A Bad Exhibit.
From The Boston Herald,

The report Of the Secretary OF the Treasury
for the fiscal year 1899 shows, when you briag
figures to theIr true bearing, deficiency Of
500, ,909, 1881. That is TO say, the expen-
ditures exceeded the revenue by this enorm
Gus amount. The exhibit on this point Is a
little worse than tha, for the fiscal year 1898,
though, goodness knows the earlier return
was bad enough. and a reduction Of the deic-
il, rather than any increase, might reasonably
have been expected in view Of the fact that in
1899 the revenue burden imposed upon the
taxpayers was greatly larger than in any pre-
vious year. As the Treasury includes several
items of income which have no claim 10 be
regarded as revenue, we have prepared
COMPARISON of the revenue and expenditures
for the two fiscal years on corrected lines.

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, Sept. 26.-St Paul was the
central figure in today's market. The
publication of the annual report with
Its great detail of facts and figures all
showing extraordinary prosperity was
the motive of the. buying which was
very large, and carried the prices
steadily upwards nearly two points.
The st. Paul movement in the upper
stages of the advance showed some
signs of manipulation for the purpose
of sustaining the general market. This
was on the free settling wherever there
was notable advance in price, and the
last hour was given over to an active
realizing movement which clipped off
half of St Paul's gain and carried
prices generally below last nights
level. The exceptions We're a number
of usually obscure stocks which were
marked up in quite a sensational man
ner.
Tennessee Coal dashed up and down
in an erratic manner all day, climbing
972 points in the first hour and dropping
again TO within three points of last
night. The feverish demand for this
stock is attributed to a large short in
terest, which finds itself obliged to set
tie with a practical corner according to
the current rumor This is Wall
streets effort to explain the movement
which seems extraordinary without 1t
in a stock which has paid no dividend
for twelve years, and which has a pre-
ferred stock ahead of it upon which six
years dividends have accumulated and
are payable before dividend is due on
the common. The movement in Colo
RADIO Fuel, which reached about four
points was in close sympathy with
Tennessee Coal. There were rather
sensational advances in Pullman, the
Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg
stocks which gained about seven points

each, and Colorado Midland preferred.
Southern Pacific and Central Pacific
recovered about ~ of their recent de-
cline, and the Norfolk and Western
stocks and the Coalers advanced temp
orarily but more than net gain.
Sugar underwent the same experience
rising two points on the declaration of
the regular dividend, and then reacting
an extreme 35s. The New York NUM-
cipal stocks all weakened during the
day, Brooklyn Transit having declined

Stock market trading increased in
breadth and activity yesterday, par
ticularly in Boston. In New York the
gained Roadway, price rising 10, to 1171h,
with reaction in part, but with every in
dication of strong support. The gen
eral list was firm and in several in
stances, notably the Pacific shares,
strong gains We're recorded, Southern
Pacific rising and Central IL, while
Delaware & Hudson advanced 9, St.
Paul the same. Sugar rose 11a, and as
the day advanced the whole active list
strengthened determinedly. Money was
quoted at 4 per cent at noon, and con-
tinues to furnish the theme for much
talk and argument respecting the fu-
ture of the speculation. Meanwhile
strong combinations are advancing
specialties and on every fresh display
of their strength and determination
some public interest is excited. 1t is
diseernible as the summer ends that the
public attitude towards the market has
changed distinctly from the early sum
mer position; the speculation is no less
professional that is, dominated by
great speculative interests, but it has
shown staying power of. the higher
character; the dreaded unloading on
the public" has not been attempted; a
steady upward tendency characterizes
the dealings, and the money market
outlook as yet fails to act as a deter
rent on speculative animation. 1t is
a good, broad market, with traders
looking or the bright side which CON
dition easily may change into a posi-
tive bull market If the usual autumn
financial operations go through smooth
ly.
