The gas stocks were doomed up hand
somely. especially Consolidated which got
as high as 2l1, and closed near the top.
One of the stories regarding this stock
was that an extra dividend is to be de-
ciared, probably at least 10 per cent.
Nothing new was heard regarding the
Chicago Gas Company, and II is supposed
that this stock was moved up in sympathy
with Consolidated. But the earnings Of
the company are fine and it is not be-
heVed that the Illinois Legislature will
cause any trouble before its adjournment

There is n trifie better tone in the steel
stocks. more business IL not much ad-
vance in prices. This may be ascribed
TO the fact that the new steel securities
are to be listed in the near future. The
trading on the curb in these issues yes
terday was at IS to 50 in the common and
" to 81 in the preferred. Sentiment is
still bullish regarding both the old and
the new stocks.

The New York market was irregular
yesterday. American stocks were of in
London. and, in sympathy with the Lon
don declines, apparently, there was early
weakness in he New York market also.
II was said that disappointment over the
less cheerful news from South Africa was
the cause Of the selling IN London. There
was really no news Of discouraging
character in this country that should
have caused the opening declines. How
ever, when an advance began in the sec
und hour OF the day under the leadership
Of Burlington and other granger stocks.
the ublic was more ready to appreciate
this. BE the news never so good, the pub
lie does not pay any attention TO II If
prices are going of The advance was a
good one all over the railway list, but it
did not hold very well. The close was for
the most part trihe above the close
Of the previous day. but not nearly so
high as the best level. The outlook is
good. though a temporary reaction is
possible.
The bank statement today is n matter of
much mystery. The predictions regarding
its figures are not made with nearly the
sane confidence that is shown some
weeks. The reason for this apparently
IS not lack Of the usual data. but "A re
membrance Of the fact that the usual
data was very unreliable last week. All
the indications point to the conclusion
that there will be a very heavy loss of
cash by the banks and consequent de
crease in reserves. But this WAS the out
q
there was considerable increase in cash
and a small increase IN reserve. What
ever the statement may show. Il is rot
expected to have much effect on the stock
market in the same way any slight in
crease in call money rates viii do no
harm. for the reason that IL Will be only
temporary and appreciated as such. The
one item Of definite official news affecting
the market was the announcement Of the
Southern dividend rate The preferred Is
90 receive "a semi-annual disbursement Of
2 per cent the directors having 50 de
cidcd at their meeting yesterday. The am
nouncement was no surprise. although
some people had hoped. rather against
reason, that the rate would be u per
cent. Both the common ana the preferred
securities went on a trii1c In price after
the announcement Of the action of the
directors and this should he attributed
10 the disappointment Of these people and
10 short selling to take advantage Of this
disappointment. The new dividend rate
IS IN reality an excellent bull argument
on the stocks. II cannot be considered
otherwise when II is remembered in how
short a time the company has forged
ahead from a condition of bankruptcy to
that of a prosperous dividend paying
property. and when 1t is taken into con
sideration that 3 per cent could have been
paid without trouble out Of the earnings
II the directors had seen fit. The system
Is at the present time earning per cent
perhaps per cent on the common stock.
In time, and not very far in the future
either, II experts are right, these earnings
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1901-03-09

VIII DC muCh larger Than they are now.
And, moreover, there are other reasons
for bullishness regarding these securities
that may be announced ut any time.
Burlington doomed up to $50 yesterday
before noon, an advance of two points
from the opening price. Tine buying seem
ed to be Of an excellent character, large
blocks changing hands. St Peul ard the
other grangers also made good advances
There was a decline in the entire group
before The close. but not sufficient to wipe
out all the gains. The crop scare of
Wednesday does not seem to have had as
much effect as its fathers undoubtedly
hoped for. The crop scare IS an excellent
weapon at times, but The season is a
triile early as vet.

q The anarchists a year ago passed
resolutions declaring that the war
which they had made upon capital and
power had not met success. So they
organized themselves into a rifle club
and bought the wooden dummies.
Because of their fear of the police, the
anarchists refuse to admit that the
dummies represent anyone. They say
they are anonymous dummies, but it
Is understood that they stand for the
czar of Russia, the German emperor
and other agents of power. ~

Y San Francisco, June l5.-In speak
ing OF the recent troubles ii China and
the causes that brought about the
Boxer uprising, Sir Claude MacDon-
aid, British minister to Japan, but for-8
merly minister to China during the 4
siege Of Picking, said:
II have been away from China since
last October and do not know just
what amount has been decided upon,
but whatever the sum may be 1T is
quite impossible to say If China can
meet the demand. Whether she be
called upon to pay $150, 100000 Or
twice that amount, it is equally prob
lematical if she can pay. China pub
lished no financial budget and one

computing what the government real
ICES by taxation and import duties. s.
Sir Claude Macdonald is of the
opinion that there were many causes
for the Boxer uprising.
"It was not due alone to anti-mis-
mionary feeling" he said, "and the
causes were far reaching. The ac-
QUESTION Of territory by the powers
was one of the chief causes. It in-5
famed the minds of the officials in
China and as they do and feel, the
masses of the people follow. The peo-
PIE of China are a peaceful and indus,

New Jersey Court Refuses to Grant

Purchase. -.
Absorption of the New Companies by
the Trust Cannot be, Prevented
~ by that Court,

Newark, N. j., June 15.-Vice Chan
eellor Stewart has. brought the suit of
Calvin o. Geer and the c.; H. Venner
company against the Amalgamated
Copper company to a sudden ending
by denying the. application of the
complainants for an injunction to re-
strain the absorption Of the Butte and
Boston and Boston and Montana
companies by the Amalgamated COM
pany. Isaac S. Taylor, counsel for the
complainants, gave notice that he
would appeal and the vice chancellor
therefore granted a temporary stay
until Tuesday next. Meanwhile the
interested parties in the suit must file
a bond for s21 900 each to meet any
possible damages. >.- It'll T. :.
>s When the case was called consider
able time was spent by both sides in
presenting schedules showing the
quoted prices of the stocks of the
three companies between April 13 and
June IL. This finished Mr.. G. Albert
Lamb Of counsel for compliments
tried hard to get in a certified copy of
the report of the Butte and Boston
company, showing the assets and liza
bilities Of that company at the close
of the fiscal year, but R.. v. Lindabury,
for the defense, objected, claiming it
was too late. He was sustained. The
report that he wanted to get in was
signed by Henry G. Rogers as presi-
dent and William g.. Rockefeller as
secretary. They are two of the direc.
tors who have since resigned.
AT this point the vice chancellor an
nounced that he proposed to shorten
the discussion by eliminating argu.
ment on all phases that had already
been passed On by Vice Chancellor Pit
ney, He added that the lone question
is whether. the transaction of the
Ama1gamated company Is illegal be-
cause of the fact that some directors
OF that company owned stock in the
companies to be absorbed and whether
the price 1t is proposed to pay for the
stock in said companies is excessive
Mining stocks fuctuated SO much, he
said, and are dependent on so many
varying conditions that you cannot
say what is an absolute indication OF
its value, therefore he would refuse to
permit argument as to the relative val.
ues Of the stock. The corporation, he
said, gives the company the right to
purchase or acquire stocks of other
companies, but not at excessive prices
He then ordered counsel to confine
themselves strictly to the one ques-
tion-is the price to be paid exces-
sive? -"
After an hours argument he sud
denly interrupted counsel by declar-
ing there was no use Of wasting time.
He then denied the application.
