Stocks-The tone of the market for
industrial securities showed a decided
to-day to that for railroad securities.
The break in prices Of the industrials
approached decentralization by the mid
die period of the afternoon. Mean
time the railroad stocks almost with
out exception held tenaciously to their
prices. Late to-day the bears began
to cover, and wrought some very re-
markable ~recoveries in the industrial
list. At the same time the railroads,
which had been almost stagnant, dis
played some signs of animation and
rose generally above yesterdays level.
Net gains in a few railroads reached a
point. The late recovery in stocks
was coincident with an easing in the
call money rate to 8 per cent, after
ruling at Z to 8 per cent. earlier in
IN duy' II OdAho WVlO Cdlllu6
loans, and the movement of the in
dustrials suggested that they were in
disfavor not only with the speculative
public but with the money lenders, in
dustrial collateral apparently being
displayed to a greater extent than
other classes. The bears were very
active and made bold onslaught on the
industrial list, uncovering stop loss
orders on a large scale. The easing of
the money rate aroused the SUPPOSE
ton that the banks had strengthened
their position to a satisfactory extent,
promising some relief from the calling
of loans. As it was evident that the
short interests had been largely ex-
tended, the traders turned to
the bull side on the general theory that
the three days decline in prices has
reached far enogh. They had some
success in forcing the shorts to cover
and the demand from that source be-
came rather urgent. Quite a number
of the industrials showed declines of
3R to Z points. and the subsequent rail-
Iy brought them up from ~ to 5
points. Sugar was decidedly cratic,
owing to the sitting Of the directors
to act on the dividend. After an early
advance there was decided weakness
and only a momentary check TO the
fall when the regular dividends were
announced. It fell off afterwards to
1895, and after rallying over three
points eased off again, closing with a
net gain of a small fraction. The in
crease in the dividend rate on Atchison
preferred, though not entirely unex-
pected, had a Strengthening influence
on the railroad list. Some strength
was impaired to the international
stocks by the support accorded in the
American department of the London
market. Continued large shipments OF
currency to the South and a loss of
over a million dollars by the banks to
the sub-treasury on yesterdays sub
treasury operations, are reported.
Sterling exchange continued firm to-
day.
There was little doing in railroad
bonds and prices held about steady.

Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1899-09-23

The Republican press Of this State
has for the past few years sd-
opted some peculiar methods. They
howl for a reform, and as soon as they
see it in sight they set up a COULTER
roar. They have wanted a re-adjust-
ment of taxation, and now that the
State officials are en~teavoring to
bring about the relief, the minority
press is setting up the regulation
whine.
The commendable part of the pro-
gram is that the State Board don t
care a thinkers imprecatlon what the
Republican element says, and the
Board is doing what it considers
right by the people.
The Silver State says:
Taxation, the solution Of it, is the
most important question now con-
fronting the State government. 1t is
an actual fact that the rate is raising
slowly all over the State; hat from
year to year the State rate raises;
that while there is a decided increase
In property valuation, the rolls of the
various counties show but a few hun
dred thousand dollars increase. What
a lie to 60 to the world, that Nevada
already despised, abused and laughed
at, is raising her tax rate. Is there a
community on earth in which the
Kate is slowly raising in which it IS
not an indication that times are bad
and prices falling?
I'VE venture the assertion that
Elko is as badly assessed as Hum

no better. Look at the great De La

enterprise in the world. and assessed

policy which would prevent the valu

men, of Wilkesbarre, Pa, at West
Side Park, on Friday and Saturday,
September Ist. and I'd.
This will surpass anything of the
kind ever attempted by this popular
club and will be one of the biggest
meets held in Pennsylvania this season
The expenses will foot up to about
$4,000. Good things come high, but
there is nothing too good for Wilkes
barre. Springfield, Mass, used to
have the honor of holding the most
important race meets annually, but
this year Wilkesbarre has wrested it
away from old Springfield.
An excellent program has been ar
ranged for each day and $1,000 will
be paid out IN prizes. There are
more than 100 entries, including all
the best professional and amateur rae.
ing men on the track to-day. At NO
other meet this year will there be
seen larger array of field riders and
men OF prominence. 1t will probably
be the only time that so many of the
crack riders will ever be seen together
as many of them are going to Europe
for term of years at the close of the
season.
1t will be gala occasion for cyclists
as excursions will be run and excur
sion rates given on all railroads cen
tering in Wilkesbarre.
Not crack rider, either proies
sional or amateur, of any note bu
what will be present and take part il
the races each day.
The West End Wheelmen are hust

meet will eclipse all former effort
and will be greater and more elabor
ate than ever. The entries close Of

experiments with the juice of
