NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, June 13.-The stock mar
ket remains in the same listless, dull
and uninteresting condition as during
the past few days. Outside Of a little
furry in the traction shares which bore
all the ear marks of manipulation. the
market did not furnish a single feature.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Inter

ing the session. a new low record
was established for the shares of the
marlborough company. The common
sold at SIS per share and the preferred

Liquidation was noticeable in other
quarters but not upon a large scale.
Reading declined from 10312 to 102 y
Shelters lost point and Copper dis

nothing in the way of news to stimu-
late activity and the professional ele-
ment bought and sold stock among
themselves without attracting any out
side interests. The market lacks a
leader or some influential buying be
fore it can be resurrected from its
present lethargic condition.

LION CLEARED THE YARD.
Pet of Minneapolis Man was Death to
the Dogs.

Mr. Nelson, who was much annoyed
by stray dogs burying bones in his
garden at Linden Hills, secured a lion
while he was in Europe last summer,
paying s2S7.50 for rather weather
beaten king of beasts, but one that
was guaranteed In every respect The
lion became a great pet on the way
over and came to know his masters
voice and obey it. It's name was
Henry. Arrived at Linden Hills Mr..
Nelson let Henry out into the back
yard and simply waited At 1880 on
the first morning a Newfoundland dog
as large as small garage walked into
the yard to step on the flower beds as
usual and to tip over the garbage can.
The lion saw the dog enter the yard
and the dog Just barely saw the lion.
Crunch" That was ALL 1t was the
sound made by Henry eating the dog.
At $40 a monster bulldog smelled his
way into the garden to rip up yard
of soil among the petunias. "Ki-yi!"
Crunch" The bulldog had gone
hence. BY 1880 Henry's score stood:
One Newfoundland, one bull, four fox
terriers, an Irish setter, and two plain
dogs. Everything that came into the
yard collided with the lion and 10, It

over the experiment that he could not

around and felt good. In six weeks

Prices declined over a cent a bushel
during the early part of the session

gained. The selling appeared from the
same sources as that of yesterday.

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago. June 13.-WHEAT - July
wheat sold under so cents a bushel
right after the opening of the market,
but later recovered the loss and adj
vanced about two cents at the closing
hours. The same selling pressure ap-
peared in the market which caused the
severe shake out of yesterday. Liquid
alton by holders who were unwilling to
respond to the heavy margin calls ne
cessary in such erratic markets. Bear
traders forced their advantage and Of
fered wheat down in large lots. The
news in general way was more favor
able; the largest cash business being
reported so far this year. 1t is said
Winnipeg sold nearly a million bushels
of wheat to exporters. Liverpool mar
kets did not reflect the weakness which
was expected after the break of yester-
day.
CORN-Has been almost as active as
the wheat market. although the re-
operative power was not so strong.

No one seems to take seriously the
rumors alleging that certain stock
holders would institute proceedings to
enjoin the bond issue as well as to pre-
vent the payment of the Union Pacific
dividend. No one can deny that the
company is more than earning its divi-
dends and Union Pacific interests say
it is difficult to understand on what
ground an injunction against dividend
payments could be successfully sought,
as to the rumored seem to report the
rumored proposed action to enjoin the
bond issue any such proceedings would
seem to have quite a little foundation
as action would toward holding UP divi-
dend payments.

Joseph says: THE talk Of friction
between this country and Japan is silly
poppycock. Sell wheat on all rallies.
The big news of the day is that Europe
and America have raised a Russian gold
loan of $50, 1000, 600. This affords big
relief. The government asking for an
injunction against the dissolution of
the coal merger does not mean con-
fiscation of anthracite properties. Buy
