REUNION OF STONE FAMILY.
Pleasant Day Spent at Lily Lake
Yesterday.

The Stone family yesterday had It's
annual reunion. Lily lake was the
scene of the gathering Of the clan, and
when the day was over all those pres
ent were of mind that 1t was one
of the most successful meetings ever
held of the members of the family.
There were great number of the
Stones present, ranging all the way
from tiny children to aged men and
women.
The day was spent in a pleasant
manner, the older people present
gathering together and indulging in
chat and "reminiscences. while the
younger men and women and the
children enjoyed themselves with vari-
Gus games.

HAD NOT PAID.

None of the corporations which are
heavy taxpayers had paid their taxes
up to yesterday afternoon, but some OF
the city officials We're of the opinion
that they would do so today or to-
morrow. Some few years ago when
the treasury was very low, as it is at
present, the Lackawanna company
came forward and paid half of its
taxes, materially assisting the pay
men of outstanding claims.
It is very probable that this year
will see the end of granting extensions
of time for the payment of taxes with
out penalty until the middle of De-
Cember, as has been the custom here
toforc, and it Is very likely that Oc-
tober Is will be the final date this
year.
Next year it is not improbable that
an entirely new plan will be adopted.
This will be the allowing of the pay
mCnt of all taxes for sixty days with
out a penalty, with a distinct provis-
ion prohibiting any further extension
of the time.

OUTSTANDING WARRANTS.

Inquiry at City Clerk Lavelles office
revealed the fact that there are be-
tween 1927. and 900 worth of war;
rants awaiting the signature of the
controller, who is not allowed to coun-
tersign until he is assured that there
is sufficient money in the treasury.
Among these warrants are a large
number of salary orders for the en-
ployes of the street cleaning depart
ment, none of whom have been paid
since June. The non-payment of the
salaries of these employees, many of
whom lead a hand -to-mouth existence,
has been productive Of deal of suf-
fering in "A great many instances.
Controller Howell said that he will
cOunterSign all warrants already
drawn mp just as soon as the money
is received in the treasurer's office,
| taking care of the above e-mentioned
street employees warrants first of all.
Now that the extension of time is
to be granted is is expected that the
| money will not roll in very rapidly for
! the first few weeks and that the treas
| ury will continue to be depleted unless
some of the big corporations having
| large interests here come to the res
! cue and pay part of their taxes at
| least.

1t can be definitely announced that
Mayor James Molr will sign the reso-
luton granting an extension of time
for the payment of city taxes until
October Is.
The mayor stated some few days
ago that he was undecided as to
whether he would sign the resolution
or not and intimated that he would
not.
This led to a general feeling OF un-
certainty among taxpayers desirous Of
avoiding the payment of a penalty.
They did not know whether or not
they would have to pay their taxes
before tomorrow, which was the first
time limit set.
1t was very evident, however, that
tho majority were convinced that the
mayor would bow to tlme-honored GUS
tom and grant the extension of time,
as very few, comparatively speaking,
appeared at the city treasurer's office
yesterday to pay their taxes.
The city treasury is at present in a
most deplorably depleted condition.
Deputy Treasurer Ruane stated <H't
before closing time yesterday after
noon that with all the city taxes paid
yesterday. there remained in the gen.
eral city account balance of only a
little more than $4,000.

Fine Weather Causes Declines in
Wheat, Corn, and Oats.
CHICAGO, May ian absence Of any
strength in wheat, and lower prices than
have yet been made on the crop, were
the features of today's market. Stoploss
orders helped the decline. The break ap-
peared to be over by noon and recovery
set In which carried the May delivery
back to GO rs. The weather was ideal all
through the West. Kansas authorities es-
innate the area of winter wheat at 29l,-
600 acres in excess of Government figures.
Corn lost 3-4c the May delivery slump
ing from sc ga to 80 rs and July from
81 rs to &c ga, neither delivery showing
much of a disposition to recover. The bulk
of the selling was on the fine weather pros
poets.
Oats were also heavy and lower. Scalp
ers were the principal sellers.
Provisions were slow, steady and en-
tirely featureless at closing figures.

The iron and steel securities have he'd
their own we'll during the week, as they
have at all times during the, past three
weeks, or since the first great slump In
the group. As has been pointed out the
future OF the iron trade Is not bad, but
superlatively good, as far as any of the
experts can foresee. That the insiders Ie-
gard the securities of these companies as
cheap at their present level is shown by
the support they are given while the gen.
eral market is tumbling.

