Asks For a New Injunction Law.

Albany, n. Y, Jan. 25.-Assembly.
man Stern introduced a bill regulating
the use of the injunction in disputes
between employers and employees. The
measure provides that an injunction
shall not be g"lnted to an employer
except on such notice as the court may
direct to restrain acts alleged to inter-
fere with the employers business with
employees. The present law provides
that an injunction may be granted to
restrain acts that would produce in
jury to the plaintiff during the penden-
cy of an action where it appears from
the complaint that the plaintiff de-
mands and is entitled to judgment
against the defendant.

 This is very striking showing of the extent to which formerly concentrated holdings of corporation shares have been scattered into smaller holdings in large number of hands. The wider interest from such welfare of corporations as is to be inferred from this showing is count ed upon to soften the tone of public hos tflity toward corporations to a consider able extent or so to influence the course of proposed legislation. It Is evidence of the alertness shown by large class of investors to take advantage of the low values which ruled during the past year. The absorption of the floating supply of shares in the stock market thus effected formed a substantial foundation on which to start the extensive rise in prices which has occurred since. As to how far hold ings have been redistributed since as a result of attraction of high prices brought about in the speculations, only supposition can be made. The shifting of purely spec ulatye holdings also, which do not often figure on the stock transfer books of cor porations, has no light thrown on it by thse figures
 The publication of the government De- cember 1 estimate of the condition of win ter wheat crop was an event of someRim- portance. The insgnifcance of the S5 condition reported is somewhat obscured by the active speculative conditions in the wheat market, and the exaggerated estimates of the damage done to the plant of private experts last week. The vio- lent break in the price of wheat which followed the appearance of the report was due to the previous advance based on these reports. The commencement on div ieends at the rate of per cent on Wis consin preferred stock was a sustaining factor in keeping alive speculative inter- est in that class of stocks which have furnished the features of the market for some time Money and exchange were not ma terially changed in rates.

SUDDEN SLUMP
 IN WHEAT MARKET
Government Report Is Shown
 to Be Very Bearish
LITTLE SUPPORT IS GIVEN
Corn Is Weak All Day Owing to De- cline In Wheat and Low Tempera- ture In Corn Belt-Oats and
 Provisions Close Weak.

Chicago, December 7.-Wheat prices on the local exchange declined cents to- day for the May and July deliveries owing to general selling based on a bearish showing of the government report The market closed weak at the lowest point. Corn. oats and provisions also closed weak.
 Announcement of the estimate made by government officials relating to the condi- tion and acreage sown to winter wheat in the United States was made at the noon hour, and was the occasion for active sell ing of wheat on the local exchange the remainder of the day. As a result of this general prices declined from 12sc to .2@29sc from the high point of the day, the May and July deliveries showing the greatest losses. Leading bulls apparently gave the market no support, and the prin- cipal buying was done by shorts and commission houses. According to the government official statistics the crop was placed at S53, compared with a 10-year average of 92.2, and the total acreage was estimated at 29,sS4,OOO acres, a much larger acreage than generally expected would be shown. The market was also weakened by an increase of 2,242, 900 bush els in the visible supply of wheat in the United States. Prior to the publication of the government report the market was fairly steady and trading was inclined to drag The market closed at the low point for all deliveries, December being at $1 .04as, May at $10Ss4 and July at s101s4. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 507 cars, against 115S last week and $40 year ago.
 Corn was weak all day, the December delivery showing especial weakness. The market was affected by the slump in wheat and by the low temperature which prevailed over the entire corn belt. At the sample tables the price of the cash grain was off 1ac to 1c. The market closed weak at the bottom, with prices off asc to 1c, compared with the previous close. Final quotations on December were 6o1kd6O9sc; on May, 6214a62ssc
 Oats were dull and weak, the heavy tone being due chiefly to the decline in corn. Cash houses were the principal sellers and demand came mainly for commission houses. The market closed at the bot tenn, with prices 14c to 5sc below Satur- days final quotations, December being at 495s@49s4c. and May at 52c. Local re- ceipts, 10S cars.
 Provisions were weak on selling by sew eral of the leading local packers, based evidently on the extremely liberal receipts of live hogs Arrivals of live hogs here today were estimated at 7S000 head. The market was also affected by the weakness of grain. At the close prices were down 715c to 25c.
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat 67 ears, corn cos, oats 124, hogs S5.00O head.
