Heavy Months Clearings.

NEW YORK. June blank clearings, as
reported by Bradstreet for the month of
May, as was to be expected in view of the
better business conditions reported for some
weeks past, show a gain in the aggregate
over that of April and over preceding
months of May for a number of years past.
In fact there is only one May on record, that
of $780, when the total clearings were as
heavy as in the month just closed. The
clearings at seventy-seven cities for the
month show a gain of IA per cent over
April: of Is per cent. over May year ago,
and show a decrease Of only 10 per cent.
from the immense record breaking total of
January this year. Gains were the heaviest
in the grain growing sections and in the
middle States group. The only group show
ing a decline is that of the New England
cities. For the five months of the present
calendar year the total clearings aggre-
gated S27, 446 O00, 900, the heaviest total on
record for the first five months of the year.

THE NEW FREIGHT RATES
TWENTY CENTS PER 100 POUNDS.
CHICAGO TO NEW YORK CITY,
Is Now the Basis for Everything Ex-
= miscellaneous Railway News.

The local freight agents yesterday carried
out the instructions of their superior officers
to terminate all old contracts and restore
rates on all classes of freight except corn
and corn products to the basis of 20 cents
per one hundred pounds, Chicago to New
York, and a determination lis shown to
maintain them at Indianapolis until it is
apparent that Chicago, Peoria and st. Louis
are again shading rates. 1t is believed that
If Chicago can be held in line there will be
no trouble at other points. A falling off in
business is looked for with the restoration
of rates, as many of the shippers have been
pushing shipments before the order of the
Joint Traffic Association became effective.
Light traffic in June is always looked for,
consequently a decrease in business will be
no disappointment

basis of the same differential below the
standard all-rail rates from and to points as

Comiskey's encouragement of his players
in their talk and actions yesterday was
something deplorable. The spectacle of
club owner not only permitting his players
to insult onlookers but also joining in with
coarse remarks of the same sort was never
before witnessed here until yesterday. 1t
is to be hoped that for the sake of the
game. If not for decency, another such ex-
hibiton will never be seen on the Ohio
street grounds. Fortunately there is but
one such team and Comiskey has it.

The Stock Markets.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-speculative attention
was directed to the American Sugar Refining
price Of the various grades of the product
Advtces from the sugar district were that
dealers were holding off in expectation of
further reductions and that lively war In
the trade was looked fer. Wall street re-
ceived the various developments with some
concern, as it was felt that renewed liquida-
ton in Sugar would deprive the market of
the outside support which 1t was now ex-
periencing and that the efforts which were
making to sustain various specialties would
be abandoned. Subsequent developments,
however, served to reassure the Street as
supporting orders were placed all around and
the drop in Sugar Of three points to 112A was
without appreciable effect. The flrmness of
the general market, coupled with open buy
brought about late rally Of two points in
Sugar. Irregularity was quite pronounced
throughout the day, and the list gave little
semblance of strength except for a brief in
terval at the start, and again in the late
session. Absence of q decisive tone led to
the cancellation of some commission house
orders, and London alternately bought and
sold. Local Traction shares displayed a good
tone. Tobacco readily responded either way
Peoples Gas, after period of neglect doomed
in prominence and pounded up two points on
reports of an amicable adjustment of recent
difficulties. Fluctuations in the railway
stocks were confined within narrow limits ex-
cept in one or two cases, Northern Pacific
common making an early conspicuous display
of weakness. improvement In grain prices
coupled with the heavy export demand exer-
cised sustaining influence on the Western
shares, which offset the frequent gyrations
of the specalties. Final dealings were char
acterized by strength, but changes are irreg-
ulaC.
A brisk demand developed for the bond
issues of reorganized properties, and those
in process Of rehabilitation, but realizations
in Denver & Gulf frsts wiped out the i'm
provement established. Total sales, 81, $50, 600
Government bonds were unchanged all around
in bid prices.
