ACTIVE BUT WEAK.
Railroad Shares Traded in More Freely
but Mt the Expense of VaIues-Raid
on the Sugar Trust-Grangers
Forced Of-Final Figures
show Fractional


Declines.
NEW YORK, September 24-There was lit
tie more animation in the stock marker to-day,
but it was entirely at the expense of values,
and outside of less than half dozen stocks
of the regular list and the two trusts there was
even less business done than at any time since
the activity ceased couple of weeks ago
There is almost nothing doing in the market by
commission people, and the room traders are at
present interested in the Louisville and Nash.
vile, the Northern Pacifes and one or two
others, and these stocks to-day monopolized by
far the greater portion of the business done.
p Advantage was taken early in the day of the
apathy of both London and all domestic inter
ests to raid the list, though for the entire fore
noon the attack was confined principally to
Sugar Trust and the price of that stock was
hammered down from l0l5 at the opening to
a71S, against 1925 last evening The movement,
as was natural, attracted great deal of atten-
tion, and considerables speculation was INDUCED
in as to where the pressure came FROM but
large stop orders were met at about par and,
the selling was generally attributed to insiders
TheAdecline was met by the rumor which
seems to have some foundation, that the COM
pany would apply to the stock Exchange TO
fave its certificates placed upon the regular
list submitting its sworn statement Of its
standing and complying with the rules of the
Exchange.
A rally to SO followed, and at that figure the
stock closed. When the rally in sugar came
the traders turned their attention to the rest of
the regular list, and Louisville and Nashville,
Missouri Pacific and the Grangers, which had
been comparatively well held up to that time,
were forced of, and materially lower prices
reached all around, but in most of the list the
depression was for small fractions only. Among
the l6w-priced shares and theinactive list some
wide fluctuations were scored and Cameron
Coal, which SO lately sold around 30 and yester.
day at TO- was quoted at 3, and, rising to 8, fell
back again to the opening figure
Allsupport seems to have bsen withdrawn
from the property, and though the compauy's
furnace is said to be earning a big profit from
day to day, the company, it is said, is embar-
rassed for want of ready cash. Alton and Terre

THANKS FOR FORAKER.

Chairman McCreery Writes the Governor
Nice Letter.
Chairman William McCreery, Of the
Pittsburg Relief Committee, sent the fol-
lowing letter to Governor Foraker, which
the latter received yesterday:

knowledge the kindness Of our friends in that
most terrible calamity, your timely aid In

AGAIN In THE RUT.
Very Little Doing I'm Local Stocks--Another
Drop in Philadelphia.

There was very little vim in the stock market
yesterday, and the proceedings possessed little
interest for outsiders. There are orders for
most of the favorites, but great care is being
exercised in filling them so as not to start an
upward movement The sales were 2O6 shares,
including a membership.
Philadelphia Gas continued its downward
career under the adverse influences of short
supply and rumored reduction of dividend. 1t
opened with small sale at 85sz, followed by
one of 100 shares at 95ssS In the afternoon it
receded to 351I, closing with 35ss bid. There
were more buyers and sellers at these figures.
There were no changes of importance in the
rest of the list
The sale of a membership at 440 is one un.
favorable commentary on the condition of
business at the Exchange With one exception
it is the lowest price at which a membership
has been sold since the occupation of the
present building. During a temporary furry
growing out of personal differences about five
wears ago two OF three seats were disposed of
for 80 Last winter they were up to 700. Soon
after .he change of quarters Captain Wander
grift disposed of the most of his stock at LOO.
The number of memberships floating around is
about 150

A Fish Famine.

~ An unusual scarcity of fish in our markets is
reported Dy dealers, owing to late storms along
the Eastern coast. Said one Of the leading
dealers in Diamond Market to-day: II have
not known such a scarcity in the past five
years. and find it utterly impossible to meet
the demands of my customers For a day or
two past some dealers here have been entirely
out of fish. We have been doing our best to
get supplies. and thought yesterday we would
be relieved before night. But there is not yet
half enough to go round. i took an inventory
of fish on Diamond Market stalls yesterday
morning. and found five herrings. two suckers
and a white fish on one stall; haddock and
cod fish on another, and another was entirely
bare. The whole amount In the hands of all
our dealers was not enough to meet demands of
tirst-class restaurant for single day."
Potato Prospects.
There is no article in country produce lines
concerning which there is a greater diversity of
news among commission men than potatoes
Some claim that prices will 60 TO 81 a bushel,
while others hold that 81 barrel will be the
outside price this season. 1t is fact that the
yield throughout this region of country has
fallen much below the expectations of month
or two ago. The rot has very much lessened
the output in the section around Pittsburg.
But against this fact stands the other that
reports from the Northwest indicate a bounti-
full yield The situation of two wears ago,
when we were compelled to bring potatoes
from ireland to supply Pittsburg markets. is
not likely to be repeated this season. The
scarcity of the past week has already been re-
heved, and the upward drift has been arrested.
We have big country, and, from present ap-
pearances, there will be no potato famine in
the land.
A Liberty street commission merchant, who
lew days ago was inclined to be bullish on
potatoes, reported to-day full supplies and
weaker markets, with good prospects of plenty
from Indiana and Michigan.

Few Longs Attempting to Get Out sours
Petroleum.

The oil market opened with prices below the
dollar line yesterday, and they stayed there.
The fluctuations were next to nothing, and bus
iness was below zero. The indirect cause of
the weakness was said to be fear of several
wells about due at Jefferson Center. The di-
rect cause, however, was the attempt Of a few
longs to get out. The opening and highest
quotation was 99ss; the lowest and closing $50.
A broker remarked: Neither side can do

stuff keeps them from i creasing their interest.

OFFICE OF PTTTsBURG DISPATCH,

The situation in hides and leather has not
materially changed in the past few weeks
Light hides and calf skins. are weak,
and heavy hides are stationary in price. a
leading jobber thus puts the situation: Il
have never seen the time when butt hides
were as low in this market as they are at
this time, and have been familiar with the
trade here Tor 20 years or more. The same
is true of calf skins. In 1877 and 1888 heavy
hides went about as low as they are now"
Harness leather rates at about lc higher than
it did in June and July but is still lc lower than
at this time year ago. The season for harness
leather is about over, and dealers have gen.
orally laid in stock for fall trade. There is no
prospect of an advance before January ], and
until then jobbers are likely to pursue the
hand-to-mouth policy. Our Allegheny tanneries
are well sold up, but unless things change stock
will accumulate in the next month or two. A
represenlativ of the largest harness leather
taunery said to-day: "0ur August trade this
year was far ahead of the same month last year
in volume, but profits were very small" Fol-
lowing are prices, as furnished by James Cal

DOG LAW.

Mr.. EDIToR-I have paid my dol
lar to have my dog tagged, and he
is tagged; but l cannot understand
why it is that 1 see 80 many dogs
about without collars or tags. / can
count up six in my neighborhood,
exclusive of about as many more visi-
tors upon my dog, without, tags. It
would seem as though the city mar
shall was not doing his duty. In
justice to those who hive paid their
dog tax claim that the dog Law
shoeid be enforced or stricken off,
thus relieving those who paid the
tax from an unjust burden through
no enforcement of the law. The
law should be strictly enforced or il
imposes a hardship upon a minority
of the dog owners. A law enforced
as this one has been is a shameful
imposition upon those who have
paid this tax. Let US have a strict
enforcement of the law, for it is a
good one. | am
