BDL1S PREDICTING A BIG BISE Throughout the List Under tu Leadership of the Coalers. L. & N. AND BURLINGTON DEPRESSED Ketv Toek, Sept 21. The late liqui dation on both sides of the account have once more narrowed the market, and again a few shares are specially prominent in tbe dealings. The Union Pacific developments continue to hang over the market, but sanguine bulls express the opinion that the rest of the list 'will soon break away from this depressing influence and resume the natural movement which suffered an inter ruption so lately. There were rumors of certain new combinations of bull opera tors on the street to-day, and the buying of Brie, whioh undoubtedly was more con spicuous in the market than lor some time, was for the account of one of these pools. Considerable was heard about the size ol the short interest in Beading and the move ment in that stock had appearance of ashy at the shorts. The liquidation in Distillers seems not to be complete and it fluctuated widely to-day without scoring any material change in its quota tion. Louisville and Nashville, however, was made tbe subject or special pressure, whicb. although it came late, was sufficient to depress It 1 per cent. The drive v, as pro fessional and w as soon over and was fol lowed by the usual partial recovery. Tbe general list was loner at the opening. No further progress was made until tbe last hour, when the Coal stocks were brought to the lront and advanced sharply under strong buying, ana the final dealings were more active and stronger than those af any previous time of the day. The bulls are pre dicting a consldetable rise in the market with the Coal stocks as leaders, on the theory that no hostile legislative action can affect either earnings or the price of coal, which will be maintained whether the roads are operated as a combination or as Inde pendent corporations. The market closed rather heavy on a re action from the late rise, with most stocks at close to nrst puces, xnennai cnanges were naturally light in most cases, but Bur lington showed a loss or !, while Lacka wanna n us up i, Delaware and Hudson and Beading Railroad bonds were very dull, but there was a better temper to the dealings, and a few speculative bonds were advanced mate rially. The Reading Issues were prominent in the advance, but only tbe seconds, with a rise of J. was specially conspicuous. The dealings reachod only $324,000. Government bonds were dull and steady.

During the forenoon nothing of interest de eloped and prices re mained steauy, but after that the bears Attain tried their hand and worked about quire a reaction. The coalers, on -the other land, were very strong and on the report that something cood was going to come out soon Reading scored quite an advance. The bears lay ttress on the fact that frost is again expected to-night in the whole corn belt, and If this takes place, it nlll be a good noint for their side, but the fact remains. nevertheless, that the selling to-day was en- lirtrit BUUlb .Abi'Vfh. i o tuiun. wic iUAibCb will be good for a little rally again to-morrow.

Cnicaoo, Sept, 2L About all of the leading articles dealt in on tbe Board of Trade were weak and lower this morning, and the ten dency was downward during a good deal of tbe foronoon. Later, however, a better feel ing prevailed and the carlv losses, especially In grain, wore recovered, with something to spare. In the face of early demoralization in corn, and some pretty free offerings by bears, who hoped to induce Bloom to let go of his long stuff,, the wheat market was firm and when the pressure was re moved it soon reacted. There was not much Importance attaohed to the news, and in fact there wu little of any kind, but trade was very slow and. narrow. Cables were lower early, domestic market slow and tbovo all corn snowed n very considerable slump. The distrust started prices offwlien a good deal ot tbe Wheat bought yesterday came oat and short sellers took courage and sold generously. Predictions by the Signal Service of a general oool wave to-morrow, an improved export demand to tbe sea board, unsettled weather in Great Britain and a slightly better tone' in late cables, together with bullish disjJatches in regard to the yield, qnality and prospective move ment or the crop in tbe Northwest, 'caused a reaction which carried prices np about lo, the market closing strong within Kc of tne top. Corn was decidedly weak and lower, Octo ber selling off at one time fully lo below yesterdav's close, out May didn't sbowfas much. On the' decline shorts took hold freely and prices rose sharply with the01ose near the top. Oats were weak early In sympathy with" corn, but reacted with ft and closed with an advance of about K- Hog products were weak early but finally recovered the decline and closed at aDout medium figures, having fluctuated during the session within a narrow range.

