HEAVY PRESSURE
AGAINST STOCKS
Prices in Many Instances
Break Several Points.
Canadian Pacific Weak

New York, June 2.--Eeavy pressure was
directed against the stocks today and on
an immense volume of business prices in
many instances broke several points. Ca

feature, fell 13 points. loss within

and other standard issues to points.
Over 30 stocks, of which Atchison, Ca
madam Pacific, New York Central, North
ern Pacific, Pennsylvania and Union
Pacific are the most prominent, broke to
the lowest reached this year.
The average price of active stocks fell
to the lowest since 1909. The action of
the market was determined largely by
the attitude of foreign holders of Amer
lean securities.
The unpleasant impression made abroad,
particularly in France, by the st. Louis
and San Francisco shares led to a slump
in Americans in London during the holi-
day period here, in which Canadian Pa
cifc broke points.
When trading was resumed here Lon
don came into the market as a heavy
seller, not only of Canadian Pacific, but
Union Pacific, Steel. Amalgamated and
other stocks. Sales for London account
amounting to 10000 or more shares were
instrumental In forcing off prices sharply
at the outset.
The weakness was accentuated by bear
selling here and by insistent pressure

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, June 2.--(Special)-The gov
ernment condition report of 79.1 issued
today was a distinct surprise to the trade,
which had anticipated report OF about
SO. However. the initial advance there
were more offerings evident as the south
feels that the crop has improved ma
terially since May 25.
Europe was a buyer during the last
hour, and we believe that the spinning
trade Of the world will now be willing
to buy against their commitments of
goods for fall delivery. whenever those
who feel sure of large crop from June
prospects bring sufficient pressure TO
bear on this market. 1t Is, therefore, well
to bear In mind that contracts thus sold
will probably pass into the hands of the
trade and be withdrawn from the mar
ket.
Liverpool is due to come " point lower
on the near positions and " higher on
the distant months.

Wilson is the Boss

Prior to the Inauguration of Pres
ident Wilson, fears were expressed
in some quarters that if he put
William j. Bryan at the head of his
cabinet Mr. Bryan would dominate
the administration. Bryan was the
older and more experienced politi-
clan, and a man better known to the
masses of the people He was known
to be man fond of having his own
way, and rather inclined to be die
torial in shaping the policies of his
party.
The situation was somewhat SIM
liar to that which existed in 1861,
when William H. Seward was made
secretary of state by President Lin
coin Mr. Seward was better known
throughout the country than Mr.
Lincoln and had a higher reputa-
was a popular expectation that he
would be the leading spirit of the
new administration There can be
no doubt that Mr. Seward himself
shared this belief
The test came, when early in the
summer, Seward wrote out mem
orandum for the administration
guidance, in which he virtually pro-
posed to take the responsibility upon
his own shoulders. Mr.. Lincoln's re-
ply to this extraordinary paper was
kindly in tone, but so firm that Sc
ward Immediately abandoned any
idea he Nigh have possessed, that
Lincoln was weakling. He subse-
quently wrote to his wife: THE pres
ident is the best man of us all
There is no evidence that Mr.
Bryan ever evidenced the idea that
he could dominate the Wilson admin
istration. But if he did, he evidently
abandoned it very soon otter enter
ing the cabinet The political cor
respondents at Washington are unan-
imous in the agreement that the
secretary of state is quite content
to play second fiddle" to his chief.
There is evidence on every hand that
Mr.. Wilson intends to dominate his
own administration, and to shape its
