The act provides for payment to those

probabilities are that only those who en-

Wall Street has heard several unpleasant
pieces of news during the past week, and
Il has Interpreted other matters as un-
favorable. The bears have worked hard
every day, and have circulated stories true
and untrue, to aid their efforts. II is a
matter for careful consideration that in
spite of all these difficulties the level of
prices in stocks and especially in railroad
securities has suffered very little If any.
The news OF the winter wheat crop has
been the worst yet published, and il is
now estimated by conservative people that
the yield will be at least 100000, 600 bush
els less than that OF last year. The Ford
bill has become law, and for the present
ct least must be considered as making
possible heavy taxation of the New York
State corporations. The gas war in New
York city with the Ford bill has caused the
Consolidated Gas Company TO reduce its
dividend rate from per cent TO per cent.
The rumors regarding the sugar war have
been OF all kinds, but during the past two
days have tended more toward pessimism

Chicago, May 27.-There was little fur
ther decline in wheat early from the
bearish impetus the market had Friday
On the decline the best local interests be-
came buyers. There is no change in the
news situation The winter wheat is con-
tinually losing ground, but the cash posi-
ton is persistently discouraging and the
Northwest is anticipating a large spring
wheat yield. The past week arrivals at
Minneapolis and Duluth have been double
those of the week previous, a result of the
advance in prices early in the week To-
days Northwest cars are almost double
those of last Saturday, and considerably
over last years. The most important in
fiuence in corn is the enormous area with
which the crop starts, several million
acres over the record breaking one of 1895.
This is certain to make the market a
dragging one unless there is some mishap
to the crop. Gables were I'D lower.
while the West is wet. There are MANY
who consider it a good fault.

Atchson preferred was one of the strong
est stocks on the list yesterday, as was
to have been expected after the publication
of its April statement The net earnings
of the company for April swell the total
income over operations to more than
$9,G00000. gain for this period of
$l.225,0O0. This rate of income for the year
would give total of so, 500. 600, only two
months still remaining to be heard from.
The entire interest charges and other de-
ductions to be made from this income for
the year will be considerably less than
81 900 600, leaving clear for the preferred
stock about s4006,G06. This is a trifie less
than per cent. 1t is announced semi
officially that the dividend to be declared
in July will be at least l per cent, and
possibly / 1-2. The showing OF this April
statement is an excellent one in every way.
II indicates for one thing that the company
is to be managed in the future in an eco

There is as yet, however, no reason to
become pessimistic regarding the prospects
Of the chief industrial securities, and es-
pecially the steel and iron stocks. The re-
cent declines in these securities and in the
New York State corporation securities can
be Interpreted in more than one way. These
stocks are the most easily moved. They
are hammered down easily and they recov-
er quickly. The bear news of the week
has all been of the character that produces
quick effects and il has nearly all affected
these securities directly and particularly.
II is thought that they may hesitate some
what longer than the railroad stocks be-
fore they begin their upward movement,
but if the ideas entertained by Mr.. Flower
and by the Standard Oil people and the
others are the correct ones the advance
is certain to come. The Ford bill is un-
doubtedly a dampener in its effect but it
will be long time before any taxes can
be collected under il. Meanwhile the New
York street railways will continue TO make
their marvellous earnings statements. 1t
is not doubted that under any tax law
that will stand the test of the courts all
of these companies Will be able to earn
their way handsomely. AS to the steel
and iron stocks there has been heavy lioui-
dation in this group recently in the West

that were for sale have all been marketed
