high records had been established in sew
eral stocks, and the public was buying
heavily. A great bull week is thus car
ried to successful ending, and after three
weeks of declines everything has the ap-
pearance of firmly established BOOM The
bank statement was not as good as it
might have been, but not very disappoint-
ing either. Its complexion was much like
last weeks. There was an increase of
loans of $4,000, ,0G0 or more, and of deposits
or S9,000,0O0 The reserve decreased hearty
a million and half There was some real
iZing on the statement, but before the
close a careful consideration of these fig-
ures had convinced people that they were
in no way menace, and recovery OF the
slight loss occurred. The close was at
very near the top figures.
The movement in Tobacco was the most
sensational feature of the day. 1t was in
fact entirely without precedent in that
stock and such an advance as has very
seldom been seen in any other. Yesterday
Tobacco was 1872. The high price today
was 1853 or an advance of 26 points. There
was a recession from this top price of 2
points, but no appearance of weakness.
Little. is known in the Street as to the
cause of the violent advance. 1t is sup
posed that there was a heavy short inter-
est and that on the strength of the general
market the insiders began to buy and fore
ed the shorts to cover. This price is un
precedented in Tobacco and it is not to
be supposed that it will be held for long
AT the same time it would be dangerous
obviously to sell short at this time.
The grangers were again the features of
the market with the exception of this
squirt in tobacco. All of them made new
high records for this movement, and St
Paul and Burlington both went above the
prices of January, and thus higher than
they have been for ten years Burlington
did not quite touch $50, but the top price
went within fraction of the figure. The
talk OF the refundng scheme is now taking
definite shape and there seems no reason
TO doubt that it will be announced within
few days. One enthusiastic house says
that the end of the rise for the stock will
be much nearer 200 than $50. ST. Paul
went above 1872 and closed at 131 rs with
large and excellent buying in the last few
minutes OF the day, which seems to make
sure a good further advance for the stock
on Monday. Rock Island went to III and
closed near the top.

The Rough Experience OF the steam

NORFOLK, VA. August 1s-(speclai)-
The steamship Essex, of the Merchants
and Miners, Baltimore. Boston, Norfolk,
and Savannah Line. which arrived here
tonight came dangerously near founder
ing at sea In the recent West Indian hur-
ricane. She sailed from Savannah on
Monday last, bound for Baltimore, and
her troubles began soon afterward. The
wind drove the seas over her in
stream She lost her boats and portions
Of her deck fittings, and finally, after
shipping seas until the saloons were
awash her cargo shifted. She then made
for the Gulf stream. and stayed there
until her coal began 10 run low, when
she put in here for a new supply. Many
of the passengers say they have enough
Of the sea to last a lifetime. The Essex,
fortunately, being staunch ship, sur
vived the storm, but during the past five
days those aboard expected every plunge
the great ship took would be her last.
The screw raced until It indicated by the
number Of revolutions that the ship had
travelled 1920 miles, while the real dis
lance covered was but AGO miles.

concern has not abandoned the project OF
putting on line of passenger and freight
steamers between Newport News, Suf-
folk, and Baltimore. He says the delay
has been occasioned by failure TO secure
the necessary boats. AS soon as these

and now he proposes TO establish his own
company, which win be known rs the
Federal Trust Company.
IL is not announced whether Russell
Sage will be interested In the new enter
prise. but he Is known to have great
liking for young Mr. Gould. In fact. IL
was the excellent judgments OF Mr.. Sage
in investing the surplus income Of Mr..
Gould before he reached his majority
which placed a goodly sum OF cash in his
hands aside from his share OF his fathers
estate when he reached his majority.
AS Mr.. Sage Is himself a noney-lender,
he might not look with pleasure upon
the many new trust companies which
have entered the money market as lend
ers.
1t is stated. however, that all OF the
members Of the Gould family are inter
ested in the new enterprise George >.
Gould, Edwin Gould, Howard Gould, ana
Helen VI. Gould are among the large SUBJ
scribers to the company which Frank
has promoted.
Miss Gould will simply be a stockhold-
sr. The other members OF the Gould
family may be officially connected with
the new company. 1t will be capitalized
al 81 100000, with surplus OF $4,000
cash.
The business which will be obtained
from the Gould properties alone would
give the new concern a very large amount
OF profitable trade. II Is expected tna'
many of tho interests allied 10 the Gculae
in their various enterprises wiz MAKE
use of the new trust company.
