The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-08-04

WALL STREET. GOSSlP-NeW York
stock gossip, reported by H Holbert &
Son. bankers and brokers, S41 Robert
street, National German-American bank
building, st. Paul: Schwartz, Dupee &
Co. wire us: The stock market has
not acted quite up to our expectations,
but on the whole it is pretty satisfactory
and makes a good trading market. One
or two stocks have been conspicuous by
the movements they have made, and gen
orally prices have been well maintained.
The closing of the London stock market
from this afternoon until Tuesday may
interfere somewhat with the operations
from that market. The report is that
Americans still rule popular there, and
are growing in interest. An interesting
statement of railroad earnings which APP
pears today is that Of the AtchiSOn, which
shows a net increase from operation OF
81, 245, GOO for the year. The preferred
stock of the company is most faVorably
regarded here, and backed by such splen-
did earnings we can't see why Atchison
ads are not among the cheapest pur-
chases at present prices on the list. There
is rather an easier feeling about money,
and that in turn is beginning to reflect
a more hopeful sentiment regarding in
dustrials. Trading in many of them has
largely increased during the past few
days OF course, American Tobacco is
easily a leader among this list
Barrett, Farnum & Co., Chicago, tele-
graphed the following to Edwards & Be
chants, 10 Endicott Arcade, st. Paul,
Mimi: 'St. Paul's great net increase
continues, and we all know c. B. q @.
is doing the same. Changers will sell
chases of these stocks on all reactions.

markets were extremely idle today in
view of holidays and the harder money.
The bank rate was not changed, but
rise is thought inevitable, the reserve be-
ing lower in spite of the heavy influx of
gold from abroad The bank did consid-
cradle business in bills. Americans were
dull and featureless, and the finish was
fractionally lower"
