London Selling Causes Decline in
Prices
INFLUENCE OF TIE Iron INDUSTRY
Sugar the Conspicuous Feature of
the Day.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, June 20-Under the influ-
ence of London selling stock values were
disposed to yield slightly from yesterdays
level. the narrowness of speculation tend
ing as usual, to prevent any marked de-
clines. The foreign sales of st. Paul were
especially noticeable throughout the morn
ing, one block Of 1900 shares being mar
keted fractionally under initial figures. This
disposition on the part of foreign holders
to realize on the securities bought months
ago. considerably under present prices, is
not unnatural but in the present condition
of the exchange market such action is by
no means desirable.
The professional element was inclined to
unite in an effort to force a reaction, but
local sentiment is still too strongly op-
posed to this course to admit Of more than
temporary setback.
The strength of the iron market is q
powerful influence for good in the present
situation. and encourages a belief in the
successful outcome of conservative ven-
lures on the long side Of the market
The iron industry in times past has been
the first to recover from periods of financial
and commercial depression. and on the
nounced is but repetition of previous oc-
currences the street is disposed to rely
confidently upon a general business re-
vival. Conditions in the southwest, being
somewhat more tangible than in other
sections have attracted the attention OF
certain farsighted operators. who propose
taking up the securities belonging to that
section and making values. conditions and
prospects harmoniZe.
The Grangers may be neglected to some
extent during this process. but prices are
not likely to suffer In consequence.
Sugar was the most conspicuous feature
of the day, liberal selling Of stock to realize
forcing a reaction of 2 per cent from a
strong opening. Manipulation was clearly
defined during tie progress of the decline.
and the best informed see no cause for ap-
prehension in today's action. National Lead
common sold off on the adjournment of to-
days meeting of directors for lack of the
necessary quorum, and the consequent post
ponement of action on the dividend Ques-
-tion. A meeting has been called for one
for urging caution in purchasing the stock
on the presumption that dividend will be
declared.
Tennessee Coal and Iron was again in
good demand, and advanced sharply for a
2 per cent gain over first figures. The
strength of New England, under purchases
by an interest said to have largely accu-
mulated a round amount OF the minority
stock for purposes as yet involved In mys-
terry. attracted some attention, but practi-
cally no buying outside of the clique OF
brokers operating for the interest IN Ques-
ton. .
the short interest in the market has been
considerably increased by today's trading
and will likely contribute to the restora-
tiCn of higher prices at the close Of the
week. Any demand for stocks would cause
a sharp rally, as the present floating sup
ply is extremely limited
Closing figures were somewhat irregular,
but in the main steady

that the resolutions drawn up by the pas
sengers of the st. Louis. to which objec-

than the usual thanks to her captain for
a successful voyage, and that Sir. Julian

which reflected upon British shipping; they
were not compiled by the ambassador and
were not couched in diplomatic language.

The body will be taken from the river and
prepared for shipment to Baltimore, Md,

thing leads to the belief that Kerngood en-
tered the upper Niagara at or near the
International bridge, and that during the
seven months that he has been missing he
has been fast in the ice or floating slowly
down stream toward the point where his
body was found.

CONVENTION GOSSIP.
Chauncey W. Depew Goes Through

Special From Staff Correspondent.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 20.
Another presidential possibility has
lodged the convention. Chauncey NJ. De-
pew, who has been slated for an address,
passed through Cleveland early this morn
ing. on his way east. He kept to his car
and did not communicate with the conven-
ton managers. 1t is believed Mr.. DepeW
scented danger in the air and concluded to
keep away 1t is admitted that it must
have been a strong foreboding of danger to
overcome the temptation to Mr.. Depew to
address such a gathering.
Ex-senator Warner Miller of New York
addressed the convention this morning, and
in the course of his remarks touched upon
the silver question. He talked bimetallism,
but declared against the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. His remarks upon this
line met with but meager applause. The
silver men, however, did not make any dem
onstration of disapproval, but listened in
silence.
Mr. s. E. JONES' colored delegate from
the District of Columbia, offered a resolu-
ton demanding the right to franchise for
the District of Columbia. 1t declares the
present form of District government to be
a monarchy and pledges the league to eff
forts to secure the right of suffrage. There
was no applause whatever, and the resolu-
ton was referred.

resolution voicing the sentiment of the
league to be in sympathy with the Cuban
revolution. and commencing their efforts
for independence. The reading of the reso-
luton was loudly cheered. 1t was referred
to the committee on resolutions.
Delegate Carr of Colorado presented a
resolution demanding the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at 16 to 1. 1t was
cheered by the western men, but the anti
silver men patiently refrained from utter
ing murmur of disapprobation, and it
was referred without creating a ripple Of
excitement. N. o. NJ.

The Girls, Reform School.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
1 notice that our colored friends are very
much excrcis ed over the girls reform
school. I judge from the complaints made
by the Rev. Mr.. Brooks, as published in
The Star, that he was surprised at not
finding the inmates sitting in the parlor
and being waited upon by those in charge!
Now, l beg to suggest to him that if he
and his friends will only prevail on these
girls to lead decent and honest lives they
will have no occasion to occupy the re-
form school. 1t strikes Inc that II he and
his friends will go into the slums from
which these girls come and try to reform
them he will be much better engaged than
in finding fault with the management of
the school. Then l see he thinks that none
but colored persons should be appointed to
manage it, because the inmates all col
ored. On tho same principle / suppose he
will sc on be insisting that the great ma
jorty of those in charge of the Jail and the
work house should also be colored, as the
great majority of their inmates are col
ored. And then, to carry out the principle.
none but colored men should be appointed
judges of the police and criminal courts,
because by far the greater number of those
brought there for trial are colored.
subject. and that is that if the colored peo-
pie alone will pay the taxes necessary to
support these institutions, then they shall
have the management Of them. If they
not ready to accept that compromise,
then I think the less they say on that
point The better. TAXPAYER.
