TAGE OF OPENINGS
TOBACCO TOOK A SLUMP
Attack Was Also Made Upon the
nOuncement of the New COmb ina-
LONESOME of the Leading Rail-
road Securities Were Among the
Stocks That Lost During Session.

NEW YORK, June N-Transactions in
stocks were of paltry proportions, but
this did not preclude some pretty wide
movements of prices. In fact the lethar-
gy of the speculation left the market vul-
nerable at every spot where genuine
liquidation was thrown upon it, Such
liquidation was undoubtedly made in all
of the Tobacco stocks American To-
bacco suffered most severely, the eX-
IRENE decline being 7%. Continental To-
bacco dropped an extreme of s points
and the preferred 4. Very heavy blocks
of all three stocks, running from 1000 to
5000 shares, changed hands in the course
of the decline, or the hesitating rebound.
The break in these stocks was due to the
rumors which have been persistent for
several days of dissensions In the direc-
tory on a likelihood of a division of re
sources and possibly destructive compe-
tition. Coming on top of the slump of
the last few days in the steel stocks to-
days events added largely to the senti-
ment of disfavor held towards a large
number of industrial stocks. The steel
stocks themselves We're pretty firm, on
account of the official assurance that
the money for the preferred dividend on
Fdereal Steel had been set aside before
the declaration of the dividend on the
common, and also because of q prevalent
belief that Steel and Wire is soon to be
stock exchange, which would necessi-
tate a detailed statement of finances and
earnings.
The announcement of great combi-
nation of the existing spirits and distill-
ing companies was accompanied by
rather striking fall in the stocks of the
constituent companies American Spirits
dropping over points, the preferred IL
and Standard Distilling preferred point,
Notwithstanding the alluring assurance
that the new combination involves a de-
crease of the capitalization outstanding
for the constituent companies. Balti-
more & Ohio dropped off 2 and "a re-
spectively for the common and preferred
on continued large decreases in earnings
shown by the returns. There was a
rather notable advance in the Morgan
group at one time, including c., c., C. &
L. preferred, Hooking Valley preferred
and c. & o. This was followed by an up
ward movement in the Vanderbilts in
Guiding Northwesterns, st. Paul and
Omaha, the New York, Chicago & ST.
Louis stocks and New York Central.
These gains were not well held. Ameri-
can Car stocks and American Smelling

rule, showed small losses.

Weekly N arket Letter.

.CATTLE-Beef cattle have been in very
good demand for the first three days of
the week. with not near enough dry-fed
killing stuff coming in to supply the
trade. Quite a little grassy butcher
stuff has been on the market this week
and the bulk of it sold at prices fully
so cents lower than the same quality
dry-fed cattle.
Good feeding cows are selling at about
the same prices as in the past, $26OQ
800; fair to good Gamers. $2.4OQ2.6O, and
thin, old cows, Sl.50Q2.25.
Stays and stock bulls are selling at
s25oQ3.25, with the market fully so cents
lower except for the very best quality
animals. Choice, fat bulls are In de-
mand at about steady prices, while the
common ones are quite a little lower.
Veal calves have declined to $5.00Q5.5O
for the good ones, and $55Oq5.So Tor the
best quality The market holds up we'll
on the choice mixers and springers, but
there have been a great many old and
common cows on the market this week
and these have been slow sale at any
price.
There has been a heavy slump in the
prices being paid for stock cattle, while
only the very best quality are in demand.
Shippers must be very careful In buying
as they cannot load themselves up with
all kinds of common and off-colored
stuff and ship them in with the expecta-
ton of getting old-time prices. Any
thing desirable and choice viii sell read
lily at about steady prices, while the
common kinds are hard to sell at
price AS the season advances the gain
in flesh and weight will lower the prices
for even the best quality and shippers
will be obliged to watch conditions ana
use good judgment. We look for light
demand for stock cattle during the next
few days. except for the best heifers
and choice. calves.
HOGS-The hog market was shade
higher today at the opening, but weak
ened a little at the close. The bulk OF
the mixed hogs sold at S9.65 and $751;
with a range of SO. 55@3.671A. The butchers
and prime heavy hogs sold at $40 and
$685. Rough sows sold at So 2503.35, and
stays and boars at $1.50d2.0O Pigs, $9.25.
SHEEP-The sheep market holds up
well and during the last two days the
prices paid have been strong. Every
thing, from fair quality up. is in good
demand.
We quote: Fat wethers. S4.50Q475; fat
ewes, $4106465; good spring lambs, $4,000
$50: thin lambs, $.QI4; stock sheep, $50
S75; bucks, $685. old and thin ewes
and bucks are slow sale.

SOUTH DAKOTA CROPS.

BISMARCK N. D., June N.-The week
ly crop bulletin says: The past week
has been a very favorable one for all
crops; the fore part was cool with light
rains, followed by considerably warmer
weather, which has caused a rapid
growth in all vegetation. Some few hail
storms are reported, the heaviest, and
the only one said to have done any dam
age being in Pembina county. The 9TH
ers were in widely scattered sections, but
did not amount to anything. Wheat is
making excellent growth; the cool wealth
er has caused it to stool well, and except
in the lower Red river counties, where
it had been previously reported as I'M
healthy, is making rapid growth, with a
strong, well rooted plant. Oats are in
good condition all over the state: flax
has not all been sown yet, but the most
Of it is in and up, looking vigorous. Bar
ley and rye are doing well; the latter is
beginning to head in some localities.
owing to the continued cool weather and
unusually heavy rains that have prevail
ed. Grass Is unusually thick and heavy,
except in some scattered places, and some
hay has already been put up in the Mis-
souri, valley. Most of the grain is very
weedy especially on old land.
