OTHER STOCKS HARD HIT Heavy Selling Attributed to General Dissatisfaction With Business Conditions . ? NEW YORK. June "J*.?First prices of E stocks today showed fractional conces- C slons from yesterday's closing, but the C volume of dealings was moderate and C there were no violent declines in the *"eading active stocks, and there was a c sprtnkling of gains in stocks of secondary J; Importance. Atchison. American Car and American Agricultural Chemical lost 1 and Reading .VS. ^ Stocks were unloaded in increasing voj- ^ time and prices gave way precipitately. ^ Some of the leading stocks, such as St. ? Paul and United States Steel, touched q the lowest prices of the year, and the c whole market was one of great weakness, q Q Declines Were General. c ^ Declines of between 1 and 2 points I were registered In about everything ? _ _ _ ? r traded In. St. Paul broke 31*. Union Pa- J A dflc. Great Northern preferred and Canadian Pacific 2, and Reading. Atchinson, * Northwestern and Northern Pacific Hi- ? v. Active covering by shorts caused a quick j rally of 1 to IS in half a doren stocks. ~ and the market was holding well at 11 G o'clock with activity decidedly diminished. Trading quieted down materially as the recovery was extenued until losses were reduced tp fractions for the most part. The good crop news from the corn belt was reflected in a gain by Rock Island preferred of 1 "* and Kansas and Texas 1. Some Heavy Losses. A WO share block of Lackawanna sold at 530. a decline of 20. American Ex.press fell 10. United States Pipe preferred fell 9 and Northwestern 2. The selling of stocks was attributed to general dissatisfaction with business conditions, aggravated by the deterioration in spring wheat. The tone was rather unsteady at noon. Bonds were irregular. More buying orders came in and the market overcame its heaviness for a time. The list began to sag, the reaction reaching a point in some of speculative leaders. Little support was encountered on the decline. American Sugar preferred dropped 4 points. , I COTTON MARKETS. J * NEW YORK. J NEW YORK, June 28.?Cotton futures j opened easy.

I The market opened easy at a decline J of 9al9 points under active liquidation E and bear pressure, inspired by weak * cables, better weather in the south and * a weak stock market. It was said that I July notices amounting to about 10.000 p bales were being stopped by the bull j leaders, but there was no sign of 1m- <portant support in the market, and offer- ^ ings appeared to be chiefly absorbed by ? the covering of recent sellers and a de- a mand from spot houses at the decline. S The market ruled regular after the & opening. a After selling off to a net loss of about c lla21 points offerings became a little _ leas urgent and a renewal of support JJ from the bull leaders, together with cov- * ring by early sellers, caused a rally of 1 4 or 5 points from the lowest, with trad- 1 ing less active in the forenoon and prices ? at midday showing a net loss of from 7 ? to 11 points. Later estimates placed the . July notices at about 20.UU0 bales, which were said to have been stopped as rapidIjr as they reached the bull houses, but T which probably caused some trailing ? liquidation while circulating through the ? street. Private cables from Liverpool re- ?ported apprehensions of further troubles in Lancashire followtng the two small mill failures reported yesterday.

Two children were attacked and bitten by dogs yesterday afternoon. William Crowley, seven years of age, whose parents reside at 908 P street southwest, was bitten on the left leg by a dog owned by August Schatz of 488 9th street southwest. Edna Perkins, sixteen years old, who lives at 1210 Union street southwest, was bitten on the left arm by a dog said to be owned by Ernest Enhart of 1226 6th street southwest. Both animals were taken in charge by police of the fourth precinct and sent to the pound to be asphyxiated. Their heads will be sent to the bureau of animal industry, Department of Agriculture, in order to determine if the dogs had rabies. Children Under Treatment. The Crowley boy went home after he had been bitten. His parents had Dr. G. R. Lee Cole, 418 7th street southwest, cauterize the wound. Edna Perkins was sent to Sibley Hospital for treatment. Should it develop that the animais were sunering rrom raDtes, tne children will probably be given the Pasteur treatment at the Naval Medical School Hospital. Poundmaster Einstein has two forces on duty picking up stray dogs in order to reduce the danger of such attacks being made. La6t week about one hundred dogs were impounded and asphyxiated. Many Persons Bitten. Nearly a dozen persons have been attacked and bitten by dogs this season. but in no case has hydrophobia developed, so far as the police have been advised. Ransom Bailey, six years old, whs was bitten by a dog about ten days ago, is receiving the Pasteur treatment at the Naval Medical School Hospital. His leg was terribly lacerated.

