THE STOCK MARKET.
Industrial Shares Absorbed the Ac-
tive Trading Yesterday.


New York, Sept. 26-Active trading in
today's market was confined to the in
dustrial shares. The crowds in the board
room in Sugar Refining, American Tobac-
co. and Peoples Gas were very large and
the stock tape was almost given up to
recording the transactions in these
stocks. 1t might be assumed from these
circumstances that financial interest was
monopolized by these stocks. but such
an inference would be scarcely correct.
AS a matter of fact, actual outside specu-
lation in the railway list seems to have
been thoroughly checked by the rise in
the money market. and, noting this. the
manipulators of the industrial stocks
have probably concluded that il would
be wise policy TO reduce their holdings in
these stocks. They naturally found little
demand for these stocks in such a mar
ket. and in consequence some very sharp
losses were scored.
Sugar Refining in the main was strong.
This was not because of any change in
the situation affecting that stock, and the
decline in Peoples Gas had no better ex-
planation than the final dismissal by the
Chicago courts Of the late speculative
suit against the company. The only effect
of these confused speculative circum-
stances upon the general market was to
produce profound stagnation. There
might be cited as bearing upon the mar
ket the further decline in money rates,
and on the whole the railway earnings re-
ported today were gratifying. This was
particularly true of the returns of the
Southern and Northwestern lines, but
neither the traffic returns nor the ease of
money were among the tangible infiu-
ences in the days trading. Practically all
the new borrowing on call was effected
at 3 TO 3 IL per cent, though late in the
day belated borrowers or houses with in
different credit were forced to pay higher
rates. The market closed fiat and with
out animation. but with standard stocks
showing only fractional changes on the
day
Apart from the Industrial shares, the
most pronounced changes were in Brook
lyn Rapid Transit. which declined. and
in Metropolitan Street Railway, which
was strong. The dealings in this market
for foreign account were of inconsidera-
BILE proportions.

The Pacific stocks were all strong yes
terday compared with the remainder of
the market. Prices did not ADVANCE dur
ing the day, but neither did they recede.
The friends of these issues are confident
that they are to go much higher In the
near future. The public is beginning to
understand the Union Pacific situation bet
ter, and there is some good buying in the
issues of the company and will undoubt-
edly be large investments in them during
the next few months. Some of the misun-
derstandings of the public on account of
the recent statement and the announce
ment of only l 1-2 dividend were defined
last week in this column. 1t is undoubt-
edly the fact that 4 per cent is being
earned on the common stock at the pres
ent time Northern Pacific common will
probably be a favorite as well as the pre-
ferred in the next upward movement of
the market.

The bulls were disappointed by the ac-
ton of the stock market yesterday.
There had been good hopes of better busi-
ness and better prices for the beginning
of the week, but they were not realized
Prices in many stocks went off, and there
was no aggressive buying anywhere Busi-
ness was restricted somewhat by the
Jewish holiday, both in London and in
this country. London was fiat as far as
Americans were concerned. deter
mined bear effort against Tobacco helped
the weakness of the general market
along. The money situation is easier, and
1t is believed that this will influence to-
ward better things later in the week.
Tobacco was ready for a drop. There
was the suggestion everywhere last night
that the bad slump in the stock yester-
day was due entirely 10 the denial of
Drummond that he is in the tobacco deal,
but it seems very certain that there would
have been the same weakness even with
out this news. The fact of the matter is
that Tobacco is being manipulated by
very clever crowd, and very successfully.
1t has had these periodic startling ad-
yances and declines for some weeks past.
There has always been some item of al
legged news to help the manipulation
along, but in reality news and actual facts
with regard to the condition of the
property have had very little to do with
the movements. There was last week the
very positive statement by people of the
Tobacco trust that every company not
heretofore in the trust, with one excep-
ton. had been drawn in. and that here
after there would be a practical monopoly
for the American Tobacco Company The
one company that was not supposed to be
enmeshed was the firm of Ligget & Ny
ers Of St. Louis. This company is the
most formidable in the company, and the
claim of the trust was hardly well found.
ed even If it had been based on facts.
The news was given out. yesterday, how
ever. that the Drummond Company, the
next most formidable rival of the trust.
must also be counted out of the deal
The Drummond Company and the Liggett
& Myers people are really the only strong
companies In the country outside of the
trust, and the only ones that have been
of any Importance as an opposition. 1t is

seen therefore that the gigantic deal
heralded all over the country resolves 1t
self into the acquisition of one or two
minor companies. Tobacco began to tum-
BILE yesterday as soon as Mr. Drummond
made the statement that he was not IN
the deal, and it continued to drop all day
The result was decline of Z rs net with
the closing price. i39 3-4. The impression
in the street is that the decline has gone
far enough for the present and that the
stock should be bought or let alone for
the next few days. Drummond may come
into the deal later. If the trust will offer
him enough money, but whether he does
or not will have very little to do with the
Immediate fluctuations of the stock.
