NEW YORK. Sept. 12.-The dullness pre-
yaillng in stock market speculation was in
tensihed today by the fact that on account
of the severe windstorm prevailing in the
States east of the Mississippi there was a
partial paralysis of Geographic communl-
cation to the Western and Northern points
which ordinarily furnish a considerable
quota of the total dealings on the stock
exchange. Apart from this the day opened
auspiciously enough. The latest reports
indicated Republican majority in Maine
in excess of the estimates, and in add
ton London's influence was again favora-
bic to higher prices.
The seemingly definite prospects for an
early collapse of the South African war
were among the main influences in the i'm
provement shown in the London market,
and they were reflected in advances not
only in the Kaffir shares. but in the gen.
eral list. The operations here for foreign
account resulted in the purchase on bal
ance of about 10000 shares While very
dull. the local market showed generally
firm tone.
On account of the very critical aspect of
the labor situation in Pennsylvania all OF
the anthracite coal shares were weak, ana
Baltimore and Ohio declined on the pub
LEGATION of earnings which were disappoint-
ing. Apart from these stocks, however,
there were slight advances. Notwithstand-
ing the dullness of the market the specu-
lative interest was fairly well distributed
and was reflected in virtually every quar-
ter of the market.
Among the more conspicuous of the rail-
way list were Northern Pacific, Missouri
Pacific. and the Atchison shares. St Paul
and the other granger shares were some
what depressed in the early dealings, but
recovered quickly. and Louisville and Nash
willie and Southern Railway preferred con-
tinued firm.
New York Central was firm on mod
crate increase in activity. The industrial
quarter. the local traction grouf. and the
stocks classed as ''specialties'' also showed
considerable firmness. Peoples Gas was
particularly steady, and Brooklyn Rapid
Transit and Manhattan Railway were in
good demand. The steel Industrial stock
showed small gains ON light transactions,
while Sugar Refining was comparatively
neglected.

port of the company for July cannot but

few holders of the stock may be consid-
ering the chance that IL the Democrats

that it may so of somewhat. but careful
people consider il one of the most attrac-
tive Investments on the list.
The Southern Railway earnings for the
first week Of September showed an in
crease OF $si.59S, and since July l an in
crease of 1861, S92. Both Southern and
Louisville and Nashville continued strong
yesterday. though not active. II cannot
be doubted that this strength is due partly
10 the big price of cotton. The August ex-
port figures of cotton published in The
Times yesterday are magnificent and it Is
easy to predict that the developments in
the next three or four months Will he
equally good. The Southern planters are
very likely to be more prosperous this
winter than at any time before for many
years One of the rumors yesterday was
that Neili the expert" will publish a
very bullish letter today.
The Missouri Pacific earnings for the
first week of September Increased $4,000.
The record for the calendar year to date
is ali increase of S1,191. 7iS. The Pacific
securities were among the best on the list.
Missouri Pacific advanced fractionally TO

point to 50 3-S and Southern Pacific ad-
vanced to 81.
The Atchison securities were both
strong yesterday. Others of the grangers
held their own we'll. The weekly crop re-
port was considered gooc one, especially
with reference to corn and the Atchison
section. Another bullish influence fer the
Atchison securities was the report from
officials OF the system that its property
in Texas suffered very little in the hurri-
cane. The feeling regarding Atchison
preferred has been bullish for several
weeks, and there is steady though quiet
buying OF the stock around 20. II is con-
sidered to be selling much too low for
per cent stock on which more than
double the dividend is being earned.

is feeling that these securities OF the

undoubtedly waiting and watching anN-
iously fer any sign of what Mr.. Gates pro-

There was little better stock market
yesterday than has been usual recently
Business was dull, but prices advanced
fraetionally all over the list and in some
cases a point or so. No especial signif-
canoe can be attached to the trining I'M
proyement, as it was apparently due
almost entirely to professional covering
and the buying of one or two of the
cliques. In the same way it is not well TO
assume that the Improvement will con-
tinue. Professional advances are usually
followed by professional declines with
great regularity. And more than this It
is not believed that the important people
are yet ready for an advance in prices.
They have not yet purchased as much
stock as they desire Later, and at no
very distant date. a good advance is
