HEAYI TRADING IX THE LiST HOUR
Xe- Tortc, Sept. 14. The stock market
to-day reflected the better feeling engen
dered by the settlement of the difficulties be
tween the .Reading and its employes and
the sharp and general upward movement in
the list sufficiently demonstrated the char
acter of the greater portion of the selling
of the last tew days. Tnere was a halt also
in the decline in Western Union, accom
panied by some recovery in its price, and
while the stock tailed to properly respond to
the announcement of the increase in the
capital, the buying was good and its net
gain of moment The bears, however,
while submitting to the setback which they
afiect to believe is only temporary, did not
change their ground in the least, still laying
stress upon the prospects of dearer money
with a continuation of gold shipments and
the other unfavorable factors in the situa
tion. That they did not lack the courage of
their convictions was shown by a sharp
drive at Northern Pacific prelerred and the
fi per ceut bonds which depressed the Etock
nearly 2 per cent.
The general list was still narrow and in
the mam featureless, though displaying a
1 firm temper almost throughout the day,
'which was aided in some degree by the
strength shown in the industrials, among
which Distillers was conspicuous by a large
business and a rise of nearly 2 per cent.
The grangers still presented a stubborn
front to the pressure brought to bear, but
there was less animation in them, and as a
rule small fluctuations.
The improvement in the morning was led
by Beading and the opening in that stock-
vas marked by heavy trailing ana some
excitement, the stock selling at from 35 to
C5JS on different sides of the crowd. The
animation soon subsided, however, and the
stock made but little further pi ogress,
though the list after the opening advances,
r.hich extended to 1 per cent, made further
slight can's when the upward movement
wa checked and no further advance was
made during tuo day except slight tractions
bete and thcie and a, sharp rise in Distillers
which readied nearly 2 per cent.
Tliodiivoat Xorthern Pacific preferred
weakened the rest of the list to some ex
tent, but there was no concession of note
until the Iat hour, when it became knonn
that the cholera had at last actually ob.
tamed a foothold in tuo city, and there was
u mad ru-di to get out of everything. Trices
broke badly under the pre-Toure, liiK- the
market became extremely active, the trans
action In tl.e last 45 minutes exceeding
these of anj other hour of the day. There
was evidence of-un effort to cover, and some
stocks did rally slightly, but as a rule thn
last prices of tho day weie the lowest, and
the market closed active, feverish and ez.
cito 1 at the decline.
Hie final changes were generally small
looses, but Northern 1'acille, lireterred, is
down 2JS', Lead IJs. Sugar lji, and ltoCK
Inland, .Missouri Pacific, New England aud
Di ctrie eacu 1 per cent.
Kailioad bonus were stimulated by the
animation in stocks somew-iat, but there
was still little animation or featuie of note
in the u.aiket, and on -ales ot $1,211,000 the
changes are as insignificant as usual. Texas
l'aeiflc seconds displayed some strength,
but tho Northern Pacific 5s wore weak in
connection with tho diivcat the stock and
leil away 1 per cent.

Ciiicago, Sept. 14. For fickleness and ex
citement the corn pit to-day took the palm.
Instead of a hig advance the cereal, com
pared with last night's prices, shows a loss
of c Wheat Is from nU2'c higher; oats

declines of about 5'5c. The news of chol

made light of tho frost scare and pre
dicted no damage. On this the market
started with a tumble of JJC- After a
great lot of corn was dumped tue outsido
buying began, but laterdlspatches indicated
serious damage from the freeze. The mar
ket made a tebound of a fnll cent on this
news. It was no sooner up than it sold off
again to Je better than the low point early.
There was a second rally before midday ou
a second loading ur for a possible frost to
night. This was tollowod by a third weak
spell belore 1 o'clock, when prices diopped
as low as at the opening. The close was at
14,0 from bottom prices for the dav.
Wheat was exceedingly slow and general
ly weak. There was an unusual dearth of
news affecting the market and tho slight
change which took place seemed to bo duo
almost entirely to the fluctuations in corn.
Pardridge w as said to be a (rood buyer on
all the breaks and Mitchell also bought
freely, but Logan and several other pioml
nent operators sold on all the strong spots.
A depressing Influence was Sraditrei Vs re
ported increase of 1,000,000 bushels in tho
available stocks on both coasts.
In oats there were numeious periods of
strength, but they were taken advantage of
by tho longs to sell and the increased offer
ings finally created weakness.
There was a light trade in provisions, and
prices, after fair action early, kept in very
narrow limits. The featuie or tho early
market was weakness caused by tho very
heavy hog movement. From this tnere was
a very good l ecovery, entirely in sympathy
with tho excited and higher coin market on
frost predictions. When corn weakened lato
in the day products weakened again.

