How VIII the Cat Jump.

In the past two months some 400 900
shares of Missouri Pacific stock have
changed hands between 10 and 81. To
add that big speculative position on
both sides or the account exists In the
stock seems superhuous. Expectations
of decided rise or decided fall in
Mop" In the near future are almost uni
versal. Nobody expects the stock to stay
In Its present levels. The possibilities
or big change In the position of the
stock contained In the present crisis In
the company's AFFAIRS are overwhelming
There are number OF developments
which might happen almost any day that
would undoubtedly have decided effect
upon the market. The problem OF fore
seeing which way the cat viii jump IL
an unusually complicated one Specula-
tors have bought the stock widely. antic-
ipating big rise on the news of a pass
Ing of control of Kuhn Loeb interests
II has been sold short heavily on the
possibility OF break in these negotia-
lions. The bear interest is also figuring
that IL Kuhn. Loeb 8 Co. do take charge
one condition will be a big assessment
on the stock. There are still other spec
ulators waiting for the stock TO decline
on the news OF an assessment imposed
under these conditions and then go very
much higher.

Chcsapeake's Dividend,

Chesapeake and Ohio directors meet
to-day TO take action on the dividend
cut In the dividend has been rather
generally predicted on the idea that the
old policy Of building up the property
before paying dividends has been re-
stored That has seemed the most rea-
sonablc suppostion. Yesterday. how
ever, there were rumors that the action
of the directors will lac based solely on
the results OF operations for the twelve
months ended April |, which make a
dividend at the old rate possible. II IL
true that under the plan for rehnbllita-
ting the property the first appropriation
from earnings Of 100000 Is not required
to be made until August next. Under
normal market conditions n delay for an
other three months of a step considered
Inevitable would not have had any pro-
nounced effect. But the excited up and
down movements In the stock during the
past week or so point to the existence Of
an extended short interest. 1t Is possible
that speculators short OF the market are
uneasy lest the payment OF the usual
dividend provide an opportunity for a
demonstration against them, even though
they are convinced that In the long run
their position is the right one.

A Plausible Theory.

Expert opinion has held for some time
the Interstate Commerce Commission in
the advanced rate case will be favorable
TO the railroads, but that the form OF tho
decision IL not likely to cause an imme.
diate outburst of enthusiasm. In other
words II Is not anticipated that the rail-
roads Will be granted permission to put
into effect the higher tariffs filed by them
without qualification. The following in
teresting and plausible theory of the ac-
ton OF the commission Is offered by
Dow. Jones Il Co. as an opinion expressed
In railroad quarters:
The decision will place rates In three
divisions. In the first will be set certain
products rates on which may be increased
per cent. or more. as the railroads
choose. These products comprise those
loosely termed trust products on which
freight rates are held to be unnecessarily
low. In the second division will be set
certain class and commodity rates with
permission to raise the carrying charges
between and per cent. This can be-
accomplished in part by advancing certain
goods from lower to higher classes. on
commodities included In the third division
no rate advances will be allowed but on
the other hand certain reductions may bo
ordered Should the decision be along
these lines railroad people say II would h.
long time before any accurate calcula-
ton OF the benefits could be completed"

The NotehoIders' Choice.

There Is considerable diversity OF
opinion among Missouri Pacific notehold-
ers as To whether hey should respond to
the invitation OF the management to eX.
tend their notes One noteholdpr declares
privately that he does not intend TO de-
post despite the assertion OF the manage
ment that non-assentlng noteholders will
no; be paid Off. This man has his own rea-
sons for hope to the contrary He held
block OF tho Boston and Maine notes
extended last February and was one of
the few who held out. At the eleventh
hour he was able to sell his notes at par
to banking house. although the Boston
and Maine officials always denied they
had paid any notes OF. Another note.
holder says he intends to deposit his
notes. not with any d, sire to help the man
agement avoid the consequences of his
not doing so, but simply because he be-
lieves he Will better his own position
At present there is practically no mar
ket for the notes. He cannot get his
money out except at great sacrifice
The higher rate of Interest and the addi-
tional security pledged may provide a
fair market for the new notes, and he
is willing to take n chance of being able
to sell them at better price than he
could get for the old ones. At any rate
he will probably be in no worse posi-
ton. The weak spot In this argument IL
OF course. that great many people may
be working on the same theory.

Soft Coal Roads.

Especially keen interest IL felt over the
action TO be taken by the Interstate Com
merce Commission in respect to rates on
soft coal. In contrast to the case OF an
thracite IL has always been considered
that carrying charges on soft coal were
low out of all proportion a very large
percentage OF Baltimore and Ohio's traf-
fc Is derived from the movement OF BIZ
luminous coal over its lines and an in
significant increase In the rate on this
commodity would mean tremendous diff
ference in the Baltimore and Ohios rev
enues. The Chesapeake and Ohio and
Norfolk and Western would also benefit
materially from any change In this direc-
ton. Incidentally, II should he pointed out
that the strike In the Colorado fields has
given a smart hllp TO the present bust.
ness OF all the soft coal roads. The Bal
timore and Ohio serves the West Viz
ginia coal fields. where labor is not or
ganized, and the curtallment OF the out
put of the Colorado district is having a
marked effect upon the traffic derived from
this source.

OF the fly reports has caused many in the
trade to lower their estimates Of the win

perts expressed the opinion that the esti-
mate would have TO oe reduced to $780,
600, 600 bushels, or nearly 100000, 900
bushels less than indicated by the Gov

large number OF experienced traders

ports that over exaggerated conditions.
