STOCKS ARE APATHETIC
Hardening Of Values in Railways, but In.
duStrias Mistrusted.
NO TAPE FROM TICKER MINuTESAT A TINE
the Uncertainty which Prevails
in Regard to the Dividend.

New York. June e-Business was on far too
small a scale on the stock exchange today to
warrant any very well defined conclusion as
to the general speculation or to say that 1t
was a just reflection of business or financial
conditions. But there was a notable harden
Ing of values In railway securities which was
followed up the day progressed by a rise
in prices which embraced pretty much every
railroad stock dealt in The strength started
IN Louisville. which was very confidently
bought for London account. The bidding up
OF the price in this stock in the course of
the executing OF buying orders impaired
strength to the whole group. Southern Rail-
way preferred and Norfolk and Western pre-
feFred being the first to respond, and the
Changers, Paciics. Southwestern and evou
some of the trunk lines followed this lead
The trading for the most part was profoundly
apathetic and there were minutes at a time
when no tape came from the tickers The
attention OF the professional traders was all
vthtered on sugar and the utterly errauc
movements OF this stock disclosed the entire
Uncertainty regarding them as dividend to
action. Advocates OF the regular dividend
ana advocates OF reduction seemed equally
tonhdent and equally numerous so that the
stock dipped deeply below last nights level
ana robounded FAR above It. The extreme
IdhEe was IA points and the close was at
!'t sdln ol ia ana WITHIN 0 half OF the top
An incident OF the trading today were some
large wagers on one hand that tomorrow $
sugar dividend declaration would be- AT the
regular rate and offers on the other hand to
sen the dividend on large amounts Of stocks
tor less than the regular rate The same
somewhat distrusttul attitude Is maintained
towards the iron and steel stocks. notwth-
standing semi official ntimation as to the
rate OF the coming dividend and declarations
and informal assurances that the current
earnings are far In excess OF the proposed
disbursement. Even the preferred stocks Of

prices OF ordinary dividend paying railroad
stocks. which make the same returns on the
money invested This distrust Of industrtlls

cATERP111ARs IN RICE.

Jefferson county rice farmers are JUS
at present having anything but a pleasant
experience The protracted drouth has
been more or less damaging but the loss
has been minimized by flooding sufficiently
to sprout the seed. This applies TO tie
farms equipped with pumping plants and
an abundant supply of fresh water. but ths
Providence farmer, to use a slang express
sion, is burnt out There is. however.
another danger now threatening The dry,
hot weather seems to have had salutary
effect on caterpillars aud this insect lie
swarmng into the rice fields Where the
rice is not too high the insect is destroy j
by flooding, but on some OF the farms the
plant is higher than the levees and the
bug avoids drowning by climbing out OF
reach Of the water Mr. Viterbo reports
that the caterpillars have destroyed con-
siderable Of his rice ans continue to NOV
II down like a machine The caterpillar
has also appeared in other fields. but the
farmers are waging vigorous warfare
with water and say a heavy rain within
the next few days would prevent consider
