GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, May 25.-Openng prices this
morning were about on a parity with last
weeks closing level. but yielded Immediate
ly to sales for both accounts. London's
celebration of the Whtsuntide holiday left
local values entirely within the control of
professional traders.
The engagement OF S1,590.0G0 gold for ex-
port by tomorrows steamers was an
nounced early in the day, and the pros
poets of further Withdrawals during the
week are not encouraging to stock values.
The outflow continues to be largely due to
special orders from the continent. and 1t is
generally hoped that drawings on London
will soon appear in sufficient volume to
make the eiiiuX Improbable.
The transactions In Manhattan were
again a feature Of the trading the illogical
course Of Saturday having been entirely
abandoned. Opening at l07, the price
yielded under liberal sales 10 lOii2, from
which point il rallied moderately under
covering The decision against the rapid
transit project is now recognized as being
of little assistance to the maintenance Of
present dividends. In this connection the
quarterly report of the Metropolitan Trac-
t:on, inhattan's most act!ce compe itor,
is interesting. According to figures flied at
Albany, the surplus OF the surface road
Tor the quarter ending March 81 is $780, so.
as compared with sGo,3I7 for the same
period one year ago.
The Withholding Of the decision I'm the
case OF the Lacelede Gas Company by the
supreme Court had d decidedly adverse
effect on TIE price of the company's stock
this mLrning. RUmors Of a favorable de-
cision were freely circulated early in
March, the stock advancing to 30 on the
prospect. Liquidation of long stock and
moderate short selling resulted in a de-
cline of 2l2 per cent this morning to 23i. at
which point the covering of short stock
interrupted the decline.
The regular semi-annual dividend of ~
per cent and extra dividend of / per
cent were declared on the preferred stock
of the company during the afternoon.
Sugar was active on a declining scale as
the result of rroiit-taking. A further adj
vance OF 1-lG per cent in -at.s for the re-

N THE HOME STRETCH
Last Week of the Democsatio Campaign
for Delegates in < entuoky.
The Situation of ting silver and Sound
Money Men Set Forth in Blue
Grass VerpnepIar.


This is the last week of the democratic
campaign In Kentucky for control of the
state convention to >select delegates to
Chicago Saturday next the counties will
choose their delegates at mass conventions
at the county seats, and then the tale will
be told. The state convention follows on
June 3.
AS they put it in the blue grass country.
where racing is an institution, and supplies
figures of speech for all human endeavors,
the contestants have entered the home
stretch. The good horse Silver, with Mr..
blackburn up, is moving easily and Is evil
IDENTIFY still strong, while imported Gold
with Mr.. Carlisle up, shows signs of firing.
The finish is certain to be exciting, and
bolh riders may draw the whip before the
wire Is reached. Mr.. Blackburn has the
Garrisonian trick of sometimes lifting his
mount III. But Mr.. Carlisle is no farmer"
When the pace Is hot, and he has many
times landed first VI der great difficulties.
Tle stake is not only the control of the
state convention, but as the silver men be-
EeVe, the control at Chicago as well. The
argument of the silver men is that if Mr..
Carlisle loses his own state the administra-
TONS fight will from that moment be hope
less and they will be able to write their
own national platform and nominate their
own national ticket.
The change in Kentucky since last year.
W Hth Inc SOli men carried the uaS, Is as
crlbed to influences somewhat apart from
the financial question proper. The election
OF a republican governor in q state where
thirty years of unbroken democratic vic
tories have been recorded proved a shock,
1t IS reported, to many old-lire democrats
who upon the question of finance had held
with MIR. Carlisle. They did not realize
altogether what a serious party division
meant. They have since been on the stool
OF reflection, if not of repentance.
They have not relished the charge of be-
ing responsible for their party's rout at the
poiis, everywhere thrust at them in the
state by the silver men. Then came the
senatorial contest at Frankfort, when Mr..
blackburn was defeated by the bolt of
few gold members of the legislature, and
the reputation of the course of the boilers
by the gold men Of the prominence of Sena-
tors Hill and German surveying the fight
ffom distance. In one way another,
1t Is asserted, the silver men have come to
stand for organ iZation and unity in the
state, and thereby have greatly strength
cred themselves for this fight.
Mr.. blackburn believes that silver will
win. He has had much assistance from the
outside. Gov. Stone of Missouri is among
the visiting stumpers, and Mr.. Bailey OF
Texas leaves here tomorrow to deliver three
speeches. Neither Mr.. Carlisle Sena-
tor Lindsay will appear for the other side,
and this eXciteS comment.

FORD'S THEATER DISASTER,

There was practically no debate on the
amendment to the general deficiency bill
appropriating for the Ford Theater disaster
claims when that section was reached in
the Senate today. The item was agreed to
without change. Senator Plat called at
tention to the fact that the amendment
provided that in the event of the death Of
any of the survivors mentioned in the
amendment before payment should be made
the Secretary of the Treasury should turn
over the amounts allowed to the personal
representatives of the deceased. He
thought this too loose phrase and sug-
gested that 1t should be legal represen-

ment was accepted as 1t stood, with the
