ties. The limitations imposed BY the fed
eral constitution forbid any control of corr
porations by Congress or the executive
such as would do away with the evils Of
monopolistic combination. But protective
duties can be lowered or abolished This
is something Congress can do. Some Of
the largest and most powerful of the
trusts would find it difficult if not impos-
sible to hold together or at any rate would
be unable to uphold exorbitant prices, if
they were not shielded behind high pro-
tective tariff duties upon competitive prod
ucts coming from abroad. The protective
tariff is the mainstay of such corporations,
and SO the revision of the tariff is bound
up with any effective legislation dealing
with the trust evil.

NEW YORK, June n. Stocks The
board room of the stock exchange was
almost deserted to-day and there SEEM
ed to be an absolute lack of buying de-
mand, so that even insignificant offer
ings carried the level of prices down

present were disposed to sell stocks in
anticipation of the unfavorable bank
statement and on the general principle
that prices will yield i'll a dull market.
An idea of the narrowness of the mar
ket is given by the fact that during the
first hour there were just two tran
sactions recorded in St. Paul, which
was the more notable because of its
good statement of gross earnings for
the second week in June. The buying

persisted in for the last few days IN
face of the dullness in the rest OF the
market was abandoned and these
stocks were allowed to drift down.

American Steel & Wire fell away rath-
er sharply with the reports of a dis
pute amongst the directors as to the
payment of dividend on the common
stock. There. were rather sharp loss

afterwards partly recovered. The bad
bank statement brought little selling
and the traders covered short con-
tracts, causing rally. Net changes
are unimportant in nearly all cases, as

ers brought prices back to about the
