MARKET NOTES.

The worlds sugar crop for the cur
rent year is estimated at an increase
of about $4,000 tons over that of last
year. The increase in consumption, it
is thought will reach 900 tons, 50
that the reserves of some 100000 tons
will be decreased about u.
The street is working itself up to
such a bearish frame of mind that
stocks ought to be bought on spots.
Continued apathy characterizes the
copper market, and the large interests
are not heavy buyers.
Some close observers of the market
believe that the short interest is grow
ing, and that the foundations are being
laid for a vigorous upward movement.
Federal Steel recovered quickly
from the severe depression on orders
apparently from inside sources. The
policy of the management is stated to
be already outlined with respect to i'm
mediate dividends on the common.
The selling of B. r. T. is attracting
more attention than the buying at
present. The usual inside interests are
not aggressive in their support of the
price while the pressure to sell is ag-
gressive and persistent.
A dispatch from Butte states that
Montana intends to increase its annual
output from 100000 900 to 100000 900 lbs
of copper at once; that Improvements
at the smelters will increase the ca
pacity of each department so p. c., and
that in the district rs p. c. more men
will be employed in the mines before
fall.
The Cincinnati Barbed Wire Fence
Works, absorbed recently by the Amer
lean Steel and Wire Company closed
yesterday, and the shops will be shut
up entirely by tomorrow night. Fully
500 men win be turned out of employ
ment. The works are situated at Fair
mount on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton railroad, and for twenty years
have been run without the loss of a
day. The payrolls amounted to $4,000
a week, and the loss Of the mems
wages will be felt by the business peo-
pie in Paramount and Camp Washing
ton. The concern supplied a large por-
tion Of the western trade.
Amalgamated Copper is a sure thing
for a man to buy. 1t may not go up in
a week, but in time, sure. Then, if
Montana is to be exchanged / share
for Az in Amalgamated Montana must
be a great purchase at anything like
the present prices. fully believe that
is the arrangement regarding Mon
tana, and that it viii be announced as
soon as the Amalgamated people get
their second subscription provided for.
They own about 1-3 of Montana, and
they have got to have the mine to
make their Butte consolidation effec-
tive.
The Trust Company of America, just
organized in New York, will have ST.
100000 in capital stock and paid-up
surplus of $2,500,000. The capital was
oversubscribed more than three times.
Its organizers aimed at avoiding a CEN
tralization of financial control, and in
allotting subscriptions accepted enough
to float the scheme from exactly fifty
cities in the United States. To no one
will more than $4,000 in stock or sur
plus be allotted. The plan of the
company has not been fully outlined,
but it is generally believed that it will
be trust company Of trust companies,
and as such a clearing house for them.

LAMSON RISES FOUR POINTS.

A dull and irregular movement char
acterized the opening of the Wall
street stock market yesterday.
Sugar Refining shares attracted the
most attention and led in point Of ac-
tivity. At the start there were heavy
sales, which depressed the price three
points, but smart rally followed and
by early afternoon the shares were sell
ing five points above the low figures
Of the morning. The stock sagged off
later on realizating sales. The general
market presented no other special fea-
ture. Traders We'd with one another
in scalping fractional profits.
There was no news of Importance to
influence the trading, and the short in
terest undoubtedly acted as a good sup
port to prices. At least no new buying
was noticed, yet the undertone was
firm. Railroad stocks advanced frac-
tionally on a little London buying and
covering by traders. Traction stocks
were featureless, except for firmness in
Metropolitan. Among the specialties
Rubber was firm on what was thought
to be inside buying. The early break
in Sugar impaired weakness to the gen
eral list. The selling movement was
soon checked, large purchases of New
York municipal stocks reviVing conf
dence In the rest of the list CONSOLE
dated Gas sold up 6 points and Man
haitian and points. Later some OF
the leaders worked lower on offerings
by the professionals, but the general
t4rn l.
paired. A few inactive stocks made
conspicuous gains, Air Brake figuring
for and Third Avenue 81 points
Trading in bonds was small and prices
little changed.
In the Boston board Lamson Store
Service was the leading feature, rising
four points to As, the highest price in
a decade There were well-founded re-
ports that a consolidation is to be af-
fected with the Pneumatic Tube Com
pany. which will give the Lamson
stockholders valuable rights. Dominion
Coal was heavy, selling off from Sc to
IS, with X, recovery. Chicago Stock
Yards, after advancing L to 1853, sold of
to 800 rallying to 1919, while the pre-
ferred gained ] to 1870. The new Anal
gamated was weak, selling down from
101k to 1917, and one quarter of one
per cent was bid to put it at 30 for
Sixty days. DOHaILd was III ANiAieiAN a
S7k, a small lot selling at on the rumol

