TN THE STOCK MARKET
Trading in Light Volume and the
Tone Indecisiye.
London Shows Slight Improvement
on Favorable Reports From South
Rapid Transit, and American Steel
and Wire the Active Features.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29-Trading in the
Stock Market this morning continued upon
the same general lines upon which it has
been conducted for the past fortnight the
markets tone was indeeisiye and operations
were in extremely light volume and almost
wholly for professional account.
The London market showed a slightly
improved tone, apparently On account of
the reports of General Roberts successes
in South Africa, but little or nothing was
done here for foreign account.
AS was the case yesterday, technical in
dicationS were to the effect that the short
interest was rather unduly extended, and
on that account there was a general dispo-
sition 10 close out contracts for a fall.
Active features of the market were SUI
gar Refining which was strong, as was
Brooklyn Rapid Transit and American Steel
and Wire.
The railway list was quiet but steady, with
fairly large dealings in st, Paul, Missouri
Pacific, and Northern Pacific.

In every country in Europe, as in the United
States, every loom has been wllirring, every fac
tory has been smoking, every shipyard and en-
CINE shop has been resounding with the din OF
industry without cessation during the past two
years The increase in the production of coal has
been greaI, but the increase in the consIinptit,T
has been greater. Prosperity is the cause OF the
scarcity OF coal. and the for the popularity
OF Heurichs beer is that Maerzen Senate and
Lager are brewed of the best malt and hops piir-
chasable, and are OF proper age before leaving

The Steel securities generally were
stronger this morning. owing to the better
sentiment aroused by the recent earnings
developments in a number of the compan
les. The annual statement of the Republic
Steel and Iron Company was an excellent
one and this morning semi-o official fig
ures of the recent business of the Steel
and Wire Company are given out which
are even better. 1t is said that the net
earnings Of the company for the six
months ending June 80 were about $780,
000. This is of course nothing less than
remarkable in view of the fact that the
period covered includes the months where
overproduction and falling demand ne
cessitates heavy price reductions every
where. These figures show that the COM
pany during the first half of its fiscal year
earned more than sufficient to pay the
full per cent dividend on both the pre-
ferred and common stocks for the entire
year. A Ia tge increase over the business
of last year IS shown. The directors of
the company will meet on September 4
and the official earnings figures will then
be given out, but there is little doubt that
these figures are correct.

try on Friday. 1t is probable that his

Sugar advanced TO 120 at the opening
this morning, and then sagged back to 119
and a fraction. The stock was fairly
strong at all times, however, and the
Street is inclined to optimism regarding it.
The trade is talking with much confidence
CT a further advance IN the price of re-
fined sugar within the next few days. This
is very different from the decline that the
bears have been predicting. In fact, the
busy season is lasting much longer than
was expected, even by the friends of the
Sugar Trust, and the profits of the COM
pany this summer will be immense beyond
all estimates.

There was TO change in the Stock Mar
ket this morning and il is now extremely
probable that there will be a very narrow
week owing to the triple holiday beginning
with Saturday. The market has been dull
enough for anyone as it is, but with the
prospect of a long close during which so
many things may happen it is certain
that neither traders nor brokers will care
to venture much meanwhile. At the OPP
ening this morning there was some little
strength shown. by Sugar. Brooklyn Rapid
Transit the Steel securities, and a few
ether stocks, but before the close Of the
first hour even these small attempts at
an advance died out. Prices showed little
change from the close Of yesterday. and
there was not much chance that there
would be any during the session.
The news of the morning was unimpor-
tant. London was a trife frner on what
it considered a slightly better situation in
China The banks have gained from the
Sub-Treasury this week and the bank state
ment is likely to be a good one Money is
coming East from San Francisco owing TO
the receipts OF gold at the Sub-Treasury
there from Alaska and Australia. The call
money rate continues at the lowest. The
strike of the anthracite coal miners has
been postponed for ten days and it may
now be aveTted. but the Street likes the
uncertainty of this situation no better than
it would have liked the certainty of a
strike More earnings statements received
this morning are all good.

Messrs A. Fischer. a. ID. Wolmarans, AID
c. H. Vessels. and their secretaries. left
the city fc- Boston at 10 O'Clock this morn
ing. They would not talk publicly about
the latest news from South Africa this
morning, but through Secretary Philip
Vessels. an idea was obtained of the opin
lens entertained by the ENJOYS Of the re-
ports Of General Roberts progress.
I'VE are inclined to lock with much dis
credit upon the statement that Johannes
burg has been taken or that the Beers have
slven up the struggle" Mr.. Vessels said.
"AIl the dispatches which We get come to
us in a doetored form. We have not got
control Of the cable. Mr.. Fischer has in
his possession now a number Of letters
which give accounts OK credible victories
by the Beers, concerning which not line
got into print. Even if johannesburg has
surrendered, We feel sure that that will rot
end the war, Our people viii fight 10 the
end unless some concessions are made to
US. We are fair We are willing to submit
our grievances TO a committee of arbitra-
ton. II that committee decides against
US. we are willing to go down; if other
wise, We want our rights"
Mr. WesseIs said that the ENJOYS pro-
posed making an extensive trip through
the West. From Boston they expect to go
to Cleveland, then to Chicago. to Mil
waukee, and in fact 10 all the principal
cities Of the United. States.
