FRIDAY. Sept. 2.
That the depressing weather conditions MAJ
BE- clted'as q practical influence in the stool
market was shown not only in the falling aWay
IN the volume Of business to-day, but also II
the action Of the Governing COMMITTEES Of the
Stock Exchange In ordering q suspension Of
business tomorrow. In 30 doing the commit
teo reversed it's action Of earlier In the week
and It's course was In all the circumstances
q some Significance. The days market was
dull and irregular. The Granger shares moved
within exceedingly narrow limits, 81. Paul and
Burlington and Quincy making no progress In
oither direction on the days dealings. and the
other active shares. with a few exceptions.
0hoted at the close OF business only fractional
andirregular changes. The marketfound q new
leader in respect Of activity in Manhattan Rail-
val. which. after being sharply depressed In
the early dealings. enjoyed a rapid recovery.
though It still, closed nearly / y cent. below the
hiEhest figures Of the day. The buying Of the
stool was again attended by reports OF it's abb
0~orption by banking interests formerly iden-
tined with the property. but who severed their
oonnection Herewith some years ago. Should
current reports be verified there are hopes that
serious efforts may be made to rehabilitate the
company on lines that will permit 1t to enjoy
the full benefits Of lts invaluable franchise.
Other strong features of the market were
General Electric and Metropolitan Street Rail-
Way anu among TIC BDeClalbleb JneT0 WeT8
prominent advances In the Colorado Midland
shares. Central Pacific. New York Air Brake.
and Evansville and Terre Haute. The Pacific
Btocks were fairly steady on moderately active
dealings. A preliminary report Of the opera
aionS OF the Northern Pacific Company for the
ended fiscal year was made public. and It con-
lrmed the recently circulated rumors as to the
extent of the company's net earnings and the
disposition OF them intended by the manage
~pank nnt NJ tho atlrnlna affor the divt-
dends upon the preferred stock for the
ended year. a. fund OF $3.000,000 has been
set aside TO provide for the continuity OF the
dividends on that security. A substantial sur
pluS remains thereafter and the management
animated that the question OF a dividend upon
the common stock would receive consideration
later on In the year. The only pronounced de-
cline in the active stocks was in American
Tobacco. whore the selling was accounted for by
UtatSments that the latest negotiations for an
nmioable arrangement with the competing
manufacturers In the West had been
abandoned. As was to be expected In
the general circumstances Of the money
market and with a three days sus-
pension OF business PENDING the rates for
money on call were advanced. A number Of
the banks advanced the rates on standing loans
to 8 p cent. but that was the high limit of the
day. and q good deal Of money was employed
well under that figure. The common e&pecta-
tions that to-morrow's bank statement would
show q further heavy decrease in the surplus
reserves served to restrict action to-day, but
they did not. apparently. induce much liquida-
ton. The market closed quiet and featureless.
