A MUCH FIRMER TONE
Follows( An Early Decline on Lower
London Quotations.
-A EUMOR OF JAY QODLD'8 DEATH
-And Were Talk About Gold FiporU Haye
Some Effect,
BUT GENERAL MARKET CLOSED STRONG
New York, Nov. 30. The stock market
was feverish and unsettled throughout to
day. At the opening prices declined frac
tionally all around in sympathy with lower
quotation! from London, but subsequently
a firmer tone prevailed and an advance of
iim ensued. Among the railways Lake
Shore advanced iyi and Beading and New
England , while among the industrials
American Sugar, Distilling aud Cattle Feed
ing, Chicago Gas and Lead each improved
about a point. Moderate purchases for Lon
don aooount had a tendency to strengthen
the market.
Daring the afternoon tbe belier that gold
exports will be made on Saturday was
strengthened by the withdrawal of $100,000
cold coin from the sub-Treasury by Heidel
baoh, Iokellieimer & Co., ostensibly for the
purpose of ascertaining the exact weight of
tne gold now being paid out by the Govern
ment. The report of Jay Gonld's death also
gained wide circulation before it could be
denied by his sons, and a determined at
tack was made upon the stocks generally
known as the Gould favorites. Missouri
Pacific broke from Sl to 55 and Western
Union fioui86Jto Si. The remainder of
tbe list svmpatblzcd, Dut outside 01 a tew
stock declines wero comparatively small.
The general market closed firm in tone.
Eallway bonds as a rule were firm. The
sales were $1,231,000.
About tbe gold shipments on Saturday it
is a very difficult matter to make any cucis;
still we think that about $2,000,000 will go
forward. We understand that the bankers
are somewhat reluctant in shipping the gold,
as they are afraid of adverse criticism. It
must always be noted that the gold which
the Treasury gives is light weighted, and it
is theieiore always risky to ship gold at tbe
present time. There is no doubt that we
will have to ship a large amount of gold be
fore the first of January: it mav not be this
week or next, but it will have to go Just tbe
same. For that reason, we are not inclined
to bull tbe market, thouch a small rally may
come any day. The industrials remained
very strong, with determined buying by in
siders, showing that better things are to
come. J. S. Each & Co. to Oakley & Co.

CHICAGO 'CHANGE.
Wheat and Provisions Lower and Corn a
. Shade Higher.
Chioaoo, Nov. 3a Bumor had It that John
Cudahy and bis followers not only bought a
great deal of wheat to-day, but got perhaps
2,000,000, besides on puts they bought yester
day in addition to their direct purchases.
Aa trading In puts and calls is illegal, con
firmation of the latter item is not likely to
come from the principals. Compared with
yesterday's closings, wheat is ytc lower for
December and HQio lower for May; corn is
about H higher; pork, 7Kc; lard, 12Jfc and
ribs. 7Kc lower.
The wheat market started at unchanged
figures, but with big receipts in the North
west, weak cables and lower domestic mar
kets, with a decided pressuie to sell Decern
fcer, the market was quite easy Tor a time.
At the decline, -however, there was some
vretty lively baying. The fact that Decem
ber deliveries oome to-morrow made very
many anxious to get out of that month.
This caused unusnal selling pressure of a
Scattering character. Tbe receipts at Minne
apolis aiid Duluth were 1,926 cars, against E32
cars for tbe same day last year, ant? 188 cars
..nrnnico. .Braclrtreefi available suddIv
showed an Increase east of tbe Eockies of
.017000, Out was not wmk lacior, as it
showed an increase by only 800,000 bushels
In all tbe points outside of the official list.
About the only item of bull news was tbe
large export clearanoea.
In corn there was a good speculative de
mand, af the weather was regarded as un
favorable for tbe graded,and tbe selling was
somewhat restricted with tbe demand fair
ly active. The decrease in stocks was also
a bullish factor.
Tbe feature in oats was the heavy ex
changing between December and May de
liveries at differences varying from Be to
eWc Options closed a shade lower.
Bog products opened lower on the laree
receipts or hogs 13,000 head, where 34,000
bad been estimated but there was lively
buying at the decline, the Wright and
Cudahy party leading in the movement,
and there waa a sharp advance. Then the
realizing was very general and at the close
compared with last night there was a loss
shown of 7K10o all aronnd.
Freights were slow. Charters to Buffalo
were 2Jc for wheat and 4c for flaxseed.
Cash quotations were as follows:

