Capital Traction Company. A permanent
officer of the latter company yesterday

railways in the District will be under one

pointed out that although the Washing

the Capital Traction charter does provide
for the purchase of any railways in the

NEW YORK, June 15.-In the actual
sense Of the term there was little or no
market on the stock exchange today. The
dealings were almost wholly for profess
sional account and were of the most lin
tied proportions. Trading was listless at
the opening of business and it continued
without animation throughout the day.
London was not factor of any impor-
lance here in respect to the quotations
furnished from that quarter or the sub
sequent dealings here for foreign account.
The only movements of any Importance
were in the various stocks classed under
the head of the steel industrials. These
all broke sharply from their opening
prices, notably in the instances Of Ten
nessee Coal and Iron and Federal Steel,
but aside from the now familiar reports
OF further cuts in prices there was moth
Ing definite to account for their tendency.
Sugar Refining, on the other hand, which
continued the leader of the market in re-
spect of activity, was firm.
The local traction stocks were virtually
neglected, and a number of other usually
active stocks we're not dealt In at all with
the course Of the day. The railway list
was fairly steady, with relatively active
dealings in Atchison preferred, st. Paul,
and Burlington and Quincy. The price
changes. however, in all Of these stocks
were Insignificant. New York Central was
again particularly firm, the buying being
apparently based on the belief in an early
increase in Lake Shore dividend.
Many conditions were unaltered, and
foreign exchange was lower. The stagna-
ton in the London stock market was re-
ported owing to the uncertainty as to the
issue of the Chinese situation, but neither
that circumstance nor the near approach
of the Republican Convention figured ma
terially in the local market. Sos 10

A GAS ZEAL PENDING.
New York Capitalists May Buy the
Baltimore Consolidated.

BALTIMORE, June 15.AThere is quite a
stir in financial circles over the movement
Of local and New York capital to buy out
the Consolidated Gas Company, of this city.
The Baltimoreans behind the movement
include Alexander Brown. Harry A Parr,
and George r. Webb, and associated with
them are some of the most influential finan-
cial interests in the East, including, 1t Is
said. the Wall Street banking house of
Vermilye G. Co. Mr.. Webb is in New York
comforting with interests there relative to
the purchase of the gas company.
1t is understood that the syndicate which
contemplates acquiring the property has
already been formed, and that a prelimi-
nary offer has been made. The PROPOSE
tion is TO form new company. which
would issue it's stock in exchange for that
Of the Consolidated Gas Company, and
would guarantee a dividend of l-2 per
cent a year upon the new stock. The new
company will 1t is said. put up forfeit
of s700,Gto. which would be paid over to
the stockholders in the event the new
company failed to carry out its part Of

Provisions averaged higher and closed

further selling by the large holders OF July

both for investment and to cover shorts, in
fluenced partly by the strength in grain
and on the theory that the sharp declines
of the past week make reaction due.

Edward F. Cooper. through his attorney,
T. L. Jeffords, yesterday filed suit against
the City and Suburban Railway Company
to recover $4,000, claimed as damages for

and that one Of the cars of the defendant
collided with the wagon and, as result,
the bones Of his right leg were fractured,
his right arm dislocated, and he was other
wise permanently injured.

the accident. he was put to the expense
Of $500 for medical attention.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO June 15.-The opening decline

