SATURDAY, July lip. II
In the short session Of Stock Exchange bust
ness to-day trading was active at advancing
values and at the close the majority OF issues
showed net gains compared with last nights
final prices. An increase in st. Pauls earnings
of SAL ,564 for the second week in July and
further favorable reports on the crops were the
Ntmuating influences in the Western railroad
shares st. Paul making record in the
upward movement at S6h. while Northwest
also went slightly above its preceding best
price of the year Traders evened contracts in
cident to the end of the week, but no weakness
developed, and commission house orders ex-
hibted increased demand for large number
Of issues. The shares of Southern roads Were
again attractive features with good inquiry
for Louisville and Nashville, and Southern Rail
way preferred, while in the bond department.
the Central Of Georgia issues reflected ;loder-
ately large buying movement, especially for tn
consolidated 5s. Southern industries have I'M
proved materially. and no better indication 81
this can be found than in the increased cam
ings Of the Southern roads and in the s'eaiy
absorption by good buyers OF the bonded issues.
In he Industrial list Sugar Refining was fairly
steady, with a small net loss at the close. and
further efforts made by the promoters OF
Consolidated Ice to make market for the com
mon and preferred stocks OF the company, when
were recently admitted to the unlisted depart
ment of the Exchange. The methods employed
In attempts to create market for this stock
are not meeting success so far as the public
and the greater part of the speculative COn
munity are concerned. and the fact that a div-
dend OF per cent has just been declared on the
preferred stock has not attracted any lesit-
mate buying. The capital stock % the COM
pany is only $9,i0S.3W. Of which S2.9ON.3'D j.
in preferred stock. so that To declare a dividend
Of q per cent on the last named requires only
S1149S4. Present efforts at booming the stock
cannot make il an investment favorte. The
promoters Of the stock evidently studying
hard to manipulate il IN order 10 attract specu-
lative buying, but the interest in ii has So far
amounted to insignificant proportions

POLITICIANS WON'T HELP MUCH.
From The West Jersey Press.


1T is becoming more apparent every day that
the friends OF the anti-racetrack amendment to
the Constitution need not expect much support
from the politicians In securing It's approval by
the people Most OF tho distinguished gentlemen
who devote the major part OF their time to the
study Of things political likely 10 be either
lukewarm or hostile '-(New-York Tribune.
There IL unfortunately good ground for this an
prehenson The politicians are not likely TO bestir
themselves actively at the special September cleo
ton and unless the law and order people take
the matter In hand there Is grave danger that the
anti-gambling amendment will be defeated. The
forces which formerly supported the racetracks

the moral element they likely TO carry the
day. II would be well to look the matter sntn rely
In the face and make calculations accordingly

took share remarking that he

that if we are going to have any
thing in St. Johnsbury we must all
take hold and help it along. The
