WHEAT CENTER Of
MARKET INTEREST
Few Transactions Are Made on
the New York Stock
Exchange

Railways Expected to Make An
other Attempt to Increase
Freight Rates
TRADERS FEAR PANIC TACTICS
fAssoclated Pressl

NEW YORK, June 20.-The opera
tors in stocks chose for the central
subject of consideration today the
signing by President Taft of the rail-
road bill and the consequent compile
tion of contemplated legislation on that
subject for the present.
The action of the wheat market
brought the crop prospect into view as
a contending factor and interrupted
the influence of the railroad bill. There
was slight increase of animation IN
the speculations as is evidenced by tne
meagre aggregate of the days trans
actions, but the last prices or the DAY
were generally the best.
The favorable effect on the tone or
the market of the disposition of the
railroad lgislation may be due simply
to a feeling of relief that 1t is out or
the way Some of its clauses are
aVoWedly distasteful to the railroads as
we'll as shippers. The more Immediate
influence of the bill In the stock mar
ket comes from the fact that its passage
will be made the signal for renewed no
tices of the intended increase in freight
rates. In the financial district the con-
viction underlies the apprehension that
tactics of professed discomfort ana
alarm will be used by the railroads in
the conduct of their campaign for the
increase-tactics which may operate TO
the discredit of railroad securities.
The active efforts of banking rep
resentatiVes towards reconciling great
shippers to the desired rate increases
and the necessary consultation with the
government authorities enjoined by the
new railroad law carry broad sug-
gestion that future railroad rates are
likely to be the subject of agreement
which the antitrust law will hardly
be invoked to prevent.
The jump in wheat checked the slow
ly rising tendency of prices of stocks,
but without providing a stronger in
fluence on the granger stocks than on
the general list. Iron producers seem
to be making concessions still to Sc
cure the larger volume of orders.
Copper also showed another decline
in price in London today. The offering
for public subscription of the Southern
Pacific terminal mortgage bonds up
set a supposition that these bonds had
been disposed of to German and Swiss
bankers at absolute sale. The London
market remains quiet. in spite of the
conviction of a coming period of easy
money.
Bonds were firmer; total sales, par
value. $1,4S5,000
United states as declined IA per
cent in the bid price on call.
