MARKET INCL|NES
TOWARD A RALLY
Some Irregularity of Move
ments Is Shown.
NO STEEL STOCK FOR SALE
Speculative Element, in Spite of Bank,
ing Inspiration, Is Disposed
to Bull Side.

NEW YORK, June 3.-The stock
market opened fairly quiet. Steel pre-
ferred lost rs: st. Paul. 7s: Union 2aci-
fle and Reading, 5s. Steel common was
down IS Erie. Il Copper opened
strengthened but lost II Immediately
while Smelters lost q. Frisco certificates
for Chicago and Eastern Illinois pre-
ferred, sold 1 per cent under the prev
ious sale. Anaconda lost is. The de-
mand for Reading was renewed and 1t
soon recovered. Copper lost its gain
later.
The traction stocks were firm and
slightly higher.
The market then started up very sud-
denly. The primary movement was that
of Reading. in which the buying was
called accumulation Of long stocks. In
eidentally, there were sales OF Jersey
Central at rise OF az per cent I. and
s. Worner were the most conspicuous
buyers Of steel stocks. Brokers active
in the trading say there is large short
age in the market. and no stock for
sale. The speculative sentiment, in
spite OF inspiration from banking inter
ests against bull movements, is strong
lv inclined TO bull side.
Toward the end Of the first hour the
market was allowed TO ease off in antiei-
patton of an unfavorabIe bank state
ment, but there was little selling Of
long stocks, and prices easily rallied on
small buying orders.
At the close the tendency was toward
E rally. but with some irregularity.
Government bonds steady; old AS up
-. Other bonds strong.

FUG|TIvE'S HUNGER
LEADS To CAPTURE

Exhausted by two days fast and ex-
posure in the woods contiguous to Con-
gress Heights. Edward Ferguson, color
ed, thirty-two years old, wanted for an
alleged nnurderous assault upon BERTHE

this morning by Policemen Whalen. Of

Fletcher. from the Fifth precinct sta
ton.
Ferguson has been within a mile and
half from the West woman's home
He became lost in the dense woods In
lodging through the underbrugh and
briars and climbing trees TO sleep. he
tore his clothes almost into shreds.
Starving, thirsty, and faigued, and
not having seen a human face since
he struck his wife, Ferguson decided
to go to his home about 8 O'Clock this
morning. He managed TO reach the road
without being detected by the police who
were IN the woods watching for him.
Arrived at his home. mile farther
along the Hamilton road, he was met by
Fletcher and Whalen. who covered him
with their reYolvers and commanded
him to surrender. He submitted to ar
rest.
AT Providence Hospital, where Fer
gusan's alleged victim was taken, 1t
was stated today by the physicians that
her life hung by Il thread.
At noon Ferguson was remanded to

may be pertinent to explain the cheer

that traders and commission brokers
alike considered it unwise to let busi-
ness fall too precipitately at a time
when everyone is hoping for the set
tlement of existing uncertainties which
viii permit of efforts being made to

while recalling that when men whose

IN the belief that the real effect of
such a law would be insidious and
cumulative, rather than superdciafly

that before the end of this month Read

many quarters as insufficient basis TO

important firms bought the stock yes

ating In Reading is credited with carry
ing a line of the stock that cost consid-
erably more than the present price, and
brokers surmised that the buying and

as to give the appearance of accumula-
tion for the account OF persons In a po-
sition to know most about the company.

FEDERAL OFFICIALS WOBBLE

A cloud of anxiety has once more en-
veloped the peaceful Pennsylvania Club,
an organization Of Keystone State office
holders residing In Washington, with
clubhouse at the southwest corner of
Fifteenth and Il streets northwest. Il
was less than a year ago that there
was q great comuustion on the part of
residents OF that vicinity lest the club
should get liquor license, and after 4
long fight ths club lost Recollections
Of the conflict raIfkled the members
for q little while. bat then they philo-
sophically determined that each man
should look out for himself and all look
ed well for the future
Now the club. according to reports
in circulation, faces a detection OF its
osSs. nembers-not those who find it
convenient TO use the club, from day to
day. but others prominent IN PennsyI-
vania politics at home, who were gem
erously elected to membership IN the
Washington organization. From their
homes in the keystone State they are
speaking their minds, and telling ali
the dreadful things they will do before
they pay dues to a club in Washington
which they are unable to enjoy. That
doesn't appeal to their business sense as
good arrangement. and they think they
could spend their hard-earned political
salaries at home TO much better advan-
tage. personally.

Colonel Andrews pressides.

lie president OF the pennsylvania
Club is the genial and popular Col. Wes-
ley z. Andrews. chairman of the Penn
sylvania Republican state committee,
and private secretary to Senator Pen
rose. Whatever he Goes politically meets
with the full approval or all the Penn
sylvanians in Office here. Until the re-
cent upheaval In Phiiade!rh hia there
were never any rumblcs Of dissatisfac-
tton even from ti-e Federal oiftceholders
up in the big State itself, but now come
rumors from there that postmasters and
others are kicking over receiving
eills for dues in consequence OF their
membership in the Pennsylvania Club
Of Washington.
These upstate political people declare
they were not aware of belonging to the
club at all. They think the request
ioT dues Is jokelet, intended 10
veil the polite suggestion that contribu-
tions 10 a political club are always in
order. especially from those who have
the good fortune to march up TO the
captains office every month and get a
large-siZed salary for holding down a
government job But as they never ap-
pear here at the clubhouse they are
talking along the lines Of the revolu-
uonary complaint against taxation
without representation. They look upon
the request for dues in that light
A Postmaster Objects.
According TO news from the Keystone
State. Postmaster C. G. Schrink. Of
Pottsville, Pa, is determined TO make
a stand against putting up money for
any purpose whatever There have
been other requests up that way. 1t is
reported. in addition to the bills for
club dues and the postmaster is
quoted as having said: II will decline
TO pay any assessment on my salary to
any political organization. Other Office
holders are said to be awaiting develop
ments before they determine what they
will do.
Members Of the club here. of course.
do not think much OF their tellow-of-
ficehoiders at home who fail TO come
up with the coin in response t. the bills
for dues. However, they have no fear
the clubhouse viii be closed W because
of any lack of funds. What they are
anxious about, despite the determinati tion
to laugh the matter eff, is that Presi-
dent Roosevelt may take a hand In the
matter on the score that requests for
dues from Federal officeholders in Penn
sylvania for Washington club are
nothing less than political assessments.
This would not apply to members of
Congress VINO applied for membership
for political reasons of their own but
might be inFoled by those men holding
office in their home towns who declared
they had never expressed desire to be-
come members of the club here.
