STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May 25.-The stock market
continued intensely dull today. There
was no appreciate outside demand and
professional traders preferred to hold
aloof pending more definite developments
regarding the affairs of Price, Mccormick
and Company, whose failure was an
EOunced yesterday. There were not many
transactions under the rule on the ex-
change today for the firms account. but
there were indications of large transac-
tions in accordance with private settle
ments. Thus in the early dealings there
was sale Of a 5000 share block of Atch-
son preferred, the same house being both
the buyer and seller. There was also
a report current that very large re-pur
chases were made for Chicago account of
blocks of stocks sold yesterday for the
failed firm. The AtchiSon transactions
was explained as being mere transfer
of an account. These operations doubt
less represented the progress of settle
ment of the firms affairs. The prices at
which they were made indicated that
the buying in of the stocks was intended
to be at about last nights closing prices
The TACT that such settlement could be
secured helped to sustain the market, and
prices ruled for the greater part of the

day at or above last nights
level. Later in the day the sus-
tanning influence was less effective and
prices generally declined below last
nights level. At the same time rumors
were disseminated that other houses were
in financial difficulty. but nothing devel-
oped before the close to warrant these
rumors. The undertone of the market
was rather depressed, in spite OF the
support. The extent of the failure affect
ed sentiment adversely and the collapse
of the corner in cotton was looked to as
materially altering the prospects OF the
cotton section owing to decreased price
of the article. 1t was pointed out that
the invariable result of such efforts to
establish abnormally high prices is
relapse to abnormally low prices. The
disposition manifested in Liverpool to ex-
tend the bear movement in cotton instead
Of turning TO the buying side at the de-
cline, disappointed some.
The prospect OF a large increase in
the cash reserves Of the banks i'm tomor-
rows bank statement seemed to increase
rather than relieve the depression.
PRELIMINARY estimates of the currency
movements with the interior indicate
that the banks have gained from that
source over 100000 or about twice as
much as last week. The indication thus
afforded of a further decline in trade
activity made for depression, especially
as money in New York is becoming almost
a drug in the market. The call loan
rate today fell to | u per cent, and choice
grades of mercantile paper commanded as
low as per cent in the day. The reduc>
tons in the official discount rate of the
Bank of France following that of the
Bank of England yesterday reduces the
attraction for the loaning of American
capital in foreign markets. In spite Of
the easier money rates abroad there was
no disposition to buy American stocks for
that account.
The bond market continues dull and
the changes in prices were small and
mixed. Total sales (par value) $3.50, 900.

GIGANTIC SUIT
Litigation Against National Linseed Oil
 Company Revived

Chicago. April 26.-Litigation against the National Linseed Oil company was reviv- ed in the United States circuit court today when the appointment of receiver was asked for by the stockholders represent ing 4600 shares of the capital stock of the company.
 The compliments are James Clark of Plainfeld N. J.; Walter M. McCann of Des Moines, and J. w. Brooks, Henry B. Scott and William w. Baldwin of Burlng- ton, Iowa. The petitioners ask on behalf of themselves and the other stockholders 7 of the company that the court take the af fairs of the National company under its control and appoint a receiver to adminis- 1er and distribute the assets remaining over since the National company was bought out by the American Linseed Oil company few years. ago.
 The defendant company went out of bus mess at the time it's property was pur- chased, but the compliments assert that there are still some outstanding accounts amounting to about $100.000, which will be lost unless a receiver is placed in charge. It is also claimed by the petitioners that the stockholders have a right to the money, aggregating about $l9O000 said to have been lost by the president and directors of the National company at the time they were speculating in flax seed on the board of trade.
 The American Linseed company, which holds most of the asse6 of the former con- eerp, is not made party to the suit,

Congo Free State Massacres

Brussels, April 26.-In the chamber of deputies today the debate on the massa- cres in the Congo Free State, arising out of the exploration of the India rubber in- dustry, was concluded. The socialists again asserted that the agents of the Bel gian company, in order to obtain prem iums, which are given in preparation to the quantity of rubber secured, have been guilty of frightful brutality upon the na- tives, thousands of whom, they declared, had had their hands cut off because of their failure to procure the amount de- manded of them.

 The first business before the convention was the election of a secretary, and Mir Pettus placed in nomination the name of N. l.. Miller of Jefferson, and he was unan- imously elected. MT. Miller thanked the committee for the honor, but stated that he foresaw more work for the secretary than his time would permit. hence he was forced to decline reelection. He agreed to act for the present meeting.
 c. c. Whitson moved that the chair ap- point a committee of four, with the chair man added, to select a secretary which motion was adopted.
 c. F. Drake, of Morgan county, appear ed before the committee and read an ap- peal signed by quite number of the dem- ocrats of his county praying the committee to provide some means for the selection or an executive committee by the people of the county. MT. Drake discussed the matter at length, and pointed out irregu- larities in the selection of the present com mittee.
 After hearing the case Mir. Lowe moved, MT. Mallory being in the chair, that the appeal be made a special order for the next meeting of the committed, as only one side was represented before the com mittee. The motion prevailed and the sec- retary was requested to serve notice of the contest by giving publication.
 MT. Morisette moved that the chairman be authorized to appoint campaign com mittee consisting of as many members as the chairman should deem necessary, the chairman of the executive committee to act as chairman of the campaign commit tee. The motion was carried, and the committee adjourned.
