Chicago. Sept s.-General DISPOSE
ton to await the government figures
on the new crop of wheat in the Unit
ed States caused dizziness in the wheat
pit all day. the report not being given
out until Is minutes prior to the close.
1t was expected that the report would
be extremely bullish on corn and
would show a slight deterioration in
the condition of spring wheat. This
tended to create some anxiety among
shorts. who covered moderately all
day. giving fair degree of strength
throughout the greater part of the
session. The report when made pub
lie confirmed the fears in regard tn
the corn crop. the loss i'm condition
being estimated at 90 points during
August. and showed a deterioration of
3 points in spring wheat. This caused
general demand in the final few min
utes of the session. with fair ad-
vances in all deliveries. The close
was strong at almost the top. Deem
Der ranged between g4A694kc and
95sc and closed at 95m95kc.
Trade in oats was exceedingly dun
all day. The market closed firm with
prices NC to &c higher. The feature
In provisions was a mild furry in Sep
TENDER pork due to covering by shorts.
Prices closed zoe lower to 15c higher.

MARKET MOVEMENTS
OF THE DAY

New York. Sept. S.-The specu alive
temper still showed itself highly SIN
sitive of the news from tn. bed of Z.
III. Hartman ami the vstious price
fluctuations during the day were
faithful reflections of til. advices
which filtered through from Arden.
The news was exceedingly raeager,
much of it dimly outlined and some
of it contradictory. The price move !
ment, therefore, was confused. The
limited volume of the transactions
suggested that large operators are
keeping out of the market until it
finds its level. That the condition of
the sick financier was regarded as
grave was obvious from the close at
tention paid to all news on the SUBJ
ject, and from the disposition among
financial associates to recognize thu
fact with more candor in speaking
for publication. The character of the
crop news for some time has paved
the way for the poor showing of the
government crop report today. The
fact that both corn and wheat adj
yanced after the publication of the
report was taken as evidence that the
previous rise in prices had not ade-
auately discounted the falling off in
the condition of corn and spring
wheat. The heavy deterioration in
corn during August serves to impair
the hopes of a bumper crop. and the
spring wheat condition at the harvest
give point to recent warnings from
James j. Hill against overestimating
that crop. The growing money re-
quirements of the interior are reflect
ed in demands on the New York banks
and the falling off in the offerings of
bank notes for current redemption.
The sub-treasury in New York is
again drawing large sums from the
banks. These factors may have in
fluenced the heavy undertone of
stocks. but did not prevent the early
advance when Mr.. Harriman's state
of health was reported improved or
when statement from his physician
was Forthcoming.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par
value. s2,267. 900.
United States bonds were I'M
changed.

RAILROAD STOCK ISSUES.
Discussion Of Federal Control at Com
missioners' Convention.

Washington. Nov. 19.-After re-electing
officers and adopting reports OF commit
tees. the National Association OF Railway
Commissioners adjourned to-day TO meet
next year in Washington.
One Of the important questions consid-
cred was a resolution regarding legislation
10 limit and control the issue Of stocks and
bonds OF railroads engaged in interstate
commerce. Spirited discussion was brought
about by Mr.. Prentis. Of Virginia. who de
sired to know whether state or federal con-
troll was contemplated. The resolution.
however, left II an open question.
Judge Clements. Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. made a strong plea for
government control He argued that some
states grant charters to railroads and allow
them to issue any amount OF securities.
and when II comes TO the valuation of the
railroads such roads insist that they must
pay dividends on watered stock.
The resolution was adopted. as was the
report OF the legislative committee.

LOOK INTO MERGER
UTCkERSHIM ACTS.
Investigating Legality of TeIe-
graph Combination.
lFrom The TrIbune Bureau 3

Washington. Nov. ls--A complete investi-
cation of the recent merger ~ the Western
Union Telegraph and the American rele-
graph and Telephone companies is being
conducted by the Department of Justice
A number Of agents Of that department are
at work with instructions to make immedi-
ate reports TO Attorney General Wicker
sham. So that ne may determine whether
or not The merger is a violation OF the
Sherman antitrust law.
Because Of The numerous complaints from
different sections of the country that the
telephone companies were violating the
sherman law by absorbing the smaller
companies and establishing mOnopolies. the
Senate a year ago instructed the Depart
Tnent OF Commerce and Labor TO make an
investigation into the conduct OF all tele-
phone and telegraph companies doing an
Interstate business The Bureau 81 Cor
porations undertook the work and has col
iected large number Of data, which VIII
be presented 10 congress IN a preliminary
report early IN the coming session.
II the Attorney General feels that pro-
ceediugs against the merged companies are
3us;ihed he will doubtless call on the Bu-
reau 81 Corporations for its data, so that a
great amount 81 labor on the part Of his
agents VIII he saved. At the Department
of Justice to-day a. was said that no prose
cution would be begun until the Attorney
General was satisfied that the antitrust
law had been violated. Il was pointed out
that the two companies employed the best
lawyers I'm the country and that these men
are fully coCnizant Of the provisions or the
sherman act and would not permit their
clients 10 run counter 20 the law, paruc-
ularly al a time when violations OF the
Sherman Law by gIest concerns are being
closely scrutnized 10y the Department OF
Justice
The belief was expressed al the depart
ment that the latest combination includes
not only the Western Union and the Ameri-
can Telegraph and Telephone companies,
bur the Postal company well.
