WASHINGTON, May 17.-New York is
the stumbling block In the way of the
Democrats of the other states and terri
ories. Not one of the really good
offices in the Empire state has up to the
present been filled by the president,
and it may be sometime before the
policy to be pursued there is decided
upon, and until it is there will be no un-
necessary changes made in other states
from which the New York politicians
could claim to find precedents to apply
to their state. Whether this delay in
New \ ork is due to the desire Of the
president and Secretaries Lamont and
Bissell to control the New York Demo-
cratic state convention next year with a
view to securing the nomination
of Secretary Lamont for governor, as is
charged III some quarters, or to defer
the fight until after this years election,
does not make much difference outside
the Empire state. The leaders outside
New York want action in their states
and they do not care what effect 1t has
in New York.
The result of this waiting policy In
New York has been the practical dis
solution Of the anti-snapper crowd,
which seemed to be largest Oh the day
that Mr. Cleveland was inaugurated,
when nearly every member was in
Washington demanding an office. The

New YORK, May 17.-There was a
decidedly better feeling in stock circles
today. At the start prices ran off = to
~ per cent, i'll sympathy with break
in London, but il soon became evident
that the decline was due to manipula-
tiOn from this side, and rally promptly
enSued. There was good buying OF
stocks generally. and the Vanderbits
were credited with liberal purchases Of
their specialtes. After the market had
enjoyed substantial advance, the bears
began to hammer the list, and reac-
tion of Il to per cent ensued, but the
decline had the effect of checking trad
ing. On the other hand, as soon as the
market started on the upward track
again speculation became lively,
and after delivery hour was char
acterized by positively buoyant
tone. The short interest was conSidera-
bly, alarmed, and final quotations were
anywhere from a to AZ per cent above
last nights finals. When the demand
became urgent, it was found that the
floating supply had been materially re-
duced by recent purchases for invest
ment. The borrowing demand was act
i've, and the market was full of stop
orders" placed by the bears who wished
to limit their losses. The announcement
that arrangements had been made for
funding the floating and other debts of
the Northern Pacific through the inStru-
mentality of the Rockefelers and other
wealthy capitalists, had marked intlu-
ence, as also the statements that the
financial condition of the National Cord
age company is much better than had
been supposed a week or so ago. The
market closed strong with an advancing
tendency.
In its review of the stock market the
Post says: Here and there 1t was eyi-
dent that organized pools were operat-
ing for the rise. This was true of
Northern Pacific preferred, of DiStllling
certificates, and especially of National
Cordage. With the last named stock
some of the spectators who dabbled i'll
it in the seventies seemed once more to
be directing operations, not altOge ther
an encouraging sign. Northern Pacific
stock ran up point or more on heavy
trading, the room trader contingent
learning today what everybody else
knew a fortnight ago. that the organi-
zation of strong collateral trust note
syndicate had been practically assured.
The market as a whole, indeed, reflected
little in its active spots but the move
ments of those and similar small speeu
latorS for the rise.

Wall Street Story That He
Will Retire From the
Northern Pacific,
But When Asked About It He
Says He Has Nothing to
Say.
The Plan for an Issue Of COL
lateral Trust Notes Com =
pleted.
Western Lines Reach No
Agreement on Rates to
the Fair.

New YORK, May 1.-THE story was
repeated this afternoon in Wall street
that Henry Willard was to retire from
the direction of the affairs of the North
ern Pacific railroad. 1t was said that
his resignation was in the hands of
President Oakes, and that it would be
presented to the board of directors at
the meeting tomorrow. President Oakes
was out of town, and all that Mr.. Willard
would say was:
Il have nothing to say on the subject.
may tell you, however, that the Syndi-
cate to underWrite the proposed issue of
collateral trust notes by the company
will be completed"
The same story in regard to Mr.. Will
ard was in circulation a month ago,
and he would neither affirm nor deny 1t.
Many of the stockholders have shown
hostility to Mr.. Willard. but he could
not be forced out of the company
against his own will. as he controls alb
solutely majority of the stock. The
North American company owns $4,000
shares OF Northern Pacific common
stock. and as Its president and ruling
spirit he can vote his stock. He holds
proxies for the large German interest,
and he is individually
A Heavy StOckhOlder.
No director or other officer of the
road could Ue found who knew that MIR.
Willard intended TO retire. 1t is cOnSid-
cred singular that Mr.. Willard as the
chief executive officer should hand his
irn tinp IN tho idnpt 1vhn 10 IN
chief operating officer. 1t would be
more natural for him to submit 1T to the
board of directors as a whole.
The plan for an issue of collateral
trust notes will be presented to the
board of directors tomorrow by the
finance committee. The proposed
amount is S12,OOO,OOO. They will bear +
per cent interest and be redeemable in
five years or earlier. at the option of the
company. The collateral to secure them
will consist mainly of the securities of
controlled roads held in the treasury OF
the company. The purpose of the notes
is to pay off the floating debt Of S10.000,-
900, of which SS,000.000 falls due in Sep
tember, and the remainder at different
dates to the end of the year. The surplus
will be used as working capital for the
road. A syndicate has been organized
by Mr.. Willard to take such of the notes
as are not subscribed tor by holders of
the securities of the road, to whom they
will be first offered. Among the mem
bers of the syndicate and the amounts
for which they put down their names
ale said to be Mr.. Willard, Sl.000,000
Director G.. B. Wright, Sl,0O0,000; John
ID. Rockefeller, of the Standard Oil COM
pany, s3.000,000, and associates OF the
latter s., ,OO0. 900 more. 1t is remarkable
that Mr.. Willard should have raised
such a great sum of money for the
Northern Pacific if he intended to leave
the road.

