STOCKS DULL AND
MOST IRREGULAR
During the Two Hours of Bust
ness on Exchange; Only In
tereSt is in Tobacco Shares.
Others Neglected
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, June 8.-Dullness and
irregularity which later turned 70
heaVineSS in certain issues, dominated
the two hours of business on the stock
Exchange today. The usual market
leaders were almost entirely neglect
ed. The only movements OF interest
were in the tobacco shares which
added materially TO their gains of the
preceding days of the week. Specu-
lative interest in these issues is SO
limited, however, that their sensa-
tional gains were Of little real signlh-
canoe. One of the independent to-
bacco companies which won a suit
against the American Tobacco Com
pany, today declared an extra" divi-
dend in addition to the regular dis
bursements.
The days news had little bearing
upon market quotations. Advlces
from Boston, limiting at the possibility
of a copper famine was accepted with
reservations and failed to find ref1ec-
ton in copper securities. Wall Street
seemed to be Of the opinion that the
recent advances in the metal were
based on something less tangible than
the law of supply ana demand and
was inclined to look aSkance at the
movement in these securities abroad.
Crop advices today did not disclose
any change in the generally far con-
ditiOns existing almOSt everywhere eX-
cept in some of the Central and Mid
die West States.
Bonds were dull.
United States Government As were
advanced "a per cent on the week.
Total sales Of stocks for the day
were 144,70O shares, including the
following: Chesapeake II Ohio, 800;
Louisville and Nashville, 700; Norfolk

TRAIN SERVICE DEMORALIZED
All Roads Having a Most Strenuous
Time Getting Trains Through.
THEATRICAL TROUPEs ARE LATE
Fail 10 Arrive In Time for the
Regular Sunday 1IatInees-serv-
fee is Daily Growing Worse
On All Lines.

Railroad service in the middle west and
the intermountaln country ia severely
crippled by the prolonged cold. Sunday
saw the situation become thoroughly
grave, and IL there is no moderation
within the next forty-elght hours the
service on all lines, it is feared, will be
completely demoralized
The crippled condition OF the railroads
means a like situation FOR the United
states Postoffice department and the ex-
press companies. The railway mail serv-
ice schedules have been partially shat
tered and the result has been. and for
some time win continue to be, delayed
mails.
Some trains coming into Omaha are
as much as twelve hours late and none
are on time. The Northwestern train
from Minneapolis, due here at 100 Sun
day morning, did not arrive until nearly
o'clock Sunday evening. The Milwaukee
train from Chicago, due in Omaha sun
day morning at $50, was twelve hours
late. The Milwaukee train from Chicago,
due Sunday at 9:12 a. m, did not reach
here until after 3 o'clock last night.
Two theatrical special trains, hired
every week by burlesdue companies play
ing the Krug and Gayety theater in
Omaha TO make the jump from Min
neapOlis here i'm time to play Sunday
matinees, did not arrive until 1870 y. m.
They were due at 9 a m. At the Krug
Manager FRANKIE organized an emergency
vaudeville company to keep the crowd in
good humor until the troupe arrived. The
burlesquers when they got here gave
their show in their street clothing. At
the Gayety no matinee afternoon show
was given.
Delayed trains prevented the arrival of
several Orpheum players until too late
for them to appear at the matinee. A
show was given with such players as had
reached the city.
Trains on all railroads were belated five
to ten hours by the cold and snow.
Union Pacific officials said their trains
suffered less than those from the north,
south and east, having cold. but not 50
much snow to combat. The Unien Pa
cific trains were two to ten hours late.
Several of the roads have abandoned
freight trains except for perishable goods
until the weather moderates.
