garding the position in the stock mar

Mr.. Osgood has given out the fol-
lowing statement regarding the matter:
I'm view Of the false and malicious
statements which have recently been
published to the effect that | am
short of Colorado Fuel and Iron com
mon stock and have advocated the
suspension of dividends for stock Job
bing purposes, | state most emphatical-
~ that / have not sold a share of stock

rectly, sold a share of stock for the
last sixty days, and the stock | sold
prior to that time was FOR the purpose
Of reinvesting in the Colorado Fuel and

The statement that there was a gen

ment to pay dividends for another year
is as false as II is ridiculous. | have
purposely refrained from discussing the
matter Of payment or non payment of

NEW YORK, June 2S.--Despite the

ruled comparatively easy during the

better inquiry for time accommoda-

There was also a good demand for six

Rumor Has 1t That 1t
Will Be Done Through
the District Courts.
F STREET HEARS OF PLAN
Thought That Despite Failure of CON-
gress to Pass Bill Authorizing In
crease in Stock of Local Gas Com
pany 1t Will Be Done in Another Way

An interesting rumor is heard regard
# Street connects with the recent
strength of gas stock. despite the defeat
of the company's bill in Congress.
It is asserted that the defeat of the
bill providing for the increase OF the
capital stock OF the company from
2.5OO,OOo to s12.5Oo,oOo. is not to deter
the company from accomplishing Its
purpose, but that other means will be
found to increase the capitalization.
The story as 1t is told in Street Is
that the lawyers Of the company have
given It as their opinion that the in
crease of capitalization can be accom-
plished in the District courts, without
any sanction by Congress. 1t is said fur
ther that this plan has been agreed on
and that It will be carried into effect in
the near future.
Advanced Many Dollars.
Washington gas stock advanced many
dollars u snare In price during the time
that the Washington gas bill was under
consideration by Congress. 1t was said
by many brokers that this advance was
due entirely 20 belief that the bill would
be passed. Some brokers said that the
movement was speculative one entire
ly. and that the people who were buy
ing the stock we're selling quite as much
as they were buying.
Predictions Not Fulfilled.
AS a result of these stories it was
generally expected that the price of the
stock would Immediately tumble when
the bill was defeated. One prediction
made by a well-informed local broker
was that gas would sag back to 60. and
that it would not recover. either.
There has been much surprise that
these predictions were not fulfilled. The
stock did tumble in price, but not near
ly so far as had been looked for. And
it has been particularly strong recently
at level which brokers say is not war
ranted by the 10 per cent dividend paid
by the company.

There was 10 selling pressure, but
dealings in the granger stocks as a
group were restricted on advices from
the West of excessive rainfalls where
Cry weather had been hoped for.
These reports resulted in higher prices
for wheat and firmness in the domestic
grain markets. 1t is to be noted, how
ever, that the receipts of wheat from
first hands are increasing. Illinois Cen
tIal was also taken in hand by the
Western speculative contingent and en-
joyed an advance of 21s per cent, all of
which was retained.
The continued rise is accounted for by
the fact that, notwithstanding the great
falling off year ago in the corn crop,
the company has been earning al the
rate of more than twice the amount OF
the dividend requirements.
