RIOT IN BROAD STREET.
CHECKS FOR OVER $4,000 PICKED UP
AFTER A FREE FIGHT BETWEEN
BOYS, PEDLERS AND
BROKERS.
BROKERS

A free fight among half a dozen merchants,
messenger boys and Italian fruit pedler

thousand men and boys who had quickly formed
| a bowling mob that choked Broad-st. for half
block north and south of Exchange Place In
the riot oranges and bananas were used as
missiles. noses were punched. ribs were kicked
and clothes torn by those struggling in
the street; while mechanics at work on the lofty
Broad-Exchange office building deliberately
showered wet mortar over the fighters far be-

Several messenger boys lost the letters and
checks which they We're carrying. After calm
had been restored checks for than $4,000
which had been picked UP the street were
restored their owners. These included
check for S21 800 drawn by Kssam. Whitney &

carried inside the band of one boys hat. The
hat was torn from his head and the checks
blown far and wide. Bystanders found them
while the boy was looking for his hat. Other
checks were lost by other boys which not
recovered. Payment stopped on them at
the banks when their loss was reported. Brok-
ers complain that too few policemen reg
ular duty in the Wall Street region during the
busy hours. Fights among boys and pedlers
are OF almost daily occurrence, though none
ever assumed such proportions az yesterdays.
The high tension under which the horde of
curbstone brokers who do business in Broad
st. have worked for the last few weeks was
SHOWN by the eager way in which many Of
them sought relief for their by joining
IN the fight with lungs and fists. They took the
boys part against the pedlers. The police ar
rested one boy, Edward Cisch. eighteen years
old, of No. 253 Willoughby-ave., Brooklyn. He

MISSOURI PACIFIC FINANCING.

fed with Southwestern interests said yesterday:
Bv the ACQUISITION of the Denver and Rio Grande

its earning capacity of $4,000 mile it naturally
belongs in the class with St Paul. North,
western and Chicago. Burlington and quincy. and
such highly capitalized reorganized roads as the
Union Pacific and the Northern Pacific whose
bond and stock capitalization is nearly twice as
large Bv adopting It's present method of financing
purchases by stock the Missouri Pacific goes hand
in hand with the Pennsylvania the only two
railroad corporations avaing of the present market
TO make unconditional and unprovisional stock
issues without the precautionary and burdensome
intervention of a collateral trust bond. The acqui-
stion of the Denver and Rio Grande shares greatly
Increases the strength of the Missouri Pacihc

of the new issue will be needed for the Denver

ing increase Of S101 .695 332 over the previous
highest record. S445. .241 ,223, made on April 16
This was not the only particular in which Clear
ing House records were broken, for the Bank Of

with big declines toward the close, which marked
all the more important speculative issues. made
some people think that the top of the market
had really been reached at last, and that the
bull effort, so long sustained. might be forced
relax to-day. Others stoutly declared that the
decline was due only to realizing sales the
part Of a few interests and that the buoyant
tone OF the market would speedily reassert itself
Nevertheless, rurnors of the formation Of new

SECOND DAY Sl0O,O0O,OOO.
AMERICANS SUBSCRIBE FOR FAR MORE
OF THE BRITISH CONSOLS THAN
THEY ARE LIKELY TO GET.

In all probability further subscriptions TO the
new British loan Of f60.O00.Oo0 will not be re-
ceived to-day. The time set for closing sub
scriptions was originally Thursday. but since
the loan has been already largely oversub-
scribed Wall Street bankers were expecting last
night 10 hear at any moment that the oppor-
tunity had been withdrawn. II is estimated
that American subscriptions from all quarters
have exceeded S1O0,Oo0oO0, but the allotment
TO American buyers is not expected to reach
even half that figure
1t is evident now that the entire loan could
have been placed in England without any diff
Guilty at even better rate than 941z per cent
and some Wall Street men yesterday said Amer
lean investors ought to feel more or less graft
tude that the British Government had offered
them a chance pick up any part of so good
bargain.
Following the announcement in The Tribune
yesterday morning that S50Oo0oco had been
subscribed for by one New-York syndicate, sub
scrptions began to pour into the office Of Barring
Magoun e. Co. and of ]. P. Morgan & Co. by
telegraph from banks all over the country. 1t
IS said that from the Equitable Life and the
Mutual Life came subscriptions of S5.O00,00O
each, to be ranged alongside the 50 00000 bid
Of the New-York Life. which had been previ-
ously reported. II said that in the final al
lotment each of these big companies would
probably get at least 80 per cent of the amount
II wants.
Word was received from London that no esti-
mate Of the aggregate subscriptions would be
given out until after the list had been closed;
but IL is felt that the latest subs crihers have a
poor chance of getting any allotment at all.
Speculation as to the exports Of gold which
VIII follow the American allotment is varied.
Some think that the amount will be small as
not to affect the local market seriously but
others point to the fact that much smaller sub
Cnvfrl -f-t,
