ON CHANGE
Conditions as Shown by Transactions
on Wall Street

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE stock market
showed the same conflicting tendencies as
for several days past but the reactionary
element gained the upper end during the
afternoon and affected sharp declines all
through the list, dsodging quite a large
amount of stock, wiping out the margins
on which 1t was held. There was a signific-
ant period of dullAess, succeeding this lively
selling and then began a quiet and steady
absorption of stocks, offerings being taken
at the ruling prices with an entire absence
of any effort to mark up quotations.
1t was sufficiently evident that the pur-
pose OF the reaction was to secure stocks at
the lower level. There was quite lively
commission hose demand at the opening
which lifted prices of many stocks a small
gressive strength in Brooklyn Transit, the
Reading stokes, Erie first preferred and
some of the lower southwesterns. MetropQ-
itan Street Railway and Consolidated Gas
were also centers of strength. The bears
met this by vigorous attack on Union Pa
cihc preferred Peoples Gas, Louisville and
Nashville and Kansas and Texas preferred,
all of which were driven down between ~
and points. This combination proved yul-
nerable to attack and weakened the market
at its salient points. The recoveries in the
final hour were over a point in a number of
important cases and net changes were
mostly small and losses predomntaied The
war. news was without influence on the
market. London was quite heavy seller
here and was factor in weakening prices
and In giving firm tone to sterling ex-
change. The generalization of wheat prices
may have aided the reaction. The world
heavy receipts of wheat gave rise to qpes-
ton as to whether Americas next crop can
be marketed to the best advantage. AL
though money continues abundant and
cheap, 1t is inevitable that the approaching
government bond issue should absorb
money and harden rates, temporarily at
least.
There was realizing in bonds today in
speculative issues and the tone was heavy.

sales on stop loss orders and on exhausted

AN oBLIGING CONDUCTOR
Holds His Train for Twenty Minutes

There Is no better known local character

county. His inmates call him "Old Crow
1.-The other day." said he to party OF
friends, II boarded a train on a little jerk
water railroad that runs through a near
by territory, to go over the neighboring
town. You know this line doesn't claim
a speed equal to the Empire state express
and the friends Of the officers say they
are satisfied IL the road can clear $40 a day
On the occasion / refer to the wind burner
was nearing my destination when 1t came
to a dead standstill. stuck my head out
of the window to learn the cause of the
stop, and saw the conductor talking to an
old woman, with bonnet and shawl and
Sunday toggery on and a small basket In
hand.
Being curious to know the import of
the dialogue between the two, went for
ward and learned that the woman had
tagged the train for the purpose of get
ting on board and going to town to sell a
dozen eggs She told the conductor, how
ever, that she had only eleven in the bas-
ket at that moment, but that an old blue
hen of hers, then on the nest, was momen-
tarily expected to lay the egg necessary
to complete the dozen; that 1t would be a
great accommodation II he would hold his
train until this should occur. as it would
be a pity to proceed to market with fewer
than dozen eggs. The conductor con-
scented, and then our wait began.
FINALLY, after the lapse of about twenty
minutes, furious cackling was heard
near the womans shanty. A moment later
blue hen fiuttered into view, followed by
the old lady. who came running toward
the cars, smiling and holding aloft in tri-
umph the coveted egg. She placed 1t while
it was yet warm in the basket with the
others. thanked the conductor and clam
bered aboard. Then the train again got
under way."-Louisville Post.

A comparison of the real estate business
done in San Francisco with that done in Los
Angeles during the month of May, 1897,
shows as follows:

AS commentary upon the figures above
given, the following from the current issue
OF Magee & Sons Real Estate Circular
shows the condition of the market there. 1t
says:
City real estate In May was dull and dead.
Inquiry continues mostly for that of which
there Is always but very little for sale
good business property, with the three great
advantages of being central as to location,
steady as to rents and sure to increase in
price. Only for exceptional reasons. not Of
ten occurring, is such property offered for
sale at anything like reasonable prices.
Even in these times of excessive dullness,
few owners will sell such real estate, be-
cause there is nothing is good in which they
can re-invest their money. There are many
buyers, dull as times are, but they want, as
We have said, that which is not now, and
never is, for sale. 1t Is no use to tell buyers
that the property they want to, but cannot,
buy, was once considered so far out that
only one person in ten would buy it.
Market street, southwest of Powell and
Fifth, was so considered twenty to twenty
hve years ago, being then looked upon as
city hail lots, as lots on the southeast side
OF Market between Seventh and Market
now are. No one who, twenty-five years
ago. bought property on Market between
kearney and Powell did as well as those
who. fifteen to twenty years ago. bought
property on that great thoroughfare be-
tween Powell and Jones on ,the one side and
Fifth and Sixth on the other. Prospective
business properties are a buy now. The
majority of people believe that, but still
they do not buy them. Nearly utter want
of faith always characterizes periods of
depression.

Plate Glass Insurance

The plate glass underwriters have agreed
to retain their compact for the time being,
although companies in New York are doing
what they can to protect their business"
ignoring, in many cases. established rates.
One company reports an increase in losses
of 81 900 month, owing in part to the adj
vance in the price of plate glass, most felt,
It is said. at the south and west Rates in the
east are said to average half what was
formerly charged. Business at the west is
still demoralized. and although the presi-
dents agreed some weeks ago to remain in
alliance in the hope that a settlement of
some sort could be brought about. little it
Is said, has been accomplished the COM
panies still being engaged in ruinous COM
petition.
An eastern journal quotes president as
saying: Companies today are observing
the form rather than the spirit of the COM
pact. Our association Is of little value
while such decentralization exists. The sit
uation is different from what 1t was when
the compact was formed there being now
ten plate-glass insurance companies to con-
slider instead of six or seven as formerly.
Much, in my opinion, depends upon the pos
sibilty of bringing every company into al
lance, since it would be difficult to main
tain rates successfully while one large COM
pany was outside We experience these
periods of decentralization every few years
and always find 1t difficult to maintain
rates when business is profitable and the
companies are making money. Last year
we reported large profits; this year we shall
do well to pay losses and clear expenses
