NEW YORK. May S-The opening de-

in Canadian Pacific were the largest.

Practically everything on the list sus-
tanned losses of ] TO per cent in the
first hour, ana an extreme decline Of 81
points in Peoples Gas. which sold down

again under continued selling. United
States Steel preferred, sold ex-lividend
OF 1s4, opened with net loss of 21a per
cent. Northern Pacific sustained loss
of points 20 1304e
The selling in Peoples Gas was based
wholly on the fact that the electric
Legislature SATURDAY night, carried q
rider giving tfe Chicago city council
authority to make rates.
The declines ii the general list were
almost wholly due TO heavy selling by

bought by strong interests GA the de

The gossip of the room is almost
wholly about the attitude of France,

and its policy ana aggression in Mo

tc cause a bearish feeling among the
trading element on the floor OF the eN-
change.
Government bonds unchanged; other
bonds irregular.

Motion Not Considered.

This motion was not considered by
the court, on the ground that the Gov
ernment was not given the two days
notice of its filing required by law
Motions were then filed by counsel
for the defense, asking for "a postpone
ment because there has been no re-
turn to the commission issued for the
taking Of the testimony Of William
Gilbert and Henry d. Hotchkiss, OF
New York, and of letters rogatory to
Charles F. Miller. of London, England
whom IT was declared were importanS
witnesses to the proper defense of the
accused.
Fields stated III an affidavit that ae
expected 10 prove by AIT. Miller IuaU
June 20, 1893 Miller saw him at a bank
II this city and that he, Fields, gave
Andrew a. Lilpseomb Certain money
for Investment.
In arguing the matter Attorney Walk
intimated that District Attorney
Beach is unusually hasty in bringing
Fields to trial, on the ground that he
IS member of the bar.
Justice Wright said that as a member
or the bar Fields should desire as
speedy trial as possible and if inno-
cent be acquitted Of the charge against
him. On the other hand. if guilty. he
should be convicted and Just punishment
neted out to him.
Fields was appointed some years ago

+" FUTURE DELIVERY"
TRANSACTIONS LEGAL
Supreme Court Bars Bucket Shops
From Use of Grain Quotations of
Chicago Board of Trade.

The Supreme Court of the United
States. today, IN a decision delivered by
Justice Holmes, upheld tho legality of
transa ctions for future delivery in the
Chicago board of trade. and declared
that the board had a right to protect
its quotations on grains there collect
cd.
Bucket shops are not allowed to OBJ
tain and use them without consent of
the board.
The decision Of the court was reached
by a vote Of to 3. Justices Harlan.
Brewer, and Day dissenting The
also; one decision favoring the bucket
shops another holding against the
bucket shops in favor Of the board Of
trade.
The main point Of the defense was
that The board of trade IS the "greates.
Of all bucket shops ana that the sales
made there are without the intention of
delivery.
Although IN three-fCurths of the trans
actions there is no physical handing
oyer, as the Supreme Court held today,
the majority Of the court is not pre-
Jared to say that transactions in the
pit are to be condemned as gambling
transactions, but even If they were.
the collection of the quotations is one
in which the public is interested.
This collection constitutes property,
and is not beyond the protection of the
laws.

POPULARITY OF PAVILION
OF NATIONAL BISCUIT CO.

Although it can hardly be called a
part of the Railway Appliance Exhibi-
tion, the pavilion of The National Biscuit
Company is considered one of the most
popular features Of the miniature White
city.
a test Of its popularity with the people
can be found III the fact that nearly
every one who visits the grounds makes
it point TO spend Il portion of the
time there During the day and evening
tea, coffee, and chocolate and of the
400 different kinds of biscuits manufa4-
tured by the company are served free
to all who call.
Another pleasant thing in connection
with this exhibit is he proximity of the
pavilion 10 the band stand in which are
given daily and nightly concerts by the
Engineers Band
The pavilion is handsomely decorated
with flowers and pottcd plants, and has
an inviting and restful appearance for
those who have grown tired of watch
ing the demonstrations of the various
machinery of the exhibition

Arguments Concluded.

The arguments of the different motions
were concluded at a few minutes after
l. o'clock, and Justice Wright, after
overru!ing them, directed that the trial
should be commenced. and the empa 1el-
ing of the jury was begun
When the court convened. Mr.. Baker
filed motion asking that the District
Attorney be required to return TO the
office of the clerk of the Supreme court
of the District the papers of the Wash
lngton Endowment case, on the ground
that an examination of them was nee
essary for the preparation of the case
or the defendant. This motion was over
ruled. The court informed counsel for
the defendant they could have any Of
the papers in the case they particularly
specified.
\ motion was fled asking for a bill
or particulars, in order, it vas con-
tended, that the accused might be put
on notice as to what money he is ac-
cused of embeZZliug and Of the reIa-
ton Of his FeceiVership TO such money.
This. it was contended by counsel for
Fields, WAS absolutely necessary for
his defense.

NEW YORK.

The people who are well informed re-
garding the character of the. recent
break in stocks and who are close OBJ
servers of the situation of money ana
business In the United States are diS.
rosed to buy securities at the current
level. and the fact that so many stocks
thrown on the market in the last TWO
weeks have gone into the hands OF TINS
KIND of buyers ought TO encourage the
theory that no further material weak
ness will develop in prices. for the pres,
ent at least. It is generally believed
that stocks are IL stronger hands than
at any time in the last year, while II IS
assumed that there is still a large short
interest, the latter, of course, being an
important factor in the markets s tech
nicaI strength.
