\ 10 CHICAGO TRIBUNE (BRUARY THURSDAY 1880 26, TWELVE PAGES. FINANCE AND TRADE.. | : Bear Calculations of a Bad Break in Stocks Not Fulfilled. The Market Opens Weak, but Closes Strong. Governments Lower—Heavy Shipments of Gnrrency to the Oountry. Tho Produce Markets Less Active and Easier—4 Decline in Grain and Provisions. A Firmer Feeling in the Afternoon, and an !m- provement Over Tuesday's Closings. FINANCIAL. © The quotations tell the whole story of the stock market of yesterday, The calculations that there would be a bad break were disap- pointed. There was weakness visible at the opening, and there was some slaughter of stocks ordered sold by persons whom the break cf the evening previous had made timid. Iron Mountain sold down to 604, Ene to 442i, North- western to 903s Union Pacific to 90, Lackawanna to &i%, Jersey Central to 814, and Western Union toll2%; but these were the lowest prices of the day, and were made good before the close. Comparing final quotations with those. of the ay before, there were gains for Michigan Cen- tral 4, to 91%; Northwestern %,to 913; Iron Mountain X, to 624; St. Joe 44, to 41s; the preferred #, to 75%: Delaware & Hudson 1X, to 78; Lackawanna 1%, to 89%; Jersey Cen- tral 1s, to 86!4; Kansas & Texas 3%, to 43%; Wa- Dash 3, to 4433; the preferred %, to 69; Minne- apolis 4, to 50%; Pacific Mail, 1%; Sioux City preferred %, to SL The losses were more numerous, Dut were none of them serious.

The situation was oneof expectancy. The meeting of the mem- Ders of the trunk-line pool, and the decision of the fate of the Southwestern pool, are awaited with fntense interest by the outside public as the most important factors in the immediate fut- ure, The market isin the hands of very pow- erful men, and while the general condition of the railroadsand the country warrant the ex- pectation of ultimately much higher prices then those now ruling, these quotations willbe reached by ways too deviousfor most people to follow with profit.

The latest reported railroad earnings are us follows: Gross earnings of the Minneapolis & St. Louis for week ending Jan. 31, $14,385.57, an increase of $4,°42.70; for the month ending Jan. 31, $42,938.07, an increase of $15,431.86. Hannibal & St. Joseph carnings for second week of Feb- Yruary show a guin of $8,000. Earnings of the Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw Road for the second weck in February, $20,214, an increase of $8,200. Approximate earnings of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern for the second week in February, $132,800, an increase of $4,226.79. St. Paul & Sioux City, week ending Feb. 14, 1890, ‘$2216, an increase of $4,158. Kansas & Texas, second week in February, $81,989, increase of $36,706, In noting the increased activity and higher Prices for the C., C, & L C, properties, espe- cinlly the first mortgages, which rose last week from 87 to 91, and in the incomes, which advanced from 41% to 43, the New York Herald gives the following particulars, which are deemed reliable, and will be of interest to holders: The improvement ulluded to is due to the impression that the judgment against the Pennsylvania Company will be paid before the time expires for perfect- ing the appeal bord. The Pennsylvania Com- pany, it is suid, will not take the risk of having the judgment increased by the Supreme Court, which, indeed, the C, C. & L C. Com- pany claim ought to | have Met fully $90,000 more. Besides, by a setticf@nt the Pennsylvania Company would realize hand- somely by the increased. value of the income bonds, over two-thirds of which they hold. ‘These bonds are now thasccond lien on the road and curry percent buck interest, for which, interest the holders are entitled to preferred stock. The indebtedness of the road will stand then about as follows: First-mortzage bonds, $15,821,000; income, or seconds, $10,000,000; pre- ferred stock, 37,000,000; common stock, $13,909,- 00. The earnings of the road were in 1669 800,00, and compared with the increased busi- uess of other roads, with the litigation all set- ted, ought now to- be at Jeast $5,000,000, on which basis it could pay interest on both classes of bonds, and at. least a good dix idend on the preferred stock. <At the Mining Mr. Cornelius B. Gold, Zof the firm of Gold, Barbour, Swords & Co., of New York, who was the first President of the Southern