Stocks Suffer shrinkaee.

Twentythree (23) railroads and fourteen Q4 dustrials. of the 2i0 stocks more or less actively traded in on the New York stock exchange, suffered a shrinkage of $o4o OO0,O00 on the market slump. It is en- tirely safe to say that the loss on the remaining POO odd stocks is as large in the aggregate, or larger, for with two or three exceptions everything on the list underwent terrific price punishment At d low estimate there was q total loss of $1, FOG, 100000 in the prices of American railroads and industrials from the mid dle of January last The break was ragged, being most severe in the special ties which had been subject to greatest pool manipulation and felt least in stan dard properties which had been run with smallest regard for the Wall street end. Notable in the latter category were Atchi son, Rock Island, Southern Pacific, llli- nois Central. Louisville and Nashville and Erie The Jim" Hill group had the hardest fall among the railroads. Great Northern shriveled around $100, 00O,000 and Northern Pacific S62,OO0OO0, as measured by quotations. the first breaking 6S points and the latter 40. New York Central sold D points off from the highest, equivalent to $37, 900 900 and Pennsylvania had a drop of 22 points, a shrnkage of $67 100000 on a share capital of $305 100000. Union Pa cific was trimmed $43 100000. Reading $95,- coo 900. Chicago and Northwestern $44,000,

In all the Washington agitation and per- formance there is not one single thing which can be construed as hostile to law-abidng citizens in any walk of life or to property in any form. The agita- tion and performance have all been to the uplifting of business morals and hon. est administration. The more Wall street thinks of these things the more sane must be it's view of the results attained by the law making powers and by the agencies ntrusted with the enforcement of the statutes.

A GENERAL UNLOADING
BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

New York. July 7.-Wall street did not share in the magnificent prosperity en- joyed by the country at large during the first half of the calendar year. which by custom has come to be commonly looked upon as the last half of the fiscal or business year. While the rest of the na- ton fairly bubbled over with joy and hope and plenty Wall street was seized with bad case of blues and proceeded to unload stocks as though fearful that the end of the earth was at hand Fore knowledge of the disbursement of Sl6O0OO,- 000 in July half year dividends and inter- est Ca record breaker) did not dispel the gloom, neither did good reports from every quarter pertaining to crops, com merce and the industrials. To the Wall street view everything was to the bad.

Great Business Year.

Measured in dollars and cents this has been the greatest business year in the nations history As people we have done more and have more to show for it The business year of 1905-6 is record breaking, a point of material achieve ment. It has been a banner year for the farmers and manufacturers, for mer- chants, for railroads and for every de- partment and lewiston of activity. The railroads in particular. and it is to them that Wall street looks most closely have everything to be thankful for They have done larger business than ever before with better net results the increased earnings being due in part to enlarged tonnage and in part to the saving an immense aggregate sum which formerly went back to favored shippers in direct or indirect rebates. The 'evenng up" process is for the general good.
