crease in short covering, which led some
OF the heaviest traders TO work for a

OF CHICAGO HOLDINGS
Sold Out Traction Stock and Is
Trying TO Sell Real Estate.

CHICAGO. May 19.-Charles T. Yerkes
Is trying 10 dispose Of all OF his Chicago
investments. He is here for few days,
and while everyone considered him
deeply interested in the local traction
situation. ne announced yesterday that
under no circumstances would he take
any active interest in 1t.
Mr.. Yerkes IS out of Union Traction.
He has sold more than 5000 shares of
Lake Street Elevated stock which until
recently he held. and he has sold at
private sale in Chicago the greater part
of the Consolidated Traction bonds
which he formerly held. He is still a
considerable owner of real estate, which
he is trying to sell. "If I ever have oc-
casion 10 go West of Chicago, shall go
by way of Cincinnati and New Orleans"
he says.
Concerning the charge that North and
West Chicago for three years prior to
their sale to the Union Traction Com
pany had earned only and per
cent, respectively, as against IL and 6
per cent in dividends now, Mr.. Yerkes
said "All l have to say in regard to
that is this: The people to whom sold
did not buy pig in a bag, but they took
the pig out of the bag and examined #
thoroughly to see whether he was a
healthy pig, and the examination was
going on for weeks. If what you tell me
has been said is true. it is most remark
able they didn't discover it, and If they
did discover It, il Is more remarkable
they went on with the trade
Gen. John l. Blair, who was the most
remarkable railroad man in the United
States, used to answer the question
What is that railroad WORTH by ask
Ing, Who is going to operate it?' The
reply to that is just as good today as
then. and it is the most important part
OF the whole business"

Mr. Brown and Mr.. Sully were on the

Trading was excited, with but little
reaction from the top. Outside orders
were numerous and mostly on the buy
ing side.
Later in the morning the market
broke % points under heavy selling on

the bear side, on the idea that the end
was at hand. but the market went back

reason why money rates remain so low

Pessimism is pronounced; in fact, the
general disposition is to oversell the
market. This of itself will sooner or
later form a sufficiently large short In
terest to make II an object for some
of the larger operators to take the bull
side for a term. Beyond the probability
of some moderate rallies on such a de-
velopment, there seems TO be little in
the present situation to warrant expec-
tation of anything better than that such
a movement, should II come. will prove
only temporary, and not extend very far
under existing conditions.
A significant feature which was over
looked yesterday was the increase in the
quarterly dividend rate OF Calumet and
Hecla from s. TO $40 per share. This
is plainly indicative OF the enormous
profits which the copper companies have
been obtaining from the prevalence Of
10 cent copper the past two months. aud
1t suggests the restoration. in part at
least, OF the dividends formerly paid by
other copper companies with the prob
ability of the Amalgamated rate being
increased in the not distant future to a
per cent basis per annum,
The idea that the stock market Is in
for long period of gradually sinking
values is hdustriouslv pushed in many
quarters of the street, and in various
financial publications. Many people
have taken a position on the short side
Of the market because of this increasing
bearishness. while many others have
withdrawn entirely from speculation and
show no disposition to return. They
ing evidence of labor unrest throughout
the country. Wall Street generally
reaches quick conclusions, and In the
case of the current epidemic of strikes
1t Is contended in a large number of
Wall Street houses that the bright
promise of May l for a subsistence OF
labor troubles has been succeeded by in
dications of acute trouble in the contest
between labor and capital. and that all
lines of industry must soon begin to
reflect In decreased earnings the In
huence OF the contest on Industrial ac-
tivity. While this is an extreme view
Of the situation. the fact remains that
the present tendency in labor's ranks
is disQuieting the people who have money
invested in the country's industries.
Conditions in general, however. are SO
strong and healthful that II hardly ap-
pears probable that labor's demands viii
