FOREIGNERS OPERATIKQ II6HTLT New York, Dec. 1. The slock market was weak in spots again to-day, the bears renewing their efforts to bring out long stocks on probable exports of gold by Sat urday's steamers and the serious illness of Jay Gould. Holders, however, did not appear to be alarmed by eitber of these matters, and the result was that outside of two or three instances no net declines worth mentioning were recorded. At in tervals during the afternoon speculation displayed Qeotded strength, but near the close the bears made another onslaught and marked Northern Pacific prelerred, Mis souri Pacific, Chicago Gas and Onion Pacific down to the lowest figures of the day. In the final trading there was a rally and the market left off firm. Taken together the bearish demonstra tions were less effective than .yesterday and the smaller Bliorts displayed some uneasi ness. The operations for foreign account were on too small a scale to influence prices materially one way or the other. The total sales or bonds were $L367,'O00. The New Tork Evening Post says: The market showed a (rre.it deal of strength, outside, at least, or the Gould stocks, where the band of anticipatory mourners were gathered again. But the motive assigned for the buying was childish. It was a sud den belief that the whole situation in ster ling exchange had reversed Itself, and that nothing more would be beard of gold ex ports. Little of all this could have been confirmed In the sterling market, tne only basis for the stones being a returning stag nation in exchange. It is bard to tell about the gold shipments on Saturday, but we think about $1,500,000 will cover the amount. The bankers will delay shipments as muoh as possible, uo as not to produce a bad effect. The marKet to day has been a disappointment, as it did not rally, but still we look for good trading. In which stocks can be bought on weak spots aud sold on rallies. It must not be overlooked that the trunk lines have made rapid progress toward a blind pool and some of the Western roads are beginning to look in the same direction. J. S.

Chicago, Dec L The surrender of the name of the big provision bull, John Cudahy. as a seller of Hay wheat above 73c took the vim out of the grain pits this afternoon. The market didn't recover mnch even when en couraged by the foreign markets, all closing firm, and the May wheat option here left off with a bare l-16c added to last night's value. Corn shows a decline of c Provisions -were strong, however, from start to finish. Pork Is np 85c, lard ITJJc and ribs 20c. While wheat started at abont the closing figures yesterday the feeling qulokly turned strong and there was a steady advance, though cables were easier, the receipts In the Northwest again large and both tele graph and mail advices from aoroad very discouraging. Stocks of wheat in Liverpool were reported 3,500.000 bu&bels larger than a rear ago. Russia w as said to have 100.000, COb bushels for export and the outlook for all European crops was said to be very flat tering. In addition to this the dellvcries-on December contracts were llberal.amounting to irom 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 bnshels. Uu't a rumor was abroad that Cudahy was again buying, that Pardrldge bad covered consid erably and that several large operators had bought round lots fbrlnrestment. Another strengthening factor was the statement made by the Cincinnati JMee Current that there was now available for export only 76, 000 000 bushels. This statement was by no msans new. but It had ajl the effect ofa re cent discovery and scared the shorts. Later, however, the market lost over He of the a gain The close was steady. The deliveries or wheat to-day wbllfl apparently heavy were.it Is said, so arranged as to appear xnucb more than they were in reality. The corn market was helped early by the strength of the wheat market. It broke later when wheat began to give sins of a sinking tendency, but recovered a little toward the close. In oats the elevator men bought the cur rent month and told the deterred delivery! Armour alone changingabout800,000bnshels. New York also did some changing. The hog receiDts were 39,000 bead, instead of 36,000 Head, as estimated yesterday, and estimates lor to-morrow are for only 23,000 head. These figures and buying by the Cud aby following put prices up in the provision pit and kept them np. The week's packing in the West, Recording to the Price Currtnt, was only 300.-000 hogs, against 335,000 a year ago, The hog receipts for the month of I. ovember at Chicago were only 646,000 head, compared with 1,008,000 for November, 189L January pork made Its principal gain with the very first sale, opening exactly SOo higher than It closed last night.

Other ELares Quiet, With the General Tone a Weak One. LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS Thursday, Dec. 1. 'The break in Philadelphia Company yes terday was followed by a reaction to-day. The stock was well supported from the opening, and under the demand which pre vailed throughout the day the lots of .Wednesday was fully recovered. It opened at 1914 sales, sold down to 195. up to 19J4, back to 19Jf, up to 20$, and closed at 20J 2034, with the general sentiment indicative of a farther recovery. The compromise is generally being accepted as a bull card notwithstanding its terms are still matters of mere conjecture as it means that the gas company will no longer be tied up to a losing contract, and that the enormous amount of gas it hag been furnishing the Lawrenceville mills for practically little more than nothing can now be diverted to more remunerative sources if the Carnegie concerns do not want it at the company's price Some time azo ft was intimated that the Philadelphia Company was "pinching" the supply In order to make it appear that It did not have the gas with which to fulfill their contraotwitb the Carnegie mills. If there was any basis for snob an intimation it shonldnow develop In the shape of a largely increased pressure In the mains, even should the mills mentioned continue to patronize the company. It is likely, how ever, that an inoreaeed pressure can now be witnessed, as the usual summer and fall contracts with a nnmber of manufacturing establishments expired yesterday. The court records to-day showed that the cross snits bad Been discontinued, thus proving the truth of the reported compro mise; but the parties to it aver that the terms have not yet been correctly stated, and continue to refuse all information there anent. It i generally believed and accepted as satisfactory, however, that the Philadel phia, Company gets rid or the contract and also gets about 150,000. The court records say that the suits wore discontinued, with the costs pajable by the Carnegie interests. Beyond the trading in and course of Phila delphia Company there was very little In the market. There was a sale of Central traction between calls at 29, the stock clos ing at 29& asked. The general tone or the market was a weak one. Citizens traction 5s were quoted at 108 bid and Pittsburg traction 5s at 104 bid.

