FINANCE AND TRADE
Stocks Were Irregular and Volume
of Business Restricted.
GOOD BUYING OF MISSOURI PACIFIC
Texas Pacific Sold Off-Car and
Foundry Strong
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star
NEW YORK, June I1.-Today's market
was again irregular as the result OF a dis
tinct traders movement against prices and
some rather good commission house buying
presumably for inside interests. London
sent over slightly higher range Of prices
for few stocks and was decidedly more
Africa.
The crop report was more encouraging
than the room had expected, and reliable
advlces from railway experts indicate that
conditions have improved since the gov
eminent figures were complied. Money
was easy throughout the day, and this fact
again helped to discourage short selling
Interest in Missouri Pacific was revived
ana the price advanced to a new high
point under rather free dealings.
All of the cheap issues which are to go
INTO the deal moved up in sympathy ex-
cept Texas Pacific This last named prop
erty was unfavorably influenced by ru-
mors that 1t would not be included in the
consultation. Such reports were soon ig-
nored and the buying at the decline clearly
indicated growing confidence in the value
Of the property.
Pennsylvania was active and higher under
assurances that a considerable movement
was impending. The reasons for the new
business were not assigned. but the charac-
ter of the buying Is said to be good and un-
usually significant.
American Car and Foundry gained slight
ly under fair volume of business and
rumors OF change in management and OF
record making business were freely cir
culated
The stock finds q ready market and ia
making friends among railway people. who
are in position to influence business In IA
vor of the company.
The Linseed OIL transaction. which really
makes a Standard Oil property of the for
mer, resulted in higher prices during tho
early dealings
Some confusion grew out of the fact that
Ltnseed certificates had been deposited In
the Lead and OIL plan, and were not avail
able for delivery against Immediate sales
Of Linseed OIL.
United States Steel securities were adj
vanced for a time under mixed buying but
these issues to shift for themselves within
narrow limits.
Some good scale buying In st. Paul was
feature of the trading. and rumor has 1t
that a dividend rate of per cent will be
established in the fall
lnere has been belief in such action for
some time. and few interests seem WILL
ing to begin an accumulation of the stock
even at this early day. London bought on
Ontario and Western and the low-priced
shares. During the final hour stocks were
sold to take profits and many of the early
gains We're lost.
There was unusual confusion as 10 thu
real status of the Southwestern deal.
missouri Pacific was confidently bought
but selling of Texas Pacific was resumed
inside interests bought one stock and sold
the other, II was said, because Of in init
nation that Texas Pacific would be less
generously treated in the deal than was
at first supposed.

A Scrupulous OhfOan.

: When United States Treasurer Roberts
opened his morning mail one of the first
letters contained conscience contribu-

Toledo, Ohio, and he did not sign his name.
He stated in the letter that while In Buff

canadian, paying cents for it. He
learned later to his humiliation that the
pencil had not paid duty and therefore sent
a 1-cent stamp as payment of the duty

gated. Mr.. Gould replied that such action
