The movements in the general list up to P.
M. were generally in the upward direction,
though Louisville and Nashville was the only
stock which showed any decided strength.
Late in the day the Coal stocks became the
leading strong feature, and Delaware and
Hudson and Lackawanna made decided up
ward movement in the face of the weakness in
the rest of the list. The Vanderbilts also dis
played some strength during the afternoon,
and served to counteract the general declining
tendency of the list. The close under the in

The final changes of note among the active
stocks were advances of 2N in Delaware and
Hudson and per cent in Colorado Coal and
decline of 2H in Northern Pacific preferred.
Railroad bonds presented the same quiet
business with a generally firm tone and few
marked changes in quotations The sales OF

at Port Townsend this morning from Lor-
ing, brought the passengers and crew of
the steamship Ancon, which was lost on
the morning of August % in a gale. The
passengers and baggage were saved. The
vessel was broken in the middle and is a
total loss. The steamer Ancon, in getting
away from Loring, in Naha Bay, ran on
the rocks at A. M. Wednesday, August
%, stopping nearly amidships. Only a few
of the passengers knew of the accident
until near o'clock, when the boats were
lowered and launched.
Good order prevailed all the time among
the passengers and crew. In less than an
hour all were taken ashore without loss of
life or any accident. The steamer broke in
twain near the walking beam, thus be-
coming a complete wreck. The passengers
were quartered in a cannery and Indian
huts and cared for by the ships company,
as well as possible until Sunday, Septe M

CHICAGO, September 4.-The Senatorial
Committee was again disappointed to-day
by the non-appearance of the dressed beef
magnates. All they could do, therefore,
was to report the facts to the Senate. with a
view to having the matter placed in the
hands Of the District Attorney of Columbia,
and brought by him before the Federal
grand jury.
s'I have here a telegram" said Senator
Vest, "about which had desired to person.
ally ask Mr.. Armour had he appeared here.
1 intended In justice to do so before making
it public, but inasmuch as he has refused to
appear here, will now make him publicly
aware of its contents. It was sent to me by
gentleman about whose respectability
there can be no question"
FREELAND. PA, December IS, 1888
Can't allow Schwab to continue killing live

ments, and make the price so we can get his
trade. ARMOUR & Co.
The following was unanimously passed,
after which the committee adjourned:
WHEREAS, Philip Armour, Nelson Morris,
Louis F. Swift, Frank F. Vogel. J. 8. Newman
and Jacob Meyer, having been duly and law
fully summoned to appear as witnesses before
this committee have repeatedly refused to obey
the same, it is ordered that the facts be report
ed TO the Chairman of the Senate of the United
States at its next session in pursuance of chap
ter Z of the Revised Statutes of the United
States.
After this action had been taken a report
er called upon Mr.. Armour and asked for an
interview. Mr.. Armour thereupon made
the following statement: "The reason we
did not appear before the Senate Committee
was that we knew we could not expect fair
treatment from the hands of Mr. Vest, who is
notoriously on record as opposed to the
dressed beef business"

Dull Day Mt the Oil Exchange Profess
sionnls at Sea.
The oil market was unspeakably dull yester-
day, even the professional trading yielding to
the general apathy. The trouble seems to be
that there is nothing upon which to safely
build up the short interest. Cash oil was dealt
in very sparingly at about Nc below October.
The opening quotation, 9s1Ic, was the highest.
The lowest was 975sc and the closing 977sc.
Tuesdays clearings we're $40, 900 barrels.
A broker Remarked: 1.-The market is at sea,
and don't know what port it is making for.
1t may founder before reaching land 1t is in
bad shape. If things keep on as they are we
will have to go back to the old system. don't
know that that would do any good, but it
might induce some of the heavy dealers who
have left us to return. The real trouble is,
there is not enough oil to 60 around among all
the exchanges. 1t is impossible to make any
thing of a short interest under such conditions
and without it trade must languish."
