ADVOCATES LOCK CANAL.
Senator Dryden Addresses the Senate
at Length,

Senator Dryden today addressed the
Senate at length in opposition to the bill
providing for a sea-level canal across the
isthmus of Panama and in support of a
lock canal. Summing up the testimony
of the engineers who have passed on the
question of the type Of canal, Mr.. Dryden
stated that there were eight American
engineers strongly and unequivocally in
favor of lock canal, while four expressed
their views to the contrary. He added
"Subjecting the mass of testimony to a
critical examination, 1 cannot draw any
other conclusion or arrive at any other
conviction than that the lock project. in
the light of the facts and large expert
enee. has decidedly the advantage over the
sea-level proposition"

BULLS AND BEARS
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. June I4-speculators were
today by no means unanimous In their
opinions regarding the Immediate stock
market. The majority Of them. however,
did not see much In II, except from a trad
er's point Of view. until somsthing OF y
more positive favorable character devel-
oped to infuss new life In speculation.
The decline In prices yesterday was some
what disconcerting to the bull following.
and though many good Judges believed
that considerable rally would take place
today. tho consensus OF opinion was that
the market would again sell on. 1t was
pointed out that trading was almost en-
tirely confined to those who were simply
attempting to scalp more profits and were
ready to reverse their market position at
any minute. No doubt existed whatever
that the bulk Of yesterdays selling was
for the short account. although 1t Is adj
mitted that some long stock was liQui-
dated by discouraged holders.
1t was stated that the important bank
ing interests were taking little or no
active interest in the market, and until
these assume more positive inclination
to buy stocks some of the shrewdest
much of a seesaw market. in which only
the most agile spectators would be able
to make much money on either side.
Crop prospects, of course, continued the
topic of dominant interest, and price
movements on the stock exchange were
to be governed by conflicting reports from
the west. which would arrive from day
to day.
The best informed railroad interests de-
clared that the crop situation was by no
means so bad as some reports would make
1t. but on the contrary was quite satisfac-
tory.
No one in reality seemed to-have any
doubt regarding the good outturn Of wheat.
though. from a market viewpoint. the fact
was appreciated that reports of drouth in
certain sections or too heavy rainfall,
whether real or fictitious. were bound to-
have their influence temporarily on security
quotations. particularly since a very
wealthy clique OF Spectators was ranged
on the bull side OF the market and the bear
side of the stock market. Naturally the
crowd would not lose any opportunity to
make the most OF possible damage to the
growing cereals.

Aggressive Short Operations.

The weakness of today's market seemed
in fact to result very largely from ag-
gressive operations for the short &C
count There is little public interest In
speculation at the present time. and re-
versaI OF attitude toward the market of
one or more of the larger professional
operators would be quite sufficient to ex-
plain the results of today's transactions
In a general way 1t might be SAID that
the continued pressure upon the united
States Steel securities was again an IN
fiuence in unsettllng the remainder OF the
market and a similar effect was created
by the weakness Of Union Pacific and the
exceptionally sharp break in Reading.
The course of these several stocks was
commonly assumed TO reflect the disposi-
tion OF what are described by the profess
sional element as the big banking interests
and was treated accordingly. There was
very little news OF gossip to be attached
TO the dealings IN one stock or another
There have been rumors for the past few
days that the pool in Union Pacific stock
was to be dissolved on July /. but banking
interests long Identified with Union Pacific
securities aver that they have no informa-
ton as to any pool in Union Pacific ASIDE
from the well-known one in the preferred
stock and that IS to continue for long
time to come.

Readings Extensive Decline.

The particularly extensive decline in
Reading was wholly unexplained. save upon
technical lines, and 1t would hardly be rea-

THE CROP SITUATION GOSSIP

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. June 14.-With few ex-
ceptions the stock list today showed at one
time another during the business session
extensive declines below yesterdays clos
Ing figures
The tendencies of the trading seemed to
be mainly a renewal of those which pre-
vailed yesterday afternoon, and they were
not at all events accounted for by any
novel developments of a nature to induce
speculative pesslmism.
Assuming that the agricultural situation
IN for the time being the most important
matter relating to the market for securi-
ties. IL should be pointed out that the
weather news today was more propitious
for the growth OF the crops. and that the
grain markets reflected this condition in
quite a sharp reaction from an opening
advance.
Money market affairs also showed no
material alteration. and the local banks
were In the receipt of very heavy sums
of money from San Francisco.
The London stock market was gener-
ally heavy also. despite the very FAVOR
able weekly statement of the Bank oil
England but foreign arbitrage houses
were buyers in the local market after the
decline in prices had made substantial
Roadway.

Notes From G .llen Crock.

l am glad TO slate to the man,
readers of your paper that the churcl
at Golden Greek has had good
revival meeting, in which the church
was greatly revived and I think great
good was done. On Sunday, Sen
tember End, the pastor, Rev. Mr.
Atkinson. led ID happy converts in
the Twelve Mile river and buried
them in Baptism in the presence OF q
large congregation. He returned
back to the house and preached in
the grove to something like 600
people. The Golden Creek. people
are to be commended for their good
order during the meeting. There
are five others awaiting Baptism.
The total additions to the church
during the meeting were %.
Prof. w. A. Porter has just closed
a singing school at Golden church.
in which the children were mpcb
benefited. I think the people Of
Golden Greek church should mako
up school for Prof. Porter for this
"'n'ef' S. Jewell.
