n THE MACON TELEGRAPH: SATTJDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 1, 1894. THE WORLD OF TRADE. Reports by Wire From the Great Markets. New York. Nov. 20.—The published statement of President Havemeyer of the American Sugar Refining Company, nounclng that, owing to the lack of ders, the refineries would jo closed down, led to a grand rush to sell the certlfl cates at the opening of business today An Impression also nrevaUed that the dl rectors will cut the January dividend at their meeting early next week, and this aocelerate/l the downward movement, There was a tremendous crow dof brokers around the sugar post at the opening and nearly every one of them appeared to have a selling order.. At the sound of the gong fully 6.009 shares were of^ feral down to 81, against SO 3 .* at the close on Wednesday last Further sales de pressed the price to 83%. after which, un. dor purchases to cover shdrt contracts, a recoverey to 83%a% ensued. In some quarters there was a disposition to criti cise President Havemeyer, and It was stated that his action at this time was due mainly to a deslro to influence con gress and head off the movement to place sugar on the free list. Independent re finers, however, assert that the business has been anything but profitable of late aaid that Havemeyer was justified gy the trade conditions In closing iip the refin eries. Distillers was another weak spot in the early trading, and on the announce. ' of the proposed reorganization the piHce dropped from 9 to 7%. Chicago Gas was next taken in hand, and under pres sure of long stock, • fell 2 points to 69%. Tobacco broke 5 points to 90 and later rallied to 90%a%. The heaviness of the industrial group was duo In a great meas ure to a rumor that there had been a defalcation in one of the trusts. The American Tobacco Company was said to have been the sufferer, but this was of ficially denied. It Is intimated that tliero his been a defalcation, but the securities of the concern Involved are not dealt in afc^he Stock Exchange. The railway list was weak at the start, but rallied % to % per cent • -Later the selling 6f the Grangers was resumed on a large scale. The October statement of tho Chicago, Burlington and Quincy was clnsldered fa vorable at first, but when analysed it was discovered that the road bad. geen opor- ated for 49.28 per cent, and this created a more bearish feeling. The selling which followed the publication of the statement carried Chicago, Burlingtin and Quincy down 1%, st Paul % to 57%; Northwest % to 97, Rock Island % t9 60% and St. Paul and Omaha % to 32. Now Jersey Central was heavy and fell about 2 points to 92%; Manhattan sold down 1% to 104%; Western Union 1% to 86%; Southern rail way, preferred, 1% to 36%; Pan Handle, preferred, 3% to 42%; Oregon Impr • - •; 2 to 10% and Toledo, Ann Arbor and Northern Michigan 1% to 2%. The weak ness of tho last named was duo to the claim that the road would be reorganized entirely In the interest of the bondhold er. Tho sterling exchange market con tinues strong, with rates dangerously near the gold exporting point. It is said that some of tho shippers expect to forward gold next week. Money was more active, however, and this may prevent shipments of the yellow metal, notwithstanding the present predictions. Stocks closed steady at net declines from % to 2%. Tobacco lost 4%, Lake Shore gained %f. Total sales were 2G2.214 shares, of which 123,700 were American Sugar. The bond market was weak. Sales of listed stocks aggregated 125,000 shares; un listed. 37,000 shares. Treasury balances: Coin, 8112,239,000; Currency, 201,819,000. I To-day.

New York, Nov. 30.—The bears had their inning today. They kicked too many goals for the bulls. Liverpool was lower and dull; receipts at the ports and Inte rior towns were large; Southern spot prices gave way; Now Orleans dropped 16 to 18 points; there was more talk of 3,00,- 000 gales as the Texas crop estimate for this year; Manchester was depressed and a good many longs here and at the South let go; Liverpool dropped 4 to 4% points, with sales of only 7,000 bales and a de cline of l-32d, closing quiet. Spot prices declined % of a cent at New York, Sa vannah, Norfolk and Baltimore; % to 3-16 of a cent lower at Augusta and 1-16 at Memphis. . Receipts estimate dat 80,000 bales, including various, against 68.4S7 last week and 41,142 last year. Total for the week, about 360,000 bales, against 337,319 last week and 292,894 for the same week last year. New Orleans’ receipts esti mated at 8,000 to 9,000 tomorrow. The South offered cotton more freely. Tho bulls contend that the crop movement is so large that it cannot keep up at this rate much longer, but they havo been saying this for many weeks and there are those who look for a further de cline, due to selling by disgusted longs. New York future prices declined 16 points and ©tiled very close to the lowest point of .the day, barely Bteady, -with sales of 237, p i00 bales. At the decline there was new buying. Stevens & Co.

