MIDpLErowN, DE1., June 922.-The last

the meeting the party favoring the con.

and noisy time followed through the
discussions. 4 communication from

which stated the final reduction OF rates

report, this communication was intended
TO be the final action OF the two classes

Is also does sway with the system Of
chartering cars that has been in force
nine Year,, and because in reducing
freight to Jersey City and Boston S. per

with the following positive language;
l hardly think it necessary to summar.

a summing up Of eiGlh months OF incess.

have seen, shadow Of evidence in favor

not carry away with you the notion some.

this subject ought to be we'll known.

another; and when in our day l seek for

The Fluctuations Of Baltimore 4
Ohio Stock.

From the Philadelphia Times
Even the Baltimore & Ohio has not
withstood the effects Of the distrust Of
railway securities which has been grow.
ing for the past three years, and which
has not been steamed by the determined
and combined efforts OF managers, who
knew that their roads were Justly entitled
to the fullest confidence. That the Bal.
timOre Il Ohio has escaped being drawn
into the maelstrom is due entirely to the
fact that spectators in the Monumental
City generally confine themselves to corn
and grain and let the roads that carry
breadstufIs alone. Eighteen months ago
this stock was up to 17S, with Pennsylva.
mia ll2l and New York Central at los.
It fell off more rapidly than any other
during the year, dropping Sper cent in
the first quarter, while Pennsylvania held
its own and New York Central went up
10 per cent In July il had dropped to
l5l, with Pennsylvania at 100 and Cen.
trail at los, At the end Of the year it was
still there, with Pennsylvania 10 per cent
OF, and New York Central the same.
But since then Central has only dropped
10 per cent, Pennsylvania has been driv.
en- down 10 per cent on increased earn.
ings and an 8 per cent dividend, but Bal.
timOre 4 Ohio, with 10 per cent divi-
dend, has receded almost so per cent.
The sales well illustrate the ad.
vantage Of blind reports and secret nc.
counts. With sales OF $1,000 shares, the
bearish influence can depress it little
more than ! per cent, while after FIVE
shares of Baltimore & Ohio sell at 81 ,
the next eleven 60 at so, and the next
twenty-five at 20. Such decline as this
would put Third street in an uproar and
throw Wall street into a panic which
would be felt all over the country. The
reaction is quite "a sharp. With FIVE
sale', aggregsting only sixty.ive shares,
the stocks bounds from 81 TO 93, an ad.
vance Of Sl4 in a day. And yet major
ity Of the stock il owned by three parties.
There could not be palmer illustration
OF the battledore and shuttlecock action
OF the stock market and its utter worth.
Icssness "a an indicator OF values.
