DUTY Of "Mop" Note Holders.

Undoubtedly it is the duty of the
Missouri Pacific noteholders to extend
their notes. They have nothing to gain
by opposing the present plan. Action on
their part designed to put the road into
receivership would be mistake. Mis-
souri, Pacific does not have to go broke
now. Immense improvement has been
brought about by the new management.
and the present brilliant crop prospect
means a great deal to the road at this
juncturc. Moreover. a railroad receiver
ship is no longer the comparatively easy
thing II was. Conditions arc altogether
different from tho days when II was
possible To obviate the necessity or In
creasing fixed charges by offering the
stockholders n carload OF paper in eN-
change for an assessment. Nowadays re-
ownership proceedings are to hc avoided
The Wabash situation IL an example,
even II an extreme one. of the difficulties
OF reorganiZirg n road under present con
ditions Of supervision by outside authorl-
ties one of the complications of the Wa
bash situation is the fact that no less
than six different railroad commissions
have to pass on the plan OF reorganization
before il can go through.

BIG NORTHERN PACIFIC LOAN.
Plans said 20 Ne Completed for
Large blanket Mortgage.

Directors of the Northern Pacific met
Yesterday and practically completed plans.
1t Is understood. for large refunding
blanket mortgage to provide for the needs
of the road over n considerable period.
No announcement was made of the plan.
Stockholders will be called In special
meeting on June ii to authorize the crea-
ton OF general refunding mortgage.
The company probably will not sell more
than s25. 100000 bonds under the mort
gage In the near future. II IL expected
that the mortgage will be completed In
time to provide funds to take care of the
81 100000 8 per cent. notes maturing

Mistakes Of the Past.

George Gould has always assumed a
paternalistic attitude toward the Missouri
Pacific system. II has been his proud
boast that for many years he has kept his
road from receivershp while other sys-
TENS like the Union Pacific. Northern
Pacific. Atchison and Reading one by one
went under But il il questioned now
whether the Missouri Pacific may not
have been saved from the very best thing
that could have happened to IL. Certainly
II the Missouri Pacific had gone through
the mill In 1895. for instance. when the
stock was selling around 10. the property
might he in better ease now. Instead OF
reorganization AT that time the road
was saved 10y being loaded down with
new issues of securities. u policy which
ls responsible for the present heavy bur
den of fixed charges. The relative po-
sit ons of the Missouri Pacific securities
and those of the roads mentioned above
which underwent drastic reorganization
many years ago is rather striking. II
IL worth while pointing out that the pre-
ferred stocks of some of these roads
were received 10y the stockholders In eN-
change for their assessment.

MISCELLANEOUS MARKETS.
Coffee Closes I Point Higher to 3
Points LOwcr-Raw sugar strong.

There was a slight broadening of specu-
latlve business In coffee yesterday, but
with sales Of only 1890 bags the market
could hardly he called active. At the close
rces were point higher to points lower.
or at the lowest Of the session. \ small
opening gain resulted from encouraging
Brazilian cables and frmness OF early
Hamburg and Havre cables. The Euro
pean markets. however. acted disappoint-
iugiy after the start and the local market
eased of in sympathy.
The Havre market opened unchanged
and closed !, to L, franc lower. Ham

and finished :, to - pfg. lower,
Rio No. was 70 r.is higher at 5S05o.

THE GRAIN MARKETS.
Wheat Closes Heavy-Corn and
Oats Also Lower.

The wheat market was dull and heavy
Tor the greater part of Yesterdays scs-
sion. Buying by the shorts held the Nav
position comparatively firm, but the new
crop positions were in fairly free supply,
ana these closed about isc. lower. For
eign news was less encouraging to the
bulls and Continental markets we're gem
orally lower. Liverpool was firm, how
eve, or the strong spot situation and
heaVy Continental demand. Less inquiry
was reported for Australian whea. and
RUSSIAN offers were larger. A heavy de-
crease in Brudstrcets visible was without
appreciable effect. Interior receipts sho wed
a substantial Increase and shipmspts were
lighter. Crop news was favorable In the
main. In the Northwest temperatures
continued too low for the best development
OF the crop. but no great concern ap-
peared TO be felt over their effect. In the
winter wheat belt the outlook remains
bright for crop OF unprecedented pro-
portions.
Corn displayed opening hrness, later de-
veloping heavy tone under profit taking
by the longs. Liverpool cables were lower
on private advices OF clearing weather In
Argentina. TIE early demand was due TO
unfavorable weather west and light re-
ceipts Cash markets were firm.
Oats followed the course OF other grains
and closed n shade lower. Favorable crop
accounts and prospect of heavier receipts
induced selling by the professionals.

States east Of the Rockies decreaseh

LondOn buying.

An important development OF the day
was The purchase of some 5000 shares In
This market b. london. This Is n small
AMOUNT. but the point Of the matter IL
That II recorded a distinct change In the
attitude OF London spectators. There
has been a moro or l.sss steady liquidation
proceeding from 'he other side Of the At
lantlc Tor lutte sore time. As n matter
OF fact .he market here has lately been
moro concerned over the liquid .tion from
abroad than any other single develop
ment. The more cheerful tone Of tinan-
cial sentiment abroad indicated in this
change was brought about by the absence
OF untoward happening at the settlement
now proceeding on the London exchange.
An uncomfortable II not augerous situa-
ton there was relieved b. the lending o:
help to n firm which found itself in diff!-
culties. Cable dispatches reported the In
cident "a follows: 1T was announced to-
day that syndicate had taken over the
accounts of an important issuing and
financial house which has been identified
mainly with Canadian securities. The

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


A turnover OF 116 700 shares represents
pretty nearly the minimum of activity on
the exchange. II was also sudden and
decided change from the average Of the
past few days and weeks. Considerable
curiosity was expressed over the causes
behind this new aspect of the stock mar
ket In the light OF the pronounced dull
ness the markets of the past few weeks
appeared more or less artificial In the
sense that the activity was probably
brought about simply by the shifting OF
their positions by limited number of
big operators rNtter than by any broad
change In the state OF .he speculative ac-
count. The return to dulncss was also
Interesting because OF a report that at
least seven Stock Exchange seats are
pressing for sale. II In some time since
the sale Of Stock Exchange seat took
place, and II there is anything In the
current rumor II may not he long be-
fore several transfers Of seats are an
nounced. The prices made ON these sales
ought to give an indication of Wall
Streets opinion Of the future OF Stock
Exchange business. as It is affected by
the extraordinary crop prospect and other
matters lately unfolded.
