MARKET Session
Shows DULLNESS
Little Interest Displayed in
Trading and Prices Are
Reactionary.

q New York. May 27.-Pre-holidsy in
huences were evident In the stock market
today and the general movements there
fore were for the major part dull ana
uninteresting Attendance on the floor
OF the exchange and in commission
houses was light Speculative activity
was extremely limited and the greater
part Of the two hours Of trading repre-
sented an evening up OF customers and
brokers accounts over the week ana
over the coming holiday. The general
trend of prices was reactionary, both
in the Industrial and in the railroad list.
Prices at the opening were somewhat
mixed, but before long an easier tone
became evident and continued until Just
before the close. when there was slight
upturn, which. however. did not suffice
TO retrieve the losses sustained carrier
In the session. Recessions were general
although not extensive, in the so-called
war order stocks, Cruciole, Baldwin
Locomotive and American locomotive
being among the heaviest sufferers the
motor stocks were generally lower

Reading Weak Feature.

In the railroad group Reading was a
particularly weak feature, the stock de-
clining 21-2 points below the previous
closing price and ending the week at
figure 10 3-s points below the high OF last
Tuesday Lehigh Valley was an out
standing feature Of strength among the
rails and closed with an advance OF Is
points over Fridays final prices
There was but little in the news or
the day which might be construed as
having any great effect on prices.
About the only feature Of the foreign
exchange market was the strength Of
sterling exchange and the easing Of
Scandinavian rates. Demand sterling
advanced from 475 3-4 to +76 7-16- The
reason for the drop was the reports from
Stockholm that there had been a sharp
rise in the dollar rate in that city Marks
and lire were fractionally higher.
The weekly bank statement continued
to show a falling OF in the cash hold
ings and the surplus reserves Of the
clearing house banks.

ltect the armory of the national guard

command here, was warned by an
unknown person that a raid on the
armory was being planned and guards
imme diately were thrown about the
building.
Following the arrest of three of the
men, sixty of their companions march
ed to the city hall and demanded the
release of the prisoners. Previous to
their arrival, at the mayors office,
telegram was sent to Chicago asking
1000 men to be sent in case of trouble
with the police here. The men were
released and cancelled the message

the fight of the I. W. W. this year to
control harvest labor was declared by

harvesting too costly a procedure for
profit if their demands were not com
piled with. Ten thousand men are de-
clared to have been ordered to Kansas

Many BetterHnents at Pratt Plant in
Spite of Money Shortage.
Pratt, Kan, June 19.-Many inn
provements have been made at the
state fish hatchery in the past year,
even with the force reduced more than
half by lack of funds, and the plant
is highly modern and efficient.
The grounds have been beautified.
Roads have been repaired and river
channels widened and changed. A
new dam 502 feet long has been con-
structed at a cost of $4,000 and an in
take and outlet of 21-inch pipe line
built and 800 feet of concrete placed

WHAT'LL RUMANIA DO?
Bukowina Province Offered as Prize
to Join Allies.

Paris, June 19.-"What will Ru-
mania do?" is the keynote and the
headline on all comment in the morn
ing newspapers on the capture of
Czernowitz by the Russians All the
newspapers say the diplomatic result
of the fall of Czernowitz far exceeds
itse strategical value. They point out
that the city is the capital of Buko-
wilma, the province which was prom.
ised to Rumania in the event of her
Joining the allies.
Bukowina has twice formed a part
of Rumania and the possibility of it's
return to the kingdom for a third
time has been eagerly seized upon by
the leaders of the pro-ally party in
Eumania. The intervcntionists have
lost no time and dispatches from
Bucharest say that they opened a, Wig
crous campaign yesterday and are
confident they will be able to bring
Premier BEATING over to their side.