A DELUGE OF PHILLIE
On Heport of a Bearish Compromise
With Carnegie & Co.
THE STOCK SCORES A BIG LOSS.
Union Switch and Signal Also Takei a
Downward Turn.
LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS
Wednesday, Nov. 30;
Philadelphia Company was poured on
the market, all day to-day, the result beinfe
a steady decline to 19. It was known
late yesterday to a favored few that the
weakness of the stock was due to the fact
that the legal battle between the company
and Carnegie, Phipps & Co. had been
terminated by a compromise unfavorable to
the Philadelphia Company, and the deluge
of stbek to-day was not unexpected. A
good many of the selling orders executed
were for Eastern account A fair pro
portion of the business was strictly local,
however, and it is expected that
the decline to-day will bring out
considerably more lightly margined
stock to-morrow. If such is the
case, and no support is offered, lower prices
will doubtless be made, though it would
seem as if the compromise had been dis
counted, particularly sines the exact terms
of it are unknown. Officials of neither cor
poration would say anything further than
that a oompromise had been effected and
that it was none of the public's business
what the terms of it were. One rumor had
it that tbe disputed accounts item was
wilted ont and the perpetual contraot an
nulled, in consideration of which $75,000
changed hands; but the rumor failed to
state which side got the $75,000. The
Philadelphia Company at least secured
the right to make the Carnegie concern
pay tbe market price for gas it they want to
use it, and if they don't want to use it the
company will have it to offer to someone
else at tbe regulation price. In this view of
the case the compromise is a bull card.
The worst feature about It Is that tho
terms agreed to are so jealously guarded
from the public. It is some of the public's
busineBS what those terms are,
especially that portion of the publio
who are stockholders, and as long
as they are withheld the compromise
will be considered a good deal more of a
busaboo than it probably really is. The
deal should be fully andofnolally explained,
not alone in Justice to the stockholders, but
to relieve certain officials of the company,
who bave quite a penchant lor tbe market,
of tbe suspicion that they withheld all in
formation, and are still withholding it, to
trade on. ,
No matter what tbe nature of the compro
mise, it should bave no farther depressing
effect. It has had too much already. The
company will be as able to pay its dividends
and increase its dividend rate as ever, and
it will probably have just as muoh gas as
ever. It is not going to the demnitlon bow
wows right an ay.
Trading In tbe other shares was limited.
Union Switch and Sternal was decidedly
weak, selling down to 18K, closing at 18 bid.
P. & B. traotlon sold at 21k. Central traction
at 29K29, Airbrake at 132. P. & B. traction
bonds ut par, and a small lot of Electric
Scrip at 82)4. The general tone of the mar
ket was weak.
Citizens' traction 5s were quoted at 106
bid, and Pittsbuig traction 5s at 101 bid.
Unlisted street railway securities closed
as follows: P. & B. traction, 2t?;21K: do
6s, 99 asked; Duquesne ttaction, 2727; do
Cs, 100 and interest asked.
The Steel Ball Trade.
A conspicuous feature in tbe steel trade at
present is that, while tbe aggregation of
Chicago mills is w ell employed on rails,
nearly all other establishments bave exe
cuted the most of their back orders and
stand in need of new business to insure win
ter work. With the Carnegie establishments
rapidly getting into smooth working order,
the position becomes even more interesting.
Thns tar it does not appear that the trying
conditions bave fractured the manufactur
ers' "pool," although rumors of impending
changes and dissatisfaction In certain
quarters have circulation. On very good
authority It is learned that the Chi
cago Company has paid into the "pool" $2 50
per ton on 60,000 tous sold in excess of the
allotment, although some time ago generous
enough to turn one good-sized order to East
ern mills. Divided among the less fortu
nate competitors this sum of $150,000 is likely
to check dissension lor a time, since open
competition would be likely to force prices
for rails don n closely to current rates for
high carbon billets. In other words, doing
nothing at a good profit seems to be more
satisfactory than working mills at a very
slender margin or at a loss, and the "pool"
arrangement is doubtless thereby kept in
mot. It has been argued that no more rails
would be sold at $25 per ton than at $30.
For a time this argument seemed
plausible. More recently, however, there
have been inquiries pointing strongly to
more active employment for various mills
were prices' for rails brought nearer to cur
rent rates for other heavy steel products,
and circumstantial evidence Is strong that
more than one large ordor Is being held
back for some change ot base on the part of
rail manufacturers or disruption of tho
"pool." Meanwhile the "pool" price for
heavy sections remains at $30 o. b. Eastern
mills, while 10-pound sections are sold at 50o
to $1 per ton less and lighter sections at
corresponding rates.
financial Notes.
During tbe decline in Phillle on 'Change
this afternoon one of the brokers recalled
tbe famous communication of C. L Wade on
tbe stock and lemarked thatthey laugh best
who laugh last.
The chief sellers of Phillle to-day were
Morris & Brown, J. B. Barbour and W. H.
Watt; the buying was pretty well distrib
uteed. Hill & Co. and A. Caster sold Switch and
Signal to Sproul & Co, and F. Eaton.
bproul & Co. sold P. A B. 5s to A. Caster.
J. J. Campbell, Hill & Co, andSpronl & Co.
were the sellers of P. & B. and S. S. Pinker
ton was the purchaser.
J. B. Barbour sold Central traction to
Sproul & Co.
Yesterday afternoon the stockholders of
the Parkeisburg blanch of the Baltimore
and Ohio Bailroad met at Farkcrsburg, and
elected the .following Board of DIreotors:
Orlando Smith, President; Bobert Garrett,
W. H. Blackford, W. F. Burns, W.W. Taylor.
Aubrey Beam, C. H. Shattuok, W. N. Chan
cellor, J. N. Camden, Tlios. S. Spates and D.
a Winebrener. The annual report showed
gross earnings, $611,018 82; net earnings, $82,
199 22.
The New York Evening Pott says: "There
is but one conclusion to be drawn from a
market such as to-day's. It has ceased for
the time to reflect anything, but tho terrors
of simple-minded speculators, who see
ghosts In every corner and only await a hint
from some professional dealer in scares to
believe that all Is lost."
It Is stated that negotiations are pending
between a steel syndicate representing
$1,000,000 and Jonas chalter, ofMuhlenburg
township, Berks county, for the purchase of
bis farm of 170 acres of land. Tne price has
been agreed upon, and there remains but the
small matter of the agent's fee to be ad
justed. The syndicate, It is believed, will
erect a plant similar to that at Steelton. The
site is three miles north or Beading, between
tbe Pennsylvania und .Heading Railroads.
Has the Philadelphia Company any more
contracts similar to tbe one it had with
Carnegie, Phipps & Co.T
Jay Gould is quoted as saying that he ex
pects $100,000,000 of gold to be shipped to
Europe beiore June 30.

