=. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings In All
- The Leading Stocks.

New York, Sept. 29.-The tendency OF
prices to settle TO dead level was still
further manifest liz the stock market to-
day. The professionals confined them
selves to what they call in and out opera
tions. Trading became exceedingly dull
as showing of prices diminished and Of
'fered less attraction for those in and out
dealings. There were intervals OF several
minutes during the afternoon when no
transaction was reported from the floor of
the Stock Exchange. The Stagnant condi-
ton convinced the doubtful ones that the
wealthy capitalists who We're credited
with responsibility for the activity of the
summer dealings were abstaining from
dealing in stocks for the present. This
fact constituted the news of the market.
Nothing else received much attention, nor
was there anything in fact which seemed
TO merit. Published reports that f.. H.
Hartman had been in consultation with "A
medical specialist We're seized upon by the
room traders in an attempt to make food
for a speculative movement. The small
effect produced was evidence of the lack
Of basis for reports of serious impair
ment of Mr., Harriman's condition. That
the sustaining force OF the stock mar
ket during much of the summer has CEN
tered in the power IF the Hartman
name there can be no doubt. So much
was this the case that disquieting con-
sfdGratiDns .of how much rested on the
welfare of one, life often crept into the
market discussion.
Some repressive influence on the specu-
lation was ascrihable to the prepara-
tons f0r the quarterly disbursements or
the first of October which are estimated
to require about $15OGOO,0G0. Money rates
were shade firmer on this account but
no actual pressure on the stock market
resulted. The surplus reserve of the
banks remains of such really unwieldly
proportions as to leave no present room
for actual money market disturbance.
The cool wave was still ignored in the
grain markets and so was without effect
on stocks. The break in Westinghouse
Electric was due to the reservations
which still obtrude on the proposed re-
organization plan. Net price changes as
shown at the end of the day are almost
negligible.
Ponds were heavy. Total sales, par
value, 81, OBS 600. United States bonds We're
unchanged on call.

several months, nearly zoo mixers and
springers being offered at the sale. The

than week ago. More buyers were
about the barns, but they were quick
to take advantage of the excessive
supply and held off, hoping to materi-

grades were represented from the
highly bred registered Ayrshire, sell

to the ordinary mixer that dealers
were glad to close out at $18G$20.
A much heavier amount of beef cat
tie than usual was offered. The de-
mand was slack and prices were a
shade lower than those held on the
preceding day. While few good oxen
and steers were noted the bulk of the
offerings consisted of medium and or

mated that 100000 will be required
to procure equipment enough to ham
die expeditiously all the traffic origin
ating on both roads. In other words.
the two roads between them require
$20.000.000 expended at once.
As single track road the Wheeling
Lake Erie has been able to earn
$13,850 mile gross. B. A. Worthing-
ton. the receiver, has made the state
ment that these earnings can be dou-
bled almost at once If the road is
double tracked and properly equipped.
In this same connection 1t is claimed
that the Wabash-Pittsburg Terminal is
greatly overcapitalized, and as step
preliminary to the raising of any new
capital there must be a radical scaling
down of its securities. 1t is then pro-
posed that the two roads under con-
sideration be consolidated and oper-
ated as one company. 1t is further
suggested that both might with profit
be merged in the Wabash.

BRIsTow's TRYING CAMPAIGN.
Lost on the Prairies of Western Kan
sas Driving to His Meetings.

Salina. Kan, June 30.-General ]. L.
BriStow has returned from western
Kansas where he spent week in the
Sixth and 1t proved to be the hardest
week he has had during his campaign.
However. he had good audiences at
each of his meetings. The irregularity
to the train service due to the bad
condition of the railroad tracks, caused
him to spend the most of the night at
railway stations waiting for trains and
necessitated a great deal of driving. In
order to make his meeting on Saturday
and fill other engagements he was
compelled to drive a hundred miles
over the prairie which he did.
He had a peculiar experience Satur-
day night. He left Colby at o'clock
Friday night for Oakley. While on the
road a rainstorm came up and 1t be-
came intensely dark. The driver be-
came lost and it was almost O'Clock
in the morning when he reached Oak
ley.
Mr.. Bristow is now preparing
speech which he will deliver at Wichi-
ia in the near future In this speech
he will discuss Senator Longs record
as explained in his Emporia speech.
and will also have something to say
about the senator's alleged relation to
the Chicago platform.
Mr. Bristow is more encouraged than
at any time during his campaign and
his confidence in his success at the prf-
mary election in August is growing
daily.

ANOTHER NEW ROAD.
VIII Extend Southeast From Okla
hOma City.

Oklahoma City. Okla, June 30
Another railroad Is to build out of
Oklahoma City toward Old Mexico
tapping the country in Oklahoma al
most directly south for a distance of
more than 100 miles, crossing the Red
river in the vicinity of Waurika, Okla,
and Byars, Tex. 1t is announced that
definite arrangements have been made
to make the first division point out of
Oklahoma City at Waurika-
While the NJ. K. & T. railway OFF,
Gals have been operating the pro-
motion and have made offers to Wau-
rika for q bonus In lieu of the ex-
pense necessary for establishing ter
minal point at that place, it is thought
that the numerous trips of other rail-
road officials into Oklahoma City and
toward the south have had to do with
the new road. Santa Fe, Rock Island
and Frisco managers, assistant mana
gers and representatives of both have
made weekly visits to Oklahoma City
with cold storage explanations that
they were inspecting the lines"
The proposed line would enter a
practically new field. securing a
patronage to Oklahoma City from a
portion of Cleveland, eastern and
southern Grady, western McClain,
Stephens, Jefferson and a portion Of
Carver counties. The belt is one of
the most fertile and wealthy in the
entire state, and a vast era is with
out railroad facilities, although some
of the most thriving communities of
the southwest are included in the ter
ritory, which presumably will be en-
tered.
Railroad officials are not discussing
the matter at this time, aveTring that
floods, panies and the alleged DISPOSE
ton of legislatures and corporation
commissions have thrown a damper
upon the ardour of foreign capital
and corporate interests developing
and investing in Oklahoma. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that the Oklahoma
City Waurika-Old Mexico extension
construction will begin not later than
next fall.

DOUBLE TRACK LINE.
First Improvement for Wabash-Pitts-
burg Terminal.

New York, June 30.-Those in
charge of untangling the financial af-
fairs of. the Wabash Pittsburg Ter
minal and the Wheeling & Lake Erie
important step to be taken is the pro-
curing of the means wherewith to
double track both and furnish them
with sufficient equipment to meet traf-
fic necessities.
In regard to the Wabash-Pittsburg
Terminal. sixty-one miles of track are
to be doubled. This distance is all
graded for the second track. and II is
estimated that all that would be re-
quired to complete the work would be
about 100000
The double tracking of the Wheel
ing & Lake Erie appears to be some
what more formidable undertaking
The estimate placed on the amount
needed to carry out the work is $10,-

Hays Citizens Send Car of Shale to
Denver to Be Tested.

Hays. Kan. June 30.-A car load of
shale from the Barnes farm, north of
this city. was sent to Denver this
week, where an assay will be made.
A short time ago while making an ex-
cavation on this ranch workmen found
shale that contained what appeared
to be gold and an investigation
strengthened the belief A company
was formed at once and the shipment
of the car load to Denver is the result.
If the assay shows that the shale con-
tains gold in sufficient quantities to
make it of commercial value a mill
will be erected north of town at once
by the company. The members of the
company are enthusiastic over the
outlook and believe they have a for
tune coming.
