KCBANTON TRIBUNE-WEDNESDAY MOIININO. NOVEMBER 28, 1894.
Industrial and
MINE, MILL AND RAILROAD.
It was officially announced on Mon
day tha t the steel rail pool nan been or
ganized for 1895. The meeting at which
this was accomplished was held on
Wednesday and Thursday of last week
and wa attended by every manufac
turer of rails' in the country. It was
decided to fix the price of steel rails
for 1895 at $22, a reduction of $2 from
the present .price. All rails weighing
above forty-five pounds to the yard are
to be considered standard Bectlons,
whereas the limit this year is fifty
pounds. Street girder rails will be sold
at $24. Those who were present at the
meeting declare that the feeling In
favor of harmonious co-operation In the
trade next year was more pronounced
than at any meeting held In recent
years. It was the universal Judgment,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer, that the
orders for rails next year will be con
siderably larger than this. The meet
ing developed one point and that Is that
the steel manufacturers of the country
will not see their business sacrificed the
coming year. Prices are already down
to bed rock and might have gone lower
but for the determination of the steel
pool to hold rigidly to the new prices.
Inasmuch as the prices of several forms
of steel products are based upon the
price of steel rails, the agreement will
be far reaching In Its effects.
The anthracite coal trade, says the
Philadelphia Stockholder, Is in a wait
ing condition, as the trade will make
no extensive purchases jintil there is
some definite direction as to prices out
lined. As it Is now, there Is no telling
whether the course will be upward,
downward or steady on the present
basis. This doubt must be removed be
fore any permanent Improvement In the
market occurs, and It remains for a
cold spell to create activity in the trade,
or some emphatic favorable action by
the shippers themselves. It Is a well
known faqt that they have grown
weary losing money In such a useless
contention as has been waged, and it can
be stated authoritatively that they all
long for a satisfactory readjustment of
existing differences. Exactly on what
basis the effort will be made to accom
plish this Is not known to a certainty,
but it is believed another trial will be
given to the restrictive policy which
has been so long In force. As an Indi
cation that this Btep will be taken, the
announcement Is made that the Head
ing collieries will be closed tonight, and
will not resume operations before next
Monday, If then. It is usual when a
holiday comes late in the week to sus
pend operations until the following
Monday; but In the present condition
of the trade the Bhut-down is signifi
cant, foreshadowing a revival of the
old policy. It Is understood that the
other producing companies will also sus
pend operations for the same period.
Speaking of a probable contest for
control and a demand for the stock lists
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad company,
an official says that the stock list has
not yet been prepared, and will not be
for some time, as the transfer books
only closed Nov. 15. So far as he can
Judge, he thinks .the number of share
holders is about the same as last year
about 8,000. The bulk of the stock Is
held in Philadelphia and New York,
and the foreign holdings amount to less
than 20,000 shares. No large blocks of
the stock have changed hands of late,
and he does not believe that any organ
ized opposition to the Wilbur, manage
ment will develop. .
At the meeting of the stockholders of
the New York, Lake Kile and Western
Railroad company in New York yester
day the old board of directors was
re-elected. 13. H. Harrlman, represent
ing the Erie protective committee, crit
icised the annual report. He was re
fused any explanation by the receivers.
New York, Nov. 27. The anthracite
coal sales agents today voted to make
the December allotment 2,500,000 tons.
Tidewater prices were advanced to
$3.75 for stove, $3.60 for egg and chest
nut and $3.50 for grate. The ngenls,
up to a late hour, were still In session
considering prices.
MINOR INDUSTRIAL NOTES:
The agreement entered into between
the Trunk lines and the Central Trafllc
associations for the dispensing of com
missions will take effect Dec. 15
All the companies are shipping all the
coal they possibly can, and the Lacka
wanna will continue to rush, coal to the
West until the close of navigation.
Navigation on the Delaware and Hud
son canal between Honesdale and Rond
out will close for the season this week.
The last boats were loaded at the Hones
dale docks on Saturday.
The transfer books of the Lehigh Val
ley railroad closed Nov. 15, and the work
of preparing for the annual election has
commenced. The number of stockhold
ers are about 8,000, and few hold more
than fifty shares. This stock being al
ways held for Investments It is widely
distributed. ,
The anthracite coal interests In Phila
delphia, says the Times, are very much
inclined to believe that the situation has
bettered since the railroad presidents
held their meeting last week. They
claim that the moral Influence which
will be the result of such a gathering
will prevent further demoralization and
may bring about a correction of exist
Ing abuses.
The Reading railroad reports Its coal
tonnage for the week ending Nov. 17 at
327, SCO tons, an Increase of 25,000 tons
over t)ie corresponding week last year.
. Total tonnage for the year to Nov. 17
was 11,879,036 tons, a decrease of 843,453
tons from last year. The total ship
ments of anthracite for the week end
lng Nov. 17 were 1,048,418 tons, an In
crease of 220,325 tons or 26.6 per cent,

