BUT LITTLE ACTIVITY IN STOCKS
AND SLIGHT RECESSIONS
IN VALUES.

NEW YORK, Oct. LIT was another
slow. annoying market In that it did
not have much Of trend in either
ference as the chief feature.
Spectators have endeavored to give
the market an appearance Of strength
by boosting first one speciality and then
another. Western Union was taken up
the other day and the general list took
no notice of the action. Again Louis
vile and Nashville was given boost OF
Z or points. but the effect SO far as
the market was concerned was nil. This
morning Rubber was given fresh impe-
tus for rise, but it was also without
effect.
In times past the turn of this kind
in a speciality was of sufficient impor-
lance to have advanced the general list
from fraction to better than a point
But this market is not responding Just
now to anything. It is waiting for
something of more Importance than
anything that any group Of spectators
can put across.
Just how long II will have to wait
to discover whether business can be re-
sumed without fear OF maltreatrnent,
investigation, and aggressive legislation,
remains to be seen. 1t would seem as
If all classes from the capitalists to the
lahorer would get together some day
lawmakers for the removal of tho
hindrances to the successful prosecu-
ton of business.

The seventeenth annual report of the
Southern Railway Company covers the
year ending June 30. 1911. Gross oper-
ating revenue, $50, 345, 062, and gross ex-

nue., sis, 41S272 an increase over the net
of 1910 of S259,510. Taxes were 2,212, 967.
The rise in preferred stock was due
to this paragraph in the report, or rath-
er primarily to the fact that earnings
warranted this:
''It was considered that as a fair rec
ognition under all the circumstances of
the Just expectations of the holders Of
its preferred stock, who had received
dividends for a series Of years until the
conditions which eliminated in the
financial panic in the fall Of 1907 and the
subsequent business depression necessi-
proportion of the company's cash re-
sources could properly be devoted to
the payment of dividends. 1t Is the ex-
pectation of the board OF directors that
with a continuance Of favorable condl-
lions the rate of dividend may gradu-
can again be properly paid"
Declines of a small fractional order
were general. Reading was weak and
of a full point.
