Lackawanna Fliows a Loss of One Ter Cent at the Close. EAILKOAD BONDS DULL AKD STRONG KEW YOKE, Sept. 27. The stock market displayed considerable irregularity in its movements to-day, but the changes of note were confined to a few stocks which the general list followed at a distance. The clique in Northern Pacifio suffered the stcck to drop heavily this morning, but Beading was stronger, the shorts in Mis souri Pacific had their turn and Colorado Coal was moved up sharply for a time. There was a sudden and sharp upward spurt in Xew England, which rapidly rose from 37 to 3S. The effect was to check the buving, which had been liberal in the fore noon on part ot tne speculators, and the market subsided into dullness throughout the remainder of the day. In the late dealings there was an un doubted efiort by the sellers of yesterday to recover the Beading stock put out, and the strength imparted bv these purchases to the rest of the list rallied some ot the more prominent shares. The general list, after a strong opening at fractional advances, lurther adtanced in the early trading, but the declining tend ency ot the rest of the day effectually neutralized these gains, and at the close prices were irregularly changed, but were generally within the smallest fractions of last night's figures. The close, however, notwithstanding the rally, was rather heavy In tone. Lackawanna shows a loss of 1 per cent, but Colorado Coal is up 1 and Read ing 1 per cent, with largo fractional gains in other shares. Bailroad bonds were again quiet within narrow limits, and, w hile displaying a firm temper under tho demand for the better class of bonds, developed no activity and small chances aro the rulo. Beading 3ds, liow ever, rose 1 to 6. The sales were Just $1,000,000. Government bonds were dull and steady.

"The best selling to-day was in C.B.& Q., intihich about 4,000 shares ot long stock were marketed. The report for August is expected to-morrow or next day, and if it shows up as well ns the corresponding one of last rear it may be considered as favor able. The bulls promise a couple of hundred thousand inciease, but we think In this they ill be disappointed. 'New York and New England loomed again Into prominence on the story of closer relation with tho New Haven road, but we think a misunderstanding arises Imm the lact that General Manager Mellon has re signed from the New England and will be one of the Vice Presidents of the New Haven.

TVlieat and Corn Close Strong and Oats and Provisions TVcak. Chicago, Sept. 27. It was a see-saw on 'Change to-day. After weakening early the markets for wheat and corn became broad and strong at the windup. The closing firm ness in wheat was due largely to the report of a very heavy export demand. Corn rallied chiefly on the poor showing of the Iowa crop report and the liberal irelght en gagements reported here, vessels having been chartered for 559,000 bushels. Com pared with last night, wheat, notwithstand ing the late recovery, shows fie decline, com has a gain of fc, and provisions aro a shade easier. There were a few ontside buying orders In wheat at the strrt, and, with stronger cables and little for sale, the market showed some strength. But when these orders had been Jlllod trade became slack, and then the many bearish features of the situation be gan to be felt. The receipts in the North uest were again large 1,037 cars, against 933 cars for the same day last year and tho amount received at the primary points footed np 1,073 000 bushels against 1,413.000 bushels a year ago. Liberal world's tdilu ments last week, and the Immense move ment from Russia, with considerable realiz ing and short selling, resulted In the weak ness noted. New Tort messages reported fresh cholera casos in quarantine, and the estimate or C56 cars for ednesday increased the depression. During the last hour the market tut ned Tery strong on much higher cables and a report that French operators were buying wheat in this country. A Min neapolis message said wheat In the North west was not threshing out as expected. At tention was directed to-d iy to the small proportion of the contract grade In the dally receipts. The proportion deliverable upon contract being received here dally is about tl carloads in 100. Corn Was quiet. Tho absence of frost anci tho favorable weather Tor the crop started prices off same, but there was some reaction later on the good demand which sprang up, presumably to cover shorts. The low a crop report which placed the yield of corn In that State at only 175.000,000 bushels against 850.000,000 bushels last year, turned prices up some during the last hour. The course of wheat probably helped corn somo also. An othor factor was the possibility of a freeze. The Burlington reports a greatly Increased demand for cars. The withdrawals of corn nre heavy. Tho Inspection fr tho day was 1S3.000 bushels. This largely ipunteraots the effect of the great receipts. In oats the feature was the free selling of October by longs and the demand being light the price receded o and closed at nearly the bottom. Hog products were generally weak and loner. Closing prices show a decline or from 2c to Be In porkand from 2Kc to 10c in ribs. l.ard closed unchanged tor October and TKc lower lor January. Shippers were inquiring for vessel room more freely.

