nv August Belmont & Co, William A. Read & Co.
and Lee HIgginson & Co.. who have disposed pri-
vately of the entire amount to investors The rea-
son of this big bond issue appears to be shrouded
in mystery No one connected with the company
would say anything at all definite of the purpose to
which the $10OO0O0O to be devoted.
William a Read refused to say anything at ali
about 1t, because tho general conditions in the

One Official Of the marlborough company said
This amount will be devoted to general purposes
by the company, such as the completion OF the
BROOKLYN tunnel or to pay the amount due on the
Manhattan lease. 1t has no special signlhcanSGe'
way tunnels although it may be used partially for

[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.I
Chicago May 6.-Wheat had another slight de-
cline to-day from the continuation of the favorable
weather that is still raising high hopes of the ap-
preaching harvest Corn, the contrary was
strong because of the smalness OF the receipts and
the aggressive action of the bulls Oats had good
support from the covering purchase of short and
the SYMPATHETIC effect of the strength in corn Pro-
visions were affected by the expectation of an in
creased movement of hogs next week.
Wheat had an easy start, but selling was on a
small scale Statistical developments gave no en-
enlargement to the bears; neither did foreign ad-
vices Local receipts were three cars, against
TWENTY-FIVE the same day last year. May closed at
s21s. after selling as high as $3.50 anu as low as
q9sc July sold from S3lac down to S27sc, closing at
S27sc.
Small receipts continued the leading factor in the
corn pit where the buyers had the advantage OF
the days business, Offerings from the country
were stiu light Business was spirftess, with some
disposition to sell July. Local receipts were 10
cars only cars being contract and IS Of No and
no grade. Estimate Of Mondays receipts was 5S
cars May sold from 4SAc to 4S5so, closing at the
latter price. July closed at Else. The highest was
47Ikc and the lowest 46% to 469sc.
oats were dull and featureless. only light trade
being done with fluctuations within a narrow
range There was some demand from shorts, who
were the best buyers Local receipts were 70 cars,
with 81 cars estimated for Monday. Shipments
were 90 900 bushels. May closed at the top-S0l4e o,
the lowest was 297sc July did likewise closing at

Provisions ruled low and steady, at slight de-
cline from the previous The receipts OF hogs
were larger than expected and prices at the yards
closed weak and this caused the opening loss. The
selling pressure, however. was light, and the buyo

One development of notable significance. all
on the side of consistent conservatism, is that
attending the appearance of the American
Shelters Securities Company. whose preferred
stock and its 8 per cent dividends are guar
anteed by the American Smelling and Refining
Company-this conservatism striklngly reflected
in the specific provision that no guarantee or
other charges whatsoever can at any time be
authorized beyond quarter of what are
proven net earnings shown by audit in the year
preceding.
With American Smelling and Refining net
earnings reaching ss.5OOOOO. and $500 OO0 ap-
proximated for the Smelters Securities Com
pany, there is Sl4 600 net against which the
dividend guarantee of $1.500.O00 shrinks into
relative insignihcance-the American Smelling
and Refining Company having charges what
soever except s561.o0O interest on bonds now in
course of retirement-and this 81. 500, 900 guar
antee being thus the only charge ahead OF divi-
dends on it's capital stock-or. after allowance
of per cent. ($S.5OO,00O) upon its preferred
stock. leaving IS. OO0. OOO-equal to Is per cent
still available for American Smelling and Re
fnIng's $50, 900, 900 common stock.
But what is OF significance even beyond this
phenomenal exhibit OF distributable profits 10
American Smelling investors appears in the dis
position disclosed by those investors in appre-
citation of what constructive conservatism ac-
complishes It is not so long ago when there
was necessity in the hotation of any important
American Industrial corporation not only OF the
assurance OF large cumulative dividends but
necessity as we'll for distribution OF generous
bonuses OF common stock. Ordinarily IL
impossible to command attention for anything
less than per cent. cumulative preferred at
par with 100 per cent OF common stock thrown
in free. Now. mark the progress we make tested
