New York, Nov. 5.-Until the last
half hour Of business at the Stock ex-
change today the market for stocks
ruled quiet, but the undertone, as usual
of late, was decidedly firm. In the final
dealings, however, trading was more
active and the bullish feeling quite pro-
nounced. The bulk of the purchases
were for the purpose of covering short
contracts, the small bears having con-
cluded that as some of their leaders
had covered in st. Paul, it was time for
them to change
The anthracite coalers did not SYM
pathize with the Improvement, and Jer-
sey Central ruled heavy, closing at
9l%. The stock was influenced by the
talk of reduction in the dividend. The
advance in the general list ranged " to
l per cent. The market closed strong
with an advancing tendency. Sales,
100000 shares.

end the bond and mortgage will have to be
foreclosed. and the Government will have
to take possession Of the road from Cali
fornia to Omaha to operate it or lease it as
may be deemed wisest. There is no other
alternative that is consistent with due
regard for the country through which the
railroad runs. This plan, of course, ex-
tinguisbes all securities that come after
the subsidy bonds. If such a consnmma-
ton seems hard on the holders Of those
Junior securities. who cannot be numerous
nor their holdings large, IL must be remem-
bered that 1t ought to have been foreseen
long ago, and that so far as the original
builders and their heirs are concerned they
will hardly be reduced, by the sacrifice Of
their shares Of stock. to practice any
grinding economies in living. The few
English stockholders who must suffer are
to be pitied. But they took the chances.
They knew all about the subsidy bonds to
double or more the value of the road when
they bought their watered shares. If they
have sent a committee to this country to
try to persuade Congress to pursue an un-
businesslike course when the business
course is open they will find that they have
come on FOOLS errand.

FROM PILLAR TO POST.

The following from the Los Angeles
Herald gives fair idea of the manner in
which the interests of this State have been
kicked from pillar to post when the States
interests have conflcted with those of the
Southern Pacific Company:
In 1876 the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany had absolute control Of the water front of
San PEDRO and Of all freights coming into
Southern California by sea up to that year.
AT that time, however, new road running to
Santa Monica was constructed and costly
wharves were built at that place. Finding that
the new enterprise was interfering with its
monopoly, the Southern Pacific bought the
new road and blew up and totally destroyed
the wharves. At that time Mr.. Huntingdon 8
engineers declared that Santa Monica was an
unsafe anchorage and that it could never be
improved. From the time that the wharves
line reached San Pedro, Mr.. Huntington and
his engineers fully conceded with the Govern
ment authorities in that San Pedro was the
proper site for the deep-water harbOr. Finding
that his monopoly was again in danger, MIR.
huntington suddenly changed his views on the
harbor question, and selecting point on the
coast above Santa Monica, bought the water
frontage. secured all the possible approaches,
built wharf, and, declaring that San Pedro

the construc ion of a breakwater for The pro-
teclioa of his wharf.
In fact California has for the last thirty
years been somewhat in the same position
that the United States Supreme Court
once declared negroes to be init has had
no rights the Southern Pacific was bound
to respect. But the present outlook is
that an emancipation proclamation is
about to be issued. Like the procIama-
ton freeing black men from servltude, 1t
has been held back long time. A COM

Gustries in all parts of the State. discrim-
mating between one producer and another,
naturally exercises a good deal of inf1u-
euce. But the emancipation proclamation
is now being circulated among the people
in the form of a subscription to the capital
stock of the San Joaquin Railroad.
