Wall street Yesterday.

New York, May 19.-The rapidity with
which the stock market changes 1t super
ficial tone Is Characteristic OF narrow
speculation. Yeste rday's firnncss was
succeeded today by a sagging tendency,
the genuine situation not having changed
at all in the meantime, and there having
been no Developments to explain why the
then buyers should have turned sellers.
The opening OF the market was steady,
though the trading was upon very small
scale, and was largely centered in a few
stocks. During the forenoon Chicago Gas
and the granger shares showed decided
strength, which was then quite unaffected
by the simultaneous weakness Of the
anthracite group, These stocks all showed
considerable activity, but interest IN the
remainder OF the market was practically
suspended
Both the London and Paris stock markets
were reported fairly buoyant on the re-
moval of further apprehensons in regard
to the European political situation.
Serious declines in Jersey Central and
Delaware and Hudson took place on the
announcement that the coal companies in
tended TO contest with vigor the proceed
ings OF the Attorney General in the inyesti-
cation Of the alleged coal combination.
The chief event Of the day, however,
was ensational break in Chicago Gas
on the defeat OF the measures which have
been before the Illinois legislature for
the benefit OF the concern. The transac-
tions in the certificates attained heavy
total, and the trading for awhile was
quite demoraIized; but the Changers showed
a firm undertone throughout. and gen
orally better tone was evident in the final
dealings. when it was announced that the
senate would adjourn until Monday.

The feature OF the day yesterday was
the throwing ont OF the Chicago Gas Con-
soldation bill and its lack of effect on the
market except for the matter OF the Gas
stock itself. This company has made a
long, hard fight for the passage OF this
bill. All kinds of stories have been told
about its methods with the legislature,
and of the almost certainty that they
would succeed, intimating that the Spring
field legislature was not entirely above
corruption The bill was not passed yes
terday, and seems TO be practically dead
though there is to be re-hearing
This defeat seems 20 mark an epoch in
the history of the company There are many
shrewd people who believe that the stock is
done rising for the present, and will from
now on have downward course. / quote
what Mr.. Robert Lindblom, George w
Silsby's correspondent, has TO say On this
matter, and it is most interesting coming
from a man OH the scene. Yesterday after
noon, after the defeat OF the bill, Mr. Lind
blum wired Silsby:
The failure to pass the corrupt Gas Con-
solidation bill had a good effect on every
thing except Gas 1t shows that our legis-
lators cannot be bought like cattle. The
book value of Gas is $50 per share. 1t will
gothere, but don't get gay and sell tshort."

a student of the Chicago Gas problem
who has watched the stock and the com
pany for many years tells ME that for
seven years at least, whenever the s;ock
got above 80 it was sold. This III ,ans,
my stock market friend says, that it is
certainly not worth more than that. Now,
this would seem peculiar to people not
familiar with the situation, as Chicago
Gas pays a dividend of per cent "a
year, and certainly a 6percent stock, if
it earns its dividend, should be worth
more than 30. My friend, however, tells
me that there are no trustworthy figures
to show that this is the case. He says that
the company is capitalized way beyond
its value; that the whole plant and mains
complete could be duplicated for from
$4,000, 900 to $4,000, 900. A great

planted one-eighth of an acre in pota-
toes and. after using from the patch
all summer, this fall stored away wv
bushels from it, or at a rate of l,6O0
bushels TO the acre. The yield was so
large that Mr.. Hansen had the two
men who assisted him in digging them,
measure the ground, so as to be exact
in the matter Nine hills Of the pota-
toes filed a two-bushel sack so full
that it could not be tied. The largest
potatoes weighed about seven pounds,
while there were a large number that
weighed over six pounds. Mr. Hansen
says there were few that weighed less
than one and a half pounds. I'VE do
