Senator Morgan has carried his Nicarag-
bill triumphantly through the Senate
with only six dissenting votes. 1t gives the
Maritime Company $1,000 900 for its fran
chise and property, and provides that the
United States shall expend total of $115-
100000 in building canal. The result
shows, in a striking light. the engineering
capacity Of the Senator from Alabama. II
is not believed that the canal bill can be
forced through the House so easily.

which values were marked. The pro-
fessional operators who have been buy
ing stocks in the last few days met TINS
demand with sales to realize. After this
trading had been concluded, it looked as
though the large operators who nave
started to buy stocks in the last few days
were indisposed to pursue their actlvl-
ties and the market began to sag OH light
transactions. The low point was reach
ed Just before the publication of the
bank statement, when prices in many
cases were below last nights level.
American Steel and Wire, American
Sugar. Atchison preferred. st. Louis and
Southwestern preferred, Brooklyn Rapid
Transit and Manhattan were the sever
est sufferers from the reaction. The eX-
pcrts had figured that the bank state
ment would show Il decrease of 5000
600 in cash holdings. although it was
known that only 81, 10000 of the week
gold shipments would figure i'll the state
ment The losses of the banks to tine
Sub-TreaSuIy were expected 20 be heavy.
Instead of this there was a decrease III
cash of more than Il million and Il half
and the liberal expansion in loans of
over S10,000,000 was evidence of the
easy feeling of bankers over the ont
look for money Prices of stocks hard
ened as Il consequence and recovered
most of the earlier Decline American
Sugar touched the top price for the day,
and Consolidated Gas rose about 80
points. Pennsylvania was consistently
strong throughout on the selection of the
new president and St Paul enjoyed the
benefit Of it's increase of S102.00O IN
gross earnings for the first week in June.
The bull leaders are undoubtedly count
ing on the favorable effect to be produced
by coming reports of railroad earnings
which, for the next few weeks, will
compare with the period last year whPns
the Letter wheat deal reached its col
lapse, the price of wheat suddenly
dropped and the movement of grain, and
consequently the earnings of railroads
had the only notable Set-back of the
year.
The bull movement sought to be in
augurated yesterday in American Steel
and Wire proved abortive. and the stock
failed to rally from it's weakness to-day
American Sugar was comparatively
quiet, but resisted all attempts to force
it down. The selling for London ac-
count because of the Transvaal crisis
was ignored.
In the bond market there has been
some increase of activity i'm the latter
part of the week and an Improvement