The following table shows the trend of
prices during the past week and for the
past three weeks. The figures are those
for the close yesterday, the close on Sat
urday a week ago, and the close on Sat-
urday, April q. II will be seen that the
downward movement for the week has
been steady and general. With few ex-
ceptions the entire stock exchange list
shows recessions. In general, however,
the losses have been small:

past week and the price has given way
four points more in consequence. Many
small holders of the stock have been
caused some anxiety over the decline,
which 1t would seem is unwarranted by
the actual facts. There are many quite
large holders of Mergenthaler in this city
who have speculative accounts in the New
York market. The stock is popular with
these people as collateral. They put 1t up
to deal on at first and give 1t to their
brokers as additional margins when the
market goes against them, In this way
when the New York market is weak 1t
generally causes the selling OF considera-
BILE blocks of the stock here, not from any
weakness of the Mergenthaler itself. The
business of the Mergen:haler Company
continues very large. II has been COIL
tinually this year more than sufficient to
pay the entire 20 per cent dividend rate,
and there is no reason to suppose that the
dividend will be changed. The buying of
the stock has been better than the selling
recently despite the decline in the price.
The regular quarterly dividend OF per
cent has been declared on the common stock
of the American Graphophone Company.
payable June IL to stockholders of record
June /. Both the Graphophone securities
have been strong recently on good buying.
Heavy liquidation OF Lanston has been
going on for the past two or three weeks.
Ten thousand shares or more have changed
hands in this time, and the transactions
undoubtedly have been of more signifi-
canoe than the large trading In Capital
Traction above alluded to. 1t is said that
a very large holder of the stock has given
orders to sell out and that his order has
been filled. During the past week there
has been very little recession in the price
of the stock. The present bid price is
IL 3-S, and some sales have been made at
that level during the week, but for the
most part all orders were filled at IL 1-2.
The bid price on Metropolitan Bank
stock is now $50. The price of Metropoli-
tan has advanced steadily and rapidly for
weeks and even months. The statement
is made by an insider that block Of
twenty shares was sold few days ago at
$500 a share, by far the highest price ever
reached by the stock OF any local con-
Germ Other bank stocks generally are
strong with an upward tendency.

The past week in the stock market has
seen a succession of bear days. with con-
tinued bear selling and liquidation by
smaller holders and only passive support
from the important interests. There mas
been little Of interest in the technical
market developments, and little in the
general news that was of Importance 70
the market. The analysis Of the situation
printed in this column week ago would
serve perfectly again today. The bears
have taken advantage of the Wire Com
pany scandal and the few unpleasant
things in the general situation to hammer
prices. and they have been successful far
beyond the expectations of conservative
people 1t is not necessary to say, also,
that they have forced prices lower than
intrinsic conditions warrant. The problem
for the coming week is the same as that
for last week. VIII the bears be able 10
force a still lower level by the same
tactics as they have used so far? Will the
important interests turn the trend of
prices upward by sharp buying at the
present low level? 1t may be stated as a
certainty that the public need not be
looked to by the bulls for any aid ct
present. The public never gets into the
market when prices are on the bottom. But
Il is also true that the leaders of the mar
ket would have very little trouble in ere
ating much better condition ofthings now.
The shorts have covered at times during
the week, but the short interest is still
very heavy and it would run quickly en-
any sign OF important buying OF securities.

Yesterdays market showed some signs
OF good buying Of the specialties that may
prove of Importance this week. 1t was
noticeable and was much commented on
in houses usually well-informed that there
was an attempt to raid Sugar and Tobacco,
and that the attempt was failure as far
as any important results are concerned on
account of the immense buying for inside
interests. 1t may be suggested that with
the general market situation SO apparently
blue inside interests show either much
foolhardiness or much good sense in buy
ing these stocks on the bottom against the
pessimistic predictions Of some of the
most persistent predicters in the street.
Some day the really bottom prices will be
reached in Sugar and Tobacco and in other
stocks as well. 1t is well to consider how
the predicters will talk then. 1t is dollars
to cents that they will be quite as lugu-
brious as they are at present. At any
rate they have never failed to talk calam-
ity at the bottom before now.
The best information regarding the
American Tobacco Company and its stock
is that the speculative element Of the
concern has been thrown out and that as
a result it is trying to get even with the
company. II is supposed that the June
insiders who are now outsiders sold the
stock heavily on Friday and again yester-
day morning. They forced the price down
badly. but the opening quotation yester-
day morning was the lowest of the day,
and at the close a good net gain was
shown. This, it is said, is due to i'm
mense buying by present controlling in
terests in the concern. The opening price
was 80. the highest Of the day SO 3-S, and
the close so 3-s. The Continental Tobacco
securities followed much the same course
as American Tobacco. In sympathy with 1t.
The preferred stock, which closed on Fri
