SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 13 HILL AND THE ERIE Stocks Strengthened by His Holdings in Line, DECLINE IN "BULLED" PRICES lloclclner Valler Lost All Its Gains of Thursday Believed Important J)e Telopments Are Pendinff Anent Soutuern Trnnlc Lines. NEW TOnK. Ansr. 8- Efforts were made today to ehlft speculative Interests Into new quarters o' tho market. The opening dealings showed that the glamor of the supposed plan for a merger of Southern trunk line railroads had taken hold upon the Imagination of the speculative world, and most of tho stocks wtoh were vlolentlr affected yesterday start ed off on a fresh upward movement today. But It also became quickly evident that tho move ment was overrunning" Itself. Either the de elro to take profits or the belief that the pr!c6 had been lifted to above the Intrinsic value of stocks led to prompt reaction in Louisville. Illinois Central, and conspicuously In Hockln Valley. The last-named stock not only lost Its opening rise of this morning. but all of yesterday's sensational gains as well. The reaction was not so violent in other stocks, althouch Rock Inland developed heavy tone, and Colorado Fuel became wealc with rouch sentimental effect upon the general market. It cannot bo said that the reaction In the- Southern group materially altered the conviction In the street that Important oe velonments are impending regarding this group, Tho difficult encountered by Louisville In Its advance above 150 was attributed to tho fan that that Is the figure at which the op tion Is supposed" to be held by J. P. Morgan JSt Co., to buy the control of the road. Soma of the largest selling of the Southern trunk lines wns by brokers usually employed by the speculative leader, whose publicly proclaimed "bullishness" was a forerunner of "yesterday's violent advances. Probably some disappoint nrrnt was felt because the official announce ment of the acquisition of the Chicago &. east ern Illinois by the St. Louis & San Franclsec contained no reference to the further exten- sje projects which are supposed to lie back of that operation. In fact, no official counte nance could be secured from any source of yesterday's many rumors. The belief was hold that this and other important projects may have to await tho return of J. P. Mor iran. now on the way here from Europe. Among the new points of strength the roost conspicuous and most Influential was that in the Erie stocks. No reason was forthcoming for their advance beyond a revival of old rumors of large holdings In the property by J, J. Hill, and plans for Its improvement by that capitalist. The rise In Amalgamated Cop per seemed to be purely speculative in Us ori gin. Other points of strength were tho Colo rado & Southern stocks. Texas & Pacific and a number of minor stocks. The banks havo not gained enough from the Interior to offset the drain on the Subtreasury. and a poor bank return Is indicated. This and tho holiday prompted to realization late In the day, and the closing was dull and Irregular. The bond market was dull and Irregular. Total sales. par value. Sl.175.000. During the early part of this week the In terest In the stock market had fallen to so low an ebb that the members of the Stock Exchange eagerly aalled themselves of the coronation of the King of England on Satur day, and as an occasion for a holiday peti tioned the governors with practical unanimity to cloao tho Exchange. After this action 'had been taken, the market sprang into activity again, And by Thursday the volume of deal lngs had again risen to well above 500,000 shares. The fact that the awakening was co Incident with the return to New York from ,a vacation trip of the putatlvo leader of al the Important speculative movements that have recently occurred did not escape notice and comment, and the. public outgivings of this leader of enthusiastic confidence In higher prloes tor the future warranted an Inference that his' own operations In the market were j shaped to that "end. Some of the most vio lent movements were In stocks In which this leader and his following have been conspicu ous and successful operators In the past, and In which their continuing Interest Is avowed. These price jnoements have 4een accompa nied by a flood of rumors which may be either cause or effect, but which have a bearing on tho stock market situation in any event. Offi cial announcement or even admission on the subject has been menger. but there is a gen eral credence In theory that important devel opments are Impending, looking to the con solidation of Interests In the Southern trunk line field. The only accomplished fact of the week upon which to hang the theory was the formal announcement of the plan to take over the Chicago & Eastern Illinois by the St. Louis & San Franolsco. This and the recent reaching out by the St. Louis & San Fran cisco system In other directions into the Southern field, made it evident that there were new relations to be adjusted in that field. Stocks of other systems which the new ele ment might bo supposed to threatgn with dan gerous rivalry, instead of showing depression. were buoyant In the market, and the specula tive public promptly formed the Inference that relations were to be harmonized throughout that field. There has been no development In the money market to Indicate effective re lief. Tho week's gold shipment was called special transaction, and was attributed to the working out of Austria-Hungary's current conversion plan, but it Is believed that this may draw somo further gold from here. The Paris demand for gold In tho London market has also shown signs of revival. General con' dltlons In this country have continued highly favorable to values, except for tho continu ance of the anthracito miners' strike and some threats of labor troubles Jn other directions. Tho bond market as a rulo has been rather quiet and Irregular for Investment Issues, al though there has been an active market for some speculative bonds. United States Ss have declined Uc on coll since last week. Closlns Stock Quotations. Atchison 03X1 Southern Pacific . OOVj do nfd 103"!Southern Ry 40 a. & 0 100 do pfd do pfd OOli Tex. & Pacific.

