SOME HEAVY SELLING OP NIPPER
Checks the Advancing Tendency of
Eest of the List
URGENT DEMAND IN THE LIST HOUR
Sett Tore, Sept 19. The stock mar
ket in general began the nev week
with a firm temper and an undeniable ad
xaneing tendency, being aided both by
higher London figures and buying by the
foreign houses, as well as by continued
covering ot shorts by the local operators.
A little encouragement to buy stocks -was
also furnished by the prevalent manipula
tion of the industrial stocks, Distillers,
Sugar and Chicago Gas all being specially
active and strong. But, on the other hand,
the disorganized conditions now prevailing
among railroad affairs in the Pacific north
west furnished the strongest inducement
for the selling of long stocks in Northern
Pacific, and the pressure brought to
bear upon the preferred stock was
such that it was driven down about 3
per cent, and such a movement acted as a
check upon the naturally advancing tend
ency for the rest of the market. To aid the
liquidation, rumor had it that the most
prominent director or the company was a
seller of the stock and had advised its sale
to his lriends. That there was no lack of
short sales by the bear contingent was to be
expected and the whole strength of that
class of operators was concentrated urjon
this one point with the design of counter
acting the new strength developed in the
market since the announcement of the set
tlement of the Heading labor troubles, and
theso were, to a certain extent, successful,
tending to restrict buying of stocks though
unable to induce any new selling movement
in tlie general list.
The natural strength of the market finally
carried everything before it and in the last
hour there was an urgent demand forstocks
of all kinks. The market closed fairly act
ive and strong at the top figures for most
everything on the list.
Bailroad bonds wore stimulated into
something like activity and a much better
temper marked the trading, though only
Atchison incomes and Heading thirds
showed any special activity.

J. S. Bache & Co. to Oakley & Co.: "During
the afternoon the bears became a little
nervous, and as Gould's pet stock was bid
up the shorts thought best to even up, and
they bought tbo market, causing a sharp
rally. The market looks to us as though the
6horts would cover further in the morning,
but then stocks must be sold, as we think
the rally is nearly over. The east-bound
shipments continue large, and the total
shows an increase overlastyear. The roads
running through Minnesota and Dakota are
doing a large business, bnt the grain traffic
at Kansas City and St. Louis is tailing off, as
tho rush Is over at those points. The great
trouble out West is that rates are unsatis
factory." Sterling exchange is weak, and there is
not any chance for gold going out.
From Sprou I & Co.'s market letter: "The
general market lias responded to the moro
favorable influences. Under the circum
stances the outlook continues to favor a
moderate appieclation in values of staple
stock.''

CHICAGO 'CHANGE.
Slight Declines Established In the Grain
. and Provision Pits.
CniCAOO, Sept. 19. At 75 cents a bushel to
day there seemed to bemillionsof bushelsor
wheat wanted by purcnasers and ror sale by
owners. A fear has existed In some auar
ters that when tho market reached that fig
ure for December delivery the pit would be
swamped by a deluge of stop loss orders.
The instructions to buy about that price
proved rather more numerous, however,
than the directions to selL Nevertheless
the leellng was on the whole heavy, and at
the close Ho was knocked oS Saturdar's
closing prices. Corn lacked what it appears
to need In order to sustain the price a dam
aging frost. A further decline took place,
and at the close its value was jeduced 52o
compared with Saturday's closin" quota
tion. Provisions were dull and a tilflo
lower.
At no time did tho price of wheat get out
ofuranjreof Jo. Considering the extreme
narrowness of the trade, and tho manydo-
iiressing features of the situation, the stub
Kirn ness with which tho market resisted the
efforts to break rather surprised tho trade.
Among the most prominent weakening
factors was the enormous receipts in the
Northwest nearly 1,500 cars the weak and
lower cables, and a report that the yellow
flag had again been hoisted over a oonple of
steamers in quarantine lu New York harbor.
Indicating that other cases of cholera had
broken out there. The visible supply also
proved a depressing laotor. But the buying
on all the weak spots was sufficient to pre
vent anything like a slnmp, and prices kept
tolerably steady. Buyers found a little en
couragement in the tact that Chicago stocks
Increased but, 9,000 bushels with all the
heavy receipts of tho past week. The out
ward movoment by lake kept stocks fiom
piling up. Bloom, who went lone on over
600,000 bushels of wheat last week around
iS&c, has apparently not been shaken out
yet, but bonght neatly 250,000 bushels more
on the break to-day, so it is said.
Corn exhibited more activity than on
Saturday. Heceipts w.ere larger than
expected, 490 cars, but included Sun
dav'swork on three rotds. The gen
the
erous receipts, indicating willingness of
farmers to part with their old corn, wero
taken as an admission that the outlook for
the new crop was satisfactory to those who
ought to know the most about it.
The close in oats was at a decline of about
(c, compared with Saturday, except tor
May, which shows Jo loss.
The provision market was dull and weak.
The receipts of hogs at Chicago were less
than bad been looked for, but that had little
effect, in view of the tact that the packers
appear to find the most profitable market
for their product in selling it to speculators
for future delivery.

LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS
MONDAT, Sept. 19.
The advices from the East to-day were
decidedly encouraging, noting a subsidence
of the fear of cholera and tight money and
an upward drift in prices on the Ifew York
Stock Exchange. "The chief influence
afiecting prices," said a special to a local
house, "was undoubtedly the more rational
view taken ot the cholera situation. It is
now recognized that New York and the
country at large is not and has not been in
danger of a visitation of the epidemic
Another factor, however, has been
little inferior in its effects. Money is appar
ently becoming easier. Foreign houses have
been induced by the prevalence of high
rates of interest here and the accompanying
decline of foreign exchange to lend money
freely." A special to another house read as
follows: "The newspapors that have been
doing their best to produce a panic In this
city by means or their sensational head
lines are beginning to show a change and
have at last become conservative. We are
told that this was only accomplished after
very energetio means had been taken by
some of their biggest customers in the retail
Business, xnese nouses notineu tne ainer
ent dallies that if they kept on doing every
thing in their power to increase tho ner
vousness of tbo publio it would be useless
for them to insert any notices in their
papers, as people would not come to their
stores." No matter what produced tho
change, it was n welcome one, as the tension
here was very appieciably relaxed.
Courso of the Local List.
Trading on 'Change was fair, and while
changes were slight they were neatly all in

