ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
Strength and Weakness Alternated
In Speculative Movements.

| New York, June 16.-Bradstreet' S
financial review tomorrow Will say:
Strength and weakness have alternat-
ed in the weeks speculative move
ments. Manipulation, however, APP
peared to be mainly responsible for the
advances and bear selling and some re-
alizing of profits by traders for the
declines. Professional influences We're
predominant and the public's share in
the purely speculative market cOntin-
ueS TO be small. the confident points
which have been in circulation about
the large interests being committed TO
ele bull side and planning to cause a
further general advance of prices hav-
ing failed to bring on any appreciate
outside participation. The decline in
exchange rates and the checking of
the gold exports have, TO a certain ex-
tent, affected the tone of the market
faVorably.
The investment demand for bonds
and prime investments is the same
large and eager kind heretofore noted.
This week has seen advances in a num-
Der of the higher grades of bond issues,
with new records in the quotations for
them. The same tendency also has an
effect on dividend paying stocks. On
the other hand, uncertainty in regard
to the crops and the outcome as TO
railroad tonnage and earnings is still
sufficiently prominent to exert a restric-
tive influence on speculation. The ir-
regularity in crop estimates, at this
portion of the year, is rather more pro-
nounced than for some seasons past.
and is in many quarters, considered
a good reason for waiting on the part
of the large speculative interests. Some
of the latter have indeed given sup
port to their sDecialties. but others
have been active on the bear side. al
though in all operations of that char
acter at present the disposition is to
cover for small profits.
Europe has not been a factor in our
markets. the London participation be-
ing small here and equally divided be-
tween buying and selling. There have
been no surprises as to earnings or
dividends. although the street is wait
ing developments of some kind in con-
nection with the Vanderbilt properties.
and also hears that favorable results
are to be looked for in regard to the
coal properties.

When a man who is usually lOqua-
cious becomes suddenly silent there is
usually as much anxiety among his
friends as there is in case of sickness
Mr.. Blykins had said nothing for a half
hour, and the people who work in the
same office with him began to exchange
, apprehensive looks and walk on tip
tie. Finally one of them went up to
him and said in a tone of gentle con-
sideration:
Whats the matter, old man; any
thing gone wrong?"
ooh, no. he answered in the voice
of a man who is trying to bear up.
Nothing TO talk about. 1t is the same
old story"
Whenever a man says anything is
the same old story he moves his hearer
to instant and unqualified sympathy 1t
suggests the sweet and patient resig-
nation of which the human mind is
capable only in the presence of great
grief.

"Oh, no. We must get used to such
things in this life. You must expect
have learned to rely-to go back on
you sooner or later. It's the way of the
world"
What has happened?" was the in
quiry, in tone of deep commiseration.
You know Mr.. Welkins?"
"Of course
You remember how he and 1 have
always taken opposing attitudes on the
Sampson Schley case?"
You never talked of anything else
when you met"
Exactly so. 1 met him early this
morning and proceeded, as was my
custom, to abuse his favorite like a
pickpocket for the purpose, of course,
of hearing his views on the other side"
And what did he do?"
HE merely looked up and said: Bly,
kins, my boy. I've been thinking that
matter over and / have come to the
conclusion that you are right. 1 agree
with you perfectly What do you think
of a man, an old friend, who will shut
off favorite topic of conversation in
that manner. But" he added with an
other sigh, its the way of the world"

SPENT MONEY FREELY.
Utah Stockman Has a Good Time In
Butte.

The Butte papers tell of Samuel Faw-
cett, a stockman from Utah, and his
varied experiences in the Montana
town. Fawcett arrived there with a
load of stock, en- route from his Utah
ranch to the Northwest Territory, Can
ada He had plenty of money, appar-
emily, and during his stay of a few
hours, made the acquaintance of one
Joseph Trahant, a resident of the
smoky city, upon whom he simply Law
ished his wealth. buying him drinks
and giving his pickup the price to re-
ciprocate.
Although warned by Enoch Bingham,
who knew Fawcett while here, the lat
ter paid little heed, he and Trahant go
ing on at a reckless pace until time to
continue the journey. While reloading
his cattle, Fawcett was accosted bv
his son for some money, and being
without change, gave Trahant a $40
gold piece to convert into silver at
neighboring saloon. After an hour
Fawcett instituted a search and found
his friend spending the $40 very freely
in a downtown resort. He called two
detectives. VINO captured Tranhant
after hot-foot down Main street. He
was jailed.

