Stocks and Bonds.
New York June 1. During" the cessa-
tion of trading on the stock exchange yes-
terday London took hold of American
railway stocks and brought up the price
of all those which are internationally
sted to a point materially above New
lorks close on Saturday. Promptly
upon the opening of the market here to-
day orders to buy for London account
were executed to cover sales made in
London at the advance. The conse-
quence was a jump at the opening to the
London parity for nearly nil the interna-
tionals. St. Taul was the favorite in
these arbitrage openings but there were
purchases of all the internationals. Lon-
don reports indicated that the traders
there laid much stress upon the speech
pf Secretary of the Treasury Gage and
his optimistic opinions of the business
outlook. Some reaction followed upon
this early jump in prices the depression
spreading sympathetically from one or
two centres. The Cleveland Cincinnati
Chicago and St. Louis shares con-
tinned to sag without any good buying
orders to sustain them. Admissions
that the earnings have been insullicicnt
to cover the dividend on the preferred
stock helped the supposition that the
dividend rate would be reduced. Tlie
additional fall in the common stock of
3 1-2 points was a drag upon the mnr-
Ket tnougn a later recovery left tue net
loss only 1-2 per cent. This was supple-
mented by some heaviness in the gran
ger group caused by reports of crop dam-
age by frosts. Burlington's net earn
ings of over HOO.OOO were compared in
the minds of dealers with the creator in
crease exceeding $300000 shown last
month and caused a reaction in the
stock. The bears also fell back upon
their old resource of attacking New Jer-
sey Central and the Gould shares and
tuns woruou a reaction m the general
list to below the opening prices. The mar-
ket fell into dullness nt the decline. Sugar
showing a loss on Washington reports of
danger to the sugar schedule of the
tan It bill. Realizing sales m Chicago
(!as helped the reaction to some extent.
These elements failed to hold the mnrket
from a rising tendency and closing
prices were as a rule at the beBt of
the day. The buying by the commis
sion houses was also on quite a large
scale but outside interest in the market
was more in evidence than for many
months past. The dealings were re-
markably well distributed and the specu
lative low-priced stocks especially those
of the reorganized companies were in
special demand Union Pacific leading in
the class with sales of over 11.000 shares.
The demand from -London for this line
of stocks was particularly marked. The
number of shares for London account
were estimated to exceed 20000. The
net increase in the earnings for April
helped to strengthen the market. The
total sales of stocks annroximated 250.-
uuu snares some stocks escaped en
tirely the early reactionary tendency of
the market and in others it did not ex-
ceed fractional limits but extended to
1 1-4 per cent in Sugar with only a par-
tial recovery a point in Burlington and
1 1-4 in Omaha which also closed 1-4
below Saturday's close. Net gains were
the rule throughout the list losses beine
confined to n few cases. Stocks show
ing a net gain of a point or over were:
Burlington. Chicago Gas. Northwest.
St. Paul. Rock Island. Lake Shore. 2
points; .Mi n nen pons and St. Mollis com
mon and pretened Heading nrst pre-
ferred and Rubber preferred. New Jer
sey was selected for an attack after an
initinl riso mill wna fnrpoil down
points but only lost a fraction on the day
-Manhattan and Western Lnion were
forced down at one time 1-8 and 1 per
cent respectively but a subsequent rally
reduced the net change to a fractional
loss for Manhattan and a gain for West-
ern Union. The closing was strong and
animated nt the ton prices generally.
The bond market displayed considerable
strength and animation. The gains
were very pronounced in some interna-
tional shares which were helped by for
eign support sales $1U73UUU.
(iovernment bonds tended upward
witn tne new 4s rising 1-z per cent.

