MARKET NOTES.

Applications for Mass. Electric Com
panies shares are coming in very well,
New York and other points being un-
expectedly large subscribers. More I'M
derwriters are withdrawing their shares
from the public offering and less than
$7,000,000 offered in the advertisement
can be allotted to public subscribers.
James Lewis & Son of London, in
their market letter, say: "The consump-
ton of copper continues on the smallest
possible scale, and smelters are mainly
employed in converting furnace mater
ial and old copper, of which the supply
is unusually large, into standard cop
per. Whereas the supplies of American
copper to England and France to date
have fallen off 4423 tons as compared
with last year, those from other coun-
tries have increased 1885 tons"
In London yesterday New York Cen
trail has been the feature, advancing to

new combinations General markets

Watson & Gibson: " Omaha pays 5 p.
c. and sells at los. Northwest pays at
p. c. and sells at 1884. The moral of
this Is to buy Burlington and st. Paul.
They will go to $50 and 140, or else the
bull movement will be a failure"
The chief buyers of the new heavy
lines of long wheat that have been
thrown on the market the past week
are said to be New York stock opera
tors, Mr.. Keene being, it is said, of the
number.
1t is said that 1886 per share is pri-
vately bid for B. & A. shares, although

The Butte Inter- Mountain has an in
terview with Senator Clark, who has re-
Gently returned to that city after an
absence of several months.
Speaking of the future of copper, he
said the prospects of the metal were
very bright indeed. He does not expect
to see any organized effort on the part
of copper producers to force the price of
copper up, for the reason that such ac-
ton would initiate against the produ-
GERS by restricting the consumption and
stimulating the production. He was in
clined to believe that the increasing de-
mand would naturally force the price of
copper up somewhat.

George G. Williams, president of the
Chemical National bank of New York,
says that the gold now shipped from
this country will be used for the pur-
pose of paying part of the interest and
dividends that fall due in Europe about
July l. 1.-THE July disbursements in
Europe" said Mr.. Williams, ARE heavy,
and the banks were undoubtedly forced
to buy American gold to meet them.
No fear, however, need be felt over the
possibility Of gold exports reaching
great proportions This country is
producing $60,0O0.OO0 gold or more a
year, which makes the $15,0000 900 gold
already shipped to Europe this season
appear insignificant. 1t would require
three times 10000 to cause any fin
ancial DISTURBANCE whatever"

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE,

New York, June 26.-The opening Of
the stock market this morning showed
Jump in prices and something like a
rush to buy, which spread rapidly
through the whole railroad list. In due
course of time, a number OF industrials
also took on some show of strength;
when this development became obvious
the railroads paused in their advance
as though to shake off the following of
industrial stocks.
Acute weakness in Local Traction,
Steel and Wire and the Tobacco stocks
first checked the advance. The rail-
roads held firm for a time, but before
the day was over, bullish enthusiasm
had somewhat expended itself and the
closing dealings showed rather easy
tone. with prices Of the railroads sharp
IL below the best A movement in the
Vanderbilts was by far the most con-
spicuous event Of the day, and was Of
course based on the reported lease of
the Boston and Albany by the New
York Central for a term Of 500 years.
The ramifications Of the Vanderbilt
properties are SO vast and the
possibilities Of consolidation so
important that a movement in
the stocks is always certain to have
stimulating effect on the whole rail-
road list. But for the same reason.
the Vanderbilt group is very likely to
be picked out for manipulation by OPP
orators for a rise.
As the fioating supply Of the stocks
Is not large, such manipulation is not
50 difficult as it might seem. New
York Central was at one time today up
three points, but it lost one point on the
failure Of official confirmation or even
admission of the correctness of the Bos-
ton and Albany report. This, together
with the further engagements of gold
for export, was the important influence
in the reactionary tendency throughout
the market.
Chicago and Northwestern. st. Paul
and Omaha, and the Oregon Short Line
securities, all responded sharply in
sympathy with New York Centrals
strength At 1881. which New York
Central touched today, the return on
investment at the present dividend rate
of per cent. is about IS per cent
which is aearly the same as on the
United states g per cent bonds. This
affords a strong contrast to the indus
trial group Of stocks, the majority Of
which return at least z per cent al
present prices, and some Of them as
much as 10 reI cent
Today's price OF NeW York Central,
OF course. had a large speculative ele-
n;ent in it. based on the prospect Of
future increase in the dividend rate.
Put superior security in the case Of
this and other railroad stocks. which
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-06-27

