THE GALVESTON DAILY NEWS, FRIDAY. MARCH 15. 1895.
NEW YORK SPECIAL.

I
■
St, Paul's Dividend Declared—New
York Central Affairs Envel-
oped in Fog.
BANK STOCK SELLS CHEAP.
Cotton Jumped Again, But Realizing; Sent It
Down—Speculation on the Next Crop.
Inman Says Planting Wiil Be Lale.
New York, March 14.—(Special.)—The St.
Paul directors at 3.15 p. m. announced
their dividend of 1 per cent. The stock
opened at 55, advanced to 55Va and declined
to 547s. The dividend is what was ex-
pected and Is not likely to hurt the stock
further. Jersey was prominent, advancing
2 per cent on bull rumors. The other coal-
ers were firmer. Lackawanna sold at
157%@160. New York Central opened at 93,
sold off to 94% and closed at 94%. The div-
idend is in as great a fog as ever. Mr.
Depew declared he had no official knowl-
edge of any reduction, but believed the
dividend would be satisfactory to all.
There was much noise in sugar and efforts
were made to have it recover its dividend,
but they met too much stock. The opening
was at par, ex-dividend, from which it was
quickly rushed to IOIV2 with a fall to 98%.
Fifty shares of Southern cotton oil sold at
auction at 38.
Bonds firm; sales, 500,000 Atchison fours
at 651/^#66; 100,000 seconds at 17%; Fort
Worths 68V2; 220,000 Kansas and Texas sec-
onds 47*4; Texas and Pacific seconds 23.
Silver further improved to 61%@62c. Lon-
don advanced to 28 l-16d.
Sterling stronger; sixties, $4.88; short,
$4.8914-; cables, $4.89%.
Eight hundred and fifty-nine shares
Whitney national bank of New Orleans
(hypothecated) were sold here by auction
for account of an estate at $165 per share,
while the stock in New Orleans is said to
be $360 per share bid.
The New York tind London Atchison
committees are now said to be agreed upon
all points and further that the underwrit-
ing of the assessment on the stock has
been arranged with the Barings.
Cotton jumped 9 points at the very open-
ing on the favora'ble foreign advices, May
selling- at 5.97c. The advance, however,
was too tempting and realizations sent the
quotations back to 5.90c, closing at 5.93c bid.
The movement is practically ignored, as a
crop of nine and three quarters to ten
millions is accepted quite generally. The
vital point now is the next crop, the acre-
age of which can not be determined for
six weeks at least. It will hardly be a
matter of voluntary contentment in all
cases. John Inman said to-day the plant-
ing will start late and the south will not
have the season to raise a big crop if it
wanted to. Sales of May, 64,000; June, 46,-
000; August, 44,000; October, 20,000.
THE POST'S LONDON CABLE.
New York, March 14.—The Evening Post's
London cablegram says: The decrease in
coin and bullion is due to net imports of
£261,000 of gold during the week, the details
being £500 to Chile, £270,000 to the River
3'latte, £216,000 to India, £210,000 to the Cape,
£100,000 from Egypt, £172,000 from Australia,
£17,000 from Rournania, £6000 from Paris.
Two hundred and forty-seven bars were
bought. The decline of other deposits rep-
resents payments by the market. The
Bunk of England declared a dividend of
2V^ per cent. The Bank of France's rave
is down 2 per cent. The previous change
was in May, 1892. It is thought that the
present change indicates possible large
loans in Paris. The settlement was satis-
factorily concluded and the tone is gener-
ally good. Consols and other gilt-edged
stocks were higher on the prospect of the
issue of r.ine millions sterling by the gov-
ernment in deferred annuities for naval
expenses. Americans were irregular to
firm. There was a sharp rise in Atchison
bonds and Central Pacific shares. The
feature was the good buying of both. The
market closed steady. South American
stocks were strong.
BOSTON WOOL MARKET.
Boston, Mass., March 14.—The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter says:
This has been a quiet, uneventful week,
prices being steady as they have been of
late. The local trade in foreign wool, nota-
bly in Australian, which has been a fea-
ture since December, shows little abate-
ment. The sales of the week amount to
1,338,000 pounds domestic and 708,500 pounds
foreign, making a total of 2,046,500 pounds,
against a total of 2,067,500 pounds for the
previous week and a total of 2,795,500 pounds
for the corresponding week last year. The
sales since January 1, 1895. amount to 30,-
049,050 pounds, against 25,915,600 pounds a
year ago. The sales at Philadelphia have
amounted to 1,279,900 pounds.
LONDON WOOL SALES.
London, March 14.—There was a full at-
tendance at the auction sales to-day. The
number of bales offered was 13,938, of
which 500 were withdrawn. Following are

NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.
New York, March 14.—'The general trend
of speculation on the stock exchange to-
day was in the direction of higher prices,
and the great majority of shares dealt in
showed an advance at the close of business
of per cent, compared with the final
sales of yesterday. There were foreign
selling orders on the board at the opening,
but there was also buying for the long ac-
count, and this, together with purchases by
the local traders, served to sustain the
market Sugar opened at 100, ex-dividend
of 3 per cent, a gain of *4, and made a fur-
ther advance of U per cent, the highest
point being reached at 2 o'clock. At 10 a.
m. there had been good offerings of the
stock, and suspicion was aroused that the
bull clique were liquidating part of their
holdings with the view to realizing some of
the profits of the late heavy rise. In the
last half hour th'* buying movement was
renewed, and a rally of 1% was followed
by a leaction of '»• The coal stocks were
favorably affected by reports to the effect
that existing differences between the com-
panies were in a fair way to In* arranged
within a short time. Purchases of New
Jersey Central were notably heavy, and
the shares advanced 2JS per rent to 6S"*,
reacting 1 per cent, rallying 's, receding
%, and closing at a recovery of %, the gain
on the day being 17S per cent. Delaware
and Lackawanna advanced 2^ and closed at
the highest. Delaware and Hudson rose
1>& and held all but % of the improvement.
General electric was actively traded in,
fluctuating between 29:^ and 2S*4, and clos-
ing midway between these figures at a loss
of % per rent on the day. There has not
been much trading in the grangers outside
of St. Paul, which was sold by the arbitrage
houses in the morning, but gave way U,
being sustained by purchases by the trad-
ers in the belief that 1 per cent dividend
will be declared. During the afternoon the
stock moved up Vs, but reacted '8. making
a net loss of !*,. The movement in the
other stocks of this group was narrow.
The general list was, in the main, strong
during the afternoon, except that there
was a sympathetic reaction with the de-
cline in sugar. In the final dealings, how-
ever. the market lost its heaviness and
closed fairly steady.
The trading in bonds during the day was
marked by considerable animation and
strength. The Atchison and Kansas and
Texas issues were again the leaders in ac-
tivity, and the aggregate sales were $983,-
000, of which $528,000 were Atchison fours.
The sales for the day footed up 1,SOS,00?
shares, an unusually large total.

PRODUCE.
Chicago, 111., March li.-Wheat started at
a shade better than it closed last night.
Much of the early steadiness resulted from
a bullish estimate by the Cincinnati Price
Current. Calculating upon a basis of 115,-
000,000 bushels in farmer hands, it calcu-
lated a reduction of the slocks of wheat to
45,000,000 bushels. That will represent the
visible, the invisible and in fart the total
of all the wheat in the country, at the rate
of consumption and the pn sent rate of ex-
port according to the authority referred to.
Minneapolis and Duluth received 237 cars,
against 234 cars last week. Primary mar-
ket receipts all told w<; ■ 303,000 bushels,
against 340,000 bushels on the corresponding
day last week. The export trade from the
four principal Atlantic puts amounted to
140,000 bushels, including both wheat and
flour. The foreign markets showed consid-
erable independence of h other. Liver-
pool was VI lower but . ly. The English
and French country m;;rk« is and cargoes
off coast and on passag- were firm. Clos-
ing quotations from Berlin wer>- ll4 marks
higher. There were num. runs reports from
Kunsas of wheat damaged from the freezes
and thawing and a letter from Texas said
that fields were being plowed up there. The
market gave very little icsponse to the
floods of bullish news which were received
at noon. The quick advance set shorts to
covering vigorously and the finish was firm
at 57Vjc for May.
The corn market was sluggish and dull.
It gave very little response to the compar-
ative firmness in wheat <arly in the day
and gave not a great deal of sympathy to
wheat during the latter part of the session.
May corn opened at 4;"^/16c, sold at 45%c
and closed at 40%c.
There was a fair trade in oats, all in
small lots. The strength in corn and wheat
was principally influential in creating firm-
ness in oats.
The provision " market opened strong.
Pork opened 12%c up, ros<- 35c in the course
of the session and closed with a net gain
of 40c. hard was at its highest about the
close and left off with a gain of 12%e. Ribs
rose to 15c over the previous ( losing price.
The covering of a heavy line of shorts for
a prominent provision linn was said to un-
derlie the day's dullness and the packers
were free sellers.
Estimated receipts for Friday: Wheat, 17
cars; corn, 130 cars; oats, 140 cars; hogs,
30,000 head.
