WALL STREET
Cut in Steel Bars Ceases to Be a Factor Due to
Optimistic Reports of Crops.

nounoement Of the cut in the price of
steel bars made by the Republic Iron
and Steel Company, yet the most impor-
tant development Of the week was in
the fact of the manifestations Of moro
optimistic sentiment in so many different
lines Of business. --- ...
There was no brisk or lively picking up
in any direction, but evidences were
plenty that business men were beginning
to make preparations for more active
trade. A distinctly firmer undertone Is
visible in the leather and shoe manu-
featuring lines: even the wooden and
cotton trades, which have been. so long
notably depressed, are showing signs of
renewed life, and the canning, beet su-
gar, and electrical manufacturing indus
tries are all extraordinarily active.
Finally, not the least among the note
worthy occurrences of the week were
the almost uniformly favorable state
ment Of railway earnings received. These
statements showed decreases in gross
revenue, but they also showed that the
railway companies had so managed to
get the upper land of their operating
expenses as to compress net decreases
within small limits. 1t will be very in
teresting to notice II q little later on
actual increases in net earnings begin to
be recorded

Three new entries were made on the
board Of the Washington Stock Exchange
yesterday. The bonds of the Riggs Real
ty Company. 100000 5s; the $4,000 new
capital stock of the Commercial Ma
tional Bank, and the capital stock of
the Chapin-Sacks Manufacturing Com
pany were listed by direction Of the
governing committee.
All Good Securities.
All the newcomers are considered high
grade securities. The Riggs bonds have
sold in private transactions as high as
1o4: Chapin-Sacks stock is worth be-
tween 1S5 and 100 a share, and the Com
mercial National shares are worth 5000
Local Securities Quiet.
Utilities bore the brunt of the largest
part Of the trading, but the session was
quiet throughout. Gas was easier, and
dropped back a good y and y OF a point.
Capital Traction was steady around 12S
and Observation-Disclosures common made
a new high mark Of 80 on one trade. Elec-
trio Is were steady and meeting good
demand at s41k. and Lanston attracted
some attention, selling 80 shares at 95ss.

New York, May N.-Quiet as stock ex-
change business was to-day. the reslli-
ency Of the stock market shown yester-
day was continued, and perhaps IN an
even more decided way, considering the
comparative smallness Of the volume OF
transactions.
The gains made were not large. but
they We're general. There was an entire
lack Of nervous or excited trading, ana
it was obvious that the news Of the cur
rent disturbances or what was thought
to be a disturbance in the iron and steel
trade considerably lost force as a market
factor
Again to-day. too. notable strength was
shown by certain especial stocks. promi-
nent among these being the Westing-
house and American Beet Sugar shares,
and improving business conditions were
at the bottom of the rise in each in
stance.
Pittsburg Coal made a sharp advance
and there is some reason for the belief
that a large interest in Pittsburg Coal.
\ il not actual control Of the company. has
been acquired by an important industrial
concern.
The testimony taken at the first meet
ing of the committee of the House OF
Representatives at Washington, that Is
investigating the affairs of the United
States Steel Corporation, was reassur-
ing in its stock market bearing, mas
much as nothing was brought out that
was in any way damaging to the United
States Steel Corporation or that has not
long been an old story in Wall street,
and it is considered practically certain
that the davis results in this regard may
be held to be fairly typical Of the char
actes Of the Investigations as whole.
Rain fell last night over parts OF the
Southwest where more moisture has been
needed, and the wheat market in conse-
quence declined.
Three important statements of rail-
way earnings were submitted-that OF the
Rock Island lines, with a showing OF an
actual increase in gross earnings OF s20,ooo
and a decrease Of $33S, 900 in operating ex-
penses, making a net increase of 35S,oOO;
that of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford, with a gross increase of $4,000
and a net increase of s5S,o00, and the Bal
timore and Ohio stocks exhibiting a gross
decrease of s453,0 ,00O changed into a net in
crease Of S2S1, 900.
The bank statement exhibited unim-
portant changes in the principal items.
1t is interesting to note. however, that
the withdrawal of gold for shipment to
Canada toward the close OF the week
was reflected in a 81, So, 900 cash loss In the
actual figures, as compared with small
increase in cash in the average state
ment The loan item in the former COM
pilation reported an increase for the first
time in several weeks.
While the event that engrossed more
attention in Wall street than anything
else last week was, of course, the an

II might also be OF interest TO
state that this company uses what

Of the new process commands a bet

way.
Altogether, this is a big thing for
the town. Hickman needs an oil mill
and the compress will come into good
play. The syndicate is backed by
almost unlimited capital, and will
have a tendency TO boost the cotton
industry. They say they will be rea-
dy for business before another cot
ton picking season rolls around,
which means that they must get
busy within the next few weeks.
