slight demand and few offerings. During
the early part of the session sentiment
favored lower prices because Of the decrease

of increased worlds shipments for Mon

mand also exerted depressing effect on
prices. More animation was evident in the
market during the last hour, and consider

mary receipts was the cause of the stronger
tone. Total arrivals today at all primary
points were $4,000 bushels. compared with
10000 bushels for the corresponding day

HEARD ON CHANGE

There was little In the market this week
OF a local character that was at all note
<wortBy-: It was by all odds the dullest
week of Che season, and the sale list was
sparse. indeed. There was some activity
in the railroad list from time to time. and
small demand for some OF the bank
stocks. but as whole the market was abb
sofutely featureless. Toward the end OF
the week the return of seyerai members OF
the board, including two bankers, livened
up things for the moment, and there are
signs that the market will be far more In
teresting during the coming week. Several
of the stocks on the list went up without
any extensive sale lists-a proceeding which
some of the brokers regard as healthy.
The failure Of the New York bucket shops
was the source Of much discussion on
change. The fact that some local specula-
tors were rather hard hit did not meet
with much sympathy on the part of the
legitimate brokers. There have been fair
ures enough in the bucket shop game re-

Dangerous Wall Street Game.

From the New York Journal Of Commerce
The theatrical announcement of the ex-
traordinary dividend action OF the Union
and Southern Pacific railroads after the
opening OF the stock exchange last Friday
has had the effect that was apparently In
tended by the powerful speculative inter-
ests that directed that action. For a long
time the public" had been apathetic about
the stock market, and it was mostly in the
hands Of professional operators. who
swayed 1t to and fro with their customary
devices. 1.-THE public had been too busy
to give 1t attention or had been wary Of its
gins and pitfalls The ordinary lures had
failed to draw them in. What was needed
was a boom market that would be ire
sistible. The Hartman coup was the thing
to bring 1t on. and 1t was industriousy
worked up on Friday and the Saturday
half day, and the boom" went seethine
over the country. On Monday came the an
ticipated rush to buy on a rising market
and orders came from all directions in vol
ume to swamp the brokers and make a
record on the exchange for the morning
hours. On only two rarely exceptional oc-
casions had such an all-day record been
reached. The profits of the insiders and
the manipulators. including men who have
widely affecting the affairs, of Others are
reckoned high in the millions, and they
come out OF the substance earned by the
people In their various industries and call
ings.
Whatever may be said Of the new divi-
dends of the Pacific lines as an index Of
their own values. they added nothing to the
value of stocks ir general. but they served
the purpose of a stock market boom" and
the capture Of the dollars Of the covetous
and the unwary. The powerful interests"
had a large hold not only upon stocks, but
upon banking capacity and the loaning Of
money. whereby they could. at least for a
time. keep interest rates down and make
speculation easy for those who must Dor
row to maintain margins When the cul-
mination IL reached and the break comes
they will have equal capacity to make It
hard for those who are caught. They can
rake In their gains and let the market go,
with whatever crashing and wreck it may
produce among the smaller fry, who may
find money eight just when they need It
most, and when the low level Of prices II
reached they can recover their holdings to
such extent as they may desire. What con-
sequences may befan 1t Is not possible to
foreteu but II Is certain that what some
win at this tremendous game others must
lose, and 1t 10 the professionals and the
experts who will win.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, August 25.-The Mime

the state railway and warehouse commits
sion today demanding that the Chicago,
Milwaukee and ST. Paul railway furnish a
copy of the secret agreement between that
railroad and the Northern Pacific railroad
as to the coal rates between Hastings,
Mimi, and Duluth. The railroads refused
to allow the two companies to inspect the
agreement. The railway commission put
the matter before Attorney General Young
for advice as to whether or not mandamus
proceedings should be begun against the
railroads.
Attorney General Young advised the COM
mission to establish a rate on coal between
the two points as near as the commission
could guess as to what the rate in the
agreement was. and that, in doing so IT
would bring the railroads into the open
