ne had had an audience with the pope. He
said lat the pope looked remarkably well
and was in the same appearance as he was
two years ago, when he was compiimented

The pope said that he felt well. and that
his heart. Notwithstanding reports to the
contrary, was as sound as bell. The
weakness In his knee. resulting from re-

pearing.

NEW YORK. June 0.-with no new de-
velopment of Importance overnight, the
stock market opened showing a resumption
of the heavy tendencies which character
lied yesterdays closing dealings.
There seems to be a continuation of I'M
easincss respecting crop conditions in the
west, although this mornings advices in
that respect were reassuring and the grain
markets were reactonary. A diniinution of
the heavy rains in the northwest was re-
ported and generally favorable information
was received from other portions of the
grain belt.
The London market was generally heavy
and American stocks were quoted there at
declines ranging from one-eighth to one
half point below parity with New York 8
closing prices Of yesterday, but pracu-
cally nothing was done here for foreign ac-
count. -
The weekly reports of the mercan tile
agencies upon the condition of the coun-
trys trade were gratifying exhibits.
Trading in Light Volume.
Trading was in very light volume through
out. the business session and was almost
entirely OF professional character. Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron was one of the most
active AID weakest features of the market,
but declines were common in the Industrial
stocks and the railway list.
Consolidated Gas was also under marked
pressure because of a better understanding
of the actual intent OF yesterdays judicial
decision. Dealings in the railway list were
largest in Reading, Erie, Union Pacific and
Atchison
AS had been expected the weekly bank
statement showed partial correction of
the large discrepancy in the cash item re-
ported in last Saturdays returns. While a
small loss in actual cash had been indi-
Gated In the preliminary estimates an in
crease of nearly 100000 was set forth to-
day.
The loan account showed an expansion of
s7B19O00. which with the gain in cash
caused deposits to rise s1O,3S4 900 In con-
sequence, surplus reserves increased only

PttsblTg, Jan. . lit Is predicted
that the mo pass" rule of railroads,
which went into effect on New Years
Day, will cost the railroads many mill
lions of dollars in Pennsylvania before
1907 Re'aliatory measures are already
being framed by legislators. and they
can probably do enough damage at the
extraordinary session beginning Jan
uary l3 TO offset all the free passes
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
Mas Issued in year.
William T. Greasy. democratic lead
er from Columbia county, has already
received enough promises from re.
publican members throughout the
state to insure the passage OF his bin
allowing trolley lines to carry freight.
The Pennsylvania railroad company
has succeeded for twenty years in
suppressing such a bill Immediately
after its Introduction. Such law
would cost the railroad about $1,000.
900 annually.
Representative Lawrence B. Cook,
Of Pittsburg propoyes to introduce q
bill that viii make It a misdemeaner
to charge for more mileage than ac.
ually exists. The Pennsylvania has
in the past twenty years shortened
the route between Pittsburg and New
York by about fifty miles, but It still
charges for the old distance.
Bills are contemplated that would
fix the rasponsib lity for accidents and
compel the railroads 10 provide more
safety appliances, Bills to insure bet.
ter sanitary arrangements IN cars to
provide O seat for every passenger,
and to change the laws that give the
railroads such a great monopoly over
the state are now under confederation
The laws allows 20 cents per mile
for the assemblymen during a session
Heretofore the railroads gave this
members annual passes and as many
trip passes as they cared to use while
the sess on was in progress.
In the Piusbnrg city conacfff the
Pennsylvania, the baltimore and Ohio
and the Wabash railroads have four
teen bills pending, each relating tt
some concess ions needed for i'm
provements or extensions. Two
mcnths ago any of these bills would

they are all being carefully scruti-
nized- The bills have been referred

bossed the mayor and the councils of

nance giving concessions worth about
