S5Rw gggBggBTHW hi SHORTS BUT STOCKS And Their Operations Help Sustain Drooping Market. SOME SHARES ABE ADYAHCED. Laics Bhor and Delaware and Hudson Lead In Weakness. WHEBL1HQ 1ND LAKE ERIE STRONGEST KewTork, Sept 16. The stock market felt the (Sects of the announcement that cholera had found a lodging in the city thli morning, bat while there was an immense pressure of long stocks seeking a market in the early dealings, the covering of shorts by the professionals for some time stemmed the tide and quotations were actually ad vanced. The spectacle of the commission houses selling against buying by the professional element is one which has not been seen often of late. The evidence that the selling had been overdone was conclusive, and while the flood of stocks ofiered on stop orders finally overbore the buying and depressed prices .still further before noon, the pressure after that time soon subsided and rallies were the rule. There was less excitement than yes--terday, but the early dealings after a lower opening were marked' Dy great feverlsbness and Irregularity, though tbe leading sharps, scored advances extending to per cent. Stocks such as Heading, Atchison, Northern Paclflo preferred and Onion Pacific were lield above the opening prices, their very strength diminishing with the width of fluc tuations. The special features of tbe day were Lake Shore and Delaware and Hudson, each of which retired 2 per cent. The covering of shorts served to restrain the decline some what, but there was no reaction worthy of tbe name, and the whole market was weak throughout the session. Only one excep tion Is to be noted, the Wheeling and Lake Erie shares showing great recuperative power, and they stand alone this evening in showing advances where declines are the rule. , Tbe market closed active and weak at or near the lowest prices of tbe day. Bailroad bonds were dull and remained generally weak with few changes or note and no speoial animation except In the Union Paclflo Trust 6', which furnished $315,000 out of tbe total day's business of 11,019,000. Government bonds were dull and steady. Close of tbo list. U. S. 4s reg- U. S. 4s coup , U. S. 46 reg , .114 .114 .100 JlotuaJ Union 6s".. .110 N.J. C. Int. Cert. .111 Northern Pac.

"If the rest of the country does not take fright we do not think the cholera thut threatens us will be as serious as most peo ple suppose. This city is In excellent sani tary condition and able to coDe with any disease, and we think that very few cases will come forward here before the winter sets In. About the general market it is hard to say how far the (right will reach. We feci a little more disposed to buy stocks, but only advise it on weak spots."

The depressing features were the cholera scare, lower cables and absence of frost In the corn belt. The latter put corn down and wheat followed in sympathy. Trading was of a light order.

