Speculation During the Week Trans

New York. July 1.-The Evening Sum-
under the head, The Financial Out ook, %
says:
BY far the most noteworthy character
istic of the weeks stock market has been
the complete transfer of active specu!a-
tive interest from the industrial stocks
to the standard railway shares. Whereas
fortnight ago the stock tape recoTde1
dealings in thousands of shares of tie new
industrials, almost TO the exclusion of the
railway stocks. entirely contrary oondi-
tions ROW prevail. This state of III nss
is most wholesome and it is welcome alike
TO stock brokers and to bankers, who are
called upon to extend accommodation 10
the former. A most interesting question
il this respect. however, is as TO what
will become of the industrial shares. The
demand for them at the outset was who ly
speculative. They were created TO be sold.

market conditions Of the spring peIm.ttel

part Of their stock On hand.
The recent steady shrinkage in these
stocks notwithstanding the beginning OF
dividends in some instances, ref
steady liquidation, which has TO some eX-
tent been facilitated by the stability OF
the general market. On the other hand.
there are reasons for believing that the
various underwriting syrd:cates which
we're active in promoting these Industrial
combinations are still heavily loaded down
with these securities. There is at the
moment little or no market or demand for
these stocks and ii is difficult 10 tell how
the public appetite for them can be re-

MORE RIoTING EXPECTED.
Intense Excitement Prevailing n
the Fredonia Mines.

Marion, H., July 1.-Three of the ne
groes wounded yesterday by strikers at
the Fredonia mine near Carteryille. are
expected to die from the effects of their
wounds. In all it is reported twenty were
wounded The wife of a colored miner
was killed. The imported men are now
inside the stockade and have been armed
with guns. Another battle is impending
and grave results are feared.
The absence OF armed guards on the
train was all that prevented the shooting
at Fredonia from being an exact reproduc-
tion of the riot at Verden. The cause was
the same and the effects were different on
ly in the number of killed. The story of
the affray is quickly told. A carload of
colored diggers with their wives and chill
dren were being transported from Pana to
the Brush mine near Carterville, to take
the places of the striking miners at the
latter place. Instead OF bringing them
from Carbondale to Carterville, by the di-
rect route over the Paducah division of
the Illinois Central. they were brought
over the Johnstown City branch The road
does not reach this mining town, but runs
about two miles north of the place. There
is no station opposite the town. The ex-
citement about the mines is at high tension
and general riot at any moment is ex-
Dected.