Fractional Advances in Underground Cable i and Electric Stocks. LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS Tuesday, Sept. 27. There was fair trading in local securities on 'Change and on the street to-day, but the market, while strong, lacked snap and was barren of specially noteworthy features. None of the brokers or traders, however, complained of dullness. On the contrary, all of them spoken to on the subject noted an increasing inquiry and a fair amount of business in hand. They admitted a lack ot urgency in mos"t directions and a disposi tion to hold ofl awhile in others, which gave the market a dull ' and lethargio look, but they offered no satisfac tory explanation of the why and where fore. The reason probably is that the market Is in the shadow of the approaching ?;uarterly settlement period, preparations or w hie ti have been in progress for a week past. Alter the torn of the month, when accounts ha,ve been evened up and divi dends and interest paid, the market lor stocks and bonds will undoubtedly take on new lite and show moro or less activity and strength throughout the remainder of the year.

Monongahela Navigation Company. Rumors were current to-day to the effect that the Supreme Court's decision in the matter of the value or the Monongahela Navigation Company's property and fran chise bad been, or would be, favorable to the company. Some color was given these rumors Dy the withdrawal of stock from the market and a sharp advance In the selling price set a short time since.

The company owns 27 locomotives and 1,531 cars, and is constantly adding to Its equipment. The company has no car trust anu no con struction account, except for road in,pro cess of construction. National Lead Company. Tho company has over $1,000,000 in cash, moro than $7,600,000 worth of supplies on hand and bills leceivable, nnd this with its real estate, machinery, patents, etc., make its total piesent cash value precious near $25 000,000. Take the $15,000,000 preferred at par and the $15,000,000 common at $60, the total valuation of the property wonld be $24,000,000, while its power to earn interest would be on at least its full $30,000,000 capi tal stock. The common stock will get a dividend before many months or else the cash will be employed in a way sure to give big returns. In industrials, more possibly, than in railroads, the profits of the business are dne to the skill, integrity and ability of the management. It isnot flattery to say that Colonel w. P. Thompson, who directs the Lead Company, and who is probably' its largest stockholder, possesses all these qualities. Wo regard the preferred stock as safe beyond peradventnrc, and the common stock is steadily increasing In intrinsio value, which will tell upon its market price later if not at once. watxmdc Gibson.

CORJTIS LOWER, Cheese and Vegetables Are Firmer,F.ggs and Poultry In Better Demand, Groceries and Provisions Steady, and Others Un changedA Satisfactory Business Pass ing. Tuesday, Sept. 27. Operations in local wholesale mercantile lines are being conducted on a fairly liberal scale, the movement to dependent sections being particularly satisfactory; bnt, while merchants generally are satisfied with the business passing they assert that there is still a little room for improvement. The tendency of prices is in favor of sellers. There are exceptions, of course, but where prices are low the indications point to the fact that rock bottom has been touched. Collections aro fair. Corn Is selling at lower prices than a year ago despite the smaller crop. The crop is late, but the weather recently has been splendid for the growing corn, and tho bulk ofthecropis now safe from frost. While the crop is not equal in size to last year, it is still a rouscr, and there will be an abund ance both for feeding stock und for market ing. Europeans are learningtonse onrcorn for makin ' various forms of Dread and pud ding, but as yet this consumption is hardly largo enough to cut much of a figure. Oats are higher than a ycaragn, owing to the smaller crop and a good demand. In pro visions the interest centers in tho corner in short rib sides. Prices havo advanced sharply, and the parties wot king the deal are making enormous profits. A plant for n beet-sugar refinery that will turn out 5,000,000ponndsof granulatod sugar annually Is being erected at Leavonwnrth, Kan. The manufacturers will pay $4 50 per ton for beets delivered at the factory. Cheese Is firmer and higher prices are probable The September mako of cheese will be nn tho market the last or this week or the first of next, nnd will command nn advance of o per ft over presont quota tions. New crop chestnuts are in the market at 2022c per ft. roultry is receiving moro attention as tho season advances and the market is steady to firm at quotations. Dressed stock is coming forward rather freely, hut livo still has the calL Eggsnroln better demand, but supplies are liberal and prices remain unchanged. Vegetables aro firmer, coinli lower, sweet potatoes are higher, provi'ions nre steady, giocerles aro generally firm and others feat ureless. Grain, Flour and Feed.
