tion of a dominant interest. in the Bos- ton and Maine by the NeHTYork, New Haven and Hartford was cOnfrmatory of what has been generally believed for some time past. The incident had some stimulating effect on speculative sentiment as an evidence of a stirring from the lethargy into which all ac- tivities of the kind have sunk since the dearth of capital resources has put a check to enterprise. Much was heard of the sound conditions in the iron and steel trade. The average increase of net earnings for April of all railroads reporting thus far shows percentage of more than compared with last year. The New York utilities moved up- wards in spite of the final act in the enactment of the public utilities law at Albany. Another drop in the London price of copper did not preclude the copper stocks from sharing in the days rise here. When the traders came to attempt to take profits prices yielded rather easily as their own buying had been principally responsible for putting prices up.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Transactions Carrying Prices Upward
 Limited In Amount.

New York, June 6.--The transactions which carried prices of stocks upwards in todays market were limited in amount and were believed to be from professional sources almost entirely. To-days rise was due in large part to the positive assertions contained in Washington advices that a determlna- tion had beeen reached after consulta- ton among members of the adminis
 tration to refrain from an active pur- suit of the Hartmann railroad com bination because of fear that the general situation might be imperiled by such a course This was the same re- port that emanated from Washington Tuesday, with the effect of pulling up prices. Yesterday stocks fell on the announcement from Washington that 1t was intended to proceed against MT. Hartman to compel an answer to ques- tions which he refused to answer be- fore the interstate commerce commits sion. The inference might be that op- orators in stocks attribute great irh- portance to the governments course but the inference is equally strong that correct information as to what that course will be is far from being generally known. Nothing occurred during the day to change the condi- tions fixing values. The retirement from the Chicago & Altoona director ate of a friend of the Hartman inter- ests revived some discussion of the Supposition long held in the financial f,,io Iaf fbat interest and the present control of the Alton. This discussion, however, did not interfere with the strength of both the Hartman and the Rock Island stocks. The admission of the absorp-

tie better tone than usual and was quite steady, with advances until mid day. After that prices eased off a lit- tie, due to profttaking. The street evinced g little increase of courage, and liquidation for the time ceased. It was good opinion, however, that the mar ket is not ready yet for an advance, if there is ever to be one.
 The increase in the dividend rate on two industrial shares has made a bet ter feeling in regard to the business outlook. Inasmuch as they are able to do so, it has been suggested that some of the railroad companies whose earn ings have been steadily rising might follow suit. There were, at least, ru- mors of larger disbursements, especial ly in the case of Reading.
 There were several good reports as to railroad earnings. Great Northern in May gained million and a quarter. The Southern Pacific April gross rose $1,671,0O0, but operating expenses ab- sorbed all of it, with the cost rising to n per cent, against 66 last year. The New York Central gross gain was S1,- 14O,OOO, and over $2,OOOOOO for the en- tire system. Kansas and Texas and Southern railway made satisfactory statements. Altogether there is noth- ing in the traffic returns of the trans portation lines to indicate recession in trade.
 Late in the day news came of the declaration of the per cent. annual dividend on Ontario and Western, which was selling around S4, a low price for a per cent. stock.
 Directors of the Interborough-Metro politan company yesterday declared the regular quarterly dividend of 11-4 per cent on the preferred stock of the company. On the announcement the price of the stock on the stock ex- change ran up points, to 49. The dividend declared on Wednesday was on the Interborough Rapid Transit stock It is doubtful if any outside buying was induced by this news, in NlSW OL lllG tOllllONCloS III LlAC Aliioll cial district in regard to the merits of paying dividends. That a per cent stock should sell below 50 was regard ed as somewhat anomalous, if there is prospect of its continuance.
 The cotton market was unsettled throughout, and wheat advanced be- fore the close on fresh crop damage re- ports.
 Speculative buying carried Reading above 1OS. It was claimed by those who have watched it that there were stop-loss orders in quantity at IDA and 1O5. The days tip was price of 1O6 Manipulation is based on the rumor oi an increase in the dividend from to per cent,

HOW TO ALLAY
ANXIETY

Obviously, then, the thing for the
railroad men to do is to get into con-
sultotion. not with the White House,
but with themselves; to get into a
consultation over what can be done
to drive out the Harrimans. to stop
the footing of properties like the Al
ton, to end the bogus capitallzing of
roads. to squeeze out the last drop OF
speculative tendency in railroad man
agement, TO observe the law as long
as 1t is law. and to admit the public
interest into the conduct OF the roads
and the making of rates as legiti-
mate concern. This is the way "t,

HARTMAN MAKES
DISCLAIMER
SAYS COMBINATION OF MEN AMI
CIRCUMSTANCES CAUSED
STOCK SLUMP.

New York. March 2O.-E. II. Har-
riman president of the Union Pa
cific system, returned to this city to-
day from Virginia. When seen at
his Office today he said, in reply TO
the question whether business OF an
urgent nature had called him back
mo; | returned here because the
muddy roads down in Virginia made
enjoyment impossible What do
think of the financial situation? !
believe it is going to improve from
now on.
THE decline i'm the stock market
was due to a combination OF circum-
stances-a combination OF men and
circumstances. Some Of those men
have made a lot of money as re
suit, but | don't think it will do
them much good in the end"
Mr.. Hartman laughed at the re-
port that during the recent liquida
ton of stocks the Union Pacific had
disposed of large quantities of its
stockholdings in other railway prop
critics He said there was no founda-
ton whatever for the story His
attention was then called to a dis
patch from the City Of Mexico 10 the
effect that negotiations were said 20
be under way between Epes Ran
dolph, the Southern Pacific's repre-
sentative in Mexico and the South
west, and Col. w. c. Greene for the
purchase OF the Rio Grande. Sierra
Madre and Pacific Railway.
Mr.. Hartman would not denv that
such negotiations were under way.
but contented himself with SAVING
that Mr.. Randolph was very busy
man.
The Rio Grande. Sierra Madre and
Pacific railway runs from El Paso.
Texas, TO Terrazas, Mexico n dis
tance Of 1876 miles At El Paso Il
makes connection with the South
ern Pacific railway, and would prove
a servicable connecting link with. the
line the Southern Pacific is con
structing along the west coast OF
Mexico, where that system has an
extensive development program un-
der way
The Rio Grande owns the El Pasc
Southern railway. which has termi-
nails at FL Paso and a bridge over
the Rio Grande at that city. All
the company's stocks and bonds were
sold in December, 1904, to interests
identified with the Greene Console
dated Cooper Company and a new
management was installed Colonel
Greene, who is president OF the
roads now in Mexico and during his
absence none of the other directors
of the property were able to give ang
information regarding the deal.
The road has issued $312O.OOO i'm
stock and 100000 in first mort
gage 6 per cent bonds, which are
authorized at the rate of 100000
a mile. An extension of 1870 miles
from Terrazas to Deidrich was an
der construction, but work on this
project was suspended I'm June. 1905.
