STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
stagnant Conditions Continued to Pre-
 vail Yesterday.

New York, May 16.-Stagnant condl- tions continued to prevail to-day in the great securities markets of the world and the volume of transactions in New York was so trivial as to leave little significance in the price movements, which are due almost wholly to the shifting operations of small profess sional class who seek only to scalp a quick profit on a narrow price move- ment. Eager use was made yester- day of the short lived sensation caused by the publication of the purported re- port of the interstate commerce com mission on the Hartman railroads in- quiry, and efforts were made to extend this influence into to-day's dealings The efforts was practically unsuccessful partly from the, question raised of the authenticity of yesterdays reports but more directly because of the better per- ! ception of the sameness of the conclu- | sions said to have been reached by the commission with those which were fore shadowed in the stock market opinion of the period of the Investigation Some special weakness of Chesapeake and Ohio to-day might have been con- nected with the supposed recommenda- | tion agreed upon by the commission to prohibit railroad companies from pur- chasing shares in other railroads. The | stCcks weakness was attributed. how ever, to rumors of a forthcoming note 1 issue. The Delaware and Hudson equipment note issue and the general electric convertible bond issue served to bring attention back to the question of the supply of liquid capital available to meet the needs of corporations. The course of the bond market offers no in f dication of the working off of conges- | ton of issue. The newly listed Lake | Shore debenture bonds signalized their | appearance in the stock exchange by a | decline to a low record figure Current reports Of the large proportion of sub scriptions which had been allotted in | the Union Pacific convertible bond un- derwriting took the edge off the first ] impression of the success of that trans action, whichywas of large oversub- scription. Conditions are brought Rgain towards the point of profit on ship monts of gold from New York to Paris, which seemed to be imminent in the early part of last week Time money rates here were rather easier to-day. Stocks seemed comparatively free from the reflected influence of the wheat market to-day until the late upward flight in wheat when stocks run off from slight advances which had been established. The increase in the Ma tional Lead dividend led profit taking |, in that stock and was without influence on the general list.

which were, as usual, the chief factors in the dealings.
 lAt the start there was some selling of stocks due to the talk of federal action against the Hartman roads, which the premature report of the interstate com merce counsel intimated the authori- Eation of about $2S 100000 bonds by the Delaware and Hudson and General Electric companies and reports that the New Haven would issue new securities to cover $6o,OOo,OO0 expenditure in and around Boston; a dragging foreign market and liquidation of weak ac- count there in Americans, and very bad reports from the European wheat fields encouraged some selling of stocks.
 A break of several points In National Lead, half of it coming right after the announcement of an increase in the dividend from to per cent, at mid day was one of the days features. This stock had been bid up points Wednes- day in anticipation of the news.
 The extreme dullness which prevailed in stocks during the morning was shown by the fact that during the sec ond hour the total sales were only SS.- 080 shares. Between 12 and 1 o'clock business almost came to a standstill. Sales for the first hour were 1s5.O0n shares, this period often being the most active part of the day. Outsiders did not participate at all.
 The wheat situation is no doubt col ored by speculation, but one cannot blind oneself to the fact that the whole wheat raising world is nearer to a crop calamity this year than for decade. weather conditions in Europe have been a duplicate of those here
 The selling of Chesapeake and Ohio which carried 1t down about a point further during the first half of the day, was commonly attributed to belief that the company needs fresh capital and will shortly bring out note issue Conservative crop reports from Rus sia tell the same sort of story that has been coming in from Kansas and Ne braska for weeks. and seems likely to be repeated when spring wheat in the Dakotas and Manitoba gets along fur ther. It is thought not too much to say that the crop of the whole world will be 4o0.O00,00O bushels less than it was in 1906, which will bring the total yield under SoOO,0oO,O00 bushels, the lowest amount in years.

LUCKY FACTORY GIRL.
WEEDS Capitalist Of 60 Years-Thinks
One Million Enough.

st. Louis.-Accompanied by his
fiance Miss Frederick Murphy, aged
20 years, who formerly was a Cincin-
natl factory girl, ]. E. Bryan, aged
60 years, capitalist, manufacturer and
poet from Xenia, Ohio, was married
here Saturday. Mr.. Bryan asserted he
had come to Missouri to have the cere-
mony performed because in no other
state could he find matrimonial laws
that suited him.
Bryan, who is nearly 60 years of age,
is seemingly elated over his marriage.
He said:
while it is true that am getting
to be an old fellow and she is SO
young, still a man does not have good
sense until he is 80, and my only fear
is that my little bride, who is un-
usually brilliant, will in time surpass
me in her knowledge. But I think it
is well for an old person to have the
ccmpanionship Of young persons, as it
keeps one young"
Mr.. Bryan said that neither he nor
his bride cared to be worth over
81 100000, and he would attempt to
keep his fortune below this figure. He
also emphasizes the fact that all of his
relatives, including his brother, have
prosecuted him, and that he will not
give them a penny now or at his death

MINES AND MINING.

