CLOSING PRICES
LOWEST OF DAY
, NEW YORK, May 31. — The vol-
ume of dealings in the stock mar
ket expanded again today on a
descending range of prices. The
decline became precipitate when
it was announced that the depart
ment of Justice was to apply for
an injunction to restrain the pro
posed increase in freight rates by
western railroads, which was to
go into effect tomorrow. Prices
had sagged from the outset, but
on a much less active market
than after this news became
known.
The topic was under consid
eration, however, by reason of
the request made by western ship
pers, in Washington yesterday for
this action by the government,
and the resolution on Uie subject
introduced into the senate today.
Prices closed at about the low
est of the day. A retrospect of
the market for May shows the
prospect of increased rates by the
railroads played an important
part in the comprehensive advance
in prices. The week after notices
had' been filed with the interstate
commerce commission of the in
tended • increase, prices started
upward from the low levels of
the year.
It was at the same time that
the reports were circulated of the
sale of the American railroad
bonds in Paris to the extent of
$100,000,000 to $150,000,000.
The information in circulation
on the western and southern
banking position is contradictory
as to the reduction of loans on
grain, cotton and land purchases.
Reports that come of the country
banks are -.« the market for com
mercial paj-^r at Chicago are con
trasted with assertions that trust
companies hi Chicago have to
meet very heavy demands for
credits from interior banks.
The dependence of the railroads
for increased freight charge* to
keep up earnings has. been much
emphasized in connection with" the
public agitation against these in
creases, and great stress has been
laid on the large increases in op
erating cost from the high costs
of material and advances In
wages. The intended Increase in
rates at all events was made the
instrument for lifting prices of
stocks- and the occasion for an
extensive speculation for the rise.
The resale of these accumulations
came as a natural consequence.
Bonds were easy. Total sales,
par value, $2,102,000.
United States bonds were un
changed.

Boston Copper Stocks
BOSTON, Mey 31.— The market was absolutely
dead until 1 p. m. There was an absence of
buying as well as selling orders, the market
awaiting the action of the New York list. Dur
ing the last two hours some activity was notice
nlile on the down side. There was no news over
the holidays to affect prices one way or the
other. Tfce market is simply In a waiting atti
tude and will doubtlessly follow the lead of
New York.
Other departments of the market are intensely
dull and devoid of any feature.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Future Grain and Provision*
CHICAGO, May 31.— Weakness in the stock
and cotton markets was the; last straw today on
the backs of the straggling bulls In the wheat
pit. Exceptionally bearish .foreign Quotations
aid tho rest; Compared with Saturday's final
figures the close was at a loss of 1,4 cto 194 e.
Corn showed h gain of VjC.to lVgc. Oats finished
'•4c ' lower to }ie higher, and provisions were
down 2>4c to 20c.
, Plain evidence of strain was visible In the
wheat trade at the start. The severe break in
prices -last week by the liquidation ?-' of large
lines held up by bull leaders had left the market
considerably demoralized. News of a decline at
Liverpool this morniug, except in times, of
stress,- added to the, initial transactions, which
were at a fall,, varying all the way from %c to
2V4e. Covering by shorts, especially some of: the
larger \ ones, caused a i sharp rally. Strength in
the cbrn market helped, but there was no new
investment demand. In. the absence of any sub
stantial support the market turned weak, partly
affected by weakness on the New York exchange
nml in cotton. Allegations of possible hail dam
age in Kansas and harm due from' weeds, due to
overplentlful rain, served to make the close rela
tively steady. September ranged between 90c
and 91 Hie. closing Vie down at 91 &c.
Deliveries on May contracts today amounted to
only 305.000 bushels, indicating that reports of a
practical settlement some days ago were well
rounded. Brokers acting for the eastern oper
ator, who was credited with having obtained
control were said to have profitably marketed to
mlllors and others ' since Friday morning- more
than 2,205.000 bushels of his cash holdings.
;Cold weather and - reports of much replanting
had a bracing effect on prices for corn. Septem
ber fluctuations varied from 57Vsc to sS^ic with
the close He up at 3S%c and the. tone of the
grain firm. The cash market also was firm; No.
2 yellow closed at 58<Si5S^e. *
Offerings of oata , were very large on swells,
due to the strength in ;corn. Crop and weather
conditions: were reported ideal. Price limits of
September were 34% c and 35v B e, with the close
#c up at 353s@3SVie.
Because" the week's exports were disappointing
and the western run of hogs only a little short
of the total a. year ago provisions started firmer,
but weakened with wheat. -Pork In the end- was
down 2%e to 20c; lard 7}ie and ribs s@loc. . •

