county. Both roads are endeavoring to
build lines to the new ore beds recently
opened up on Chalybeate mountain. The
Seaboard has the right Of way from Chat
chic to the mines, and the Louisville and
Nashville attempted to get to the mines
over the same route. going from Alexan-
dria. The tracks of the Louisville and
Nashville were torn up by the Seaboard
and their own placed down and guards
were placed on duty along the route. 1t
Is stated that serious clash is liable to
occur at any time. Fabulous prices are
being offered for labor and teams by both
companies and work is being pushed night

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
A QUIET DAY BUT PRICES
STEADILY ROSE.

Sugar One of the Lively Ones, Copper
Another-Unpreceden Trade Con-
ditions-Easy MOney-GOssip.
Yesterdays stock market was a dull
one, but strong one.
Prices of the active stocks rose quite
steadily.
Reading was left to itself, but Anal
gamated, Union Pacific and Sugar were
active and higher; also st. Paul.
The quite state of speculation reflect
ed the mixed state Of market opinion.
The two reactions that have occurred
have made the bear element more con-
fident.
The ease of the money market and
moderate return flow of money to New
York from the interior was largely re-
sponsible for the putting up of stocks
yesterday
The best opinion is that there will be
a quiet trading market for another
month, until the winter wheat crop is
well shaped.
Union Pacific was pressed for sale on
each rally though friends of the insid-
ers were urging people to buy the stock.
There is a curiosity as to what sort of
showing this and other Pacific compa-
MES will make for April and May, by
reason Of confusion in traffic to and
from the Pacific coast.
There is practically no commission
house business, and not much prospect
of the public taking any great interest
just now.
Lackawanna sold up to 500, new
high record, the previous high price be-
ing 1881 in 1905. 1t sold yesterday at
the opening at 4,85. 1t was reported
that the next dividend might be in
creased.
Tips were plentiful. 1t was said that
a dividend of 20 per cent, would be de-
clared on Anaconda. Every one seem
ed to know early that the report gave
the surplus as over $5.0OO,000. The
Shelters 10 per cent. dividend story
persisted so did that of a per cent
rate on National Lead. There were
tips on Union Pacific, Atchison, Brook
Ign Rapid Transit and Norfolk and
western. Most OF them had 10 90 with
higher dividend predictions.
United States Reduction and Refining
scored sharp advance, While minor
steel stocks also showed considerable
buoyancy There was no news in re-
gard to any Of them to account for the
rise.
Anaconda's annual report gave the
surplus for the year as $5,71S,00O, and
added that with the increased depths
reached, the life Of the mines and the
grade of ore are assured for years to
come"
The advance on Consolidated Gas de-
veloped considerable short interest
A report was current that some very
influential persons were short of this
stock
The railroads were quiet over the be-
lief that there will be great deal OF
new borrowing later in the season. The

Frequent Fluctuations Indicate the I'm
settled and Hesitating Condition of
Speculative Sentiment.

New York, May 16.-Frequent fiuctu-
atoms in prices to-day indicated the
unsettled and hesitating condition of
speculative sentiment. When it is add
ed that the fluctuations tended to be-
come narrower and the volume of the
markets activity to decrease it will be
seen that the expected period of dull
ness and sluggishness in the market is
developing, according to precedent, aft
er the violent decline and the sharp
recovery which the market has recent
ly passed through. There was a mark
ed disposition to turn the stocks of the
class down as specialties for action on
the part of the professional contingent
which operates from day to day in the
stock market without regard to the
propitiousness of general conditions of
money and industry. Stocks which are
subject to peculiar influences of their
own trades are selected at such per-
iods. Sugar was the old time favorite
which was made especially prominent
to-day with a degree of activity which
has not been seen for many months.
The parallel movement in American
been sugar was made to give a SEM
blance of important developments i'm
pending regarding trade relations, but
no authentic information was given on
the subject. There was a similar
movement in Amalgamated Copper and
the Copper group. This wGs professed-
" based on the annual report of the
Anaconda Mining company The high
Nv prosperous conditions in the copper
trade were duly reflected in this report,
which was also elaborated with finan-
cial and operating details beyond prec-
edent. Something was made of this
fact as a promise of a departure in
policy on the part of the group of cap
itaiists which the stock market element
designates as 1.-THE Standard Oil party. .
The money outlook was the subject of
earnest consideration in the light of the
borrowing by the Pennsylvania COM
pany Yesterday of $5O,OO0,0O0 for eigh-
teen months on a basis of rather more
than 5 per cent. Funds in the time loan
market were reported abundant and not
readily lendable at 4 ga per cent. for
periods up to six months. Discounts
hardened in all foreign markets. some
of the exchange offerings in this mar
ket was said to be on account OF for
eign purchases of the Pennsylvania
notes. The influence of the Anaconda
annual report was supplemented to

some extent by intiinations of a forth
coming statement from the Standard
Oil company, from which a favorable
effect on speculative sentiment was
augured. The market continued to
show some irregularity throughout the
day but last prices were about the
best and the closing tone was firm
Bonds were steady. Total sales par
value, $2,415,0 900
