SUGAR TRUST SETTLES.
Independents Suit for Thirty Mil
lions COMPROMISED Out of Court.

NEW YORK, June 9.-The suit of the
Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Company
for $3O,OO0,OOO damages from the Amer
ican Sugar Refining Company was formal
ly dismissed by Judge Holt in the United
States circuit court today, when counsel
for the plaintiff informed the court that
a settlement had been effected.
In a statement issued today by the
American Sugar Refining Company it was
stated that the terms of settlement would
not be made public officially until the
Pennsylvania courts had passed upon
them.
For more than two weeks the trust
had fought the independent sugar COM
pany. Judge Holt and a jury in the
United States district court had listened
to the story of what the plaintiff alleged
was conspiracy in restraint of trade.
Witnesses testified that Adolph Segal.
controlling power of the Pennsylvania
Sugar Refining Company, borrowed from
Gustav A. kissel $1,2JO,OOO, for which
he gave as security 26,O0O shares of the
company and voting trust certificate
for the stock, which was to run until the
loan was repaid.
kissel installed himself and three clerks
as directors of the independent sugar
board of directors he passed a resolu-
tion that the Pennsylvania refinery,
then nearing completion, be not opened
until further order of the board. 1t was
shown that kissel was an agent for the
trust.
Shortly after o'clock last night
conference in ex-Gov. Blacks Office
broke up, with the announcement tha,
though settlement had been reached
counsel could not give out it's terms un-
til ratified by the Pennsylvania cour,
which appointed Earle receiver.
So that Congress might keep the rur
of the sugar trust litigation. Senator
Culberson today had printed in the Con-
gressional Record a newspaper report OF
the compromise made by the American
Sugar Refining Company and the Penn
sylvania Sugar Refining Company.
He made a statement of an effort by
him through means of a Senate resolu-
tion to have the Department of Justice
prosecute the sugar trust for violation
of the Sherman antitrust law, which, he
said, had been fruitless.

den Treasure.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
VIENNA. June "a romantic story OF
supposed hidden treasure comes from

ing the thirty years war the town funds
were bricked up in a certain part Of the
Rathaus The place could be seen when.
at a certain hour on a certain day, the
shadow Of the Rathaus pire fell upon 1t.
The town council has resolved to find the
shadow by building a scaffold of the same
height and form.
Much excitement prevails. and many
bets are being made as to the result.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, June 9.-The bullish effect Of
yesterdays government report was offset
today by reports of rain in Argentina and
Germany, and as a result the wheat mar
ket early in the session was barely steady.
There was a fair demand for the July de-
livery due to the smallness of stocks in
store, the worlds stocks being reported
the smallest on record for this season of
the year. Owing to this demand the July
option displayed more relative firmness
than the more deferred futures. Prices at
the opening were unchanged to 3aak
lower July being at 1.1s7s to 1.191t. After
selling at lisa. July advanced to 1.19h.
The corn market was firm at the start.
because of the continued wet weather in
the corn belt but prices eased off a trif1e
early in the day. owing to selling inspired
by greatly increased receipts. July, which
opened unchanged to Il higher at 12L to
721@. sold off to 72ls.
The government crop report and contin-
ued liberal receipts had a depressing eff
feet on the oats market. Offerings, how
ever. were not large. July opened "a
lower at I,ls, and sold at 53A
Trade in provisions was quiet and the
market was firm owing to light receipts
of live hogs at all western packing CEN
ters. Prices at the opening were shade
| lower to 5a11s higher.
The wheat market was nervous all day,
but the undertone was one of weakness.
| The top price for July was 1.10l2 The
close was fairly steady with July off 1sa

The corn market became strong toward
midday owing to good demand by shorts

Another Monument to Confederates

A monument of marble or granite. to
cost about $500. is to be erected by the
United States government in the Confed-
crate section of Firms Point National
cemetery at Salem. n. j.. to mark the
resting place Of 2.460 officers and men of
the Confederate army and navy who
died as prisoners Of war at Fort Della
ware between 1862 and 1865. Bids for the
monument will be opened the 21st instant
by Col William c. Oates. commissioner
for marking the graves Of Confederate
soldiers. The adoption Of monument
for the purpose is due to the fact that It
has been found impossible. because OF I'M
perfect records, to place distinctive head
stones at each individual grave. as con-
temnlated by the act Of Congress. Com
missioner Oates has arranged also to
place wrought-iron fences around camp
Chase Confederate cemetery near Column

cemetery at North Alton, ILL

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, June 9.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady, but at decline of all
points in response to lower cables, con-
tnued good weather over the belt. a re-
newaI of scattering liquidation and local
bear pressure. There was, however. a big
demand at the initial decline, and during
the middle of the morning prices ruled
within three or four points of last nights
close on favorable cables, covering and
outside buying, encouraged by the possi
biity OF unsettled weather in the central

The market was steady late in the fore
noon on continued support from Wall
street bulls and wire houses, while July
was relatively firm following rumors that
a private settlement had cleared the sit
uation and would probably operate
against heavy delivery on contracts.

