Financial Notes.
John j. Pinkerton, Esq, the well known
attorney of Westchester, was on Change to-
day, the guest of his brother, Mr.. S. S. Pink
erton.
Trading in the fractions was very heavy
off 'Change to-day, and as a whole it was
one of the busiest days the brokers have ex-
perienced in many moons.
The statement in the Duquesne's report
to the State that its capital of S3,UOO,0OO was
all paid in must be an error.
After the close there were sales of Phila-
deIphia Company considerably above the
closing quotations.
b, Barbour, J. Carothers, Sproul & Co.,
W. r. Thompson & Co. and Lawrence & Co.
were the sellers OF Duquesne to-day, and
Hill & Co., II. ri. Long, B. Forst and B. F.
Arensberg were the purchasers.
The trading in P. 6 B. was pretty well split
up Kuhn Bros. and Lawrence & Co., how
ever, we're the heaviest buyers, and s. s..
Pinkerton. Hill & Co. and j. b. Barbour were
probably tine heaviest sellers.
Hill & Co. sold Philadelphia Company to
Lawrence & Co., Sproul & Co. and McCutch-
con.
burg traction to Hill s. Co.
j. J. Campbell bought Lustre from Kuhn
Bros, Hill & Co. and Fred Rinehart.
The current lldllOudl Dhuk STATEMENTS III
dicate that deposits decreased about 10 per
cent since the last previous report.
The Bell Telephone Company has declared
n regular dividend of So per share and an
extra dividend OF So per share.
From Oakley s. CO.'S market letter. Lin
seed oil advanced on rumor that the COM
pany would be merged into the National
Lead Company, negotiating going on, and
if this deal is effected more Lead stock
wouId have TO be issued, which would i'll
turn affect the market price of lead. The
sterling exchange market remains very
strong, indeed, but it is impossible to say
whether any gold will go OUT on Saturday;
If not, the bankers tells us that as much
gold will go out next week as was shipped
this week. II these predictions OF exports
are correct money will surely tighten, and
this will affect stock speculation.
At auction in Philadelphia yesterday $50
p. C., c. & St. l.. scrip sold at 3I3z and two
shares OF the preferred stock at go.