Horses and Mules
The following quotations for homes and males
are furnished. bj tho Butchers' and Stock Grow
ers' Journal:
The local horse market was featureless during
the week, sales being confined to private sales.
Prices paid In all instances were fully up to our
quotations. Several of our big drayage firm*
have tbelr buyers on a still hunt throughout the
farming districts trying to pick up desirable
truck „' horsp*. Prices offered in every Instance,
while iv excess of our quotations, quality con
sidered, are not sufficiently attractive to tempt
those who have high class horses to part with
them. These^ buyers generally balk at auction
sales, preferring to take a chance from first
hand.
' It looks now as If the season, for disposing of
aged and plus horses lias passed. Farmers In
need of . team power will have »uf flclent to har
vest with this year. They may have to face a
hard problem next fall when they try to re
plenish their team power for the fall plowing.
From all accounts the supply of horses of -all
grades is badly depleted, both on the coast
and in the' east. Canada is also reported to be
short on horses.
Advices to -band Inform us that Teterinarlans
are engaged testing the 700 mules collected In
the San Joaquln district for Fiji account. These
mulns are said to be costing higher than oar
quotations call for, bat belnx a special order
and type, the whole of the United States Is said
to be combed to secure the' shipment, hence price
was no object.

flutter, Cheeae and Eggs
The high prices established for butter and
eggs -at the close, of last week checked the
demand, and as receipts over the holidays were
heavy, the market fell of its own weight yester
day. Sellers of butter outnumbered buyers on
the dairy exchange , and business under the call
sent prices down, extras being 3c lower on sales
at 27c a pound, while ' firsts dropped 2c to a
quotation of 26^c. In the egg department
extras lost 2%c. being quoted at 26c a dozen.
There were no eggs sold under the call on
change. The .new quotation was asked and 25c
was the highest bid. Cheese was steady to firm
at unchanged prices,' despite. heavy arrivals . over
the . holidays.
Trading on the exchange was confined to
extra butter, the sales \u25a0 being -as follows: 10
cases of extras at 2Sc, 20 at 27 He and 60 at 27c
a pound.
' Receipts for 3 days were 172,800 pounds of
butter, 205,500 pounds of cheese and 5,930 cases
of eggs.- -
The following are the official quotations es
tablished on the floor of the dairy exchange.
Prices in the street, while governed by the
exchange quotations, generally range from IVic
to . 2c higher, owing to the. various changes to
be added: ,:\u25a0

Hay and Feedstuff* •
AlfAlfA meal Is lower.
Somers & Co. say of hay:
"Hay shipments, which have been running
very light for several weeks past, have showed
a marked increase during: the last two or three*
days, total arrivals for the week ending today
amounting to 2.Boo>tons a.* compared with 2.390*
last w»>ek and 2,120 . for the^week preceding
that. \u25a0 Iti has been found necessary to increas*
shipments a bit to supply some consumer* who
figured too closely and found themselves cleaned
out before the end of the season, Such con*
sumers are buying but sparingly, so the ccndl.
tion of too market has not been strengthened la
any way.
"All eyes are now turned on the new crop
and it is a question as to who will win out
In - the controversy that faces all Interested la
hay. The producers claim that even with an.
Immense, carryover stock .this season's crop will
be so moderate as to make the total quantity
none too great for all natural demands. On tho
other hand, the consumers declare that the
state's crop ia good and that the present mod
erate range of prices will have to be materially
lessened.
"As the present hay crop can not be accu
rately determined as yet, we can voice no opinion
as to the future. We can not but feel, however,
that summer trading will be dull, for as con
sumers are looking for. low prices* they will
hardly be interested in following their usual idea
of storing away their winter's supply during the
harvest season.
"The market on new hay has not yet been es
tablished."
