CHICAGOS MONEY MARKET.
Ne Considerable Improvement Locked
FER Before Fail.

CHICAGO, May Tho local money
market does not show any particular
change from the easy condition OF rates
The reports to the Comptroller under
date Of April 2s reveal the national banks
Of Chicago with an aggregate increase
on loans of slightly more than 81 200, 600
compared with the statements made in
February. while deposits exhibit loss
Of more than $l2 ,0OO. 600.
At the same time there is a loss OF ap-
proximately $12. 600, 900 in cash resources.
There are strong evidences Of the local
institutions having shifted their funds
to New York and other points instead
Of having loaned them to borrowers.
The first reports received from the State
banks forecast little change since last
winter. Rates generally are 81 to ~,
per cent. with fair average Of 4 per cent
FOR ordinary commercial paper and COL
lateral loans. Some hope among bankers
for a stronger market is pinned upon
railway financing promised in the near
future but few expected TO see improve
ment in manufacturing and other busi-
ness lines Of enough volume to increase
the use Of money until autumn, when
the crop situation begins to command
funds

SULLIVAN SUES PHELAN.
Sensation Produced by Allegation,
Against san Francisces Former Mayor.


SAN FRANCIsco May Attorney
Frank j. Sullivan created a sensation to-
day when he filed suit against tho Mutual
Savings Bank to recover 5000 for legal
services. Sullivan Is a brother-in- law
of former Mayor James d. Phelan. mill
ionaire and reformer.
Sullivan claims that he was discharged

WAsHINoroN May THAT the Boston
and Maine Railroad meant business
when 1t warned tho Southern lines when
they met the first out made by tho Boston
and Maine on import traffic west that the
New England lines would retaliate and
IL necessary would enter into . rate war
was evidenced to-day. whom the Boston
and Maine placed on file with the Inter-
state Commerce Commission freight tar
IFS showing further out. The Balt-
more and Ohio Railroad, In particular,
from time to time had made outs 10 meet
the New England lines, and when the
Boston and Maine Railroad made tho
original out bringing down rates from
Boston and other New England points to
Chicago and other Western points on
import traffic to exactly the same rates
as from Baltimore to the same points.
Notwithstanding the longer haul, Il was
met by seven trunk lines with terminals
at Baltimore. Philadelphia and New York.
On Wednesday last the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad made cut which reestab-
lished the dinerential from New York
to Chicago and other Western points.
This action has evidently aroused tho Ire
Of the Boston and Maine officials. and they
quickly formulated tariffs which reached
the commission to-day.
The Chamber Of Commerce of Boston
In February last issued q statement In
which the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
was charged with bad faith in connection
with import trafio rates. The charge
was made that 1t had attempted to nullKy
an agreement covering these rates Of many
years standing and TO which 1t was q
party.
Another significant movement. official
notice Of which reached the commission
to-day. may assist In ging further
hostile action among the carriers. All
the sea and rail lines. that is, lines which
carry by sea down the Atlantic coast and
by rail from the different ports,
gave notice Of q out. Upon examination
this cut was found to bring sea and rail
rates down to exactly the Same a. RAIL
and lake rates to the West. As hke
trafiic is now opening in earnest. unless
the rail and Lake carriers meet the out
they will lose . considerable amount Of
business. The tariffs fled to-day make
the reduced rates effective by way Of
Norfolk. Unless the cut Ia met by the
rail and lake carriers an immense amount
Of trafflo moving west from Boston. New
York. Philadelphia and other ports to
Lake Erie will now move south by stearn-
ship to Norfolk and move west By rs!!
from that city. - 1
The statement was made at the Inter
state Commerce Commission to-day that
during the last twenty years there has not
been such an unsettled condition Of rates
as prevails now. Unless the carriers
get together they stand TO lose con-
siderable amount-a loss, however. which
will be gain TO the shippers. 4

FOREST FIRE NOW
UNDER CONTROL
Does Not Reach Green Timber---
Three Camps Fighting Hard

The forest fres. which have been
raging near the Blackwell Lumber
company, In the vicinity OF camps
and Z, are a little subdued as we so
to press, and reports direct from the
scene OF the Ares give in detail
that the fires started in or near
camp and were beyond control for
some time, practically all of last
night and the greater part OF today.
1t did not reach the green timber, but
was kept in the old slashIng. About
sixty men in camps5 and s have
been kept busy protecting the skid
way and keeping the fires away from
camp s, which Is considered the
worst place, should II reach there.
In all, so far, little over twenty
acres have been destroyed, which Is
in three or four different places. The
fires threatened bad work last night
for several hours, but by hard efforts
on the part of every man in the
camps they were kept back,
The loss, up to the hour Of going
to press, cannot be estimated, but
there is but little damage aside from
the dry slashing that has been
burned, still this will reach heavily
on account OF the dry condition Of
the timber. There Is no truth in the
report that a man. Hartman by
name, had been badly injured, and nc
accidents have occurred. 1t is be.
lieved that the fires are well under
control and that they can be handles
now without difficulty. The meu
who fought the fires yesterday had Q
severe time on account Of the extreme
heat Of the day. 1t being the warmesi
day of the year. but today they were
not affected nearly as much.
The area of land where the firel
burned covered strip something
over two by Ave miles. but did no
take 1t clean, as It Jumped into thre,
different places. The damage TO thu
land drawing claims, which we're re
Gently secured through the registra
tion drawing. is considered quite OK
tensive and will reach many hun
dreds OF dollars. Should a high wins
come up tonight there is no tellini
what the end will be. but the logger
are lighting bravely and no furthe
trouble is expected.
