EFFECT on THE STOCK.

In a certain speculative circle in Wall Street
where coterie OF traders has met daily for the
last few weeks TO learn the progress OF the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit strike-which In Wall
Street begun long ago-keen disappoint-
ment was felt yesterday over the refusal Of the
stock TO respond to the final development In the
strike campaign. The funny part about this
campaign is that it's promoters have talked so
much about II that every one who owns Brook
lyn Rapid Transit stock has not been disposed
to sell we'll protected holdings merely for the
purpose OF affording bear traders an oppor-
tunity to cover their short contracts at a profit.
While holders OF the stock did not altogether
expect a strike. they were prepared for 1t. be-
cause the promoters Of the campaign kept them
so we'll posted Nearly everybod who held
Brooklyn Rapid Transit stock yesterday morning
on large margins refused to sell. and, a
suit, the bear campaign closed the day with
band Of professional traders still heavily short
OF the stock and the strike prospects rapidly
improving. The earnings OF the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit system have been so heavy. and will
continue to be heavy Just as soon as the strike
is over, that the loss In earnings due TO a tenn
porary partial interference with business should
not have material influence upon the record
for the year Every share OF Brooklyn Rapid
Transit stock offered yesterday found a ready
buyer.

NO TEN HOUR SUITS BEGUN.
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY CONTRADICTs
Mr.. PARsONs's ASSERTION.


District Attorney Steele of Kings County in
tmated yesterday that General Master Work
man Parsons was either reckless with or ig-
norant of the truth when he asserted that there
were hundreds Of untried indictments pending
against the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
for violation of the Ten Hour law. Not one
single complaint Of that kind had been brought
to his Office. Mr.. Steele declared. since he had
taken charge Of it, and only one such indict-
ment, found under the administration Of his
predecessor remained untried. That indict-
ment was found against the Brooklyn Heights
Railway Company, based largely on the evil
dence of President Rossiter, who apparently de-
sired to make a test case on one point-whether
the men should be paid for time consumed at
their meals. The schedule has since been
changed to remedy the evil there complained of.
Mr. Steele was asked If he had been visited by
any Of the strikers or their leaders and asked
TO enforce the Ten Hour law, and he asserted
positively that he had not. but that he was
ready to do his full duty IL any case Of viola
ton of the Ten Hour law were brought to his
attention formally.
