The evening times., 1899-03-14

The stock market this morning was
weak and inactive except in few special
,iae The first few minutes of the day
showed some good buying for commission
houses but before the first hour was over
the decline had begun. The prices reach
ed during the morning hours were the
lowest for several days in many stocks
and in some the lowest for weeks. All
this bears out the impression in many
quarters that there will be a traders mar
ket for some time to come. On the ether
hand. il seems probable that prices will
not go much lower, if any in the general
list. Careful spectators are taking on
lines of several of the standard stocks.

The stocks showing most weakness
were the Pacifics, which are undoubtedly
unfavorably affected by the talk OF a
transcontincntal rate war. Atchison pre-
ferred went TO below 60 in the forenoon.
This, however. should be near the bottom
price. The stock is as valuable nov as 1t
was a month ago and will soon recover
any loss in the boom that must come next
month. Southern Pacific was very weak
also as were Northern Pacific preferred
and common and Union Pacific preferred
and common. The common Union Faci-
fic went to "a in the early trading. 1t was
well bought at that price.
The talk of the Vanderbilt transconti-
mental line is revived in the Street, and
will probably be used by the professionals
when they are ready 10 move up the
Union Pacific stocks. 1t is hinted that the
deal for the consolidation of the various
lines heretofore mentioned has not been
of at any time, despite the deniais that
have appeared.
Missouri Pacific was fairly strong in the
morning trading, though perhaps not as
well bought as had been hoped in view
Of the generally expected good statement.
The figures, when they were given out,
fully warranted the bullish talk of the
stock. The earnings of the road for the
fiscal year show: Gross increase s., ,939 81 !;
net increase, $500, ,9l4; other income in
crease $23e, ,01S; surplus increase, S6S4,T7S.
This increase in the surplus is equal to
1-2 per cent on the stock as against l
per cent in 1897 and as against deficit for
many recent years. This stock will con-
tinue to benefit from the Alton deal. al
though the results of the deal have been
somewhat discounted already. 1t is un-
derstood that the arrangements for the
payment of the 600 involved in the
deal will be made today.

RABBI STERN'S OPINION.
The Dreyfus Verdict and the Paris
ExDOsitiOn.

The Dreyfus verdict is the uppermost
topic OF discussion in Hebrew circles of the
city, and the course which Dreyfus fellow
religionsts should pursue toward the COM
ing Paris exposition is eagerly talked about
at every gathering While the trial and
the courts decision will undoubtedly be
commented upon from the pulpit during
the approaching Jewish festivals. it is not
thought that there Will be any public meet
ings in this city.
Rabbi Stern, one of the leading rabbis
of the city, echoed the sentiment of many
of his followers in an interview with
Star reporter today upon this subject.
II do not think it will be necessary for
a concerted movement against the Paris
exposition" said Rabbi Stern. The sue
cess of the exposition is already highly
questionable. l would leave to individ-
ual sentiment all questions relating to the
exposition.
Every man should judge for himself
whether he can take the risk commercially
of sending his wares to Paris. under con-
dtions which prevail in France. AS to
visiting the exposition, every one must
consult his own sentiment. Events will
show, however, that a concerted movement
was not necessary
