Boston, Sept 11.--Wheat opened weak,
1ac. under Saturday. Liverpool was lsd
lower in spite of our rather steady mar
ket of Saturday. A large increase was
expected in the visible and a moderate
increase Of wheat on passage. There was
but little foreign buying and trading was
light and entirely local. The government
report, to be issued today, at A p. M, is
expected to indicate a condition around r.
which would mean a yield of about 800 :
000C00 bushels. The visible supply, when
issued showed an increase of wheat of
l.258se00, and later in the session wheat
tirrned up on account of light offerings,
coverings of shorts and tips of a bull
ish government report AS indicated Sat
urday, worlds shipments for the week
We're 6,5O9.000 bushels. Liverpool closed
with a further loss, making net decrease
for the day 1s-ssd.
Stock market opened irregular, but soon
gave way under selling induced by the
fear Of tight money and American Tobae-
and Metropolitan all suffered a decline;
the general railway list fell about point
for leading shares. AS the first hour
neared an end, disposition to rally de-
veloped in the market, and there was
quite an amount of covering on the idea
that the government might anticipate in
terest and perhaps give some other relief
to the money market. 1t was seen, how
yer. that stock was sold on the rally, and
this brought quite an amount of commits
sion selling through the list Traders
some calling of loans this week with
dearer money and lower prices, also, later
on, London bought from 1900 to 10000
shares Of the general list, and on the rel
ativelY firm tone In the London market
bulls seemed disposed to work for an adj
vance. but on THIS the room took the other
side. In the decline, London absorbed a
little more stock and there was some scat
tered support more particularly in clique
stocks, which offset commission house
liquidation The advance in Manhattan
gave new life to the rumors, lately cur
rent as to Metropolitan having leased
Manhattan on a guaranteed per cent
dividend. Tennessee Coal & Iron rose
over 3 per cent, broke Sh and then recov-
ere ] 2 per cent.
The reports from Birmingham are in
spring insiders, as well as outsiders, to
invest in Tennessee Coal & Iron, as the
demands for the companys products are
increasing, while the prices are rising. Ii
is predicted that Colorado Fuel e. iron
viii cross 70 within 10 days, and there
was buying by people connected with the.
company. who compared its advance with
that Of Tennessee Coal & Iron. The mon
ey situation in New York presents no
marked change, the bulk Of the loans 70
ing at per cent The undertone OF the
market continues strong, which makes
the selling movement in stocks, at this
time, less significant than 1t might oth-
erWiSe be.

was started at the eastern extremity
OF the property in fact, almost on the

through was very much broken up and
disordered, but since the tunnel got into

MARKET WEAKENS.

Seven Per Cent in
New York.
LEADING STOCKS DECLINE.

ket Notes.
LEADING STOCKS DECLINE.

Tho monetary situation is the key
note in the speculative market, and
Saturdays New York bank statement
induced free selling of stocks in Wall
street yesterday, the same causing SUBJ
stantial declines, ranging from 1 to 2
points in leading stocks.
Money on the New York stock ex-
change ruled up to per cent in the
middle of the day; in Boston, street
rates were 4@5, both on call and on
time, with the higher rate the more
general, but with funds not hard to OBJ
tain by good borrowers, or by borrow
ers- on. approved stock collateral. The
reports from Washington and New
York, as well as opinions of leading
Boston bank officers and banking
houses, indicates no real tight money
pinch, save that purely speculative
stocks are less acceptable as collateral
even than during the summer. Good
borrowers paid high rates for money,
but obtain it readily enough, and bid
fair to continue to do so. Mony is worth
more, because it is needed more in bust
ness and is having its share in COM
modify prices advance. Washington
seems to see no immediate necessity
for coming to the relief of the
monetary situation, and is somewhat
Bceptical as to the need of extraordin-
kry fnancieTing along this line.
OF course bank reserves are low in
New York and funds are going west
ward, but general financial conditions
almost are the best on record, certainly
SO Tar as the treasury finances are con-
cerned, and this monetary pinch, not
unusual at this season, is the less apt
to be serious in view of the strength
which can be displayed If the need be-
came urgent, need which is not con-
ceded as yet by any means. But the
conditions are favorable to a bear turn
IN speculative circles, and that prices
IN Wall street should go off briskly is
not at all strange. At the same time
bought pretty well ON the downward
scale. To buy on the declines, If one
is able, is advice wherein so per cent.
of Wall street wisdom is concentrated.
and the other so per cent. may be in
fsrred
In Boston, the copper shares. some of
them, at least, fell brislzly for reasons
that are plain, and which have been
outlined and commented upon freely
of late. reasons in part, at least, not
entirely differing from those at work
in depressing Wall street securities Of
a certain class. Arcadian was off 81

