NEW YORK MARKETS.

NEW YORK, \. Y, Sept 23-StOcks ruled
strong today owing to general belief that the
gold shipments over for the season. The state
ments by Lazard Freres 20 this effect and the in
crease in the supply OF commercial bills, while
slight, tend TO confirm this theory. The favorable
report of the Northwest roads for August and
rumorS OF ano her advance in the price of anthra-
cite coal also assisted the upward movement. Lon
don, which has been more or less Indifferent
bought some st. Paul, but in the late ira ding
parted with some Atchison ana Reading, which,
however, were quickly absorbed.
Business during the early session quite
active, and the Improvement in the usually prom
inent stocks which ranged from IA to per cent,
was well distributed. The greatest gains however,
were in the specialties and industraIs. Panhandle
preferred rose 312 to 6012 on reports that divi-
dendS will be resumed shortly. The industrials,
however. were the most active Sugar Chicago Gas
DiStiing and Cattle Feeding having figured for
Il, 200: 81 200 and 29,500 shares respectively.
Sugar opened IS higher at l07. rose TO l09ss and
q sed at 1925. For long time the bears the
stock have been dwelling the poor business of
the company, and have been selling the stocks
steadily. In the meantime the concern has been
gradually raising the price OF refined, and to-day
announced another advance.
Some of the smaller bears became alarmed at
this and started in 10 cover, and the rise noted
above followed. Chicago Gas another strong
spot, and moved up from 691s to 71I49713
Rumor had 1t that ex-governor Flower VIII be
prominent in the directory OF the company when
reorganized in conformity with the laws of Illinois,
Distilling and Cattle Feeding more active. and
