WESTERNUHMWEAK
On the Failure of the Directors to
Recommend an Extra Dividend.
READING ACTIVE AND STRONG
Owing to Iss Talk of Its Men Going
Ont on Strike.
BURLINGTON AKD NEW ENGLAND FIRH
New York, Sept 13. The Btock market
was active in spots to-day, bat the dullness
in the general list was even more sharply
marked than usual of late, and outside of
the leading shares there was absolutely
nothing in the market.
From the utterances of those in authority
there was less prospect of a strike on the
Heading lines than appeared yesterday, but
the bears laid special stress upon the possi
bility of a strike as well as the cholera, the
growing scarcity of money and the general
belief that further heavy shipments of gold
trill be made as soon as the interruption to
transportation offered by the quarantine is
removed. The fact that stocks have been
so Veil held in the absence of any organ
ized support and the evident size
of the short interest, which is largely
among light operators, encouraged the
bulls, however, and every concession was
the direct result ol special pressure by the
bears. Western Union was the only prom
inent stock to ehow special weakness and
even in Reading and St. Paul, which were
the leading active stocks, the fluctuations
were confined to small fractions alter an
early rise of per cent in Reading, the di
rect result of the urgency or the demand to
cover shorts. Tho strength in Reading.Bur
llngtonandNew England in the early deal
ings ceased to ha e any appreciable effect
upon the rest of the list.
The action of the Western L nion directors
in foiling to recommend an extra dividend,
as exiiected in some quarters, made that
stock tho weak point in tho maiket in the
afternoon, and its loss was material, but it
failed to drag anything down with it, and
later there was renewed buying of Heading
and the Industrials, which brought their
prices up to materially higher figures than
tlioso of the opening. There was, however,
no lack, ol pressure in tho grangers, and on
comparatively large transuctions they all
were held within small fractious ol their
111 st prices, and tun rest of the list remained
dull and without movement of importance
in either direction .
The forces at work in the market remained
quite etcury balanced until the close and
lew change of note were established, ex
topt in the stocks incntlonod. The market
finally closed rather unsettled on a moder
ate -volu'iie of business.
ltnilrnad bonds ueie even less animated
than re-sterday, the total transactions being
only $791 000, and even in the Reading issues
theie,as no special activity. The changes
weie all lor insignificant tractions ana no
tendency of piices in elthei direction was
to be noted. The close V as dull and steady.
Government bonds wCe dull and steady.

J. S. Bache & Co. to Oakley & Co: "Reading
was the only strong stock worthy of note,
and it advanced on the report that no strise
would be declared. It was not said in which
way Jlr. HcLeod was going to settle the
strike questiim, but if the matter is settled
the President of the road must recede from
Ins position. The stock scored a sharp ad
nncein tbeast quaitcrof an hour, and a
good deal of stock was bought in for the
bears. Tne grangers were weak, the advance
in com and the prediction" of frost for
Not thern Iowa and Illinois having a marked
effect.
"The market has had a pretty good ham
mering the last lew days, and a "small rally
rmy he engineered to squeeze out the short
interest; s.ill, we believe stocks will go
loner before any substantial rise can take
place, as conditions are unfavorable."