Rossland, B. C.-Now that the min
ers' strike is settled in the coal fields
and the supply of fuel is assured to
the mines and smelters, the local
mines are increasing their tonnage and
will soon equal the production before
the labor trouble commenced, and
every one is looking forward to a per-
iod of good times.
Operating an electric tempo drill,
work has been resumed on the West
Hecla claims near the Hecla mine at
Burke, Idaho. The work was started
in the tunnel, which formerly was
driven so feet. The tunnel is being
driven on the ledge and it is calculated
that it will have to proceed 1900 feet
before the rich ore is reached. This
will be at depth of between 500 and
1000 feet.
A mining deal, generally conceded
as the most important transaction af-
fecting British Columbia mines since
the sale of the LIE Roi, has been
closed by Jay P. Graves of Spokane
and his associates, in the consolida-
ton of the California and the Giant
mines near Rossland. Mr.. Graves and
his associates hold control Of the new
company, which now owns both proper
ties. The new corporation, which has
capital stock of 100000, divided
into fifty thousand shares of par
value of 500 share, will be known as
the Giant California company.

company's smelter here has been able
to keep two 600-ton furnaces going dur
ing the fuel shortage, and can continue
until fresh fuel supplies are received.

Gently.
In the Occur d'Alenes.
More than one hundred and forty
eight million dollars in mineral wealth
has been taken from the Occur
d'Alenes since the district was first
opened as a mining center in 1884.
This vast sum represents the total out
put of lead, silver, copper, zinc, anti
mony and gold, and the figures are
compiled from government reports and
other reliable sources.
Work has been resumed on the Mel
lie group near Osborn. The mine
shipped about $4,000 worth of ore pri-
or to 1898.
The shaft on the Alice mine near
Mullan was deepened 80 feet during
the month of April, giving it total
depth of 260 feet.
The drift on the lead of the Idaho &
Los Angeles has progressed 60 feet,
and will be continued for 600 feet to
get under the big surface showing.
The Vienna & International mine
on Placer creek will begin shipments
within 60 days, the machinery neces-
sary to handling the ore having finally
arrived.
The ore in the Lucky Friday ledge,
recently cut at depth of $50 feet,
is proving richer in silver than any
ore ever found in the Occur d'Alene
district. The tunnel was in GA feet
when the ledge was cut, and gives
about 400 feet of backs.

.SCHMITZ
ON TRIAL
MAYOR OF FRISCO UP
FOR EXTORTION.
GOVERNMENT OF CITY NOW IN
HANDS OF COMMITTEE
OF SEVEN.

San Francisco, May 20-Eugene E.
Schmitz, mayor of San Francisco, will
be placed on trial in Superior Judge
DUNES court today on the charge
of extorting money from French
restaurant keepers. The charge is
similar to the one to which Abraham
Ruef pleaded guilty. The state code
provides that the trial judge may at
the beginning of trial order the de-
PENDANT, although under bond, placed
in custody. The matter rests entirely
in the discretion of the courts. 1t is
stated that the prosecution will ask
Judge Dunno to order Mayor Schmitz
into custody of an elisor. This will be
seriously opposed by the mayors at.
torney.
Indicative of Mayor Schmitz's attor.
neys to pursue dilatory course is an
affidavit filed alleging that Judge
Dunno was prejudiced against the
mayor and asking that his case be
transferred to another court.
It is further charged that Rudolph
Spreckels, the district attorney, the
UOdIu VI SupCINloOlO dAu Iu0 A0W .
papers have conspired to bring about
the ruin of the mayor.
The committee of seven business
men to whom Mayor Schmitz has Civ
en- full power to cope with the peculiar
situation brought about in municipal
affairs by the developments in the
graft investigation met today. An in
vitation has been extended to mum
Der of labor leaders to be present with
suggestions. The committee has is
sued a declaration of principles il
which it says:
1--WE intend to bring about clear
condition of affairs. in this community
and make it safe for habitation by hu
man beings and for the investment o.
capital
1--WE shall do nothing in the nature
of class legislation and recognize thai
every element in the community has {
right to representation in the govern
ment of the CITY,"
The grand jury has reconvened ant
it is stated by the prosecuting attor
ney's Office number of indictments
based on the testimony of 4.orahan
Ruef may be expected before the enc
OF the week.
