PRICES OF STOCKS
ARE AT LOW POINT
Government Injunction Upsets
Trading Decisively
RAILROADS CALL A HALT
All of the Various Factors Affecting
Stocks Tend to a Decline as Rail-
roads Are Adversely Affected
BY the Court Decisions

New York June 5.-The obtaining by
the attorney general of an injunction
against the proposed increase in western
trunk line freight rates last week had the
effect of throwing the stock market into
CONSERVATION. No other one subject
could be selected which could affect spec
ulation in so many directions as the
question of rate increases.
The complaints of high cost of living
from all quarters have been so clamorous
from the railroads as from any other
source, and the recent advances In wages
have been used as a text ON which to
base claims for increased compensation.
The speculation lin stocks has been based
on the expected benefits of the rate adj
vance ever since notice of the intended
increases were filed with the interstate
commerce commission April /. 1t is
claimed also that the sales of railroad
bonds abroad were due to the prospect of
these higher freight charges and that
other sales still in the stage of negotia-
ton will be prevented.
Rumors of cancellation of orders for
railroad equipment and of laying off Of
railroad employees show the direction in
which other disadvantages are expected.
The sensation caused by the rate injunc-
ton proceedings obscured for time the
supreme court decisions in the Missouri
river and Denver rate cases, but railroad
men hold that the power thus affirmed
for the interstate commerce commission
to fix rates threatens revolution in pres
ent methods of apportioning charges that
will prove far reaching In consequences to
the whole earning power of railroads.
The actual effect caused by the rate in
junction was due partly to the fact that
1t was the eliminating factor of reac-
ton which has been gathering force. The
halt in trade activity on account of the
uncertain period for the crops was at
hand and the downward course of iron
prices had not been checked in spite OF
the heavy curtailment of output.
The approach of the harvest time CEN
tered attention on the money situation
and pointed to the necessity of credit con-
traction to prepare for the coming de-
mands to move the crops.
The liquidation not only in stocks, but
In grain and cotton, was prompted by
these prospective requirements as much
as by apprehension of a fall in intrinsic
values.
The liquidation in commodities found an
incentive as we'll in the improving prom
Use of the crops. The backwardness of
spring wheat and corn has not impaired
confidence in the ultimate abundant
yield.
The basic Importance of the good crop
prospects helped to give the stock mar
ket some resisting power at the lower
stages of the price movement.
The abrupt Decline however, carried
prices headlong to the lowest level of the
year for the leading railroad stocks. The
effect of the liquidation was shown as
well in the easier market for money to
which also the reduction In the Bank of
England discount rate contributed its in
duence.

THIEVES HAVE BEEN

washington, June 5.-(Special. THAT
trieves have been at work In the
United States capitol is the startling
discovery made today, according to a
hurry-up call sent to the sergeant-at

An attempt to keep the matter secret
was made, but enough was learned to

Three massive silver flower vases, 26
inches high. are missing. They were
presented to Senator Penrose on his

years ago. and have been kept filed
with choice flowers.
The Penrose rooms are on the ground

BETTER OUTLOOK
IN IRON MARKET

New York, June 5-Blast furnace inter-
from consumers of foundry iron to take
up their capacity for the next six months
or more If they are willing to make COM
mitments at the lower prices now current,
and there was enough competition among
producers to result in orders for about
$1,000 tons of foundry grades last week in
the eastern territory alone.
Boiler manufacturers, pipe works, ma
chine foundries. electrical and valve
northern and southern iron for various
shipments extending over the rest of the
year.
About $4,000 tons of Virginia basic has
been sold to eastern consumers on the
basis of $3.50 at the furnaces, delivered
prices range from 1855 to ss165O per ton.
and the principal feature has been the re-
cession of about 80 cents per ton in the
price Of foundry iron in the Lehigh and
Schuylkill valleys to meet competition
of western producers.
In the central west interest has been
more in basic and malleable iron, con-
tracts being placed for about 10000 tons,
and several additional contracts are pend
ing. In all sections new contracts have
been placed, aggregating about 81, 40 tons.
Early last week railroads released or
ders for bridg US to the extent OF $1,000
tons, but are now out of the market Con-
tracts were also placed for about 10000
tons of rails, principally for the Seaboard
Air Line. Export rail inquiries call for
about 10000 tons.

vided contracts for 5000 cars among three

A DARING WOMAN.
RemarkabIe Eeats Of HorsemanshIE

Remarkable Feats of Horsemanship.
To have been born in Kentucky is
something, but to have been reared
among the finest thoroughbred horses
in thesworld as well is more.
From the time she was old enough
to sit. up alone Miss Nola Satterfeld
has been among horses, peting, riding
and growing up with them and each
year adding TO her knowledge of horse
manship until today she is the premier
horsewoman of the world, queen OF
the arena performing many dangerous
and marvellous feats on her Kentucky
thoroughbreds.
Miss Nola Satterfeld receives the
highest salary ever paid to a lady
eQuestrienne and has been especially
engaged as feature for the great
Dode Fisk shows, which will exhibit
lat Bryan, Saturday, November 26.
Miss Satterfeld's great triumph of
horsemanship is the mastering of a
five-horse liberty act which is the most
beautiful as well as the most sensa-
tional and dangerous ever attempted.
Nothing like ii was ever witnessed be-
fore by pleasure loving public since
the days of the old Roman emperors
when such perilous feats OF the arena
we're the sole sport and amusement of
kings.

GIN BURNED AT sENcHLEY.

There was disastrous fire at
Benchley, eight miles north Of Bryan
on the Houston & Texas Central rail-
way, at 3 O'Clock TUESDAY afternoon,
in which the plant of the Benchley
Gin Company was entirely destroyed.
The fire originated in the gin stands,
presumably by some hard substance
coming in contact with the gin saws,
and spread so quickly and rapidly that
ii was impossible to check the flames.
The plant was valued at about $4,000
and was partially covered by insur-
ance.
Messrs. G. B. Franklin and A. T.
Tower were the owners of the prop
erty.