from the last crops, that this amount
would go only very little way toward
wheat crop. The best authorities esti-
mate that the U. S. has not raised as
much wheat this year as it did last by
200 900. COO bushels. These same authorities
estimate that the other wheat producing
and exporting countries have also raised
1000 900 bu less wheat than year ago,
thus making a shortage of 100000 900 blu.
to- be made up from the 11!,OO0,0OO left
000 900 bushels, so the net shortage
would be about 10 per cent. If the price

Hermosillo Street Railway.

MT. Manuel de Icaza, president of the Hermosillo Street, Railway Co.,, informs THE OASIS that construction work upon the company's lines will begin early in October, and will be pushed through to completion as ra- pidly as possible. The ties and rails are already en route. and the cars have been ordered from Peabody & Go. of New York City, where that firm has an extensive car factory. It is anticipated that by the first of De- cember cars will be running over a portion of the route covered by the lines of the company; and the entire system, including five miles of track, will he completed and in operation by the first day of June 1900, although under the concession the company has two years in which to complete the line Of the capital stock of the company, amounting to s50,00O. twenty per cent are paid in and another twenty per cent will be paid in during the month of October Calls for the remainder will be made as needed durog the progress of the work
 Under the terms of the franchise and concession the company enjoys most liberal privileges It is free from all duties upon construction material, cars, etc. for period of fifty years. and is likewise free from all state and local taxation during the same period. beside which the ayun- tamiento of the city of Hermosillo donates i've blocks of land for stables, shops. etc. Under the terms of the franchise no other company will be granted concession to run lines any. where within 600 metres of this com pany's tracks, giving a practically ex- elusive franchise for the period speci- ied-tifty years-because as the lines will run they will cover the entire city
 The first division to be completed will run from the railway depot to the government palace, passing through Juarez avenue 10 Don Luis street and along that thoronghfsre to the Hotel Arcadia, passing in front of that tle- gaDt structure, and through Tampico and ComonfOrt streets, along the front of the palace, to the corner of Orizaba street. This section will be ready for traffic by December lst
 Work on the next division will he taken up as soon as the one above de- scribed Is completed That will start from the terminus of the first section, at the corner of Comonfort and Oriza- ba streets, pass along the side of the palace, up Orizaba street to Conner ci0, then to Carmen street, to Rn- sales, along the latter to the railway reservation and along the front of that to the starting point of the first section at the depot.
 The third section will iutersect the second at the corner of COmercis and Hidalgo streets. passing along the latter to the river and across tC and through the principal street of Villa Seris.
 The track, cars and all appliances are to be of the best quality and de- scription, and the enterprise will be a decided factor in development of the Sonora capital.

pany with q capital Of s5O,0J0.
The length of the line was not stated
in the incorporation papers, but it will
be nearly hundred miles in length
The route of the new road will take il
through Mesa, Garfield and Rio Blanco
counties. The road will run through
one of the richest sections of the state
yet undeveloped. 1t will have a region
Of mining, stock and other resources to
draw it's traffic The road starts atCre-

headwaters of the west fork of Evacua-
ton, down that creek to White river
and thence to Vernal, Utah.
The road will tap the great gilsonite
beds and is built to bring that great
mineral to market by rail.
The directors Of the road are Chas. o.
Baxter, Sylvester P. Barron and Frank
q. Baxter.
The incorporation papers say that the
road will have its principal offices in
the city of Grand Junction, with a
branch Office at st. Louis, Mo.
The building of that road will mean
much to this city. 1t will open a vast
territory to the merchants OF this city
and they will be wise, if they know how
to take advantage Of their opportunity.
This city will be the supply point to
the new districts of the state which will
be operated and there should come to