Talk was 'heard to-day to the effect that the plate glass manufacturers throughout the country bad about concluded to com bine their interests. A well-attended meet ing of people was recently held in this city, at which the tratter was rather exhaustive ly discussed, but no definite conclusion was arrived at. It was stated to-day, however, that it had since been determined that the trade had reached such a condition that a combination of interests was absolutely necessary, and that It would probably be effected in the near future.

At a special meeting of the Board of Man agers of the Grain and Flou- Exchange to consider the anti-option measures now pending in Congress, and which will doubt less De considered during the coming ses sion, it was found to be the opinion of the board that the enaction of any such legisla tion would be injurious to trade,disorganlze methods which have existed for 30 years or more and depress prices of nenly all com modities. The senie of the board was em bodied in a paper which will be presented to the Exchange, and If itmeets with approval it will be- forwarded to Washington to be nsed by the opposition to the Hatch bill. The principal points of the paper are as fol lows: "The seller of futures Is the offspring of the modern facilities for transacting busi ness. It is only in a highly equipped market, with its crop reports, its telegraph systems, banks, brokers and railioads that lie could live, and a market so highly organized could not exist without him. If the buyer helps the tanner, the seller helps the consumer, and In the world of trnlfic the bread eater is as good a man as the bread producer. It Is a stubborn faot that in determining prices on the boards of trade and exohanges both sides must be repre sented. There cannot be cash sellers with out cash buyers; there cannot be sellers of futures without buyers of futures; there cannot be prices made and crops raised and mowed without both, and without all these there could be neither boards or trade nor stock exchanges." The board of managers do not believe that business or any kind is in need of any kind of legislation. Financial Notes.

LOWER PEICE3 For Pig Iron as the Result of Southern Efforts to Push Sales. New YoRK,Dec L Fpectal. The Iron Age says: Under the leadership of Borne of the Southern iron companies an effort is being made to push sales. 1 he result Is a weaker tendency in the principal market for their product, Cincinnati, reflected by a lowering in quotations in Chicago and New York. Thus far these attempts have not led to the marketing of any large lines of pig iron, but prices are quotably lower, the decline amounting to abont 25c a tpn. The reap pearance of the sellois at bo early A time after -the movement to secure an advance ls not regarded as an encouraging sign. The billet market has remained in much the same condition as has characterized it lately. The reports of low prices for early delivery are being confirmed, and has had their effect upon the Chicago and the Eastern markets. Chicago is the only market which reports the closing of any large deals at cut rates for structural material. Plates are dull. Bars are weaker and merchant steel burs and other shapes are selling at low prices. with the marKec in iavor oi tne uujer. Lead and spelter are drooping steadily. Tin plates are quiet. . The Situation Abroad. New York, Dec. L Special. A special cable to the Iron Age says: Operations in pig iron warrants have been on a moderate scale and the several branches of the market re main bare of distinctly new or.interesting features.' On price of Scotch there .has been an improvement to 41s 9d,(but Cleveland has remained at 37s and Hematites eased off to 46s 3d. In Scotch there lias been some trad ing between regular operators, while scarcely any orders come Irom outside sources. Cleve land shipments in November were the largest for any month this year, but that fact bas little weight since the conditions existlug in the manufactured iron and steel trarf ,r nnnromisinsr. The lanrer steel mills are running on half time and compe tition is very keen. Pig tin prices havo dropped 12s 6d and the market has been dull at the decline. The tin plate market is quieter, dealers being shy or futures. The American demand in particular is quieter. Drygoods. Nrw York. Dec 1 The demand for dry goods was sustained on the scale or fair ac tivity, with prices ot cottons still on the ad vance. A good many offers were declined, becanseorthe extent to which the goods are already sold and the difficulty appre hended of making any seasonable deliveries. tu-.- .!...

COMPOUND LARD HIGHER, But Otherwise the Markets Remain Firm and Unchanged Poultry Doing aLittlo Belter Fresh Eggs Scarce Current Trade Notes. Tnur-SDAY, Dec 1. Business was qnite active in a general way to-day; orders by mail being particu larly good, as usual to the first day of a month; but the markets were featureless, so far as material price changes were con cerned, tbe only one being an advance of ic per lb in compound lard. Qratn and feed continued to show strength, and in flour circles it was said that an early ad vance in standard brands was a probability. Giocerles were reportod strong and active, nnd, indeed, all the markets were quoted more or less In sellers fAvor. Poultry is doing a little better, but tur keys continue to move slowly at low prices. The egg market is firm and unchanged at quotations. Fresh eggs are hard to get at any price. Raisins and kindred articles are in very active demand for the holiday season. The movement in candies is also quite liberal. The receipts of foreign potatoes at New York irom Ootdber 1 to November 26 wore 21,333 sacks, against 2,357 sacks for the cor responding time in 1891. The Ontario ciop report says that the orop or winter wheat wasery rlne, averaging 21 bnshels peracre. hprinir wheat turned out very poorly, yielding only 13 bushels per aero. Barlev was under the average in jield and quality. Oats, although 10,000,000 bushels le33 than the previous year, were over the average. The Daily Trade Bulletin of Chicago says: "There is only a limited movement in the wool market. Some of the recent sales have been at small concessions from previous asking prices, and yet there has not been suflloieut done to establish any material change. Manufacturers aro buying only sparingly. It is the time of the year when tney close down for a time in order to over haul their machinery. This year there is a disposition to hold off to see what effect, if any, the chango in the political complexion ot the country is going to have. Holders are not pressing stocks for sale, for the quantity ot wool on hand ls rather small." Grain, Flonr ana Feed. No sales occurred on call at the Grain and Flour Exchange to-day.
