THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York. June 29.-The stock mar
ket showed the effect of continued prof
it-taking today. Most of the traders
came TO the board room this morning

a time to refute the position of the

sterling exchange, the bears gained re-

There is a contradiction difficult to
explain in the facts that the needs of
the London money market are respon-
sible for the drain of gold from New
York with its deleterious effect on
stock values in this market, while the

the money strirgeEcy there, was about
The only factor of strength in New
York's stock market this morning. The
weekly statement of the Bank of Eng
land shows hat the bank has succeed
about $500, 600 during the week, while
the demands upon it by the money
market incident to the stock exchange
settlement, have resulted in the mean
time in an expansion in its loans of
over $4,000, 900.
The proportion of reserve to liability
is thus reduced from 4244 to 1888 per
cent. a very striking change in view
Of the widely expressed uneasiness in
England over the present low stage Of
the banks gold reserve. The fall in
British consols Of SIG was due to cash
sales, probably connected with the
state Of the banks reserve. That the
return did not have a greater effect on
the London stock market was probably
due to a reassUring opinion of the Brit
ish chancellor of the exchequer, ex-
pressed last night, on the subject of
the reserve of the Bank of England.

How American Steel
and Wire Common
Was Doomed.
WHY NO DIVY WAS DECLARED
Federal Steel Injunction
Turned the
Trick.

Here is an inside story that will in
terest Worcester investors, of the rea-
son for not declaring a dividend on the
common stock of American Steel and
Wire last week.
1t only bears out the general belief
that has maintained among the stock
holders, and it carries out fully the
predictions made by The Spy long be-
fore the meeting of the directors.
The story may be depended upon. 1t
is told by one prominently identified
with the Federal Steel Company, whose
name is withheld for obvious reasons.
Here is what he says
THE injunction preventing the pay
ment of the Federal Steel common stock
dividend was nothing more or less than
a Wall street trick, perpetrated by in
terests identified with the American
Steel and Wire Company. Certain di-
rectors of the Steel and Wire
Company among the largest own
ers of the stock announced
when the stock was first brought into
Wall street that the company was
earning over Is per cent on the COM
mon stock, and that a dividend would
be paid. This influenced buying of the
stock, and 1t was soon quoted in the
Cos when the insiders sold out. Then,
with the idea of getting it back, they
put up the scheme of preventing the
payment of the Federal Steel dividend
by getting an injunction. thus giving
an excuse for not declaring an Ameri-
can Steel and Wire dividend"
