STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
pre-Holiday Closing Up of Outstand.
ium Contracts

New York, May 29.-The stock mar
ket today was of the usual holiday
character, largely confined, that Is, to
the closing up Of outstanding contracts
and showing little disposition to make
new commitments. The prevailing
speculative temper ON the stock eN
change was 10 be inferred from the
fact that most of these outstanding
commitments were on the short side of
the market The general hardening of
prices during the day was due more to
that fact than to any new phase in
conditions, The brisk rebound in the
Gould issues was interpreted to mean
that the shock Of the Wabash-Ptts-
burg embarrassment had been prac-
tically absorbed by the market in the
downward plunge Of the last few days
in the group No authoritative an
nouncement was made until after the
session Of the course to be pursued in
the matter Of the interest due on Mon
day on the wabash Pittsburg nrsts,
but it was taken for granted in the
financial district that a reorganization
through recevership was In contempla-
ton. The feature of the stock market
was the aggressive strength Of the two
Hill railroad stocks The personality of
the brokers buying the stock gave the
impression of accumulation by the con-
trolling interest and induced the trad
ers to follow the movement. The adj
vance in the stocks revived once more

which has appeared previous to each

and this fact helped the remainder Of
the list. Trading was exceedingly
quiet at times during the afternoon,
but it had q strong undertone up to
the last hour. Shortly after $3.50
o'clock, following the announcement of
the ocular quarterly dividend of l "a
per cent. by Northern Pacific, this
stock broke violently from 1856 liz to
1873 ga, in a few minutes. This was
due to disappointment on the part OF
various traders, apparently, because no
extra payment was made. This same
experience has been repeated so many
times. with brea.; each time In the
stock, that 1t is doubtful IL many per-

FOOD PRICES DROP.

Wholesale grocers and jobbers say
that prices on almost every article
of food, except fresh Vegetables and
produce. will gradually decrease in
price during the coming year. Some
articles have already decreased in
price. notbaly cheese. spices. dried
fruits and packing house products.
Owing to low prices for meat on
the hoof. meat prices have already
been reduced in a degree. especially
pork. Other packing house products
are following. Dealers do not fear
the lowering tendencies of the
malket as they believe the people
will eat more and the demand from
retailers and consumers will in
crease as the prices decrease.
The decrease will be gradual as the
market has been too high, the jobbers
admit, and a reaction is sure to
come.
Even champagne will go down.
The etfervescent wine will cost 81. .OO
less per case by the middle of March.
