FIVE ICE INDICTMENTS.
Special Grand Jury Takes Action
 Jerome Failed 10 Bring.

New York, June l9.-The special grand jury which has been investigat- ing the alleged Ice trust since May {, reported this afternoon to Justice Golf In the criminal branch of the Supreme court, handing up five indictments.
 Indictments are said 10 be against of- hcers of the alleged trust. Who the persons are could not be ascertained. Bench warrants were iesued.
 The grand jury's presentments are the result of the special investigation begun when Gov. Hughes on February II, in response to request from At torney General Jackson designated him to present the so-called Ice trust cases to the grand jury. This action took the matter out of the hands\of Dis trict Attorney Jerome of the county of New York.
 MT Jerome had had the case before him for long time but had never secured an indictment replying to crit icisms that he could not find sufficient evidence on which to ask for an in- dictment.
 Upon order of Gov Hughes. Attor- noy General Jackson Immediately ap- pointed James w. osborne special de- putty attorney general to conduct the investigation for him.
 One grand jury failed to bring in dictments at Mir. Osborne's behest, and the attempt just ended successfully was his second.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Operations in Professional Hands
 Frccr Price Movement.

New York, June 19.--Operations in stock remained largely in professional hands to-day and although the move- ment of prices was somewhat freer than on earlier days of the week and was at the expense of values Pro- fessonal traders professed political motives for their selling of stocks, pointing to the anti-injunction plank of the republican platform as matter for disquietude to holders of secur- ties The likelihood of the campaign discussion taking a tone of aggression upon corporations was dwelt upon about the stock exchange. The days movement, however, did not vary from the recent rule in reversing that of the day before and thus pointing to the professional origin of the operations and the narrow dimensions of the market Yesterdays prices advanced without attention to some of the un- favorable factors which were in evi- dence, the motive of the buying being an assumption that with the repubn- can nomination out of the way, some general demand for stocks would en- sue. London adopted this supposition and started prices of American se- curities higher to-day. This ex- pected demand did not develop and professional buyers of yesterday were sellers in consequence. Some of the unfayorable developments which were passed over yesterday re- asserted an inhfuence to-day. This was seen in the wide break in Louis- vile and Nashville in consequence of the reduction of the dividend rate

Adverse financial news tended to check buying of stocks, and in fact caused selling of them, both for long and short accounts. The dividend re- auctions were perhaps the most po- tent Influence, particularly as some were predicting that Baltimore and Ohio and American Locomotive will be among the first to take action. The suspension of small trust company in Philadelphia, which was announced soon after the opening of business, had a bad effect, though 1t was soon discovered that 1t was an unimport- ant factor.
