twenty-ninth Sultan since the con-
quest of Constantinople.

proved the decree of deposition, which
was read by the Sheik ul Islam, chief
of the Ulemas and supreme Judge on
ecclesiastical questions The docu-
ment recites that Abdul Hamid's acts
were contrary to the sacred law and
sets forth long list of crimes, the
whole making terrible. Indictment.
The Assembly chose Reschad as Sui
tan and appointed committees to no.

IRREGULAR TONE
In STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK. June IA hllip was
given to the speculation by the news of
the action being taken toward listing the.
United States Steel securities on the Paris
bourse. The formation Of a syndicate 10
introduce these securities in Paris indi-
Gates = more serious effort than any here
tofore made. TO overcome the many diff
culties and intricacies of the bourse regu-
lations and the French laws applying to
foreign securities in that market
One Of the striking passages in the in
terview of Z. H. Hartman before his sail
ing for Europe spoke in rather contemptu-
Gus terms of the supposition that his rail-
road companies needed to apply to foreign
markets to secure ready sale for their
securities, since he could sell $50, ooo, 600
Union Pacific bonds in New York in FIVE
minutes.
1t is still felt among bankers and fnan-
ciers. however, that the development of
this country is so far short of its ultimate
opportunity that resort to foreign supplies
Of capital is still profitable and TO an ez-
tent necessary.
The prospect of the United States Steel
being listed on the Paris bourse appealed
to the speculative imagination. The price
Of that stock rose to 65ss within short
time after trading began, compared with
previous record price of CAS-, at which it
left of on Friday, after three point rise
on that day. The price touched in London
earlier in the day represented New York
parity of about g. This rate Of advance
might be supposed to invite some effective
profit taking, however well justified by
new conditions. Profit taking sales were
in fact on heavy scale.
Union Pacific signalized the departure
, of the head Of that system for Europe by
rise Of q. points. The strength Of the
stock was not impaired BY the showing OF
decrease Of net earnings for April com
pared with last year, the growth in op-
Grating cost being exceeded by the increase
in gross earnings. There were other
marked advances in company with United
States Steel and Union Pacific, but the
upward movement did not become uniform
at any stage and suffered decided restraint
in the dullness of later trading.
TIE stress laid by Hartman on the crop
results to insure the expected degree Of
trade revival directed added attention to
the strength of the wheat market and
some further unfavorable crop news from
the southwest. A late recovery to the best
price in United States Steel left the gen
eral market irregular in tone. The June
payments made no impression upon the