pared with 16,160,856 tons In the corre
sponding period of 1893, a decrease of

STOCKS AND BONDS.
By the United Press.
New York, Nov. 27. During the morn
ing hours speculation at the Stock Ex
change was practically at a standstill,
except for Erie and Northwest, wlhlch
were affected by. special causes. Erie
was pressed for Sale on the general be
lief that the statement for the year
would be unfavorable and Northwest
was Inclined to weakness because of
sales by professional traders and others
who were confident that the dividend
would have to be reduced. Subsequent
events proved the correctness of both
the stories. Just previous to 12.30, the
time agreed upon for the announcement
of the Northwest dividend, brokers
gathered around the chairman and
everybody was on the anxious bench.
A rumor was then got afloat that the
regular rate had been declared. This
started a nervous short Into covering,
and the purchases for this account led
to a rise from 96 to 99. Burlington
and Qulncy, St. Paul and other stocks,
which are heavily oversold, also moved
up at this time.s Then came the official
announcement of the declaration of l?i
per cent, quarterly on the preferred and
2'4 per cent, semi-annually on the com
mon, the latter a reduction of i per
oent. for the six months.
Many brokers misunderstood the
chairman and thinking that the com
mon dividend had been reduced to l,
sold the stock. They quickly realized
their mistake and bought back the
stock. As a result the common recov
ered to 98; St. Paul, in the meantime,
sold down to 58; Rock Island to 01 Vt.
and Burlington to 70. Sugar moved up
from 87 to 89; Lackawanna from 158
to 160M;; Delaware and Hudson, 127 to
129V4; Reading from 15 to 16; Man
hattan from 105 to 106. The upward
movement was stimulated by rumors
that anthracite coal companies hod de
cided to reduce the output for Decem
ber and restore prices of coal. Erie was
heavy throughout and sold down to 10,
with a rally to 11. The arfnual report
was very unfavorable, showing a deficit
of $1,167,407. Speculation closed strong
with inactive issues anywhere from Vs
to 2'itc. higher than on yesterday.
Northwest gained ; New York Cen
tral lost ; Northern Pacific preferred
, and Erie 1. Sules were 150,000.

About 5.30 Monday evening an ncei
dbiit occurred In No. 2 shaft of the Hill
side company In which three persons
met with Injury. The small electric
motor was returning to its place for the
nlg'ht, and riding on it were the switch
boy, John Smith, aged 15 years, and liv
ing on Hudson street, and two Slavs,
John Dlko and Peter Sproke, when the
larger electric motor backed up a trip
of empty cars, the smaller motor and
the cars coming together with terrific
force. John Smith received the worst
Injury, having his leg smashed so badly,
that after a careful examination by Dr.
Dvvyer and Dr. Hlukeslee, It was decid
ed that amputation would be necessary.
The operation was skilfully done by
Dr. Dwyer, assisted by Dr. Blakcslce.
The little follow survived the ordeal and
was resting easily yesterday. Dlko re
ceived a flesh wound on the leg and
Sproke had his hand slightly Injured.

TO our
(AUTION "
Washbiirn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pat
rons that thev will thin vear hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY Oil) WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. Ncto wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grindiii);.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
