that the money situation is improving. In
view of the loss of money To the Sub

tory. The statement next Saturday is like
ly to show material alterations in the chief

Other stocks to be pressed for sale on ac-

Third Avenue Railroad stock advanced.
The upward turn in this stock was ascribed
TO the possibility of its obtaining the fran

The action of the stock market yesterday
was disappointing TO the street generally,
which had expected TO see good buying and
advancing prices all over the list The
news OF the day was nearly all good, IN
Guiding the bank statement, which was one
OF the best OF the spring. The tendency
O; the market during the latter part OF the
week had been upward, though there had
been no advances in prices worth mention
ing. The look CT the buying was that the
leaders were getting ready for good
boom. In the face of these matters prices
Yesterday opened of and continued 10 de-
cline all day in many stocks, so that the
net change for the day was fractional
loss. After the favorable bank statement
there was some hope on the part OF the
bulls that the situation would improve, but
instead the selling was even more free
than before. and the decline sharper. The
close was at the lowest prices for the day.
The street is inclined to attribute the en-
tire change in tone of the market to the
effect of the passage of the Ford tax bill
by the New York Legislature. During the
last hour of the session, on Friday. the
Legislature adopted the measure, which
has been so much talked of by New York
psople for several days. imposing tax
on all the big public corporations OF the
State. This Law will increase tie revenues
of the State and decrease the tax on rea
estate in all probability, and is therefore
considered an excellent law by nearly the
entire population, not only of the city, but
OF the State. IL is difficult TO estimate
with any accuracy the size of the burden
that the different corporations will b;
forced to carry. II the tax is paid. hui
there was disposition last night TO mini
mize the importance OF the measure as s
bear argument on the stocks of the rail-
roads and gas companies. 1t seems prob
able that the declines made by these stock
yesterday will be sufficient TO make then
attractive purchases tomorrow. II THU
theory is the correct one, the market gen.
orally should have a rally Immediately o.
soon after the opening at farthest. Th'
street is still bullish in its predictions, ant
with reason, as the entire situation is nov
most favorable to the advance OF prices.

The advance in Mergenthaler Linotype
has been in every way a sensation. The
price of this stock month ago was 1874. A
week ago it was 1874. Yesterday 1t went as
high as 225, and a large number OF sales
were made around 900. The Significance of
this advance is particularly great on ac-
count OF the very large amount of the stock
OF the company held in this city. II is
probable that the value OF Mergenthaler
stock owned by Washington people exceeds
that of any stock Of a local corporation
The 80. coo or more shares of Mergenthaler
owned by local people have had an advance

earnings Of the company and the prospect
that they will continue to increase for
many years TO come seem to be the suffi-
cient reason for the recently awakened in
terest in the stock. Mergenthaler has had
peculiar record since 1t began to ad

stocks during the past week is considered
one OF the significant features of the local
security situation. As will be noted by
the table above, the jumps made by some
of the bank securities have been tremen-
dous. The banks will have the handling
of the big amount of money that the syn
dictate will pay TO local people. and shrewd
buyers of these stocks seem TO have realized
this fact. In addition to this one matter,
the faith in the general increase in bust
ness activity is shown. 1t is believed that
the top prices for many of the bank stocks
have not yet been reached.

some of the insurance companies are losing
money. This fact is known to insiders, and
it has prevented large buying or demand
for their stocks. There is a rumor on
the street that two or more of the COM

the heavy buying of Peoples and other

a representative of one of the trust COM
