NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, March 15-Busness in stocks
taaay fell another degree in the scale toward
idleness. The assembling Of congress had
little effect in releasing the market from It's
bonds The delay in reporting the new tarin
bill and in sending in the presidents speclai
message was the assigned motive for the halt
Confidence is not great that these events VIII
end the season of dullness Of stocks. The
troubled European situation was Responsible
for some of the heavy tone at the outset. Sell
ing orders were executed in various inter-
nationally listed stocks, with the result OF
carrying them under the closing level OF Satur-
day. The Balkan situation is taken into &C
count as one OF the influences likely to keep
affairs unsettled and which are tended to
deaden the speculation in stocks. Spectators
Ia Reading had another disastrous disappoint-
ment in the absence of decision OF supreme
court on the commodities clause test case. Inc
strengthening effect of this postponement on
the stock is taken to indicate that the profess
sional speculative element is counting still on
a decision adverse to the railroads. Prices OF
copper were marked down again, railing tul
quarter of a cent per pound.
The free engagements Of gold for shipment
to Argentina and the likelihood of Its being
supplemented by further outgo 10 London lett
the money market unruffled Demand Tor
mercantile employment remains at low stage
and the stock market shows no prospect OF any
such active demand for funds as would alter
the situation in the money market
Buying Of bonds has fallen off and left that
department dull in agreement with the stock
market. The price movement so nearly BAL
anced In their contrary courses that the net
changes are trivial. Bonds were irregular.
Total sales, par value, $2,394,0o0. Govern
ment bonds were unchanged at call

GRAND JURY WILL CAST
DRAGNET FOR GRAFTERS
Court Authorizes Use of Inquisitive
Body to Probe Scandals in
Pittsburg

PITTSBURG, March 15.-Judge L. I.
Davis authorized the use of the March
grand jury which was called into
extra session for "dragnet' purposes
in connection with the municipal COR
ruptiofl scandal. This opens the way,
it is said, for important graft develop
ments.
District Attorney James A. Blakely
has been given the power of the court
to cast the grand jury dragnet for all
bride givers and bride takers.
Judge Davis today gave the grand
jury binding instructions to consiGer
carefully all letters brought to their
attention by Mr.. Blakely, who has been
given full power to conduct the inves-
tigation and to find true bills against
all public officials and citizens against
whom testimony shall be introduced.
This will lead, it is said, to thor
ough and complete investiga ton of the
municipal corruption scandal in this
city.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET

Special service to The Herald by Dick Bros.
& Co.. members New York Cotton exchange,
Bradbury building, Los Angeles.
NEW YORK, March 15-The cotton market
today was the smallest in long time and this
is saying great DEAL as dizziness has been
the rule lately. Prominent spot interests gave
good support and their efforts to hold the mar
ket were successful. The recent narrowness
of the market has been its salvation. There Is
rather too much rain in the eastern belt, but
the season is too early for this development to
be serious Southern mills are reported to be
run out of orders in some instances and the
trade outlook is less favorable than it has
heen for some time.
