change of tone in the market are several,
but perhaps sympathy with the better con-
dition in the New York market YVES as
important as any. lit seems to be the
general opinion that itheeadvances are not
yet over. Local money, continues cheap
and plentiful NJ
The advance in Mergenthaler has per-
haps been the most noteworthy. The stock
tumbled many points during April and the
greater part of May on vague rumors Of
competing companies forming and proposed
reduction of dividends alleged. The price
week ago on Saturday was 1s3 1-2, about
the lowest reached. The stock was at
tackled viciously by clique of bears and
several hundreds of shares were sold short
by them. On last Tuesday the price ranged
from 1S3 IS to 1874 3-S. On Thursday, the
day after the holiday, it ranged from 1855 to
1855 IL. During the past two days there
was a squirt. the Friday prices advancing
from 1S6 1-2 TO 1855 Is and yesterdays
sales being made from 1S9 to 1870 liz. The
closing prices each day have been the
highest and it has been very evident that
the shorts were covering in precipitate
fashion with little regard to price. The
speculative and investment long buying
has also been excellent so that the total
business for the week has probably been
usdi ~ 10 BE do iOi any hNe udyo III ehS
history of the stock. About eco shares
changed hands yesterday. and about 100
shares on Friday. On Tuesday the amount
of stock was nearly 200 shares.
The change of front regarding the stock
market has been due to the pub ication in
The Times and the private circulation Of
the last report of the company, which
showed its business to be the largest and
most prosperous in its history. The pres
ent earnings Of the concern are In excess
OF 20 per cent on the capital stock. There
is none of the stock for sale, either in
New York or in Boston, and the few
transactions made in those cities have been
purchases from Washington holders.
The advance in Capital Traction seems
to be due to the nearness of the dividend
period, and to the passage of the COM
company has had the bill UP before Con-
gress for two or three years, but it has
failed on two former occasions. Its pas
sage is considered an important victory,
and officers Of the company state that the
extensions proposed will add materially to
its business and profits. The summer
business of the company is now beginning
also, and insiders tell Of the prospect OF
heavy gains on the Chevy Chase as well
as the main lines. Traction advanced from
1C2 and fraction to 104 SIS, yesterdays
best price. Nearly LOO shares Of the
stock, a record of transactions for une day,
changed hands yesterday, the purchases
being made largely for insiders. Much in
terest was shown in this immense busi-
ness, but in some quarters the bona fide
character of q large part of it was ques-
toned.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Somewhat Lower, with Corn
md Ontr steady.


md Onts steady.
CHICAGO, June Wheat was weak
and lower. Local traders were again buy
ers at the opening ana sellers at the close.
Northwest sold again today. Primary re-
ceipts for the day were. 100000 bushels
less than last year, but show decided
increase for the week over last year. Cash
sales here were so, 900 bushels.
Bids for cash corn we're fully as good as
any day this week and shipping sales have
been under 100000 bushels, which is a
big business for any Saturday. Primary
receipts Of corn this week were double
last and almost as large as last year;
primary shipments, on the other hand.
are comparatively light There is likely
to be a slight increase in the stock Mon
day. Tonight's corn prices are about the
same as Fridays.
Oats have been steadier the latter half
of this week by large exports, about $780,
900 bushels In two days. The business to-
day was not SO large. There were liberal
clearances. $4,000 bushels. Tonight's
prices about the same as last and 1-Sc
under last Saturday.
A further decline in lard on liberal SELL
ing attributed to leading packers was a
prominent feature in provisions. Stock
lard here is larger than estimated, while
the stock of pork and ribs is somewhat
less than looked for. This accounts for
todays firmness in the latter articles.