The local money market remains un

Money ruled firm in New York to-day, bdt

ranging from 3 to 6 per cent; last loan at 3

at 6 to 7 per cent, chiefly at the inside figure.
The packers are now very large borrowers,
while the demand from tho grain receiving
and shipping Interests is smallerthan it was
several weeks ago. Country banks aro bor
rowing a good deal of money Irom Chicago

A GOOD NOVEMBER TRADE
In Staples and Specialties The People
Prosperous Collections Easy and Money
Plentiful Current Business Features
and Revised Prices.
Wednesday, Nov. 30.
Trade has been fairly good in all lines
during the month ending to-day. The fall
movement of staples is about over, but
fancy articles and holiday specialties are
moving with unusual freedom. Still there
is all the time a fairly good mail order
trade in staple goods, for merchants have
formed tbe habit of buying in smaller
quantities and replenishing their stocks
ottener than in tormer years, when it was
the custom to buy only twice a year.
Traveling salesmen are meeting with fair
success, and, with very few exceptions, the
people are in prosperous circumstances.
While the crops are by no means equal to
those of last year tho grain production is
still ample, and the only unfortunate- feat
ure, as viewed from the standpoint of the
producer, is that farmers are in too great a
hurry to part with their wheat. This has
resulted in swelling -the visible supply to
uncomfortable proportions until the huge
elevators are lairly rilled to their very
eaves. Collections are generally easy and
money is plenty throughout the West.
The best authority on beet sugar statistics
basjust Issued an estimate of the beet yield
for the present year, his figures making the
total production of Eut ope 3,400,000 tons, as
compared with a yield last year of 3,500,000
tons. This shows that the total beet sugar
crop promises to be short of last year, and
the fact that the yield for seveial yeais past
has not varied to any great extent would
seem to indicate that the beet industry in
Europe has been about developed to its full
