stock gossip, reported by H Holbert &
Son, bankers and brokers, S41 Robert
building, st. Paul: Strong, Sturgis &
Co. wire us: We have had an uneasy
and unsettled market during the day,
with generally lower prices and a slight
bearish disposition. Upon seeking for a
cause, we must first turn to the Ford
bill, that is regarded as serious mem
ace to the traction stocks and to the ele-
waited roads. 1t is true that the charges
against these franchises under the bill
will not affect them for some months
nor is 1t known what the charges will
be then. Wall street is, however, suspic-
ious and timid, so that the influence has
been serious. The payment to the Span
ish government has been used as a bear
arugment, but we entertain no fears of
gold shipments. In detail, the so-called
heavy sales to realize have been made
in Continental Tobacco and stocks OF
that kind. Shelters have suffered, and
even the Steel shares have participated
although they have been perhaps as
well sustained as any industrial 1t is
our opinion that these latter stocks are
steadily moving into good hands. and
will show very great gains before au-
tumn. Speculation in railroad shares is
almost nil, and activity In them will not
go much beyond the present until the
crop question is settled
