extent of this reduction is various
ly estimated at between II and lo
per cent by experts in the trade,
while the government report yes
terday placed it at II per cent. In
the stock market trading was dull
and professional, and prices were
depressed.
There has been a further cur
tailment Of the output OF pig iron
and the market for the latter con-
tinues dull and heavy in tone. A
lull is also reported in some lin
ished lines, but conditions do not
warrant the conclusion that the
trade as a whole has entered upon
a long downward movement. This
impression has prevailed to some
extent in Wall street, and there
is little doubt that the reported
dissolution Of pools and the dis
cussion Of possible tariff revision
have had some influence in re-
straining consumers form anticl-
pating future wants; but the
large orders on the books OF man.
ufacturers and the preparations
for increasing producing capacity
are undiSputed facts. Mercantile
trade has not developed the actIv-
| ity looked for. The unreasonable
weather and the continuance OF
the Chicago strike have been adj
verse factors. The loss entailed
by this strike during the past six
weeks is roughly estimated at be-
tween $12,OOO,OO0 and $4,000, 900
principally in the shrinkage in
business of wholesale and retail
merchants.
The SOundneSs of general busl-
ness conditions is reflected in the
decreasing number and amount OF
| liabilities involved in commercial
failures. For the month OF May
R. G. Dun & Co. report the unmber
at $50, and the liabilities at $S,
971. .3O1. This is a decrease of
nearly $1,OOO,OOO compared with
the liabilities for May, 1904, and
a decrease of more than $3,O0O,OOO
compared with the same month
two years ago. The abundance OF
loanable funds and the low aver
age rates of discount continue to
be features of the money market.

OIL CO.
NOT CONCERNED

resumed development work in the
Kansas fields.
A howl goes up from the oil dis
trictS of the West as well as the
East on every slash in oil made by
the Standard Oil Company. but the
only satisfaction producers get is
the stereotyped reply, cover pro-
ductiOn. Standard oil produc-
ers claim that they have good rea-
sons for cutting the price of oil.
Any substantial advance, they say
would food the market with pc
.troleum and prices would sink to
an even lower level than they are
now.
At the same time lower prices
for oil appear to swell rather than
diminish the surplus fund of the
Standard Oil Company. The head
of a company that controls
over 500 wells in Western Penn
Sylvania and Ohio. when asked for
an explanation of the successive
cuts in prices of crude oil replied:
"It is difficult to give a cor
rect view of the situation. The
Standard claims over production
is the cause. Statistics do not in
dicate this. Production has fall
len off materially as a result of the
cuts in oil. Our wells viii scarcely
average two barrels each, and We
have been forced to suspend Oper-
ationS in many cases where they
could not be operated with
profit. The Pennsylvania and
Ohio oil producers are forced to
suffer because of the fight being
waged between the Western pro-
ducers and the Standard Oil Com
pany."

NEW YORK, June 3,-As the

The Standard Oil Company, as
the oldest trust of consequence in

legal obstacles and has been sub

in the country. 1t continues to
pay huge dividends to the stock
