NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, Feb 23.-Suspicion and distrust
of the speculative position in the stock market
spread rapidly today and brought the fabric
of values down with crash. The conviction
was quick in forming after the opening Of the
steel market to competition last week that
the stock market was artificial and had been
brought about by false assumptions OF the
trade positions.
Various factors combined to accentuate the
weakness. The serious view taken in London
paved the way for renewal Of the downward
course.
London sent heavy selling orders to New
York as soon as trading was begun, thus help
ing the downward rush. There was also con-
siderable accumulation of orders from domes-
tic sources.
A new weakening feature came in the IN
ference of the federal court decision against
the New York Central for rebating.
The speculative element jumped to the con-
clusion that a later decision would uphold the
constitutionality of the commodities clause Of
the Hepburn law and constrain the anthra-
cite railroads to get rid of their mining prop
critics.
Another reduction in the price Of copper and
the new trial of the Standard 4-elped increase
the gloom. Reading sold as low as 11S, loss
for the day of 201s points. United States Steel
sold down to 411z and closed at the lowest, a
loss in price since Saturday of Az points.
Liquidation spread throughout the market
and prices at the close were off from to s
points in all the active stocks.
Bonds were weak. Total sales par value,
$7,29000O. United States IS coupon bonds ad-
vanced u per cent on call.

FLAVELLE OIL BILL
RECEIVES HARD JOLT

The FIavelle oil inspection bill received
a hard jolt at the hands of the oil produc-
ers of Southern California at a gathering
at thee hamber of mines yesterday
1t is pointed out that the inspection fee
of 40 cents barrel-which is the fee fixed
by the bill for inspecting small lots-is more
than the cost of production of the crude
oil, and even 10 cents a barrel, the mini
mum fee for large lots. would tax the in
dustry to the extent of nearly s5,0ooo0O a
year.
1t would take only about fifteen minutes
to inspect one Of the 55, 600 barrel tanks it
is stated, yet the fee for inspecting it would
be $500.
The fact that it is made to apply to
fuel oil is what makes the measure espe-
cially hard the general oil industry, it
is said. The price of fuel oil now received
by the producers agencies is only little
more than so cents per barrel, yet this
measure would exact a tax of at least 16
per cent on this oil, just for inspecting it.
The oil men have little fear that the bill
will become law, but because it would
be such a serious blow to the oil industry,
they wish to go on record against it.

CHICAGO, Feb 23.-Operations in wheat to-
day enough to puzzle the most expert
enced in the trade The activity in May was
shared in larger way than usual by July.
In fact, it was the feature of the market for
the day that the new crop month showed rel
atively stronger than the May, in which the
bull leader has such great holding. There
a strong and higher opening, and this
was met by such liberal selling in several
quarters that the pit trade concluded the bull
leader was giving the market some long wheat.
He was openly buying July at the time. The
May price had sharp reaction of cent from
the early swell, and later went to higher
point than before the crop. The May
showed considerable reaction in the last hour,
closing 1854, barely a shade better than the
last price Saturday. July, on the other hand,
after selling a shade over 102, reacted and
closed only about half under the top at 1uI12.
Every foreign market displayed remarkable
strength for the day. Shipping sales of wheat
were confirmed at 140, 900 bushels. round
lot of hard wheat sold at 1 cent over the May
price. Visible supply decreased 15OO, 900 BUSH
els. 1t is a market in which it is very neces-
sary to protect profits when once made. On
the whole the conditions favor buying wheat.
Corn traders were a little demoralized by
the news today; receipts of 400 cars over the
holiday were not large. Strength in wheat
decidedly soft, unsettled, and covering by
shorts run the May price to 66s and July to
6515 Shipping sales were 1S5, 900 bushels. Wis
ible supply and local public stocks showed
moderate decrease. Everything considered, the
market should have more of a setback from
the high price of last week than has yet
occurred.
There was only moderate action in oats prices
for the day. Cash houses were early sellers
and the offerings were taken by commission
people.
Hogs at all packing points $4,000 fewer than
the same day last year. The market had a
firm tone at fair advance on the last trades.

MAN SHOT In EFFORT TO
R0UT IMAGINARY BURGLARS
Dispute Over Flats in San Francisco
Leads to Probably Fatal
ARRAY

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23.-Henry
G. Morton was shot and seriously
wounded Sunday while he was repell-
ing what he thought was an attack of
burglars in the Sixteenth street flats,
which he had been hired to guard
He was shot by William Phillips, a
contractor; John Mcdonnell, a painter,
and Thomas Scoble, who lay claim 10
the flats which Morton was guarding.
These men built the flats for e. w.
Fuller, and the latter, who was dissat-
isfied with the work. declared he would
take forcible possession and complete
the job.
When the contractors found Morton
in possession they attempted to regain
the fiat, and the shooting resulted.
Phillips and Mcdonnell are under ar
rest, and the police are looking for
Scoble.
