STEADY TONE RETAINED
Promise of Activity in Stocks, How
ever, Not Borne Out.
A Marked Falling or I'm the Volume

Railway List Firm = Anthracite
Coal Shares Not Materially Affected
by the Threatened Labor Troubles.

NEW YORK, Aug. 30-The stock mar
ket opened strong this morning, and IL re-
tanned steady tone throughout the day.
The early promise of activity, however
was not borne out, and with the course of
the business session there was a marked
falling of in the volume of business There
was little novel and definite to which the
markets tendency could be referred. In
the main it appeared TO be the case that
the approach of the protracted suspension
of business induced covering OF short con-
tracts. and buying plainly of this char
acter, was conducted throughout the day
There was little increase in the business
of commission houses, the clients of which
are apparently waiting for the result OF
the Vermont election of September be
fore assuming a positive position in the
market. 1t seems to be the general opl1-
ion that that election may furnish the
first clear and definite indication of the
trend of the political sentiment in the
Eastern States. TIE days Developments
included a further advance in sterling ex-
change. the July traffic returns OF num-
Der Of important railroads, and a still I'M
ruffled money market Discount in London
was, however, decidedly frmer but no
change was made in the Bank of England's
minimum rate of discount
The bank reported a noteworthy in
crease in its proportion of reserve to liza
bility. The London stock market was gen.
orally steady, and slight advances were
shown in the American quarter. Foreign
houses were again buyers in this market
on balance. although their transactions
were on the same limited scale upon which
they have been conducted during the past

looked for early arrival and the fine earn
ings showing of the Steel and Wire Com
pany have had the effect of stimulating
buying Of the securities of this company
and Of the other steel and iron stocks as
we'll. II is understood that the insiders
have been buying the stocks quietly for
two weeks or more in expectation of just
such a movement. In fact, they are now
probably largely instrumental in engin-
eering the little boom. The upward move
ment is thought to be likely TO extend
somewhat further at this time. Careful
people are also strong believers in the
group for a more important boom at a
later date. Yesterday there was a con-
tinuance of the advance to the best recent
hsures. Steel and Wire common reached
IS Ia. In the last half hour of the day
there was quick decline in the group.
The net earnings of the Southern Rail-
way for July show a decrease of SIG, 1923.
The figures were a disappointment not
so much in themselves as because they
broke weeks record of excellent earn
ings statements. Late in the afternoon
the July statement of the Burlington was
published. 1t also was somewhat disap-
pointing. An increase of about $5S, 900 in
gross earnings was shown, but a decrease
in net Of about s5l coo.
Tne srangers were dull but fairly
strong all day, despite the Burlington
statement. The street is in a more hopeful
frame OF mind regarding these securities.
II Is rather inclined to look at the st.
Paul and Atchison figures than those OF
the Burlington. The wheat and corn crops
are not totally destroyed, and even il
they were it is probable that all of these
companies would keep out of bankruptcy
for a long time. A statement made by an
officer of the Atchison yesterday was
quoted by spectators with some interest.
According to his figures the grain traffic
of the Atchison is less than 16 per cent
Ct its entire business, and its corn traffio
only about per cent. Atchison got as
high as Il yesterday and declined little
from that level.
Union Pacific common was fairly strone. |
There is much bearish gossip regarding !
this stock in the street recently, apparent |
ly for the reason that it has had it's de- |
cline. and is now ready TO advance again |
Apropos OF some of this talk the statement |
Of an officer OF the company may De quoted, |
that ii has expended mere money in bet
terments recently than any other system |
in the West. This gentleman states fur
her that the benefit of these large ex.
1endituIes will now be felt steadily in
essened operating expenses.

MINOR BROUGHT BACK.
Two Charges of Forgery Hooked
Against Him.

Detective Parham returned from lamp
ton. Va. yesterday bringing with him E.
S. Minor, alias E. s. Morris, who is want
ed here on the charge of forgery Minor
is locked up at the Sixth precinct station.
He will be arraigned in the Police Court
today.
The facts that led to Minors arrest are
these: despatch from Newport News,
Va. was printed in the local papers the
other day stating that man giving the
name of E. S. Morris had been arrested
at Hampton on the charge of beating
board bills at the Chamberlin and the
Buckrae Beach Hotels. The amount in
VOWED was said to be several hundred dol
lars. When Detective Parham read the
despatch he expressed the opinion TO In
spector Boardman that the man arrested
at Hampton was the same man wanted
here for forgery. A description was wired
the Hampton police, who responded that
it tailed with Morris.
Detective Parham left on Monday for
Hampton. The Virginia authorities did
not want to turn Minor. alias Morris, over
TO him. nor did Minor want them to- How
ever. when Detective Parham Informed the
local judge that the alleged forgery had
been reported 10 the police by Mrs. NJ. A
Daley, or ~ street northwest, last
March, the court held that it was prior
claim and issued the necessary papers
turning Minor over to the detective.
Another alleged forgery of Minors came
to light yesterday morning. A man giving
the name of E. E. Yates appeared at Po-
lice Headquarters and handed Detective
Parham check for $25. dated November
49, 1899, drawn on a local security COM
pany and purporting to be signed by Moses
Walton, jr. The check was endorsed by
Minor.

There was a rather strong opening in the
stock market yesterday, with prices all
over the list up fractionally London was
irregular. but with the majority OF the
small movements upward. and the effect OF
this was good in Wall Street Within the
first half hour Of the day the little pre-
liminary animation had died out and the
market was as quiet and featHTeless as at
any time heretofore. The nearness Of the
holiday disposed the professionals to
limit their operations 10 the evening up Of
contracts already entered into; and the
professionals are almost the only people
doing anything at the present time in
stocks. 1t is entirely unlikely that thsre

ever, there is little prospect of any ha -6en-
ing OF the money market in the near fu-
ture, and the reminders Of this in the bank
statements viii not do the market any
harm.
There are millions of dollars of surplus
money waiting TO be Invested in stocks

market critics therefore are advising the

election fears OF the important people are

the demand for refined has been increased
by the fears OF small sugar famine and
higher prices. AS far as can be learned
the Sugar Trust is rather better supplied
with raw sugar than the balance of the

Between Roberts Troops and Beers DC
Cured June 26 and 81.

London, June 90, 2:30 a. m.-Lord
Roberts has sent bulletins of two small
fights, occurring June &c and 81, in
which the Beers were discounted. In
the dispatch from Pretoria, dated yes
terday, he says:
"a small force Of mounted troops,
with two guns, commanded by Lieuten-
ant Colonel Dreiper, was attacked by
the enemy under Prefers and Mel, on
the morning of June &c, seven miles
north of Senekal. They beat off the
enemy and burned their lager. Our
casualties were three wounded and 10
killed.
THE enemy attacked our Roodval
spruit post yesterday, but we're easily
beaten off by a detachment Of the Der
byshire light infantry, West Austria
liam mounteds, with a 15-pOunder and
an armored train"
