Emerging from Influence
OF Trust Decisions.
But Activity in Dealings Is Not
Very Pronounced.
The Panama Bond Sale Shows
Uncle Sans Credit TO Be Al.

New York, May 2S-The stock mar
ket turned its attention again last
week to routine problems. There was
a perceptible waning of influence of
the trust case decisions. which had
been of paramount effect on the mar
ket in the previous week. The check
to the advance which set ia with the
decline of that influence gave place TO
some reaction and to falling ell III
activity in the dealings in stocks. This
action of the market was reflection
of the belief that the Standard OH de-
eision had not cleared away all of the
uncertain factors in the situation.
Steel trade conditions We're brought
into first place again by the unsettling
of that market consequent on the re-
duction of prices by the Republic Iron
& steel Co. The marking down of the
price of steel bars gave rise to dlfter-
ences of opinion concerning the mo-
tives for the action and the conse-
quences to follow to trade at large. 1t
was argued that a demonstration OF
active competitive conditions in the
trade was calculated to influence the
tone of the congressional investigation
of the United states Steel Corporation.
The result of the governments offer
ing of $50000.0O0 of Panama canal
bonds is awaited with keen interest.
Sales in the curb market of the new
bonds when issued as high as 103 in
dicate the expectation Of the financial
community that the Offering will prove
success. A premium on these bonds,
the first To be sold without the cir
culation privilege since the enactment
of the national banking law, will carry
testimony to the high credit of the
United states government and will be
cited. also as evidence of the excel
lent demand in the New York money
market.
The Importance attached to the crop
outcome is not lessened by the con-
| tinued obscurity of the business out
! look ana weather news from day to
day has an appreciable influence on
stocks. Foreign as we'll as domestic
| CROP prospects enter into the calcula-
lions on account of the probable ex-
mort demand for the harvest yield.

Americans and EngIishmen
Meet on Long Island.
Preparations Near Completion
Al MeadowbrOOk Hunt Club.
Will Be Greatest Match World Has
Ever n--Comparison.

NeW York, May 2S.-With only two
days @ntervening before a quartet of
British cavalry officers will ride onto
the MeAdowbrook Hunt Clubs polo
grounds on Hampstead Plains. Long
Island, to meet the American holders
of the International polo trophy the
months of preparation for the greatest
polo match the world has ever seen
are practically complete. Notwith-
standing there has been some criticism
of the prodigal expenses to which the
American players have gone to provide
Thea cream of polo ponies from the
world over. even the English players
are backed by a popular subscription
fund of $4,000 in addition to what
heavy expense the individual players
assume in coming here to try to take
away the cup.
From all reports, interest in the
match extends to four continents-to
England and all her colonies in every
part of the world, but especially to
India, where most of the challenging
players have been famous in inter
|regimental games, and to the Western
states of our own country and even
South America. if for no other reason
than the ponies have been brought
from those sections. And the players
admit that the ponies play more than
half the game.
In two months practice, in New
Jersey and Long Island, the visiting
PLAYERS have become we'll known, and
among country club members from
BroOkline, Mass, or the north to the
| CLcvey Chase, near Washington on
| the South, and from the Hampstead
| Plains on Long Island to Bryn Nav

fcrm has been keenly followed N the

Juarez, Mexico, May 2S.-The chief
task confronting Francisco l. Madero
was outlined in a statement today as
the principal object of his future con
sultation with Senior De La Barra;
namely, the selection of the provisional
governors of II states. as agreed on in
the preliminary peace negotiations.
A stumbling block appeared today
when i. was reported that the Iegis-
lature of Sonora favers Avelino Espir-
roso for governor. whereas Senior Ma
aero's choice is Jose NJ Naytorena for
governor. Steps similar To those taken
when the Coahuila Legislature recent
" baked at accepting Senior Cafranza
will be adopted. Influence again will
be brought to bear on the state Iegis-
sature through President De La Barra
and Insurrecto troops around Her
mosilo, capital of Sonora, will receive
orders to be in readiness to march on
the town should the Legislature refuse
to accede to Madero's wishes
Senior Madero's statement outlining
his proposed activity III behalf of the
new governors. defines his exact rela
ton to President De La Barra, which
lie believes has not been correctly in
terpreted.
'1t is true" said Senior Madero's state
ment, that. as a private citizen and IS
chief of the political party emanating
from the revolution l am going to play
an important role in the pacfieation of
the country, but my part will be reduced
merely to indicating in eonsonanee with
public opinion the governors of the states
as was agreed in the preliminary negotia-
tons Even in this same case 1 am go
ing to collaborate with Senior De La Bar
ra. but in no way shall 1 impose my
wishes.
Respecting the important business OF
administration, it will be he whose reso-
lutions will be final, because he has been
designated President of the republic by
the two parties. for the reason that we
have fun confidence in his tact, his hon
or and in the correctness of his views.
I wish to state for all that as represent
alive of the nation l always shall treat
Senior De La Barra with the respect and
attention which he deserves and private
" with the affection and sympathy OF
which he has made himself a creditor.
