I 'THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1892, 11 .-NEW ENGLAND OFF On Eumors That a Snag Had Been Struck in the Alleged Deal. OTHER SHARES YIELD SOMEWHAT, But an Upward Turn Follows and the Market Closes Strong. EASIER MONEY. ONE OP THE INFLUENCES New Yokk, Oct. 19. A break of nearly two points in New Yort and New England on rumors that a snag bad been struck in the alleged deal with the Boston and Maine bad an adverse influence on the stock mar ket this morning. The bears not only ham mered New England, but used eTery effort to mark down prices for other stocks. The selling for the short account was quite heavy, but outside of New York Central and Northern Pacific the general list yielded only ilo per cent During the after noon the absence of offerings of long stock caused the shorts to feel apprehensive, and as the day drew to a close the desire to cover became general. As a result prices advanced J to 1 from the lowest, and the final quotations aB a rulo were the high est attained. The Granfjers and Manhattan led the upward turn. National linseed oil Jumped 2 to 39 and receded to 37K- Among the. influences operatine in favor ot hleher prices were the easier rates for money near the close, the decline In sterling exchange, the placing of round amounts of railuav bonds in Europe by Drexol, Mor gan & Co., and other leading banking houses on this side, and the heivy tonnage of tlio railroids, which is attested by the traffic re turns of lines West and Soutli. The market closed strong in tone. Railroad bonds were firm and in fair de mand. The sales reached $1,012,000, about an average day's business. Government bonds closed as follows: U.

We do not with to depreciate the strength of the bull party and its power to advance the market further without reaction. If such should be the programme, but we still con less that we think prico3 should sell off be fore buvers can feel sanguine of an imme diate advance. 'The mam interest centered in the loan crowd. Eager borrowers took all offerings at from 6 to 8 per cent, and many houses were boi rowing more than their roqulie ments in order to be quite sure over the coming holidays. We should not bo sur prised to see higher rates to-morrow, and, while we sec no reason to anticipate any great stringency of lunds, unless the market should advance very much further, wo be lieve borrowers will have to face a stiff money market lor the next 60 davs." The following table shows the prices of active stocks on the ew York Stock Exchange, corrected (tally for The PirrtBrno iJisi'jiTcn by Whitney A vtephenson, oldest Pittsburg members of New ork btock Ex change, 57 Fourth avenue: Clos- Open High Low lng Close lug. est. est. l)U.

A drop in the price of wheat to the lowest point yet reached on the crop and low er than known for many years was partly a, result to-day or the World's Fair dedication. Traders who were long seemed afraid to carry their holdings over the holidays and began to liquidate, but there was littlo or no demand, and it was necessary to make constant concessions to find purchasers. The break amounted to lc, from which there was a recovery. Corn is a off. Provisions show a gain of B12Kc Nearly everything seemed to favor the bears in wheat the receipts were heavy, cables weak and domestld markets all tend ing downward. The big deliveries in the Jforthwest were quickly followed by an announcement from BradttrecC that there had been an increase In stocks on both coasts during the past week of nearly 7,250, 000 bushels. Mitchell, who has been a good deal of a bull.'becan buying at the opening, but finding everything against him soon gold out his purchases. Dunn, Logan, Konnett-Hopkins. Milman-Bodman ana Schwartz-Dupee were all free sellers. Shorts teemed confident that they were on the right side and the break seemed to offer little attraction for them to buy In. The opening was about the same as yesterday's closing, prices declined with some fluctua tions, 1&1Kc. Improved e, eased off again, tiiu Closing being $ from the bottom for the dav. The trade is beginning to figure on a 4,500,000 bushels increase in the visible supply next week. In corn the fairer weather was regarded as bearish, as it rendod large receipts prob able and it was further weakened by the slnmpy conditions wbioh ruled in corn and oats. Kecelpts In tbo West again greatly exceeded the shipments. ' Oats were quite active, though weak In sympathy with corn. May declined 36c, but rallied KGK and closed steady. ProvUions came up smiling amid the de jection in tho grain markets. A firmer hog market and buying by the clique were the chief Influences. The advance amounted to 15c for pork, 12o for lard and 7K Ior ribs. The close was 25o from the top. Freights were quiet at 2o for wheat ana 8c for corn to Buffalo.