NO AGREEMENT YET.
Western Lines Do Not Settle
Worlds Fair Rates.

CHICAGO. May 17.-The meeting of
lines east of the Missouri river this
morning to discuss worlds fair rates
produced nothing, and an adjournment
was taken to await the action of the
trans Missouri lines in their meeting to-
morrow. In the meeting this morning
the Alton. Burlington and Rock Island
declared themselves as being in favor
of the so per cent rates adopted some
time since by the association. The
Atchinson took a firm stand against
this and declared in favor of lower
rate east of the river. The matter was
discussed for few minutes only. and
seeing that an immediate agreement
was out of the question, an
adjournment was taken to prevent
a possible row. The .~Atchinson
has announced fatty that it will not
compromise ON $40 for the Denver-Chi-
cago round trip rate, and the SIG round
trip between Kansas City and Chicago
for the round trip. 1t will insist that
rates be made that low, no matter what
happens. If the tranS-MisSouri lines, at
their meeting tomorrow, decide to cut
under the 80 per cent round trip rate
adopted some time since, and the inn
preston is that they will, there is no
question but that rates east of the Mis-
souri, river will take corresponding
tumble.

Big Slump in Prices on Chi
eago Change in the Last
Hour.
Wheat Tumbled on Beapish
News and Selling by the
Clique.
Corn and Provisions Kept
Pace With the Leading
Cereal.
Stock Speculation Became
Lively When the Quota
tions Advanced.

CHICAGO, May 17.-There was costly
surprise in the shape of big bre,k in
prices the last hour today on 'change.
Wheat tumbled to 7415c for July and
left off rather weak at 7455Sc, or &c under
last nights closing price. Corn quit
with loss of 14c. Provisions show de-
clineS of SOC in pork, 25c in lard and
from zoe to 2214c in ribs.
In wheat many things combined to
create weak-kneed feeling. The
Washington and state crop bulletins
time since the crop scare in the early
spring. The foreign markets all showed
weakness, and New York reported ner-
vOusnesS over further Australian bank
troubles. But more than all these in
tluences, the trade was very demOralized
by the suspicion that the Cudahy bull
clique had a number of houses selling
all the wheat possible. Partridge had
covered not less than 100000 bu since
Monday morning, and he was not in a
hurry to take wheat even on the break.
In addition to this Armour and n. B.
Ream were apparently squarely against
the market. They are sellers, it was
said, on the theory that the 10000, 600 bu
of wheat here must be carried and must
be sold against. Late cables were
lower, and rains were reported in Ger
many. The opening was 40019c lower
than yesterdays closing, and, with some
fluctuations, prices further declined n
@15sc, held steady, and the closing was
about 1M@1%c lower than yesterday.
A private cable purportlng to come from
Buda Pesth was circulated among
traders, reporting great excitement
there, with an advance of Sc per bu in
wheat, owing to damage from drouth in
Hungary. But as other foreign markets
did not seem to be affected by it the
trade here voted it canard.
Corn was firm aud sold at shade
over yesterdays closing prices at the
opening, but was crushed by the
weight of these offerings when wheat de-
clined. The closing was within sc of
inside prices. Advices from the coun-
try were the farmers were resuming
their hauling of corn to market and that
rail shipments would be much heavier
next week.
Oats opened firm and remained so un-
til about noon. The receipts were 10
cars short of the estimate and there
were good many buying orders re-
ported. The fine weather and also
sympathy with wheat and corn caused
decline in the market towards the close
and values dropped from g to n of a
cent, closing with Is reaction.
The provision market was weak, but
with light trade. The slump in grain
and the continuation of uneasiness on
account of the financial situation were
weakening factors, and the market re-
ceived very little support from the bull
clique.
Freights were in better demand and
lake rates firmer at l &c for wheat and
1@1Ac for corn and oats to Buffalo.
Wheat was taken through to New York
at 755c. Estimated receipts for tomor-
row: Wheat, ITO cars; corn, 200 cars;
oats, 1870 cars; hogs, $4,000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
