Trading Dormant in StOck will
Small transactions.

NEW YORK. May n.--Today's small
changes in prices Of stocks were mostly
gains, but the hrmness of the market was
passive and had no positive element in It
so far as could be perceived. The trading
fell near tc the point OF stagnation ana
the days total transactions were smaller
than for many months.

a bearing on stocks. No light was thrown
on the strike question before the close Of
the day, but the coal stocks shared gem
Another feature of the day was the wide
recoveries scored, by some of the high
priced stocks which fell violently in the
liquidation Monday. There were other high
priced Stocks in the active list which sold
today at wide declines from the previous
sales.
The money market was much quieter to-
day and there was no seeming difficulty in
One s'Gcianuss e eH OF this this was the much lighter
demand for accommodation The recent
high rate has also had the effect of bring
ing supplies. The process of borrowing In
foreign money markets was continued to-
day, as indicated by the further decline in
the sterling exchange market and the jump
25c premium yesterday to SOC premium was
a sign of the active demand for remittance
to New York from that center. which Is
reported also to be in progress from other
domestic centers. The subtreasury require
ments on the money market are much less
than last week, partly owing to increased
pension payments.
It Is worthy of note also that the gov
ernment's surplus revenue this month Is
only about $1,000 900, compared with almost
g, 000,O 600 for the corresponding period Of
last year. Receipts from internal revenue
thus far this month are some 8,500,O00 less
than for the corresponding period last year.
This decline is probably due to measures
in anticipation of the repeal on July next
of the war taxes and this tendency will
probably continue until the period of the
repeal. thus relieving the money market of
part OF the requirement of the surplus
revenue.

RATES FAVOR THE PACKERS
Interstate Commerce Commission to
Begin investigation Of
Charges.

CHICAGO, May 1E.-Chairman Knapp OF
the Interstate Commerce commission, which
Will begin an investigation OF live stock
rates here tomorrow. stated today that the
Investigation had no direct bearing on the
governments proceedings against the So
called Beef trust. No packers will be in
vestigated.
The investigation has to do with the ru-
mors that railroads are discriminating
(paying rebates) In a way which is detri-
mental to the interests Of Iowa cattle ship
pers, and which unduly favors Omaha and
other Missouri river packers. The rate on
live stock is said to be proportionately
higher than the dressed beef rate, which
gives an advantage to the packers nearest
the source of supply.
