HEAVY TRADING
ON STOCK MART
MOVEMENT NARROW, HOWEVER,
OUTSIDE PIVOTAL STOCKS.
Profit Taking in Metropolitan Carries
Market Down, but Later Rise of
Union Pacific Restores Prices to the
Opening Level.

New York, June 15.-Opening prices in
the stock market to-day showed small
gains over last night, and the higher
prices in London this morning helped the
advance. Missouri Pacific Led with gain
of Is. Otherwise the gains were limited
to small fractions. There were some
heavy blocks of Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific transferred on the advance.
Heavy operations in a few stocks
swayed the course of the general market,
but the movement was narrow outside of
the pivotal stocks. Profit-taklng in
Metropolitan Street Railway, which cost
it q, turned the market downward, but
a later rise to 1914 Of Union Pacific car
ried it back to the opening level. South
ern Pacific gained Is Metropolitan Street
Railway, however, remained heavy, as did
Reading. General Electric sold ex-dlvl-
dend and ex-rights at 152@l53h, com
pared with 1881 last night. The rights
brought 57s@5A. Reading second pre-.
ferred, Kansas & Texas preferred and
Nashville, Chattanooga & st. Louis ad-
vanced 1@1A and Railway Investment
fell i. z...E.
The reported plan to issue preferred
stock of the Southern Pacific led to enor-
nous selling of that stock, which dropped
to 46. 1t had sold at 4s9s In the fore
noon, and closed yesterday at 477s. Other
stocks weakened materially in sympat thy,
st. Paul. Pennsylvania, Reading and Ches-
apeake & Ohio losing point, and reacE
lions in number Of other stocks reached
fully as much. Heavy buying of Southern
Pacific rallied 1t to 46B and the market
generally rallied about a half AT
| o'clock the pressure against Southern Pa
| cif1c was resumed. and 1t dropped to be-
low 49, carrying the general market down
with it again.
| The coalers were inclined to be heavy,
and when the rise in Union Pacific paused
Reading receded q under last night.
Manhattan lost as much. sharp reac-
ton followed thruout the list Southern
Pacific dropped back to a half under last
night. Union Pacific reacted Is. Prices
steadied at or slightly below last nights
level Rumors of a new capital issue by

The market became very dull. and the
price movement somewhat confused

unsettled and irregular. There was sale o

DEMAND CUT IN
COAL FREIGHTS
Interstate Commerce Commission
May Thus Shun Other Fight
on Coal Trust.

New York, June 15.-As a result
Of the recent investigation by the
interstate commerce Commission there
is reason to believe, says the Herald,
that a demand will be made for a re-
duction of freight rates on anthracite
coal. Should this course be adopted
it is not believed that any recon-
mendation will be made by the COM.
mission to the federal government for
action against the coal roads as a.
combine to restrain trade.
The commission in making a de-
mand for the reduction of existing
rates would act within it's powers but
the railroads, If they chose, could re-
fuse to make the reduction and carry
the case into the courts.
A reduction Of rates would be Of
great benefit to the Individual oper-t
ators in the Pennsylvania anthracite
field. 1t has been their contention for
years that they were unable to mine
coal at a profit on account of the high
freight. The majority of Individual
operators still in the field sell their
coal at the mines to the great com
panies, receiving proportion of the
selling price of the coal at tidewater.
