Make Woeful Predictions.

In very important industrial and bank
ing circles it is stoutly maintained that a
Supreme Court decision adverse to the
trusts in the pending big cases have not
been discounted. and that when they are
handed down the market will surely go
to pieces. They are fortified In this be-
lief by Washington information that the
Department of Justice has made prepara-
tons at once to begin proceedings
against at least a half dozen big indus
trial combinations should the Standard
Oil and Tobacco trusts be declared un-
lawful combinations.
1t is stated on what seems to be very
reliable authority that Attorney General
against the L. s. Steel Corporation,
Amal<amated Copper. International Har-
vester Smelters and the American Wool
en- Company. Opinion is very strongly
held by the best Informed lawyers and
their banking and corporation clients.
that the Supreme Court will find against
the trusts. This theory is based largely
on q careful study and analysis Of the
utteranes of thee jurists who compose
the Supreme bench
judges have been carefully gone into and
the result leaves little doubt in the mind
as to what the pending decisions will be.
The hope is entertained. however that
the court will find way out Of the diff
Guilty as was done in the case Of the
Northern Securities Company-in other
words, that the court will write some
helpful and guiding legislation into its
decisions-legislation which would avert
further hostile action by the Department
of Justice and point a way by which
other trusts can reconstruct themselves
without disturbance. The uncertainty of
the situation is such, however, that big
people positively will not do anything in
the way of new enterprise or new depar-
ture until they know exactly where they
stand. In this respect the situation has
not changed one iota from what 1t was
sixty or ninety days ago.
Amuses Wall Street.
The latest sensation sprung In Mis-
souri, Pacific has caused infinite amuse-
ment in Wall street. The summary man.
ner in which the great banking house of
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. was thrown out of its
assumed control Of the Missouri Pacific
system was q spectacular incident. 1t
was also humiliating in the extreme to
the ambitious banking house and filled
some Of its rivals with unholy Joy. Kuhn.
Loeb & Co. are not popular in the finan-
cial district and anything which happens
to take them down a peg Is looked
upon as a good joke and as an excuse foi
hilarity.
1t was reported at first that Morgan &
Co. and the City National Bank had as
sumed the job Of fiscal agents for the
Missouri Pacific, but this turned out to
be a mistake. The Speyers and the
Deutsche Bank have assumed that re-

wheels OF a freight train near Benning
several days ago and lost a foot.
Probation Officer Dillon was instructed
by the court to place young Henson on

OYSTER SUPPLY LIGHT.
Potomac River Bivalves Bring Good
Prices at the Wharf.

The supply of oysters aboard vessels
at the 18th street wharf Isl not at all
heavy, while the demand was quite brisk
both yesterday and this morning. AS
consequence prices have advanced and to-
day good bivalves from the Potomac
beds sold at from 80 to 90 cents per
bushel while selected stock brought as
high AS 20 and ~ cents per bushei. A
half dozen vessels arc at the wharf this
morning and 1t was estimated that they
had aboard about a thousand bushels.
This supply will be augmented this after
noon or tonight, as there Is a large fleet
of oyster boats down river and a number
Of them are expected in pert at any
time. The Potomac oysters this season
have been in larger quantity and of SUI
perior flavor and as consequence there
has been but light demand for Chesa-
peake bay bed stock.
The supply of fresh fish continues
light. owing to the gales on the coast
having prevented the working of the
pets with any regularity. AS a result
of the light supply and the good demand
prices have advanced sharply over those
of the early part of last week.
