Judgment against the plaintiu does NOT

tale. but one that was we'll corroborated
and replete with details. BY several
witnesses IL was stated that an under
taker named Marren illegally secured
the funerals OF all bodies taken 10
Harlem hospital. and that he was en-
abled TO do this by bribing clerks i'm the
employ Of the city to break the rules.
II was also shown that, apparently, an
acquaintanceship existed between Mar

other effort was made to get Bookmaker
Mahoney TO acknowledge that he was
connected with poolrooms. but this w.t.
ness added nothing but little mirth To
the proceedings. though he refused TO
deny many accusations made against
him The old question of sewer pipe
and the connection between the Con-
tractors Supply company and the city
departments was gone into, but the

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Stocks, Money, Exchange. Bonds, Grain,

New York. May 31.-There was q re-
crudescence of bear sentiment on the
Stock Exchange to-day IN more for
midable array than at any time hith-
erto since the spring reactionary per-
Tod has been in force. This sentiment
met Il decisive check after Mr.. Flower s
death, when the most powerful finan-
cial interests in the country combined
to support prices and avert q panic. 1t
had but newly inaugurated Il campaign
last week when the decision to close the
exchange for three days left the lead
ers In rather timid frame of mind about
carrying short contracts over for so
long period. To-day's slump in prices
seemed to be distinctly Il development
of the days operations. Some of the
stocks which suffered most severely in
the later break. showed signs of firm
ness and even of strength in the OPEN
Ing transactions. But signs OF strength
proved to be of short duration and
by noon the bears were in complete
possession of the field.
Early declines were obviously due to
manipulation, but as the bears gain
ed courage and assurance and extend
cd their raid they got richer and richer
returns. and before the day was over
the general process of liquidation of
long accounts had set in.
The decline seemed to be a general
ncquiescence in the view of the bear
party that prices were as a whole I'M
duly high and that lower level of val
ues must be accepted. The belief that
gold exports are unavoidable and prob
ably imminent, played an important
part in the reactionary temper of the
street. With sterling exchange at 4.SS

port movement of gold is to he avoid

the circumstances should excite alarm.
