A Remarkable Shrinkage.

The remarkable shrinkage in the deal
fngs in Norfolk and Western from
over 200 shares yesterday to less than
1900 shares today bears out the dag
nosis OF yesterdays market for this
stock. On the light transactions noted
the stock lost three-ffths of yester-
days net improvement. At the same
time Chesapeake and Ohio lost a point.
the speculation in that stock being
caused by the curtailment of the BIZ
luminous coal tonnage of the company
in consequence OF the miners strike in
the territory tributary to the road.
OF the high priced stocks of the
granger trunk lines, Rock Island sus-
tanned the greatest net loss. namely. 32s
per cent. The dealings in It were less
than 1000 shares. 1t was authoritatively
announced today that the readjustment
and expansion of the company's capital
ization would not be accomplished
through an underwriting syndicate, and
that therefore only the stockholders
wouli be concerned In the transactions
<and would be the only ones who would
derive benefit from the transaction.
The Washington times., 1902-07-30
London Not a Factor.

London was an inconsiderable factor
today. being engaged with the fort
nightly settlement on its own stock ex-
change. Foreign arbitrage transactions
on balance were sales aggregating less
than 1000 shares. a feature in the
early dealings was sharp advance in
Colorado Fuel, all OF which was subse-
quently lost. and on sales OF less than
1000 shares the stock closed 2 points
lower than yesterday. The fight for
control of this company al the annual
meeting Of stockholders next month bids
fair 10 be the most vigorous and pos
sibly the bitterest Wall Street has ever
witnessed.
In the Industrial list the most i'm
portant dealings were In Amalgamated
Copper. which sustained a net loss OF
X per cent On moderate transactions
Sugar Refining broke nearly 3 points,
The Washington times., 1902-07-30
Very Slight Gains.

Missouri Pacific supplied fully a
tenth of the total transactions, and not
withstanding extensive buying. it en-
joyed a maximum advance of only three
fourths of per cent, of which only one
third was retained at the close. There
was little improvement In the anthracite
coal stocks. This mornings advances
from the anthracite regions certainly
furnished no basis for a revival of
speculation in the shares of the COM
panies producing and handling hard
coal.
The reasons advanced for today's de-
cline in prices have existed for at
least week. They include past and
prospective exports of specie which are
not being Offset by subtreasury dis
bursements, though these are fairly
large by receipts of gold at Pacific Coast
points and by receipts of currency from
the interior.
The late selling was influenced to an
extent by disappointment at the
declaration of the usual dividends
on Northern Pacific and on Union
Pacific issues. There has been no
reason TO expect an increase in
these. especially in those In Union Pa
ciic stocks, as it was authoritatively
stated when the present rights were an
nounced on Union Pacific stock that the
! per cent that they would be worth
should be construed by investment hold
ers OF the stock as equivalent to an ex-
ira dividend of l per cent upon each
class, making the yield upon them for
the year per cent

Depressed by Figures.

The last-named was second only to
Missouri Pacific in respect to activity.
TIE market for it was depressed by the
unfavorable showing of earnings for
June, which was explained by the inter-
ruption to traffic by floods and by the
comparison with extraordinarily large
earnings for the same month year
ago.
Canadian Pacific was also unfavorably
affected by the publication of the COM
pany's traffic figures for June and be-
sides by advices from Canada that the
owners of various transcontinental
steamship lines operating from Cana
dian ports will oppose the efforts of tha
Canadian Pacific Railway Company to
obtain from the British government a
