Especial TELEGRAM to the Globe. |

ISpeClal leleVrdiu 10 tue GlODe.
New YORK, Aug. 20.-The early dealings
were characterized by activity and a sharp
rise in several stocks, notably Union Pacific
and st. Paul. The first named sold above SO
during the first hour, and later at 5415, with
a big business in it. The bulls marked up
about everything on the list, and their
opponents were worsted at every turn. San
Francisco preferred rose to 42@. Yester-
day morning it was 35. Pullman scored
another advance, with good deal doing in
it. Erie dragged and was lower; the leaders
do not seem to take kindly to it. Telegraph
came to the front with sales some 2 per cent
above last ever lng's figures. The market
quieted down during the middle hours, and
many brokers were phophesying a reaction and
selling stocks. Omaha preferred settled
back from 100 to 9S4, and Missouri Pacific
from 95 to SO. The balance did not yield
much until the last hour, when some free
selling set in along the llne, and the result
was decline in all the leading stocks. Mr..
Gould's Missouri Pacific was kept very lively
all day with heavy transactions in it, and it
acted at times as though some one was un-
loading it. The market closed trine irreg-
ular, but in the main steady. The volume
Of business seems to be on the increase, and
the public are evidently buying stocks.
Said q prominent operator to-day: ''It is
pretty well understood that the advance in
stocks in the last ten days, which ranges
from to IL per cent, has been mainly the
result of manipulation. During the whole
of last week there was very little other cause
for tue advance in prices except the marking
up OF prices By the cliques and
the covering of the shorts. This
week the bull cliques have been reinforced
to some extent by those who had heretofore
been bears, and by an increased disposition
to speculate manifested in other cities. A
great many spectators who have not be-
lieved, and do not yet believe, that the gem
eral business and railroad situation warrant
the advance in prices, have recently bought
some stocks merely because they have real
lied the power of the cliques TO advance
prices

Coal Rates.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 20.-The Connells-
vile coke producers association decided to-
day to make no further restriction to the
output, as the report showed better con-
dition of affairs during July than the previous
month. No change was made in prices.
At meeting of the coal exchange this after
noon uniform rate of two and half cents
per bushel for mining in the first three pools
of the Monongahela river, and two cents per
bushel in the fourth pool, was unanimously
adopted. This is reduction Of one half
ceut in the wages offered by the operators
when the miners went out three months
ago, and one cent lower than the latter de
manded. Miners say the action taken to-
day win have no effect upon the strike, ex-
cept to make the men more determined, and
unless their demands are acceded to, they
will remain out three months longer.
Operators claim the ksnswha competition
and dull trade makes q reduction necessary.
The coal exchange also decided to petition
congress for of Monongehels
Navigation company, and to do away with
the present tax for lockage, which is so heavy
that they are unable to compete with lower
districts

averaged little higher on all articles and the
closing was about steady on all except lard,
which was only slightly lower. This article
closed steady and sc higher on the morning
board, but lost 711ac in the afterno oon. Sep
tember closed at s7.621l and October at
$7.7219. Ribs were quiet, but the feeling
was firm, prices advanced 15@20c, and
closed steady at $1,000 for September, an ad
vance of 30c over the last sales yesterday.
October closed at $10.2719, an advance

The cattle market was fairly active and
prices shade higher on about all sorts OF
cattle. Good natives were again scarce, yet
there seems to be about all that are wanted
at present, as the demand, although some
what more active than on Monday or Tues
day, is uncertain and limited. Sales of the
best natives were at So. 5006 go and second
class at S5.S0G6.25. There were large
number of common grass natives that were
too fat for stockers and too lean for butchers,
and they sold at ruinousy low figures Some
of these sorts, averaging 1,050 to 200, sold
as low as So.JU(oyt2O, anu WeTe uOt Wantcu

and they are 15@25c lower than last week.
Stockers and feeders were more plentiful
and lower, some very good feeders selling at
$3.75@39O.
There was more life in the hog market
and prices ruled 5Ql10c higher than on yes
terday. Packers, shippers and spectators
were liberal buyers, the market closing early
with about all sold. Sales were at S5.60@
6.65 for either assorted light or heavy, with
the bulk of the packing or mixed lots at
$6.45@6.90. Michigan and Indiana grass
stock was slow at S5.S0@6.00, and 25c to soc

The sheep marketwas dull and prices weak,
with at least half the receipts unsold at the
close.

Everybody has heard of the distracted man
who thought he had forgotten his watch, and
then took it out of his pocket to see IL he had
time to 20 back and get it. We rather suspect
this party in the picture must be a near relative
of his, as though the rain is pouring down
him, he actually forgets to raise his umbrella,
and SO escape wetting.
Our RED FIGURE SALE still continues.
There is no money in this sale for us, as we give
the profit, and sometimes more, to the customer
frequently selling goods at just about the cost to
manufacture; but then are satisfied, as it
turns our goods into money and gives us room for
our fall stocks. We have sold quite few suits
to parties who do not need them this summer at
all, but intend keeping them to wear next season,
and it was the best investment they could make,
too. Anything everything in summer Goods
that man or boy wears Except shoes) can be
bought at about so cents on the dollar during this
great Red Figure Sale.
