NEW YORK MARKETS.

NEW YORK, n. V, Sept. 20.-The railway and
miscellaneous speculation very irregular to-
dav. At the opening the market was strong, ow-
ing to slightly lower sales of sterling exchange, a
belief that but little gold would be forwarded to
Europe tomorrow, and, finally, TO an impression
that the Trunk line and Central Traffic Associa-
tions at their meeting to-day would form a new
organization to-day for the better maintenance of
rates and the reduction of expenses This caused
general advance OF "A to 15S per cent and at the
top notch there considerable covering of
shorts. The stocks most prominent in the early
rise were the Changers, SouthWeSterns, Anthracite
Coalers, Louisville and Nashville. Tennessee Coal
and Iron. The railway list held its advance pretty
well and, q rule prices closed rs to 11s per cent
higher on the day.
The indus. rails were active and feverish through
out. Tobacco opened at 1O4@10234, $500 shares
changing hands at those figures right at the start
The stock then broke TO SO and rallied 10 10114@
10012 The break the result of the denial of
the rumorS current yesterday that truce had been
arrived 81 between the trust and its rivals Chicago
Gas bounded up 7112 in the first hour, then set
party are outspOken bulls on the property and
heavy buyers again to-day. The rise, however,
brought out long stock and the afternoon decline
was partly due to this selling: Sugar rose 12 TO
10S34 and dropped to 1047s91O55s. In account
ing for the break in this STOCK and the comparative
weakness Of Chicago Gas near the close ii was said
the principal selling for the account Of a dar-
ing plunger who has lost lot Of money lately in
the market.
The rumor could not be confirmed. General
Electric Leather and Lead were notably firm. In
the last hour the general list was shade easier,
vanced fraction. This led TO rumors Of heavy
gold shipments next week. To-morrows ship
ment will be only $4,000. The industrials made
net losses on the day OF rs TO 25s per cent. Gen
