Many traders were busy today in put
Ting out fresh short lines because of
the disappointing action of the market
and dullness of speculation. BuIfish
traders who were conspicuous In mark
ing up prices yesterday did little today
in the way of supporting the market.
The total transactions for the first hour
barely exceeded 100. 900 shares.
The Washington times., 1903-09-01


stock in the last few months. and con-
troll is held absolutely by the interests
represented on the board of directors.
The companys earnings show marked I'm
provement, and the time is approaching
when stockholders will be able to figure
dividend. 1t is likely that when the
Interborough Company secures the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company the
latter will be in a position to demand
guaranteed dividend. Interborough
guarantees Manhattan per cent until
1906, when the rate will be raised to Z
per cent.
Excellent reports for July continue to
arrive, and those of the Central Railroad
of New Jersey and the Southern Railway
are noteworthy. The first named showed
an increase in gross earnings OF 1874. 675
and in net an increase of $40. 900, as
compared with the same month a year
ago. and a surplus. after fixed charges
and taxes, 1888, S04, against a deficit
last year of $S5,1s0. Southern Railway
earnings increased in gross s296,64S and
in net $109. 273s.l This company's annual
report will soon be issued. and it is be-
lieved that 1t will make a favorable
showing. although the company's large
expenditures on the property from earn
ings have offset to some extent the in
crease in gross returns. Upward of ~
per cent is expected on the common.
Demands for money from the South
and West are not heavy, owing to late
crops, but the chances are that re-
quirements of the cotton harvest will be-
gin TO be felt this week. Higher prices
for cotton, corn. and wheat will doubt
less cause heavier shipments of cur
rency from New York this fall than a
year ago, but there appears to be lit
tie chance OF acute disturbance in this
market, although higher rates for
money must be expected. In the last
week receipts of wheat at Chicago were
$4,000 bushels less than in the same
week in 1902, receipts of oats were
467 900 bushels lighter. while receipts of
corn were 1902, 900 bushels heavier
General traffic movements on the West
ern roads for the last week were heay-
Ter than in the corresponding time a
year ago. and reports from all parts of
the country were encouraging.

The vigorous selling on the New York
exchange was accounted for by the dis
appointment OF the traders to dispose
OF some of their stocks at the higher
London quotations. Commission houses
were practically without orders, showing
a continued absence of any outside re-

While the statement made by the
Reading road for the month of July is
expected TO act as stimulant to specu-
lation in coal stocks, the investing pub
lie has not failed to note that the COM
parison is made with period last year
when the coal strike was at its height.
At present the production of anthracite
coal seems to have overrun the demand.
and there is some talk of closing the
mines owned by the Reading company.