PHILLIE'S DIVIDEND UNCHANGED.
Luster's Capital Stock tfill Be Increased
Before Long.
AIRBRAKE CONTINUES TO ADVANCE
AYednf.sday, Sept 14.
Cholera news depressed the New York
stock market to-day. The market opened
strong as the result of the settlement of the
troubles between the Beaming Eailroad and
its employes, and ruled strong on buying
by London and the shorts until about2 p. Id.,
when demoralization set in consequence
of the announcement bv the Board of
Health that there had been several deaths
from Asiatic cholera in the city during the
preceding 21 hours. Under this influence
nearly everything broke more or less and
the close was at the lowest The news did
not reach Pittsburg before the close
of the local board, and it remains to be seen
what effect it will .have here. It cannot
well help being depressing, and it is possible
that merlons calculations regarding the im
mediate future of the markot will nave to be
revised.
Phlllle'd Dlvidrnd.
The directors' of the Philadelphia Com
pany met in regular session at 4 o'clock this
afternoon and declared the regular quar
terly dividend of 1 per cent, payable
Octobor L Transfer books will bo closed
September 20 and reopenod October 2.
A statement of the earnings of the company
for the quarter, as well as a few figures
showing its financial condition, will accom
pany the checks for tho dividend, and it is
believed these will show tnat tho reports re
garding tho ability of the company to pay a
Higher rate were well louuded. It la under
stood that some of the directors
were In favor of an incroase, bat
weio flnallv won over to tho eldo of tho ad
vocates of tho old rato. After the meeting
Treasurer Caldwell stated that tho mem
bers of tho board were unanimously of tho
opinion that tho dividend rate ought not to
be increased at present. It is stated semi
officially that tho earnings for the quarter
wiucomtjaro lavoiauiy witn inoso oi any
similar period since the organization of tho
company. That an excellent statement will
be made is certain.
Lnittr Mining Corop-iny.
The Boird of Directors of the Luster Min
ing Company held a regular meeting tjils
afternoon, but no action was taken on tho
matter of calling a special meeting of tho
stockholders to vote on a proposition to in
creaso the capital stock of tho company.
It is officially stated, however, that
the meeting will be called bo
foro long. On this subject Socie
tary Sillier talked to TnE Dispatch as
follows: "Thore hns been more or less talk
about an increase for souio time past, and it
will probably ultimately be made, but tho
directors aie evidontly in no hurry about it,
as the matter did not even come up for con
sideration at this afternoon's meeting. Tho
plant represents ton times as much as tho
capital invested, and would sell any day
lor so vcral times as much."
Wentinghonse Elf c'ric
According to tho Boston Stews Hureau a
Boston gentleman, who has just made a
thorough investigation of the Westinghonso
Electric Company with Mr. George Westlng
hoose, Jr., says it is about time to state facts
regarding the enormous business the com
pany in doing. lie says its business Is upon a
cash basis; its pcicentage ot net earnings
gteater than any company doing a liko
business: that its goods tiavo the preference
over all others, and that prospects ate that
it will doublo its present business inside of

W. L Mustln arrived homo from his West
ern trip this morning, as The Dispatch said
he would, and received a hearty wolconfo
when l.e put in an appearance on 'Change nt
the last call. lie signalized his appearance
by bidding Westinghouse Electric unassisted
unto 21. In talklnir of his triif Mr. Mnstin
said Seattle was located right in the center
of the richest country on earth, but that
money was badly needed to develop it. "A
lender can get 10 and 12 per cent in Seattle
with gilt-edged collateral security ," said ho,
"and any one can take a lew thousand
dollars there and make a comfortable Hying
lending money."
The Philadelphia Stockholder says that at
the meeting of tho Western Union's Execu
tive Committee "it was decided to Increase
the capital stock to an even $100,000,000, but
the teims upon which it Is proposed to put
out this eleven or twelve millions of new
stock wero not made known'. They will be
withheld, doubtless for some "time yet for
the purpose of making them availaule for
service in the stock market. Already there
are in this connection intimations that the
stock will bo put out on Drivlleges decidedly
favorable to tue present ho. .era."

"Wednesday, Sept 14.
Trade reports to-day noted a fair volume
of business in progress, with orders steadily
growing in number and importance. The
hand-to-mouth policy which prevailed last
month has been discontinued, and as the
drift of prices of most staples is upward, a
disposition is shown by city retailers and
all others dependent upon this center for
supplies to lay in good stocks. The Expo
sition Is helping buslnoss somewhat, the lin
pr ovement in tho lion and steel and allied
trades 13 u stimulating factor, collections
are easy aud the pi ova lent tone is ono of
cheerfulness and confidence. The possi
bility of a prolouge d visitation of cholera is
about the only cloud on tho business sky,
and even this Ispraotlcallygrowlngsmallcr.
According to tne percentages lurnisneu
