New York, Sept 25.-The railway and
miscellaneous share specula ton, after an
irregular and rather ragged opening, be-
came strong under the leadership of the
1ndustrials. Sugar, Tobacco, Distillers
and Chicago Gas were in particularly good
request and advance anywhere from l2g
2Ss per cent. Sugar rose to 1885; Tobacco
TO IA; DlStillerS TO 25k and Chicago Gas
10 los. The last named subsequently re-
coded to 69l4U70. The buying of Sugar
was caused by further advance of Lice
per pound in refined. Tobacco was
strengthened by reports that settlement
OF trade troubles was imminent. The rise
IN Disttllers was due TO rumOrs from Chi
cago that the Greenhut- Morris outfit had
made their peace with the present insiders.
The engagement of $l,O00.000 gold for
shipment to Germany tomorrow had an
adverse effect for a time. The belief is
that the gold is intended for Austria and
that the shippers viii forward additional
amounts later in the week. Leading bank
ers are paying little attention TO this
movement and are devoting their time TO
placing of new loans. To-day 1t was an
nounced that Harvey, Fisk q Sons and
others had formed a combination TO pur-
chase Sl5.000,0OO Erie new First Consol.,
prior men, per cents, from the under
writing syndicate. That a good demand
prevails for trst-class securities is clear
ly illustrated by the sale by Vermyle &
Co to-day of 100000 bonds of the Lee
high. The books were open for subscrip-
tions { 10 o'clock and before the close of
the day the issue had been over subscrib-
ed. The Changers were quiet and rather
firm. Vice President Bond of. St. Paul
said To-Day that earnings of his company
from now on Will increase every week
and the earnings of the year will he the
largest in the history of the company.
The Anthracite Coalers were stronger
on the announcement that all the leading
companies had advanced prices % cents
per ton at western points. Speculation
closed firm. New changes show gains of
u to 212 per cent on the day. Bonds were
higher. Sales were $l,07l, 600 the sales OF
listed stocks aggregated 223 900 shares, ana
of unlisted stocks 1900 shares.
