But little is heard regarding the soap trust, and the officials of the Procter Gamble Company deny any connection with such combination, and every one believes the officials of the Procter Gamble people, and not the stories sent out from other places. The enterprise has been a wonderfully prosperous one, and it la to the credit of Cincinnati that Its ownership will be kept there. Word comes from Cincinnati that P.

Buchert, one of the firm of P. Buchert Sons, of that elty, has been appointed supervisor of the entire copper work for the Kentucky Distilleries and Warehouse Company. Jacob Buchert is also to be superintendent of the coppersmith shops, which will be conducted by P. Buchert Sons, who will have control of the entire work, The companies are contemplating the erection of the largest and most complete copper, Iron and brass works in the country. The plant, Cineinnati people expect, will be located in that city, which will be the distributing point for distillery supplies for the distilleries of the abovenamed company.

This may or may not be true, as Louisville seems the natural headquarters of the syndicate. The London "Statist," of the 13th, has this opinion of the American stock market: "Much more attention has been paid to the American rallway market than for some time past. This la done to the idea that the present is a tavorable opportunity to Prices of American securities, it is held, have tallen appreciably from the highest points touched, and, consequently, there is more temptation to purchase in the hope that prices will again rise to simHar figures, Moreover, it is urged, that the present selling by American operators is due to exceptional causes, which are likely to be of a temporary nature, and that when these Influences are passed America will be desirous of repurchasing what they are now anxious to sell. There is much force in this contention. At the same time, those who wait awhile seem likely to be able to purchase at still lower prices." STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York Stock Exchange. New York, May 23. -Money on call steady per Inst loan 3 per cent. Prime mercantile paper per cent. Sterling exchange Arm, with actual business in bankers' bills at for demand and at for 60 days; posted rates and commercial bills silver certifcates bar silver Mexican dollars Government bonds steady: State bonds inactive: railroad bonds strong.

The total sale of stocks to-day amounted to 408,968 shares, Including: American Steel and Wire Sugar American Tobacco 900; Anaconda Ann Arbor preferred, Atchison preferred, Brooklyn Rapid Transit 63,500:: Burlington Consolidated Gas Continental Tobacco Denver and Rio Grande Federal Steel Manhattan Metropolitan Missouri Pacific New York Air Brake 3,100: Northern Paciflo Pennsylvania People's Gas Rock Island St. Paul Southern Pacific Tennessee Coal and Iron Union Pacifle United States Rubber Wheeland Lake Erle 3,000. Neglect of the stock exchange by the outside public continued to be the marked feature of trading, and, as is usual in a narrow market, prices drifted uneasily up and down, following the erratic movements of special stocks, DealInge were evidently almost wholly confined to the professional element, who seek profits on day's turn in prices. As this class of dealers watch pretty closely for what other people ara doing and proceed to do likewise, the net ettect in a day's business, or taking one day with another, is not large. Yesterday's late upward movement was followed by a realizing this morning and later by sharp advance which was practically wiped out before the close.

Sugar was the center of interest In the market and rebounded quite strongly from the early pressure, together with the affiliated glucose stocks, But realizing took off all the early gain and left it at the last five points below the highest and near the low point of the day. The early rise in Sugar was accompanied by a strong rally in the New York municipal stocks, Consolidated Gas, Manhattan, Brooklyn Transit and Metropolitan rising from to 4 points. This concurrent movement in the leading spectaltles gave quite an appearance of strength to the market for time and rallroad atocka gained In the upward movement. Weakness in wheat, and especially the reported selling from the. Southwest, helped this movement, but the persistent reports of insect damage and news from abroad that American.

wheat was practically unsalable at present prices, helped the late break in Grangers and Southwesterne. There was growth of uneasinesa, also the persistent hardening tendency of foreign exchange. The actual rate for demand sterling touched to-day, which Is near the gold export point. The continuing ease in money suggests that the methods employed to finance the Philippines payment to Spain nas forced something of a redundancy in the local money market, resulting in the rather artificial stiffness of exchange rates. Exchange on Berlin also hardened fraction today, although that money center was reported to be baying American stocks from London.

The newly-floated Industrial stocks continued rather conspicuously weak. Anaconda broke points, and in the outside market Amalgamated Copper, the payment of subscriptions for which was completed yesterday, tell to par, which is the subscription price. The clusing on the exchange was easy in tone, though rather dull, and showed net losses in all but a few cases. There was a good demand for some of the reorganization per cent. railroad bonds, the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific de both touching record pricen.

Total sales, par value, 000. United States Government bonds changed. A London cablegram says: holiday feeling continues here. The tone of to day's market was heavy on foreign prices, Americans opened fat and remained steady about parity. The volume of buying is much reduced.

New York allowed prices to slide, but a slight rally occurred in the street and the close was about the opening level. Coppers were strong early, but the finish was weaker. Fintos were Anacondas Utahs Bos. tons Spanish 4s were flat at 64 on the announcement that all the coupons after July will be postponed till the Cortes approve of the MAY 24, 1899.

off. The Cotton Market. Middling Ge; strict middling LEAF TOBACCO. Tuesday Evening, May Offerings were quite heavy to- day, but were of inferior quality generally. There was some complaint among warehousemen as to irregularity in the Burley market, especially on the grades above $8.

The trashes, tips and short leaf sold as high as ever when in good condition, but if not in good order were sharply discriminated against. Very little tobacco appeared that sold as high as $10 and the rejections on such grades were rather large, though buyers maintain that prices were unchanged, Offerings of dark were large and the result was not very satisfactory to the warehousemen, though buyers thought the market stronger than last week. There was an excellent demand lugs and common leaf. An offering of four hogsheads of fine black wrappers from Logan county was made at one warehouse, and the lot averaged about $9, the highest price being $9.30. The warehouse was not satisfied with the bids and rejected all the sales.

Such tobacco usually sells best privately. Receipts are very good this week. A great deal of transpianting has been done, The sales to-day were 712 hogsheads, classified as follows: Burley 342, dark 370: original Inspection 607, reviews 105.

The market opened quiet: and steady, with prices unchanged to 1 point higher, after which there was a slow improvement of a point or two on covering and some buying for Wall street and English accounts. The demand was met principally by an active Philadelphia concern with large foreign conneetions. The rank and file hesitated to take the short side of the account, owing to the fact that dispatches coming from the southern halt of the cotton belt indicated that the crop was in more or less critical condition, owing to protracted lack of inoisture, Private reports from Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida were particularly bad; the ravages from Insects in many localities were said to be serious. The force of such reports, however, was somewhat broken by improved accounts from the more northern districts. The crop accounts as a whole were quite as conflicting as they usually are at this season.

Under such conditions traders were generally slow to make operations on either side of the account. There was some buying on Southern orders, which gave preference to near positions, but as a class the Southern cuttingent held aloof. The Liverpool advices, following the Whitsuntide holidays, were disappointing. The market closed steady and points net higher. Spot cotton opened quiet; middling uplands do gull Closed steady and unenanged; sales 1,138 bales.
