PUSHING ON SOUTH
Plans Of the Valley Road to Condemn
Desired Rights of Way

At meeting of the directors of the
San Francisco and San joaquin VALLEY
railroad on Tuesday afternoon in San
Francisco Chief Engineer Storey re-.
ported that some additional rights of way
had been secured for the proposed extern
sion south of Fresno by the way of
Reedley and Visalia says the Examiner.
Committees of citizens in that part of
the valley are still hard at work trying
to complete rights of way for the COM
pany, and Mr. Storey expressed the opin-
ion that the committees were working
with commendable zeal and would be-
fore long accomplish good results
Concerning the extension south of
Fresno by way of Hanford, he thought
the right of way could not be completed
without condemning three pieces of
property, one near Fresno and the
other two south of Kings river, He
urged the directors to push these con-
demnation suits without delay, and the
directors agreed to carry out his rec
ommendation.
The first lot of the 5000 new bonds of
$1,000 each now being engraved for the
company in New York, are expected to

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Dullness and de-

stock market and some sensational move
...ents were noted in the usually inactive
shares. The news of the day worked In
.uvor of the bears. but there was little or
4, evidence OF liquidation In the leading
shares. Expectations of favorable SEN
timental erect on the reduction in the
minimum rate of discount of the Bank OF
England to 31s per cent were not realized,
owing to an unlocked for further selling
movement in the market for foreign ac-
Count. Covering of shorts impaired stead
laess to the market at intervals, but the
b,Rin trend of prices was downward, the
Yelling pressure being most pronounced In
Inc late dealings. The speculation pre-
l~nted but little feature outside of some
tf the usually inactive specialties. The
hrneral market closed weak at a net loss
w u point or thereabouts, IN the more ac-
I've shares. Railway bonds ruled generally
hrm on moderate dealings. The inactive
issues again attracted the most attention
The sales were 81, 157,0 ,000 Government
