 Memphis, Tenn, Dee. l.. Follow ina the recent engagement ol q par N of seventy Italians for cotton picking on an Arkansas plantation and their direct importation rom ltalY by the foreign agent oi the Cotton Belt system, great interest has been aroused in local railroad circles by a decision of the govern ment that fifty immigrants who had been sent to South Carolina under similar conditions must D" sent back to their native land 1h" SeH- enty Italians passed through Mem phis about three weeks ago.
 Taken in connection with he bomcsorkcrs excursions and other nImerous efforts to build up the southwest. the decision is consider ed of vital importance, although the -homcsekers" are in no wise involved in the recent decision.
 Maintain Foreign Agencies.
 Anxious tO secure as much lmnI- grant travel, as we'll as first class, as possible, practically all the roads
 centering in Memphis maintain foreign agencies, the leading repre- sentative being !. r. Spanier, ln Naples who handles the business of several companies. The Southern has also established a foreign agency recently the ottic" being lo- cated in London.
 Questioned as to the effect of the governments ukase. however. all the local railroads avcrrcd that 1t in no way applied to the class of inl- migrants they carry. these, II IS stated. being legitimate settlers and not to be classed under the head of foreign contract laborefs. Al the same time. however, the opinion prevails that the decision will have a tendency to discourage further en- agreements of eotton-pickin@ fo1= eigners
 To Interest and Enli2!lten.
 As matter of fact, said rep rcsentative of the Cotton Belt, neither We nor anyone else want the kind of immigrants that com posed the party bound for Arkan- sas. and will take any other class in prefcrencc Our foreign agency is maintained simply to interest prospective immigrants in the terri tory covered by our system, and to enlighten them on it's many advan- tages and attractions. It IS not designed to engage men as cotton pickers, or in any other capacity, and ship them directly to such oe- equations, but only to secure their patronage for our lines when they, on their own initiative, make up their minds to come over.
 Similar sentiments were express ed by l. l.. Graves of the Southern railway. and the same statement was made by representatives of oth- CT roads. also.
 Dumpcr on Movement
 Iii some quarters. however, the decision was regarded as a damper to an alleged movement to ship hordps of immigrants direct from their homes to specified cotton plan- tations or other dcstinat ions, and the opinon is entertained that for

THE GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO, June 15.-Continued absence
of rain In Kansas and Nebraska was one Of
the chief factors that contributed to a
strong tone in the local wheat market today.
Other factorsf were smaller Argentine ship

houses were active bidders but offerings
were light. July opened Aa% to ssah nigh

MATTER OF JURISDICTION,
Views Of the Commissioners Regard.
ing Sixteenth Street Extended.

After hearing the opinions of the chiefs
of the engineer department and Of the law
department of the District, the Commits
sioners have agreed to inform Secretary
Hitchcock that 10th street extended Is not
subject to the control or Jurisdiction of the
Secretary Of the Interior under the provi-
sions of section 1918 OF the Revised Statutes
Secretary Hitchcock wrote to the COM
missioners on April IL, stating that the
attention of his department had been d.
rected with a view to action under the
Revised Statutes to the fact that portion
of the line of 10th street extended Is barri-
caded by q fence belonging to the Bright
wood Driving Association, and he asked for
any information bearing on the subject
which might be In possession of the Com
missioners. Capt Jay ]. Morrow, assist
ant to the Engineer Commissioner, in
dorsed the papers to the effect that con-
18th street were undertaken in 1900 and
that the verdict was confirmed April 10,
1902. Capt. Morrow stated that strip of
land 100 feet was acquired at that time
and the driving park authorities were in
formed, verbally, that their fence could re-
main until the Commissioners required It's
removal. which, he stated. is not necessi-
tated at the present.time because 10th street
north of the Blagden MIL road Is only a
paper street. The opinion was expressed
by Capt. Morrow that the section of the
Revised Statutes mentioned by the Secrs-
tary of the Interior Is not applicable to the
case in point because the street Is the
property of the District and not OF the
United States. and, furthermore, that It Is
not located within the limits of the city OF
Washington. This view of the assistant to
the Engineer Commissioner was upheld In
the opinion OF Corporation Counsel Thomas.
and the Commissioners have approved both
statements of fact. with the additional rec
ommendation that Secretary Hitchcock be
informed

BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 16--After yesterdays
sharp break in prices. some apecuiators
we're inclined to look for q rally today,
though others were by no means certain
that It would be maintained. The con-
sensus of opinion was that the marker
would continue irregular and rather un-
settled for the rest of the week at least
The general fall In prices yesterday was
not attributed to any change In funda-
mental conditions. but was regarded as an
outcome Of technical conditions which
proved to be unsound.
The liquidation which occurred, however,
has admittedly improved the technical po-
sition OF the market in so far a. 1t re-
duced the commitments on the long side OF
large speculative operations and also served
to increase very heavily the short interest.
1t was expected that considerable cover
ing movement would occur today. with .
consequent advance In prices. though In
the opinion of some of the best Judges. the
market would be called upon to absorb fur
Their offerings Of long stock while tho bear
ish element would continue to put out fresh
lines of shorts on any rises which might
occur.
Until there appeared a more positive In
ing interests to extend support. or until
the market developed more buying power
independently 1t was believed that good
deal Of conservatism should be exercised
in the purchase of stocks, except for q
turn. It was held that such bullish opera
lions as have been undertaken of late,
chiefly by highly speculative cliques, were
not of the sort to encourage outside par
ticipation for the moment.
The best judges, however, by no means
believed that further heavy decline in prices
was likely to occur and the opinion pre-
vailed In good quarters that another set
back. such as was experienced yesterday,
would be sufficient to induce considerably
broader interest in the market.
The strength of Baltimore and Ohio in
the face OF an otherwise weak market was
the subject Of much comment, though the
rumors of an early increase in dividends
were not credited in well-inforfned quarters.
The buying of the stock. however, was said
to have been of a most excellent character
and was attributed chiefly to very
wealthy individual closely identified with
the property. On what the buying was
based, aside from the fact that Baltimore
and Ohio as a S per cent dividend payer
was away behind the rest of the market,
cannot be learned
1t Is reported that the United Metals
Selling Company will increase It's capital
stock from $1,000, 900 to either S.. 900 900 or
$l0,OOOOO and that the new stock will be
apporttoned among the stockholders as a
stock dividend. The company has been
paying dividends at the rate of twenty per
cent per annum for some time and has also
financed the construction Of new refinery
at Perth Amboy. 1t is this outlay which
will be capitalized by the stock dividend
payment.

TO SAVE THE FLAGS.
Recommendation Made by Chief Belt Of
Fire Department.

Because the flags of the department soon
deterforate and become unfit for use Chief
Engineer William T. Belt of the fire depart
ment today recommended that former
order of the Commissioners requiring the
national colors to be displayed on all fire
stations throughout the year be rescinded
Chief Belt stated that the flags soon wear
out when exposed to the elements at all
hours and seasons of the year. and he add
cd that the appropriations allowed his de-
partrnent were insufficient to be called upon
to continually renew the flags
In lieu OF the former order Chief Belt
recommended that the Commissioners au-
thorize an order that flags be hoisted on
the fire stations only from sun-up to sun
down, and that only during fair weather.
and on state occasions. such as national
holidays, etc, Commissioner Macfariand
has approved this suggestion and the paper
has gone to the other Commissioners for
their consideration.
