Special 10 the Register
NEW YORK, June rs. The stock
market received check this week from
unpleasant developments with a local
bank that plainly emphasizes the desir-
ability of caution In speculative opera
tons. It is just such weak spots as
this which may at any time bring on
disagreeable consequences. At the mo-
ment there are two other factors, also,
not altogether favorable to bull cam
paign, in spite of the many other salts
factory conditions. These are the Ger
man financial crisis anc the local mon
ey market. TIE crop and fall trade
demands are only six weeks or 50 dis
tant, and It is evident that unless the
bank reserves are increased no very ex-
tensive speculation in stocks can be car
ried on without mourning a stringent
money market. As soon as July dis
bursements are made some relief will
be afforded, and there is no telling
how far the big holders of securities
may be able and willing to aid the mon
ey market. Large sums are still known
to be locked up in syndicate operations,
and the release OF these amounts would
be favorable to ease in July and Aug
ust. Tie second consideration, the
crisis in Germany, is entitled to more
| weight than it receives. Germany is
suffering in industrials during the last
| two or three years. Imitation was the
order of the day and reaction followed
| inevitably. The German bank failures
show very unsatisfactory condition
of affairs, and it is by no means certain
that the end of these disasters has yet
! been seen.
Although the volume OF transactions
on the Exchange has very largely de
clined from the figures reached at the
most active stage of the boom, yet the
market has lost little of its intrinsic
strength. 1t is now more tempting foI
the bears to take the field. and oc-
casionally they undertake ventures
which produce transient reactions
Gradually, investors and temperate
SPECTATORS realize more and more fully
that the last eight months rise in the
prices of railroad stocks has been some
thing more than an artificial imitation
The following statement of the gross
| earnings Of the first five months of thu
last six years reveals the true cause
of the rise in market value of this class
of investments:

Buffalo Rates.

There has been considerable com
plant here that excursion rates to Buff
falo in former years were lower than
are now being offered by the railroads,
and some Wheeling people who contem-
plated visiting the Pan-American Expo
sition have changed their minds for
that reason. The rate given to the sing
ing societies last Sunday was not as low
as has been offered heretofore. Rail-
road agents say they have heavy bust
ness with Buffalo as 1t Is, and that it Is
not their custom to offer special rates
when they have practically all the busl-
ness they can attend to.

TRACK LAYING
This Year Promises 10 BE the Great
est in this Regard Since 1890.

This Year Promises TO BE the Great
est in this Regard Since 1890.
Railway building is in active progress
throughout the United States, and it is
said by the Railway Age, which has
been compiling the facts and figures,
that the amount of new track will ex-
coed that laid in any year since 1890.
In the first, or preparatory half Of the
year, 1877 miles of track have been laid,
and it is estimated that the total for the
twelve months will not fall short OF
5000 miles.
In West Virginia track has been laid
on three lines, and 26 miles of new
track went down from January to July.
Ohio shows up with 31s miles, Pennsyl-
vania 60 miles, Virginia miles, New
York 10 miles and Kentucky % miles.
The amount of track laid in the first six
months is greater than during any cor
responding period in the last decade.
