THE MARKETS
NEW YORK STOCKS.


pf firmer market, which appeared
to be discernible in the early trading,
when gains extending to point in
u. Paul were established, the market
developed weakness and with the
course Of the day some sensational
,xtreme losses were sustained. The
downward movement started with
pronounced weakness in Southern rail-
way common and preferred and Erie,
which was accompanied by variety
Of alarming rumors, including un-
founded statements regarding the
health of a prominent capitalist iden-
tilted with both properties. Such ex-
IRENE losses were sustained as five
per cent in Southern railway prefer
red, 2 1-2 in Anaconda, Reading
Ia; st. Paul S-4, Delaware and Hud-
son and Amalgamated copper 8, Atch-
ison 3-8, Union Pacific 3 1A2, Erie 8,
and Great Northern preferred per
tent. Other losses ranged from / to
2 per cent. The market continued to
decline, without support on the down
ward movement heavy liquidation de-
veloped, the trading being twice as
large as that of yesterday. No atten-
ton was paid to ordinary influences
and the professional element operated
boldly, taking advantage of the pre-
calling uneasiness regarding rumors
of impending large new capital re-
Quirements by the railroads. A great
deal of stocks came out in Amalga-
mated copper, which was due to dis
couragement over dividend predtc
tions. The banks showed further
large gain in money and bids Ior time
funds were reduced to s 3-4 per cent,
the lowest figure in some months. For
obvious reasons an increase of one
per cent in the yearly dividend on
New York, Chicago and ST. Louis sec
ond preferred had no effect. There is
continued expectation of a reduction
tomorrow in the minimum rate of dis
count of the bank of England, al
though some prominent bankers ex-
pressed the opinion today that a re-
duction of the rate may be postponed
until next week There was some
abatement of selling pressure in the
last few minutes of business, but the
market closed nervous at only slight
fractional recoveries from the low
est. These reactions reflected mere
ly precaution on the part OF the short

meeting of the individual car own
ers Of the country will be held here
tomorrow. II Is alleged that certain
big individual car owners have been
lining up with the railroad Interests

iblnation of independent concerns
owning cars 10 the number OF about
10000. IL is to the advantage Of
some of the big private car owning
concerns and some railroads TO hold
the individual equipment just where
Il is and at the present disadvantage.
1t is hoped that as a result of to-
morrow's meeting a ruling may be
secured from the interstate COM
merce commission on the rights and
privileges OF individual car owners.