New York June 1. The Evening Tost's
Loudon financial cablegram:
Business on the Stock Exchange was
very slack today. Disappointment is ex-
pressed at the absence of a . response
from Wall street to the higher prices
quoted here yesterday for Americans.
The Paris bourse opened dull . but
closed comparatively firm while the Ber-
lin market was steady throughout.GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago.
Chicago June 1. Speculative markets
did not all go one way today. While
wheat and provisions were weak corn
and oats were strong weak cables and a
total lack of cash demand causing a de-
cline in wheat of 1 l-4c per bushel. Corn
on the other hand advanced 5-8c frost
damage fears driving shorts to cover.
Oats advanced l-4r73-8c for a similar
reason. Provisions closed at a decline of
about 5c nil around.
Wheat was weak at the opening in con-
sequence of the piling up of the receipts
since Saturday morning and the weak-
ness of the Liverpool market. This was
the potent opening factor and although
dry weather and sharp frosts have been
the characteristics of the climate condi-
tions since Saturday morning they had
but little effect in staying the hand af
short sellers. July wheat which closed
Saturday at 68 3-8c opened today at
67 5-8vri67 3-4c and after a temporary re-
covery to 68 1-Sfrj58 l-4c it started on a
decline and carried ihe price to 66 l-4c.
The spurt following the opening decline
was all the effects of the reports of frost
having done damage it being considered
that little or no damage would result
therefrom. Liverpool was 1 l-2c lower
at the opening than it closed Saturday.
Foreigners were said to have been sellers
of Decnibcr wheat in New York. Wheat
on passage decreased 1440000 bushels.
European stocks according to Beerbohm
decreased 1568000 bushels last week.
The English visible increased 893000
bushels. The world's shipment for the
weeek" were 5705000 bushels. The do-
mestic visible showed a decrease of 1-
399000 bushels against .958000 bushels
decrease the corresponding week of the
year before. Chicago received twenty-
four cars of wheat and 1017(10 bushels
were inspected out of store. Minneapolis
and Dnluth reported 1097 cars received
since Saturday against 1453 for the
similar days of the week before and 1486
cars the like days of last year.
The poor cash demand resulted In n
total loss of premiums here June selling
at July prices. This was a factor in the
liquidation which was general nnd steady
all the morning. During the last hour
shorts covered to a certain extent their
efforts causing a reaction to 67 l-4c. The
latest trading was nt 67C(67 l-8c.
Corn was steady and active compnred
with the usual dullness of the market.
The report of extensive damage by the
frosts started general buying shorts be-
ing especially prominent and the market
advanced steadily. Even when wheat was
at its weakest corn was firm held by a
large demand by good-sized clearances
and by the frost reports. Trading wns
not large but the market was by no
means a dull one.
Provisions were very erratic the mar-
ket moving up and down within n com-
paratively narrow rnngo but without any
apparent reason except outside scalping
manipulation. The market ultimately
felt the break in whent'and final prices
were close to the bottom.

COTTON.
New York.
New York June 1. While the cotton
market was slow sales 50000 bales the
general- tone was firm on the local cov-
ering inspired more or less by conflicting
nrivnte cron accounts nnd a nostitivelv
bullish official weekly crop report from
Washington indicating cool nights dry
weather and lice with the effect of re-
tarding the development of the crop. The
market opened a met and easy at a de
cline of 1 to 3 points early cables being
not up to expectations. But the opening
was the lowest level of the day. Imme-
diately after the first cull prices com
menced to stiffen on covering nnd from
the lowest point the market advanced 6
to 8 points with the close auiet and steady
at a net gain of 1 to 3 points. During
the afternoon there wns some liquidation
on account of the continued lack of out
side speculative support. A feature of
the trading wns liberal buying by Liver
pool houses. This and indications of a
cold wave from the uortuwest were tin
leading features in the early stability of
the market.

NOTICE TO CATTLKMEN.
Cattle Infected With Ticks or Dis-
ease Had Better Be Inspected.
Fort Worth Tex.i May 29. (Special.)
The following self-explanatory circular
letter was isgued today:
"Notice to Cattlemen and Shippers
Quanah Hardeman County Tex. May
29. Dear Sir: In several of the coun-
ties bordering on the live stock quaran-
tine line in the state of Texas cattle
have been found with ticks on them and
a number of herds gathered for shipment
have been found so infected and returned
to the pasture from which they were
taken; and in one instance a herd was
shipped by rail a considerable distance
and then inspected found infected and
shipped back thereby entailing heavy
loss upon the shippers.
"It is the wish of the national bureau
of animal industry that hereafter all
cattle that should be gathered for ship-
ment from any border county (that is
any county lying just west of such quar
antine line) be inspected by the live stock
sanitary board of the state of Texas and
a permit or bill of health given before
such cattle are shipped or driven.
ineretore. it is the order of the hve
stock sanitary commission of Texas that
no cattle be driven or shipped either
north or west from said counties until
such cuttlo have licen inspected and
permits or bills of health given for such
cattle to be shipped or driven. In nil
cases if notice Is given me in time stilt
ing where the herd Is and their destina-
tion I will send an .inspector to insncct
anu give permits wnere tne cattle nre
found healthy and free from ticks; but if
cattle are infected with ticks or disease
tt will be a useless expense to have
them inspected.
in tne event this order is not recog
nized and strictly complied with I will
cause all such counties to be quarantined
and cattle therein prohibited by the
unueu btates agricultural department
from being shinned or driven into anv
other state or territory except for im-
mediate slaughter.
