STOCK MARKET BUOYANT
Hobson's Heroism Finds Pronoune-
ed Reflection on Change.
Trading Indicates Further, But
Temporary Diversion From
Granger Stocks.

New York, June 6--n was to be expect
ed that in a stock market in which the
progress of hostIities constitutes the
dominant influence. such a stirring Incl
dent as that which took place in Santiago
harbor on Friday would find pronounced
reflection. Aside from the practical value
of Hobson's 5 achievement its almost spec
tacular aspect was bound TO have no little
influence upon speculative sentiment and
there can be no doubt that at least some
portion of today's buying of stock could
be ascribed thereto.
This incident of the war, together with
the satisfactory material situation ac-
counted for the general tone of cheerful
ness that characterized the days stock
market. In addition number of impor-
tant companies will act upon theif divi-
dend this tnd next week, among them
being Western Union, Manhattan and
Sugar Refining, while it was believed that
returns would be Forthcoming upon some
other stocks not yet regarded as regular
dividend payers.
Rumor has named Northern Pacific and
Denver and Rio Grande among the latter
The trading showed further but prob
ably temporary diversion of interest from
the granger stocks to other quarters of
the market. The Northern Pacifics were
active and the heavy dealings there could
undoubtedly be referred TO dividends ex-
pected. Union Pacific and Atchison were
also heavily dealt in the trades being
based upon the splendid prospects for
these companies involved in the agricuI-
tural situation in the sections traversed
by the lines. Among the unreorganized
securities Baltimore and Ohio was con-
spicuous. The plans of reorganization of
both PROPERTIES are expected to be issued
within short time.
London houses traded heavily in this
market, being large buyers at the opening.
but later they shifted their position. The
local market opened with general sharp
advances. The actual foreign dealings
here had little effect upon. prices.
Realizing sales were reported through
out the market The Industrial stocks
contributed their quota to the days
fairly large total dealings and We're
strong, particularly for Sugar Refining
and Peoples Gas The market closed
quiet and generally limited changes on
the days dealings.

AID FOR OUR SOLDIERS.
Chaplain Couden Proposes To Or
EnniEe N Relief society.

EnniKe Relief Society.
Through the influence Of Rev. Henry n.
Couden. CHAPLAIN Of the House Of Rep
resentatives. a noble work has begun with
the object Of tightening in a measure
the burdens Of war that fan upon the
District volunteers and relieving the
wives and mothers left at home.
Chaplain Couden is an old soldier, and
appreciates the exigencies of war from
personal experience. He proposes the or
ganization of a relief society. whose pur-
pose shall be TO facilitate the work of
sending food. clothing and other supplies
to the volunteers from Washington, deli
cacies and medical necessities 10 the sick
and wounded, and all other relief not
usually available in camp.
The society will find yet broader field
in relieving the needs of wives and
mothers here at home whose sons and
husbands have gone to the front with
the District regiment. In the event of
sterner exigencies, the society will assist
in the work of bringing the dead home
for burial in cases where the bereaved
ones are unable to do it with their own
independent means.
To effect the organization of such a
society Rev. Couden has arranged for a
preliminary meeting in G. A. r. Hall Fri
day night He has issued the follow
ing call:
To the relatives, friends and all citizens
interested in the First Regiment, Dis
trict of Columbia Volunteers:
While my sympathies go out to all sol
diers my heart is naturally with the Dis
trict boys and l want to do something to
tighten the burdens incident to the life
of soldier and be ready should our boys
be called upon TO face the bullets of the
enemy to render them assistance. / have,
therefore, engaged the G. A. r. Hall on
Pennsylvania Avenue. between Four
teenth and Fifteenth Streets, and shall be
glad to meet all who feel / do upon this
matter al p. m. Friday, June 10, that
we may effect an organization which win
put US in the way of the desired end.

advances especially in the lower priced
stocks that have been attracting particu-

afternoon there was a drop and at the
close the advance had all been lost and
more in most instances Apparently this
was a traders market, as there was
nothing in the news of the day to affect the
early advance or the later drop. The sit

Northern Pacific is one of the new IA

day The fine showing of the road for the
last ten months and for the month of
April is easily accountable for this. The
total net income for April after deducting
taxes. was s756. 600. against sS59,oO0 last
wear. In the first ten months OF the fiscal
year the road earned, after charges, per
cent. on the preferred for the year and 2
per cent on the common. Figuring the
matter another way, the road earned the
years charges and i per cent on the pre-
ferred in ten months and a surplus of
$3.50 600. with the next two months free for
the common. May and June net last year
exceeded a million. Dow, Jones & Co.
assert that there is every reason TO be-
lieve the company will show 3-4 per cent
earned for the common in the year.
Whether this is so or not, II is not prob

company will wait for time and give the
benefit of the prosperity TO the preferred,
