Tran.pertstion share. Firm.

Transportation shares held firm and
gained fractionally in yesterdays mar
kct. Much interest In railroad and
banking circles attaches to the Interstate
Commerce Commissions decision on
freight rates. which is expected daily.
Although little. II any. intimation az to
lits tenor has been received, the prevailing
opinion seems to be that the commission
will find that no general downward re-
vision of rates would be justified without
compensating reductions in labor costs.

cent, Will be made on coal, iron ore.

reduction in wages will be announced in

that the board will grant cut OF or

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
Freerort-rexas Heavily bought

Buying Of Freeport-Texas shares In
tremendous volume In the first hour OF
yesterdays trading resulted in a sharp
upturn for that stock to q new high for
this year at 1874. Many reports con-
corning this buying were current. but
the one most credited was that the ac-
cumulation represented belated recogni-
ton OF the value to the company of it's
recent contract with the Texas Com
pany, under which it will carry on active
development work OF the latter's Hos
kins Mound sulphur properties. Total
trading in the stock amounted yesterday
to more than 81, 900 shares, or almost 20
per cent of the total amount of 1t out
standing. The Freeport is to retain half
the profits from sulphur produced after
operating charges until its profits shall
have amounted to the cost OF the in
stallation Of it's new sulphur extraction
plant. The Texas Company's engineers
have estimated the sulphur content Of
themound at around 5000. 600 tons.

stock Exchange seats.

The report that the New York Stock
EXCHANGE was planning to increase the
limit of its memberships by fifty was
denied yesterday in official quarters.
THAT rumor has gained circulation IN

cause OF the tremendous increase in
the number Of listed securities In the
last few years. Brokers, It was, said
were finding extreme difficulty in
handling their business IN the enor-
mously Increased stock list. The Ex-