Chicago, Nov. 30.—In wheat the opening was active and regardless of liberal offer ings advance. Cables were e:icourae*ng anl displayed an Improved ton*. The re ceipts In the Ncrthwo.it were lea* than hist year, and above all .the caah demand kec-pn atrong. The action of the market was sharp, a libera! amount of bear neiv, was current and many local bulla sold out their lines, being afraid of 1L Ac« or i- Ing to BeerbvUm. exports of wheat from Russia from \ugust 1 to November 16 are 3,573,<*X) bushels, the largest on rec ord, exceeding 1891 by 16.00) bushels. There is one consolation the bulls can contem plate regarding this statement—the stuff h» shipped and doubtless consumed. Re ports were current regarding the Argen tine crop, on© saying it was 16,000,000 bushels larger than last year, while oth ers have it 30 to 35 per cent. less. Th© seaboard reports buying by foreigners, al though but little was worked for export. Corn was strong early and advanced of a cent on good buying for outside account and sympathy with wheat. Lo cal receipts exceeded expectations. The number of cara of contract grade, how ever, ran small. Of the 818 cars received today but thirty-six graded. It has been an active market throughout. Consider able reulizlng took rlaco at the advance, however. One noted house was credited with letting go 300,000 bushels. The market on hogs was firm, opening at a slight advance, with good buying by pack* i'm. ll*n;s at tlx- yards continue to show a falling off and this has proved a buoyant feature to futures. 8he hitter part of tho session an easier feeling bs- aamie apparent and" tho early gain was lost entirely. The market In hogs at tho yards ruled steady to firm. Lamson Bros. & Co. GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. Chicago, Nov. 30.—Until’the call price was encountered wheat did not meet with enough selling to utay its rising propen sities today, but the willingness of hold ers of thoso privileges to accept a meagre fraction as sufficient return on their In vestment, checked the advance most ef fectually. There was really but one bear argument heard And that was tho weath er. he bull points all came from abroad and wore various; May wheat opened from 59% to G0& sold between 59% and 60%, closing at C0%-% a cent higher than Wednesday. Cosh wheat was %a% of a cent higher than Wednesday. Buyers were scarce. he ready manner with which holders and early buyers took their profits in corn carried prices off from the high point of tho days session. The bulls have not' the stength of their convictions in this marke tand eare easily forced from tholr position. The wet weather was a Tfavorablo Influence in corn today. The Tstrcngth In wheat was us important as anything else in causing tho early ad vance. May opened at 49%. sold between 49% and 49, dosing at 43a%-% of a cent hitter. than Wednesday. In the cash market old corn was easy and new steady to a shade better. Oats wero in touch with their surround ings, although there was but a light trade and prices did not move geyond a narrow llmt. May oats closed % of a cent hlglier than on Wednesday. The feeling In tho cash market was firm, sales averaging %a% a cent higher than on Wednesday. Provisions.^—Higher prices were report ed in product during the early hours of today’s market, but moat of the gain (had disappeaed before the session was over. Tho live hog market showed an improve- ment and the effect added to its prod ucts. Estimates of tho stocks of pork, lard and riba were larger than they wero hitherto generally believed to bo. Selling on these predictions gave an easier tono to the later trade 4 . Closing prices wore 2% cents higher than Wednesday for Jan uary pork, unchanged for January lard and a shado higher for January ribs.

When the day is gone, and tho stars come oat, and the barber's shop is full, When low and clear you frequently hear the faint "D0as tho rasor pullf' There comes with a rush the man who is late, no matter how late it be, Who opens the door to look in and roar, "How many ahead of mo?" He sees a patient In every ohalr, and nil around the room Where vsr a man can sit or stand, In sUunce Ilka the tomb, Tho bristly faces and tousled heads are count ing the “nextrt" that b«. But thla tardy elf only thinks of himself— 1 "How many alioad of met" From Hhop to shop, from door to door he makes hia anxious round. He never will rest from his eogor quest while an open place is found. Bearded and restless the same old crowd In ev ery room ho'll nee, But ho rings the chlmo ou the oamoold rhyme —"How many ahead of me?" —Philadelphia Pries. I Ills Criticism. Professional art critics are by no moans tho only pooplo whose opinions of pictures are worth hearing, ai many an artist has found out. Michael Herllby had his little shop Insured In a popular oompnny, and tho agent presented him with a highly col ored lithograph representing tho burning of a block of building*. Mr. Herllby surveyed the ploture for some moments, muttering to himself the while. At Inst ho turned a dissatisfied faee upon the agent. “It’s inolghty purty,” ho said, "but It’s rnesilf doesn't call it ooraplate, sorr, not by anny manes." "Indeed," said the agent. "What li wanting, Mr. Hcrllhy?" "There’s the buildln's all rolght," said Michael, "an tlioro'ff tho folro lnglncw, an tho ladders, on tho horses, an tho ebmokg an cinders. Thoro’s tno payple runnin, an the folramon clhubiu oop an doon, but," said Mr. Horllhy, turning his haok on tho painted conflagration and confront ing tho infitimnco agent with an expression of strong discontent, "wholver in the woldo wurrld saw n blither av that kolnd goin on, an not a bit av a dog annywhere to l>o sane on tho sthrato, sorr? Who's the man 't painted that plcthur, O’ld lolko t' be tould?" concluded Mr. Herllby, waxing scornful.

A writer in Horlbner's Magazine preph* esiee the displacement of the newspaper by the phonograph. Bays the writes: "The voices of the whole world will be gathered up In the celluloid rolls, which the post will bring, morning by morning, to the subscribing bearers. Valets and la dle*' maids will soon loarn how to put them In place, tho axle of tho cylinder upon the two supports of the motor, and will carry them to the master or mistress at the hour of awakening. Lying soft and warm upon their pillow, thoy may hear it all, as if In a dream—foreign telegrams, financial news, humorous articles, the news of the day." — — ■ ■
