FRIDAY. June 30.
A demonstration OF the inherent strength OF
the stock market was furnished to-day when
In spite OF n furry in call money that carried
the rate to Is y cent. and left the rate at tho
close at IL y cent. there was a general ad-
vance in values. The opening rate was 4
cent. but not many loans were made at this
rate. The bulk OF the loans were made at u y
cent. although large amounts OF money were
placed at the higher rates. All tho loans made
on the Stock Exchange stand until Wednesday
merit and they came at time when there was
an exceptionally heavy demand to meet semi-
annual and quarterly interest and dividend
payments OF railroad and other CORPORATIONS
The July disbursements this year. includ-
ing Government payments. IRE. as fact.
the greatest on record. amounting. It
IL estimated, to some Sl2o.00O.000. 1t 10
natural to look for n considerable increase
In loans in the bank statement tomorrow
with . corresponding increase In deposits and
q pronounced shrinkage in the surplus re-
serves. In the week preceding July l. 1893.
loans increased SS.384. 600 and In the Same
week in 1897 loans increased Sl1.O26.OOO. In
the present week the banks have lost 81 768.-
600 to tho Sub-Treasury. $S.15O.0o0 In gold
shipped abroad and about $l.OOOOOO on in
tsrior exchange. A fairly strong money mar
ket for brief period Is not improbable.
Decided weakness developed In tho exchange
market as the result OF tho higher rates for
money here and the increasing ease In London.
Actual sterling rates fell of one-eighth cent
for sixty day bills and one-fourth cent for de-
mand exchange and cable transfers. Tho rate
for demand was thus made 4S7A. There
were no further engagements OF gold for OK
port and It was thought that by reason Of tho
drop in exchange the outward movement
might be at an end. There was again mod
crate buying OF stocks for London account.
and this contributed to the relaxation In OK
change.
Tho chief activity was in the shares OF the
so-called Granger railroads. There was par
ticularly good inquiry for Burlington and
Quincy Rock Island and st. Paul. and su bstan-
tial gains in the prices Of these stocks were re-
corded New York Central and Pennsylvania
Railroad also were freely bought at advancing
prices. Union Pacific developed strength.
After rally Manhattan Railway. Metropolitan
Street Railway and Brooklyn Rapid Transit
declined. Notwithstanding the reports OF
plans for n practical consolidation OF the
three companies. There was rise in Sugar
Refining on the growing profit In the sugar
business as the consequence of tho widening
difference between raw and refined sugars.
There was an expectation In the sugar trade
that the prices OF refined sugars would be
lowered. Less attention than usual was paid
to tho steel stocks They we're steady.

Examination of Train Service
Men.

On the Cincinnati and Southern Rail-
way an innovation in examination and
instruction of men engaged in train SER
vice has been introduced known as the
"Murphy Method" Ii the reports tha,
reach this Office are reliable, the new
method has many commendable fea-
lures. This method c%onsigns the "doc-
tors" dirty flags and m~ilti-colored yarns
to the scrap-heap, and substitutes there
a stereop,ican and a number OF slides,
from which are exhibited railway sig
mails in their natural colors and posi-
tons. A view OF a busy railroad yard is
thrown on the screen, and the man
subjected to examination "feels at
home" The switch targets and soma
phores Gloom up as natural as life
He is not b~efuddlel by a thousand
strings Of yarn, of half as many c%olors,
that are swished in his face by a "doc-
tor who does not know a driving-box
cellar from the cellar of II farm house.
1t is said that after the test is made in
daylight colors and slides are chang
to night scenes, and nany tiny lights
glimmer on the screen, making the view
as realistic as though you were p~eering
through your front cab window, pulling
a train into this same yard on a dark
night Instead Of confusing the mind,
il would seem that such a test would
sharpen the wits. OF course, the reli-
ability of the test wonll depend en-
I|irely upon the excellence OF the slides
used in the lantern-a defective slide
would be as bad or worse than the doc
tors bundle Of yarn.
Report says that TO Superintendent
W. J. Murphy, OF the Cincinnati South
ern, is due the credit OF first installing
such a test, and now it is proposed to
give mechanical instructions and tx-
aminations by the same means. Sec
tional diagrams OF brake mechanism,
valve motion, etc, will be thrown on
eanvas and the instructor will be able
to deal with large class.

Recent developments have practically
determined that the W r. Trgg Ship

awarded a contract by the government 20
build at least one of the cruisers provided
for in the plan to enlarge the United

Friends of Mr.. Trigs hope and believe
he will get a contract for two cruisers.
inasmuch as his bid, which was opened
in Washington yesterday, was the lowest
one for two cruisers. and II the regular

awarded to the lowest bidders the eX-
pectations Of the friends Of Mr.. Trigg will
surely be realized.
