NEW YORK, MAY 2s.-London slightly
lower than the close here. Saturdays mar
ket considered TO indicate further gain
this week. Good long buying OF several
stocks. Loan crowd showed considerable
shifting of stocks. Northern Pacific lost
mineral lands suit. Recent advance i'm
Cordage prices due to better trade de-
mand. Fluctuations in Sugar expected to
be small while schedule Is undcr
consideration. Officers of 81. Paul
say that the A per cent. dividend
will be maintained this year. Coal strike
tied up several railroads in the West.
1t is expected that Pullman
will show 100000 surplus for
the year. A much farther advance in the
market is not expected as short interest has
been largely eliminated and pending the
all absorbing question of Sugar scheme in
the bill and the Senatorial investigation.
In the Industrials somewhat lower mar
ket may be looked for after today.
Advices from central and northern
Kansas and Northwestern part OF the
State concerning the wheat crop, are not
prospects are not confined to
that section, but sre general
in southern and southwestern Nebraska
and even in the fertile Missouri River
bottoms of this section. Late frost and
continued dry weather are responsible for
the damage to wheat. Large acreage OF
corn, however, which is fairly good.
Commission houses and traders bought
Gas, but no stock for sale.
Liverpool cotton market moderate de-
mand at steady prices, sales estimated at
10000 bales. Futures steady at unchanged
prices.
The feeling is very bearish on Northern
Pacific preferred on account of the land
decision.
A good many traders seem TO think
there will be June rise In stocks OF no
inconsiderable proportions. The talk Is
very bullish on General Electric. Thought
this stock will seek materially lower level
of prices because it is certain that divi-
dends will not be resumed for many day.
Foreign houses that bought New York
Central on declines continue to carry the
stock because it pays very much better
than shipping it to owners.
