THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New. York, Aug. 22.-Dealings in
stocks still further decreased today,
but in spite of the extreme dullness OF
the market the undertone of firmness
which has recently characterized II
persisted. There were more points OF
positive strength in today's market
than in yesterdays. but the general
list showed perhaps slightly less sym
pathy than was the case yesterday.
The stocks in which the net changes
are noticeable are very few. Baltimore
and Ohio was Conspcuously strong all
day, rising an extreme four points,
and the btumnous coal carriers gem
orally were firm in sympathy. Ru-
mors persist in Wall street of pend
ing consolidation of all the leading
soft coal interests. There was also
late squirt in Missouri Pacific, which
carried the stock pa over last night.
Rumors of a beneficial agreement be-
tween Pennsylvania and Missouri Pa
CifiC concerning the wabash were re-
sponsible for the movement. Both
stocks were affected also by a nervous
short account. There was vigorous
advance in Amalgamated Copper in the
last hour, which lifted the stock 3R
points over last night and carrying
Anaconda with il Ia on the talk Of
further extensive consolidation of cop
per interests. The anthracite carriers
continued TO show strength, seemingly
on the general conditions in the trade
and the fact disclosed by the Erie's an
nual report that the stock of Lehigh
Valley had been distributed among the
other anthracite interests. The gains
extended to in Lackawanna, 3Ss in
Delaware and Hudson and 1% in 9TH
ers of the group. In all other promi-
nent stocks movements were restricted
to fractions. The firmness of the
United States Steel stocks was main
tained on very light volume of deal
ings. The firmness of the market was
in face of some rather notable selling
| for London account, due to the unset
| tied feeling on foreign bourses induced
by the Franco-Turkish imbrogio and
disappointment over the maintenance
| of the Bank of England rate. Total
sales today, 37S.900 shares.

A peculiar advertisement inserted in
an evening paper over the name of j.
Edward Addicks. and headed by the
word Caution" in bold letters, caused
considerable comment in financial cir
.cles yesterday. 1t read as follows:
All parties contemplating under
writing or purchasing securities
based upon the property OF the
Wilmington Coal Gas Company,
are warned TO carefully investigate
the gas situation i'm Wilmington
before doing so. The Oxy-HydrO-
gen Gas Company, Of Wilmington.
Del. is owned by my friends It's
works are practically finished, and
il will ultimately lay its pipes in
the city Of Wilmington. The result
Will undoubtedly be a prolonged
gas war, which will prevent the
Wilmington Coal Gas Company
from making any net earnings ap-
Dlicable to dividends or interest.

was recently bought as an investment

when asked for an explanation Of the
advertisement:
1t Is sour grapes We are not al
all concerned. Mr.. Addicl1s has a char
ter. but no authority from the city OF
Wilmington TO operate under it. as ne
found when he started TO lay pipes
some time since. OHr company has
ninety miles of pipe"
Mr.. Addicks was absent from the
city. but 10 was stated at his Office that
the advertisement meant just what il
said. An office employe said
