Ij the
DULLNESS AND HEAVINESS AT THE CLOSE
New Toiik, Sept 20. The stock market
to-day was neither so active nor so strong
as that of yesterday, and the general
opinion seemed to be that the liquidation
in Northern Pacific preferred had spoiled a
very promising bull market and thrown the
trading again exclusively into the hands of
the professional element just when there
was a prospect that a wider interest was
likely to be enlisted in the support of
prices. The position of Mr. Yillard in this
movement was one of the chief subjects of
conversation on the street, and, while the
gentleman himself issued a denial that be
had sold any stock for himself, the story
came irom Philadelphia that certificates
bearing his name had been delivered. The
liquidation in the stock, however, made
but little further prozress, though the price
settled away to the lowest price of yester
day and remained there.
The general market again displayed the
same stubborn firmness w hich marked the
trading during the early hours of yesterday,
but the advance seemed to have been ef
fectually checked, and even In the indust
rials there was no disposition shown to push
the advantage farther, w hile here and there
railioad stocks were bubjocted to pressure
bv the bears without the development of
anv particularly vulnerable point and the
concessions were slight and in general the
widtn of the fluctuations was small. Erio
ltcadtn, New EnRland Burlington were in
turn subjected to ptessute, but the attack
lacked persistence and the impression made
was Insignificant.
The eaily withdrawal or support was f$l
later, however, and the market sank into
dullness without the usual advancing tend
enev, closing dull and heavy with most
stocks within the smallest fractions of the
opening prices.
Atchison income bonds furnished $263,000 ,
out of a total of $1.0(2,000. Tho market was
strong, but the gains among the active issues
wero conliued to tractions and the changes
show the usual insignificant fractions.
Government bonus were dull and steady.

J. S. Bache & Co. to Oakley & Co.: "The
weakest stock to-day was again Northern
1'uclflc preferred. Tho bears claimed that a
receiver ; ould have to be appointed, but
thU talk is, of course, exaggerated. On the

It only takes about 53 per cent tooperate the
riKtd. which is simply impossible, as other
loads that run a much more even territory
cannot bo operated below 65 per cent. The
feeling on the stock Is so bearish that a reac
tion in it ought soon to be due. Sugar ad
vanced on the decision of the Philadelphia
authorities to admit raw sugar into their

will be about $i50,009.

A BIG DEAL L RffiS.
TTrlght and Cndahy Cause a Sharp Advance
in Price They Are Keported Owners of
40,000,000 Pounds Pork and lard
Higher Corn Lower. f
CnioAOO.Sapt. 20. Feverish excitement and
the culmination of a big deal in ribs were tho
twin accompaniments in the provision pit
to-day. An advance of nearly $1 was scored
on the October option. This was equal to a
rise of about a cent a pound lor tho meat
and was accomplished in a few minutes, the
market selling from $7 65 at the close last
night to fS 60 during the first hour or 'Change
to-day. Thero was comparatively little
change In the prices of other hog products
or in cereals. It has been gossip for months
that Charles Wright and John Cudahy
were intending to corner tho market for
October ribs. Wright commenced buying
several months ago when the market was
it bout $0 and gradually accumulated prob
ably 20,000.000 pounds, tho price in the mean
time having advanced to $7 !0. Finding tho
load pretty heavy, be is supposed to have
divided this interest with Cudahy. It is
now nippo-ed these two arc long not less
than 10,000,000 pounds of ribs for October de-llei-j.
As 1 ho product has to be full cured
10 be deliverable ou contract: which re
quiros about 40 days it was supposed that
th limit was reached to-day ana no more
could bo made that would bo deliverable,
llenco it seems to have been regarded as a
favorable time to spring any surprises that
were in store for the trade. It Is generally
thonght that tho big shorts are the packers
who have ceon selling, believing that the
load the clique had was too big for it to
carry. '
Tho sudden advance In October Tibs was
not altogether without effect on other
articles in the provision line. Pork ad
vanced S335e, but settled back 1012K,
and closed comparatively steady. Trading
was mainly on local account. Brokers sup
posed to represent Armour and Company
offered lard freely and prevented prices
from going abovo 57K higher on near and
1015o on deferred deliveries.
wheat opened a shade below the close yes
terday on tho weak cables, but soon devel
oped a good deal of strength. ,Ihe strength
In provisions, andespecially the excitement
in ribs, was also a material help to wheat.
The receipts at Chicago wero considerably
under the estimates. The quantity ou
ocean passage showed a decrease, bnt it was
anticipated that thero will be a heavy in
crease in, the clearances when the cholera
blockade is lifted.
Corn was active but decidedly lower on
tho fine weather and renewed assurances
that the crop had not yet suffered any dam
age from frost.
In oats the receipts were larger than ex
pected, and this, with the depression In corn,
was the chief cause of the weakness.
There was a fair demand for vessel room
to load wheat and corn, and rates held
eteadv at 2o for wheat and 2c for corn
to Bufialo.

