NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
News from Washington Causes Prices
to Sag Off.
CLOSE Is LOWEST POINT OF DAY
Action of western shippers, Looking
to Securing Lower Railroad
Rates, scares the Bulls
BIT.

NEW YORK, May 3i:-The volume Of
dealings in the stock market expanded
again today on descending range OF
values. The decline became precipitate
when it was announced that the Depart
ment of Justice was TO apply for an injunc-
ton to restrain tho proposed Increase in
freight rates by western railroads, which
was to go into effect tomorrow. Prices
had sagged from the outset, but on a much
less active market than after this news
was known. The topic was under consid
GRAFTON, however, by reason OF the request
made by western shippers in Washington
yesterday for this action by the govern
ment and through the resolution on the
subject introduced In the senate today.
Prices closed at about the lowest Of the
day.
A retrospect of the market for May
shows that the prospect of increased rates
by the railroads played an important part
In the comprehensive advance in prices of
stocks in the month. 1t was the week after
notices had been filed with the Interstate
commerce commission of the intention to
Increase western freight rates on June
that prices OF stocks started upwards from
the low levels of the year TO which they
had fallen at that time. 1t was at the
same time that the reports came into circu-
lation of the sale of American railroad
bonds I'm Paris to the extent, according to
the then prevailing rumors of $1OOOOO,OOO to
$3.50, 00o, 900.
The agitation against the proposed in
crease In freight rates has strengthened
the conviction that serious obstacles were
to be encountered in putting them into
effect.
The dependence of the railroads for in
creased freight charges to keep up
earnings las been much emphasized in
connection with the public agitation against
these increases and great stress has been
laid on the large increases in operating
costs in recent months on account of the
high costs of material and the compre-
hensive advances in wages which have
been granted. The intended Increase in
rates. at all events, was made the instru-
ment for lifting prices of stocks and the
occasion for an extensive speculation for
the rise. The resale of these accumula-
tons with the program endangered came
as natural consequence.
Bonds were easy. Total sales, par value,

CATTLE-There was a very fair run OF
cattle today, 162 cars being reported in.
Comparatively few good to choice finished
beeves were included among the offerings,
however, and large share of the sup
plies showed more or less grass. Condi-
tons were much the same as on yesterday
and there was no very great change in
prices one way or the other except that
the more desirable grades found more IA
vor with buyers and sold perhaps to a
little better advantage. The common, half
fat and grassy stuff was slow sale and In
some cases prices were little easier.

We're only about twenty-five or thirty
loads on sale and with the usual good de-
mand it did not take dealers long to clean
these up at the improved figures AS COM
pared with the close of last week values
are fully 10QI15c higher and the outlet is
broader than it has been for some time
past. Veal calves were slow to q shade
lower and the market for bulls, stays and
rough stock generally was pretty close to
25c lower than last week.
In stockers and feeders the volume Of
business continues very small. Fresh re-
ceipts were limited and there was no very
great amount Of activity to the demand
weight steers and hetfers were in fair re-
quest at firm figures, but the general run
of stockers and feeders did not sell any
better than they did toward the close Of
last week.

SHEEF--Nhore lambs were received this

handle and trade was at no time very
active. The best MeNiCans here brought

offerings showed declines relatively as

lamb receipts commanded figures about lbc
lower than yesterday, with light and handy
weights moving more freely than the
heavier grades. A string of very good
spring lambs sold at $500.
Despite the fact that total supply was
fully normal, sheep arrivals were scarce