BEARS FOLLOW THE BULLS HEAVY SELLING ORDERS CAUSE A BREAK I CORX. Wheat Was Influenced ly the Wealy nets and All Options Went Off Outlook for Crops. ' CHICAGO. Aug. a The corn pit was filled with bears from the sound of the starting gong. For the past two or three months com had been bulled to death. Today the outlook for crops could not have been better. Hay oalB. B wen as corn. iinnucu auuuuum. lng on the- season, th general opinion was that tho coarse grains wero still far out ot the natural range with wheat. Opening rales she-wed weakness and an avalanche of selling orders struck the pit, and resulted In a break of 2c. Com came from all quarters, both from longs and shorts. Stop loss orders came out and the millers dumped long stuff freely. Thero was n. little reaction late, but the close was very weak, 2U$Jc lower for September, at ClHc. Wheat was Influenced to a great extent by the weakness In corn. The big 'commission houses wtre sellers freely on the fine weather. big deliveries apd bearish crop advices. Re ceipts still kept above last year's figures. There was a moderate early buying by shorts. which steadied prices for a time against lowrr cables and other bearish Influences. When the corn break came, wheat went oft In all options. Clearances were poor and augmented tho decline. Cash business was at a good premium as high as 4c but tho selling pres sure persisted and most options closed lc lower. Business was heavy. September opened 4Vic to a shade down, at GSH?6Sc. sold at CSieC8tc broke to 67c and closed weak. 5iSZj4c down, at GSc Oats wero lower with corn, on favorable weather and good crop advices. September closed weak, c lower, at 31c Provisions wero liquidated again by the out side. Hogs were lower, but packers supported woll for a time, and helped in an early rally. The coarse grain weakness brought a late slump, and the close was generally weak. September pork closed 35c lower, lard un changed and ribs 20c off. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT.

Exlrnvnganco Criticised uy OflloinI of Tjrans-Atlantlo Liners. New York Times. . "If the language of flowers was audible a full-grown boiler factory would be retreat of somnolence and silence com' pared with the pier of anyone of these big trans-Atlantic liners on sailing days during these prosperous times," ealft the superintendent of one of the lines last Wednesday morning, as he stood on the dock and pointed out no lcs.i than elz highly ornate florists' wagons drawn up alongside the gangway and their liveried footmen transfcrrlntr irreat loeda of dalnt Uy beribboned boxes to the steamer deck and down into the dining saloon. "They've been arriving all morning: continued the official, "and the delivery win Keen up until tne very last minute. And look at those fruit wagons lined up there. There la about $500 worth of fancy fruit, about three dollars' worth of which will be thoroughly enjoyed, and ag for flowers, the Lord only knows what quan titles are piled up in the staterooms and dining saloon now. nine-tenths of which will probably be overboard by the time the ship gets well Into the eeas outside, for there; are timcs on the ocean when to tho novice the odors of tuberoses and boiled turnips amount to about the same thing. The custom of sending flowers to departing voyagers Is becoming more and more universal, and tne wonder to me is that the surfeit, from which many so clety people suffer on sailing day, has not long ago rendered It de trop. "It uoed to be that a small bouquet or two was sent down to the steamer for various passengers, but now the, flowers almost literally come by the ton. Whv. there are staterooms at times that are simply banked on all sides with flowers until there is barely space for the occupant and a friend or two to enter, and an at tendant has to work for an hour after the vessel gets outside to make tno room habitable. 1 "Now, take a man or a woman -who is a poor sailor and subject him or her to this- sort of "smothering In blooms and It Is enough to almost destroy for a. life time their love of flowers. It's getting worse and worse, however, and I suppose it win continue to 00 so, uniu prosperity takes a tumblo." Circuit Trains.