Money Market Unchanged.

The grain markets were not further
materially Influenced by the government
crop report Notwithstanding the discus
sion accorded the latter in stock exchange
circles.
Money market and foreign exchange cir
cumstances showed little alteration. The
usual dividends were declared on the
Vanderbilt stocks and upon Western
Union, the action taken upon the last
named security dsposing for the time
being of the reports recently current that
an advance would he made in the date at
the present declaration period.
There was a further advance in the
quotations for copper metal, but that cir
cumstance did not serve to prevent the
copper stocks from participation in the
tendencies of the market at large. There
were only a few exceptions to the general
drift of prices. the most noteworthy be-
ing sharp but poorly maintained ad-
vance in American Cotton Oil. At the
same time the general market evinced
from time to time a certain degree of rail-
lying power and business was maintained
upon large scale of activity and re-
fiected wide diversification of interest
AS might be expected, in view of the
recent characteristics OF the speculation,
the execution of stop-loss orders was re-
ported in many directions and the selling
of this description served naturally to ex-
pedite the declines in the stock in which

NEW YORK. June ?.-Liauidation of
speculative accounts. which at the outset
OF the stock market was of scattering
character and in comparatively small vol
ume but which became more general and
of greater proportions as the day pro-
gressed. resulted in a number of very eX-
tensive declines in today's stock market
Superticially the selling movement was
based upon the same general set of cir
cumstances which led TO the reactionary
tendencies in the market yesterday after
noon.
There were further discussion of the
low prices which were commanded bN
the showing made in the government crop
report 1t is open to question, however,
whether these matters might correctly
be designated as the actual dominating
influences in the days dealings.
Liquidation converged in great meas
ure upon such recently leading features
of the market as Southern Pacific. Read

Transactions in the Southern Pacif1c
stocks were in very great volume and to
some extent at least appeared to repre-
sent arbitratng operations made 1eaSloie
by the occasional variations III the quo
tations for the two issues.
The heavy selling of Reading was not
definitely accounted fer by actual de-
velopments relating to the property or
stock nor for that matter were there
any actual occurrences which could
be cited in connection with the Hqulda-
tion in the United States Steel shares.

Little Importance to Rumors.

Little Importance was attached to the
vague rumors which attained circulation
of hitch in the plan for the listing of
the securities upon the Paris bourse.
There We're some observers of market
conditions who expressed the opinion that
the weakness which prevailed during the
greater part of the business session was
not unconnected with the departure for
Europe today on vacation trip of
powerful and aggressive operator. who
has recently been exceedingly active on
the bull side of the speculative account,
and especially in the very stocks
which today reflected the greatest de-
gree of pressure.
American shares were weak also in the
London stock market, which was. how
ever. generally heavy. Foreign houses
were sellers in the local market upon
fairly liberal scale. The days actual situ-
alton comprised no new points of par

SIGNAL SYSTEM
WORRIES POLICE
Buzzing in Ears Is Very Pain
full, They Com=
plain.

Several members of the Harrison po-
lice force are complaining of a ringing
sound in their ears today, and, Incl.
dentally, Mayor Joseph P. Riordan and
Councilman M. OF. Dolphin are also
aware of a peculiar noise and soreness
in their auricular organs.
This condition of affairs has beer
brought about as a result of a test OF
h Harrison police signal system, made
last night by the Mayor and Council
a The latter is chairman of the
police committee, being recently ap-
pointed by the Mayor. After the Coun-
ell meeting last night the two of them
called upon Desk-Sergeant Foster at
the police station to see how the new
system worked.
AS each policeman on post sent in his
duty call from one of the various boxes
about town the Mayor and DIR. Dolphin
in turn took the place of the sergeant
and conversed with each officer for a
few minutes.
The system is automatic, with a tele-
phone attachment, and during the con
versations there would be slight inter
ruptions in the talk, due to some dis
arrangement of the wires. In such cases
and to call the officers there is an
emergency buzzer used by the sergeant.
This when used makes a loud noise in
the policenen's ear, and is very sudden
and painful.
