NEW CAPITOL ISSUES DISCUSSED
Heavy Fiotations in May Attracted
Attention to Subject-Aetion OF
Grain Markets Accepted as Test
rnony to Favorable Interpretation OF
Government Crop Report.

NEW YORK, June 8.-The long
persistent rumOrS of general cut III

came to be generally believed durins
the days session OF the stock ex'
change that substantial! reductions
would be announced immediately LOT
all lines except steel rails.
Attention was attracted to the sub
ject Of new capital issues by.the hs-
mes of the heavy tiotation for May
and the additional issues in early con
temptation. The May total Of $l66 :
$4,000 new stocks and bonds. while
somewhat lower than April IS far IN
excess of the issues for May of last
year. The total of $722,652.1a4. to
which the new issues since the first
of the year have risen. r.present an
unprecedented figure for that period.
The action of the grain markets af-
ter the publication of the sovernme nj
crop reports was accept d as testl-
mony to the favorable interpolation
placed on that document, in spite OF
the qualifying consideration of wealth
er conditions later than the date OF
making up the report.
The immediate weather news WAS
unfavOralIe, but its effect was over
come by the force Of the showing or
the government report.
An excellent effect was produced
by the report of further decrease in
the number of idle freight ears, in the
two wee ks ending May %, which was
offered BY the American Railway OPP
Grafton, the reduction of 22,33S re-
ported ON April 90.
The early strength in stocks was
connected with this report. The later
recovery was due to the government

Above every ambition for office,

However serious the obstacles

of human freedom; translate the
preamble and it means the Sermon
