STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Closing Up of Accounts the Important
 Influence.

New York, May 2s.-rhe closing up of accounts was the important influence at work to-day in the stock market The same influence was effective in London. Here the Decoration day hol- iday tomorrow was the motive There the conclusion of stock market settle ment and the lack of verifieation of ru- mors current yesterday that failures were to result prompted the covering of short contracts. The iminent holi- day took away all inclination among traders here to enter on any new com mitments. The fact that the closing up of speculative accounts resulted in more buying than selling of stocks was confrmatory of the impression that the potion is largely extended on the short side of the market. The uncertain price movement of wheat and reports of more favorable weather in the crop regions added to the disinclination of shorts to remain uncovered over the holiday The sentiment in financial cir cles was that a sudden change in the prevailing unu6udl M6dLll6I might alleviate, to an important degree, demand for securities. The engage ment of $2,O00,00O gold for shipment to France tomorrow did not deter the bears in stocks, from proceeding with their movement to cover shorts. This amount was less than was estimated on Tuesday, when the first engagement was made, but 1t belied the assumption of yesterday that no engagement would be made to-day. Discounts receded in London to-day, but conditions bearing on the gold movement were not other wise materially changed and the ques- ton of further outgo of gold is left open A rise in copper in the London metal market was 8 helpful factor for the metal stocks here. The speech to be delivered by President Roosevelt at Indianapolis tomorrow was much dis , cussed. Accurate knowledge of the substance of the speech was professed in many quarters, but confidence was less pronounced as to the interpreta- l tion to be placed on the speech in pub lie discussion. This was an element, however, in prompting the covering operations by shorts. Increasing atten- ton Is given to the showing of net earnings of railroads for April, as suc- .cessive reports received indicate cor rection of the recent excess of the in- crease of. operating expenses over the increase in gross earnings. The sus- tained strength of the days market in spite of it's extreme dullness drove the shorts into something like a scramble at the last and gave the fillip to prices which raised them to the highest of the day, but which were not fully main- tained to the closing.

Charges of manipulation in the cou- per metal markets are multiplying. Low quotations. 1t is claimed, are sent to Europe and similar prices are cabled here regardless of actual conditions, the object being to bring about depression through the uncertainty created, caus- ing consumers to stand off from a market that may easily become demor- alized.

An IMPOSSIBLE ORDINANCE.
rrom rhe ExamIne.

From The Examiner
The Capital agrees with, and desires
10 emphasize the logical reasoning it
tie following editorial from this morn
ing's Examiner
TnR Annapolis City Council has
passed an electric street railr"ad ordi-
nnnce under whose provisions Il Is
possible. but Lot probable, the trolley
cars may traverse our streets ia tAe
dim future.
The ordinance as passed is faulty
in many particulars. Conditions are
piled upon conditions, bonds upon
would suppose the railroad COM
panies had sinister motives in
seeking the franchise and were
likely to lay waste the city and dis
pCil her of her treasures.
Strictly speaking 1t should be en-
titled an ordinance to prevent cleo
trio railroads from using the City's
streets. II electric cars will benefit
the City and her people the Corpora
ton doesn't think so. and Alderman
Munroe's attack upon the franchise
MS whole was, after all, the most
logical stand to take. But from all
outward appearances. at least, the
Corporation individually and as a
body were moved only by a conscien-
tious feeling of duty toward the pub
lie, but they have certainly blocked
the way toward any immediate
realization of the project.
III they are satisfied. and there are
many that are, that an urban street
railway will be a curse and not a
blessing To the community, they
could not have taken a wiser course
than adopt such an ordinance with
its impossible conditions.
We do not suppose that the Council
will accept President Bishops offer
and have him frame new ordinance,
but we do think that opportunity
should have been afforded the rail-
roads to suggest certain changes in
the form of the ordinance as report
ed by the Committee of the Whole.
whereby it might have been shorn
Of some OF its prohibitive features.
Possibly il is not yet too late to find
some common ground npon which
the greedy corporations and the guar
dians of the public veal may act.
Certainly much simpler ordinance
could have been passed whereby a
single track could be laid down Main
Street, around the Market TO King
George and thereby accomplish three
important objects. namely. about
one-half the amonnt of track, a min
imum injury to the yirtified brick
streets and the preservation OF Col
lege Avenue and King George Streets
from the trolley invasion.