Minnesota ‘Htailroad under the reorganization, bas been a second time elected to that position. The ex- tension of this road has been completed to Flandreau, Dakota Territory, and graded thirty- eight miles further, to Sioux Falls; and the Cen- tral Railroad; from Wells to Mankato, Minn., has been acquired by purchase, making the en- tre completed line now operated 3i6miles. Un- ler the present management, elected in the in- terest of the bondholders, this has become one of the most important railroad properties of Minnesota. , About the new Ontario & Western trunk line the World says: ‘The new company must have several millions of cash in hand, and expects a round sum in ad- dition from the conversion of old Oswego Mid- land stock into the new stock with 30 per cent assessment,—this option lasting five months longer. The new company’s Western connec- tions area subject of general discussion. The same purties are believed to be interested in Ontario & Western and Atlantic.& Great West- ern, and the conclusion has been (rather hastily, one would think) jumped ut that the sume per- sons can control the Rochester & State Line Road, which connects Rochester with the Atlan tic & Great Western. The roundabout connec- tion by way of Oswego and the Lake Ontario shore has been much talked of as the route by which the Ontario & Western is to reach the Rochester & State Line Road. But if the sume ‘parties who - control the Ontario & Western. and the Atluntic & Grent ‘Western can really make the Rochester & State Line Road a part of their system, the parural way to form the connection would be to buil from Oneida, where the Ontario & Western crosses the New York Central. direct to Roches- ter, and purullel to the New York Central, ata short distance south of it; or, if they acquire the Belden Roud into Syracuse, then from Syracuse to Rochester in the same manner. The saving in d&tance, des, climate. and facilities for traffic would be very great; and the Ontario & ‘Western has money on hand which would go a long way towards building the seventy or 107 miles of road needed. But we do not suppose they have yet. secured'control of the Rochester & State Line Road. Several subscribers ask why Secretary Sher- man is paying a premium for bonds of 1880, which they assume are due. These bonds—the 6s of 1880—are not payable till Dec. 31, 1690, and Secretary Sherman pays no more for them than they are worth in the market. -< A correspondent writes to ask why American securities are generally quoted higherin the London market than in New York. One cause of this is the real difference in value, which makes it profitable to export American securi- tes and American products to the English mar- ket, and the other isa nominal difference due to the fact that in converting New York Stock Ex- change quotations into London Stock Exchange quotations the pound is reckoned worth $3, while its actual value Is Jess. Yesterday it was but $1614@84.80x in New York. : In answer to another inquiry, .it was the ‘Western Bank of Scotland that failed so disas- trously some years ago. The interesting fact is noted by the San Fran- cisco Bulletin that the mining. dividends paid at New York this month will be larger than those paid at San Francisco, and yet we are told that there isno danger that New York will ever amount to anything as a mining centre. Just now, however, New York stockholders are quite favored. They are receiving fair dividends and paying no assessments. Twenty million dollars, the New York Tribune says, would be a very low estimate of the amount of Eustern capital invested in Western mining enterprises during the past year. The Fifth Avenue Hotel is the mining rendezvdus of this city, and it is safe to say thit one-thirdof the men who throng the main corridor from 7:30 to 10p. m. have mines to sell. Saunter through the crowd, and the words “mine,” “ore.” “shuft,” “dividend ” are heard onall sides. When two men are seen sitting apart, one talking eagerly, with many gestures, ‘the other listening with an air of wanting to hear and wanting to get away, it is certain that the talker has a mine to sell, and that the lis- tener is, for the time being, a victim. a Cotton opened at 13.26c for April and 13.40c for ~eay, and closed steady at 13.%0c for April and 13 2 for May. ‘WOUK COUNTY AND WEST CHICAGO SPER CENT BONDS. é MILWAUKEE & ST.

