READING'S RISE CULMINATES,
Ent I & N., C, B. & Q., ITop, Whlskj and
Sugar Score Gains.
LACKAWANNA ALSO MOTES UPWARD
New Yoke, Sept 26. The stock mar
ket to-day Btill showed a .narrowing ten
dency, but the reactionary temper of
Saturday had entirely disappeared and the
covering of shorts went on uninterrupted,
though the demand was transferred from
Beading to Northern Pacific preferred and
others. The trading to-day was strictly
professional, but the uniformity of the
upward movement attested the strength of
newly aroused prudence on the part of the
shorts. Northern Pacific preferred was
lifted nearly 2 per cent and other favorites
from to 1J per cent, but with the satis
faction of .the early demand the market
sank again into extreme dullness, relieved
here and there by spurts of activity and
strength among the leaders.
As a rule the opening gains, which ex
tended to per cent, were slowly increased
throughout tne greater portion of the day.
Louisville, Burlington, Distillers and Mis
souri Pacific were most prominent after
Northern Pacific for strength, but late in
the day Sugar was subjected to a short spurt,
which'lifted its price l)i per cent Though
the rise in Beading seems to have culmi
nated, at least for the present, Lackawanna
was advanced among other stocks, which
were stronc. with excellent buying. Same
farther pressure upon Reading was seen In
the late trading, but the market closed quiet
and firm to stiongat above top figures.
There was aeain a wider distribution of
the business done In railroad bonds, and,
while Northern Pacific 5s were still active
and were Joined to-dav by Texas Paciflo
2ds. which contributed 212,000 out of a tot tl
ot f MS5.000, the strength of the market was
not pronounced and even among the in
active issues few changes of note occurred.
A firm temper prevailed throughout, how
ever, and prices are higher generally.
Government bonds were dull and steady.

rather moie bullish. Mr. Keene, who is
working this maiket, promises higher

A BULLISH SENTIMEXT
Prevails on the Chicago Board of Trade,
and Prices Advance.
Chicago, Sept, 26. Wheat opened this
morning at Saturday's closing price, grew
firm, gradually selling up lc, and held much
of the advance. There was not much
in the news that could be regarded
as very bullish, bnt on the contrary
there was a good deal that made
the advance unexpected. Cables were strong
and Liverpool higher, and the Indian ship
ments only 200,000 bushels against 680.0M
bushels the week previous, bnt this was off
set by the big receipts In the Northwest,
J.712 cars, the liberal arrivals at primary
points, the moderate exports from the sea
board and the heavy Increase in the visible
supply, but the sentiment of the trade was
bullish. The other pits were all firm, corn
and provisions being strong and higher, and
this, with the local trade, made shorts dis
posed to cover. There were some breaks on
the way up, but the general feeling was
firm.
Corn was easier at the start on favorable
weather, but soon turned strong on good
local buying and considerable talk or colder
weather withtbe sharp upturn in provisions
and advanoed a large fraction, then eased
off some but held fairly steady.
Hog products started strong, ana for a
time the market showed a buoyant reelln"
but later most of the advance was lost. Elbs
were higher early, shorts bidding Ootober
up to $10, bnt when this spurt was over they
fell to 9 65. The clique who have oontrol of
the October deal allowed a nnmber of shorts
to settle at the advanced prices and sold
some, taking a heavy profit. The market
cosed with an advance or 22Ke tor Ootober
over Saturday's closing prlceaT Pork was
strong at the start; October opened ISo nn
at 10 63, advanced to 110 75, weakened to

GAS AND OTHER SHARES WELL HELD
Monday, Sept. 26.
The tone of the speculative markets East
and West to-day was more bullish than
otherwise, though no pronounced demon
stration was made by tbe contingency in
favor of higher prices and the day's opera
tions resulted in few marked gains. London
was prominent on the haying side on the
New York Exchange, hat the shorts were
the most active buyers and they went to
such lengths that they were thought to
have pretty nearly covered their
lines ' in many of the leading
shares. Mr. Keeneswas conspicuously in
control of the market, however, and, despite
the elimination of a good percentage of the
short interest, his utterances wore bullish
and he confidently prediotedhlKher prices.
On the Chicago Board of Trade the week
opened with a steady to strong tone preva
lent and with the indications promising im
provement in both trading and prices.
On the Local Board.
Trading in local stocks opened dnll
and closed moderately active. The
strength apparent at Saturday's close
not only held without Impairment
over Sunday but became more
marked as the day wore away, and was
most noticeable in the final dealings, beipg
partially reflected in gains ofmnreorles
consequence In a nnmber of the leading
shares. The stocks traded in on 'Change
weieP. & B. traction, Philadelphia Com

