MOVEMENT TO EXTEND OVER week
Check to Activity on Change Resulted
In Only slight Concessions and
Prices Were Lifted to Highest
Level Again Late in the Day-cIos.
ing Tone Steady.
tBy Associated Press,

ausoiptioH OIL StCCKS on rising
scale today was brought almost, to a
standstill by the especially heavy
engagements OF gold for export to
Paris tomorrow. Conditions in the
exchange market had prepared ex.
peculion for additional shipments to-
morrow, but so large a sum as 49,
100000 was surprise. The move.
ment was the more impressive by
reason of the failure of foreign ex.
change to show an effect as is usual
owing to the custom of selling ex-
change bills against gold shipments
when they are made
The rates today, however, were
nrmly maintained and 1t was evident
that the outward movement OF gold
was to extend over into next week.
New Railroad iRelations.
A feature of the day was the ri.
mors of new railroad relations which
came into circulation. Apparently
thes plan for transfer of control OF
the Boston & Maine to the New York,
New Haven & Hartford gave the i'm
petus to these rumors. Many of them
conferred about supposed transfer
or control of Delaware & Hudson, but
none of them received any official
sanction. The coalers were all help
ed by the evidence of prosperous con-
dittons In that trade. Includede in
the showing was the huge increase
In the tonnage OF May shipments
over those in May or last year.
Readings prominence in the days
advance was partly due to this and
was Increased by rumors of proposed
increase In the dividend rate also
without official sanction.
Concessions Only Sliaht.
The check 10 activity which fol-
lowed the gold export engagements
resulted In only slight concessions
in prices, and they were lifted to the
highest level again late in the day.
The closing tone was fairly steady.
