NEW YORK, Sep. L-There was nothing in
the news this morning, either foreign or do
mestic, to cause any change in the temper OF
the stock speculation, and the advices of the
day were of a uniform character from bull
point of view. Nevertheless, the prices made
in London this morning before the opening
of the Stock Exchange here were materially
lower than our figures of last evening, and
the opening of this market was made in
sympathy with the lower prices on the other
side. bringing losses, which extended in the
active shares to l per cent. The London
cables, however, reported heavy selling by
houses with American connections, and the
explanation of the lower figures was readily
seen to be manipulation from this side.
which was continued with vigor in the early
dealings here.
To-day's operation was only a repetition of
Ihe old programme, and the concessions
brought about by the manipulation referred
to were not only recovered in the later deal
ings, but fractional advances were scored
all along the line, and in some instances
material gains we're retained at the close of
business. Offerings were readily absorbed,
and when the buying power was reinforced
in the afternoon prices moved up in many
cases sharply.
Among the features of the early dealings
was che strength manifested by the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie stocks, and the advantage
gained at that time was held throughout the
| day. The apparent foreign selling was
aimed specially at Union Pacific and Louis
| vile and Nashville, and those two stocks
were depressed more than any others in the
| active list, the losses at the lowest point
| being 2L and per cent respectively. These
were recovered later In the day, but each
closed with large fractional loss for the
| day. On the other hand, the Grangers, in
Guiding Atchison, were heavily traded in
and displayed marked strength without
! securing any material Improvements, as
| also did the Wizards.
The general list was less active than yes
terday, and notwithstanding the activity
| in the leading shares the total business done
falls far short of that of yesterday. The
rally in the afternoon reached all portions
of the list, but professional realizations in
the last hour prevented the best figures
being maintained at the close. which, how
ever, was firm and active. The final changes
are about equally divided between the gains
and losses OF small fractions, but the Wheel

CREAMERY CORNERED.
CHICAGO DEALERS GOBBLE UP ALL

OFFICE OF PITrsBURG DTsPAToH,I
TUESDAY. Sept. l.
COUNTRY PRODUCED Jobbing prices)-
Advices from Elgin indicate no advance in
creamery butter. But, in fact, there was
an advance of &c per pound over last Mon
days prices. Chicago dealers gathered in
all available goods and reqnire &c royalty.
Certain it is that Pittsburg buyers are COM
PEELED to pay &c per pound more than was
demanded a week ago. There is not little
complaint of the Ohio creamery butter COM
ing to our market of late that it tastes of
rag weed. The same is charged against
Wisconsin creamery. Choice grades of Elgin
are free from this objection, and there is
little doubt that we will have SOC market
before the week is out. New York cheese is
relatively lower here than at sources of sup
ply, and prices promise to advance. Eggs
are also on the advance, markets being
quoted as high in Chicago as here. Vegeta-
bIes are still in abundant supply, and mar
kets favor the buyer. Tomatoes, cabbage,
cucumbers and sweet potatoes are part1cu-
larly dull. Supply of peaches fell below ex-
pectations to-day and markets are firmer.
Other fruits are dull and SLOW bananas are
in supply far beyond wants of trade, and
with the great abundance of domestic fruit,
are poor stock at present.
