FINANCE AND TRADE
Bears Have an Inning on New
York Stock Board.
THEY FORCE SLlGHP CONCESSIONS
There Was No Great Pressure to
Sell Long Stock.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS


Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, May I3.-The reaction be
gun at the close of yesterdays business was
resumed today, with the result that the en-
tire list made moderate concessions from
early prices The trading was mainly pro-
fessional in character and was the out
come of well-distributed conviction tina;
the rally from last Saturdays collapse had
proceeded far enough
London sent over an irregular range Of
values and reported some realizing in an
ticipation of the triple holiday.
Locally the unsatisfactory crop reports
We're used by certain of the larger opera
tors excuse for the selling. The one
notable development Of the day was the
fact that there was no pressure To sell long
stock. Traders sold and dullneSs invari-
ably followed at the low prices.
Commission houses had been predicting a
reaction since Wednesday morning and ad-
vised clients TO sell for a moderate de-
cline. This advice was never intended 10
be more than for immediate and tempo
rary application. The largest interests are
confident of higher prices later on, but see
no necessity for continually supporting the
market.
The public is expected to come into the
investment department from time to time,
and, under cover of the natural strength.
the manipulative clique may again become
active.
The various underwriting syndicates have
to provide market for their new indus
trials, and before doing so several issues
may be added 10 the dividend list.
1t has become fashionable in certain quar-
tiers to consider the industrial issues as "A
bundle of financial snares but unless much
of the private official information is abso-
lutely false there is an average amount Of
merit in some Of them.
Money is not likely to harden to the ex-
tent of forcing these shares out OF loans
now that the low prices OF last week have
been passed. There will eventually be an
OVERRIDING of this industrial speculation. but
it is hardly likely to come while contracts
are coming in at the present rate.
With an adverse, though perhaps tempo
rary, crop situation il would be entirely
natural to see activity center in Industrial
properties The lower priced preferred
shares of the railroads should he attractive
to new operators, as there is much pros
pective merit in this class of stocks,
There Is an abundance of confidence in
another year of prosperity. and these issues
should attract fair proportion of the car
rying business. There is no Letter wheat
rush this year, and the train load avera ge
will fall off by comparison for a few weeks
longer, but the summer movement should
be normal and not discouragiEg to share
holders.

REMOVED TO BALTIMORE.
Alleged Participant in Siideii Murder
Transferred From Rockville.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, May 19.-Johr Alfred
Brown. the negro who was arrested the
morning of the Slidell tragedy on suspicion
of connection with the crime, was last
night takeA from the Rockville jail and
conveyed to Baltimore. where he was
placed in jail there. Why the man was
removed to Baltimore is not positively
Known. Sheriff Thompson has all along
been of the opinion that Brown was i'm
plcated in the assault upon the Rosen-
stems, and as the developments of the past
few days seem to give color to the sus-
picion his action In removing the prisoner
to Baltimore may have been prompted by
the belief that in the event OF further eEi-
dence being obtained against him he would
not be safe in the jail at Rockville.
The stories which have gone out that
threats have been made to lynch Brown
were entirely without foundation. 1t IS
said that if evidence of a more convincing
nature Is obtained against him the grand
jury will be reassembled and the trial
promptly follow upon the finding of an in
dictment
Speedy action by the court would satisfy
the people and as the opinion is growing
that such action will be taken if future de-
yeiopments Justify ii, the people seem to
have no disposition to interfere

ORDER APPROVED.
Plans for Jubilee Stands Must Be Sub
mitted to Inspector.

