\ careful examination of the official
report fails to reveal any other phil

the contrary, glance at table in the
report shows that during the period
from September }0 1883, to same date,
1888 the awful slaughter of railways
amounted to 7S,4l2 killed and 4l5,I0I in

BAEK RESERVES ARE LOW dull MEEK N Stocks
ALMOST NO BUSINESS TRANS.A CITED
ON THE LONDON STOCK
EXCHANGE
ATTRIBUTED TO ASCOT RACES
Failure of the Hummer Electrical
Company Likely to BE Attend
ed by Disastrous
Results

LONDON, June 23.-In spite of easy
money and a cheerful American outlook
there has been another dull week. on
the London Stock Exchange. This
weeks stagnation was nominaily attrib-
uted to the Ascot races, as previous
stagnation had been attributed to the
Derby and the Oaks. 1t is true that
many influential persons are about bent
on holiday making at the race course,
! but the dulness on the stock exchange
is the cause rather than the effect Of
their absence.
During the past week business has been
almost nil, consequently the market is
very sensitive to selling. which is the
form taken by most of the transactions
nowadays. Dependency has become to
be regarded as the normal tone of the
market Consuls went down from $s to
ZIG this week, and the expected issue
of local loans has been delayed on ac-
count of the unfavorable outlook Home
rails are tobogganing gently it is true,
but steadily, the fall averaging IL all
around.
There is increased activity in Ameri-
cans, and the Union Pacific Milwaukee
deal which, during the first of the week,
was industriously denied, has been the
center of interest. This deal led to
slight fall, which enabled the New York
arbitrage houses cleverly to whipsaw
London on the weekend use of six
points.
Attention which was not altogether
mournful has also been directed to the
difficulties threatening the eight German
engineering, railway and electrical com
panies, through the failure last week of
the Hummer Electric company. 1t is not
believed that a disaster involving all
these eight German enterprises cannot pe
averted, but the occurrence is point ed
to as an indication that the German
manufacturers have been over-stimulat-
ed under the intoxication of that race
for commercial supremacy in which the
German empire did not have the sound
basis and natural resources which made
the United States so formidable a com
petitor to the United Kingdom Critics
advert to the governmental pap" and
the ''spoon-fed shipping tone, and in
innate that any German commercial diff
cuIties are rather acceptable to British
industrial cOmplacency which has recent
~ been severely tried by the successes
OF competing foreigners.
The increase of the capital of Vickers
Sons &, Maxim by G1,G00,00O in ordinary
shares has been a subject of considerable
speculation, as Well as rather adverse
comment.