bles. Local pit traders sold rather freely

II any day could have been duller in the
stock market than Thursday it would have
been yesterday. Up to noon 1t was the
dullest day since 1885, Business was
almost at standstill for the greater part
of the session, and the few sales made
were simply the evening up of profess
sional contracts as far as could be dis
covered. The shadow of the impending
decision of the Northern Pacific directors
hung over the market all day and perhaps
prevented the little advance in prices that
had been rather expected owing to the
nearness of the Republican Convention.
London did nothing to be considered and
the early market on this side took its
cue from London. Later, prices held
fairly we'll until the last hour, when it
began to be suggested in usually well
informed quarters that the Northern Pa
cific dividend would not be made 2 per
cent, and that even there would not be
an extra dividend. This caused some
small selling of Northern Pacific, and 1t
declined. carrying the remainder OF the
market with it fractionally. The outlook
Is entirely uncertain. One party seems to
believe that there will be an advance be-
fore the nomination of Mr.. Mckinley to
succeed himself while the other says that
there are no buyers to create the advance.
Probably in any event the market viii
not be very broad in the immediate fu-
ture. The bank statement today will
show a further loss of reserves, 1t is
thought, but this is not matter Of i'm
portance as has been pointed out here
tofore The reduction Of the Bank of
England discount rate precludes any large
export of gold at this time. General news,
what there was of it, was satisfactory.
The Northern Pacific matter was the real
news OF the day marketwise. The meeting
did not take place until o'clock. and the
announcement OF Its decision was not made
officially until the session OF the exchange
had adjourned. There were rumors all
day, however, as was to be expected, and
toward the time OF the meeting these
stories grew more positive that there
would not be a 2 per cent dividend. Tho
most conservative action possible was
taken. A dividend of / per cent was de-
clared and no extra. This will be great
disappointment to many, who have bought
the stock recently In the expectation Of
at least an extra dividend of ! per cent.
1t Is quite likely, however, that there will
be little decline in the stock. Many were
waiting for the per cent declaration as
a good time to sell their stock, and now
there is no good news to sell on. They
will wait awhile. AS to the justice or in
Justice of the conservative action OF the
directors there are two opinions. One Of
these is that with the likelihood OF small
wheat crop n the Northwest 1t is much
better for thS company to hold its surplus.
The stock will receive per cent this year
as II Is, and on the whole this seems very
good for a security in the position OF
Northern Pacific common. There was de-
cline of point from around 81 to Sc dur
ing the last hour yesterday. The opening
this morning may be off another point. II

Sugar sold around III all day. and closed
at III is, with fractional net decline for
the day. The stock is7strong, apd there is
no indication Of pressure to sell. The ad-
vance OF another ten points in the price
of refined sugar on Thursday is consid-
cred most Important matter, as it adds
materially to the profit of the trust during
the busiest time Of the year. Standard
graduated is now selling at $40. Raw
sugar is selling at SIS, or about 4.67 cents
pound, so that the net difference be-
tween raw and refined is now So cents. The
cost of refining is estimated at so cents
per 100 pounds, and on this basis the profit
to the trust on its sugar is 80 cents per
100 pounds. or s1.14 per barrel of 300
pounds.

The trade statistics for May are most
satisfactory, not to say magnificent. They
show the largest exports May ever wit
messed. The total exports for the month
were s113,500,000, an increase of nearly
100000 600. The total imports were ST.
100000, an increase of 81, 400, 900. The ex
cess OF exports over imports were S42 ,o0O,-
600. These figures do not show any alarm
ing dullness in business. They do show
that the foreign markets Of this country
are willing to take very large part of its
surplus products as soon as prices decline
even slightly from the recent high levels.
There are rumors of an increase in the
Lake Shore dividend, but no official con-
firmation of the story can be obtained.
The recent strength in International Pa
per common is attributed in some quarters
to Flower manipulation. Talk Of divi-
dend on the stock Is also said to have
emanated from Flower people. The stock
is considered cheap by many careful peo-
pie, but there is no particular reason to
expect dividend on 1t at present.
The steel securities were weak during
the afternoon, getting down to about the
lowest level yet reached before the close.
Federal Steel common was especially soft
and closed at the lowest figure for the day,
81 3-S. Steel and Wire common was dull
all day, and made no movement worth
mentioning. Tennessee Coal and Iron de-
clined to sc 5-S and closed at 81. Colorado
Fuel and Iron, which seemed fairly strong
early in the day declined in the afternoon
to 81 and fraction. More pessimistic talk
OF lower prices in the trade and dull bust
ness even at the concessions was the cause
of the weakness of the group, though. Of
course, the short sellers were the actual
sellers and not the holders of stock to any
extent. These securities are all good pur-
chase at their present level, according TO
some Of the best informed people in the
trade. and in the stock market. The sit
uation is now at its worst. and il will i'm
! prove. 1t is said that the Colorado Fuel
and Iron people will take action favorable
to the payment of the back dividends on
the preferred stock shortly.
Southern Railway preferred, on the other
hand, showed some strength. An officer Of
the company was quoted as saying that it
does not fear the competition of the Sea-
board Air Line system, and does not look
for any rate cutting.
