NEW YORK LETTER. New York, June 13. The stock market remains in the same listless, dull and uninteresting condition as during the past few days, uutside of a little flurry in the traction shares which bore all the ear marks of manipulation, the market did not furnish a single feature. Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Interborough were weak and saggy all during the session. A new low record was established for the shares of the Interborough company. The common sold at $15 per share and the preferred around $43. Liquidation was noticeable in other quarters but not upon a large scale. Reading declined from 103 & to lu2'?; Smelters lost a point and Copper dis played a weak undertone. There was nothing in the way of news to stimulate activity and the professional dement bougnt and sold stock among themselves without attracting any out side interests. The market lacks a leader or some influential buying before it can be resurrected from its present lethargic condition. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET

CHICAGO LETTER. Chicago, June 13. WHEAT July wheat sold under 90 cents a bushel right after the opening of the market, but later recovered the loss and advanced about two cents at the closing hours. The same selling pressure appeared in the market which caused the severe shake out of yesterday. Liquidation by holders who were unwilling to respond to the heavy margin calls ne cessary in such erratic markets. Bear traders forced their advantage and offered wheat down in large lots. Tha news in general way was more favor able; the largest cash business being reported so far this year. It is said Winnipeg sold nearly a million bushels of wheat to exporters. Liverpool mar kets did not reflect the weakness which was expected after the break of yesterday. CORN Has been almost as active as the wheat market, although the recuperative power was not so strong.

Prices declined over a cent a bushel during the early part of the session and only a small portion of it regained. The selling appeared from the same sources as that of yesterday. Traders who have been so successful in depressing the wheat market, took a whirl at corn. OATS Suffered the same early declines as the balance of the grain markets, but later recovered sufficiently to close prices higher than last night. A splendid cash business was reported. PUODICE MARKETS. Chicago, June 13. Veal prices were off c. Supplies were rather heavy while buyers were taking just enough for actual needs owing to the high temperatures prevailing. The poultry market was firm. Offerings were not so heavy as of late, while the demand was better. There were 10 cars of strawberries in this morning. The quality was poor, most of the berries being soft, but the demand was fairly active and previous prices were easily obtained. The potato market was unsettled. Butter Receipts, 8,051 tubs.

BY EXCLUSIVE WIRE TO THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES

HEARD ON THE BOUPwSE Philadelphia The DuPont International Powder company declared regular Quarterly dividend of 14 per cent on its preferred stock, payable July 1. P h i 1 a d e 1 p h i a The International Smokeless Powder company declared regular quarterly dividend of threequarters of one per cent on its common stock, payable June 29. Philadelphia The American Steel Manufacturing company dividends for quarter of 14 Iron tt declared each tm its common and preferred aide July 1, to stock of stocks, record. payJ u n e Philadelphia The Fnited States government this morning filed a petition in the United States circuit court here against the so-called anthracite coal trust, asking for a dissolution of the combination. Montreal In Canadian Pacific circles here it is believed that in view of the enormous land sales of the company the next dividend to be declared out of the proceeds from land sales will be increased. Edward Sweet & Co. It is evident that there is absolutely no buying power except from time to time by professionals on covering of their short contracts, or at times after a decline of several days when the purchases of stock are simply made for a turn, and with such a condition we can see no promise of any sustained upward movement. Officials of the United States Steel corporation state that the bookings for the past thirty days or more have been equal to the entire capacity of its plants each and every day. That there is no Indication of falling off in business in spite of the many unfavorable factors that have arisen of late and which might be expected to cause some hesitation in the industry. Philadelphia The Pittsburg. Cincin nati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway com pany declared the usual semi-annual dividend of 2 per cent on its pre ferred stock, payable July 15, to hold ers of record July 5. The company has also declared the usual semi-annual dividend of 2 per cent on its common stock, payable August 25, to holders of record, August 3. Proxies representing about three quarters of the capital stock of the Union Pacific Railroad company are understood to be voted in favor of au thorization of $100,000,000 new common stock against which will be issued $75 000,000 convertible bonds at the special meeting of the stockholders called for June 15 for the purpose of ratifying the proposition. Joseph says: "The talk of friction between this country and Japan is silly poppycock. Sell wheat on all rallies. The big news of the day is that Europe and America have raised a Russian gold loan of $50,000,000. This affords big relief. The government asking for an injunction against the dissolution of the coal merger does not mean confiscation of anthracite properties. Buy Pennsylvania, Reading on any dips. Average long Pacifies, reselling quick rallies. Buy B. R. T. consistently. No one seems to take seriously the rumors alleging that certain stockholders would Institute proceedings to enjoin the bond issue as well as to prevent the payment of the Union Pacific dividend. No one can deny that the company Is more than earning Its dividends and Union Pacific interests say it is difficult to understand on what ground an injunction against dividend payments could b successfully sought, as to the rumored seem to report the rumored proposed action to enjoin the bond issue any such proceedings would seem to have quite a little foundation as action would toward holding up divi dend payments.

LION CLEARED THE YARD. Pet of Minneapolis Man was Death to the Dogs. Mr. Ntilson, who was much annoyed by stray dogs burying bone3 in hla garden at Linden Hills, secured a lion while he was in Europe last aurarner, paying $2S7.50 for a rather weather beaten king of beasts, but one that was guaranteed in every respect. The lion became a great pet on the way over and came to know his master's voice and obey it. Its name wa3 Henry. Arrived at Linden Hills Mr. Nelson let Henry out Into the back yard and simply waited. At 7:20 on the first morning a Newfoundland dogas large as a small garage walked into the yard to step on the flower beds a3 usual and to tip over the garbage can. The lion saw the dog enter the yard and the dog Just barely saw the lion. "Crunch!" That was all. It was the sound made by Henry eating the dog. At 8:10 a monster bulldog smelled his way Into the garden to rip up a yard of soil among the petunias. "Ki-yi!" "Crunch!" The bulldog had gone hence. By 11:30 Henry's score stood: One Newfoundland, one bull, four fox terriers, an Irish setter, and two plain dogs. Everything that came into the yard collided with the lion and lo, it wa3 not. Mr. Nelson was bo joyou3 over the experiment that he could not go to work that day, but just sat around and felt good. In six week3 the dogs were either all in or were avoiding the place by going two blocks the other way. Then the circus came around and the lion was &o fat and glossy that Mr. Nelson disposed of him to the menagerie department for $327.75. Minneapolis Jou--rial. Hindoo Likes Many Clocks. "H-iiindoo places a clock in his room, not because he ever desires to know what the hour is, but because a clock is a foreign curiosity. Instead, therefore of contenting himself with one good clock, he will have, perhaps, a dozen in one room. These clocks are signs of his wealth, but they do not add to his comfort, for he is so indifferent to time that he measures it by the number of bamboo length3 tha sun has traveled about the horizon.
