THE " PnTBBUKG M LIFE IN LOCALS. Trading Very Light at the Calls and Changes Unimportant. GAS SHARES AND INDUSTRIALS Lead in Toint of Strength and Tractions in Point of Weakness. LCCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS Monday, Oct. 10. The financial ontlook in New York was bearish again to-day from a Stock Ex change point oi view, the bulk ot the busi ness being done at 67 per cent, with the closing rate 5 per cent. The market was steady to strong, however, under the lead of such shares as Chicago Gas, Distillers and others which are beinr; manip ulated by the Kecne-Wormser clique. There was a rumor current that the Pennsylvania had advanced rates and given other indications of a cessation of hos tilities against the Heading and its allies, but, while gorae color was given the rumor by an advance in the latter, the street failed to find any one in authority who would confirm it. The general market ruled fairly bullish and closed well up despito the close working of monoy. On the Chicago Board ot Trade a compar atively strong sentimentpercolated through the pits, without resulting in any material price changes. The Local Situation. Quietude was the chief characteristic of the Home market for stocks and bonds, the movement on 'chanjo being qulto as cir cumscribed as at any time during tho past midsummer period. Prices weie well sustained, notwithstanding tho dull ness, and this was consideted a very encouraging foature. Regard ing the immediate future of the maikct opinions wero somewhat divergent. Somo or tho sttcet people took the position that a dull aud featureless market until after tho election was probable. Others contended tint trading would be good but irregular until nftor existing street railway meetings andpioblems had been held and solved; and othors expressed the opinion that tho le- Sortsof tight money from tho East wrould ea deterrent factor as long as received. The market has been a peculiar one for sev eral eeks past in the respect that it has shown tho gientest activity immodiatoly aftor a fit of deathly dullness. The extreme of dullness was witnessed to-day. Tho ex treme of animation may bo witnessed to morrow. Tho onlv items traded in wero Duciuesno traction stock and bonds. Luster Mining Company, Union Switch aud Signal and P., A. & 51. traction bonds, tho onlv features developod by the trading being a continued softening tendency in Duqunsne traction and a slightly firmer tone in Union Switch and Signal.

This was after deducting all general and extraordinary ex penses. Tho lollowlngis from the Boston -rfefrer-tistr. "The decision, it will bo lemembered, was in favor of the Edison Companv. Tho General Electric Company owns the Edison Company In the foi in of stock, but does not own its assets, the two never having become nmalanmatcd or thoroughly consolidated. Tho Edison Companv must be kept alive as a distinct corporation in order to take advantage of these suits. Hence it is good ODlnion that the directors, who have, been holding sessions lor several days past, will probably vote not to ask damages from the other companies who bao been mfiiugiug, lor the minute tho General Electric Companv attempts to col lect theso damages the Edison will have to show the Court that it is a corporation. The minute tboy do that the General Liectriu becomes a trust, and rnns up ngnlnst the anti-trust law. A man prpttv well posted in electric matters says that if $75,000 tn cash was offered to tho dliectors ot the General Eloctiie Company in Hon for all damages which they expect to collect from compa nies that have been usin the Edison lamp, it would not take them 15 minutes to accept the offer."
