NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.


NEW YORK, August 23.-Speculation
at the Stock Exchange broadened to-day.
and the tendency was i'm the direction Of
Improvement. The Industrials were less
prominent In the dealings. although with
the exception of Chicago Gas they main
tanned their recent gains. This was not
considered unflvorable, however, for
the reason that the Nanderoit
stocks forged to the front, ana
for the first time in months were
the real leaders Of the market. The ac-
tivity developed in these issues impaired
a firmer tone to the dealings, and lei
TO heavy purchases for both accounts.
Burlington and quincy really started
to-day's rise. the stock having opened
81 per cent higher. at 1874. This fright
ened the shorts. and their purchases re-
suited in n further rise 10 1S This unex-

A SUPPOSED WRECK.
PROMINENT SAN PEDRO MEN 1T
is FEARED ARE LOST.
Anxiety Felt for the Safety of Post
master Dodson, N. o. Ander-
son, Captain Smith and
Mr.. Brant,

Much excitement prevails at San Pc.
dro over the supposed loss by drowning
OF party of four citizens who left that
harbor last Saturday in the aloop Leone,
bound for the San Nicolas island.
The party consisted OF Postmast
James II. Dodson, N. o. Anderson, q
business man, laborer named Brant
and Captain Alexander Smith, who was
in charge of the sloop. 1t was the in
tention of the gentlemen to spend q
week ON the cruise, and no one would
ever have had suspicion Of an accident
had not squall risen on the second day
out.
The report says that on Sunday pass
ing steamer sighted the sloop. which
seemed in distress. The steamer spoke
the small vessel, which lay to off Point
Dune, between Port Los Angeles and
Redondo. The signal OF no help needed
was given. and steamer passed on.
Shortly afterward terrific gale arose
and the waves ran mountain high. Il
was cloudy nearly the whole day along
the coast, and the wind blew a hurri-
cane toward evening. The officers of
the steamer, so the story goes, say it was
impossible for any boat the size OF the
Leone to have withstood such q storm,
and gave it out that the sloop and all
her crew must have gone down.
The Btrangest part Of the story ia that
no one seems to know the identity of
the steamer which passed the Leone
and her party, or il they do they keep
it quiet-on the faint hope that there
might not have an accident.
The citizens of San Pedro became
alarmed yesterday, and sought boat in
which to make search for wreoksge in
ths vicinity where the sloop WAS seen
last. Customs Inspector Del Vale dis.
patched boat at once to the scene,
leaving Port Los Angeles yesterday
afternoon. Up to late hour last night
no word had been heard from the search
ing party, and it may be days before tn 9
fate of the missing sloop and her pas
Bengers is determined.
