The loss to railroad revenue from 1OO-
coo 600 bushels shortage is computed by this
authority in this wise: "a crop of wheat like
that Of 1906 makes about $4,000 carloads to
be hauled to the markets; and the part of
the oats crop available for shipment
amounts to about 445O0O carloads-say
100000 carloads Of both. yielding approxi-
mately $40 car to the railways. From
the best available data we have estimated
the probable deficiency of wheat in the win
ter belt at 100000, 600 bushels and the loss
In the oats crop may amount to $40 600 600
bushels Assuming these estimates to be
correct, it appears that the loss of tonnage
to the railways might easily reach l4S,OOO
carloads of wheat and 10000 carloads of
oats. In dollars this loss would approxi-
mate $31 900, 600 In gross earnings or $455 q
mile of track in the states included in the
figures. When 1t is considered that sass a
mile Is more than a quarter of the average
net earnings per mile of the railways OF the
whole country, the magnitude of the pos
sible loss becomes very clear. We must
add that so large a reduction in tonnage
implies considerable saving in train and
engine mileage, fuel, labor, wear and tear,

FURRY IN GRAIN EXCHANGE

NEW YORK. May 1S.-The attention of
operators in stocks today was turned ap-
parently from the wheat market and was
diverted to troubles more nearly concerning
itself The trouble of mind was due mostly
to rumors and to differences drawn from
underlined reports rather than to actual de-
velopments Prospects of additional note
issues seem to bear heavily on the specula-
tive mind. and unconfrmed rumors were
afioat of some incurston into this field by
Industrial corporations of the first class,
where railroads hitherto have been the
largest seekers of accommodation. Infer
ences were drawn from the report that New
York Central interests were about to with
draw from the directorate of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, which were hurtful to that
stock and by sympathy to the general mar
ket.
Some friction between New York Central
and PENNSYLVANIA interests was implied In
the Tumors current on tins transaction. An
other center of depression the stocks

there was no clear explanation beyond the
old subject of the pending public utilities
bill at Albany The fall in prices of stocks
was in progress While wheat was reacting
sharply In response to profit taking on the

favorable, presented unexpected fea-
lures, the cash increase conforming closely
to the preliminary estimates, and the small
loan contraction helping to strengthen the
position of the banks.
Active developments in the foreign eX-

The stock market in New York has been
In an almost torpid state this week in
common with the securities markets ut all
the great money centers. Elements of I'M
certainty in the financial and industrial
outlook serve to keep down speculative
activity, and the investment demand is not
sufficient to make any impression on
prices. The professional trading clement
have the market practically to themselves,
and they follow an opportunist policy, seiz
Ing on any special development to take Il
position, in the hope that it is the. herald of
some outside activity in stocks. These
and the temporary fluctuations in prices
have been sluggish and inconstant in con-
sequence.
momentary sensation was caused in
the middle of the week by the publication
of an alleged abstract of the intended re-
port of the interstate commerce commits
sion on the Hartman railroad combina-
tion, embodying the material gathered in
the recent investigation The bears sold
stocks on the appearance of this report,
and then rebought to cover short contracts.
The incident failed to awaken any general
interest in the market either because the
authenticity of the reports was questioned
or because the substance Of them was not
different from differences that had been
drawn at the time of the Hartman investi-
cation. and which had prompted the ap-
propriate action in the stock market at the
time.

London Market Affected.

The London market is affected in the
same way. successive new issues serving
TO depress older securities, including con-
sols which have receded to near the low
level for recent times. The congestion of
capital issues and the sluggishness of their
absorption are thus plainly evident, in
spite of the apparent ease of the money
markets. Money markets in fact, have IN
clined to harden, and loans on ordinary
collateral for the longer periods have ad-
vanced appreciably.
The halt in the securities markets is in
volved to some extent. of course, with the
uncertainties over the years crops That
a considerable shortage viii be shown in
the years wheat crop seems assured. The
active speculation which has resulted In
the grain markets has diverted a large
amount of the habitual speculative activity
from securities to grain, and cotton also
has absorbed its share OF this interest
The bearing of the wheat shortage on this
country's prospects. however, is not yet
defined, and this accounts for the varying
effect of the fiuctuation of wheat on stocks.

One Of the Restraining Influences.

The incident served however, TO revive
the consideration of the further activities
which are to be expected of the national
administration in the prosecution of cor
poration abuses and in seeking additional
control over corporation affairs. This pros
pect is one of the restraining elements on
activity. and it's revived consideration prob
ably served to intensity the dullness.
But the present universal prostration Of
demand for securities makes it evident that
some more general cause lies at the root of
the present inaction. The course of events
indicates that the question of an adequate
supply of liquid capital to supply the re-
quirements for plans of extension of enter
prises, together with the active needs of
trade activity, is still unsolved to the sat
isfaction Of the financial community. There
is a general feeling that the present COM
partly Elusive and Is dependent upon the
Withholding of demands for new capital,
which are ready to come forward on any
favorable opportunity.
The Union Pacific financial plan was fol-
lowed this week by the announcement of
the Delaware and Hudson equipment note
issue and the General Electric convertible
bond issue. and by limitations of a plan
for additional capital by the Chesapeake
and Ohio. The underwriting OF the Union
Pacific convertible bond issue has not
awaited to check a downward tendency in
the quotations for the new securities when
issued. which dealt In on the curb
market. The depressing effect extends also
TO other and older securities which are
overshadowed by the advantages offered
by newer issues. The heaviness and leth-
argy of the bond market is ascribed to the
effect of the newer issues and the prospect
of ST others
