FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.


TUESDAY. Dec. q.
The view OF the Presidents message OK
pressed In English newspapers and by dealers
on the London Stock Exchange resulted in a
strong market for stocks at the opening this
morning. The improvement In prices. however.
encountered further profit taking. and In con-
sequence the carly advance was not maintained.
The reaction was short-llved. for q fairly active
demand Tor stocks developed at the decline. All
OF tho ianthractto coal shares advanced sharply
under the lead Of Delaware and Hudson. This
movement was accompanied by reports that
important changes In the management and In
the relations Of the anthracite coal carrying
roads will take place after the 1rst OF che year.
TIL dealings in the stocks referred to were not
extensive: still. tho suggestion that the an
thracite industry may bo placed upon a'moro
profitable basis than for a long time past was
not without effect upon the entire list.
Other strong features OF the speculation we're
American Tobacco. Chesapeake and Ohio. o.,
c.. @. and st. Louis. Metropolitan Street Rail-
way, Northern Pacific common, Central Pacific
and Pacific Mail. Tho only stocks that were
conspicuously weak we're Sugar Refining and
Consolidated Gas. The selling Of the frst
named indicated that the declaration OF the
~usualguuarterIy dividend had been discounted.
An advance OF an eighth OF q cent n pound in
the price OF refined sugars had no effect
upon tho market for the stock. Although
the market was narrower than for som time
past. It showed n degree OF nrmness that was
most encouraging to the advocates OF higher
prices. Tho bond market was also strong
throughout. though tho dealings were some
what smaller than yesterday. The closing In
both departments. owing to the absence OF any
pressure to sell and the presence OF a steady
demand for securities from actual buyers. was
strong!

Uncle Sam is good farmer and he
keeps close watch over the condition
OF his crops. The government weekly
summary OF crop conditions is as fol-
lows:
The week ending September 10, 1898,
on the whole has been generally favor
able, except in portions OF New Eng
land, Pennsylvania. New Jersey and
Maryland, where the drought condi-
lions previously reported continue,
while in Mississippi, Southwestern
Texas and some sections Of Kansas and
Missouri heavy rains have retarded
farm work.
Killing frosts are reported from
Northern New England, Michigan and
Wisconsin, but with slight damage, and
lights frosts have occurred in New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and lndinaa,
doing little or no damage.
The absence Of rain in Washington
and Oregon has been highly favorable
for harvested and threshed grain and
for gathering hops, an excellent crop
of the latter being reported from both
OF these states. In California the con
ditions were favorable for most crops.
The weather conditions have been IA
vorable for late corn, which Is gener-
ally maturing rapidly, except in pOr-
tons Of Missouri and Illinois, where
sunshine and continued warmth are
needed. In Nebraska nearly the entire
crop is matuTed; in Iowa considerable

cotton crop In the eastern portion OF
the cotton region; rotting and shedding
are decreasing; the bulk OF the crop is
open and picking is progressing rap
idly.
In the central portion OF the cotton
region, where about the same condi-
lions prevail as in the previous week
picking is progressing as the weather
permits, but shedding, rust and worms
continue in Mississippi and caterpillars

Kentucky some damage was done by

progressed rapidly in all sections, ex
cept New England, Pennsylvania, New
