TRADING WAS CONFINE
TO A FEW STOCKS ONLY
Spectators Sell Out in Last Half
Hour, and Market Says.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-At no time
during the day were the transactions in
the stock market heavy. interesting as a
whole or containing important develop
ments In spots. The leading stocks of
Friday. United States Steel common,
Atchison common. and Union Pacific
common, continued fully as prominent
as any, but the trading suggested only
an aftermath of Fridays more important
dealings. These issues were dominated
almost entirely by the room trading eIe-
ment- London was light buyer of the
market.
The bank statement was not looked
upon favorably. as it contained an in
crease in loans. a loss in cash of near
ly 100000. about double what was ex-
pected. and a decrease in reserve of the
full amount of the loss in cash. The
first effect Of the bank statement was a
general selling off. measured by quota
tions of Il to 4 OF one per cent
The market during the last half hour
sagged further. mainly because traders
who went long Friday. stimulated by
fresh hopes OF the immediate future, saw
no promise ahead and sold out to go over
the weeks end with the minimum
amount Of open responsibilities.
The close was decidedly soft and not
appreeiably above the lowest of the day.
Few of the declines were extensive; s.
Paul reacted per cent from the highesr.
Atehison Is. Union Pacific 5s. and Read
ing y. Some pressure on Brooklyn Rapid
Transit anticipated the publication Of
the annual report. A little stir in III =
cotton market tended vaguely to injure
stock prices. There was no attempt to
make capital of grain prices OF weather
reports.
Government bonds were unchanged
Railroad bonds were quiet.

THE INTERNATIONAL STUDIO.

The opening article of the Inter
national Studio" discusses the work of
learned Spanish painter, Ignacio Eu-
loaga, by Henri Frantz. There is a
glamour about the Spanish School OF Art
which makes discussion of it peculiarly
interesting, and from the numerous re
productions of Zuloaga's work. scat
tered through the article. we see clear
ly the force and life and originality
which he has inherited from the fore
runners in the same schOol-Velasquez
Zurbaran, and Goya. Zuloaga himself
springs from an ancient Hibernian stock
and the blood OF his ancestors runs pure
in his veins He was born at Eiber. in
the rough Basque country, which seems
to endow its children with all that is
energetic and audacious. His father and
grandfather both were professional
craftsmen, one in metallic work, and ;he
other as damasconer.
Another article deals with the work of
Mr.. G. F. Watts, found among the por-
traiture hanging upon the walls OF Hol-
land House. This work shows Watts
early portrait painting. particularly OF
the famous foreigners who were driven
20 England from the Continent In the
mid-century troublous times.
Lawrence Binyon has a eritique on the
exhibition Of drawings by. the old mas
ters at the British Museum, beautifully
illustrated with several magnificent
plates in tint and color. This is an op-
portunity for those who cannot visit The
European galleries TO study the
draughtsmanship of the great master5-
Rubens, Poussin. Vandyck, Raphael,
Primaticolo, etc.
The number closes with the Usual
studio talk from all the world over.
showing various remarkable exhibits In
the arts and crafts from the European

RAILROAD RATES IN
MEXICO ARE RAISED
An American Manager Makes Trav.
cling Expensive.

Circulars reached the city yesterday
announcing that all of the railroads of
Mexico had decided to raise passenger
and freight rates IS per cent. saying the
government had given its consent to the
proposal.
Local railroad men say these rail-
roads have never paid any dividends to
amount to anything. yet the capitau for
their construction. with but two excep-
tions. has been furnished by Americans.
1t is said that capitalists of the United
States have more than $500. 900 900 in
vested In the lines.
The raise is the result of the recent
reorganization of the Mexican Central
and its practical absorption by the Rock
Island and Frisco systems. w. B. Leeds.
president of the Rock Island, is the
man who is said to be responsible for
introducing modern methods into the
land OF the AZtecs. He assumed charge
OF the affairs of the Mexican Central re-
Gently, and found the rates charged such
that no railroad could be operated at
a profit with them in force.
II is said he interviewed several of
the highest government officers and the
boards of management OF the other
lines, at which the agreement was
reached to make the raise.