A BULGE IN CORN.
Jrck Frost an Important Factor in tho
Market Jnst Now tTbeat, Oats and
l'i ovlsions Follow Corn Crop Kews
Generally Henrisli.
CntCAOO, Sept. 13 A bulge of over 2e a
bushel, with much attendant excitement,
was witnessed in the corn pit to-day. Tho
advance was largely duo to the report of
frosts last night, w hich It was thought must
have mateiially injured tho crop and'more
midsevciei trosts werefcarodto-nignt. This
taken In connection with the late Govern-
rneni report, made shorts alarmed and
started :i big line or covering. All the other
m.ukcts on the floor were more or less at-
lecicd by the action of tho corn market.
Improvements over yesterday's closing quo
tations were effected as follows: Wheat,
about Jfc; corn, le; oats. a; pork from 10
to 15c.
There was a sensation in the seed market,
timothy gaining 17c per buseel, due to tho
unfavorable crop news.
The charters were heavy, amounting to
461,000 bushels of wheat and 542,000 bushels
corp. Wheat was a shade firmer at the
opening on the decrease in the quantity of
flour and wheat on ocean passage. The up
ward tendency was aided by the receipts at
Chicago being considerably under the esti
mates, very oold weather reported in the
If orth west, advices from Minneapolis that
the receipts had fallen off considerably dur
ing the past week owing to the wet weather,
the Signal Service predictions or frost in the
Korthwest and the strength In coin. News
was sent In from Iowa that the average
yield ot winter wheat In that State was 17K
bushels and IS bushels or spring. While
these were not equal to the big yields of last
year they aro rather above tho averaee for a
series of years.
The Iowa State corn report was quite
bullish, saying the past week was cool and
little progress made, and reported the con
dition at 75, acreage 81 and yield abont 64 per
cent ol an average crop. Severe frosts be
fore the 25th would reduce the outlook
materially, and 20 per cent will require the
whnln month to nintiue. The Weather
Bureau predicted heavy frosts to-night In
Wisconsin. Iowa, Nebraska and probably
light In Kansas, Northern Missouri and
Northern Illinois.
The provision market was depressed for a
short time near tho opening by the heavy
receipts of hogs, but Inter the big advance
In corn with a prospective further advanco
should frost materialize with ci op damaging
severity to-night caused some covering by
shorts and In tho end the market became
quite strong and closed generally higher
than on the day befote.
Pork is 10c higher for October and 15c
higher for January. Lard for October is un
changed, but 2Kc higher for January.
October ribs aro unchanged and January
7K nigher.

A slightly firmer tone was apparent in
some of the leading shares, notably Da
qnesne traction. Central traction and
Philadelphia Company, in all of which
small fractional' gains over yesterday's
closing quotations were established, and
the general inquiry, while comparatively
light on the surface, was said to be quite as
wide and strong as ever underneath. The
firming up of Philadelphia Company was
one of the surprises of the day.
It was in demand from the bo-t
of sources, the disposition to sell was
less marked, and the readiness nithwhloh
it was absorbed, and that, too, at Using
prices, was accepted as meaning that the
stock would not be unfavorably affected if
the directors decide, as it is believed they
will, not to increase the dividend rate at
their coming meeting. The strength of
Duquesne traction was not surprising, but
it was one of the features of a somewhat
featureless market. The stock sold dtopped
into strong hands, as usual, and all tho indi
cations pointed to a continuance of the ad
vance. On merit alone tho stock
is probably high enough, but
merit is playing second violin in this in
stance. The price is evidently going to be
higher and there seems to be littlo risk In
buying at the present range for a turn of two
or thiee dollars a shaie at least. Bosidos
the street railways mentioned P. & B. trac
tion appeared to be a little firmer without
being anj- highei. It was expected that the
lights granted the Gr.indviewTraction Com
pany by Councils would have a weakening
influence on P. & U., but such was not the
case. It was strongly suppoited at 25, with
very little pressnro to tell at 26. The
strength of' Central traction was In
some way connected with the oidi
nance pioviding lor the extension of
the Central Transit Company's lines over
certain East End streets. Tho Central Tran
sit Company Is part and p.ncel of the Pltts-burg-Duquesne
system, and it Is popularly
supposed that the latter will some day turn
up in control of Central traction. P., A. &
M. traction sold at 41, and Pleasant Valloy
and Citizens' traction were in request at
25J-6 and 6IJ respectively. Duquesne trac
tion was offered at 29Ji after tho close, the
final board quotations being 205029. Cen
tral traction, which sold at 2'jH "nu closed
at 29 bid, nas wanted at 29 after the
close.
Philadelphia Company openod at 23 sales,
sold up to 23, down to 23jJ and closed nt 23
2i heciing Gas was quoted a little off
ut lt19. but the other gasers were steady
to firm at about unchanged quotations,
though Bridgewuter, at 25 Did, was five
points below the closing bid of lust week.
In the industnals Airbrake was quoted at
lSSi bid, Union Switch and Signal at 1S
16, do prefened at 32 bid. Undeigrouud
Cuulo at 78 asked, and Westtnghouse Elec
tric second preferred at 3733. All were in
good demand.
Luster was weak, 50 shares selling regular
ly at 9 and shares "lor the account of
whom it may concern" at the same pilce,
the stock closing at 9 hid.
A rumor was current that a special meet
ing of the stockholders would soon be called
for the puiposedf otmgioror against an
increase in the capital stock, but a stock
holder close to tho inside stated that the
rumor was without foundation. As usual
in the case of Luster, "you ptysyour money
and you takes your choice."
Our Foreign Trade.
The foreign trade of the United States dur
ing the fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1892, ag
gregated $l,857,679,b0i, exceeding the largest
trade in any previous year by $128 000,000.
The trade of the year was made up of im
ports, $827,10L57J, and or exports, $1,030-278,030.
The ex ports were subdivided into domestic
pi oduct", $1,015,732,011, and foreign exports,
$14,546,019. The increaso in trade, over the
flguies ot the pievious year, was entirely in
our exports, as the imports showed a slight
falling off from the recordjof JS91 It.aj"-"--lrom
statistician image's analysis that
iarm products turnished 78, 1 per cent of tho
total trade last year, in value aggregating
$796,717,676. This exceeds by more than $150,
000,000 the value or our shipments of agricul
tural pioducts In any single previous year,
and surpasses the recoid of 189 by more
than $260,000,003. Separating the total trade
in farm pioducts into that made up of ani
mals and their products, bread and bread
stuffs, cotton and cottonseed, and the mis
cellaneous products. It appears that the ex

