A BETTER TONE.

BELL TELEPHONE UP TEN.
Pullman a Marked Feature
in the Days Trad
ing.

In response to a better tone in the
London market, New York prices i'm
proved all around in early dealings to-
day, and while there was some recess
sion in the middle of the day, with ~
to 20 per cent range on money, yet the
average Of leading stocks at p m.
was q higher than at the same hour
yesterday and Il higher than at the
close yesterday. Pullman continued a
marked feature, rising tx more, to
1909, Boston trading in nearly 1000
shares in the morning. Bell Telephone
was a marked feature in this market
rising 10. to 370 while the general
market here saw fractional recessions
a few mining stocks and general
steadiness otherwise.
At the clearing house balances be-
tween the banks loaned at 6 per cent,
and New York funds sold at 10, 20Q5
cents per $1,000 discount. The ex-
changes were $29, 267, 223 against $751;
SS9,2s3 year ago today, an increase of
S10 377, $40, or So per cent, and the ball
ances were $2,459, 210. In New York

(fIoWard, crosby d Co. Boston Letter.
Boston, Oct 4-Wheat in Chicago opened
easy this morning at from 120asc under
last night The Liverpool prices were
off I'D and London off almost as much.
Consols were up Is point and the situa-
ton did not appear so acute, it now being
believed that the South African question
will be settled peaceably, after all. Mean
while northwest receipts continue to be
less than last year; today they were 1107
cars, against 947 last week and 1906 same
day year ago, and wheat looked to be
a good purchase at the opening. The
daily export trade, however, is proving
rather disappointing, the average of actual
clearances, as shown by wheat and flour
shipments for the last so days, have been
at the rate Of $4,000 bushels per day at
all ports. The weather map shows normal
fail conditions everywhere, though rather
Wintry in the northwest. Wheat closed
steady at Antwerp and higher at Paris,
while at London the market was quieter
Nebraska during the past six weeks is
said to have played havoc with the fall
seeding; where there was every reason
to expect that 100000 acres would be
seeded in that state, less than half of this
acreage has been seeded and seeding is
ended. 1t is quite a question whether this
loss can be made up In spring wheat next
spring.
Why does the stock market advance
from TO 2 points in the face of a money
rate ranging from 10 to 40 per cent? Some
say 1t is because the rate for money was
been shaken until there Is no more stock
to come out The fact remains that stocks
are not being pressed for sale, and when
the market will not go down on bad news
or unfavorable conditions it usually has
some advance soon afterward. Call money
market today was again an uncertain
quantity, rates from 10 to 20 per cent be-
ing quoted The bank statement to come
out Saturday is already a matter for con-
lecture. The banks have already lost
over a million this week to the sub
treasury and they have also lost money
to the interior, and the statement may
cut big figure. The annual report of
Louisville and Nashville shows the net
earnings equal to about per cent The
pool that has been at work in Southern
Pacific stocks, while making no effort to
peg" the market at any given point is
buying heavily on a downward scale
Plans for the rehabilitation of K. c. p
& G. are said to be progressing rapidly,
We understand that the reason for the
heaviness in st. Paul since the dividend
declaration, has been due to the unloading
by one individual supposed to be in favor
OF an increased rate of in the neighbor-
hood Of $4,000 shares. Atchison officials
say that September was a good month
and that the rate of gain has been main
tanned. London was a moderate BUYER
during the first hour and Americans
showed conspicuous strength in that
market, more particularly in the Pacifcs
st. Paul and Louisville and Nashville II
won't do as yet to enthuse much over
the market, in view of the firm position
of money and the uncertainty as to the
Transvaal situation, but we would incline
to take advantage Of all set-backS 10 buy.

MARKET NOTES.

