An Increase in SaIes-Prices Advanced
 Realizing in Reading and Japanese 1 Roads.
 New York. June 2O.-More stocks were sold in two hours before noon to- day than during the full session of yesterday. In the afternoon there was a contraction, but the sales for the day rose to larger total than for any day since early last week. The mar ket obviously was still largely in pro- fessional hands, but the traders oper- ated more freely, and there were in | dications of the re-entry into the mar ket of some of the larger semi-profes- l sional speculators, who have refrained from activity for some time past. The 1 buying movement was largely of an l experimental character. The market | has given clear evidence for several days of a hard undertone.. The eager ness of the professionals to see prices | move in one direction or the other prompts them always to follow the line of least resistance. They were in- clined to-day to put prices up until the weight of offerings attracted by the ad- vance should prove an obstacle. Real izing in Reading was very manifest, | and this fact was palpable chsck to | the operation for the advance. Some general effect on sentiment was pro- | duced also by the realizing in the Jap | O hoy dc ocy a | real leaders in the small speculation for some time past. Probably the weekly crop bulletin of the weather bureau was as much responsible as any other one thing for the advancing tendency of prices. The reports on the corn and cotton crops were especially cheerful, and railroads having large percentage of traffic in those commodities were helped accordingly. The winter wheat carriers were not so responsive, owing to reports of immediately unfavorable weather conditions. In addition to the corn and cotton Influence the retention of the 1 per cent. dividend rate on Tennessee Coal was accepted as an in dex of favorable conditions in the southern iron industry. There was alz so some renewal of gossip of an in- tended increase. in the Louisville & Nashville dividend rate. Published re- ports of the undiminished activiey of steel mills in the s, Pittsburg district gave the impulse to the rise in United States Steel preferred. Satisfaction was professed over the better under. standing reported between France and. Germany, but. foreigners were sellers of stock to a small extent in this market. The supply of funds for call loans continued very abundant, but the tone for time loans is hardening The days rise in prices was very well main- tained through the dullness of the later market.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,6S0000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

RAILROAD CONTROL
The Chicago Tribune sees treason in the
presidents cabinet-in Secretary Morton's at
tempt to wave away the railroad issue, apparently
as dear to the heart of his chief as hard-taken
the secretary's speech are placed beside the plea
OF the presidents message:
Railroad freight rates in the United
States are low. No other country has
such cheap carriage of goods There are
few complaints of rates in this country
because they are too high Complaints Of
extOrtionate rates are the exception, not the
rule Rates are lower in the United States
than anywhere else in the world. This
alone is something to be proud OF, but,
coupled with the fact that, with the lowest
rates in existence, the wages paid by the
American railroads to their employees approx
mate at least SO per cent more than the wages
paid the railroad men Of other countries, and
considered, further, with the fact that the
American railroads probably pay higher
prices for materials than any other railroads
IN the world, only serves to emphasize the
triumph IN transportation which has been
achieved in America. 1t has been my obser-
walton that complaints of unreasonable rates
to railroad men always receive prompt and
satisfactory attention.
So much for this speech, and this much Of
the message:
The supreme court finally resolved the
question IN the negative so that as the law
now stands the commission simply possesses
the pare power to denouncc particular rate
as unreasonable.
While am of the opinion at present it
would be undesirable, if it were not imprac.
ticable, finally to cothe the commission with
general authority to fix railroad rates I do
believe as fair security to shippers the
commission should be vested with power
where given rate has been challenged. and
after full hearing found to be unreason-
able, to decide, subject to judicial review.
what shall be reasonable rate to take it's.
place, the ruling of the commission to take
effect Immediately and to obtain unless and
until reversed by court of review"
a member of the senate committee on inter
state commeic &c is quoted as saying Of Mr. Nor.
ton; He has duty to the president, which is
paramount to his private views. The president
has been most active in his efforts to obtain
railroad rate legislation. Secretary Morton prac.
tcally said today that such legislation is not re.
quired. That, at least must be the Inference
drawn from his remarks"

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
Chicago sees the necessity of city ownership
Of the drainage canal The power now being de-
veloped will amount to 10000 to 10000 horse
power. The city should clearly acquire this
power itself rather than let it pass to private
hands But, says the Record-Herald, the city
can not manage the plant with the desirable
economy unless it can operate it by day as we'll
as by night. With this development the city
would have large supply of electric power to sell
III the daytime and also surplus of light to sci!
at night until such time as the growth of the
ctys population would absorb all the lighting
current for municipal uses proper
Mr. Wilson, manager of the Glasgow gas
works, which under public ownership has reduced
the price of gas from $1.1O to so cents per thou.
sand, sums up the whole case for municipal
ownership thus:
i do not see why any municipality should
not buy out a private company at fair
cash value, without the watered stock, pay all
securities and meet all fixed charges out of
the current revenues. That is exactly what
Glasgow has done One private company
bought another, with the only difference that
profits appear as dividends in private COM
pany, but in municipality the profits are
used to reduce the price of gas to the con-
sumner. Municipal ownership is the only
practical cooperative gas company"
Mr. William Alexander Smith, leading
spirit of the private telephone company of Glas-
cow attempts to draw the distinction between tee.
phone service and other public utilities, such as
lighting street railways and water that every
body uses the last three while only part of the
people use the telephone and he gives that as a
reason for his assertion that the private tee-
phone service has given better satisfaction than
the public. Mr.. Smiths interested WISH however,
may well be father to his thought and his dis.
tlnction apparently lacks sufficient difference to
be OF practical consequence. But his testimony
to the successful public operation of the other
enterprises is unequivoca:
4 am glad to bear testimony to the fact that
municipal ownership Of the principal public utili-
ties has been spendidy successful here in Glas-
gov. 1t began with the attempt to utilize the
pure water of Loeb Katrine, forty miles away.
and this was accomplished successfully under tho
city management We have followed that up
with municipal control of the tramways Our
street car system is admirable and you have at
once seen that the service is of the highest grade
The cars are clean, the attendance is good, and
the system as whole reflects the greatest DOS
sible credit upon the city.
Practically the same thing is true of the
gas. The city has gone into this enterprise in
tellgently and has given good service. So far,
therefore, as the water system, the tram lines,
and the gas lighting are concerned, fully believe
ir municipal ownership of those great public
utilities"
