The following table shows the prices of active
stocks on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday.

HOME SECURITIES.
TWO STOCKS FURNIs H ALL THE BUS1
NESS AND FEATURES.

Philadelphia Gas Sells at IL Against About
80 Year Ago-A Boomlet In Luster
Mining Company-How Bulls and Bears
Are Pointing.
Room traders, rejecting the temper of in
vestors, were in no humor for trading yes
terday, and the stock calls were slow and
uninteresting. The only interests handled
were Philadelphia Gas and Luster. of which
240 shares changed hands. New York was
dull and barely steady, so Pittsburg had
good company.
Philadelphia Gas sold at 1lL and 11H, and
closed at IL bid-the lowest point of the sea-
son, and perhaps the lowest in its history.
At the beginning of last July it sold around
3OA. The mills were using gas at that time,
and the income was considerable. Now the
dependence is wholly upon private con-
sumption, and this being small, earnings are
less than ever before. This. with a divi-
dend out of the question, in conformity
with the policy of the company to devote
all their surplus to the extinguishment of
the debt, renders the stock unavailable for
speculation, and as it is not wanted for in
vestment, there is practically no market for
1t. A decline under the circumstances is
the most natural thing in the world. The
question OF supply is not involved nor does
the improved financial condition of the COM
pany count for anything in the absence of a
demand for the stock. The slumps will no
doubt be followed by reaction, as is usual
in such cases.
Good news must have been received from
the Luster mine, for the stock sold up to l233ss
against II on Saturday, and closed strong at
that figure bid. Insiders were the buyers.
This is q case in which reliable information
from the field of operation would be of great
benefit to the investing public, and until
it is forthcoming the promoters of the en-
terprise must expect casual and indifinite
reports to be received with several grains of
allowance.
Boatman's Insurance advanced to 80 bid.
Central Traction closed a fraction better
than the opening. The rest of the group was
neglected. Switch and Signal was shade
stronger, and so also was Underground
Cable.
Concerning stocks in general New York
authority says: "It is clear that the dispo-
sition to look very far into the future has
been chilled almost to the extent of paraly
values almost entirely upon existing condi-
tions which are still much affected by the
panic which prevailed at the close of last
year. Bulls now point with pride to the
small offerings and assert this is unmistaka-
BILE evidence that holders are easily able to
carry their stocks, while bears evade this,
which is not easily disproved, and point to
the slow decline that is taking place in bond
and stock prices and the absence of market
orders 10 buy as most practical negation of
the claims of the bulls.F
Sales on call yesterday were:
First call-No sales.
Second call-6O Philadelphia Gas at III,
40 at 111s.
Third call-3O Luster at 121l, 10 at 12sS.
Bids and asking prices at each call are
appended:

ELECTRICITY AND MATRIM0NY.
At the Present Rate the Current Will Soon
Be Doing Wonders in the Houses.


New York SUM-
Nov that the electrical dish washer, by
which child can do 10000 plates and cups
in dav, has been invented, that washing
and ironing and the scrubbing of floors and
windows may be accomplished by cleo
tricitv, and that ingenious man has in
vented a machine for the sewing on of but
tons and the incubator for the rearing of
infants, doubtless the noble institution of
marriage will be once more revived among
even advanced thinkers who wait only for
the conception and perfection of the cleo
trical spanker and the automatic arrester,
which, at the appropriate time, will propel
the husband home from his club in safety,
deposit him on his own stoop, instead of his
neichbor's, and control the vagaries of the
keyhole while he lets himself in.
The phonograph will be an important
feature of the marriage of the future, for
when wife is detained at her club past the
dinner hour, or is occupied with her duties
at the seat of civil government, the phono-
graphs button can be touched by the
waitress when she brings in the soup, and
the husband can hear all about the cook s
impertinence and Johnny's running away
water pipes have burst, that her bonnet
isn't fit for Christian woman to wear even
to sleep in, that the doctors bill is due,
that her mother is coming and the woman
across the way has new gown nicer than
any his wife ever had in her life, and
all the other little pleasantrles wherewith a
fond wife makes the dinner hour a per-
petual festival of hilarity to her tried
spouse.

1t is too early in the week for any new de.
velopments in this department of trade.
Sugars are very firm, especially soft whites,
which are scarce. All signs point to an ad.
vance in sugar. Coffees are steady, but the
outlook is for lower prices. The new coffee
crop, which is large, must inevitably bring
with it lower prices. Present prospects are
for higher priced sugar and lower priced
coffee.
