x . ports of dull market and no interest shown. Our opening was slightly better than the close, but with no activity for the early hours, when reports of hot, dry weather in France, together with bad RusN sian crop advices, caused better leeilhS among investors and brought shorts 10 coK- CT, the closing prices ranging 1 cent above yesterdays low point. Northwestern re- ceipts did not prove as heavy as antlei- pated, although considerably over those or last year. Altogether, the conservative ele- ment consider prices low enough, and thlnk it may do to buy around these prices. corn was neglected, the days range haruy showing Ac huctuation, and holders seenl very undecided as to it's future. ProVlslons were further advanced on the cool Weathei 1 and good southern trade reports, ana VIII likely work some higher. After a storm comes calm We believe after the open ing tomorrow rallies will follow. 5i

 Birmingham, September S.-London com tinued to believe in the extra dividend on St. Paul, and consequently sent buying or ders to us this morning. The friends on this side followed this, despite the hleh money advances of from 1a to 2 per cent. The stength continued until the meetlhg' when advance rumors caused sohe let'' o izing but market continued steady. A1ter 7 D. 1n the announcement of the regular dlV- idend proved a shocking disappointment 10 this following, and large blocks or St' faul and other railways were thrown upon the market, resulting in nearly 4 per cent break in St. Paul, with the list sympatniz- ing Houseman helped to stem the s.S,ih pede by purchasing 900 St. Paul on tue break. but the offerings were too heaVy and the rally was feeble.

To the Stockholders and Board OF d.

company. Yours truly,
JOHN E. SEARLEs.s
Mr.. Searles' position as the cxecu-
tive head OF the suSnr trust added
great weight to the standing Of the
company.
It was at this time that the promi-
nent citizens who had lent their names
so freely TO float the enterprise began
to realize the. position. IN which they
would be placed In the. event OF its coll
lapse. AZ meeting OF the Philadelphia
ca pitalists, who. like Cashier Quinlan,
had beer led Into a bad thing Sit was
decided 10 take heroic measures.
GABLE was turned out OF the man
agement OF the company and ceased to
have anything to do with Its affairs.
The sale OF stock was stopped so far as
the Philadelphia people could prevent
il. An executive committee OF five
members was chosen TO look after af-
fairs. ". K. Ku-tz was deposed as Sec
Rotary. To prevent the appointment Of
receiver and wiping out OF the IN
.terests OF the thousand or more stock
holders, It was determined 10 float a
Fond Issue for $500 900, and the PROPOSE
ton was brought before the annual
meeting OF tie stockholders in Jersef
City, January L.. Up to last Saturday,
only s1s0. 900 had been subscribed, but It
Is believed that the bond subscription
will be successful, and the property
saved TO the stockholders. In which case

said, Will take legal steps to compel NJ.
