The Philadelphia and Erie's statement for April, showing a decrease in net earnings- of Sloe. lOb, as com oared with the same month lust year, was unfavorably received by the "street" And yet the statement was more favorable than was indicated on the surface. In April last year the gross earnings were the largest for several years, excepting In 1890, when they amounted to in 18U2, to in 1893, to and this year to 8272,888. The decrease for April this year, as compared with the same month last year, is therefore 9108,811.

Another reason why net earnings in April lsst were so poor 1b the iact that in April, 181)3, operating expenses decreased 911,104 to 9268,468 as compared with the figures for the same month In 1892. Notwithstanding tbts reduction last year the management was successful In still further reducing expenses In A pril last by 960,704, the total being The present statement, therefore, is compared with a period when gross earnings Increased 920,702, while operating expenses decreased 911,194, thus making an Increase In net lor April, IW, of 940,896. The comparison between the month of April for the two years follows: 1893. 1894. Gross earnings 949,407 9278.888 Dec 8166.811 Operating 259,158 Dec.

The statement for May will make a much worse showing than has that for April, as aros earnings lu the former month were 9507,784 and net 9231,164, the latter being an Increase over May, 1692. of 993,955.

IT FLUCTUATED VIOLENTLY Heavy Rallziiur Sales Followed the Announcement That the Sugar Schedule In the Tariff Bill Had Been Adopted by the Senate Local Opera tors Made a Successful "Turn" In the Certificates, But Neglected Everything Else, Excepting the Tractions, Which Were Weak.

Interest was almost wholly centered on Sugar certificates yesterday, and its move ment back and forth, between a range of three points, was followed by one of the largest crowds that has gathered within the space allotted to this industrial during the presentyear. The trading was attended with considerable excitement, as there was no gauging the course of its price, the professional clique manipulating it to meet their own desires, and they were eminently successful. The fact that the Senate had deciaod to vote upon the sugar schedule in the tariff bill during the day was the magnet which attracted speculators, big and little, to the stock, and the belief that the schedule would be adopted as framed led to an active demand for the certificates for both accounts. The shorts were probably the heaviest buyers in the early trading, but the clique was responsible for the price opening 18 per cent, above the close on Monday. It did not stop here, however, but additional was added to the price before the clique began unloading on the innocent traders and public operators.

From lfl6 the price dropped to 1043, at which figure the manipulators again got in their work and succeeded in again working it up to 1061, which was the closing bid. The break, however, did not come until the announcement that the Senate had adopted the schedule. There was plenty of realizing indulged in then, and Philadelphia securod a liberal share of the profits. The action of the Senate in adopting the schedule, while it docs not necessarily imply that it will finally become a law, nevertheless has an important bearing upon the final result, and the movements of the clique in the certificates late in the day must certainly be taken as an indication of their belief as to what the final outcome will be. There is no doubt but that the short interest has now been largely eliminated, and a sharp reaction would not be surprising, bnteven if a few points are lost it does not foreshadow the defeat of the schedule.

The sales of Sugar yesterday aggregated 122.100 shares. Of the general market little need be said. It consisted of a brief and only fairly successful effort to advance prices of the other active industrials and an attempt to sell down the grangers. The latter met with but little encouragement, though the group scored a fractional loss on the day's trading. St.

Paul leading with a net decline of while Kock Island lost ft, Burlington and Northwest J. The general list of railway shares was, in fact inclined to be easier, but there was no pronounced weakness anywhere, bear pressure being conspicuous by its absence. Chicago Ga lost on selling by those who have recently advanced the stock. Cordage, on the other hand, was marked up a point, but failed to hold, and this was also true of Distillers and Lead, both of which, in the morning, showed considerable strength. General Electric, however, was hid up from 35 to 3G.1 and then reacted to 3iijj, thus scoring a net gain of fi.

In the final trading the market was irregular. Sugar being strong, while the general list was inclined to be reactionary. London hud very few orders for cither side of the account. No gold engagements were announced and short sterling exchange was a shade lower at about4.88A, with very little business doing. German and French exchanges were firm.

Tho rate of discount of in London has weakened Continental exchange on London. Gold exports this week will depend upon direct orders, unless there is a decided change in the situation affecting exchange. Local trading continued excessively dull, which was due partly to the fact that some of the largest houses on the street were actively engaged in trading in Sugar in the New York market. These houses have had accurate knowledge of the movement in this stock, and yesterday they were heavy sellers from 106J down to lOtJ. The neglect of the local market is fully reflected in the sales of Heading, which aggregated for the day only 910 shares, alt made between HAnftj.

One block of oue hundred shares sold sellers' 60 at 37. Lehigh Navigation sold only at 51, with 50j as the best bid at the close. Choctaw Coal and Railway was fractionally higher at 3. while North Penn advanced 2 to H6 and West Jersey i to M. Rroad Top preferred touched 50.