The Boston News Bureau under
stands that the Santa Ysabel Gold
Mining Company will begin the pay
ment of dividends the early part of
next year. probably at the rate of 50
per annum. The property is now on a
paying basis. The company has prof
tied by the work under ground in open
ing new territory and is getting out
very good ore. If the stamps had
been delivered July ] as promised by
the manufacturer, the mine probably
would be paying dividends now. The
management is arranging to enlarge
the capacity of the stamps from three
tons to five tons per stamp by increas-
ing the number Of trips, thus increas-
ing the efficiency of the mill and re-
ducing operating expenses.

ter's head of commissary in the San
tiago campaign and succeeded Eagan
as commissaTy general Of the army, tes-
titled to-day. The whole subject of fresh
beef was considered thoroughly in
Washington prior to the army going to
Cuba and the conclusion reached that
canned roast beef was the best thing
obtainable. He was then and Is still Of
opinion that next to refrigerated beef
and beef on the hoof canned roast beef
is the best meat supply. The conditions
in the Santiago campaign made refrig-
Grated beef and live cattle impossible
Under Cuba's trying heat canned beef
became uninviting in appearance, but
remained very palatable In stews. The
complaints he attributed to the fact
that the men were run down by the
time they reached Santiago and were
kept UP by excitement. When the CAM
paign ended the excitement they re-
Taxed and they went to pieces.
General Weston reviewed at some
length the difficulties attending the
embarkation at Tampa. General Wes-
ton then reviewed the first arrival Of
refrigerated beef at Siboney, the Mis-
sissippi bringing 100000 pounds imme-
diately after the surrender. He saw
the beef on the Mississippi and, reply
ing to Colonel Davis, said 1t was not
so inviting in appearance as the beef
at Tampa. 1t was slightly discolored,
but not bad.
Mr. Edwards, he said representing
Armour & Co., came to him and said
some beef was coming that would be
treated and he asked witness II he
would net put it on ship and see how
long 1t would keep. The beef arrived
and witness asked Mr.. Powell what had
been done to the beef, and the latter
replied that nothing injurious was in
the treatment he had furnished beef
fot years to Florida hotels and he be-
lieved the beef in question would keep
~ hours, and If so, and the government
would contract the full process would
be explained. Six or seven quarters
were taken and put on the ship. Some
was in canvas and some not. The
former held out 70 hours, while the
quickly Weston declared emphati-
cally that the government had moth
ing to do with the experiment. Canned
beef in Cuba was not spoiled, but the
heat made 1t uninviting in appearance.
However, it was wholesome and excel
lent for stew purposes.
Major Henry Osgood, acting assistant
commissary general prior to the out
break of the war. responding to GEN
eral Davis. declared his opinion that
many of the claims of officers that re-
frigerated beef was spoiled were false.
The beef, he said, often appeared Of
fensive when merely viewed; whereas,
if knife was used to cut OF the out
side, ''the best beef you could And
anywhere" would be found. SNAP
judgment was taken often on that
beef" the witness declared.
Speaking of the men and their COM
plants, he said: "All their livers were
out of whack. l estimate that 80 per
cent. of them had enlarged livers and
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-02-24

they were ready to complain at every
thing-wanted to be fed all the time on
delicacies.'
Captain G. L. Scott, 9Th infantry,
served in Porto Rico and declared the
native beef was unsatisfactory, while
the refrigerated beef was highly pleas
ing.
1t was nearly o'clock when former
Commissary General Eagan, who had
arrived from New York, was presented
to the court. Proceeding in response to
questions, he said that in introducing
canned roast beef it was the intention to
use it as an incidental, so that the men
it as an incidental, SO that the men
could take 1t or not as they liked The
first complaint about this beef came
from Captain Philip Reed of the COM
missary department. Witness was sur
prised and at once ordered all officers
who had this beef to examine and re-
port. The responses Endorsed the beef.
General Eagan said that when the war
came there were three plans for fresh
beef supply--refrigerate beef, beef on
the hoof to be furnished by contractors
and for the government to own its own
herds; all his experience taught him
the undesirability of the government
owing its own herd. Refrigerated beef
he considered first choice and when the
beef concerns offered it and guaranteed
it's preservation he accepted it. With
out concluding the hearing of General
Eagan's testimony the court adjourned
until tomorrow morning.
