Although the stock market was not as strong
throughout as yesterday, 1t WAS broader. and In
spite of a reactionary tendency in a number of
stocks, the tone was very firm. The speculation

tho epidemic has made Ito appearance
very late in tho season, and according

handling the disease arc 90 nearly perfect

groundless. The appearance Of tho epidemic is,
however. a good enough reason for a bear cam

There was realizing of profits in tho Wander

The market for the Northern Pacific stocks was
favorably affected by the belief that the Attor.

presumably because the unfounded rumor that
has been current here for some thle tneS tho

trust has reached London. Sugar henning was
materially lower than yesterday on light trans.

The statement OF tho foreign trade of the
United States for August is unusually interest
ing, showing an excess OF exports over imports
Of nearly SAL, 900, 900. As compared with last
year the excess Of exports over imports is S2l,'
s2l. 600 larger. For tho eight months ending
Aug. 81 the excess OF exports was nearly %
millions. or nearly l4io millions less than
for the corresponding period Of last year; and,
40 these figures include only a very small part
OF the current and prospective crop movement,
thcy are obviously regarded as being unusually
satisfactory. The tendency OF the foreign cX-
change market is steadily toward a lower level.
As imports OF specie are inevitable, 1t makes
comparatively little difference in tho present
situation when they begin.
The Bay State Gas Company OF Delaware has
notified the Stock Exchange Of an increase Of

still q subject Of litigation. Dealings in tho
stock are permitted in the unlisted department
Of the Exchange, and in consequence neither

italization and operations OF the company. Until
o few months ago J. Edward Addicks OF Della.
ware was President of the company, but, owing
TO dissensions among tho security holders. he
resigned In favor OF Mr.. John r. Bart.
lett of this city. who was elected with
out his knowledge, and who declined
! the office after investigating the affairs Of the
| company. The increase in the company's cap
| italization announced to-day was preceded by
rumors yesterday that a large Illegal or fraudu,
lent issue OF stock had been made. These re-
ports were possibly based upon the allcga'
| lions in tho litigation referred to above,
In view of this and other unpleasant
incidents that have impaired the useful
ness of the unlisted department OF the Stock
Exchange. 1t would seem to be the part OF wis
dom for the management of the Exchange tc
