TOBACCO TRUST
MAY SAVE STATE
Subscribcs for 100000 of
North Carolina Bonds Releiv-
ing Great Embarrassment.

RALEIGH. N. c.. June Sit Is
probable that the special session of
the Legislature called by Governor
Kitchen to meet June IA may not
be necessary by virtue of the suhscrip-
ton by the American Tobacco Com
pany for $1.o00.000 of North Caro-
lima per cent refunding bonds.
An issue of $3.600.000 was author
lied by the last Legislature to meet
State obligations maturing July 1. Two
advertisements for bids have hereto
fore been made, but owing to the poor
condition of the bond market the Is
sue has not been subscribed for. The
call for the Legislature is to meet
the situation by issuing 5 per cent.
bonds II necessary, and IL contingent
upon a final failure to procure CUB
scriptions to the per cent. issue
1t Ii of peculiar interest that in this
dilemma II appears that the State
may be saved embarrassment by the
tobacco trust, which for several years
has been the object of sharp attack
by very strong element in the State.

NEW YORK. June s.-Wall street
had q real headache to-day. Also,
II was ashamed to be seen in public.
The smart financiers. the men who
in the past have SO merrily "heeced
the lamb" are sore, and they snarl
when spoken to. They had been
"whipsawed" and the Job was pulled
off by the very element that in the
past has been considered fair meat
by the bulls and bears.
A week ago yesterday the market
was quiet. Whatever speculation
there was, was confined to the pro-
fessional element. Prices were at a
good leYel and brokers were prepar-
ing to take a lengthy summer vaca-
ton. Then came flood of seHlng
orders seemingly out of the clear
sky. Before the brokers could inter-
fcre values. especially of the so-calieo
standard railroad shares, had been
driven down Panicky conditions pre-
vailed before 1t was learned that the
selling orders originated in wash
ington and Immediately following the
location Of their source came tn
announcement that the attorney-gen-
eral had decided to institute an in
junction suit against the railroads
which would result in the dissolution
Of the pool agreement and keep rates
from advancing.
Milk SKINNED.
But before this news was thorough
Iy dfgested. the insiders" had skim
med the milk and taken away the
cream. All of the money made came
from the speculative element In the
street, as IL was the stocks II was
holding to unload on the lambs that
were depressed in value The pa
per loss for the day was enormous,