NEW YORK, Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Nrw York, Feb. 25.—The market opened hes- itatingly, and there were many anxious faces in Walistreet this morning. Gould and Sage broke broke the market yesterday so suddenly that there was much uneasiness as to what their tac- tics might be to-day. Yesterday’s raid was very cleverly executed. Just before the close bro- kers were employed to bid up money, while others were stationed among the different stocks to breuk them. Five minutes sufficed to break down the whole list, and there was no recovery. ‘To-day Gould hus made no sign, but. Suge was 2 buyer of stocks at the lowest prices. Prices opened at the lowest point, and continued ‘with irregularity, without much recovery, un- til afternoon, when, under the leadership of the coul stocks, which have been strongly muintained, the whole market advance and closed’ firmly, "but very dull. Tho short interest Has been hirgely increased to-day with- out doubt, and the opinion as to the future of the market is divided. Keene and D. 0. Mills, with a considerable following, have faith in higher prices, und are large holders of telegraph and coul stocks, Pucifie Mail and Lake shore. Osborn & Scott are largely long on Luke Shore und Erie. GouNi, on the other hand, believes the market in a condition where prices are likely to reuct sharply any mument. He thinks the country improving in an unprecedented degree, and has faith in’ the railroads built in new and growing sections, but thinks the spirit of specu- lation 1s carried to a dangerous extent. Very recently the activity of moucy bas attracted his attention, as also the foreign movement in ex- ebange, stiffening from day to day. It isbe- lteved that Sage shares his opinion. Gould is guing West next week, and it is thought will endeavor to create a stumpede be- fore he teaves. Much better fecling prevails to- night, but conservative operators advise cau- tion. To the Western Associated Press. New Yous, Feb. 25,—Governments weak and GH lower. * ituilroud bonds were depressed in dealings, but closed firm. State securities dull. ‘The stock market was generally lower in the early dealings, the decline ran; from % to 2% percent, Western Union, Atlantic & Pacific, the Grangers, Erie, Pacitic Mail, and Iron Mount- ain led the downward movement.

The following grain was inspected into store in this city yesterday morning: 7 cars winter wheat, 1 car mixed, 16 cars No. 2 spring, 17 cars No. 3 do, 8 cars rejected, 1 car no grade (30 wheat); 150 cars No. 2 corn, 79 cars high mixed, 3 cars new mixed, lcarno grade (26! corn); 16 cars white oats, 7 cars No. 2 mixed, 8 cars re- Jected, 2 curs no grade (83 oats); 4.cars No. 2 rye; learNo.2 barley, 3 cars No. 3 do, 6 cars extra; 1 car feed (11 barley). Tota}, 382 cars, or 176,000 bu. Inspected out: 4,25! bu wheat, 19,335 bu corn, 4,006 bu oats, 5,095 bu barley. ‘The leading produce markets were less active yesterday, and generally easier. There were few buying orders in grain, except a zood de- mand for corn free on board cars; but wheat Was strengthened after midday by moderate purchases by men supposed to be identified with the“‘clique.” Provisions were {depressed by the big receipts of hogs ‘'uesday, which ‘shook confl- dence, ‘though the receipts. were not repeated yesterday, as expected. There was a firmer feeling in the afternoon, the latest prices being generally aslight improvement over those of the previous day. Mess pork closed at 5c higher, at $11.85 for seller March and $12.00 for April. Lard closed dc higher, at $7.27} for new seller March and 7.37% for April. Short ribs closed at $6.50 for April. Spring wheat closed 4c higher, at $1.24% for spot and $1.254% for March. Corn closed better, at 37%c spot and 41%c May. Oats’ closed easinr, at d54@3%e seller May. Rye was easy, at 34@73¥e seller March and fresh No. 2 was steady ut75c. Barley was nominally weak, at Tic for April No. 2 and Sie for March extra 3. Hogs were fairly-active and casy,at $4.20G4,35 for light and at $1.°5@ 4.85 for heavy. Cattle were dull and unchanged, at $2.50@5.40 for common to extra, a? Continued improvement in the:demand for ry goods is reported. Probably a larger volume of business is doing than on any previous year at acorresponding period, and the outlook for the spring trade is most promising. Prices both for cottons and woolens remain exceedingly firm. The grocery market wus reported slightly more active, and, excepting sugars, the general tenor of prices was firm. Coffees were active at X¥eadvance. Dried fruits wrre without quota- ble change, though currants and blackberries were tending higher. Ther: as an easy market for raisius, apples, and peaches. There was a continued good demand for #4, and Inke fish were again higher; No. 3 whi": 4sh advanced to $6,25@5.50 and whitetlsh 16. *).00@5. Dairy products were about stuidy. ‘ils were in mod- eratédemand. Thé only changes noted were a decline in naphtha and gascline of %c. Bagging |. was strong. Coal and pig-iron remained dull. Lumber was steady and fairly active. Orders are arriving freely from the country, and the local demend is much better than a yeur ago. ‘The broom-corn market was quiet and steady. Wool was in request and firm, and hides were quoted easy. in consequence of the weakness East. Seeds were more active and firmer, the bulk of the trading being in timothy. Hay sold at former figures. The poultry market was slow and weak under abundant supplies, and sellers were anxious to close out, 1s the weather was too warm for carrying stock over. Potatoes were unchanged. Eggs were easier, owing to larger receipts, There would appear to be quite a reaction in the European demand for provisions. One, house here has sold some 30,000 boxes of meats within the past tbree weeks, and stili the de- mand keeps -up, while freights have actually been advanced on through stuff, being now 77@" %8c per 100 Ibs to Liverpool, while some steamer charters are reported to have been made weeks ahead at the advanced rates. The demand is ehietly for short ribs and long,and short clears, A Wisconsin letter says that in Dane and Sauk ‘Counties the winter wheat was supposed to be extensively damuged, the tops being browned; buta rather rigid examinution shows that the plant is all alive and healthy at the roots. Operators in this city are generally inclined to distrust the complaints made in some sections about damage to the growing winter wheat. A gentleman in the business at Detroit states that fully three-eightbs, and perhaps one-half, of the wheat surplus of Michigun is yet uomarketed. On the other hand, the winter wheat of Southern Mlinois is said to be nearly all out of the hands of the farmers, and ‘not a few of the mills have closed for want of muterial. It was reported on "Change yesterday that some farmers in Iowa and Nebraska are already sowing spring wheat. The rumor was revived yesterday that some of the timothy seed dug out of the ruins of the late fire had been mixed with sound seed and offered on the market as a straight article. Some people think the mixture of seed under such circumstances is contrary to law, and say the rumor is ugly enough to deserve investiga- tion ‘by the Directors of the Bourd of Trade. On the other hand it is stated that the fire tim- othy seed fit to handle has becn traded in legiti- mately. No attempt to misrepresent it has been made. The buyers have taken the seed with a full knowledge of its condition, and as- sume the risk of ita being good for anything. It certainly seems as if no regular dealer could afford to deGeive the public, and when a buyer chooses to purchase property which he and everybody else knows to be “off,” whose busi: nessisit buthisown? The rumors may have been spread for effect. There is some reason tu | think the seed market just now smells stronger of the old barley deal than of smoky timothy. Rail freights were reported steady on the basis of 40c per 100 Ibs on grain to New York, and 43¢ on boxed meats todo. Through freights to Liv- erpool were 78 on meats and lurd, and 55c on flour; do to Glasgow 68Xc, and lard and meats to Hamburg 85e. The receipts of wheat at Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Toledo, and Detroit, reported yester- day, aggregated 114,000 bu, and shipments 33,000.

Sy An important amendment tothe rules of the Board of Trade has been unanimously approved by the Directors, and will probably be adopted by the Board. It provides that instead of carry- ing or .sending the warehouse receipts around, as now, in making deliveres, the seller may advise the buyer by notice in writing, delivered ut his place of business before 2:30 o'clock p. m., that the property sold is ready for delivery at his (the seller's) place of business, which shall be stuted on said notice. Such notice shall state in de tail the warehouse receipts proposed to be delivered and the contract price upon which de- livery is ‘proposed to be made, ulso the net value of the said property at that price. Said delivery notice may be passed from one purchaser to another before 2:30 o'clock p.m. by the indorsement thereon of each seller, together with the price at which he bus sold the property. Notice of readiness to deliver Property as hercin provided, and all subsequent transfers as nforesaid of such notices, shall be deemed and held to be a valid and sufficient ten- der of property on time contracts under the rules of the Board of Trade. provided the prop- erty is actually delivered, or is shown to brave been ready for delivery in the manner and upon the terms herein provided. The buyer may re- ecive the property on presentation of the notice at the oflice of the issuer, and if the property be found to be notin the control of the seller at the time of issuing the notice. or to have been subsequently sold within the life of the contract, the party may be expelled from membership. The provisions for making subsequent trans- fers, und for avting in case of default, seem well calculated for the convenience of the’ trade; while the amendment, as a whole, seems to ob- vinte the objection that 2 change in the mode of delivery would vitiate the legal character of the transaction, PROVISIONS.
