Deals in In q ustrials.

Nearly ali of the days most extensive
movements took place among the indus
trial and miscellaneous stocks. Con-
spicuous features were Sugar Refining, the
Copper stocks, American Smelling, and
the National Lead shares.
The movement in the latter was at
tended by reports that closer union be-
tween the various companies engaged in
the reduction Cf lead ores was contem-
plated and the strength of Smelling was
referred to as being que to the same in
fuence.
The recent material advance in the
prices for the refined products of the lead
company was an additional and more def
rite influence in the course OF these
stocks. Nothing that was novel was
cited in connection with the strength of
Sugar Refining, but buying of the stock
seemed to be still based upon the likeli-
tood of the speedy revision of the tariff
on Cuban products
The Washington times., 1902-01-28
Railway stocks Dull.

The local traction stocks followed the
same irregular lines that were noted in
the railway list. Metropolitan Street
Railway was comparatively heavy. Apart
from the earnings reported and the vary
ing notions entertained in regard to the
upshot of the Northern Securities litiga-
tion, little or nothing could be cited in
connection with the dealings of the rail-
way list.
The fluctuations there for the most part
were limited and irregular. with the
dealings largest in Atchison, Southern
Pacific, Union Pacific, st. Paul. and the
Southern Railway shares. The last named
were firm, with unusual activity in the
preferred stock, the strength of which
was plainly based upon the expectations
that it would be placed on a per cent
dividend basis at the directors meeting
In March.
American stocks continued depressed
in the London market, which was gen
orally dull and heavy except for the
Kaffir stocks, which advanced on the
rumors of the capture of an important
Boer leader. The dealings here for for
eign account were. however, very small
in volume, hut almost wholly on the SELL
ing side.
The money market conditions continued
extremely easy, with some particularly
heavy borrowing on call reported under
3 per cent.

eral situation comprised an unusual num-
Der of important circumstances Of a more
or less conflicting character, the com
bined effect OF which was only to increase
the irregularity OF the market, without
imparting 10 il material gain in anima-
tion.
As was 10 be expected, attention was
chiefly directed toward ,he beginning of
the arguments before the supreme Court
at Washington in the Northern Securities
case.
Disturb the Market.
The attention given to this matter and
the apprehension that the final decision
in the case might be indefinitely delayed
were the main factors in the early unset
tlement of the market. which tendency al
times was quite pronounced. In conse-
Quence also OF the concentration of inter
est in this question. less attention was
paid to other OF the days occurrences.
Included in the latter were number OF
most excellent returns OF railway traffic
for various periods, a very sharp reaction
in the grain markets at Chicago. and an
advance in the selling prices for copper.
Inasmuch as this last development was
preceded by what appeared to be semi
authoritative statements setting forth the
most depressed conditions in the copper
trade, the rise in the metal and the at
tending advance in Amalgamated Copper
End Anaconda mining stocks naturally eN-
cited great deal OF attention.
Labor Situation Causes Unrest.
AS against the noted circumstances OF
the day upon which favorable cOnstruc-
tion might be placed, a good deal of un-
easiness was noted regarding the labor
situation in the anthracite coal regions
although similar apprehensicns are quite
scasonable at this time. and indeed they
recur with each annual spring conven-
tion of the United Mine Workers.
All of the anthracite coal stocks re-
fected TO a greater or less extent the un-
easiness in respect TO the labor situ-
alton as affecting those properties. An
additional depressing influence in this
quarter today was furnished by the dis
semination of more definite reports that
the Erie Railway Company would soon
announce new issue of bonds.
According to today's rumors the issue
will amount to s2i, Coo 600 3 per cent bonds
convertible into first preferred stock,
and it was said that the holders of the
latter would have the right 10 subscribe
to the new issue 10 the extent OF 30 per
cent of their holdings.
