THE STOCK MARKET.
Central Pacific the Only Big Feature
OF the Railway List

OF the Railway List
New York, Sept. 23.-Apart from the
trading in the industrial shares, there
was little TO record of the days stock
market. The dealings in Sugar Rein
ing. American Tobacco, Peoples Gas, and
the Cotton Oil shares were fairly large,
and in those cases the fluctuations were
wide; but in the railway list there was
little movement, and the changes there
were of the same erratic character that
they have been during the week. The
only conspicuous feature of the railway
list was Central Pacific, which advanced
sharply. Following the settlement of the
debt to the Government, II is expected
that Central Pacific will engage in an
extensive refunding arrangement, as the
road has some $50, ,OO0, 600 prior lien bonds,
maturing shortly, bearing per cent
This viii doubtless account for the ac-
tive trading today.
The heavy trading in Sugar Refining
and American Tobacco was based upon
the same matters affecting those stocks
that have been exploited for some time
this year. Nothing new in respect to
either property came to light today. Peo-
pies Gas stock rose quite rapidly upon
the announcement that the long-standing
controversy with the Indiana Fuel Gas
Company had been satisfactorily set
tied but the full extent of the advance
was not maintained The strength of
the Cotton Oil shares was attended by re-
ports that the annual statement would
show larger earnings applicable to the
common stock, in addition TO which it
was pointed out that the company has
maturing in 1900 IS. .O6S 600 debenture bonds
bearing per cent interest.
Foreign houses traded on a small scale
on both sides Of the local market, but
their dealings We're too light in volume
to affect prices. The granger shares and
the Pacific stocks moved within only
fractional limits. Throughout the day
there was more or less restriction on
trading in the expectation that the bank
statement would show a further loss in
surplus reserve, but the money market
was easy in tone.

Prices held their own in the stock mar
ket yesterday, and even had some ad-
vance, but that was the only good item
in the situation. The market was dull
and professional and the advance was
not as good as many had expected from
the bull news OF various kinds The
money market was decidedly easier in
New York, but the hardening tendency
in London tended to check the effiux OF
gold from that center. The situation
in China also had a tendency TO repress
speculation in London, and there was
almost no foreign business yesterday.
A better bank statement is expected to-
day, but II is difficult to forecast in this
respect. The bulls of the market are
now saying that the advance expected
yesterday has only been deferred to to-
day or to early next week. and that the
market viii be strong for some time 10
