mated by the Attorney General and one

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. June S.-After a rather
promising opening, with the dealings af-
fording some evidences of greater ANNA
ton and stability there took place gen
eral and quite pronounced reaction in the
stock market.
Its tendencies or. the decline were plain
ly enough in sympathy with the sharp
breaks which occurred In Union Pacific
and the United States Steel shares. Lit
tie in the way of news or gossip accom-
panied the dealings in Union Pacific.
In the case ot the United States Steel
shares there were, however. persistent
rumors during the day that further severe
cuts would soon be ordered in the selling
prices for all lines of finished products,
with the exception of steel rails.
Official confirmation of these reports
could not be obtained nor were any au-
thoritative denials forthcoming. 1t was
believed, however. that within day or
two some definite information on the sub
tect would be made public.
Market Dull and Irregular.
Following upon the reaction after the
opening the market at large became dull
and moved irregularly. Apart from the
interest expressed in the political outlook
ana the mllder interest tndI dttdcneu "
the government crop report. the conditions
in the steel trade occupied the larger part
OF the days discussion.
Nothing of any great moment was COM
prised in the developments over Sunday.
The London stock market remained closed
over the Whitsuntide holidays so no In
fuence was exerted from that direction.
Additional engagements of gold for ex-
port brought the total sum shipped or to
be shipped on the present movement to
upward of SAL 600 900. Local money mar
ket circumstances continued easy. how
ever, and the outflow of the metal was
scarcely referred TO as a factor in the
trading.
Betterment in Trade.
One encouraging evidence of better
ment in the trade of the country at large
was furnished in the fortnightly report
of the American Railway Association.
which showed a reduction in a number
OF idle cars of nearly $1,000 as compared
with the previous returns.
Aside from the United States steel
shares there was little of interest to be
elected from the transactions in individual
securities. At the outset of the market
National Lead. American Smelling and
Amalgamated Copper we're Arm on light
transactions but they later moved in COM
mon with the mainder of the list In
itia advances or one point and over in
Union Pacific. Northern Pacific, St. Paul
and Canadian Pacific were also obliterat-
ed with the course of the day.

CHEAPER ICE THIS YEAR
IL PRESENT PROMISE
Good Crops Cut From Local Ponds
Will Bring About Considerable
Competition.

Everything seems to point to a
spirited war between rival ice deal
ers of the district this season. as
much lake ice has been put up by
various small concerns which will this
year compete TO some degree with the
Transporting Ice Co. The latter
last year had a monopoly of the
trade. Chief among the competitors
this year will be the Argus Lake
company, which has just finished put
ting up slightly more than 400 tons
of ice, averaging 4 inches in thick
ness.
That competition will be active
this year will without doubt be good
news for the general public, as last
year the average price of the cold
stuff was about $40 a ton. or Two
cents a pound. On this account
many of the residents of the dis
trict could not afford ice except on
special occasions.
