PRIVATE WIRE ADVICEs.
Earmarks of a Steady and Substan-
tiaI Movement Coming.
[Porterfeld & Co.'S Telegram

lP0rterneld d 90. 5 leIegram.I
NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Although Satur-
days close was encouraging to holders of
stocks, they can go home more jubilant
this evening. While there was no sensa-
tional pyrotechnic display. the quiet but
gradual advancement from the opening
showed all the earmarks of a steady and
substantial movement coming. The open
ing was from quarters to halves above the
previous close prices and soon the leaders,
ST. Paul, Atchison and others. recorded
s. advance. The general list sympathized,
especially the fractions. which have for
some time been neglected. Naturally pro-
fit taking caused some shading from the
extreme high points, but the close demon
strated that the buying was much better
than the selling. AS we have fully stated
in our financial situation" issued this
morning, the money situation is better.
The crop movement has been provided for.
Crops larger than early estimates,
earnings are increasing and there is every
inducement and incentive TO encourage buy
ing stocks now while they are cheap Among
the safest the Erie issues commend them
selves and even at these prices we do not
hesitate advising their purchase. The
same can be said of the other coalers.
Warm weather means much to the Western
rails. especially Atchison and Missouri
Pacific and the corn roads.

ProfessionaIsW Were Active.

IAlbert r. Thompson Co.'S telegram
NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-The market this
morning displayed the favorable sentiment
that was induced by the announcement Of
the Metropolitan merger and the whole
market benefited by the strength in that
stock. However. the trading was not of
commission house character, the public
seeming disposed to watch the movements
of the larger interests rather than come
in on the advance. There was a great deal
of good buying, but the professionals were
the most active participants in the trading.
In the afternoon there was a distinct
tendency to profit-taking and upon the
attempt to realize, the market became
rather dull, indicating that any consider
able pressure TO sell would bring about a
reaction, as the buying power has some
what diminished. Although a recession is
now to be expected, the undertone of the
market is strong and should easily resist
an attempt to depress prices to any great
extent.

receipts of cattle, although not quite as large
as week ago. show a fair increase over a
year ago. and were good average for Monday
market very large percentage of the receipts
were Texas and Western steers The supply
of native cattle was small, but the offerings
were about good usual at this time in
the week. The market opened with a fair de-
mand from local sources. but there was no ur-
gent competition between buyers. In sympathy
with reports from other places the best cattle
in their class sold at steady to strong prices
compared with those prevailing for equal kinds
at the close of last week. There were no sales
reported higher, but most dealers could see a
better feeling in the market for choice cattle
and unless the receipts become excessive there
is a fair outlook for this class the ensuing week
Statesmen who had common to medium stock to
sell reported dull market, and it was very diff
ncult to negotiate sales at steady prices. A
fair clearance finally made with local pack-
ing houses the principal buyers. Sales of steers
included 1225 to 1.315-lb kinds at s4sO@5r5: a
small bunch Of feeders, weighing nearly 1920
lbs, brought $4.35. and lot averaging nearly
900 lbs sold at 1910. There were no heifers
reported above 81, and feeding heifers sold at
1885, There were no cows here to-day good
enough to bring $3.50. and. while good. they.
CT course. were not top kinds. Fair cows sold at
$685. and Gamers at $1,000. % The calf mar
ket was considered steady. with sales at e. 2sa
$50. Sales of Western steers included 1o73 TO
1173-lb kinds at ss.6O@425. which was consid-
cred steady. There was competition for the
quarantine cattle, and no sales were reported
