Stocks, Grain and Provisions

LATEST MOVEMENTS I IS INDUSTRIAL CENTERS,

NEW YORK LETTER. New York, Se.)t. 17. Tin- stock market scored quite a rally, even the industrial shares recovered about two points over the closing figures of last night. Copp.r advanced from 9's to 61; Smelters from S S to 30 and th-i Str-el Issues about a point respectively. The chief fuson assigned for tho atrength in tho industrial was the very optimistic interview with Mr. Gary Iri which he is quoted as Baying that conditions in the steel and iron world does not warrant tho present 1 .pres.-don ; that their company Is doing as much busness as a yea: ago and tho Steel trust will continue to show excellent larnlngs for the hsca! quarter. Tho indisposition of Mr. II. it. Rogers did not affect the Copper share adversely as was generally expected. On tho contrary. It was construed as having no significance. Tho stock market in the late afternoon Increased in strength and activity with Northern Pacific forced into prominence by tlits persistent demand from many sources. A number of tho larger traders received word from important and influential interest in whom they had confidence that material rally was Jn prospect, acting on this Information these traders were aggressive buytr,8 all around the room. Union Pacific advanced from 128' to 129";; Northern Pacific from 129 to .131 Vi and the balance of tho standard rails ranged sympathetically higher. The Interstate commerce commission resumed its hearing of the Standard Oil case. There was, however, nothing of a sensational nature disclosed and ass a market factor was of small consequence.

The exchange was closed today to enable tho members and employ H'S to vote upon tho now charter. Liverpool markets wore quoted s8 lower. The gist of the gossip around the exchange was of a bullish tenor. The European crop report was bullish in the extreme. It is said to suggest a market decrease in tho production of all bread stuffs. Tho largest losses are expected to be shown in Germany, Hungary and tho Balkan countries. Opinions as to tho course of the market for the next few days are rather diversified. P.artlett, F. & C. are quoted as follows: "The steady increase In tho cash prices should be evidence enough to convince tho most skeptical of the genulness of tho foreign demand for our wheat." On th other hand, Logan & Bryan express tha following: "We would at least select a good break before buying wheat unles expert business Is greatly en'art,ed." Prlngle. Fitch and Rankin: "We think wheat is tending higher, Chicago Js the cheapest market in the country today and Is likely to bo the dearest in the end." Weather reports today indicate excellent weather for the growing corn crop; a few more such warm sun shiny days will almost place tho crop out of danger. Hulls on the corn market certainly have a great deal to contend with to maintain the present values in face of the glowing reports which are gradually coming to the surface. The cash situation of both corn and cats shows a weaker tendency. Tho export demand is not keeping apace with the speculative advance. The course of prk-es tomorrow will probably record slight declines. PRODUCE MARKETS. Butter Receipts. 6.494 tubs; extra creamerv.

HEARD ON BOURSE. Steel stocks were more in demand, while Copper and Smelters were weak after the early rally. The strongest stocks today were Northern Pacific, Union Pacific and Reading, but Union Pacific showed decided weakness towards the close. Generally speaking, we think good stocks can be bought on set backs, but should be sold again on rallies, as these fluctuating prices will be seen for pome time to come. Raymond P. & Co. and other houses credited with western connections were among the more influential sellers of United tSates Steel common in the early trading. Amalgamated seemed to run into rather good selling on any rally. C. D. Barney & Co. in particular sold something like ten thousand shares in the second hour's trading. I cannot help being bullish. Prices are low enough. Don't know about Copper, the metal looks bad of course. People who buy stocks ought to be prepared to let it go down somewhat. So little can be said on the market in general on account of the absence of the public, as also a good many people are still away, and prices at times are entirely professional, subject to the whim of the traders on the floor. Wormser, Jacob Field and other active floor traders were buying Union Pacific towards mid-day and C. B. McDonald, who sold early, also bought. Tho nwrkot appeared to have become professional. The street is expecting the announcement of another large failure the coming week. We believe stocks are a purchase on all drives, to hold, and that the tizne is not far distant when the bears will be punished. Ridgely. The market after showing some strength had quite a reaction at the opening, but good buying which nay have been only short covering made its appearance and a rally of from one to two per cent took place throughout the entire list. J. S. Bache says he considers the railroad stocks are thoroughly liquidated. He thinks industrials may work c. H. WANZER STOCK AND BOKO BRCUR.

lower, but considers the present prices discount a great many possibilities. The best feature, in his opinion, in the small amount of stock carried in the street. His house, like other of the more important firms, is carrying less stock for customers than at any time in years.

These stocks are paying fair dividends and deserve confidence based on respective merit. This is also true of many bond issues, but wa prefer a conservative policy as applied to the industrial list until these shares as a class have passed through a period which shall demonstrate the effect of the changing trade conditions and volume of business being offered. HUMOR STIRS WALL SI Pennsylvania and New York Central Roads Are Afraid; Guilty of Rebating. New York, Sept. 16. Wall street is much worried over the government's suit to dissolve the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, In which the hearing will begin tomorrow before Franklin Ferri3, special United States examiner. The announcement that Pennsylvania and New York Central officials have been subpoenaed to appear is tho principal cause of anxiety. It is believed tha't the disclosures will be even more sensational than those upon which Judge Landis' line of $29,000,000 was assessed. Humors Affect Stoek Market. The lawyers, it is said, will bring out all the facts concerning rebates that were rartially developed at the Jamestown (N. Y.) hearing, v.tiien it was pretty well established that both of these roads had been, guilty of rebating. There has been no. arrangement made for Immunity, it is said. 'The possibility of large fines caused heavy selling of both Pennsylvania and New York Central stock today. New York Central was well supported, but Pennsylvania closed at nearly the lowest price of the day. Immeiioie Fine In Prospect. The character of the evidence to be given was not made publlo today, but it was the subject of many sensational rumors. According to one story, the rebates that will be proved would cause fines of more than $30,000,000 to be Imposed. There was no confirmation of this story, but the bears used It with good effect. Standard Oil sold as high as 430 on Saturday, and at the close today the bid quotation was 419, a break of eleven points, comparatively little stock came out. It was generally believed thtt Stand ard Oil brokers were encouraging the declines to give the president and state officers throughout the country another object lesson to forco a change of policy toward the big corporations, and particularly the oil trust. JAP IS ACCLIMATED Yale Professor Elopes With American Affinity Whom He Met at Church. New Haven. Conn., Sept. 16. Professor Kanlchi Asakakwa of the department of Japanese civilization at Tale has become Americanized sure enough. Ho has eloped. He ran away with Miss Miriam C. Dingwall of New Haven and they were married last Thursday in Washington, D. C, where the event was recorded at the Jananese legation. This proceeding was to legalize the marriage in Japan, for Professor Asakawa evidently wishes to stand as much married there as in America. The couplo met when Asakawa was a student at Yale. He came to this country from Japan to enter Dartmouth and graduated in 1S99. Then he took a course at Yale, and in 1902 received the degree of Ph. D. As a Yalo student, Asakawa was also a good Methodist. He attended Grace church and there met Miss Dingwall. On receiving Us degree from Yale, Asakawa was appointed a professor at Dartmouth. It was the first professorship conferred on a Japanese in this country. He and Miss Dingwall did not meet again until a year ago last spring, when, Yale hiving bestowed a professorship on Asakawa, he came to New Haven to accept. The Asakawas will return here next Saturday, and the Wednesdav follow ing he will start as a professor of Yale at the opening of the term. He is SO years old; she two years his Junior.
