LATEST MOVEMENTS I IN INDUSTRIAL CENTERS,

BY EXCLUSIVE WIRE TO THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES

NEW YORK LETTER. New York, June 1. Early prices from London were quoted from onequarter to one-half point lower than

our close yesterday. This gave the

bears renewed courage and induced quite a little selling throughout the list. St. Paul, Union Pacific and the balance of the high priced railroad shares averaged declines varying from one-half to one point with St. Paul the leader in the bear movement the latter, dropped from 12C4 to 12 5. A bear raid was inaugurated against the copper shares. Both Anaconda and Amalgamated Copper were exceptionally weak with the selling pressure rether aggressive for a half holiday market. Tho continued talk of unsatisfactory trado conditions in the metal world and rumors of competitors of the Amalgamated company underselling them in the opening market, despite the current quotation upon the metal exchange. These rumors undoubtedly carry some weight and are partly the cause of the present weakness In copper shares. That the de

mand by consumers for copper has fallen off perceptibly is undeniable. Some of the best posted people In the trade argued that the producers must reduce the price of copper In order to stimulate the demand. At twenty-five cents per pound for copper, the largest producers are reaping enormous earnings, but can this price prevail against tho law of supply and demand is the question most discussed. Amalgamated dropped about two points, opening at 85 and selling down close to 83, later it regained a portion of the decline. The bank statement was about what the trade expected. As a market factor, It practically had no effect. The market upon the whole swayed back and forth within narrow limits with professionalism in evidence in all Quarters.

part in the price movement today than!

usual. Everything in that line was in the beas favor. Receipts at both Minneapolis and Duluth almost double those of a year ago; St. Louis and Kansas City also had more liberal arrivals of wheat than a year ago. Tho clearances, while large, did not cause any new buying in the speculative market. Early foreign markets were quoted one-quarter higher but there was a noticeable lack of foreign buying in the local market which is attribut

able to a better outlook for the foreign '

crop. A few sprinkling of the usual crop damage reports from the southwest were In evidence but given scant notice. The market closed weak without regaining any of the lost ground. CORN Opened a shade higher due principally to cooler weather in the corn belt and a lack of offerings by cash houses. Trade, however, narrow and professional. There is a fair demand reported for casli corn buyers are asking concessions in price. The estimated receipts for Monday were quite a surprise to the trade, being 743 cars. It fmphaslzes the fact that the farmers are through planting and are willing to sell a little corn whenever the price Is right. The market eased off slightly after the high prices ruling at the opening. OATS Ruled strong at the opening, but followed in the path of the other

grain pits, selling off and closing rather weak. The same class of crop damage stories as heretofore. Trade narrow.

HEARD ON THE BOURSE Strong demand for stocks in the loan crowd.

Robert Mather, president of the Rock Island company, has just returned from a trip to the Pacific coast. He says that the development in California is surprisingly rapid. In the extreme southwest, Mr. Mather says unquestionably the wheat crop has been damaged to a considerable extent by drought and the green bug. In Missouri and Iowa he says crops look well, but that everything agricultural is about one month late.

Philadelphia The combined earnings of the Reading company in April of over $8,000,000, were the largest in its history. Gross earnings of the railway company have never been exceeded. The next largest being $3,828,42S in October 1906. The gross earnings of the coal and iron company have however, been twice exceeded in April 1906, amounting to $4,610,535 and in November of the same year, . $4,239,230. The Reading coal tonnage for May will approximate 1,200,000.

In the event of further strength today we advise taking profits and waiting for a good recreaction before buying again. Some consolation may be found by the optimistic, in Mr. Roosevelt's Indianapolis remarks, but this incident will scarcely result in any public buying of importance and aggressive support by the banking interests will also be lacking, as they are so fully occupied with their syndicate" operations, including some yet to be announced. In ,fact there are still plenty of stocks bought recently, for support that will be coming on the market to give the strpnger element In the bear party renewed courage.

REAL ESTftTEJlD INDUSTRIAL A Resume of the Day's Activity, Financitl and Industrial; In Business and Realty in the Calumet Region,

The residents of the cities along the route of the proposed Lafayette and Chicago electric railway are much interested in the activity of the officials of this line and most of them believe the project will be a success. It appears from certain information that has been received at this ofSca, however, that the scheme is still in

the embriotic stage and that the promoters are still undecided" regarding the manner of financing the road. One plan suggested, which may be carried out, is that of floating a million dollars worth of stock among the

farmers along the right of way and in

this way let those who will benefit by It help to build the road. A copy of a letter from L. A. Shadburne. Bankers and Brokers of Chicago, to G. W. Infield who Is the president of the Lafeyette & Chicago line indicates the manner in which the road is. to be financed. President Infield, is expected to provide for the franchises, right of way, surveys, and to advertise the stock in the local papers from Lafayette to Hammond for a period of 60 days.

Shadburne agrees to dispose of the

1. 000,000 stock at less than 50 cents on the dollar upon which he Is to re-

ceive a commission of 5 per cent, upon condition that at least $100,000 worth of the stock shall have been sold.

Shadburne concludes" his letter by

saying that he has consulted with some railway friends of his and that they believe the plan can not help but be a success. .

Judging from this letter the Lafay

ette & Chicago railway will be financed

by the farmers and business men in the cities which line the road. If this plan Is carried out It will be a unique meth

od of building the road, to say the least, and will give its patrons the ownership

and control of the line.

NOTES. Louis Greenfield and Fred Ammon sold their five cent theatre in East Chicago to John McCratey of that city for a consideration of $500. The deal was consummated by Mose Spectre a local real estate dealer.
