Perth Amboy evening news., 1905-10-17

Using and catering to the public the
rapid transit could make Perth Am
boy its largest station with heavier
traffic than any other place on its
line. Judging from its present man
agement, however, it is doing all it
can to discourage the use of it's road
here and it would seem that its ulti-
mate intention is to cut Perth Amboy
off its route.
In the first place the road has a
schedule, such as it is, but fails to
keep it. But how can it be expected
to keep a schedule with such engines
are are provided for the trains? They
look as if they were made in the year
1 and have never been repaired since
except when one breaks down some
where on the road between here and
st. George and the engineer gets out
and crawls around the machinery for
a half hour trying to patch her up,
while the passengers climb out and
steal apples in a neighboring orchard.
If the break cannot be fixed in from
a half to three-quarters of an hour,
some of the crew walks to the near
est telegraph station and the train
remains stalled until another old rat
tle-trap is sent out from st. George
to continue the trip.
Schedule? What's the use? Don't
need any schedule. You get there
when you get there and that's all
there is about it.
AS for the passenger coaches, they
look like old workout cars which
$3.50
have been taken off the elevated
road in Manhattan. Believing it too
risky to have people ride in them
there any longer they are sent over to
Staten Island to serve another half
century. They are entirely too light
for such traffic as is demanded on
Staten Island.
What is needed is a good road bed,
a complete double track system,
heavier cars and more up-to-date en-
gines. Then give us a few expresses
and it will be worth while riding
across the island and it would be a
safe bet that you would land at the
other end of your journey the same
day.
Perhaps there is some reason for
this apparent Indifference and it may
be that extensive improvements will
burst upon us all at once. We trust
the officials will spare us too sudden
a shock, however, for some of the
commuters might not survive and
that would be an increased loss to
the company.

YESTERDAY'S STOCK M4RKEE

Reading Continues Its Surprising Ad-
 yance-Rest of Market Weak.
 New York, Nov. S.-Reading contin- ued its surprising advance in the mark ct to-day while practically everything else went lower. The volume of trad ing underwent considerable epanxsion but this was largely attributable to the enormous dealings in Reading, which had the market to itself for long per- 1ods. The relation between the rise in Reading and the weakness in the rest Of the market was puzzling. An up- ward spuft m Reading usually preceded the free selling movements of the day elsewhere. Whether the excited ad- vance in Reading awakened unaasiness on the part of the holders of other se- curlLles for fear of a disaster to the shorts in that stock, or whether Read ing was pushed up in an effort to sus- tain prices while realizing was conduct ca elsewhere, were differing conjectures open to the choice of observers. The desire and apparent necessity to Ifuuf- date stocks other than Reading was sufficiently obvious. This pressure was commonly attributed to the exigencies or the money situation, although the contemplation of the results of yestef- days election undoubtedly was an un- settling influence on speculative senti- ment In some cases Taking the results as whole there was no disposition to dlScern anything conducive to corpora- ton advantage or privilege in the Spirit or the electorate. The course of events during the day emphasized the influence or the money outlook and gave it il dominant effect in the later trading. The banks are clearly sustaining fur ther heavy cash losses out of the meag- CT surplus reserve shown by Saturdays bank statement. The outgo from the banks since that statement, on sub treasury operations alone, amounts to S2l57,O0 To-day there were trans- ferred through the sub treasury S1.- 050,000 to New Orleans and $1O0, 900 to St. Louis, This would be more than sufficient to wipe out the surplus as it stood on Saturday. There are heavy movements of currency besides by df- rect express movement to the interior. The rise in call money rate to the max lmum of the year at 9 1-2 per cent and the movement to reduce credit obliga- tions by liquidation of stocks therefore there were some other points of strength amongst industrial specialties, the iron and other metal stocks figur- ing largely in the showing. These movements were attributed more to professional operations than to any large general demand. a The decline gained cumulate force in the latter part of the day and the closing, was active and weak at the lowest. price of the day. The special weakness of Missouri Pacific was attributed to the poor com- parison of earnings with last year. The leadership of St. Paul in the decline was Of decided effect on speculative sentiment.

 The stock market tried to rally yes terday over the fact that Hearst was defeated, but over the fear that the returns would be contested stocks went down again. The pace was accelerated by the announcement that call money had risen to 10 per cent.

 The street was filled with points yes terday to buy Brooklyn Rapid Transit probably because of the excellent show ing of the company for the September quarter which indicated an increase of $51e,000 in surplus after all charges. The surplus was $1,006,00o, or more than what it was for the corresponding quarter year ago. The gross tncreas- ed $549,G00, so that most of this in crease was saved in surplus.

 The stock exchange was skeptical as to whether much of short interest in Reading had been carried over from Monday. The violent bidding up of this stock from around 13G to 142 be- fore noon, with sales of more than 150,- 900 sares up to o'clock, was designed apparently to sustain the general list, which was subject to selling pressure all the morning.
