COTTON COMMISSION RULES.

At adjourned meeting of the members of the
Cotton Exchange yesterday II recommended
that the following clause In the commission rules
as originally drafted be eliminated:
Two dollars and fifty cents shall be charged for
each and every one hundred bales bought or sold
when the transaction Is made for member OF the
Exchange, making the round transaction Cbuying
or selling 50. this rule being equally appIica bic
TO the extension transfer of contracts from one
month TO another.
1t was also recommended to drop the so-caIIed
exceptional clause. The effect OF this will be that
90 cents will have TO be charged for brokerage on
every transaction and saIaried members or
clerks can be employed Another recommenda-
ton was that changing the punishment for first in
traction OF the rules from suspension to expulsion
These recommendations will probably be ac,c.
upon oy the Board of Managers OF, the Exchange
on June next. The annual election will he held
on June 4. These officers have been nominated

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

With the exception Of a few important spec
ulative issues. the stock market without
animation After early weakness prices be-
firm under the leadership of Sugar Re
filming and American Tobacco. in which active
operations against the shorts were in progress,
ana AT the close the greater number of issues
showed small gains for the day A violent
rise in Sugar certificates followed by the
standard rurnors regarding a trade settle
ment, but, usual definite announcement
accompanied the fluctuations in the stock Wall
Street, however, quite confident that a
Sugar war adjustment was reflected in the
quotations. The settlement of the Sugar war
would doubtless exert a marked influence upon
Wall Street sentiment, and II might prove
powerful enough 10 cause some serious losses
among the advocates Of lower prices, but it will
not be well to operate in stocks on the mere
expectation of speedy end of the current
Sugar trade difficulties. American Sugar Re
fning stock is the leading manipulated issue on
the list, and its movements cannot be counted
upon as e good index TO trade conditions. If
the Sugar war should be settled at once Sugar
stock its merits would not be entitled to
a big advance, owing to the enormous losses
that have been made in the sugar business
since the beginning of the trade fight
Stocks which are selling above their legitimate
value are the exception and not the rule. The
greater number of securities well under in
trinsic value, and there is not a bear In the
Street who will deny this statement when
pressed TO tell the truth. This fact however,
does not preclude the possibility of lower prices.
A market without support is likely to sag. First
class stocks viii be bought by men of wealth on
all reactions, and in the industrial list sound
securities, such Peoples Gas and American
Car and Foundry preferred, will not be passed
over. because certain Industrial stocks are

prices in Peoples Gas. a g per cent stock yield

SUGAR REFINING'S ADVANCE.

Sugar Refining stock supplied about one-quarter
of the total dealings in all securities After an
early decline offerings by traders the stock ad
vanced on buying by p. J. Goodhart & Co. who
took about 10000 shares Shorts were forced to
cover. and the price sold high III. although
losing part Of the Improvement before the close.
Louis Wormser bought about 10000 shares and It
reported that several bear traders were heavy
losers by the advance. The movement accom-
panied by various reports regarding the possibility
OF a sugar trade settlement. but official
irmaton could be had. James H. Post. of B. H.
Howell Son & Co.. said that so far as he knew
there was no change in the situation, and that as
Mr.. Jarvie, Of the Arbuckles. was away va
cation he did not believe any settlement had been
made with the last named firm. There is big
short interest Sugar stock, and this fact in
necton with fair outside demand for the Sc
curity, based on the belief that trade adjustment
is in view. makes rapid upward movements in
the certificates possible. If the prices fixed by the
American Sugar Refining Company are maintained
by the independent refners sugar brokers will
doubtless regard 1t Indication of an under
standing among all the interests concerned.

as suggested in this column The money market
will not be affected as the operation will amount
to little than the transfer of Government de-
posits to individual deposit account So far this
week the banks have gained a small amount OF
money from the Sub-Treasury, while receipts from
the interior have been heavily in excess OF ship
ments. Bankers trying to figure out profit

L1NsEED COMPANIES COMBINATION

1t Is thought in linseed circles that the trip of
Guy V. Major. president of the American I4nseed
Company, Europe is in connection with the pro-
posed deal between the American Lnseed Company
and the British Linseed Oil Company. 1t may be
said trustworthy information that the two con-
practically consolidated, and that
ratification only awaits a stockholders meeting of
the respective companies. The American Iinseed
Company controls the greater part Of the inseed
oil business in this country and Its earnings are
heavily in excess Of preferred stock dividend re-
quirements. The gross earnings for the fiscal year
about $4,000 900. The company is not in the
hands of the people who had charge the old
National Linseed Oil Company. and its organization
took only the valuable assets of the last named
concern. A combination of the American Linseed
Company and the British Lnseed Oil Company
will carry control of Iinseed oil business in
this country and Europe.