return per cent or less on present
prices, is responsible for the greater
part of the difference in prices as COM
pared with the industrials. The weak
ness of the New York Traction stocks
today was due to rumors of approach
ing labor troubles. Sugar and few
other specialties showed early strength,
but the industrials, with few excep-
tions, yielded before the close.
Good reports of current railroad earn
ings and especially in the west and
southwest, were factors in the strength
of railroads. Decrease in operation
expenses of southwestern railroads was
a feature of the May statements re-
ceived, the May income of Atchison
being increased largely by this means,
to the extent of over 100000. st. Paul's
May statement, on the other hand,
showed the gross increase more than
swallowed up by the enlarged operating
expenses.
Railroad bonds were generally firmer,
but the volume. of business continued
small. Total sales, par value, 1884,

CHART OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Schurman Proves by it That the Tagals
Must Soon SuGcumb.

Washington, d. c., Sept. president
Schurman, of the Philippine commission,
called at the State Department today
TO say good bye, before leaving for
ithaca, n. Y. Mr.. Schurman has un-
doubtedly made deep impression upon
the officials of the Administration by
has statementa relative to affairs in
the Philippines when he left. His Opti-
mlstic views have convinced some OF
the leading officials, at least that the
end of the war in the Philippines is
III sight. One of the arguments which
he used to support this belief was a
chart of the Philippine group. On this
the various races populating the islands
were graphically set out in colors, the
significant feature is the small showing
made by the Tagals. Not only does
the chart show that this tribe forms but
a small portion of the total population
of the Philippines, but it makes it
appear that the Tagals in insurrection
against the United States constitute only
portion of the tribe, and that whole
provinces i'll Luzon, notably at the
northern extremity Of the islands
are either friendly to the Uni
ted States, or at least neutral.

ACCIDENTS TO STEAM SHIPS.
Total Number of Such Accidents During
the Year.

Washington, Sept THE annual re-
port of General Dumont, the supervising
inspector general of steamboat inspec-
ton shows that the total number of ac-
cidents to steam vessels during the year
was 4S, of which We're breaking steam
pipes and nrud drums, explosions and
Is from snags, wrecks and sinking. The
loss Of life was 404, an increase over tht'
previous year of 123. OF this number
the cause of death i'm S6 cases was ac-
cidental drowning, 213 from wrecks, etc,
=, from fire, 81 from collisions, a from
explosions or accidental escape of steam,
and 81 from miscellaneous causes. Of
the whole number 1913 We're passengers
and 246 belonged to crews of vessels
The increase in the loss of life this
year over the year 1897 was due to the
loss of the steamer Portland off the Mas
sachusetts coast during a gale ON the
night of November 9th, 1898. wherein
every soul ON board, 127, perished.

naIdo in the Rear.

Washington, Sept. THE activity of
close figuring that is being done regard
ing the available force in the Philippines
indicates AN early movement. 1t has been
known that a forward movement was
contemplated in November, but there are
now, indications that the campaign may
begin at least a month earlier if there
should be favorable weather conditions.
BY October 1st General Otis will have
an army of 81 900 effective fighting men.
1t is believed by some officials of the
army that such a force ought to begin
an active campaign without delay unless
the weather conditions are such as to
absolutely prevent. With the arrival at
Manila of the other troops now being
raised it is suggested they may be form
ed into another corps for the purpose
of pursuing the Filipinos in some other
part of the Island of LuZOn.
In this connection it is known that
many officers look with favor upon the
suggestion that an army should be land
ed at Iingayen, and move down the
Dagupan Railway, thus taking the army
of Aguinaldo in the rear. This will
necessitate the cooperation of the navy,
and the officials of the Navy Depart
ment have consulted with the War De-
partment as to what can be done to ad-
vantage in this direction.
The Navy has offered to send a squad
ron to Lingayen Bay subdue the town
and occupy it, thus making safe land
ing for the army, should the plan of
attack be decided upon.
