COMMERCIAL CALL
TRADERS AWAIT
DEVELOPMENTS

NEW YORK. June 2.-The specu-
lation in securities today showed
a disposition TO pause and take
stock OF the situation created by
the injunction against raising
western trunk line freight rates.
The new measure inaugurated by
the department of justice re-
mained the central topic of dis
cussion, but that discussion showed
lack of clear conception of the
proper significance to attach TO
the matter.
On the part of the stock market
operators, and TO some extent of
railroad officials, there is heard
some criticism of the western
trunk line committee for the
methods they pursued in seeking
the rate advances which have
been enjoined. The fact that one
agent was used by all the rail-
roads in fling notices of the ad-
vance is cited as almost a chal-
lenge to the government authori
ties to test the prohibition of rate
agreements in the antitrust law.
It is supposed that the advocacy
of an amendment to authorize
agreements by the administration
emboldened the railroads to at
tempt this test of the question.
Meantime the rejection in con-
gress of the proposed authorize
tion of railroad agreements on
rates left it practically manda-
tory on the law officers to take up
the challenge
There is conviction among
railroadmen that the law requir-
ing the filing of rates. which, it
is held, must be uniform, in the
nature of the case, and the law
against agreement on rates are
conflicting and irreconcilable. If
the present action shall result in
resolving the anomaly if will be
welcomed by the railroads.
A report was in circulation that
the New York Central had asked
for the cancellation of an order for
new freight cars said to amount
TO between $5.00O,000 and $4,000
000. There were rumors also of
a proposed heavy reduction of
working forces by the railroads.
The acute weakness of St. Paul
was attributed to fears for the
integrity of the dividend without
higher charges for transportation.
The effect of reduced net earn
ings of railroads on the placing
of railroad bonds abroad is an
other phase of the problem given
much attention.
The tone of the money market
was distinctly easier, the liquida-
tion in the stock market and the
reduction in the official discount
rate of the Bank of England both
conducting to that result
The market closed but little
changed from yesterdays closing
prices, the early losses having
been practically made up.
Bonds were irregular. Total
sales (par value). $3.50. .000
United States bonds were un-
changed on call.
