L 1 A SUPREME COURT LEAK ENABLES PROFESSIONALS TO MANIPULATE STOCK MARKET. ♦ Decision in Intemtate-Coinnterce Cane Dooms Railway*— Loeal Marketi Under the "Weather.

At New York yesterday money on call was easy at per cent.; last loan, JVa per cent.; closed, 1*4@1% per cent. Prime mercantile paper, per cent. Sterling exchange was easy, with actual business In bankers’ bills at for demand and at [email protected]% for sixty days; posted rates, $1.87(&4.88Vi; commercial bills, $4.85. The New York Tribune says: “Money lies in abundance at this center, but there is no demand for it; at least, the demand is too small to have appreciable influence on bank holdings, and the constantly increasing deposits and stagnation in loans have led bankers to discuss the question of further bank consolidation on lines similar to those entered on by the Third National Bank and the National City Bank. Under existing conditions* many banks serve only as storehouses for money, without enough loans to make the business profitable.” Silver certificates, 60*44?60%c; Mexican dollars, 47 r, ic. At London bar silver clo-sed ilat at 27%d per ounce. Total sales of stocks were 160,816 shares, Including: American Sugar, 5,700; Burlington & Quincy, 35,000; Manhattan Consolidated, 3,200; Northern Pacific preferred, 3,3to; Omaha, 3,700; Hock Island, 5,300; St. Paul, 20,100; Western Union, 3,500; New Jersey Central, 27,000. Yesterday's rally on the New York stock r arket was attributable to the decision of the Supreme Court in the interstate-com-merce case. Tne market had derived strength last week on rumors regarding this decision, but it sold off again this morning before the decision was announced on account of doubt being thrown on the reliability of last week’s information. In all the early dealings the hand of the professional trader was plainly evident. The morning was giv-m over to depression on account of reports that the Nebraska maximum freight-rate case would not be decided by the Supreme Court until fall, the decision in the interstate commerce being also in doubt. It is an illustration of the inconsistency and of the professional traders working for a short turn in the market that In the upward movement that resulted on the decision of the interstatecommerce case, tho postponement of the Nebraska case was offered as a bull argument on the ground that the lower court’s injunction stands and will stand until the decision of the court in October. It is also pointed out that the special session of the .Nebraska Legislature to correct the law, which was in contemplation in event of its Validity being denied, will now be avoided. The gold shipments announced for to-day, amounting to $2,400,001), also had a depressing influence in the early trading, as the amount exceeded considerably what had been anticipated. There was also news of further shipments in contemplation for later in the week. The sensitiveness shown by the exchange market to the offer of bills against the gold offset, to some extent, the bad effect of the export. Lower prices in London also had its influence on the early heaviness, and the renewed attack on New Jersey Central affected the market to some extent. Quite an unwonted degree of buoyancy and animation was imparted to the market by the Supreme Court's interstate-commerce decision. This is regarded as the most important decision in its effects on railroad values since the transmissouri decision. Part of the strength imparted to railroad stocks by this decision is due to a belief that it will serve to hasten the enactment of a law by Congress to authorize pooling, with the required approval of the Inter-state-commerce Commission, of any such agreement to make it binding. The early heaviness had carried down pretty much the whole market, the decline extending to I** in Burlington, which was the loader of the market in point of activity. This stock also derived the greatest benefit from the rally, the gain being 2% per cent. The following stocks also rose a point or more from the earljer low prices: Atehisoh preferred, C., C., C. & St. L., St. Paul, Rock Island, Omaha, Luke Shore, L. £ N.. Manhattan, Northern Pacific preferred, No-folk it Western preferred, Western I’nion, Leather preferred, Sugar, Tobacco and General Electric. New Jersey Central declined l*- in the early depression, but gained 3% on the covering movement. Delaware & Hudson rising IV2 in sympathy. American Spirits lost I**“ on the day. Chicago Gas was quite erratic, but gained a sharp net fraction. The closing was strong and buoyant and generally at top prices. The bond market ruled moderately active, with a tendency towards higher prices, which became quite marked in the closing dialings among a few speculative issues. The gains generally <Ud not exceed fractional limits, with Atchison adjustment fi urs conspicuous for it gain of 1 per cent. The sales were $843,000. Government bonds were dull, but showed strength in late dealings. The following table, preiWred by L. \V. Louts.