AIE BRAKE AND ELECTRIC GAIN And Pnguesne and P. & B. Traction Among the Weak Spots.4 LOCAL AND GENEEALTlNANCIAL NEW8 Thuksday, Sept 15. The 'demoralization in Wall street late yesterday, in consequence of the official announcement that cholera bad obtained a foothold in the metropolis, found very little reflection here this mornin?. The local shares that have a market in the East were steady, and while a few declines occurred throughout the list the market generally ruled much steadier than anticipated. In deed, a few of the leading stocks advanced, and tbe advances were all the more signifi cant since they were scored by the shares that have been prominent in the up ward movement of the past footnight. The Newspaper reports of the cholera's progress failed to noticeably intensify the feeling of uneasiness here, and, contrary to expecta tions, prices on the New York Stock Ex change held fairly steady, and that, too, in spite of a choice collection of plague rumors circulated by the beats. Coarse of the Local List. P. & B. traction, Union Switch and Signal, Philadelphia Company, Westinghouse Elec tric second preferred, Cential traction. People's Plpeage, Pleasant Valley Rail way and Luster Mining Company figured In the trading on 'Change, with P. & B. traction the most prominent. The stock opened off at 25 sales, sold down to 2JJi and closed at 2525. No special oause nas assigned for tne bieak excepting a lack of support, though in a general way the feeling on the stock was bearish. Union Switch and Signal sold at 16Ji, closing at IS 1SJ. Philadelphia Company was slightly weaker at 23 sales and a close at 22KQ23. Most of the sales, it was said, were for East ern account, particularly the ones made off 'Change, a number of which were re ported. It was stated in certain quar ters, however, that Boston was quietly increasing its holdings. These statements were rather confusing, and the only way thoy could be reconciled was bv assuming that New York was'solling and Boston buy ing. Westinghouse Electric second pre fei red sold at Sl, closing somewhat lower; Central traction sold at 29, closing at 29 asked; People's Pipeage sold at 15, closing at 1515; Pleasant Valley Railway sold at 25, closing at 2525. and Luster Mining Com pany sold at 9, closing at fl9. Airbrake was bid ur to 140k at the second call, but the final quotations were 139 142. Westinghouse Electric unassented wit.-, uio up to 22 at the second call, but it also closed Delow the highest at 2223. Un derground Cable was quoted at 7677 and Switch and Signal pieierred at 32 bT.l. Citizens' Traction w as stronger. The quo tations on 'Change weie G1J62, but there were transactions on the street at 62 and 62 nas bid after the close. Duquesne Traction went off a little in the absence ot support, the final quotations be ing 29H29. The neakiiess apparent in People's Pipe ago nas ascribed to intimations that the dividend lor the current quarter would be 1 instead ol 2 per cent. The declaration of the regular dividend by thedirectots of the Philadelphia Com pany had no appreciable influence one way or the other. Stocks at Auction.

All accounts with the nrm will be settled by Thomas B. Rea. Thomas R. Rea. Bamcel'Eea. The announcement surprised most of those present, but it was learned that the Messrs. Rea had been contemplating retir ing from the street for some time oast. The have not been losing money or meet ing with any fiesh disasters through their outside correspondents, but they simply came to the conclusion that, while theie was some profit in the brokerage business as they were conducting it, it was secured by an expenditure entirely out of proportion. They were under heavy expense for private telegraphic service, investments In ex change memberships n ere large, and in gen eral the money invested in the business was returning less than if Invested in almost any other line. The retirement of the firm is to be re gie t ted. Mr. Thomas B. Rea, who has been the most active member of the Aim ever since its organization, some 10 or 12 years ago. did more than any other man to es tablish the stock department of the Ex change, and to him the public is largely In debted for the Drotection offered by tho stock calls. The firm has always stood high in the estimation of the street and pub lic. When D-acon White went down in his desperate attempt to coiner corn he was the correspondent of Rea Bros, in New Tork and Chicago, and meeting with embarrassment through his failure were compelled to suspend temporarily. They subsequently paid their obligations to the last cent, however, aud resumed. Messrs. Rea Bros. & Co. have always conducted their operations within tho lines preset ibed by excellent judgment, high principle and rigid integrity, and the branch or business with which they have been identified is all the better for their having been engaged in Local State Banks.

