FINANCE AND TRADE
A Reaction Toward Weakness Pre-
vailed in Wall Street.
REALIZING SALES TIE MAIN CAUSE
Although a London Holiday and
Gold Shipments Helped.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK. June 2l-London nrioss
TINS morning were about on a parity with
the local closing level hut no new business
was reported at that center
The holiday tomorrow was largely re
sponsihle for the lack OF interest abroad
but sentiment is reported TO be stiu IA
vorable to Improvement
The prospects of liberal gold shipments
during the week had an adverse influence
on prices during the morning the opening
hour rejecting Concessions IN all depar,
ments. The total outflow is variously .sfi-
mated TO he between S2.ooo.Un and Ssna
CO.., but the former amount is probably th,
more accurate.
he shipments thus far recorded have not
detracted from the treasury supply, and a
fair proportion of the present need will he
supplied from private sources The out
now of gold at time when international
trade balances are in favor of the United
states IS not a serious matter.
This view subsequently helped to restore
prices and in many Instances substantial
fractional gains We're recorded
Inc reports of crop conditions in the
west came in about this junctur. also and
added incentive 10 the Improvement The
Granger roads were especially active
under the influence of these reports
he announcement of a probable refund
ing OF the Northwestern loan had bene-
ncidl influence on the same group of Sc
curitics
The refunding ofs high rate bonds is
hReiy TO md favor in many instances and
may be the chief incentive to aggressive
stock Improvement during the summer.
The Northern Pacific issues reflected fur
Their realizing sales this morning. but sub
sequently became steady under an i'm
proved demand.
The probable election of ex Secretary La
rront to the presidency of this road is re-
lied upon to inspire further activity I'm its
securities.
The actual announcement of the success
ful execution Of a plan formulated In the
interest of harmony with the Great
Northern is expected almost daily.
The prospect of Western Union wires be-
ing retained for the purpose of transmit
ting stock exchange quotations is having a
company.
This controversy has been hanging over
the entire Gould group. and its terminal
ton should be generally beneficial
The industrial shares seemed to hesitate
and to lack sympathy with the general
market. Sugar and Chicago Gas. while not
justifying reputation for weakness, were
not very strong.
Realizing sales Were especially conspicu-
Gus in both these properties. but the prices
of neither suffered materially.

BIDS FOR TORPEDO BOATS
Unusual Interest Manifested BY Ship
Builders.
Some Of the Largest Firms Repre-
sented-A Great Change From
Former Custom.

The opening at the Navy Department OF
proposals for building three torpedo boats
called together more bidders as one Of
them expressed 1t, than used to gather
when ten million dollars worth of naval
construction was the stake Then II was
notlceable too. that the largest ship-build-
ing concerns In the United States ap-
peared today as competitors for the little
boats. while heretofore they have often
disregarded such work. The boats which
are sought to be secured are of the high
est speed The contracts will demand not
less than 80 knots an hour which Is 21s
knots faster than the speed fixed for the
Porter. Two of them are to have a trial
displacement Of not less than 30 tons
each, and the other of not less than o6D
tons. The successful bidder is allowed
eighteen months to build the boats.
me bidding today was complex, some
bidders making their bids up in variously
combined groups of the same elements.
and from this fact, as well as because of
the great difference in sizes of the boats
proposed by different bidders. and the sup
ply or omission of more or less important
ad5uncts. it is scarcely possible. until the
lids have been carefully examined by
board of experts. to say which are the low
est bids. There was the usual freak bid in
to build a boat which would make no less
than 40 knots an hour. and SO would be
a world-beater. but. as he forgot to inclose
certified check, his bid was not consid-
cred. The bids were as follows:
Geo. Lawley & Son of Boston, one boat
Of 40 tons, for $2SO.O0O.
Union iron works of San Francisco one
3SO-ton boat. s24o.25O: two of the same for
$780, One boat of 2S4 tons. for S225,-
900; two for $4,000.
Harlan & Hollingsworth of Wilmington
Del. one boat OF 2I6 tons for S214,OOO one
of $40 tons for 5000, or both for $449, 600
One 267-ton boat for $212OOO, with one of
$40 tons for $235. 5000, or SAT-. eco for both
Another Of $40 tons for $236 900, and still
another of the same size for S2s3. 800 or for
both S467.OOO. One boat of 276 tons for
$2l5.OO0. or two of same for s425OOO. One
boat of 267 tons for $213,OOO. and for two

they cannot recommend the proposed legis-
lation- In their judgment the relief avail

Quent to further neglect and lead to like

After the approval Of the journal In the
House of Representatives today a special
order was adopted providing for the con-
sideration of a bill appropriating 100000
for the repair of dry dock No 3 at the
New York navy yard.
Mr.. Henderson Uewa) explained the ne
cessity for the appropriation, saying that
leaks had appeared which threaten the
collapse Of the dock Immediate measures
to repair the damage. he said, were neees-
sary. He read d letter from the Secretary
of the Navy in support OF that statement
The water flowing from dock No. into
dock No. threatened 1t also.
In answer to an inquiry by Mr.. Sayers
(Texas) Mr.. Henderson said dock No. !,
had been completed within the last year
The injury probably had been done by DOW
erful dredging machinery or by the prows
of vessels. The accident, he said, should
not be made the basis for adverse criti-
cism of the construction of the dock.
Mr.. Simpson of Kansas suggested that
the matter had not been considered by the
committee on naval affairs.
Mr.. Cummings of New York said this
dock was the only dock on the Atlantic
coast where a large battle shin could be
repaired. He thought the trouble had its
origin in the fact that it was built of tim
Der instead of stone.
Mr.. Cannon of Illinois believed that some
one was In fault. either the contractor or
the supervising officers. The responsibility
for the leak should be fixed.
The resolution was adopted-l14 to H.
Mr.. Latfmer (S.C) asked unanimous con-
sent to have considered a bill declaring
state capable of entirely controlling the
liquor II affc.
This Mr.. W. A. Stone Pa) said was an
cutsrowth of local fight in South Car
DINA. in which the courts had made a de-
cision. and was not proper matter for
consideration by the House. He objected
to its consideration.
Mr.. Dingley (Me.). from the committee
on ways and means. presented a favorable
report on joint resolution providing that
foreign exhibitors al the Omaha exposition
In 1898 may bring to this country laborers
to prepare and have charge of exhibits
Two amendments provide that the Secre-
tary CT the Treasury shall fix the number
OF laborers to enter the country. and that
they shall leave the United States within
three months from the termination of the
exposition.
On motion of Mr.. Dingley the House
then. at 1:O6 PIN. adjourned until Thurs
