New YORK, June 1.-Stocks opened
strong and active. The news from Pitts
burg that the expected strike among the
iron workers had been averted, coupled
with reports of much more favorable
weather N the west, caused more hope
ful feeling in Wall street The market
during the middle of the day dragged a
little, but in the last hour highest prices
were made in some stocks. Among the
coalers, Delaware q Lackawanna and Jer-
sey Central were conspicuous. The form
er sold at 1855 and the latter touched
814. Lake Shore, st. Paul, Union and
Texas Pacific were all better. The North
ern Pacific and Omahas were somewhat
neglected early, but buoyant later. The
quotations on Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy to-day are less the per cent.
dividend and the Erie second mortgage
bonds are quoted less the per cent.
interest. Although the Union Pacific con-
tinues to show a loss in gross receipts,
the president says The net earnings are
larger than last year. Many OF the large
operators are quoted as talking quite bull
lish on the situation this evening, and
there was unusually good buying at the
last.
Vice President Tompkins, of the Wa
bash company, stated this afternoon that
the difficulties at Peoria had been settled
and rates restored. He thought the Iowa
pool difficulties would be adjusted to-day.
An insider in st. Paul said this morning:
sit will depend on Mr.. Gable. st. Paul is
not belligerent, and has strong influences
on its side. The Northwestern and Bur-
hngton & Quincy wanted the st. Paul some
time ago to come into the Iowa pool, and
offered to allow equal terms. The Rock
Island objected. If percentages are to be
submitted to arbitration, the business
which st. Paul has done between Council
Bluffs and Chicago during the past six
months will satisfy any reasonable board
of the justice of st. Paurs claim for an
equal proportion of business"
President Dillon comes back very well
satisfied with the outlook for the Union
Pacific. He says that crops are looking
we'll all along the line, especially in
Nebraska. The difficulties reported some
days ago as adjusted were with reference
to the Denver lines in Colorado. They
were old matters rather than live issues.
He said that Union Pacific had to pay last
year a large amount of money to the
Atchison, Topeka d Santa Fe, which this
year would not be required. There was no
question about the maintenance of divi
dends, and he expected to see the stock
cross par.

| fair in near futures and prices ranged a
shade higher, but the deferred deliveries
were rather quiet and not much changed
Sample lots covered wide range owing to
the difference in the quality of samples
sold. Future deliveries opened firm with
fair trade in the near futures, for which
prices advanced 4@15c. A dull, easy
feeling ensued later, the improvement
named was lost, and the deferred futures
closed even shade under yesterdays
closing prices. The increasing shipments
out of here have given rise to the belief
that the bulls are sending staff out to re-
duce stocks and sustain prices. Some
$4,000 bushels were shipped to-day, while
vessel room was chartered for $4,000 bush
els. The receipts inspected were lis cars.
Cash rye was easier to-day owing to
quite free offerings. The speculative mar
ket was steady. There was a fair trade in
June ard July deliveries with considerable
done in the way of, changing contracts.
Barley was very dull. The demand was
exceedingly limited, while at the same
time the offerings were slightly increased,
hence weak feeling prevailed.
An unsettled market was witnessed in
hog products, and prices ruled with consid-
cradle iregularity, and on the average
ruled lower on all the leading descriptions.
The deliveries on June contracts were
quite liberal of all kinds. The offerings
on speculative account were free and de-
mand fairly active. Shipment not
very large. Foreign advices showed a
decidedly weak feeling in that
quarter and the eastern market
slightly favored buyers. The
offerings of mess pork we're quite liberal
and the demand moderately active.
Prices ruled easy, and declined 5000 early
in the day, but rallied later and closed
firm. The offerings of lard were quite
large and the demand fairly active. Prices
were somewhat irregular, ruling 5@IOc
higher per 100 pounds early, and then re-
ceding again later. At the close they raj
lied again and closed steady. Lard was
day was purely speculative. The McGeoch
bull combination has its hands full to
maintain prices under the flood of deliver
les on contract being made. The New
York stock of lard is reported 23,9O2
tierces, a decrease of 1000 t1erces during
May, and 1890 tierces less than a year
ago. The hog market was rather democrat
lied to-day, and buyers were moving
cautiously. Prices broke 10@15c.

a Railroad in Contempt.

DENVER, Col, June LIN the United
States district court this morningJ udgeHal-
lett delivered an opinion in the case of the
Denver New Orleans railway company
VS.. the fAtchison e Santa Fe company to
show cause why it should not be in con-
tempt for violating the decree made some
time since compelling the latter road to
exchange business with the formsr on the
same terms .as with the Denver & Rio
Grand railroad company. The Judge
held in changing divisions or
through business and diverting bus
mess from the plaintiffs road.
the Santa Fe road was in contempt
and fined them 800 for each case of
freight diverted, and further that defend
ants must pay to plaintiff their full pro-
portion of the through rates in accordance
with the divisions in force at the time the
former degree went into effect, April 80.
which latter rates were held to be not un-
reasonable and that the defendant roads
to deprive the plaintiff road of its revenue
by changing the division of through rates

DAKOTA'S CAPITAL.

Take Four Ballots Bismarck Believed
| to Have the Advantage.
| Special Telegram to the Globe
| FARGO, D. T., June 1.-The capital COM
| missioners came into Fargo at O'Clock
| this morning from Detroit in their special
car, and met at Keeney hall at 10 o'clock
and adjourned to meet at Myers room at
the hotel, as he was indisposed and not
| able to attend the meeting. A large num-
Der of citizens, land sharks and SPECTATORS
are here from the different points in
Dakota, and good deal of money is being
bet on the future location.
-Four ballots were taken and resulted as
follows:
Scott voted for Odessa first, Ordway
second and twice for Huron.
Myers four times for Redfield.
De Long first for Canton and three times
for Pierre.
Hughes for Huron four times.
Mathews, Huron four times.
Thompson for Mitchell four times.
Beldlng for Pierre four times.
Mckenzie for Bismarck first, Steele Sec
ond, and the last two votes for Bismarck.
A. Spaulding of Fargo, four times for
Redfeld.
Adjourned to meet at 10 o'clock to-mor-
row, and speculation is running high but
from the way old timers are betting it looks
asthough there was ring within ring,
and Bismarck is yet to get the laurels
and the two from south
Dakota will vote that way
tomorrow to get the balance of their
money. There is some little feeling here
in Fargo by a few against Bismarck, fear
ing if the capital does go there the Chica-
go roads will push that way instead of
this, but the location is pretty we'll settled.

the movement is the result of careful

what party they will in the future act
