Good buying of Union Pacific securities has been
noted in the last two days. The approach Of the
companys semiannual dividend period has at
traCted attention TO the stocks, and commission
houses have bought for inside account The con-
idence that the managers of the Union Pacific
have in the property is reflected in the heavy hold

earning fully per cent on the common after heavy

prove attractive investments and speculations.
Wall Street news bureau printed the following yes
terday Union Pacific:
We learn that the net income of Union Pacific
from all sources for the year ending June 30, ex-
Guiding only land sales, amounts to something in
excess of S20OOO,OOO. DedUctiuE from this fixed
charges for the whole system amounting to 5000
600 apprOXima tey leaves available surplus in eX-
cess of %12 100000 The preferred dividend calls for
about $4,000 900 in round figures so that there IS
left for the common a surplus in excess of Ss'49,-
600 being the equivalent of over S per cent The
company has over $s0oQ0oo cash on hand; over
$S7 900 of securities in its treasury and over
$12000,O00 of unsold lands. Practically all the
Short Line and Navigation stocks have been con-

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

Stock market trading was made up in great
part Of the transactions Of professional opera
tors. The early movement Of prices was irreg-
ular hut considerable strength was shown,
while in only a few issues losses were recorded.
Stocks representing the granger roads were
sold by traders owing to the heavy decrease
in earnings shown by the ST. Paul company in
the first week in July. but on the decline offer
ings were taken by a good class of buyers The
Government crop report caused some selling Of
the Western shares. and also moderate buying
Of the Southwestern shares, the estimate OF this
years wheat yield indicating poor results in the
Northwest and good results in the Southwest.
Stocks Of the corn carrying roads ought to be
favorably affected by the July report of crop
conditions, preliminary figures foreshadow
a bumper corn harvest; in fact. yield not far
below the record yield Of 1896. when 2,2S3, ,S75,-
165 bushels were gathered. Atchison preferred
and Burlington were not affected by the corn
crop report but Rock Island showed decided
strength. with some commission house buying
in the afternoon. Sentiment was favorably i'm
pressed by the good buying in Union Pacific,
and the accompanying strength in that issue
induced covering throughout the list and
newed operations for rise. The railway list
as a whole made important gains. Industrial
stocks were generally firm. but the steel issues
were somewhat heavy.
The decrease of S11021S in the earnings of the
St Paul system for the first week in July
doubtless reflects the beginning of a lighter vol
unle of business on the Western roads. And it
is possible that all roads will begin to
show the effect of trade reaction which has been
in force long enough TO cut into traffic receipts
in all parts Of the country. II should be borne
in mind however, that comparisons made
with a period a year ago, when earnings were
enormous. In the first week of July last year
tie St. Paul company showed an increase over
the corresponding time in 1898 Of S203 800, while
the record for this year is better than that Of
two years ago by 1913 coo, and, with the excep-
tion Of 1899 and 1892 it is the best for the
period in the history Of the company. Trade
reaction this summer may cut down traffic re-
ceipts. but the reduced volume Of business will
be small only in comparison with last years
tremendous earnings. The decreases shown by
various roads in the first week in July come at
a time when the railroads are well able to stand
a smaller income, and 1t should not be assumed
that railroad bankruptcy dividend reductions
not been paying dividends to the limit of earn
ings in the last two years, and it would require
an enormous contraction in business to leave
net earnings after interest charges below cur
rent dividend requirements. Failing earnings,
however, may hurt Wall Street sentiment, and
they certainly will not encourage public opera
tions in stocks So far, however, first week
earnings show that Of twenty-five companies re-
porting only eight return losses.

MISSOURI PACIFIC.

An operator VINO IS We'll lnIOrIneV NIIsSDUII
Pacific affairs was quoted follows yesterday
regarding the company:
I venture to predict that Missouri Pacific will not
pay a dividend for at least three years The prn-
cipaI interests in Missouri Pacific trading in
the stock. Their money is in the bonds, and their
revenue comes from them. They know that the
only way make the bonds stand high is TO devel-
op the road to a point where the surplus earnings
will remove all question in regard 10 the payment
of interest The way to do this is to put earnings
into the road literally and ntellFcntly. in order
to enable the company to operate to the best pos
Sible advantage and to be able to make money in
bad times. The managers of the Missouri Pacific
know that prosperity is not continuous. and that
the time will come when the strength of the road
will be again tested They want the physi. al con-
dtion Of the road to be of the highest and the
equipment of the best. They want to encourage the
development of the local business, and they want
such strength financially and physically will

obtain good share of the money, when it can be
