Stocks dropped again yesterday to a lower level led by New York Central.

Much was made of New York Gen. trars 90 per cent. operating expenses in March due largely to higher wages; of the possibility of new capital, either notes or high interest bonds, by the Union Pacific; of the rather tense financial position of the Delaware and Hudson on account of the $5,oO0,OOO notes maturing week hence; the inn position of lower freight and passenger rates by several western states, and the steady loss of cash by the banks, augmented by $1,5Oo,OoO sent this week to San Francisco, that contributed to the pessinistic sentiment Undoubt- edly, too, the local weather conditions had strong psychological effect on speculative opinion.

Some days of late Union Pacific, Reading and Amalgamated Copper have absorbed 70 per cent. of the total business. Since the end of March the transactions in them have been 13,5OO,- GOO shares of a total of 2SOOO,O00, or nearly 50 per cent.

All of the operations yesterday were clearly professional. Outsiders were not participating.

Several of the smaller operators were credited with attacking stocks yester- day and, in fact, contributing to many of the offerings. Probably third of the total was made up of their trans actions. It marked a resumption of bear attack which temporarily ceased last month.

Liquidation of block of Delaware and Hudson gave the professional ele- ment a chance to make raid on the stock and unsettle confidence. It was reported and denied that some of the shares from the Wilcox estate were be- ing sold.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1907-05-08

There were declines in the early trad ing of 2 points in Union Pacific and Reading, and 1 or thereabouts in Northern Pacific, New York Central, Interborough, Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Amalgamated Copper In the lat ter market the greater part of these losses was recovered possibly because of the decline in wheat. Taken as a whole. the market could hardly be de- scribed except as unsettled.

Some of the old bulls on Union Pa cific were sellers of it yesterday. A large number of professionals offered it down to 145. A conservative banker expressed himself quite bearishly on the stock yesterday, and said it would be a long while before confidence in 1t was restored.
 The Boston market was narrow and dull yesterday, with an easy tone, bU, small price changes.
 The increase in Great Northern gross in April was $750,64O; net results not yet given.
 The small bulls complained that the

The trouble seems to be that the road Is duplicating the New York Central in large charges and its costs of opera tions, and that the 10 per cent. rise in wages and a per cent. increase in div idends, making total advance in costs of $5,OOO,OOO or $6,OO0,000, is hurting the investment position.

The stock market during the last hour was an exceedingly dull affair. Prices were bid up as much as a point in some issues, perhaps with view to trying to force short-covering. Atch- ison, Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and Delaware and Hudson showed the sharp recoveries. It looked as if there was not much floating stock in sight.

Lightning Flashes.

Lightning flashes in a storm are
found by an English observer to be
much less irregular in period than they
appear. Such storms have usually two
foci, sometimes three, from which the
flashes radiate, and the discharges from
each come at regular intervals. The
apparent lrreguIarlty is due to the
varying rates Of the different centers.
In one storm noticed the two foci were
about a mile and a half apart, and In
an hour the northern center emitted
thirty flashes at intervals Of fifteen,
thirty, forty-five, sixty and ninety sec
onds, and the southern center gave six
teen flashes at intervals of seventeen,
thirty-four and fifty-one seconds. An
other unexplained observation is that
just before each great flash there is
a momentary faint lighting up Of the
sky In the stormy region.

Sin greeting the members of the

and showing them through his labor
atories and manufacturing plants at
Orange, N. j., Thomas A. Edison
made these statements:
"He showed his visitors a big
model of a three story house.
L have New York architects
working on the plans of that he
said. and I'm ready to begin on it
myself. In fact, | already have made
the molds for the window castings.

a house within twelve hours 1T an
expense of $1,000, and the man who
lahors on it will know that it was
built on his basis OF wage-S1.50
a day.
4" What I am going to inaugurate'
he said, is this. am going to fash
ion cast iron molds for the entire
house. This outfit will cost 100000
for a'house of this design. All the
builders will have to do is to put
it up and pour in the concrete. Then
they will allow six days for settling
and drying and the family may move
in. The cast iron mold of that house
may be used on countless other
buildings.
i" The economic value of this
rests, for one instance, in that the
house will never be in need of re-
pair. The roof and floors will be of
concrete; the conefate will be made
on the site; there II be no fire in
surance; as anotl instance of its
saving value, the III who owns
the house can let 5 children hack
at it with hatchets ID axes and lose
nothing. There will be no wood in
1t save for a strip upon which car
pets may be tackled.
All of the more recent struc-
lures in the gronp of laboratories
of Mr.. Edison's plant are of cement
made by him.

Sheriff Trathen returned from
Rapid City Monday evening with
Frank Cistac who UP to that morning
conducted the White cafe on Maip
street. Cistac appeared to be doing
a fairly good business but took a sud-
den notion to decamp and leave some
bills unpaid His rent was paid up
to Saturday but the butcher, Gus
Keller, had $50 coming and the wait
or girls and dish washer were shy

Cistac and his wife decamped with
a few trunks on the Pierre train Mon
day morning and got off at Rapid
City. The sheriff Of that place was
notified and had no difficulty in ar
resting his man; in fact Cistac made
attempt to conceal himself. At
the time OF his arrest he trip to slip
a roll containing $50 to his wife, but
the sheriff got possession of it. The
warrant sworn out here for his ar
rest charges him with an attempt to
defraud creditors.