Trade Qniet Under Unfavorable Weather Conditions—Prices Steady. Frequent rains and cool temperature are hurting May trade. Dry goods houses, milliners and hat and cap merchants are suffering most. Grocers; druggists, hardware men and leather dealers have less grounds for complaint, in fact these four lines are doing a good business. On Commission row, as usual on Monday, it was rather quiet, with prices ranging much the same as for several days past. Poultry rules easy at quotations on large receipts. Large young chickens, however, are in good request at quotations. Receipts of eggs are not as large and prices firmer. Butter is plentiful and week. The provision market rules active and prices steady, with the outlook better. Seed merchants are having a fair business at steady prices. The new clip of wool is coming in slowly and prices steady at quotations.

GREAT CROP PROMISED WHEAT STARTED STRONG, TURNED WEAK AND DECLINED B-4C. Other Speculative Market* at Chicago Were Without Feature, and Closed Without Chauge. ♦ CHICAGO, May 24.—After an advance of %c wheat turned weak to-day and closed at 34c decline. Confidence that the coming crop would l>e an immense one was the prime factor in the liquidation which caused the decline. Other speculative markets were without special feature or material change in prices. Wheat during the morning kept the advance going which was under way as Saturday’s session came to an end. July, which closed Saturday at 72c, started with buyers at from that up to 72%c and for about an hour and a half 72c was the lowest. It rose to i2%c before it had any serious setback. By 11:30 o'clock it had declined to 71%c. Before noon it had advanced again to 74i 4 c. French situation was the trump card when the bulls were leading and the fine prospects for the home spring wheat crop and such of the winter wheat as had not been killed outright were good cards the bears made the utmost possible use of. The statistics of the weekly and daily movement were for the most part bearish. Northwestern receipts were 621 cars, compared with 550 ears Monday of last week and 593 a year ago. World’s shipments for the week to Europe were 7,168,0)0 bu and amount on ocean passage increased 1,520,000 bu. Chicago receipts were six carloads and 276,090 bu were withdrawn from store. The home visible decreased 1,441,000 bu, or about 600,000 bu less than had generally been looked for. The quantity visible now is only 28,296,000 bu. The foreign markets were strong. Liverpool started at *%d advance and added another Vzd. The market hung around 72c for nearly an hour, but became very weak toward the end. There was an almost total lack of shipping uemand. This and confidence that the coming domestic crop will Jiv at least 100,000,000 bu more than that of last year gave the bears confidence to press their sales and the market, once started, declined very rapidly. The closing price for July was 71*4c bid. Corn was steady within a narrow range. Receipts were heavy and weather favorable, but the strength of wheat, while it lasted, served to sustain prices. The market eased off, however, when wheat made its final break., July opened unchanged at 24*%ft24%c, declined to 24%@24*%c, and closed at 24*/2C. Oats were steady considering the large local receipts and still larger estimates for to-morrow. The market was quiet, trading keeping within a %c range. There was a fair shipping demand. July opened %c higher at 18c, declined to 17%@17%c and closed at 1754 c bid. Provisions were heavy early in the day on the heavy run of hogs, but before the close had recovered nearly all of the decline. Packers bought generally on the breaks and were the chief support of the market. At the close July pork was a shade lower at $8.17%@8.20; July lard 5c lower at s3.7s<£t July ribs unchanged at Receipts for Tuesday—Wheat, 13 cars; corn, 850 cars; oats, 615 cars; hogs, 30.000 head.

The distrust which has been occasioned by the crusade of the stock exchange against authorized brokers and the recent raids on bucket shops doing business openly in AN sill street has convinced Baldwin & Cos. that it would be advisable to cease business for a time. The firm occupy elaborately furnished offices and have been exceedingly prosperous. The members of the concern are said to be wealthy and the business done by them has been of almost extensive character.” Building Permits. Edward Pedlow. cottage, Haughvtile, $933. J. H.
