tude, the expectation that the difficulties are
close 10 finel adjudication is strong. and to-day
had its intineace, both here aud in London.
News from Chicago was OF 8 mixed character,
but seemed 70 have but little effect upon specu-
lation, which showed nos only a broadening
tendency, but displayed stubborn strength very
like 8 genuine bull market. London figures
were all higher this morning. and this was sup
plemented by buying orders from the other
side Though foreigners at top figures were
sellers to a limited extent. shorts were disposed
TO cover and made a strong opening but traders
resisted the upward movement, and in the early
morning caused a partial setbacl, from the high
prices OF the opening, but the demand was sucA
that offerings were all absorbed. and a strong
tone was again impaired to dealings. There
was more even distribution OF business done
than usual of late but grangerS, Louisville and
Nashville, Lackawanna, Union Pacific and
Pacific Mail were the most prominent stocks In
the dealings Interest conferred late in the day
in coalers, all of which, with the exception OF
Reading, showed marked strength. Iacka-
wanna, OF course. was the most conspicuous,
and some selling Of Reading was induced, un-
doubleday by rtInOrs of the severing of friendly
relations with Pennsy lvana. The stock how
ever, was quiet ani firmly held. The unlisted
department was comparatively neglected, and
developed little or no feature OF interest. To
ward the close there was some selling To profits
on the advance of the past two days aud prices
sagged Off slowly. the market finslly closing
heavy at figures but with a marked firm under
tone. The list this evening is almost invariably
higher, but gains are confined to slight frac-
tons in most cases, only lackawanna and New
Jersey Central, with gains of per cent. each,
being the exceptions TO the rule. Among in
active shares, however, there were wider
changes, and Evansville and Terre Haute rose
3la Peoria, Decatur and Evansville , Delaware
and Hudson ~, and Canadian Pacific Ia from
their last recorded sales. One OF the features
of the day was the bidding up of silver certifi-
Gates from 1854 to 1904 on the strength of the
senate finance committee last evening. The
sales of listed stocks were $4,000 shares and
5000 unlisted. The following were the closing

 makes defence which does not leave Super
 intendent Maxwell in a very cheerful posi- tion. The New York Insurance department
 refused to renew the certificate of the asse-
 citation and revoked its authority to transact
 business in that State after June 15. The
 grounds for the departments action are the
 alleged failure to comply with the Masse-
 chusests law regarding the custody of its
 emergency fund, on account of the claims
 due by the Security Mutual at the time of
 the reinsurance of Its members by the Massa-
 chusetts Benefit, and on which the latter
 denies all liabilities. Also that the liabili-
 ties of the company were not properly
 stated. The officers of the company in their
 statement show the peculiar methods of
 the department regarding the charge as to the omission of liabilities. For instance, Superintendent Maxwell said in letter to the association: "In re-
 lation to the omission from the annual state-
 ment of the large amount of reported losses, it is prope, here to mention the fact, that on the hearing at this department of the officers and counsel of the association on the 27th ult., the omission of quite number of claims,
 included in the gross amount reported by the examiners as omitted, was satisfactorily ex- plained by the production of facts and papers not accessible to the examiners at the time of their examination" Concerning that mat- ter the officers of the company pertinently
 remark: "Again, why should an official of a great State cause to be put in print for circu- 1ation statement of his examiner before be knows whether 1t is true or false? Once more, why should he cause 1t to appear in the papers throughout the country as an official report of his examiner the very day which he declares it to be untruea' As to the security matter, the effer of the company to submit the question to three qualified arbitrators, appointed by the Supor intendent of Insurance, all expenses to be paid by the association, is evidence of integ- rity, while the letter from the Massachusetts commissioner states that the emergency fund is legally invested. On the whole, therefore, the company makes good showing.
