FEDERAL STEEL DIVIDENDS.

The decision by Judge Thomas against the pay
ment Of dividends by the Federal Steel Company is
regarded final inssmuch the injunction cases
were argued their merits by agreement OF coun-
sci. Judge Thomas will naturally uphold his own
decision the hearing OF the causes in the term
Of the Federal Circuit Court. beginning the first
Monday in October. AS matters now stand the
company appears 10 be without power to declare
dividends upon either class Of its stock before
January OF each year upon earnings in the preced
ing year. Judge Gary, the president OF the com
pany. says that under Judge Thomass decision IL
appears that the directors have the right 10 adopt
bylaw fixing the times for the declaration and
payment Of dividvnds the preferred stock. II is
probable that such a bylaw will be adopted. and
that the company will then proceed TO pay the
preferred dividends. As to dividends on the com
mon stock. Judge Gary says that under the de-
Of the year and after the dividends the pre-
ferred stock for the preceding year have been paid
Therefore attempt to pay dividends on the com
will probably be made until that time. w nat
the directors may do then cannot now be stated,
but Judge Gary saws that the interests OF stock
holders will be safeguarded and that they Will not
suffer from the unavoidable deay In paying the
dividend. Speaking of the business OF the com
pany Judge Gary says the outlook is more than
satisfactory. From present indications there IS
likely TO be a large revival OF railroad construction
next year. Heavy contracts for rails are now be
ing considered and at prices not far from the hign
prices prevailing in the steel rail- markets II
the proposed railroad construction is carried out. IL
will insure a large and profitable business not only
to the Federal Steel Company. but 10 all raj.

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS

While the dealings in stocks were still on re-
duced scale yesterday. the~narket was decidedly
stronger in tone. BY reason OF lower rates for
both call money and demand sterling bills the
belief was inspired that the money market was
easing and that there wosild not be resumption
OF gold exports. Reports OF railroad earnings
that were received showed that the remarkable
increase in traffic was being fully maintained.
The fear OF widespread labor troubles seemed
also 10 be subsiding as result OF the failure of
the street railroad strikes in Manhattan and
Brooklyn The crop news that came to hand
favorable This was especially true as to
corn which all accounts said was developing in
way practically 10 insure q crop Of at least
2O00OO0O00 bushels.
II was thought that the bank statement to-
day would be satisfactory exhibit. 1t was
believed that the surplus reserves would be ex-
panded, not this time by a reduction IN deposits
but by expansion in cash holdings through
the repayment of loans, and possibly by ad-
dition to the deposits. Friday is day when
the requirements Of Stock Exchange houses are
likely TO be urgent loans not made on
Saturday. those made on Friday holding good
until Monday. Accordingly if Friday be marked
as it was. by fall in the money rate. II is taken
for granted that the banks and other lenders are
better supplied with money than they nave been.
This too. was one OF the multiplying signs that
the belief was entertained that the demand
upon New-York for moving the crops would be
considerably less than in former years. An
other confirmation Of this belief the offer
ing of money in New-York in large amounts by
Western banks.
The general feeling in the Street was more
confident. 1t was agreed that the adverse fac
tors in the situation were at most temporary in
their character, and therefore could not for
more than the time being obstruct the influences
at work for further improvement in financial
and speculative affairs. The phenomenal gain In
the earnings of the railroads in particular was
regarded as furnishing proof OF the steadily in
creasing prosperity of the country at large. and
as disposing of the notion held in some pessi-
rlistic quarters that the Industrial and CONNER
cai activity was in the nature Of a passing
boom or squirt.
In extent of transactions Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit led the market. The demand for 1t was slim

ing its lines in spite OF the strike. The buying
Of the granger stocks was liberal and was based
on current earnings and the fine outlook for the
crops that are yet 10 be harvested. The largest
operations in the granger group were in Rock
