THE STOCK MARKET.
Sugar Refinfng's Weakness "a Fac
tor of Unsteadiness.


New York, Sept. .ls.-Continued liqui-
that stock scored further sharp de-
cline, was perhaps the chief influence in
the days rather unsettled market. In ad
dition to this factor, there was, of course,
the continuing effect, of the high rates for
money, but this lateer more or less logic
al disturbing circumstance was really
subordinate to the weakness of Sugar
Refining In the days speculation. 1t is,
of course, not difficult TO assign superb
cial explanations TO the market course of
Sugar Refining, but all the details of the
general situation bearing upon the prop
erty were present in as much force two
weeks ago, when the stock was above l40.
as they are now. At the same time the
exceedingly severe decline that the stock
has suffered in the meantime has not ap-
parently induced its friends to rally TO
its support, and ii was their failure TO do
SO that made the break in the stock.
The general market furnished no evil
dences of considerable outside interest,
and the professional element of the street
found the. course of Sugar Refining suf-
ficientiy absorbing for their energies. The
closer money market conditions foreshad-
owed in the bank statement OF Saturday
were realized in the days transactions.
and a firm 4 per cent rate prevailed for
practically all periods of accommodation.
On call even higher figures were occa-
sionally quoted. This state of things ef-
fectually shut out new interest from the
market and additional engagements of
gold for import and the indications that
the current money market conditions are
eliminating were not particularly effect
i've. The net changes on the day gener-
ally were limited. but the trading was
characterized by heavy tone. Tobacco
was advanced smartly in the face of the
general unsteadiness. AT the opening
fractional advances were general the
market following, London prices, and on
balance foreign houses were buyers here.
The market soon. however passed under
the influence of Sugar Refining, and its
subsequent movements were little more
than limited reflections of the changes
in that instance.

the medals hereafter to be presented TO

handsome surplus which it would be the
business Of the executive committee to
distribute carefully, and to the very best
advantage

LOUISIANA EPUBLICANS.
Not More Than Few Hundred Of
Them VIII Vote This Fall.

New Orleans, Sept. 19.-The Lily White,
or Sugar, Republicans have decided to
take no part in the coming Congressional
election because of the Federal appoint
ments in Louisiana, and the indications
are that only few hundred Republican
votes will be polled. There are only two
Republican candidates in the field and
these are the only ones likely to be
named-F. n. Wicker in the Second and
United States Marshal Charles Fontelieu
in the Third. There We're no candidates
in the First, Fourth. Fifth or Sixth dis
tricts.
Col. Gus Brereaux, nominated by the
white wing of the party, has withdrawn
on the plea of sickness, but really be-
cause of the color question, and the white
Republicans generally have decided TO
take no part in the election. AS the col
ored men are disfranchised by the suf-
frage clause of the new constitution there
will be practically no Republican votes
left, and the vote will be 50 small as
probably to shut the party out of repre-
sentation at future elections. The result
Is due to the quarrel over the color line
and the dissatisfaction over recent Fed
eral appointments.

POSTMASTER AT NEW ORLEANS
Coz. y. 4. G. Pitkfn Named for the
Office Yesterday

The appointment of Col. j. l. G. Pitkin
as postmaster of New Orleans was made
yesterday. The appointment was unex-,
pected by the New Orleans politicians,
and the announcement that it would be
made was not believed, as Col. Pitdn was
not candidate for the Office and had no
papers on file for It.
Col Pitkin himself was surprised al the
announcement, and his surprise was in
creased by the statement that his oppo-
nents claimed he was not resident of
New Orleans, having spent the greater
part of the past five years in Washington.
Col. Pitkin informed a Times reporter
that he has always been a resident of
New Orleans, from the time of his birth,
and although he has spent some time in
Washington, 1t has been in connection
with his business affairs, and he has al
ways retained his residence in New Or
leans.
Col Pitkin Is one of the best known
and ablest stump speakers of the Repub-
lican party in the South, and has stump
ed twenty-seven States in one campaign.
He has always been under the direction
of the Republican committee and has
been devoted to the service of his party.
AT a time when the name Republican at
tached to a man in the South meant
social ostracism, Col. Pitkin was with the
party, having been a strong Union man
during the war. He was United States
marshal of New Orleans under Grant,
and again under Arthur. He was an ap-
plicant for the Mexican mission under
Garfield. and the place was promised to
him, but Gen. Garfield died before signing
the commission.
Col Pitkin was minister to Argentine
Republic under President HARRISON Z and
was an applicant for reappointment from,
President Mckinley. He was indorsed by
all the leading merchants. bankers and
Republicans of New Orleans for this 'po-
sition, as well as all the New York nm
porters having dealings with the South
American republic. The foreign de-
partment of the Argentine Republic also
requested that he be again sent there to
represent the United States. 1t was de-
cided that the present incumbent could
not be disturbed at present, and the post
mastership of New Orleans was offered
to Col. Pitkin, which he accepted.

THE STRIKERS WILL WIN.
President Gonpers's Opinion of the
Coal Miners, Fight.

Samuel Gompers, president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, in speaking of
the miners strike in the third pool on
district, of The coal region of Pennsylva-
MIA, said last night:
The miners must win the strike. If
they lose, il means a return TO the hor-
rible conditions which existed among the
coal miners prior TO the great strike of
July 4, 1897
Mr.. Gompers is familiar with the ter
ritory and the conditions where the strike
is now in progress and is confident that
the miners will be victorious in the end
The third district. Mr.. Gompers said, be-
longs 10 the territory operated under the
terms by which the strike of 1897 was
settled II includes the five competitive
States in the bituminous coal region,
namely, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, IN
diana, and Illinois. West Virginia is also
what is known as competitive State In
this region, but did not enter into the
terms of the settlement OF the strike last
year. ~r ~ .~4~-ry
AS an outcome of the settlement of the
strike of 1887, the coal miners in all the
competitive States received an increase
of SO per cent over the wages of 1893. One
OF the most far-reach1ng conditions OF the
agreement reached by the mine operators
and the representatives of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor was that both
the operators and miners In the competi-
tive States would use their best efforts
TO maintain and enforce the scale of
wages agreed upon as the basis of settle
ment of the strike.
The people in the third pool, Mr..
Gompers says. about five months ago at
tempted to reduce wages, in violation of
the terms of the agreement, and have
endeavored to persuade other operators
to join in the movement, but without sue
cess. .r

Mr.. Gompers stated, has already levied
an assessment upon its members for the
benefit of the striking miners. and II 1T

There now seems to be no doubt that
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
will ultimately acquire the entire street
railroad system of Brooklyn and its
suburbs. Mention was made in this COL
umn last week of the negotiations now on
foot to acquire the Nassau property, one
of the largest rivals of the Brooklyn Rap
id Transit 1t seems certain that the
management of the latter has acquired a
majority of the stock of the Nassau road
Even with this, however, it is said that
there may be some difficulty in securing
lease of the road itself and putting the
two properties under one management
When this is accomplished the other mi
nor roads will almost certainly fall into
line Friends of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit system are most optimistic over
the probability of the deal taking place
before many months. 1t would cost some
outlay at first but the consolidation could
not but be valuable in the saving of ex-
