A LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

As matter of fact there ought tc
be lieutenant governor in West vir

line is not ont of place by any means
tnl'r the present law there are times

th" matter Of salary. This should mol

STOCK MARKET
CLOSES WEAK
Depression Due to Variety
of Causes and Trading in
Shares Is Unusually Light
FALLING OFF IN DEMAND
Traders Are Cautious and
but Little Life Is Shown
by Any of the Securities

NEW YORK, June, S.-To-day's small
business in stocks represented nothing
more than testing operations by profess
sional traders. These operators were in
clined to take the ground that yesterdays
explosion in the Equitable Life Assurance
Society indicates the worst that may be
looked for from that troublesome episode
in its effect upon the stock market The
outcome was pretty definitely foreseen
yesterday while trading in the stock mar
ket was still in progress, and il was as
sumed that the usual rule would hold
that speculative operations had overdis-
counted an expected event. The rise in
prices of the first hour had no other visi-
BILE explanation than this ON the part of
the boardroom operators. They devoted
some special attention to Reading on pro-
fessed confidence in a coming increase in
the dividend on the Central Railroad of
New Jersey and the Central of New
Jersey stock was marked up over seven
points in consequence. The demand for
Amalgamated Copper was associat ted with
the coming annual meeting on Monday
and the circulation of rumors that some
sort of a financial statement was to be
issued by the corpora ton a that meeting
The boardroom traders attracted little
following in their ventures, and prices
sold off again when intimations got
abroad of the unfavorable chara acter OF
the coming bank statement. The $1,000
coo shrinkage in the cash held was far
in excess of preliminary estimates based
on the known movements of money The
large decrease was attributed to with
drawals by the trust companies in con-
nection with some important syndicate
subscriptions which had been called in
this week.
Dealings during the week have been on
a small scale and fluctuations have been
irregular and poorly maintained.
OF the events of the week having an
important bearing on general affairs the
decision of the naval contest in the battle
of the Sea of Japan had an inspiring ef-
feet. 1t was hoped this might relieve the
securities markets of some part of the de-
preston which had held them in re-
straint The belief that peace would be
the early result was regarded with salts
faction throughout the financial world.
But the after-effect proved. that the pos
sibility of Russian success had been only
slightly considered in some purely specu-
lative opera tions by professional bears,
and their buying 10 cover was not fol-
lowed I'D by any more substantial de-
mand.
The Equitable Life Assurance case has
exerted a marked influence of depression
on the stock market. The immediate
channels through which this has operated
on stocks are somewhat occult, and the
mystery has rather added 10 the enect on
sentiment than relieved it.
There has been enough of unfavorabie
