ACCORDING to the census returns
the population OF Lincoln, Neb. I,
has declined from s5,I54 in 1890
to 40, I6o in 1900. That town af-
fords striking example OF the ef-
fects OF the anti-expansion policy
SO earnestly advocated by its lead
ing citizen and largest tax payer
William jennings Bryan. The pres
idental candidate has nevertheless
gathered unto himself some OF the
fruits of prosperity while his home
town has run down at the heel.

County commissioners.

The county commissioners as
sembled in regular monthly session
Monday. The first two days were
spent in regular routine work and
not much new business had been
transacted up to the hour OF going
to press. The tax levy for county
purposes will be fixed at the pres
ent session. The total tax rate for
the year 1900 will probably be over
eight per cent, several mills greater
than last year. The levies for the
the town OF La Junta and school
district No. IL will be the same as
last year, the former being as mills
and the latter 20 mills.

GOLD EXPORTS TO-DAY.

At the moment gold shipments are the cheapest
form OF remittance, and II is probable that at least
g 100000 in gold bars will be sent to Paris to-nor-
row by La Gascogne, of the French Line. or this
amount Lazard Freres will export S00o,OO, and the
National City Bank and Hedelbach. Ickelheimer &
Co. expect to ship about 100000 each. 1t is thought
that aggregate exports for the week will reach at
least s3.500000. Paris continues to draw money
from all parts Of the world. owing in great part TO
the enormous requirements of visiting foreigners
in that city. The low rate for sterling IN Paris
makes francs IN this market high. Paris exchange
is at the gold importing point and shipments from
London to that centre being made Local
money market conditions unchanged, save that
the tone of the market is called shade frmer
Little business is doing and currency continues to
arrive from the interior in excess of shipments.

BALTIMORE AND OHIO EARNINGS

The Baltimore and Ohio reports for Nav an in
crease in gross earnings of S7O204T an Increase
in net earnings Of 1912. making total gain in
net earnings from July of $524.052 This splendid
showing has been accomplished by keeping down
operating expenses at a time when gross earnings
have been enormous. But 1t should not be inferred
that net earnings have been made the expense of
the property. The company expended heavy
amounts the road in the period of reorganiza-
ton, and as a consequence the property is now in
condition OF physical excellence that permits the
greater part of the gain in earnings to show
in net results. Expenditures have been heavier
than last year, but the proportion of increase has
been lighter than in 1899. while the gain in actual
receipts have been remarkably heavy. The company
could pay per cent the common stock this year,
but it is not likely that such high will be
tablished the directors are conservative. and
they are. moreover. controlled by the Pennsyl-
vana policy, which does not countenance the dis
tribution of dividends that cannot be maintained

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS

After early weakness the stock market de-
veloped stronger tone. and in the greater
number of issues small net gains were shown. as
compared with Mondays final figures It was
wholly a traders rally The market showed
evidence Of an oversold condition after the
opening, but advances made were not important
while the Improvement was not accompanied by
good commission house buying Optimistic
statements of railroad managers, backed by
splendid showing of earnings for the first week
in June. appeared. however. to receive some
attention in speculative circles In fact, they
more in evidence market factors than
were the Government crop reports for the month
and week, although the last named were active
influences in the grain market. which was
strong and higher. In the early dealings weak
ness was shown by the steel stocks and most
of the industrials were lower, while. a rule.
the railway issues were heavy. Under the lead
of Sugar Refining, afternoon prices reflected the
effect Of active covering of shorts
a prudent regard for the uncertainties Of the
future is reflected in the present attitude Of the
public toward the securities market But it
should not be assumed that prudence involves
fear on the part of investors or a disposition TO
convert dividend paying stocks and bonds into
idle cash Capital is moving slowly and with
caution For the moment new deals are not
being negotiated, business IS not being doomed
and holdings Of securities are not being largely
increased Business working to i'm
prove the health Of the situation by moderation
IN all their undertakings. and by not seeking to
check a natural reaction which is effecting a
safe readjustment Of the productive activities
of the country. There is nothing IN the general
situation that need disturb investment holdings,
while on the other hand, the factors now con-
trolling speculation Of sufficient Importance
to check ordinary speculative ventures on the
long side of stocks OF course the people VINO
can afford TO buy stocks outright or carry we'll
margined accounts find current prices attractive,
and as this element is not concerned with pass

fed In accommodating line Of good securities TO

another bull movement some day. Stocks DO

a total gain since July 1 of 81 1884 Total net
