POPE REFUSES REQUEST.
VIII Not Sanction Clerical Mutual
Societies in France.

Paris. May IA letter from the Pope
10 the French clergy is published to-day
which refuses the papal authority for
the formation OF clerical mutual socie-
ties. on the ground that the hierarchy
is not allowed, by the French law, 10
exercise control over such societies. Of
which unworthy persons might become
members.
As regards to money left for masses,
which IL IS proposed these societies should
celebrate, the Pope appeals to the clergy
to celebrate the masses once a year In
accordance with the intentions Of the
pious donors. promising himself to cele-
brate a similar mass monthly. Further
more, the Pope. despite the restricted
limits OF our resources will provide the
sum necessary 10 celebrate 1000 such
masses annually.

favorable comparisons with those Of yes

ket to-day was nevertheless a further
violent decline IN values. partaklng even
more Of the headlong order that was
noticed on the preceding day and whleh
again testified with emphasis what was.
or at least had been. the overbought con
ditlon Of the market itself.
Right at the very beginning OF trading
yesterdays decline was resumed. but
for a considerable time thereafter. the

not little buying in Of contracts for the
fall by that class Of roAm-t trading specu-
lators who are content with or 3 points

accrue in short space OF time.
Market Under Control.
After this, up to the last hour Of busi-
ness, the market seemed to be well under
the control OF those who had previously
had it in hand, and it was the general
superstition among the rank and fle OF
people IN commission houses that the fall
had been checked and that prices would
once more so at least as high as they had
done early in the week before there was
any material recession But these expecta-
tons were cast down when the market

points from its high price Of yesterday.
American Smelling and Refining COM
mon stock was also especially weak, as
it was on the preceding day, stories
circulating that the company's busi-
ness had been so injured by a variety Of
circumstances, including the fall in the
price Of silver. that the matter under dis
cussion was a complete stoppage of
disbursements on the common shares.
Strong in Some Spots.
It Is fair to say. however that the
market to-day, if on the whole weak
was also not little irregular: that Is
70 say. that the effect of weak spots was
not little Offset by particular strength
in other quarters
All the Gould stocks, especially the
Missouri Pacific and Colorado Fuel and
Iron shares. displayed remarkable re-
siliency, the idea underlying this de-
velopment being apparently that the
Gould interests have recently received
support from financial powers OF the
first rank, or that, at any rate, such
tentative alliances have been made as

wark around many Of the Gould prop
critics.
Chesapeake and Ohio stock was stead

gain OF TWO points. and the current aac-
tion Of the stock Is commonly taken as
indicating that negotiations looking for
