CENTRAL MUST BURY WIRES.
Unless Courts Upset Order of Com
missioner O'Brien.

NEW YORK, September 17.-Commission-
er OF rien of the department of water sup
ply. gas and electricity has decided that
the overhead high tension wires of the New
York Central railroad between Spuyten
Duyvil and 96th street must be put under
the ground but before issuing the formal
order he has written TO Corporation Coun-
sci Pendleton asking in what form the order
shall be issued and whether there is any
doubt of his jurisdi :tion. over the wires
even where they are stretched over the
company's own right OF way. The reason
given for burying them is that they are
dangerous.
1t Is estimated that It would cost the COM
pany nearly $3,thO 90 to put the wires IN
der ground, and 1t is understood that the
company will resort to the courts. A state
ment issued last night by the company's
counsel says
The company was required by chapter
4o5 of the laws of 1903 to operate it's trains
through the Park avenue tunnel by cleo
tr!city. This necessitated the operation by
electricity to High Bridge and Wakefield
or points north thereof AS an incident to
this requirement and right to operate by
electricity it had the right to construct and
main, ain the iiansin.s sim lines III CUE. f!uf.
The method of constructing. supporting and
maintaining these transmission lines was
determined by the board of experts which
passed ON the general subject Of eectrca
construction for his railroad For most
part the transmission lines are along the
company's own light of way After the
plans had been adopted by the expert COM
mission they We're submitted in August.
1895 to the then commissioner of water
supply, gas and electricity. No action was
taken until March, 1905 The plans were
then approved except as to the aerial wires.
In the meantime the company proceeded
with the construction of these wires, as 1t
was bound to unless the operation by cleo
tricity was to be delayed

The fact that the United States Steel

SLICES OF MELON
EFFECT OF EXPECTED DIsTRIBU
TON ON TWO SECURITIES.

\ couple of lots of Mitchell mining stock
at today's meeting of the stock exchange
sold for rs. which is an eighth of 4 point
less than the selling price of yesterday.
one and quarter was bid for one hundred
shares or for one thousand shares before
the sales on the lower level were made The
bid, however. contin ued unchanged at the
close, while the asking price was Il r..
The course in this stock seemed to attract
some attention. as Was evident from the
comments heard about the room. One of
the brokers wanted TO know where the fig
ure would be If The recession continued at
the rate of an eighth of point day. On
the supposit!on that would be the case he
bid an eighth of point for an option on
the stock for eleven days.
Another broker still more fippant OBJ
served he would .;ive 10 cents for one
Thousand shares.
The other copper stock on the list did not
show any change In the figures as COM
pared with those of yesterday. and also no
attempt was made tc trade in it.
The two typeset ing machine stocks did
not figure in the trading. and in this par
ticular of course were in the same class as
the ma ioritv of the securities on the list.
In the case of those latter stocks it is
thought that thev have withstood the
shrinkasc which has gone in the gen
eral stock market in a highly creditabe
manner. In fact. that is the judgment on
practically the entire list, which indicates
that the securities must be in strong hands.
The only Instances of gains when a COM
parlson Is made between the figures of the
early part of June aud those of today are

cases it is the expectation that something

But in either event it Is supposed that the
annual dividend on the stock will be re-
sumed a rate which Is variously con-
jectured to be from to 6 per cent
The course taken by the common stock
of the Washington Railway and Electric
Company showed the present tendency of
the market. Although the bid for the stock
advanced seventh-eighths of a point above
that of yesterday. yet but little stock was
found to be for sale at that and lower fig
ures. At the same time there an
equally restricted demand for it those

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September lit is almost
Impossible to get any one to express def
mite opinion regarding tn, probable course
of the stock market for the next few weeks.
1t is pointed out that there are many
conflicting factors in the situation that 1t
IS well-nish useless to attempt a forecast.
Some observers who have watched the
market very closely for several weeks sag
that they would not be at all surprised to
see very pronounced rally start at almost
any time. With the exception of the cop
per and other metal stocks, they think that
the market has withstood very we'll the on
saught made by the operators for short
account. thus demonstrating. they think
that the market is thoroughly sold out and
that moderate amount of buying would
turn it upward quickly.
Others are disposed to believe that the
market will continue irregular. and grad
ually sag TO lower level. They admit
that very much of an unfavorabe character
for some time to come must Rave been
pretty generally discounted i'll the slump
that has ken place. but they do not think
that the largest interests Will be disposed to
buy stocks to any extent unit! the whole
situation looks clearer than it does now

They point out however. that If in the
