NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Evening
Posts London financial cablegram says:
Except for home rails and Argentines
which were firm, the stock markets here
were lifeless today. A further large sum
was borrowed from the Bank of England
today. Much interest Is felt as to the
probable announcement tomorrow by the
Indian council as to the resumption Of

lieved that they will be resumed. but very
gradually Americans opened dull on
newspaper criticism Of McKinley's mes
sage. one and all rejecting no great admi-
ration. Still. operations in Americans here
are now so small as to be scarcely affected.
As New York bought this afternoon the
market closed firm. Southern Railway pre-
ferred was strong on dividend rumors.
Mexican rails, which had risen sharply
on reports that freight rates were to be
raised by the government because Of the
fall in silver, relapsed ON the belief that
the government would not allow the value
of silver to influence the matter further.

Is quiet. although an occasional line is

but If the dealers would make concessions
large lines might be sold Australian wools

ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK. Dec 7.-Today's stock
market displayed noteworthy strength
throughout the day and the demand for
stocks was broader and more widely DIFF
fused through the hist than has been the
case IN long time There was hesitancy
at the opening. probably induced by the
lower prices from London, and stocks
which developed most aggressive strength
later showed small losses at the opening.
There was scramble of competing orders
In sugar, which carried the security up
Sk per cent In the first fifteen minutes Of
trading. 1t dropped two points almost as
quickly on offerings to realize. The largest
gains In the first hour were all In the spe-
cialties. 1t was not until the afternoon
that the strength of the railroad list be-
came aggressive and general the southern
and southwestern roads being most con-
spicuous and holding their gains most
firmly. Burlington advanced at cq,e time
point. but reacted before the close and
the Grangers and western stocks did not
compare favorably IN strength with the
southern region. which today began to feel
the influence of the remarkable showing
OF gains In gross earnings for the fourth
week In November. which have been re-
ported during the week by roads In that
region. Even Northern Pacific does not
respond as readily, although its preferred
stock gained q point net on fourth-week
statement that shows an increase I'M earn
ings over the corresponding week Of last
year Of $685. ITO. which is only shade less
than LEO per cent. The comparison. how
ever, Is with week Of not very large
earnings last year. Great Northern for
November showed am increase OF 1885,, 1888.
The market was helped also by the divi-
dend declarations announced today and
those in prospect The street was full OF
rumcrs regarding the dividend on sugar
but no authoritative announcement ac-
companied any of them. The action Of the
market reflected very distinctly the large
and aggressive operations Of manlpulative
combination. and there was very little OUT
side interest manifested In the stock d.
vision OF the market. London. besides mak.
Ing down prices before the opening hour. !.

OFFICE OF THE HERALD,
Los Angeles, Dec. Z, 1897.

Another great trust is being formed.
It h to be composed of the principal
piano manufacturers Of the country and
to include by absorption all of the 200
concerns making instruments. The capt.
: talixation, according to the New York
. World, has been placed at $4,000, 900,
and the wise men Of the trade have
picked out w. w. Kimball Of Chicago.
or Alfred Dodge Of New York, as the
president. The greatest secrecy has been
observed as to the huge combine. but
the several facts concerning 1t have
become known in the west, where ex-
perts, working under the direction Of the
promoters, have visited various fac
( tories, gathering figures and outlining
. the combination idea. It ID said that
matters have proceeded so far that two
or more leading bankers in this country
ana Europe have given the scheme ia
vorable consideration. Some idea Of the
, magnitude Of the proposed enterprise Is
gained when 1t Is known that recently,
just after the death Of William Stein
way, an English syndicate offered
e5,Ooo.o00 for the steinway plant, and
was told that the figures were not high
enough. The Chickering plant, in Bos-
ton, covers two entire city blocks and
employs enough workers to make small
city. The Sohmer factory IL also very
large.
Several attempts have been made DUR
ing the past six years to bring the plano
Industry into line with the numerous
other great industries that have be-
come trusts. Alfred Dodge was the
prime mover in former schemes. He has
spent years working up the details Of
his great plan. and is probably the only
man In the trade having sufficient
ability and capital for such an UNDER
taking. He Is by far the largest manu.
facturer Of piano supplies in the coun
try.

THE INVESTOR
CONDUCTED A.

Friday at the request of Winslowe, Lam
Ter & Co. of New York, who deposited
half million dollars Of gold to effect it.
= \ +
A dispatch from Paris says that, ac-
cording to the official returns, the last
vintage amounts to 81. .000. 900 hectolitres.
This is q falling of of IL, 200. 900 hectoli-
tres from the vintage Of 1896, and Is be-
low the average of the previous ten years.
A reform in life insurance methods is
wanted. according to the Louisville
Courier journal. which says: The in
surance press is beginning gently to hint
that the big life companies, instead of
advancing premium rates to policy hold
ers because of the reduced earning power
OF their Investments, should cut agents
commissions and quit carrying the first
years business Of new risks at the ex-
pense Of the old. A good suggestion. II
the cost Of insurance were not too high
there would not be such extravagances
in management as have been proved
against some OF the companies.
=
The Call gives the following particu-
lars of rather remarkable and ambi-
tious attempt at company promotion. 1t
says: Letters preliminary to the incor-
poration Of an organization known as
1.-THE Credit Foncier" were filed in the
county clerks Office yesterday. The OBJ
ject, as set forth in the articles. is to
carry on a credit and banking business
In San Francisco. The incorporators

othy J. Lyons. George O'Berne. e. J.
Gallagher and Francis A. Quinn. The
capital stock ID set down at $5,O00,000,
with $4,000 subscribed. The originator
and mover OF this new Incorporation is

pies the position and carries the honor
of being queens counsel for the Do
minion, as also commissioner Of in
sanity. Three of the directors are San
Francisco residents, viz: Deasy, Lyons
