lower, and common natives followed the

found depression, we have to note a loss for

with a downturn of 3O@4Oc on
common cows, and canning stock
25@30c lower than last week. For the week
the receipts of Texans nave averaged each

New YORK, July 2S.-[Special Telegram to
TIT BEE. -STocKs-The bulls have had a
better week. Everything favored their side
and prices were gradually advanced. Speed
lation at times was heavy but it showed a
lack of outside business which is essential to
a permanent advance in values. The chief
feature was the decision Of Judge Brewer in
the low railroad case, temporarily restrain
ing the railroad commissioners of the state
from enforcing their schedule of rates. This
decision is regarded by operators as of great
Importance. While the injunction is but
temporary it is based on the broad principle
that states have no right to fix unreasonable
freight rates. and il sustained by further
decisions will effectually check the enforce
ment of what has been known as granger
legislation which has been threatening the
prosperity, If not the existence, of many rail-
way corporations. These laws are detri-
mental TO the prosperity Of all the roads
where they were enacted aud capitalists
recognize the great Importance TO these cor
porations of this restraining decision and be-
lieve that in the future it nay have a tendency
to change the ideas Of grangers regarding
railroad property. London has been an i'm
portant factor and almost daily shaped the
course of the market by sending in large buy
ing orders. The shorts were driven 10
cover rapidly and as is usually the case when
the sentiment in Wall street is mostly bull
ish, the talk of the formation Of bull pools in
active stocks was frequent. Specialists bid
up their favorites and made strong efforts TO
unload. Changers anne in for a large share
of attention and at times showed most
strength and activity. The highest prices
were reached Friday. The market had a
strained look and the realizing movement TO-
day caused a decided slump, but closing sales

while shipments have been liberal, especially
from lake ports. The stocks of leading
cereals are still decreasing, though
the free movement of new grain shortly will
no doubt enlarge them again. There has
been more inquiry for flour and grain for ex-
port, especially at the seaboard and quite
liberal purchases were made public.
Provisions nave exhibited considerable
activity, and prices have averaged higher,
due to light receipts of hogs and a marked in
crease in shipments of products on low rates
of freight. Packing IN the west is progress
ing moderately, and the returns now show a
decrease of about 1907 coo hogs, compared
with last seasons figures to date.
