New YORK Stock Market.

Wall St, New York, April 29.-STOCKS
Anxiety to cover shorts on the part of
the bears caused an upward rush of prices
in the opening dealings in stocks today.

The rise carried several more of the
representative stocks up a point or more
before the. heavy realizing began to I'M
dermine the market. Union Pacific,

when the latter two had been driven back
to point below yesterdays closing the

The rise in cotton was taken to indicate
that no embarra sSmentS were threatened

to cover. Prices in the second hour were

Washington, April 29-Results already

tice against the bucket shop business.
In addition to the offices affected by the
indictments, against number of prin-

are expected to follow. The government
is putting forth every effort to bring
to Washington for trial the persons

the cases we'll in hand in time for the
fall term of the district courts.
Henry S. Robbins, of Chicago, who
has been appointed by Attorney General
