NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS.
Volume of Business Continues Down

NEW YORK, May 15.-The passive con-
dition of the speculation was not changed
away to what is proverblally known as
midsummer dizziness. This condition OF

course of money resources and the uncer-
tainty of the crop season.
Overwhelming Importance is attached to
the fate Of the corn crop. this. year, espe-
cially in view of the high prices of that
cereal owing to last years shortage and
winter wheat crop.
So far as the situation is strained and

evidence here for several days past.
1t Is well recognized now that this buying
represented mostly the transfer of holdings
from New York to London, to TAX adj
vantage of the cheaper money rate there.
and the demand on the London money
market made itself felt yesterday in the

might be due as we'll to the American de-

Most of the price movements of any
consequence in today's stock market might
be traced to the influence of the acquisi-
ton of the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louis
VILE Jointly by the Southern Railway and
Louisville & Nashville.
The strength Of the Chicago & Alton and
Kansas City Southern stocks was obviously
based on a speculative assumption that
those roads might be available for a sim

the strengthening of competing lines by
the deal Illinois Central was strong. Lou

Amalgamated Copper was firm, on the

exclamation. Movements otherwise were
trivial and shifting.
