The evening times., 1899-10-05

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Substantial de-
clines were shown in the London market
for American stocks this morning, both
because of the more war-like turn in the
news from South Africa and further news
OF another advance of half point in
the Bank of EngIand's discount rate to 5
per cent the second advance announced
this week. London houses were fairly
large sellers of stock here at the opening
on account Of both circumstances.
In consequence, the local market opened
at declines averaging from one-half to /
point, the more extensive losses being in
the industrial quarter. Trading was only
fairly active in the early dealings, but it
was well distributed.
The granger stocks were comparatively
firm and showed a more pronouced tend
ency to recover from the initial depression
than did the other quarters of the market
Brooklyn Rapid Transit showed an initial
decline of about l point, as did Sugar Re
fining, but both stocks subsequently re-
covered and the whole market had an i'm
proving tendency after the first quarter
hour of trading.
The more war-like South African out
look was practically the only new develop
ment over night.

Merger of Potomac and Lincoln
Practically Completed.
The merging of the Potomac and the Lin

completed, nearly 90 per cent Of the Lin
coin Company's capital stock having been
surrendered to the Potomac Company and
Potomac stock having been issued therefor.
No formal meeting of the Lincoln stock
holders has been held to vote on the prop
osition, but. in the absence of any ex-
pressed opposition. this has not been
thought necessary as yet. President Arms.

letter 10 each of his stockholders. and they
have nearly all responded fayorably by
sending in their stock Ii is understood
that of the outstanding stock, trifie over 10
per cent of the entire issue. large part is
held by parties now out of the city who are
in favor of the merger.
The next step in the consolidation Of the
two companies will be the taking over OF
the Lincoln Coripany's insurance risks by
the Potomac Company. This will be done
later this month. The election of perma-
nent officers of the coubined company will
also take place shortly.
