the decline in the stock will extend much
if any further unless the general market is

ton, although it is said that the engineers
now employed on the trains will not be

The Pacific securities which last week
at times seemed destined TO be among the
leaders of the market, were inordinately
dull yesterday. The extreme range OF
Northern Pacific common was between 30
and 30 IA and the preferred fucuated
between II and II IA. The Union Pa
cifics were equally inactive, the COM
mon getting as low as 42 1-2, and
as high as 43 only. Missouri Pa
cific, which for three or four days has
been receding from its highest price, went
as low as AZ Ia, and closed at a 3-S. The
gossip of the street is bullish regarding
all these securities. and the advice given
by conservative people at the close yester-
day was that they were all likely to go
higher before much decline is made. Union
Pacific common is picked out by some as
the stock that will be likely to lead the
next advance in this group.

Federal Steel common was strong yes
terday afternoon, apparently in antici-
patton that the decision of the court on
the plea for the dissolution of the injunc-

Opinions differ as TO the likelihood of this,
but it seems most probable that the court
will decide that the dividend on the COM
mon stock cannot be paid under the New
Jersey law until the end of the company's
year. Such a decision, however, should
not affect the stock adversely except per-
haps momentarily. The company has al
ready expressed its intention in unmistaka-
bic terms to set aside the dividend if the
court considers it Illegal to pay it at this
time.

its and it would not surprise the street TO

The gross earnings OF the St. Paul sys-
tenn for the second week OF July were
s7S2 ,2l0, an increase of 1921, ,523 over last
year, or 42 per cent. The earnings are the
largest in the history of the line for this
period. President Miller, of the company,
made the statement yesterday that this i'm
mense business is varied and fully as much
from east to west as from west to east,
which is, of course, the ideal condition Of
business. The passenger traffic and the
general merchandise business of the sys-
TEN is increased fully as much as the grain
tonnage. This showing is the best indi-
cation possible that the prosperity Of the
line will continue during the coming
months The company has just given an
order for 1000 freight cars. 1t is not, per-
haps, yet decided finally to increase the
dividend of st. Paul at the next meeting
of the directors, but the general belief is
that this will be done. The grangers were
strong enough yesterday, but dull at all
times. Their net changes in prices were
