SILK DRESS GOODS AT AUCTION.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK. Oct. 24.-Following close upon
the remarkable sale of regatta silks at the auc-
Wllmerdinp &
comes the announcement that the Phoenix man.
ufacturing company are to offer an agyregate of
3175 pieces OF silk dress goods at auction on
Wednesday,. October %. Field, Chapman &
unprecedented in the history of the country.
The safe indicates slow demand for silk. IN
der reigning fashions regatta silks were at very
fair prices, but the total offering in that case
was only 1899 pieces. 1t remains to be seen how
well the market can absorb thrice that quantity.
Trade throughout the country has been spe-
ess the gathering will embrace represen tatives
from all the large houses. Meanwhile the rea-
sons for the sale and its probable outcome are
the talk of the dry goods districts.
GOVERNMENTS STOCKS AND BONDS
New YORK, Oct. 24.-The list in the stock
market was held comparatively steady in the
forenoon, but dispatch from Chicago in re-
gard to Union Pacific and Changers was the
signal for q combined attack upon the stocks of
those roads, and material losses were sustained
by all OF them. A vigorous rally in sugar how
ever, brought the regular list along with it.
especially money rates were easier late in the
day, and in most of the list early losses were
about recovered, Union Pacific alone proving
sluggish.
Final trading was large, and strong tone
prevailed in all portions OF the list, the close
being active and strong. Final changes of the
day show majority Of losses, but they are
generally confined to fractional amounts, but
Uuion Pacific is down l1sc.
Railroad bonds-Dull and steady.
s;d2fRsrnment bonds-Dull but firm.
