The Extension of the Railway Troubles Af
 fected Stock Values Unfavorably. -----

he Extension of the Railway Troubles Al fected Stock Values Unfavorably.
 New York, July 2.-The somewhat more serious aspect of the American Railway Union strike at the west and the further extension Of the troubles had an unfavorable effect on stock val4 ues at the opening to-day and in the first half hour or so of business gen. eral decline in prices ensued. Pullman Palace scored the heaviest loss, falling from 159h to 155h. The grangers being right in the center of the fight was also particularly weak, St. Paul declining from 59ss to 5S%. Rock Island from 67 to 66h. Northwest from 1o4k to IDA, and Burlington and Quincy from 7e% to 75X. Missouri Pacific also lost N, selling down to 25A, but the general run of railway stocks declined only A to k per cent.
 The bears attempted to make little capital out of the strike news, but after the attack at the opening and the fail- ure to shake out any important amounts of long stock, they devoted the remain der of the session to trying to get back their contracts. Neither strike news nor unfavorable railway earnings have any influence on holders, who appear to be content to hold their stocks tln- til business improves. The light sfipz rnents of gold and the further decline in sterling exchange neutralized tnc un-
