FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
SPECULATIVE HESITATION
Due to Views Over the Railroad Rate
Settlement.

New York. June S.-Some speculative
hesitation was reflected in the action
of today's stock market partly due to
the rapidity of the advance of the day
before and partly to the consensus of
opinion over the opinion created by
the railroad rate settlement. The con-
trary views expressed by railroad eX-
ecutives themselves We're responsible
for the opinion especially the an
nouncement by President Brown of the
New York Central that work calling
for 100000 expenditure and orders
for freight cars, which had been held
up as a result of the rate injunction,
would be resumed, in contrast with the
assertion of President Ripley of the
AtchisOn that his company would not
depart in any degree from the policy
of retrenchment decided upon after the
action of the government against the
rate advances. London Joined in
substantial way in the early selling
brought about by these conditions.
The heavy selling of St Paul and
the discouraged feeling expressed in
published interview with a capitalist
prominent in that party were corrob-
orative of the conviction that a diver
gence of opinion existed between prom
inent groups in the financial world.
Much attention was given to the
question of railroad earnings as they
would be affected by the postponement
OF rate advances That the advances
would ultimately become effective was
the assumption. Railroad earnings for

prehensive relations have been re-
ceived by the commerce commission

earnings in that month over March of

or 1874 per cent, and in net $S.000,000,
or lisp per cent.
The May statistics of the Copper
Producers association offered little
ground for encouragement, the months
production having been the largest,
with the exception of October of last
year, for any month since the assOcia-
ton was formed, deliveries meantime

IF among the $50 or 300 recruits
which the major league teams who go
south each spring for the tryout there
should prove to be just one Bill Lange,
all the money that it costs to try out
these young men would have ben wise

owner recently Lange has been miss
ing from the game for eleven years.
This is a long time as the years are
reckoned in baseball, but LANCE isn't
forgotten, nor will he ever be by those
fortunate enough to have seen him
play.
Today LANCE is only 3s-there are
players in the big leagues as old or
even older-but his glory belongs in
the archives of the past, and he seems,
TO the fan of the present epoch, as far
away as Kelly, Ewing and Pete Brown
ing. LANCE, unlike most baseball idols,
quit the diamond while still young
while he was still a big, burly boy.
LANCE had made some reputation on
the coast, and before he was quite 22
was called to join the old Chicagos.
He began the season Of 1898 with the
reputation of being a great batsman
and al BILE to play either back of the bat

of everyday utility man. Big Bill was
in the game every afternoon, but was
playing every old position. He worked
that first season on first, second, third,
short and the three field jobs, and was
put back of the plate in couple or
games. On his first afternoon behind
the bat it was fun TO see what hap
pened to the speedy runners. They fig
ured that LANCE was a cinch to steal
on. and when the ball whizzed down
q block ahead of them, they thought
1t was an accident until the big fellow
had nailed about four of them. Then
they ceased stealing and watched the
big boy work. Lange avas a success
as d catcher but as the team had Kit

his career remained there.
