clined lis, Cd under light selling or

market for that metal was extremely
dull, and values fell on Is points in

LONDON MONEY MARKET.

NEW YORK, June 13-Commereial
Advertisers London financial cable
gram:
The reduction of the bank rate to-
day from 31a to per cent. caused gen.
eral surprise, tor although the increas-
ing ease of money foreshadowed the
possibility of such action, it was not
generally expected that a reduction
would be actually made to-day. The
stock market view of the matter is that
the bank directors have anticipated an
early peace in the Boer war. But the
satisfactory condition both of the bank
and stock market affords ample ex-
PLANTATION of to-day's action.
Business on the stock exchange was
generally meagre, with American stocks
too idle to move much. Union Pacifis,
B. & O., Southern Pacific and Erie
bulged on New York buying with the
continent slightly assisting the first
two.
Money ON call began at one per cent.
and finished unlendable.o The Bank of
Bombay has reduced the rate from Z

CHICAGO, June 13-Wheat was

July corn closed as@1ac lower; July

With Liverpool cables rejecting the
conditions existing here yesterday and

days wheat market invited decline.
July opened shade to h@ssc lower
at 70A @701ac, with liberal offerings and
slight demand except of the professional
class. Under continuation OF liauida-
ton July fell to 65s4c, the lowest price
of the option. Then came reaction
based on reports of damage by fly and
New York reports of continuance of
the continental demand. July rallied to

Seaboard clearances of wheat and flour
we're equal to $4,000 bushels. Primary
receipts were $4,000 bushels, against
COS 900 bushels year ago. Minneapo-
lis and Duluth reported $50 cars. against

receipts were So cars, "a of contract

Advices that Unexpectedly favorable
conditions exist In the corn belt and
the selling of nearly 100000 bushels OF
July by the bull reader, caused an early
weakness in the corn pit. The only
bullish feature consisted of moderate
receipts and the small proportion of
contract corn they contained Shorts
covered freely and brought on q, good
rally near the close. July sold between
411ac and 1880, and closed fairly steady
and 3s@1zc lower at 41%@42c. Eighty
three loads were taken for export. Local
receipts were 233 cars, Is of contract

Perfect weather conditions coupled

at 271sc. Local receipts were 40 cars.
Provisions were weak early on lower

NEW YORK. June 13.--IJninn Pacific
and st. Paul were the features this af-
ternoon. Indeed all the trading ap-
peared to converge on them and espec-
tally in Union Pacific. Rumors of a
deal between the two properties, OF
course, were circulated, but probably
only for manipulating purposes. The
general list was almost neglected and
altogether it appears that the bulk of
the days business represented syndi-
cate operations. We would advise the
taking of profits in general market on
sharp bulges tomorrow.

NEW YORK, June 1S-There was a
notable increase In the speculation in
stocks to-day. the days business run
ming up to near million shares. Spec
ulative interest was still decidedly spot
ty, but the strength of the principal
active stocks was so decided as to at
feet the whole list by sympathy, with
a few unimportant exceptions. There
were points In the list, nevertheless,
which were hela back by palpable re-
alizing. The realizing was we'll taken
and inflicted no losses on the stocks
Pennsylvania was a notable example
in this category and the soufhwesterns
did not share to the full in the buoy

large amounts of Pennsylvania stock
have been marketed this week and in
the loan crowd the stock commands a
premium. The selling is to large ex-
tent against the buying of rights to

withstanding the official disclaimer OF
the reported purchase of the Pennsyl-
yania Steel Company by the railroad
company. Wall street opinion regards
that as an accomplished fact. The con-
tinued strength to-day of COLORADO Fuel
and the buying of that stock by some
brokers usually employed by the Gould
interests aroused conjecture that the
control of the Colorado company was
being sought by the Gould Hartman
interest with the same purpose in view
as that ascribed to the Pennsylvania
namely, to insure the cheap production
of it's steel rail supply. The advance
in Colorado Fuel reached ", carrying
it above yesterdays high price. Other
independent steel companies were
strong, notably Tennessee Coal, which
rose 37s on the acquisition of the Ala
bama Steel & Wire Company. The
United States Steel stocks were heavy
the selling being attributed to uneasi-
ness over the development of opposi-
ton companies. The Gould-Harriman
brokers were active in various stocks,
notably in Union Pacific. The buying
in this stock was on an enormous scale
and was closely followed by st. Paul
through all it's fluctuations.
che street was in the dark as to the
cause of the movement and attributed
it vaguely to further working out OF
the Northwestern railroad relations and
to favorable crop news. A well def1n-
ed rumor gained currency towards the
close that some heavy original holdings
of st. Paul represented in the directory
for many years have been sold and that
the stock will appear in the collateral
for the Union Pacific convertible bonds.
Union Pacific rose an extreme 61s and
St. Paul AS. Missouri Pacific and some
of its affiliated stocks, notably Denver
& Rio Grande, continued to show the
influence of expected action on consol-
idation. The rise in B. & O. of 81 was

rights of the common stockholders to all