AN UPWARD REACTION In Philadelphia Company 'With Which a Few SharesSympathize. AIRBRAKE LKADS IN STRENGTH Closely followed ly Citizens' Traction and Other Street Kailirays. LOQAL AHD GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS "Wednesday, Sept 51. The course of Philadelphia Company to dayfully demonstrated that the market for the stock has been controlled by tbe specu lators entirely for two or three days past. Always more of less ot a gamble ever since the cut in the 13 per cent dividend rate, its, movements have never been so com pletely the result of speculative operations :as since the Board of Directors declared the regular dividend a week ago, and "that, too, in spite -of the fact that it ha? not been so close to a legitimate investment basis for three years as during the past week. It has been a very profitable play thing for Boston and New York traders, and local scalpers between this and Eastern matkets have also turned many n dollar in it. On the breaks that have occurred in regular order, however, considerable stock has fallen into strong Investment hands, bnt the floating supply is very large and until this is absorbed by those who have faith in it as an Investment, even at amuch higher range of prices, it will ijrobahly be a favorite with the speculative element and will have to be classed as one of the gambles of the list. Yesterday it declined under short and realizing sales; to-day it recovered on buy ing to cover a lew shorts. Operations were light compared with those of yesterday, and as there must still be quite a number desir ous of recovering the stock sold yesterday the chances favor a continuanco of the up ward reaotion. Aside from Philadelphia Company there was very little feature to the market. Air brake bold at 139 on 'Change and 140 on tne street, and Citizens' tiactlon continued to acquire strength without gaining any more ground: Indeed, it was strong without fully maintaining theadvanceofthe previous day. These two stocks are Al investments, though there may possibly be a little specu lative buying of the latter based on tbe talk of tbe ultimate purchase of the line by the Plttsburg-Duquesne combine. Luster Mining Company gained another small fraction. P. & B. traction was frac tionally better, and in a general way the market displayed comparative stremrth. Philadelphia Company opened at 22 sales, advanced to 22 sales and closed at 2222W; Airbrake sold at 139V, closing atl39Uo; P. & B. traction sold at 25 Electric scrip at 92. and Luster at 8 closing at 88. There was a Xalr Inquiry for Union Switoh and Signal, Central traction, Duquesne traction and Pleasant Valley.. with Central an eighth higher, and Hidalgo and Enter prise Mining Companies come in for more than the usual attention. m The unlisted street railway securities closed as follows: P. & U. traction, 25V I'M: do 6s, 10S103K: Duquesne traction, 29 29k: do 5s 101U10l? P., A. & M. traction, 43 bid; do 63, 1030106 Westinghouse blectric second preferred was quiet at 37K38. At the last call 300 shares Motolina were, offered at 45c per share. Fear of Tight Money Removed. The weakening tendency of exchange, which has been quite decided during the past lew days, has been to the bulls In the stock market one of the most gratifying features of the financial situation. Higher rates for money in New Tork than In Loudon and the continental cities are now attract ing funds to this side a circumstance which removes the fear felt recently about tight money and bankers abroad with connec tions on tbls side are accumu lating big balances In New Tork. Foreign exchange brokers yesterday char acterized the exohange market as particu larly weak. They reported that the supply or bills was more than ample to meet all re quirements of remitters, and it was noticed that the higher rates of money on this side of the Atlantic were inducing sales of ex change because at this season of the year tbe natural tendency is toward lower prices. Cotton bills are coming forward freely, and grain and provision bills are also becoming more plenty, Doth for spot and future de livery. The "World's Wheat Supply. Following are the estimates of the wheat supply of the world, made by the Hungarian Minister of Agriculture, with such correc tions as have been made since that report was issued.

Trade Is Satisfactory and the Demand Is Steadily Increasing -Staples Generally ItnUngin Sellers' Favor-Current 3Iar ket Features and Revised Q notations. "Wednesday, Sept 2L Business in wholesale mercantile lines is moving along satisfactorily, tbe general de mand showing a gradual increase as the season advances. The steady improvement in the industrial situation is one or the leading factors; the Exposition is helping trade somewhat and the decreased fear of a visitation of cholerajs not without a stimu lating effect. Prices of staples have not shown much change thus far this week, but in nearly all lines excepting provisions the advantages are with tbe sellers. As a rule collections are fair. Receipts of peaches to-day wore about 10, 000 packages, whioh.-witb the accumulations of tbe previous day, made the day's supplies the largest of tbe season. Grapes, apples, plums and pears were also in heavy supply. Cold storage eggs are coming out and mas querading as strictly fresh. The abundance of such stock has a tendency to keep tbe price of fresh laid from advancing. Local merchandise brokers were advised from New York to-day of the arrival of new crop currants. Opening quotations, 4c per lb to. b. New York. There has been a serious impairment of the condition of the potatoes, the general average declining from 86.6 August 1 to 74.8 for the September return. Tbls is a better showing than in 1887 and 1890, and slightly better than in 1881, but with these excep tions the September condition of the crop was never before reported as low as 80. A drop of 12 points in a single month is indi cative 01 widespread nnlavorable' condi tions.
