The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1897-09-28

FORM Oh yellow FEVER, or whatever the cpl
demic may be, that has appeared at several
Southern points, has not seriously affected the
volume of business in the Southern States. The
figures referred to forcshadow an enormous
traffic as soon as cool weather allays fears re-
garding the extension of tho epidemic.
The most extensive trading was in Sugar Re-
filming, 81. Paul, Chicago. Blu lington and Quincy,
Rock Island, Northern Pacific preferred and
Union Pacific. All of these, except Rock Island,
closed materially higher than on Saturday.
Noteworthy progress toward a higher level was
also made by n number of stocks that were less
extensively dealt in, including Chicago Great
Western. Chesapeake and Ohio. Omaha. Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas issues, Missouri Pacific. |
Pittsburg, Chicago, Cincinnati and st. Louis,
Consolidated Gas. Reading issues and Tennessee
Coal and Iron. The closing was strong at small
fractional recessions from the best prices.
Final sales compare with those OF Saturday as