These sections are between Washington

General Development.

OF course. only a fraction Of these mil
lions is going into double tracks. The
Seaboard Air Line, for instance, has put
several millions into new rolling stock,
new shops and property around Norfolk
1t is spending much more on the new
extensions at Birmingham and In the
Manatee country in Florida. The Chesa-
peake and Ohio has put fortune into
new rolling stock and double tracks on
the Greenbrier extension and the coal
and timber branches. The Atlantic
Coast Line is building several new OK
tensions in Florida. The Norfolk and
Western is double tracking and is buy
ing new locomotives and cars The Cen
trail of Georgia is extending it's lines
The Baltimore and Ohio is double track
ing, building bridges and making i'm
prOvements generally all over West Vlr-
ginia. The Louisville and Nashville is
building now terminals in New Orleans.

LONDON CABLE LETTER.

LONDON. Sept. 12.-The sales of con-
soils, under which this weeks ss point

they chiefly represented were realizo-
tlons by tired operators for the rise; /;
with. however, occasional forced selling
by persons who had to raise cash.
Prices on the stock exchange were ir-
regular, but business was fairly cheer
full Consols had a better tone, and home
railway shares were mostly higher, on
investment demand. American stocks
opened irregular and mostly below part

Southern Double Tracking.

For some reason known only to them
selves the newspapers in sections OF the
country other than the South have of
ing the extraordinary amount OF double
tracking and other improvements which
railroads have under way in Virginia,
West Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida. Alabama, and
the Gulf States. All of the news" they
are now printing is old to the journals
in the territory through which the lines
pass. and those on the outskirts of the
territory. including The Times. 1t is
goc J. however. this activity. though the
purpose is obscure. as 1t brings 20 the
attention of the population in less fav-
ored localities, the great undeveloped
wealth that lies fallow waiting the In
dustry of agricultural, manufacturing
and commercial colonists-
One article now going the rounds gives
an account of the plans of the Wash
ington Southern Railroad, q combination
of the Pennsylvania. the Baltimore and
Ohio the Chesapeake and Ohio, and sew
sral less important systems. which con-
trolls the Washington. Fredericksburg,
and Potomac
This is the trunk line for all of the
big systems except the Southern, and the
Seaboard Air Line. The article. which
was published in substance in The
Times. three weeks ago. was reprinted
in some OF the papers yesterday. II is
in effect that $1i .O00, 600 is to be spent
in double tracking the system of the
Washington. Fredericksburg, and Poto-
mac. and IL concludes with the asser-
tion that $4,000. 900 worth of the bonds
have already been disposed Of by the
company.
In point of fact. and this is news,
nearly all of the $4,000 900 has already
been spent on the vast scheme of i'm
provement This scheme. by the way,
is really a part OF the union station.
and other big projects planned for
Washington. Part of the SO. .OOO, 900 has
already gone into the new Potomac
Bridge, and more OF 1t has been spent
for the land which the company has been
buying from Alexandria. all the way
south over the route OF the lines to
Richmond.
For years the big Eastern lines named
have been doing their direct business
with the South over this one small,
single track connection between two of
the richest sections of the United States
When the union station was planned the
Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and
Ohio contended for the building OF the
additional track. and their contention
won. Hence the appropriation of the
eleven millions. II can be said, and
this is news, II is the intention of the
big railroads 20 make the Washington,
Fredericksburg and Potomac a trunk
line. rallied and ballasted equal to some
Of the lines between Philadelphia and
New York-and that is the finest track
age that can be found anywhere in the
world The work is not soon to be
commenced" as announced in the re-
printed article. 1t is now going on and
IL has been in progress six months.
