STOCK MARKET GOSSIP.
Much Importance Attached 10 III
Eastern Railway Deal.

Eastern Railway Deal.
NEW YORK Nov 30-The action Of the
Secretary of the Treasury in extending the
time in which bonds may be sold to the
Government under his recent offer the
continued and persistent stories regarding
the Baltimore and Ohio. Pennsylvania,
New York Central deal, the near convening
of Congress and exploitation OF the Presi-
dents message, and the continuance Of the
general fine business situation everywhere
makes Wall Street most optimistic regard
ing the near future of the stock market.
It. was the holiday comment today that
the ending OF the week is likely to see an
active and advancing market, and that
next week may quite likely witness the
beginning of a good upward movement OF
important proportions.
Yesterdays market was strengthened
and redeemed from insiguifcance by tips
from various inside sources in the late
afternoon that the Secretary OF the Treas
ury had decided to extend the time for the
purchase OF bonds. The Importance Of
this decision was shown by the immediate
better tone, the covering of shorts. and the
not unimportant buying of long stock. Il
is quite reasonable to suppose that the same
effect will be felt tomorrow. The bonds
have been three-tourths subscribed, but
the additional $4,000 600 in cash which will
in all probability be received during the
coming week viii add materially TO the
general sense Of security in the financial
situation.
Persistent and aggressive denjals that
the Baltimore and Ohio has passed under
the control of the Pennsylvania Railway
do not Shake the belief OF people who are
in the best position to know whereof they
speak in this regard 1t may be asserted
with more than the usual faith allowable
regarding railway deals, before they have
matured. that within a very short time
there will be such ample proof Of the deal

cents and 1894 ) per cents was made some
time ago.
The bonds were quoted at 1927 and III
respectively on the day of the offer, and
this is the price that is being paid for

market would relieve the money strin-
gency which has existed at New York for
some time past
The purchases Wednesday amounted to
81 900 600. Public notice viii be given of

BUSINESS IS EXPANDING.
Advance In Pig Iron, Cotton and osher
Products.

New York, February i7.-R. G. Dun &
Go. e weekly review Of trade tomorrow
will say:
Beyond question business is expanding
and la many branches Is larger. Pig
iron has advanced. No. anthracite TO
sI2. rs at the east; Bessemer to ell 30 at
Pittsburg and Grey Forge to sli.25, but
the largest consumption ever recorded in
any month is due In part to the hasty pur-
chases Of products about to bo controlled
or advanced in price by combination
No fictitious demand has caused the
rise In grain. for the exports continue SO
heavy in wheat and corn that the advance
of 1-4c In corn seems scarcely enough
tor the occasion. Atlantic exports ha :.
been retarded by the blizzard but h.
been 9, 265, 7i5 bushels of -four inelnde
against 8. i42, 057 last year, and Tor tse
crop year thus far the exports. including
flour, have beel l5d, 1871 bushels
against 143. IA. LAY last year.
When IL is remem bersd that the exports
OF corn are almost as large as the largest
ever known, there Is reason for astonlsh-
ment at the continued foreign demand.
Nor does the foreign demand for cotton
abate, though the price has again been
raised three sixteenths during the past
week. There Is much more inquiry Tor
wool and the manufacturers hayea lnrger
demand for heavy weight goods, but they
maintain that they cannot pay prices now
demanded for wool and most of the pur-
chases made appear to have been at some
concessions. sales at the three chief
markets were o. 100, goo pounds, which II
about the weekly consumption with
stern mills well employed, but they
were partly on speculation, and In fine
medium territory sales are mentioned nt
forty cents cleaned and In Ohio at forty
six cents and upwards.
Failures for the week have been lis in
the United States against 100 last year
and IL in Canada against IS last year.

NAVAL CAMPAIGN IN PHILIPPINES

Washington, February 1.-THE admin
istration has deter mined rapidly to ex
tent the jurisdiction of the United States
over the whole of the Philippine group,
acting on the theory that delay in this
case is dangerous and that anarchy and a
general paralysis of such interests as the
islands support will be brought about
through failure promptly to replace the
sovereignty over the islands by that Of
the United States
THIS decision involves the necessity of
a naval campaign and this will be in
stituted as soon as Admiral Dewey re-
ceiyes the reinforcements in the shape of
gunboats now on their way to Manila,
