FRACTIONAL CHANGES
IN PRICES OF STOCKS
Business Light, and Trading Alto
gether Professional.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The stock mar
ket opened narrow and irregular. but
averaged slightly higher. The efforts Of
a bull party in Atchison continued. the
stock ruling g higher. Erie. Pennsyl-
vania. Reading, Southern Pacific, St
Paul and many others were unchanged.
Sugar sold q lower. ex-dividend. Anal
gamated Copper lost Il. and General Ell
ectric rose l per cent. Bonds showed
a better tone than stocks. but no price
changes worth noting.
The market this morning has been OF
a holiday character. Business is light
and entirely professional in its nature.
AS a rule fluctuations were limited to
extremely small fractions.
The strength of the grain market was
without particular influence. There was
a little disposition to support Atchison.
which ruled slightly higher. Reading
rallied trife and showed little more
steadiness. Inactivity characterized the
industrials. in which the fluctuations
were without significance. Amalgamated
Copper was steady.
Few issues scored quotations in the
first hour. IN the local traction group.
the only notable feature was an advance
in Metropolitan Securities of 1 per cent,
The speculation promises to remain in
the doldrums under the influence of the
approaching triple stock exchange holi-
day. Government bonds unchanged
An attempt to do business with Lon
don today proved q fat failure. Cables
were interchanged and occasional diff
ferences OF Is per cent were found, but
1T is TO be doubted whether 900 shares
of actual business was carried through
There was no profit in what was done.
There has been little or nothing OF gen.
eraI interest in the local market.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4-There was for
a time better support of cotton futures
at the opening of the cotton exchange
this morning, in face OF cables that
caused general disappointment. Mr..
Brown himself bid the September up to
11.1G against Hip last night and this
started room covering throughout the
list. 1t was continued after the call, be
ing helped by the cool weather through
out the South But while at first offer
ings proved rather light, as II room
traders did not care to be short over
the holidays. they gradually increased,
led by pressure from the big bear inter
ests, until not only was all the early
Improvement destroyed. but October
dropped TO 1905, December to 9.79, and
January to 9.78. these prices represent
ing from 3 to points loss from last
night
AT noon the market sold down TO 10
cents for October and to 9.75 for De-
cember under weight OF stop orders In
commission houses and pressure from
the bear side. But at that level fairly
good buying came to light and rallied
the market several points. Several 10
cal traders were buyers around 10 cents
for October on the theory that spipners
would support the market at that level.
Trading was fairly active all the fore

CURRENT NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS

According TO numerous predictions the
annual statement of the Atchison Road
will show from 51a to 6 per cent earned
on common stock, after the 81, 500. 600 for
the sinking fund has been deducted.
This is considered a small margin above
the dividend now paid.
The application OF John r. Doyle for
an inspection of the books and records
OF the Metropolitan Company has had
some effect on the stock of the COM
panf. The inspection will be made with
a view to obtaining information in re-
gard TO the construction expenditures.
The market for American stocks in
London is stagnant and fractionally
lower today. In fact, the entire London
market is dull and weaker, with a fur
ther decline in consols TO $685., the low

gent need. But the indications are not
of that character
The Washington times., 1903-09-04

While it is customary for the Bank of
England to advance its discount rate
every autumn, the present increase is
unusually early Qast years was on Oe-
tober q. and indicates apprehension on
the part of the management of an urgent
foreign demand for gold next fall. The
bank is taking every precaution to pro-
tect itself against loss of the precious
metal. In the last few months II has ad-
vanced the price of eagles and bar gold,
and now comes the sharp rise in the dis
count rate. This, in the first place, will
postpone gold imports here. and thus
will tend to stiffen the loan market on
this side as we'll as in England. Lord
Rothschild. in an interview, explained
that the early advance was on account
of the heavy drain on the banks stock
of gold by Germany. The action was
taken after that country had engaged
between $4,000. 900 and $4,000 900 for ex-
port While the advance will stop the
export of gold from England to Germany,
it will naturally at least put off engage
ments for this side. The stock market,
however. received the news with equa-
nimity, traders sensibly taking the view
that If the fall money market did harden
a little it would be of no great conse-
Quence.

Industry is feeling the effect of high
priced materials and the advances in
wages granted in the last two years. A
good many enterprises involving fixed
outlays Of capital are consequently
postponed and railroads are already de-
laying improvements wherever possible
until costs can be reduced. 1t is signifi
cant that during the last fiscal year 159
railroads, with a mileage of $4,000
miles, showed an increase of $50 900, 900
in gross earnings in the year, or IA per
cent. while net earnings in the same
period gained only SIS, ,OOO, 600. or about
10 per cent. This change was almost
entirely attributable to the increased
cost OF labor and its effect upon ma
terials.