FAVoRS THE TRUST.
Has Influenced Conditions For Good
of the Country.

Washington, June 16.-The industrial
commission began its session today by
the examination of James H Post of
Brooklyn, a representative of Mullen
! hauer Sugar company and the National
Sugar company of New York. Mr.. Post,
referring TO a list of sugar prices COW
ering the past nine years, showed that
the margin between raw and refined
sugar had fluctuated with the revis-
ion of the tariff and the entrance of
competing companies in the field. The
standard price of refined sugar. he
said. was fixed daily by the American
Sugar Refining company, and as a
rule these prices We're followed by the
independent refineries. Mr. Post said
that as a general proposition, he
thought the American Sugar Refining
company had Influenced conditions for
the good of the country.
DO you think asked Mr. Ratch-
ford. that it would be u good thing for
the American company TO be in entire
control of the field?"
No" said Mr.. Post. Il think the en-
tire control of an article of universal
consumption in the hands of any one
set of men would be very dangerous

That is what the trust aims at"

THE business might get into the
hands of men not so broad-minded as
Mr.. Havemeyer." replied the witness.
Mr. Post denied that either the Ma
tional or the Mullenhauer companies
were connected in any way with the
American Refining company. At the
present price Of raw sugar the margin
between raw and refined was So cents
per 100 pounds before the refiner be-
gan 10 realize a profit Mr.. Post said
that in past years his refineries have
used Cuban cane sugar almost alto
gether. but since the great reduction in
the Cuban output they had been forced
to rely on European beet sugar, prin-
cipally German and Austrian. The Eu-
ropean refined sugar was cheaper to
produce than the American, but not of
SO good a quality. OF imported raw
sugar the American refiners had got
ten large quantities from the Philip
pines.
Regarding the effect of the sugar
trust on the price of raw sugar, wit
ness said he thought the presence of one
great buyer in the field had tended TO
keep down the prices. but he did not
think the trust could keep down the
price more than lie of a cent pound,

clusion of the service he eX-
pressed himself as pleased with the

ingly of the courteous treatment he had
received while here, and felt especial y
thankful to President Snow for the use
of the Assembly hall and Tabernacle.
Father YOunan thinks that if the
work is followed up many more con-
verts will be made and he is very en-
thusiastic over the work accomplished.
Tomorrow he goes to Eureka, where
he Will give a like mission, and then
Park City will be visited.
Father Younan delivered no sermon
last evening, but devoted his time To
answering questions which had accu-
mulater in the question box
The first question was concerning the
use OF holy water. Rev. YOunan eX-
planned the reasons for using the holy
water. citing scripture to show the
cleansing properties of blessed water
He then read the question, why
does the Catholic church object to wo-
men being bareheaded in church," ana
answered it by quoting Paul's words,
Let women be covered in church,
and stating that the women themselves
object. The question was asked, Why
does the Bible give no account of
Christ between the age of L and SOP
He explained, in answer, that the Bible
gives us to understand that Jesus lived
the quiet life of d carpenter, and
quoted passages showing that the peo-
pie recognized him as quiet and ODE
dent carpenters son.
The next question was, why is ii
that an inspired book like the Bible
has so many interpretations; and is II
Gods will that there should be so
many sects?" To the second he replied
that it is not Gods will, and to the
first he quoted, THE Scripture is not
capable of private Interpretation" He
gave history of the canonical books,
and explained the Catholic method of
Would we know our friends in
heaven" he was asked. He stated
that we would not only know them,
but that we would associate and con-
verse with them.
Father Younan stated that this was
the first place where he had organized
a company of mission helpers, and be
urged the converts and Catholics to
obey the new commandment and try
to reach those who have attended the
meetings and bring them into the
church.
For the guidance of the converts,
Father Younan made some remarks

firmation and mass, explaining the use

''Apropos of the hardships of our boys

our regiment went on duty at Santiago,

He had picked up 4 raw Cuban cook

thing we drink he said, 'Or I'll kick
your backbone through the top of your

The Cuban promised faithfully, and
Obeyed the order to the letter. A week
or two afterward the captain, while
foraging about town, was presented
with a quart bottle of champagne from
one of the ships. He was OveriOyed,
and, securing a small lump of ice, he

