NEW HIGH RECORD
Reached BY St. Paul and Atchison
Yesterday But Most Of the Market
Was Dull

New York, Aug. 27.--Ne WHICH rec
ords were registered by st. Paul and
Atchson in the course of today. The
stock market was for the most part
irregular and dull, rejecting further
profit,taking in the Hartman issues
and other stocks, whose recent adj
yances have been most meteoric.
Atchisons high water mark was
attributed to the returns of that sys-
tenn for July, which show a net in
crease of $420,000. Trading was be-
low that of recent days and wah again
alrgely limited to the same stocks that
made up the bulk of last weeks re-
markable movement and
Southern Pacific, Atchison, st. Paul,
Reading, United States Steel and
Amalgamated Copper To this very
small list might be added Sugar,
which was pronounced the feature Of
the early trading by the reason of
its sharp advance on relatively large
transactions after the protracted per-
iod of inactivity.
The honey conditions manifested no
material change, call loans opening at
I5b per cent, with an increase for and
reduced supply of time accommoda-
Itions. Nevertheless, conservative
banking interests protested to feel
more at ease regarding the outlook.
Western adyices show the outlook as
pl. .1 Il
bright, earnings, as inStanced in Atchi-
son. running well ahead of last year,
grain roads showing 20 per cent with
mercantile prospect especially prom
Using. All eastern roads are taxed
beyound their carry ing capacity,
traffic being far in excess Of moving
facilities. The persistence of the ac-
tive list began showing general de-
clines of prices early in the after
noon. The feature of the greater
weakness were St Paul Smelling,
Chicago Northwestern, Union Paci
fic Northern Pacific, United States
Steel, while a number of specialties
registered marked recessions.
The closing was weak at about the
lowest prices of the day. A further
weakness was shown in foreign eX-
changes, which declined to $4.S420
just before the close, the lowest point
of the present movement A drop of
az in Cuban bonds reflected the
troubled conditions of affairs in that
country.

 In answer to inquiry made by a re- porter from the Dispatch, MT. Goern- CT stated that the stockholders are all New York people and that the capital for the company was practically guar anteed last March. at which time he was in Phoenix and the neighboring country looking for a convenient To- cation for putting up plant for handling the ores of Pinal and Marico- pa counties. The plant will command an excellent mineral territory and draw a great variety of ores from both the old and new camps of these two counties. MT. Jacoby, who is a stock exchange broker in New York has been identified with the smeltinS business for several years past, hay ing successfully financed two such plants before. MT. Oakes is a promi- nent attorney of New York and will act as the company's legal adviser at that end as well as it's secretary and treasurer.
 The company will begin with a ca pacity of 300 tons per day, to be in creased as the business may demand. It will be conducted principally as a custom shelter equipped with an up to date sampler, though negotiations are now under way for a mining prop erty of considerable extent to handle iu connection with the plant.
 MT Goerner has been interested iu the livestock and mining industry for the past eighteen years. He was for several years contracting cattle buyer throughout the west for the old West ern Union Cattle company. He was later engaged in the ore purchasing business in Nevada. and in 1900 erect ed the reduction plant for the South Pass Mines in Fremont county, Wy oming Mir. Goerner leaves for the east in October to arrange for plans and specifications through one of the large machinery companies and it is expected that his work will he com pleted in time to begin construction not later than December 1st.

The Republicans inform ant says that construction will be un- day way by December 1st. Following are the details as given in the Dis patch:
 The Phoenix and Eastern Smelling and Refining company is organized under the laws of Arizona. The ar ticles were filed at Phoenix last July. The officers are Ralph NJ. JacOby president; George J. Bealey, vice president; Chandler A. Oakes, -secre- tary and treasurer, all of New York City. George F. Goerner will be local manager of the company with head quarters at Phoenix.
 The capital stock is 5000 shares, pal
