MARTINsBURG, w. VA, April %.
The SANDER suit of Martin P.
Lands against DR.. +. NJ. Davis,
which has engaged the attention
of the Circuit Court for the past
four days, was compromised this
morning. Because of remark
make by Divis derogatory to the
character of Lands and his
daughter, Lands brought suit
for $1,000. There were about fif-
ty witnesses summoned in the
case. Davis agreed to pay the
entire cost of the suit, and to
sign a paper retracting his re.
marks about Lands. As the
plaintiff and defendant are both
prominent citizens of the county
much interest was manifested in
the case.

CHICAGO, June 2Q-There was not much in
the way of trading today. but q feeling of
firmness pervaded most of the pits during
the early part OF the session, though there
was some weakness later in the day, when
part of the gain was lost. Near the finish,
however, everything took a turn up, and the
close was generally strong. The reason for
the strength in wheat was not very clear, as
cables were no better, domestic markets
quiet. Crop prospects continue highly favor
able, and European prospects still 1attering.
The first carload of new wheat arrived
from Southern Kansas today, and was of fine
quality. The harvesting belt is steadily ex-
tending, ana the yields are reported fully mp
to expectations and the quality superb. One
report from Kansas City said that the crop
of Kansas would exceed S0,000,000 bushels,
or p, 100000 il excess of last year, but this
was not credited. There was very little wheat
for sale, and the demand was not urgent,
though fully equal 10 the offerings. The re-
ceipts were fair as to quantity, but unusually
poor as to quality. as of the 1S) cars inspect

Corn was strong and higher early, but sub
sequently lost most of the improvement.
July started unchanged at 507sc aud ad-
vanced to 51L2c. but the higher prices tempt
ed sellers and checked buying, and there
was a reaction to sic. The market remained
quiet and weak till just before the close,
when it felt the effects OF the general strength
and rallied 10 and closed at 514c.
In the early dealings oats went up sharply
on the strength in corn and discouraging
crop reports, but, like other grains failed TO
hold ali the advance. The market grew ex-
cited on free buying near the close, and
closed strong a40lc higher.

small gains.

New York.

NEW YORK, June 29-The proportions of
stock specul alton continue steadily to dwin-
die. and even though from time to time few
stocks develop certain amount of anima-
lion with paratively wide fluctuations,
the wholly professional nature Of the trad
ing robs the movements of significance In
the best opinion, the holiday character of
the market is likely to continue until after
to be felt, and for the rest of this week
nothing of any kind is to be ex peeled Of the
market.
The Richmond & West Point affair fur
nished subject for conversation aud CON
lecture; but. while the report issued by
Drexel, Morgan d Co. was encouraging as in
dicating the feasibility of a reorganization.
no, one was bold enough to indicate the lines
upon which 1t would be carried out or the
length of time it would take to accom-
plish it.
The statements ofthe Vanderbilt and Read
ing lines were rather encouraging; but the
effect. as far as Wall street is concerned. was
hardly apparent in any direction. The last
I decision in favor of a whisky trust official
advanced the price of the stock 42 per cent at
the opening: but the improvement could not
be held. and, as in the rest OF the list. the
gain melted away, while further fractions
were lost.
The market, as a whole, was 'duller and
more uninteresting than that of any day this
year. and beside Distillers' on ly Chicago Gas
suffered a loss of more than the smallest
fractions. The covering of shorts helped the
market in the late dealings. and the close was
quiet and firm, generally at something under
last nights prices, though losses extended to
B per cent and the only advance of note
was that of lis in Lake Shore. The transac-
lions reached only lis, 126 listed and s, ,146 un-
listed.
The Post says: The general market, though
dull to the last, closed unmistakably strong:
very encouraging fact when it is considered
that most of the days news was unfavorable.

Sweeping Reduction in Rates
From New York to Kan

Railroad Building Shows a
Falling Off in the Pres

CHICAGO, June 29.-Western roads
are not agreed as to what course should
be adopted by them in view of the
sweeping reduction in freight rates
from New York to Kansas City by way
of Savannah and Memphis. They had
a conference on the subject tod ay, pre-
sided over by Chairman Midgley, of the
Western Freight association, who has
Just returned from New York.
Mr.. Midgley reported that while he
was in the East he had communicated
with the managers of the Savannah
line and the Kansas City, Fort Scott u
Memphis road in the hope of being able
to induce them to withdraw the objec-
tionable tariff. They declined to ac-
commOdate him, and he next wrote to
the interstate commerce commission
asking for information concerning the
legality of the action taken by the two
lines. He learned from the auditor Of
the commission that the new tariff was
illegal, and was assured that the matter
would Immediately be laid before the
commission. Under the circumstances
il was deemed advisable to take no steps
pending the consideration of the case
by that body. and, having reached this
conclusion, the meeting adjourned:
Some of :he roads are anxious 10 meet
the reduced rates, while the majority
are opposed to it. 1t would be impos-
sible for the roads in the Western
Freight association to meet the cOmDeti-
ton without pulling down their local
rates, or violating the long and short
haul provision of the interstate COM
merce law. 1t is this that the two late
cutting lines are said to have ignored.
The excuse given by officials of the
Memphis line for making the reduction
is that two or three roads IN the Eastern
Freight association have been secretly
cutting these rates to Southwestern
Missouri river points.