NEW YORK, June 2.-As is usually the
case at the end of week in which the
speculative community has INDUCED in
bullish sentiment, there was today dispo-
sition to take profits on recent speculative
ventures. The profit taking disclosed the
fact that with the demand for stocks to
cover short contracts pretty well satisfied,
there is no. much support from other
sources.
The pool in Baltimore and Ohio common
appeared to be undisturbed by these cir
cumstances, and in consequence that stock
closed nearly two points higher than yes
terday. There was also some buying OF
Southern Pacific on the publication of an
interview with the president of the conf
pany intimating that a dividend might be
paid upon the stock in the near future.
Atchison issues, Pennsylvania, Missouri
Pacific. and few specialties were also ex-
ceptions TO the reactionary tendency of the
day
Throughout the remainder of the lis,
moderate selling resulted in fractionally
lower prices for the majority, while the
iron and steel stocks were exceptionally
weak on light transactions. New York
Central, Peoples Gas, and Louisville and
Nashville sustained noteworthy net de-
ciines.
The weekly statement of averages OF the
associated banks shows a gain in lawful
money of over $4,000 600, the greater part
of which was in specie. The loans. owing
to heavy borrowings in connection with
syndicate operations at the close OF last
week, show an increase of s7,347,0e0. The
net result brings the surplus up to over
$4,000, Geo. which is fairly good showing
for this season of the year.
The improvement in values on the stock
exchange this week has been chiefly due
: to the cessation OF liquidation and appre-
hension on the part of the short interest
because of the fact of the first mentioned
More hopeful feeling has been created by
the successes of the British forces in South
Africa, by the developments in the sugar
refining industry and by more favorable
crop weather in the West.
The defeat of the antitrust movement
In Congress had no effect upon speculation
. The street is now watching railway traffic
returns, bank clearings. and trade reports,

of determining when the readjustment in

TILE B. & o. DIVIDEND.
Years Earnings ON Common Stock
Placed mt Twelve Per Cent.

NEW YORK. June Renewed strength
has been infused into Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad stock in the stock exchange within
the past few days by rumors that the di-
rectors were likely to declare dividend
or the common stock at the rate of 5
per cent.
These rumors are based largely upon the
personal statements of some OF the Balti-
more and Ohio directors that the road will
earn about IL per cent on its common stock
this year There is, however, determined
sentiment in the board against declaring
any dividend on the common stock at pres
ent. The betterment expenditures of the
Baltimore and Ohio, according to present
plans, will amount to several millions of
dollars a year for the next five years.

MISCELLANEOUS STOCKS
The Local Security Market.

The local stock market has been an i'm
portant and interesting one during the
past week. The weakness and stupidity
of local securities recently gave way TO
much strength and activity, especially In
Mergenthaler and Capital Traction. Bust
ness increased and prices advanced sharp
ly. The large short interest that has been
created during the past month was first
thoroughly frightened and then forced to
cover. with losses In some cases as large
as any ever sustained by this compare

ity market. The reasons for the radical

Speculation in the New York stock mar
ket has seen an important revival during
the past week. Early in the week it be-
came evident that the short interest VS.
uneasy ever its position, owing TO the
news from South Africa, the talk of the
settlement of the sugar war, the better
feeling in the iron trade, and the buying
of American securities in London, which,
added to the many bullish items IN the
situation already developed, pointed to the
prospect of a revival of confidence gen
orally. The pools taxing advantage OF the
news and the shaky condition of the bears,
began TO buy stock heavily, and the bears
began to cover. Toward the close of the
week there was some very good commits
sion buying TO add to this. The result is
seen In a range of prices we'll advanced
from that of week ago. And also it W II
be noted that the closing prices OF the
week are generally very near TO the
highest.
Yesterdays market was not so salts
factory as those Of Thursday and Frisay,
as there were fractional recessions in a
number Of securities, that more than out
weighed in Importance the few manipu-
lated gains. Yesterdays session however
may probably be considered as simply an
exception to the general rule of advancing
prices and not as the end Of the upward
movement. The losses of the day were
due to realizing by the professionals that
usually occurs at the end Of the week
There is nothing in the news TO cause any
change in the generally hopeful feeling of
spectators and brokers either in London
or on this side. The outlook is for num-
Der Of further good developments, In fact.
Recited briefly, the items in the present
situation that have given renewed con-
,I1sn ,,,I
that should have a further influence in the
same direction this week, are as fol ows:
The news from South Africa, which
means the opening OF the gold mines again,
the flow of gold to London, and rest srel
confidence in South African mining sh ares,
as well as promising an early peace and
an early influx Of buying orders from Lon
don for the Yankees"
The cessation OF the export of gold and
the continuance Of easiest money conci-
tions on this side.
The advance of 50 points In the price OF
sugar within a month ensuring a good
profit on the manufacture, and Indicating
very clearly that the fight in the trade is
over, and that the business will be con-
Quoted hereafter on business basis.
The settlement OF the New York gas
war.
The rehabilitation OF the Third Avenue
Company in a marvelously short period OF

The good crop reports from all over the
West.
The continuance of unprecedented earn
