best judges of the market are to be be-
lieved. They state that manipulation is
the cause of the present declines in the
grangers, and not any actual prospect o.
poor earnings for the roads.
The earnings of the railroads generally
for the month of March both gross and
net, show large increases over even the
phenomenal figures of 1898. This is net
in keeping with the argument of the bears
that the railroads are not prosperous bit
it is fact. One of the Wall street papers,
supposed to be an unofficial organ for Mr..
Keene, every day prints IN It's first col
umn a bear argument on railroad stocks,
predicting much lower prices. Yesterday
this journal printed in another column op-
posite TO its bear argument the showing
made by the railroads in March. 1t was
a wonderful statement of bull facts on
which to base bear theories.
Peoples Gas has been uniformly the
strongest of the Flower stocks, since the
death of that gentleman. 1t went off 10
101, and recovered nearly all of its loss in
three days. Better than that, however, it
has had very little reaction since the ad-
vance. The closing price yesterday was
11S 3-S. 1t is said that the earnings of
the company have been largely increased
recently from the much more general use
of gas for fuel, and that the prospect for
an even better showing in the future in
this respect is excellent. The Flower
people are apparently giving this stock
more active support than any other of the
Flower group.

Next to Sugar the New York corporation
stocks were the most active yesterday,
with periods of great strength and OF most
disappointing weakness. The total of the
days movements in these stocks resulted
in decline for Brooklyn Rapid Transit
and gain in Metropolitan Traction, Man
haitian and Consolidated Gas. On the
whole the result was disappointing TO the
street which had expected good gains in
this group on the better outlook for the
amendment of the Ford bill Brooklyn es-
peciaIly was weak and subject to bear at
tack in the afternoon This was most
surprising to the bulls, who had talked
during the morning Of big advances, for
the stock on account of the great increases
in the roads earnings this week. Despite
the weakness of these stocks well inform
ed people continue to predict that they
will be selling much higher in the near
future.

Sugar was the feature of the day with a
squirt of four points and more from the
low price of the morning to above l63, the
highest price since the break several
weeks ago, and later a quick decline IN
which all the gain was lost The street has
absolutely no knowledge of the sugar war
and nothing on which to base predictions
for or against continuance of the advance
in the stock There was nothing particu-
larly attractive in the movement OF the
stock, taken as a whole. yesterday. Tne
early buying was heavy and effective while
it lasted 1t was supposed to come from
Boston, and rumor credited Mr.. Lawson
with large part OF the purchases. 1t was
said that he was giving Mr. keene twist.
OF a sudden the buying OF large blocks
at advancing prices ceased and selling OF
the samesexcellent strength took its place.
Then the street was at sea again. De-
clines of half point at a time occurred.
The close was at 15S II, only Ia above
the lowest price for the day. Mr. Law
son is still quoted as being very builish
regarding the stock, and his friends talk
of 40 for it this week. 1t is said that
he represents a pool of the heaviest people
in the country, and that they intend TO
secure a large part of the stock OF the
company before the announcement of the
sugar war is over The ordinary specu!a-
tor would care little what the truth of the
situation is except that the bears take ad-
vantage of every weakness of Sugar 20

strength in the early part of the day un-
der the leadership of Sugar, and later
gradual decline TO prices as low as those
of Monday, the close being at the bottom,
with no support apparent. There was at
times good buying as prices went off, but
it was apparently not TO support the mar
ket, but rather simply to get stock at the
lower level The outlook is excellent for
a revival at any time in the near future
but it is confessed by the bulls that it
may not come today or tomorrow. There
is a large party which sells stocks at every
advance. and the leaders seem 10 be will
ling to allow them to have their way for
the time being The bears will be caught
in bad scrape when the leaders begin to
buy stocks heavily, according to the opin-
ion of careful market critics. 1t would not
be a surprise to the street if prices open
off this morning and go point or two
lower before they rally. The selling at
the close yesterday was heavy and of 2
kind that usually induces realizing on the
the morning following.

Officials to Begin CRU
snde Against had Meat.

special to the Philadelphia Press from
Plttsburg yesterday says:
Food and Dairy Commissioner Levi Wells
who is I'm the city. stated tonight that tho
prosecution Of butchers selling eguhalued
beef in Pennsylvania would be pushed Wig
orously.
According to the commissioner further
revelations of a sensational character are
on tap.
I'VE have found" said Mr. Wells. That
not only has beef which was brought into
the state IN doctored condition been sal1.
but that butchers themselves have been
buying chemicals for preserving PURPOSES.
and have been using them to frCshen up
old meat and color II.
We came upon this fact in Philadelphia,
and It has doubtless extended over the en-
tire state. Chemical companies have had
agents travelling regularly In the state SELL
ing the stun to butchers
Il suppose that II was used Oh meat
which remained unsold. and which. " not
treated. would have become dad loss.
Very likely the butchers simply went 10
work and put on the preserving fluid. which
would darken the meat, and then ground Il
up for sausage.
"Boracic acid seems "a have beeu the
favorite article II is certainly deleierlous
To health and there Is plenty Of law IN the
state to stop the sale Of such meat.
Il have secured samples Of the stun
which has been used by Philadelphia butch
ers- The packages which contained the
chemicals are labeled. telling how The stun
Is to be used on meat
81 would not Ike TO say that al the pack
ing firms doctor their beef but thee las
undoubtedly been much Of ;hat scrt Of
thing going on The inquiry into I've meat
furnished to our soldiers Is pretty ConclG-
sive on that point.
I'VE expect to enter suits in Philadelphia
in the near future against butchers who
have been using these chemicals them
selves. We had great difficulty in getting
samples of the stuff. and finally secured
them from butchers who did not use them
and We're actuated by the desire to do away
with the unjust competition Of butchers
who did use them.
The new butter laws which have been
passed will be of great benefit. One OF
them has been needed. This is an act re-
curing butter which has been worked over
a second time to be properly T.arkcd. 1t
has been the practice to buy up all the old
rancid butter which was stored about tho
country and work Il over, This they sold
as fresh creamery butter. The act will re-
quire that all such butter shall be labeled"