Airbrake Company from Its repair work

gulllcient to enable the company to pay 15
percent per annum on its capital of $5 000,

and in a low yeai s liore will amount to mil

next at the latest. This plan adjoins the
Sunnysida plot, and the agents icport a
steady Inquiry for this and adjacent proper
ties. The lact that the extension ot the
Pleasant Valley electric road to Bellevne is
not far from completion has caused quite
a stiffening in values of realty in that
vicinity.

same price. The demand for sugar has not
abated any and higher prices seem probable,
thoueh some pretty good authorities believe
top has been reached.
Cofiee continues strong at the last ad
vance. No. 8, a very low roasting grade, is
quoted in the East at 14c to arrive, and as
other toasting grades aie correspondingly
high it looks as If roasted must soon be ad
vanced again.
Fruits and vegetables are in big supply
and prices are easier.
Advices received to-day from cheese pro
ducing centers in New York and Ohio noted
scant stocks and lising markets.
Grain is barely steady at quotations.
Pucesate inclined to weaken, says 11 Chi
cago authority, on fine crop piospectr, largo
offerings and increased stocks in primaiy
markets. Tne uiling piices for wheut are
still remarkably low, and many people think
there must be an advance Inter. This leel
ingls shaied by agieat many tanners, who
aie selling only their ordinary qualities of
wheat, and holding back the best grades. To
such an extent is this done that the current
receipts include, a singularly small propor
tion of contract grade. Receipts of winter
wheat heio and elsewhoie have fallen off
materially of late, w hile in the Northwest
the spring wheat receipts are on the In
crease. It Is stated that about two-thli ds of
tho spring wheat in Minnesota and the
Dakotas is now iu shock and threshing has
commenced. Fall plowing1 is going on in
vatlous States and seeding has commenced
In come sections. Oats aro strengthened by
the small crop, but corn it weak under the
big receipts, fine grading and promising
crop outlook.
Hog products continue weak, despite a
slight stiffening in the price o. live lios,
and dealers intimato that a further decline
In Borne ot the articles quoted will be estab
lished this week.
Ihe comparatively high pries of sugar is
having a decidedly stimulating eiiect on
ayiups and molasses.
