THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, Aug. 16.-The violent raid
made upon the values of securities by
the bear element furnished material
for its own remedy in the shape Of I'M
covered contracts on the short side.
There was a fierce contest in the early
dealings to break prices further, the
bears continuing to centre the attack
on Brooklyn Transit and the local
traction stocks. Other members Of the
group proved more vulnerable than
Brooklyn Transit, in which powerful
support by inside interests was forth
coming while Metropolitan Street
Railway and Manhattan yielded easily.
The best efforts Of the bears only
carried Brooklyn Transit a shade be-
low yesterdays figure, and friends of
the stock were apparently ready to
take all that was offered. The con-
tlnuance of the aggressive bull move
ment in American and Continental To-
baccos and strength in United States
Leather increased the discontinue of
the bears, and there was a movement
to cover
The strength embraced a very limited
portion of the general list, and the high
priced railways such as the grangers,
and the great trunk lines continued ne
elected and heavy. Railroads in the
southern region were generally strong
on general good business conditions.
and Industrial expansion in that re-
glon. Louisville led on account of the
reports Of large current earning for
that road, and rose an extreme 1M.
The declaration of a one per cent
dividend on Chesapeake and Ohio
stock, the first in the history of the
present company, helped the move
ment Atchison preferred was strong
on the reports Of continued large cut
ting down Of operating expenses to the
benefit of net earnings. The condition
or the money market here showed an
easier tendency again, and some New
York banks were reported to be bid
ding for commercial paper for the first
time in several weeks.
Sterling exchange rose in sympathy
in spite of the continued hardeniIrN tend
ency Of money in London. The raid by
the bears today came with the appear
ance of realizing sales in the Tobacco
stocks. They attacked those stocks,
wiping out the earlier gains, and forced
Sugar down to 18Th, and other indus
trials less amount. Meanwhile
Southern Pacific continued its advance.
This made the close active and very
irregular, the railroad stocks, which
had advanced, yielding only a small
fraction. The majority of stocks how
ever, were lower. Changes in bonds
were small, and total sales, par value.

FIGHT RACES OVER 3. R. 7.

The conflict between professional
operators was renewed at the opening
of the Wall street stock market yester-
day.
Brooklyn Transit on sales of 300
shares was quoted all the way from
1091s down to 1OSa4, gainst 10s5s Tues
day night. Support was Forthcoming
and the stock rallied again. Steel &
Wire gained a sharp fraction after COW
ering by shorts. American Tobacco,
after falling a fraction, forged upwards
two points and the Continental Tobacco
stocks also moved upwards. In the
meantime a number of the standard
railroad stocks and Sugar showed
weakness. The market became very ir-
regular after the opening on heavy
dealings. While the general trend was
downward, a few issues moved up
strongly, notbly the Tobacco stocks,
American Tobacco landing 1875 and Con-
tinental Tobacco 503z. Determined sup
port kept Brooklyn Transit steady
above the lowest. Metropolitan Street
Railway was forced below 202 and
Manhattan weakened syunpathetically.
Tennessee Coal foil to 8S1s. United
States and Leather rose 1ss. Nothing
important developed in the railways
which worked lower, except in a few
cses. Interest shifted into the standard
railways about midday and there was
q heavy absorption of the grangers,
Panhandle, Atchison preferred, Louis

Their average rise approximated a

In the local stock market there was

to 1885, holding the rise. Utah was up
". at As, and Bingham a similar amount
at 16. Atlantic was steady at % and

EURoPE's BIG MONUMENT.
Stands on Mountain Summit In Interior
of Hungary.

of Hungary.
The most colossal monument on the
continent of Europe, and second alone
in dimensions to the Liberty statue in
New York, is that of the fabulous Tu-
rull bird recently erected in the sum-
NIT Of the Banhida mountain in County
Komorn, Hungary, in commemora-
ton of the Hungarian millennium,
which was celebrated with a stupen-
dous amount Of patriotic enthusiasm in
1896 in all portions of the kingdom.
The site is well chosen, seeing that
the monument occupies the spot where
Arpad slew Swatopluk the Slavic
chieftain, on the invasion of the Hun
gary of today. 1t was mainly due to
the exertions of the famous Magyar ro-
mancer, Joskal Nor, that the collection
for the monument was started. This
bird, fable has it, has played an ex-
traordinary part in the destinies Of the
nation, so that the poorest, moved
by the eloquence of the popular poet,
contributed the copper he could i'll af-
ford to spare to the general fund
The conception of the monument is
that of the Magyar sculptor, Donath
Gyula, the metals used being copper
and iron. The height from the claw
to the tip Of the wing Is GO feet, the
outspread wings are 46 feet long and
the sword or Arpad, which is the mon
ster bird holds in it's claws, measures
40 feet.

3. g. M. EARNINGS.

The statement of B. &. M. earnings
for the quarter and year ended June
80 are particularly interesting because,
they are in all probability the last
against which 8 p. c. annual dividends
will be credited. The next quarterly
dividend on the common, 1t is generally
understood, will be at the rate Of Z
D. c.
The surplus for the year over and
above all charges, dividends and sink
ing funds was only $29, 421 There was
expended during the year for new
equipment, air brakes, etc., $4s9. ia, SO
that the actual balance over cost of
operation was more than 2 10 D. G. on
the stock.
Extraordinary expenditures of this
character have practically reached
their limit. The betterments which are
charged to operating expenses each
year will of course continue to absorb
large part Of the surplus.
The showing for the last quarter was
exceedingly good, and the policy Of the
management is seen In the fact that
OF $780, 900 gross increase, $317,2S0 was
put back into the road.
Perusal of the annual reports shows
that 1t has been the policy Of the man
agemsnt' to place the surplus eaxuIngns

amount there is a profit of 81, ,44S,
representing the sum available for div
ldends. The state law requires pre-
ferred dividend be set aside before any
thing is paid on common

$2,S0OOOO and leaves for the common
stock $2092,4 4S, or about 41S per cent
II profits for the second half Of the
year are the same as the first half
there would be shown earnings on com
mon stock for the year Of say, $6,9S4,-
1856, or 1879 per cent.
The feature of the recent market was
the selling of American Steel & Wire
apparently on the statement of assets
and liabilities.
The reasoning was that earnings are
not up to expectations.
insiders say that calculations of earn
lngs on common stock based on figures
OF the first half year are not high
enough, as the profit of the second half

better prices obtained.