AflOTHER ADVANCE IN LUSTER. Switch and Signal Strong and Dnquesne a Little Firmer. "WHEELING THE ONLY WEAK GASSER "Wednesday, Oct. 19. The market for local securities to-day was about on a par with that of yesterday, the only difference being that weakness was not quite so general. The trading on 'Change covered Philadelphia Company, Citizens' traction, Pleasant Valley Bail way, Union 8witch .and Signal, Duqueane traction 5s, Allegheny Heating Company, P. & B. traction and Pennsylvania Gas. Of these only Union Switch and Signal Was prominently strong, but the steadiness of Philadelphia Company was very favorably com mented on. The other gassers, with the ex ception of Wheeling, were also steady, the features of the group, perhaps, out side of the steadiness of Philadel phia Company, being a sale ot Allegheny Heating Company at 81 and one of Penn sylvania Gas at it, In the street railway list P. & K, traction and Citizens' traction were fractionally lower, Dnquesne traction was a little firmer and others were steady. Airbrake and Electric second preferred de clined; moro especially the latter; the ask ing price of Pittsburg and Castle Shannon Railroad was dropped H to 1 Luster moved up to 9J10. confliming the intima tion in these oolumns that good support was being offered, and the others wero about steady and unchanged. Sellers were not in such a decided majority as on Tuesday, but there was still a lack of eagerness to buy. During the last call tne bidding and offering indi cated that several hnndred shaies oi Phila delphia Company wero wanted at 21, and that Luster was good for further advance After the close,- however, the latter was offered at 9, with 9 still bid. The princi pal opponent of the.