The inspector of buildings recently re-
quested the District Commissioners to in
struct him rs to what action he should
take relative to the construction of obser-
walton stands upon the sidewalks on Penn
sylvania avenue and other thoroughfares
along the line of the peace jubilee parade
for the use of the owners of the AUDITING
property He explained that if the Com
missioners deemed it expedient to permit
the privileges heretofore granted for re-
viewing the inaugural ceremonies he would
suggest that the following order be made
applicable: -
No such stand shall be erected until the
plans for the same have been approved by
the inspector of buildings and a permit for
such construction issued by that officer.
No stand shall be occupied until said in
spector has approved its construction and
given a certificate as to its safety Stands
in front of buildings shall not extend more
than eight feet beyond the building line
and their floors shall not be less than eight
feet above the sidewalk. All balconies for
said purpose must be secured as directed
by the Inspector of buildings"
This suggestion of the inspector of build
ings has been approved by the Commission
ers, and the rules mentioned above will
govern the construction and occupancy of
all such stands.

ALASkA'S TRUE BOUNDARY
Americans on the Joint Commission Invited
to Skaguay.
People There Anxious to Have Ameri-
can Claims Maintained to
the Utmost.

Each of the members of the American
branch of the joint high commission has
received a handsomely prepared invitation
from the chamber of commerce of Skaguay.
through its president to visit that port and
see for themselves the conditions. The invi-
tation recites in strong language the de-
sire of the people of Skaguay to have the
commission maintain to the utmost the
claims of the United States to every foot of
territory within the thirty miles lying be
tween the sea and the boundary line, as it
has heretofore been recognized The invita-
ton has made an impression upon some
members of the commission, because of the
earnest expression of the determination to
maintain American rights to the utmost.
For thing, it Is taken completely
negativing the statement published some
time ago to the effect that a majority of
the people of Ska quay are DESTROYS of an
neXation to Canada
1t will not be possible for the commission
to accept these invitations in a body, and,
indeed it is likely that the representation
of the commission will bf confined to Sen
ator Fairbanks, the president, and perhaps
Representative Payne of New York.
There is every indication of the absolute
and final determination of the American
commissioners to uphold this view Of the
proper boundary line set out by the people
of Skaguay, if the boundary question Is 10
be retained as one of the subjects for the
action of the joint commission
1t has come to that pass in the negotia-
items now going on in London between Lord
Salisbury and Sir Julian Pauncefote on the
one side and Ambassador Choate on the
other that the reass embling of the joint
commission depends entirely upon the dis
position made of this Alaskan boundary
question. When the commission adjourned
last winter it was because the two branch hes
were unable to agree upon II.
The Americans finally proposed to drop
the boundary question entirely as sub
ject for consideration by the commission,
leaving 1t to be adjusted by ordinary Dip
lomatc me thOds, or by arbitration. The
Canadians refused to consent to the separa-
ton of this question from the others.
Therefore, the adjournment followed, and
it Is necessary for the United States and
Great Britain to agree upon one of two
courses before the commission meets again
either by mutual agreement the boundary
question must be withdrawn as a subject
for onsidaraton, or the two nations must
settle it outright themselves before the com
mission meets. The negotiations now in
progress ara directed to securing one Of
these results.

Orr EXPORTS TO CHINA.
They Will BE Larger This Fiscal Year
Than Ever before.

Exports Of merchandise from the United
States to China in The fiscal year about TO
end will be larger than those Of any pre-
cedins year in history. \ decade ago the
exports To China were less than $S.UOu.O,D
and to China and Hongkong combined were
little over $G.oOuWsL In the fiscal year 1879
the exports to China viii he more than
$l%HI.tan. and to Hongkong more than
>''nrhV" making a total to China and
HouFkouS of over S2u.osD.ot0 or more than
three times much as that of a decade
earlier That the bulk Of the exports to
Hongkong may properly he considered as
ultimately destined for consumption in
nina Is shown by the fact that the official
reports OF the imports into China show
That over ~ per cent Of their imports are
from the port Of HongkouE- The 1899 ex-
ports to China and Hougktng combined
viii show "a gain Of nearly or quite - per
cent over those of last year while the ;0taI
exports from the United States for the
fiscal yea 1893 will be little il any. in ex-
erss uf those Of last year, thus showing a
more rapid growth in our exports to this
particular part OF the world than else
