THE MARKET ELSEWHERE

New York, June 30.-There was a re-
markable demonstration of the under
lying strength of standard railroad
stocks today in spite of the happenings
which the bears have been relying upon
to put down prices before the three
days holiday.
The squeeze in the money market
proved more severe than for many
months, the rate for call loans Jump
ing at one time to IL per cent.
Loans made today carry over until
Wednesday, and the shifting incident to
the heavy demands on the eve of semi
annual disbursements caused a very
active bidding for money. There was
besides the natural hesitation on the
part OF most operators to making large
commitments on the eve of the holi-
day and the general tendency to close
up accounts. This kept the market
very dull through the early part of the
day and prices were disposed to sag.
The opening was indeed a fraction be-
low last night for most of the railroads
and liquidating movement in Sugar
and the City Traction stocks pulled the
railroads back agaaa after they had first
started up again.
But during the second hour of the
trading very determined and conf
dent demand sprang up for ST. Paul and
New York Central after the latter stock
winch was dealt In ex-dividend had
fallen " below last nights level This
demand drew and spread through the
most prominent stocks on the list in
Guiding the leading trunk lines, the
Changers and the Pacific and one or
two of the Southwesterns. The manner
in which this buying ignored the furry
In the money market indicated that 1t
came from sources not dependent on the
ordinary resources of the banks. Not
withstanding the noteworthy strength
of the movement in these few stocks,
the general market continued very
much neglected and little changed in
price The total sales for the day are
considerably below the average for the
week and dealings are almost wholly
concentrated in the few stocks which
developed so buoyant a tone.
In these the strength continued with
a very slight reaction, at the close the
level of prices being lifted for them
from l to ~ per cent above last night s
level. Pennsylvania which is usually
very little dealt In on the New York
exchange showed marked activity and
rose at one time tx. Numerous blocks
Of 1000 shares and upwards Of this stool,
were taken on the rise.
The industrials were almost wholly
neglected and with one or two excep-
tons whatever activity was shown was
at the expense of values.
Sugar recovered from its early weak
ness and closed about a point higher.
Anaconda, Leather and Tennessee Coal
were all strong. The local traction
stocks were notably weak, Brooklyn
Transit being most keenly affected. A
feature Of the early market was the
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-07-01

number of cash sales of gilt-edged pre-
ferred stocks. There was quite a long
list of stocks selling, including the Van
derbilts, Rock Island, Atchison pre-
ferred, and a number of minor stocks.
The most prominent of these more
than recovered their dividend on the
days trading. All opinions seem to
agree that very heavy decrease in
cash will be shown by tomorrows bank
statement, some estimates running as
high as S10,000000. This includes over
S7,OOO,O00 of the gold shipments, a loss
to the sub-treasury on account of the
governments small expenditures this
week and a net loss for the New York
banks'on the interior movement of cur
rency.
Besides this the speculative activity
of the week foreshadowed an expansion
in loans and a sharp decline in surplus
reserve. There was considerable activ-
ity in the bond market and prices as a
rule are higher. Total sales par value
$2,379,000. Government bonds are I'M

vices from Liverpool indicated an easier

ment seemed a little more bullish, but
trading was very light and commonplace.
Northwest wheat receipts today were 625
cars, against us on the same day last
week and 81 last year. Argentine wheat
shipments for the week were 952, 900
bushels, against 96S, 900 the previous week.

is settling down again under good, clear,
warm weather. The first shipment of
new wheat from Kansas was received
today at Topeka; it graded No. red and
weighed 60 pounds to the bushel Wheat
eased off under moderate realizing and
the export interest was not important
We believe that the wheat bulls will have
their inning between now and Sept. 1;
there will be occasional reactions, but
the final result will show profits.
The stock market was dull and no fea-
ture of Importance attached to the deal
ings. The local traction stocks opened
strong on consolidated rumors, but then
sold off on denial of same. Burlington
showed strength on anticipation of the
favorable statement of earnings. Rock
Island also showed an increased inclina-
ton to harden. The grangers were
slightly off from closing prices, but rail-
lied quickly on active buying, giving bet
ter tone to the market. People closely
connected with Sugar do not waver in
the assertion that there has been no
sugar war for 60 days and that the COM
pany is unquestionably doing more profit
able business than it has done for six
months past. If present conditions con-
tinue few months, the Sugar company
can easily maintain the regular dividend.
The continued strength in the gas
stocks on a rumor that the settlement of
the gas war, was imminent. New York
Central was strong on rumor that a block
of 10000 shares was liquidated this week.
The London market for Americans closed
dull, without change, but rallied on the
street in sympathy with Kaffirs. Money
today was as high as 6 per cent, and the
money market is being closely watched.
because of the continual withdrawal of
gold for export and increased demand
for funds for use in general business. The
bank sydicate at work in the stock mar
ket is said to have unloaded this week
about $4,000 shares of stock. The short
interest has been cut down, and while
manipulation may cause further rallies.
conservative opinion is that the agricul-
tural prospects and the high range of
prices, together warrant sales both ON
the long and short account. London
transactions today scarcely exceeded
10000 shares. about equally divided.