Shows Strength.
LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS
Tuesday, Sept. 20.
Trading in local stocks on 'Change to-day
was quite active, particularly during the
closing session of the board; but, while it
covered a number of the leading shares of
the list, only one or two of the gassers and
one or two of the tractions were atall prom
inent Of the gassers Philadelphia Com
pany declined on what looked like selling
for Eastern accounts, but it steadied to
ward the finish and closed a little above
the lowest Strange to say, Peoples
Pipeage was firm and higher
in the face of the decline in
Philadelphia Company, and this fact, in
conjunction with a steady to firm front in
tho other gassers, left the softening of tho
leader without significance. Among tho
tractions Citizens was strongest and in
most demand and closed on a good gain
over the previous day's best price. In tho
industrials Airbrake furnished the feature
with a sale of 140. LuBter Mining Company

Gossip of the Street.
An Improved inquiry for Airbrake was
noted by some of tho brokers.
A well-posted street railway man talked
as follows about tho Nortbslde roads:
"There is no doubt whatever about tho ab
sorption of the P. V. by the P., A. & M. In
all probability the details of the deal will bo
closed within CO days and the to roads
merged into one system. Manchester will
.pay a cash dividend next month, and what
money remains in the Pleasant Valley treas
ury, if any, alter the payment of its pur
chase money mortgnges, etc., will be distrib
uted among Its stockholdeis. In other
woids, there will be a clearing np of cash on
both sides before the amalgamation."
It is stated in a sort or a semi-official way
that the figures on Philadelphia Company
to be sent out with the dividend checks Oc
tober 1 will show $166,000 cash on hand and
$200,000 undisputed accounts and bills re
ceivable. The accounts and bills payable
remain about the same as on June SO, but
the regular bondoutstanding have been re
duced Irom $302,000 to 200,000. It is expected
that the entire bonded indebtedness will be
wjjued out by the end of the fiscal year on
March 31 next.
Tho Philadelphia Company well, adjoin
ing the Snee roaror in the Elizabeth field,

Those who are buying Dtiqnesne traction
are confident the stock will sell at 35 or bet
ter before Christmas.

The Allesneny Valley Railroad Company
reports that its net earnings in July were
$95,893. This is $1,840 ahead or tho net earn
ings in the same ttme last year, and the fact
that tho company has been able to maintain
its earnings, while those of tho Philadelphia
and Krio and the Pennsylvania proper have
shown marked decreases iti the net, is quite
gratifying to its friends.
"London is now overflowing with idle
funds," says Henry Clews, "and with a 5
per cent rate of interest prevailing on this
side, while 1 per cent is the rate in London,
and with the better feeling existing In
financial circles, foielgn balances are now
again commencing to accumulate here to
take advantage of the high rates of money.
It is lair to assume that tho gold shipments
will not again be resumed for the balance
of this year at least, in which event our
money market is likely to remain comfoi ta
bly eaBy to good borrowers who possess
satisfactory collaterals."

GOSSIP ABOUT SUGAR.
Prices Made by the American Sugar Kenn
ing Company Being Closely Adhered To
Some Clever Kemarks by One of the
Tvnolesalers Current Quotations.
Tuesday, Sept 20.
The sugar situation continues to be dis
cussed by wholesale grocers to the exclu
sion of almost every' other topic, but the
general opinion that the terms made by
the American Sugar Refining Company will
be adhered to by all in the trade has not un
dergone any change. Sugar has been sold
at an almost imperceptible margin of profit
for some time past, and by many houses at
a direct loss, but undor the present arrange
ment operations will show n profit, which,
while not commensurate with the amount
of work necessary to properly handle tho
goods, is much more satisfactory than It
was. At the best, however, sngar will not
pay itsshaie of the cost of conducting the
grocery business.
On tiie question of the "combine" betweon
the whoie-ale grocers and tne American
Sugar Refining Company the following, em
bodied in the prico circular of one of
the local houses, is very clever: A word in"
answer to the wild newspaper articles
which have been published during tho nast
few days, as advertising thunder, charging
an alliance with the trust of all the Pitts
burg wholesale grocers, except one or two.
Pittsburg is almost the only largo cltv east
of Chicago where the trust have not suc
ceeded in having the whoiesale grocers con
form to their request of months ago to sell
ail sugars at thulr prices. Wo have con
stantly and strougly opposed their dicta
tion Irom their first request, but do not hope
to sell von :i barrel moiu sugar for so doiiu'.
We bcllevo in individual business rights,
but now the "trust" demand that all sugars
purchased from this time forth must bo sold
at their list, or their rebate which varies
lrom5cto S-lOa will not be allowed. This
may be called an lUliunce, but we aro com
pelled to accept the dictation, Just as a child
accepts measles, because we can't help It.
lio you say o snould kick uud endeavor to
leave the impression with you that we aro
willing to pay 5u for sugar and sell it at
6;c? Our experience leads us to believe
that when closely corralled, the shoop that
comes up gracemlly nnd is shorn with the
lenst kicking has tile moBt wind when It is
over.
Heavy receipts of cattle, hogs and sheep
have caused a further settling, down in
prices, says a Chicago paper. Tho arrivals
of cattle continue especially largo and there
isuppaieutly no limit to the supply of Texas
cattle, whicn comprise a good proportion ot
the dally offerings. On the Board ofTrndo
an active week nas been experienced. Tho
larxo visible snpply or wheat Is a depressing
Influence and so is tho diminished export
movement of wheat and flour. The wheat
crop is a large one and is being marketed
rapidly. Corn has mude fine progress so fur,
but between now and October gi eat anxiety
will be felt on tho score of irosts.
Dealers aro asking moro for carpet wools,
as the bulk of tno supply comes from
countries where cholera is prevalent Manu
luctureisare well stocked with domestic
wool and' are waiting! or dealers to reduce
prices.