Dividends and Interest.
As foreshadowed in these columns the
directors of tho Westinghouse Airorake
Company have declared tho regular divi
dend of 5 per cent and a special dividend of
5 per cent, both payable to stockholders of
record October 10. Transfer books will
close October 1 and reopen October 1L
The Standaid Undergiound Cable Com
pany announces the regular qnartrly
dividend of 1J per cent, paj ablo October 15.
Transfer books will close October 10 and re
open October 16.
The Chartiers Eailway Company has de
claiod a semi-annual dividend of 4 per cent,
payable on and after October 1.
The coupons of the Pittsburg, Akron and
Western Railroad first mortgage gold bonds
due October 1 will be paid on and after that
date at the German National Bank of Pitts
burg. It was stated on 'Change during the last
call that P. & B. traction would pay a divi
dend of i per cent next month.
Why Bank Deposits Decrease.
The New York Evening Post explains the
important changes in the recent statements
of the New York associated banks as fol
lows: "Since the last bank statement of Au
gust the deposit account oi the associated
banks has decieased $38,500,000, and the loan
account, which naturally follows the move
ment of deposits, has fallen off $24,000,000.
Taken in conneotion with the westwaid
shipment of currency, people havo been
hle.iping to tbe conclusion tnut the supply
oi loanauie iuuus in .now xorK is ueing
heavily contracted. But nothing of tbe kind
is true. A glancp at any of the last lour
bank statements will show how very far the
week's total inteiior shipments of currenoy
failed to account for the total shrinkage in
deposit. Last week, for instance, when in
teiior shipments barely exceeded a million
dollars, deposits fell off more than $ 11,090,000.
Tbe tact is that the bulk of this money
withdrawn lrom the clearing house banks
has not been withdrawn from New York at
all. Most of the decrease came f i om the
calling in by trust companies of their own
bank deposits. The purpose or suoh with
drawal by tho trust companies was of
couise to lend out the money themselves at
a higher rate, of interest."
London Bays Pcnsy.
The Philadelphia StockJiolder says: It now
transpires that of the Pennsylvania' shares
purchased in the local board during the past
week, with the result of advancing the mar
ket price about 2 per cent, a considerable
amount was taken for English account. The
Incident is probably one of the effects of the
impiession President Boborts made abroad.
lt furnishes another refutation of the charges
made by the enemies of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, that the English holders
of the company's securities are dissatisfied.
The shares are now in tbe open mai ket
commanding a price equivalent to a frac
tion above the last quotation for those of
tbe New York Central.

Gialn was firmer on the local board to-day,
but no radical prico changes were estab
lished. The past week has been generally favor
able for tne corn crop. In some 1 egions the
ripening process has been slow, but for the
most part has been encouraging: The light
frosts of last week in vai ions localities wero
not harmful to the cron, but generally calcu
lated to quicken the ripening nnd to improve
the condition with rofcrenco to possible
severe irosts a little later on. Taken alto
gether, it has been a good week for the corn
crop, nn,d the average position is moro secure
and assui ing, without furnishing elements
favoring enlarged estimates of yield. -It is
evident that a large proportion of the corn
crop 01 tne iv est is now practically secure
from injniy from frosts, or neatly so.
Becent rains over a large area in the West
have beon favorable to the Incoming wheat
crop, facilitating the completion of plowing
and seeding, nnd germination where seed
ing has been accomplished. In many places
tho early seeding already shons growth.
The crop has a good start. It is noticeable
that the Southern rjortlon of the nnrlnff
wheat belt Is giving increasing attention to
autumn Buying, nnuer tne encouraging re
sults of lecontyeaisln tbis particular.

trating the condition of tne market, the best

COL, SHEfiD'S WILL questioned.
His Daughter Says if He Loft One, It Was
Gotten From Him by Design.
Omaha, Sept. 26. The question as to who
is entitled to the property of Colonel Ebea
C. Smeed, the well-known Union Pacific en
gineer who diod August 24 in Philadelphia,
is raised m tho county court. Mrs. Jeannetta
R. Nichols was present when he died,
and afterward followed tho re
mains to Kansas, where they were
Interred. It win reported that the Colonel
bad left his property to Mrs. Nichols and
had cut off hl daughter, Mrs. Kate Smeed
Cro-s, of Kmporm, Kan., without a shilling.
The daughter or the departed railroad man
has filed a petition In the Probate Court of
Douglass county, in which she alleges that
when Eben C Smeed dld he bad personal
Sroperty of the value of $12,000 located in
ouglass county; that she was his daughter
and only heir at-Iaw, and that when he died
he Iert no will by which his property was
bequeated to any person.
The petitioner further alleges that since
the death or her lather a Mrs. Jeannette B.
Nichols has appeared on the scene, claiming
to bold a will which was executed by tbe
late Colonel Smeed during bis life, in which
she is the beneficiary. The petition further
alleges that Mrs, Nichols was a designing
woman, and that if she holds a will lt was
secured through tbo influence of ber de
signs practiced npon the deceased jnst prior
to his death, .-.ud therefore is not a will
which could be considered in any court.
Jndge Eiler has placed the petition on flla
and has cited Mrs. Nichols to appear Sep
tember 30 tn answer the petition, and to
bring her will to court.