June 28.?Big selling of wheat, which was presumably on eastern orders, was done today by a firm that had been the largest buyer here during several successive sessions. This fact, with much profit-taking by other traders, wiped out a fresh advance of % to 1*4. which marked the opening this morning. The September option which started at 1.00% to 1.01%, covering the extreme range in the rise, fell to exactly last night's figures, 1.00%, but quickly rallied to 1.01%. Continuance of strengin was due to clear, hot weather in the droughtstricken northwest. One dispatch from North Dakota went so far as to predict only a third of the usual yield in that state. On the other hand, foreign crop conditions were reported generally favorable, with harvesting beginning auspiciously In southern Europe. Rains relieved fears for corn, but did not stop scattered purchases based principally on the bullishness of wheats September started unchanged to %c higher at 00% to 00%, declined to 59% and reacted to 00%. There was heavy selling of oats by a local speculator. The crowd followed suit. September opened unchanged to %c up to 38% to 39, dropped to 88% and recovered to 38%. Smalt manufacturers were hedging hog products. In consequence the market was easy and 2% to 7%c lower. First prices for the September options were: Pork, 22.45; lard, 12.37%, and ribs, 12.40. < LIVERPOOL.

Consumers Pay Heavily, Too, for Paper Wrappings on Hams and Bacon. NEW YORK, June 2S?W. H. Noyes, a representative of Swift & Co., testified at a hearing at the city hall yesterday that in 190b the New York public paid for 225,000 pounds of wood "spreaders" in its meat at an estimated expenditure of ?iS.000. lie gave his figures to refute statistics prepared by the city bureau of weights and measures, which had estimated the amount of wood purchased in New York as meat last year at 587,000 pounds. Retail and wholesale butchers alike gathered at the hearing to give their side of the case. The city authorities are trying to remedy short weights and firsthand information is sought. Hams and bacon weighed before the assemblage showed how the public is gulled. A ham, including' heavy paper wrapping, marked 13^4 pounds, tipped the scale at only 11 pounds 14 ounces. Another marked 10^4 pounds weighed 9 pounds 7 ounces Similar shrinkage was shown in bacon. The retailers blamrd it all on the wholesalers. A. campaign of concerted action was decided upon. statesWiM"pistol ENCOUNTER OCCURS IN LOBBY OF CUBAN CONGRESS. Bullet Misses Hark, But Grazes Head of Bystander?Duel Is Probable. HAVANA, June 28.?A sensational attempt to kill Antonio San Miguel, congressman from Pinar del Rio and editor of La Luchla. was made in the lobby of congress yesterday afternoon a few minutes before that body was to open Its session. Representative Manuel Lores of Oriente was the assailant. The single shot he fired went wild, narrowly missing another representative standing near. San Miguel was standing in the lobby awaiting the opening of the session when he was approached by Lores, who had several friends with him. Lores whipped out a revolver and fired at San Miguel at short range. Also Drew a Pistol. The bullet missed its mark, but grazed the head of Representative Antonio Gonzales Lanuza, leader of the conservative party, who was standing behind Sar Miguel. The latter drew a pistol, but before further shots could be exchangee the combatants were separated. The attempt caused a great commotion and It was some time before quiet could be restored. The session of the house then proceeded. It is believed that a due between San Miguel and Lores is inevit able. The cause of the attempt was the attitude of Congressman San Miguel in denouncing editorially as a colossal frauc the proposition to exchange the Villa Nueva station of the United railways, or the Prado, for the government's arsena lands, of which scheme Congressmar Lores and his colleagues are ardent supporters. Weapons Drawn in House. When the question came up in the house June 15 there was a violent scene, and pistols were drawn, whereupon furthei discussion of the project was postponed until yesterday. The measure had been placed on yesterday's calendar, but because of the DllUUlUlg 119 UiSCUDBlUIl WttO XUI IUC1 pVDl* poned. The attempt to kill Congressman San Miguel, when It became generally known, caused excitement throughout the city. Prediction is general that the shooting la only the preliminary of a bloody factional feud. Congressman Lores was not arrested on account of his congressional immunity. GAS WAS TTTRNED ON. James Murphy, Hotel Guest, Is Found Dead in Bed. A man who registered under the name of James Murphy at the Majestic Hotel, 470 Pennsylvania avenue, last night, was found dead in his bed about 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. The cracks of the door had been closed, indicating suicide. The man, whose address is unknown, arrived a. the hotel about midnight and was assigned to a room. When the odor of gas was detected issuing from the room this afternoon the door was opened and the body found lying on the bed. MBS. CRAMER ELUSIVE. Woman Sued as a Spiritualist Absent From State Department. Mrs. Laura R. Cramer, against whom suit was filed in the District Supreme Court yesterday alleging that she had influenced by spiritualistic methods Fenton J. Hurd, a wealthy octogenarion, to give her $40,000 by making him believe his wife in the spirit world was directing the transaction, could not be found today. Mrs. Cramer has until Friday, the day set by Justice Anderson for a hearing in the case, to frame her answer, and it was said at her apartment at the De Soto, 13th street and Massachusetts avenue northwest, today that she was "somewhere consulting with her lawyers."

Her son was at his office in the division of accounts of the State Department, which is located in the Chion Trust building, but he refused to answer any questions in regard to his mother or to the suit which had been brought against her. TALSE PRETENSES CHARGED. Negro Accused of Forging Name of His Employer. William Johnson, colored, giving his address as 430 19th street northwest, was locked up at the third precinct police station this afternoon by Detective Embrey and Policeman Carlin, the charge against him being false pretenses.