Mr. Caldwell and the Philadelphia Company are, no doubt, fully competent to take care of them selves, but I submit, in all candor, that the effort of Mr. Wade appears to an unbiased public in very bad taste, to say the least, and prompts the belief that its author had been "caught short" of the stock at, say about 19. Otherwise, why should he go out of his way to print his opinion, based on nothing, that the stock of the Philadel- rhia Company would decline to that figure? s It customary for the cashiers of national banks to give such "pointers" to the dear public without chaigo or other motive? Is It right for them, or any one of them, to attack a leading and prosperous local Industry? Is it not silly not to Bay dangerous to invite such comments by way of reply cm-crimination? Mr. Wade has apparently not yet learned that tne most successful and meritorious among usattrlbuto thelrsuccess fo their ability to attend strictly to their own affairs. Broker. "Biokcr" asks some very pertinent ques tions. All The Dispatch cares to say about them, however, or the statements of Mr. Wade, is that It is not customary for casli ieis of national banks to give "pointers" on anything, and that tiie rise In Philadelphia Company was neither rapid nor manipu lative. It was slow and tedious, as many of the stockholders will readily admit, and based strictly on merit. Xypano's Earnings. A Clevelaud special says: At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio Railroad the President's report showed the gross earn ings of the year to be $7,266,000, an increase of $150,000 over last year. The net income was $2,282,000, an increase of $50,000 over the pre vious year. The net increase applicable to the payment of first mortgage bonds was $993,000, an Increase oi $50,000 over last year. The old Board of Directors was re-elected. The Gold Situation Abroad. ' The great European banks now hold 31,. 522,996 more gold than a year ago. The in crease in the Bank of England is 2,902,993, Bank of France, 4,470,192, Austria-Hungary 5,343,000, and Belgium, 206,677. The Bank of Germany's holdings are smaller by 937, 750, and the Netherlands by 1,388,000. Tho accumulation has been to piovide lor the demand which will come from Austria when the change to the gold standard goes into effect. This demand is expected nt any time, and in connection with the movement to the United States, which cannotlongbedelayed, tho Banks of England, France and Germany are prepared for a serious drain on their stock ot gold. When this begins, there will naturally be an upward movement in rates lor money in London and on the continent. Financial Notes. The direotorsof tho Bankers and Bank Clerks' Association held a meeting this afternoon in the Mechanics National Bank and appointed two committees to nominate officers and directors. The annual meeting will be held the third Monday in November. The stockholders of the Evansville ana Tcrre Haute Railroad Company have unani mously approved of the increase of the cap! tal stock from $3,000,000 to $6,000,000. About 75 per cent ot the entire capital stock was represeutea at me meeting, uiviuencls at the rate of 10 per cent per annum were paid on the old and, it is said, 5 per cent will be paid on the now, stock. , S. S. Pinkerton w as the chief buyer of Philadelphia Company on 'Change to-dav, and W. H. Watt. Hill & Co., and Lawrence & Co. were the sellers." Sprout & Co. sold Citizens' traction to A. A Adams. Sproul & Co. and Caster sold Switch and Signal and Kuhn Bros, bought. The latter also bought P. 4 B. traction from S. Fritz. Allegheny Heating Company passed from T. D. Bailey to J. T. Patteison, and Pennsyl vania Gas from Caster to Kuhn Bros. Ulll & Co. sold Dnquesne traction 5s to Lawrence & Co. The earnings of tho Pittsburg and Western far the second week of October were $49,994, an increase of $2,066. Minister Robert T. Lincoln, who has Just returned from England, believes that there is a sufficiently reasonable prospect of a de parture by England lrom its mono-metallic basis to give hope of some practical steps being taken by the monetary conference for the increased use of silver, and for their adoption by a sufficient number of important powers. ' A dispute has arisen as to whether Friday the 21st Inst, is a legal holiday, or not. Gov ernor Flower and the New York State Attor ney General hold that it is not a legal holi day, while counsel for the Clearing House Association is of the opinion that it is, and that the banks may legally close. But most of tbem will keep open for commercial Saper. The Philadelphia Clearing House anks have decided to close and the Pitts burg Clearing House banks have decided to do likewise. ' One of the encouraging sights or the times, ' says the lmxtligalor.U the advance during the last two months of $70,000,000 in the aggregate value or South American securities on the London 8tock Exchange. The Influence of this on European Investors and speculators can readily be appreciated when the effect of the Baring collapse is recalled. The losses of English Investors in South Amer icans were enormous, and they have not yet fully recovered lrom the shook which the end or 1890 brought with it. We may now hopefully look, for some expression of this changed feeling in greater Interest in American securities, which for safety and stability stand far above most European securities. An active bull speculation here would bring London orders into the market. At auction In Philadelphia yesterday $600 State of Pennsylvania Ss sold at 10 $2,000 P. R.

"Wednesday, Oct 19. Reports from all points regarding general business continue to be highly encouraging, though the Columbus celebration this week is expected to curtail trade for the time being. Merchants are distributing liberal amounts of merchandise to all portions of their territory, the movement in drygoods, boots and shoes, clothing, lumber, hard ware, groceries and provisions being espe cially good. The extept of the trade in dry- goods and kinured lines, says a Western paper, maybe inferied from the fact that many of the cotton and woolen mills cannot fill their orders, though they are kopt running night and day. Another significant fact is the enormous consumption of wool, the sales of which in the three principal markets of the United States for 1&9J to date loot up 247,000,000 pounds an increase of53, 000,000 pounds over the corresponding period in 1891. Wheat had a very weak turn in Chicago to-day, and overwhelming re ceipts are a bearish factor. After tho rush of larmers deliveries is over prices may ad vance, and this is more than probable, as there is a good domestic and foreign demand and India is exporting surprisingly small quantities. As regards corn the present tendency is decidedly boarish. The ciop has matured splendidly, and corn is coming forward with a rush. In lact, there is such an eagerness to Hell both wheat and corn that grain oiocKnuesaie repotted, and the available supply of cars is inadequate to meet the requirements of shippers. Oats is the only cereal that sells at higher, prices than a year ago, ruling prices for wheat, corn and rye being much lower than last year. Pork, lard and ribs are in active de mand by wealthy packers and other capital ists and prices are much higher than a year ago. Grain, Flour and Feed.