SUGAR AGAIN ADVANCED. Haw and Refined Elevated Another Frac tion in the East and Local "Wholesalers Hark Up Quotations Accordingly Cheese Higher and Fancy Flour Lower. Thursday, Sept. 15. The sugar market is booming. EeSners have been compelled to mark up refined in consequence of another advance in the raw article, and local dealers have added an other eighth to quotations. Stocks of raw sugars are almost exhausted, and there is very little to be had owing to the quaran tine restrictions. Refiners are largely over sold and unable to make anything like prompt deliveries. A good deal of raw sugar Is held In Quarantine at Phila delphia and until it is raised raw sugar will be very scarce. Good authorities say it would be the worse kind ot pnlloy to admit the sugar no In quarantine into this coun try, or any other merchandise of a like na ture that has arrived or may arrive fi om plague stricken ports. They believe it should be kept out of the country until the cholera has entirely died out, and then only admitted upon demonstration that it is free irom tbe germs 01 the terrible scourge. cheese was advanced this morning and the market quoted strong at the advance. The strength of the matket ror New Tork cheese is partly due to tho fact that some or the factories were shut down this season in consequence or a large number of farmers forsaking the dairy business for tho sheep raising industry. Higher prices are ex pected. fancy brands or nourare now quoted the (line as standard patents. Anotherpeouliar leature or tho market Is that notwithstand ing while winter wheat is Irom 10c to 12c per bushel cheaper than spring wheat, both spring aud winter patents ate quoted alike. No. 2 ted wheat lias advanced lo per bushel in this niaiket, but it is still a little lower than tho price paid at Toledo. Peaches, pears and grapes wore in big sup ply to-day and prices drooped a little. Ap- liies ami piums were nrmiynoia. Lemons declined under the influence of cooler weather. Timothy seed Is higher In consequence of yesterday's sharp advance in the est. A prominent operator on the Board of Trade offered to trade even any part of 1,000,000 bushels of wheat for a like quantity of potatoes, bushel for bushel, for May de livery in Chicago. Of the course of the market for seeds yesterday's Chicago Inter Ocean says: "Timothy seed developed increased anima tion and strength and prices advanced 17Uc for September without a transaction until $1 85 was readied, when five cars were sold, and the close was at that figure. Year ad vanced from $1 65 to $1 75, with sales or nine cars, aud closed at the top. T110 advance was due to the improved demand for cash and the urgent inquiry from shorts. Very little of the now crop is up to contract grade, and some of the offerings have been refused, and even when arbitrated they failed to pass. Shorts wore alarmed over the situation, and wore not disposed to run further risks. Good country lots opened at $1 68 and closed at $1 73. High grades started at $1 72 and closed at $1 80. Contract primo of last year's crops sold at $1 75, and of the croo of 1889 at $1 70. "CloslDg prices to-day were the highest since 1883." Grain, Flour and Feed.

H0B h'C0U2AGlNG. The Demand for Pig Iron and Sort Steel Im proving Lower Prices Abroad. New York, Sept. 15. c7eciaf. The Inn jtaetajs: The most encouraging develop ment of the week is the certainty that tho demand for pig iron is such that it is making inroads upon the stocks, and that simul taneously current production is even loner than it was at the beginning of August. Tha active capacity on September 1 represented a weekly make of 151,648 gross tons, against 155,136 gross tons on August L Soft steel Is arousing more and more interest. In the East some large negotiations are pending, including one lor 20,000 tons. Our Chicago correspondent records sales of 9,000 tons of billets, sheet bars and tin plate bars. Structural material and finished iron are quite active in tho Western markets, Chi cago having quickly recovered from the) signs of weakness displayed last week. Pig iron warrants have ruled Inworabroad, I Scotch selling at 41s 7d, and Cloveland at 403 on a moderate volume of trading. Business In all liuei is yet rather slow, but. between, home trade purchases and shipping trade the current production of Scotch iron seems to be closely absorbed, while Cleveland makes continue dull. Owing to the dull outlook In the steel trade, however, makers are disposed to book orders for future de livery at lower prices. Exports last month, were 83.000 tons, against 94.000 tons In Au gust, 1891. Pig tin has receded 155017s 6d and tha market has been slack. Tin plate has re mained lifeless. The only improvement Is an increase In moderate purohases of ternes. Several additional mills are stopping, bus; even this lails to improve the situation. Ex ports in August were 32,000 tons, ot which. 24,000 Jons went to America. In the corre sponiRng month of last year 5,000 tons out ot a total of 14,000 tons went to America. W00L Loroon, Sept. 15. At wool sales to-day 14,000 hales or an average quality' were offered. There was a l.mo attendance and tbe competition was more active. French buyers purchased largely of better gi easles and medium scoured. Homo buyers took ciossbreds. New York Metal Market, New York. Sept. 15. Pig iron quiet: American, $13 0015 50.