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, May 2S.--Neglect of the
stock market by the outside public
continued to be the marked feature of
today's trading, and as is usual in a
narrow market, prices drifted unevenly
up and down, following the cratic
movements Of special stocks. Dealings
were evidently almost wholly confined
to the professional element who seek
profits on a days turn in prices. AS
this class Of dealers watch pretty
closely what other people are doing
and proceed to do likewise, the net ef-
feet in a days business or taking one
day with another is not large. Yester-
days late upward movement was fol-
lowed by a realizing this morning, and
later by sharp advance which was
practically wiped out before the close.
Sugar was the centre Of interest in
the market, and rebounded strongly
from the early pressure together with
the affiliated glucose stocks. But real
izing took off all the early gain and
left it at the last five points below the
highest and near the low point of the
day. The early rise In Sugar was ac-
companied by a strong rally in the
New York municipal stocks, Consol-
dated Gas and Manhattan rising two
to four points. This concurrent move
ment in the leading specialties gave an
appearance OF strength in the market
for time, and railroad stocks Joined
IN the upward movement. Weakness
in wheat and especially the reported
selling from the southwest helped this
movement, but the persistent reports
Of insect damage and news from
abroad that American wheat was prac-
/ tically unsaleable at present prices
helped to the late break in the grangers
and Southwesterns. There was a
growth of uneasiness over the persist
ent hardening tendency of foreign ex-
change. The actual rate for demand
sterling touched $4S7% today, which is
near the gold export point.
The continuing ease in money sug-
gests that the method employed to
| finance the Philippine payment to
/ Spain has forced something Of a re-
/ dundancy in the local money market
/ resulting in the rather artificial stiff
/ ness of exchange rates. Exchange on

WAS HE BRUTAL P
Young Man Struck over the Head Three
Times by officer Rogers.

William Conley, a young fellow
weighing about 1875 pounds, was brought
into station / last night about 1O.45
o'clock with his head badly battered
and he was in such bad shape that DR..
Clark, the city physician, was called
and took five stitches in his head. He
was hit three times by a policeman's
billy and had three distinct scalp
wounds.
According to officer Rogers, who
made the arrest and whose billy was
responsible for the condition of Conley's
head, Conley interfered with him when
he was sending an old man home, and
after several warnings he was obliged
to arrest him.
COnley's friends on the other hand
state that he was standing on Wash
ington square and Officer Rogers ap-
peared and pushed along an old man
who was standing on the corner. The
old man was feeble and could hardly
keep his feet. He got a second shove
and the officer and he fell to the
ground. Conley spoke up and Officer
Rogers told him to mind his business.
He answered back and the officer made
a rush for him but Conley ran out Of
his way. When he got hold of him
Conley endeavOred to explain his posi-
ton but the officer would not listen to
it and as Conley refused to move the
officer struck him three times on the
head in succession. Any one Of the
blows would have easily suf1iced to
take the fight out of a man. Conley
was booked at Station 1 for drunken
ness.

STRIKE IN CLEVELAND.
Street Car Employees Quit Work and Car S
Stand Still.

Cleveland, June 10.-At 4 o'clock this
morning the motormen and conductors
of the Cleveland Electric Railway Com
pany declared a strike, tying up the
entire system including the Euclid,
Wade park, Cedar, Central scoyille,
Wilson, Broadway, Jennings and Brook
Iyn lines. ...
Not car viii be run on any Of the
lines of the big Consolidated today if
the men can help it. .-- n->s,
The employees want first, the recog-
milton by the company of their union,
which is a part OF the -Amalgamated
Association of Street Railway EN-
ployees of America.
Secondly, they want a board of arbi-
tration to pass upon alleged violation
of company rules when a man is
charged with violating these rules and
the unions officers and the. company's
management disagree upon the dispo-
sition of his case.
They want summary dismissals for
causes not clearly apparent to them
stopped. The men charge that there
have been numerous discharges for tri-
fling offenses.
The real fight is over the recognition
of the union. About 900 men are now
out.
On Ontario street, at 4.42 p, M, Will
liam Stoffin, division superintendent Of
the Big Consolidated road was serious
ly injured by being hit on the head with
bottle thrown by one in the crowd
while he was trying to move a car
which had been disabled by a mob The
wounded man was taken to his home
in an unconscious condition.