and that for only a portion of each
! season.
4 On inquiry as to the affidavit plan of
selling TO wholesale grocers, witness
said that it had recently been aban-
doned- In many places grocers were
cutting the price OF sugar and selling
at loss Mr.. Post said he was sorry
for the grocers. but it was matter
OF little interest to the refiner. The re-
timers allowed the grocers a profit of
$40 of cent d pound, which was as
little as they could afford to handle 1t
for. Free sugar from Cuba, witness
said, would wipe out American raw
sugar. both beet and cane, in the next
five years.
During the afternoon the commission
heard statement from p. e. Dove OF
New York, president of the Commercial
travellers National League. Mr.. Dove
said the opinion of the commercial men
at large was that the trusts were
menace to the community. He esti-
mated the travelling statesmen in the
United States at 100000 The formation
of trusts and combinations was throw
ing large number of these men out
OF employment. In giving specific in
stances he said:
The National Enameling & Stamp
ing company, which depends for its
raw material upon the American Tin
Plate company, has thrown a great
many men out of employment. and
those retained have had their salaries
reduced. The great tobacco combina-
tons throw out about 5000 statesmen;
the Continental Tobacco company tele-
graphed the discharge of $50 in one day.
Ihe baking powder trust has dispensed
with all excepting half dozen men.
l Know of two statesmen discharged by
the trust who were formerly in the
nj Do
der company, one receiving a salary Of
$4,000 year. the other s4,500 Their
routes, with those of other DISCHARGED
statesmen, are covered by one agent at
SIS a week. The bicycle trust will
throw out COO statesmen gradually and
viii cut down agencies in every city.
The chair trust will affect Immediately
more than SEQ statesmen by cutting
them out Of the line.
"One man writes me that the Union
bag x Paper company has thrown out
of employment hundreds of statesmen.
The number of statesmen out of work
because of the United States Rubber
company is 800; the statesmen retained
have been reduced to a salary averag-
ing, so ] am informed. $1,000 a year.
The American Tin Plate company cut
off about ninety out of every hundred
statesmen The American Steel & Rod
company. l have been told, discharged
300 commercial travellers in one day.
In giving these estimates am not con-
the office force thrown out
through trusts. Sugar and coffee mo-
nopolies have thrown out 1000 sales
men; average reduction in salary of
these retained $1,000 a year, % per cent
only of the old force being retained in
the house position. The Standard Oil
employs fewer statesmen than
any other concern in the mercantile !

MANY INDICTMENTS FOUND.
Work of Grand Jury at Wallace On
Rioting Cases.

Wallace, Ida, June 16 This after
noon the grand jury reported as fol-
lows:
In accordance with your charge we
| have carefully examined into all cases
growing out of the riots of April 30 in
Shoshone county, and after mature de-
| liberation have found true bills against
all participants who have been identi-
| fed. a large number of others who
are identified as participants, but
whose true names are unknown to us,
have been indicted under fictitious
names. We would recommend that ow-
ing to the fact that large numbers of
parties indicted are not in custody,
/ that after filing, the indictments be not
published, unless so ordered by the
! court.
THE matter of the death of Mike
Johnson Qunatic drowned at Wardner
Saturday, was further presented to US.
but on careful investigation we find no
evidence of death from unlawful vio-
lent or external causes, therefore I'VE
have ignored the same. There being no
further business before US, we ask to
be discharged"
Accompanying the report was large
mass of indictments. There were about
fifty, but many contained numerous
names, so the number indicted will re-
main unknown.
The whole afternoon was spent by
the court listening TO arguments in the
case of Stewart VS.. Sinclair. The de-
Tense moved to quash the complaint,
and plaintiffs for an order to procure
sufficient help to take possession of the
type taken from the Mullan Mirror.
Both motions were argued at the same
time. as they were so intimately con-
nected. Defendants argued that mar
tial law and civil law could both exist
at the same time, each being supreme
in its way. Plaintiff argued that both
kinds of law could not be co-existent:
if martial law prevailed, civil courts
cOuld not act
