The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-12-03
TALK OF WALL STREET.

A favorable prospective feature is the
likelihood of no gold exports from here next
spring, due to heavy accumulatons Of ex-
change now.
The Omaha has earned a dividend on COM
mon stock and many directors expect a divi-
dend, probably small, will be declared in
January The surplus for the stock for the
year will be in excess Of $500,O00, which will
be enough to pay 21s per cent. The Wander
bilt contingent is bullish on Omaha and
higher prices are predicted for it. Burling-
ton will probably get above so on this rally.
Omaha gross increase, $726,524 for year to
date; last years surplus, after dividend on
Earnings for Northern Pacific, third week
Of November, decrease, $97, 942; from July 1,
decrease, $S5,533.
ANTHRACITE POOL.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The agreement en-
tered into on Feb. l of this year by the presi-
dents OF the anthracite coal mining and carry
ing companies, at the instance of powerful
financial interests, will expire nominally on
Jan. l, 1897. At the time of the agreement
however, it was arranged that the contract
would run on subject to thirty days notice
from any interest. There is the best authority
for the statement that no notice of with
drawal has been fled and that none will be.
The companies for the first time in the his
tory Of the anthricite trade, kept faith with
each other absolutely, and all interested looked
confidently for the banner year of the in
dustry. The well-laid plans were, however,
nullifed to a very large extent by the con-
tinued depression in general business dis
turbances in the money market and anti-elec-
ton agitation. The first six months of the
trade were very poor, as the agreement did
not really become operative until June and
the tonnage for the year, as compared with
1895, will show a heavy falling off. Recently
business has been very light, more particu-
larly at tide water, where prices with the
single exception of chestnut which has been
in fairly good demand have been and are now
being cut twenty-five cents below the nominal
September circular. Trade is now improving
under the stimulus Of the colder weather, but
of1cials OF the various companies agree that
the best that can be expected in the present
month is to get up to the September figures.
