Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, June 21.-Durtng the
greater part of the forenoon session upon
the stock exchange the market was ex-
ceedngly dull. but generally speaking
steady and in fact most of the changes
in prices were represented by fractional
advances above Saturdays closing quo
tations Toward midday. however, the
previously prevailing conditions became
radically altered. A very considerable IN
crease took place in the volume of busl-
ness and on the greater activity running
declines of from one to three points were
scored
The break in the market and II Woulo
not be incorrect TO apply that term TO
the sudden decline seemed to be more In
sympathy with the special weakness IN
number of individual stocks than due TO
any general cause
Speculative sentiment was particularly
disturbed by the round declines when
we're scored in sugar refining. Amalsa-
mated Copper and especially the United
State Steel shares. and 1t was plain that
the selling in those instances lnciteo
Nauidation in other directions.
In the railway list the Wabash stock
broke with particular rapidlty. ana, IN
fact. all Of the so-called Gouio issues
were noably weak. The severe declne III
the Wabash shares had no speclnc eA,
planation, but il naturally served TO put
Il quietus upon the rumors recentiy III
circulation that the control of the prop
erty was in process Of the transfer OF the
different hands.
Extensive Declines.
Other quiet extensive declines in the
railway list took place In Union Pacific
Ontario and Western and New York
Central
The local traction shares moved in line
with the general market, and the inter-
boro Metropolitan issues reflected particu-
lar pressure.
American stocks moved irregularly In
London, developing weakness after a
fairly strong opening. Operations here Tor
foreign account were. however. upon an
inconsiderable scale. being confined to the
sale of only about 10000 shares.
AS noted above. specific reasons for the
course of prices. apart from technical
market circumstances, were not avail
able. Among the matters discussed.
however in connection with the market 8
course were the proceedings at Washing
ton. including the Presidents 8 recommen-
dation for tax upon the net earnings
of corporations. the slow work upon the
revision of the tariff and the uncertain
status of the mooted listing of United
States Steel common upon the Paris
bourse.
These various subjects, 1t will be re-
called. were effective in the same direc-
ton in the stock last week. and as
they showed no change In any respects
over Sunday. it was not unnatural that
they should have carried a further effect
in today's market. Little alteration ap-
peared in fundamental circumstances.
Advices with respect to the progress OF
the crops were encouraging and money
changed.
Quite a sharp advance was noted. how
ever, in the rates for sterling exchange.

Special Cable-ram To The Star.
LONDON. June 21.-There was little
feature TO the gilt-edged investment mar
ket in the late afternoon dealings. Home
rails were quiet and firm. The market
for foreign securities was spotted with
Russian government issues showing
good tone. Spasmodic weakness was ex-
hibited in the kaffir department, owing
TO the impending settlement. De Beers
ended with a net gain of 1-l6 at IA Gle,
The selling of copper shares was renewed
in the late dealings and Rio Tintos
ended y under Saturdays final figure Of
16lz.
American railway shares were firm at
the official closing on support from New
York, but weakness developed on the
curb. especially in the L. s. Steel stocks
The continental bourses were quiet.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, June 2l.-Firm cables and
light offerings caused a firm tone in the
wheat market at the opening today and
initial quotations showed gains of u to

were moderately active bidders.
The bears, however, became more ag-
gressive early in the day and sold quite
freely on favorable crop reports, which
resulted in a loss of all the early gains.

KEEPING FOWLS IN THE CITY
PARTIAL VICTORY GAINED BY
FRIENDS OF THE ROOSTER.

The rooster has been granted a respite
Some weeks ago he was threatened with
exile from the settled section Of the city
His Punishment was recommended py
Health Oficer Woodward and Assistant
Corporation Counsel Stephens. and they
drew up regulations for the keeping OF
fowls that prevented a strutting chantf-
cleer from making his abode in any
square In which 40 per cent OF the IOtS
are built upon.
Following the announcement that such
a regulation was under consideration, the
mail Of the District Commissioners began
to increase in volume. and the writer's
of many Of the epistles were friends or
foes Of the Growing roos er. Some pic
tured themselves as tossing on beds or
sleeplessness through many nights be-
cause of the vocal efforts OF rooster
kept by a neighbor; others found that the
Growing of that fowl lulled them to sleep.
Left to Majority Of Householders.
The friends Of the rooster have won
partial victory. For today Commissioners
Macfarland recommended that the pro-
posed fowl regulation be adopted with
certain notifications. Among the changes
1t Is proposed to allow the keeping OF
rooster in a square or block having Is
per cent of its lots improved provided
the majority OF the householders in the
square give their consent.
The regulations proposed by Health Of
ticer Woodward and Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Stephens are as follows:
NO person shall keep any kind of do
mestic live fowl or pigeons. within the
any structure used for human habitation.
occupation or assembly. whether the said
structure be in the same or an adjacent
block or square, nor shall such fowls be
permitted to run. fly or stray within
fifty feet of any such structure.
mo such fowls or pigeons shall be
kept in any square or block having IS
per centum OF Its lots improved. without
a permit from the health officer Of the
District Of Columbia, nor otherwise than
in compliance with the following condi-
tions.
Then follow certain regulations provid-
ing for sanitary conditions In keeping Of
fowls or pigeons, and stipulating that the
permit be, revoked il the conditions are
not maintained
Mr.. Macfanland's Notifications.
In connection with these proposed regu-
lations Commissioner Macfariand has
moved before the District board, as fol-
lows:
Il move the adoption of the inclosed
draft of the regulations relative to the
keeping of fowls and pigeons. with the
following amendments.
Il. That the distance mentioned In the
first sentence shall be measured only
from a structure not owned by the owner
of the fowls or pigeons.
"2 That the distance within the fire
limits shall be twenty-five feet instead
of fifty feet.
- That no rooster shall be kept in
any square or block having ID per cent
of its lots improved, without the consent
Of a majority Of the householders in that
square or block.
Il move that the corporation counsel
be directed to incorporate these amend
ments in the redrafting of the regulation
before it is officially published"
Commissioner West has approved this
motion.