Luster Mining Company.
The Dispatch has had considerable to say
of late about Luster Mining Company, Its
condition, prospects, etc. and the remarks
have drawn out the following communica
tion from one who, while pretty close
to the inside, is not especially interested
and is known to be reliable and conserva
tive:
PiTTSBnito, Sept. 19.
Financial Editor Dispatch:
Dear Sib Now that Mr. Theiss, the new
manager of Luster, will be nt the mine in
two orthreo days, the friends of the enter
prise feel very much encouraged and expect
substantial results. The company has met
with a series 01 mishaps, the last being the
faulty construction or the ovens; but quite
likely by this time that has been remedied.
One thing after another has Interfered with
the successful opeiation of the mine, but
those mostlargely interestedin thepropcrty
have never faltered in their confluence
in tho company's futuie. JMr. Theiss
is tho son of tho inventor of the
process of chlorination adopted by Lustre
and which has been in successful operation
at the Hale .Mines, South Caiolina, where $4
ore is worked at a profit sufficient to pay 6
per cent, upon a capital of half a million dol
lars. In a series of experiments made under
adverse conditions it is said that 83 per cent,
of the assay value of the Lustre concentrates
have been saved, and as, with the ovens now
in use, 12 tons of $42 concentrates can be
successfully worked, it begins to look as it
dividends wero not as lur off as tho com
pany's foes would wish. Such Is the talk of
the friends or the company, but I do not
vouch for its nccuracy. Mr. Theiss
left here for the mines last Thurs
day, accompanied by his underground
engineer, and as lie Is thoroughly
lamiliar with his father's process of treat
ment of the 010s, having himself been for
two years In solo charge of the Hale mines,
it is to be hoped that in the course of two or
three months it will be demonstrated wheth
er the process can be successfully applied to
ths Luster ores under existing conditions.
It is confidently claimed that it can be done,
and that, as I said before, it has been done
at tho mine in a series or experiments. Of
course, success is assured if but 88 percent
of $42 50 concentrates can bo saved, even if
concentrated 10 into one, as with tho oven
they now have they can roast L! tons
per day. It becomes almost entirely a mat
ter of lnci eased machinery and oven-room
under such circumstances; as It is generally
conceded that there is an abundance of ore
at tho Lustre mines, averaging perhaps $14
to $16 per ton, although many quostion the
concentration oflO, or more than 5, tons into
one, owing to the abundance of iron pyrites"
and sulphur. Forty dollars a ton, or say
$350 net per day, would vield a fair return on
$200,000, and might justify an increased capi
tal.' R. F. s.
The TroUey Growing In Favor.
The big syndicate controlling the surface
lines of street railways In New York appear
to be meeting with sucoess in overoqmlng
the feeling there against the Introduction of
the trolley lines. Several of the big dallies
with powerful influence have recently coma
out, says tho Philadelphia Stockholder, and
plainly characterized the howl abont tho
oeaaiy" character or tne trolley and de
scriptions of It, "as an instrument of death,"
as the sheerest nonsense. They have also
stated that the trolley is the only really
practical method yet known for the use of
electricity for motive purposes, and advise
the citizens not to De deceived by the wild
scare raised in other places where every
thing In the way of an innovation is opposed
on general principles.

NO CHANGE AT ELGIN.
Creamery Butter TFlll Itemaln Unchanged
In Price for Another Week Cheese
Firmly Held and Advices Bullish Grain
Dull Fruits Lower.
3IONDAT, Sept. 19.
The Elgin Butter board did business to
day at last week's prices, and in conse
quence there will be no change here in
creamery butter quotations this week. The
market is quoted steady to strong. Cheese
is firmly held at last week's advance and
advices from primary points continue to
be bullish.
The markets are opened fairly active for
Monday, the only line in which positive
dullness was observable being in grain, feed
and hav. Receipts of late have been rather
excessive.
Peaches were salable to-day only at
marked concessions, the supply being un
usually heavy, but other fruits wero steady
at about last week's prices.
The supply of potatoes continues light
and a very firm market is reportod, with a
rising tendency to prices.,
Southern planters, it Is said, intend to
commence manufacturing a flno grade of
sugar for the grocery trade.
With the liberation of the beet sugar that
has boen detained in quarantine at New
Tork and Philadelphia tho raw sugar market
should ease up a little and the refined
maiket sympathize.
Standard Harford county canned 1 corn
was sold in good-sized blocks at 83a f. o. b.
In the Eastern market late last week, and
that prleo was subsequently bid for addi
tional quantities.
Evaporated California peaches, while
rather slow of sale in the Eastern marker,
are no cheaper. Ordinary goods In sacks
are still valued at 14.15c, and choice at
15c and upw ard.
Western jobbers, so It was reported, were
freo bidders at 10c f. o. n on the coast for
California prunes, 60s to 90s, in sacks. East
ern Jobbers are as yet very indifferent buy
ers. Demand for California dried Lima beans
has beon rather slow latterly, and some par
cel wore offered from second hands nt $2 per
bushel. Cost in tho primary market is rela
tively higher.
It would seem that some New Tork can
ners have packed more corn this season
than tbey have contracts for. At all events
tbeie was some negotiation on Saturday,
with sellers at $1 per dozen.
Grain, Flonr nnd Feed.
As a rule the market was weaker to-day,
and the weakness was accompanied by dull
ness. The only transaction- 011 call at the
Grain and Flour Exchange to-day was in
No. 2 yellow shelled corn, one car, spot, sell
ing at 54c. The principal bids and offers
were as lollows:
