For the most part, however, the representative stocks were neglected and sluggish. The Gould stocks e the most conspicuous in the trading, Mis- sourl Pacific leading in point of activit: There were heavy Wabash securities and in Texas and Paclic. The BSouthwestern railroads are expected to gain a special benefit from the large corn crop and the winter wheat crop in that ter- ritory 1s also in a high average condition. The Wabash stocks were exceptionally affected by eggressive steps being taken to secure termin- al facilities, both in Pittsburg and in Balti- more, for the use of Wabash Eastern exten- sions. There was a fitful speculation in the soft coal stocks based upon the benefit felt that trade as an incident of the paralysis of the anthracite trade. There Were persistent rumors as well of an intention on the part of | the Norfolk and Western directors to advance | The settle- | the dividend rate on that stock. ment of the elevated railroad Manhatta; was & no m troubles helped and the Goulds as a group. There table show of sfrength in a number of or railroad stocks, especially in the granger region. The brokers employed by the specu- lative interest which accomplished the Louis- ville and Nashville transfer were conspicuous in these operations. The National Lead stocks r the lead Interests of the country. United States Steel shot up % on the news of an additional distribution of '$10,000,000 profits to the under- writing syndicate,'thus bringing the total dls- tribution ‘up to $30,000,000 on actual pald in subscriptions of $25,000,000. The stock quickly relapsed into comparative inactivity, but with a fractional gain retained. The aggressive steps being taken on behalf of the Northern Securi- ties Company to clear up litigation against that corporation and the hopeful views ex- pressed of its earnings by James J, Hill give the fmpression that active steps are pending toward a distribution of the stock. This and many other plans are supposed to be waiting upon the return of J. P. Morgan, who safled for New York to-day. Amongst the weak features, Amalgamated Copper wae affected by the unstable tone of the raw copper market. The price of Rock Island was lowered, sup- pofedly with a view to discourage' the disposi- tion of minority holders to liguidate their hold- ings rather than consent to the conversion plan. Funds were more freely offered on cail to-day and the rate was easler. The active ox- port demand for wheat encouraged the offer- ing of exchange bills and the rate for sterling showed no_recovery from yesterday's decline. The closing was quite active and Irregular. Wabash debenture B's were the feature of the bond market, The Central of Georgia sec- ond fncomes were also in demand, par value, $2,710,000. Acal el United States bonds were all unchan the last call. e NEW YORK STOCK LIST. | Stocks— Sales. | Atchison | Atchison, | Baltimore & Ohio | Balt & Ohio ptd.

Receipts are large from day to day and prices show but slight varlation. Bartlett Pears in bulk boxes are a drug on the market, as the canners will not buy them at any price. Plums are in heavy supply, and although canners had the making of prices they were indifferent buyers. Peaches find ready sale, but Apricots, no matter how choice, are hard to sell.
