BIRMINGHAM. Ala, August 1.-The
state Of Alabama. through Frank n. Julian.
secretary of state. has revoked the license
OF the Southern Railway Company to do
business In this state. because of the al
legged violation OF an act passed by the leg
islature last March for the further regu-
lation of foreign corporations doing bust
ness in Alabama The Southern Railway
Company Is a Virginia corporation.
The act in question prevents such cor
porations from transferring a suit brought
from state court to the federal courts
In a civil suit brought against the railroad
In Talladega county by a man who claimed
damages for alleged personal injuries the
federal court The clerk of the county
court at Talladega so notified the secretary
Of state. who Immediately Cancelled the
railroads license.
The law above referred to was recently
declared unconstitutional by federal
judge in this state. The case is extremely
complicated. and the action of the state
authorities Is another step in the fight OF
Gov. Conner and his administration on the
railroads.
An extra session of the legislature Will
be held in the fall to adopt more stringent
railroad regulation laws to meet the sit
uation created by the various rate regula-
ton laws being enjoned in the federal
courts.

CLEVELAND. O.. August 1.-The north
west will suffer a more severe coal famine
during the coming winter than the record
breaking one Of last year. which cost 80
many lives. according to big coal shippers
Of this city.
1t is declared that the inability of the rail-
roads to supply the boats with enough ceal.
and the great demand for ore. occasioned
by the closing of the strike Of the ore han
dlers. will bring about far-reaching short
age Of the supply Of fuel at the upper lakes
With the best Of fortune and If all the
hopes Of vessel men are fulfilled, the region
out beyond the upper lakes will have from
three million to Ave million tons of coal
less than 1t will require. according to esti-
mates made by the prominent shippers.
Ohio shippers are rushing fuel to upper
lake ports in every vessel they can charter.
Since the opening of navigation shipments
to the head Of the lakes are considerably
greater at this time than they were year

NEW YORK. August On a greatly re-

not sufficient animation in the trading 10

Such strength the market showed. In
fact appeared to reflect Little more than
the retirement of portion of the short
sales made yesterday. The business OF
commission houses was again upon only a
nominal scale.
The London stock market was equally
as listness as that in New Yo-k, although
some excuse for !naetion there existed in
the forthcoming suspension of business
from this afternoon until Tuesday morn
ing over one of LondonS periodical stock
exchange holidays. The copper stocks were
again exceptionally weak in the London
market IN sympathy with the further de-
cline In the quotations for copper metal:
Foreign houses were buyers in the local
market to the extent of about 5000 shares.

Reading furnished a large proportion of
the transactions in the railway list.
Some Extensive Advances.
Northern Pacific and Great Northern pre-

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
NEW YORK. August 2.-In view Of the
decline in the stock market during the last
few days. due. it Is believed. to consider
able extent to operations on the short side.
a fafr-szed rally would not cause surprise
to some close readers of the tape. Con-
sentative observers do not believe, however.
that the upward movement OF the last
two weeks was resumed and think On the
other hand that the tendency Of the mar
ket will be downward.
A shrewd observer of conditions. who Is
in a position to get good information both
here and abroad, says that In his opinion
the money market will be the dominant
factor in the stock market for some time
to come. Within the last few days he has
received private advices from London which
indicate that monetary conditions at that
center no more favorable than they
are on this SIDE According to his informa-
ton local investment issues IN London are
In better demand than the standard invest
ment issues In the United States. Further
more. according to this informant. London
stock market interests are disposed to sell
American railroad shares whenever they
are advanced by operation of American in
tereStS.
private cable received by a prominent
International house. recently from Berlin.
indicated no better state OF affairs in fnan-
cial circles at that center than exists in
London and New York. Recently, 1t has
been found necessary to raise the interest
rate on new issues of the leading local Sc
curities at Berlin In order to make a mar
ket for them. The new rates are higher
than any on record for this class of Sc
curities in the history Of Germany.
One who watches stock market condi-
tons closely says that in his opinion the
upward movement in Union Pacific. South
ern Pacific and a few other leading issues
would have gone further except for the ef-
forts Of individuals to attract attention to
low priced specialties in both the railroad
and industrial list. He believes that q
healthy market can be brought about only
by the leading dividend shares being made
the most active anu the low priced non
dividend issues being allowed to remain In
the background. He thinks that when
powerful operators saw tendency to at
tract attention to the junior issues, they
withdrew their support from Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific and few other stocks,
and he believes they will do the same thing
whenever In the near future any gronp Of
spectators may try to bring about mar
keted9 activity I'M the low-priced and nom
diyidend-paytng shares. .-