Midsummer quiet has gone from distribu tive trade, and stimulated by really bright crop prospects and good prices for farm prod ucts. Fall business has begun to expand. Buy ers are arriving In large numbers at all rnar- ets and next week promises to tee tho de mand further Increased. Manufacturing In dustry, which has been more than usually active this Summer, continues well employed. Failures are few and liabilities small, vrices are steady. July railway earnings continue to show 7 per cent gain over last year. Advices from the boot and- shoe trade are Irregular. Leather and hides are very active, however, and skins of all kinds are taken as fast as received. The weight of Imported iron Is pressing on domestic sentiment, though no perceptible ef fect Is yet seen in. prices ror pigiron. wnicn la still In active request for next year's de livery. Hardware has had no dull season this year, and business Is as active as ever. Western machinery manufacturers aro report ed crowded, with orders.

Ausr. 8. R. G. Dun & Cos weekly review of trade tomorrow will say Bright prospects In agricultural sections far outweigh the adverse lnfluenco of labor dis putes, which are still retarding traao nna manufacture. Confidence in tho futuro is un shaken, dealers everywhere preparing for heavy Fall trade, while contracts for distant deliveries run further Into next year than Is usual at this date. Activity has been note worthy In Jumber regions, and fish-packing made new records Railway earnings aro fully sustained, the latest returns showing an average advance of 8.0 per cent over tho cor responding time last year, end 21.8 per cent over 1000. Aside from tho fuel scarcity and some con gestlon of trafllc.tjie Iron and steel situation continues propitious. Raw wool is fuly sustained at recent ad vances, the average or 1W graaes snowing a. gam of nearly a cent, as compared with tno lever at May 1. Splendid growing and harvesting conaitions have prcvolled In most sections ot tno coun try, eepeclajy where the larger and more im portant crops are raised. It Is now almost certain that the agricultural 'returns will be far above tho average as to quantity, while Jhe low stocks at the opening of the season are caicuiatoa to sustain pneep, anu more 1 llttla prospect of a return to tho low quota tlons of preceding" years of bumper produc tion.

Then, seeming to decide, sho resumed briskly: "Why, the engineers and tho scrubwomen are the chief dl!3 cultles." Miss Geary Is rent collector tor a model tenement houeo company. She has charge of 33S tenants for it, and with tfte com pletion of contemplated additions to Its East Side property this number will be In creased by 20. In a total annual rent roll of JoO.OOO, Miss Geary wll lose perhaps $50 a year. For several years some of her buildings have not lost a dollar. Miss Geary was the first and it? still almost tho only woman to do that sort of thing in this city: "You see," she said, still contemplating the sins of the engineer, "if the water la not coming up hot enough or is so hot that your pipes are bursting all over the house, or If the tenants come In a proces sion and threaten to leave because they are freezing to death, or If the furnace Is consuming two or three times as much coal as It did. under the last man you had. why, then, you know there's something wrong with the engineer. In the days when these things used to trouble me I didn't understand furnaces will enough to go down and teach the engineer his busi ness. Nowadays I can tell when a man is leaving his damper open and letting all his coal go up the chimney. So the engineer trouble Is long since anlshcd. It belonged to my salad dayai But the 'scrub lady' bless her heart! Is always with us. One ot my greatest dif ficulties Is to get the halls and stairs properly cleaned. We have no desire to save oh this point. "We are perfectly will ing tp pay whatever Is necessary to have It .well done. But there Is not a 6crub woman In New York who will not clean thrco flights of stairs In one pall of water, thick as hasty pudding with - mud. We furnish the soda and soap. All we ask Is that they change tho water once or twice during tho forenoon. But that is abso lutely what they refuse to do. If I put an advertisement in the paper I will have a line of women a block long here after the Job, and every one'of them will havo a tale of woo about the exceeding number and poverty of her children. Then If I take her on she will wash down my stairs In liquid mud. leaving long streaks of it wherever her cloth has wiped. "Then another trade I havo to know," continued illss Geary, refloctlvely, "Is plumbing. When there Is a drain stopped up I must toll the plumber what and where the trouble is. What Is the plum ber for? Well, he Is to fix the trouble when he knows what t Is; but half the time ha won't know what It Is unless you tell him. 'As. essential thing Is to know the wages received by all classes of employes car penters, janitors, printers, clerks, mechan ics of all kinds In order to know whether they are capablo of paying the rent. Sometimes people will take your rooms when they are quite incapable of paying the rent. When they tell you their occu patlon you must know what wages they are probably receiving. Then, again, you must kntfw tho different sections of the city and certain streets, and even certain houses In them: and when you find that an applicant for one of your flats comes from there you know that you must be very careful indeed."
