The evening times., 1899-08-02

The market this morning was much
what sId been expected by the majority
of traders, with an opening on somewhat
from the close in many instances and a
tendency at first TO decline. which later
gave place TO good strength before the first
two hours had passed. The outlook Tor the
day was encouraging 10 the bulls, and II
was not believed that there would be
much, il any. further decline. Such a trif-
ling success OF the reactionists after the
good advances of the week shows very
clearly the great strength OF the market
at this level. The yellow fever scare has
had little effect. The uneasiness over the
money situation has not prevented prices
from advancing The Brooklyn Rapid
Transit troubles that at one time promise
to be serious could not hurt the market.
These are other evidences OF the tenaeity
with which stocks are held, and o. the
inability of the bears TO make any impress
sion with their best efforts. Opinion IS
gravitating toward belief in an improved
market in the near future. II is thought
that the level of prices will tend Upward
steadily from this level with only mino'
setbackS.
The Atchison statement for the fiscal
year issued yesterday is all that has been
promised for it and little more. Gross
earrng gs have increased nearly a million
and half dollars and operating expenses
have actually decreased nearly a million
dollars for the same period. The net in
come has increased for the year 50, PAS, sos
the total net being S11, ,237 ,607. or enough to
pay the interest charges and leave almost
IA per cent for the preferred stock. At
Gibson and the other grangers were strong
this morning but made no new advances
in price beyond the level of yesterday
The Norfolk and Western statement for
the month of June and for the year is a
most encouraging one and it fully accounts
for the strength of the preferred stock
which continued above ~ this morning and
seemed inclined to go higher despite the
yellow fever scare. Fuller figures will be
given at another time, but it may be stated
here that the net earnings for the year
were So, ,SSS, OBS, an increase of $53S ,035, and
that after paying interest charges there
was balance for dividends equal to a
trifle more than per cent on the preferred
stock. The dividend on the preferred is
limited to 4 per cent which leaves about
l 1-2 per cent for the common stock for
the year. .t -
Union Pacific common and preferred
were both very strong this morning on
account of the fine statement of earnings
for the month of June and for the year.
The common stock remained above 45
steadily. This Jstock is much liked by
conservative people Northern Pacific
common was also strong owing to excel
lent clique work and to the general knowl-
edge that the system has earned more than
per cent on the stock after paying per
cent on the preferred.

Big Money for the State.

TRENTON, May 31.-When Corpora
ton Clerk Brooke, of the Secretary of
States office, closed his books tonight,
they showed that during the month 205
companies were incorporated under the
laws of New Jersey, and that the State
received in filing fees from the same the
sum of S92, ,0SS.25. This is slight fall
ing off from the last two months, when
the receipts were.something over one hun
dred thousand dollars each month. The
State has received in filing fees from cor
porations for the eight months of the pres
ent fiscal year the large amount of $685.
1924. This is entirely Independent of
the money that will be received from the
companies in annual franchies taxes.
The growth of the business of ofincorporat-
ing companies in New Jersey is shown
by the fact that the filing fees for the
whole of the last fiscal year aggregated
S94, ,ll0.So, or scarcely more than was
received for the month which expires
to-day.
Instead of the usual balance of about a
million dollars, the State will have sur
plus of at least two million dollars at the
end of the fiscal year.

Greeily Benefited in Health and Enjoying
His Trip.
Mr.. Henry Rumrille, private secretary

"A which contained the gratifying infor
nation that Senator Sewell had been
greatly benefited by his ocean voyage
and was then enjoying the best of health.
General Sewell also stated that the
members of his family aceompanyia
him were all we'll and enjoying their
tour immensely.
Senator Sewell after leaving Antwerp
went direct to Carlsbad, the famou.
German health resort, where he will seek
rest, recreation and recuperation previous
to returning to the United States in the
fall to again resume his business and
political duties that keep him one of the

Sewell on former trip to Europe found
the baths at Carlsbad of great benefit to
his health, and it is to be hoped that they
will again restore him to his former
vigorous physical condition.
