THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 4, 1909. 7 THE COURT DECISION STIMULATED MARKET Though in Favor of Government, Re garded as Victory For Coal Carry ing Roads. New York, May S. The violent fluctuations in Reading belied the as sumption that the supreme court de cision in the commodities clause case woulii prove without stock market in fluence in either direction. The market slipped into a condition of stagnation before the announcement of the decision and became almost equally lethargic in the preiod of per plexity following the first report on the scope of the, decision. Sentiment regarding the decision underwent vio lent mutations plainly Indicated in the downward plunge in Heading on the first bald announcement that the provisions of the luw were upheld and in the violent upshoot which fol lowed when the conviction took shape that while the terms of the law were upheld, the government's contentions regarding its construction against the railroad were not allowed. The ex treme range of Reading was from H2 at the lowest to 151 at the highest, the latter figure representing the highest price touched since the boom of stock in 1905 which culmi nated in a price of 164 in July, 1906. The general effect of the decision was also regarded as cheering and help ful for property and corporate in terests. The natural expression of cheerfulness by those Interests was to put up prices of stocks. The tak ing of another million dollar gold bar of the assay office for shipment to Paris showed the force of the de pletion of the bank reserves still in operation. The three percent call money rate ot last rrlday left an expectation of possibly firmer money rates for a day or two. Bonds were irregular. J6,760,000. U. S. bonds changed. MARKET REPORTS " UK PRIVATE WIRE Xew York, May 3. The market be came greatly excited today when the Hepburn commission clause decision was handed down. At first the deci sion was thought to benefit the gov ernment, and stocks broke sharply, but when Its text was read, it was found to exempt most of the coalers from the drastic provisions of the law, and this resulted in sharp up-turns in the mar ket, with Reading leading with an eight-point advance. There were -substantial gains all through the list. We look for still higher prices tomorrow. The Harriman shares, St. Paul, the Steels, Pennsylvania, New York Cen tral andi the Copper stocks all look promising and will likely do belterdur ing the next few days. COPPER. Boston, May 8. Massachusetts was again active today. It sagged half a point early, but rallied to 13 at the close, with the stock apparently scarce. Advise selling the stock at this level until more is known of the recent de velopment at the mine. North Butte, Greene, and Butte Coalition were in good demani near the close. The Hepburn decision handed down today seemed to be taken well, and the whole list showed sharp advances in Xew York. PAYNE, WEBBER &. CO. Total were sa'.es un- STOCKS.

It was a choppy market in wheat from first to last, but there was no let-up in the excellent support, which caused both May and July to close at gains for the day December alone showed weakness, caused by improved conditions In weather in sight. There was a fur ther cut in stocks of wheat afloat through Europe of 1,300,000 bushels. A special report on the growing crop says the plant has not improved as expect ed with the distribution of plenty of moisture. Our own crop observer re ports unpromising conditions in south ern Michigan and Xorthern Indiana. We advise watching cash wheat prices very closely and the buying of wheat on any good breaks.

Prices closed with little change from Saturday's figures. There was good strength during the morning. Cash corn held steady. Shipping sales for the day reached about 250,000 bushels. The prosjiects of better weather and large movement will cause general selling on the hard spots, and this looks like the safe course for the present. GRAIN. Chicago, May 3. Traders in the wheat pit were divided in their opi nions regarding the situation and as a result the market was nervous, al though during the greater part of the day, sentiment was inclined a trifle toward the bull side. Buying of July by a leading bull was one of the features and was largely respon sible for the firmness. Demand for cash wheat here was brisk and Min neapoiis ana Duiutn also reported a good demand. July ranged between ll.llSi and 1.12, closed at $1.124 & . May closed $1.16. Improved weather conditions for farmwork had a depressing effect on corn. The range on July was between 684H 69r c. At the close, prices were c higher to c lower than Saturday's final quotations, July being 68c. PROVISIONS. Chicago. May 3. Prices of all prod ucts closed at very small gains over those of Saturday. After showing con siderable strength at one time, it was thought that the packers offered some lard at the advance. . LOG AX & BRYAX. WESTERN MINING STOCKS. CATTLE AND SHEEP. Chicago, May 3.

The original field of review laid out for the board was in the matter of preservatives in foods, but the plan now is to refer to it many inquiries having to do with public health in general, with particu lar reference to the stamping out by national action of tuberculosis and ty phoid fever. President Taft is very much Interested In the movement and has held several conferences upon the subject within the past week, particu larly with Professor Irvin? Fisher of Tale, chairman of the Committee of One Hundred on Xational Health. A presidential 'recommendation along the lines of both party platforms is ex pected s the outcome. It is understood, however, that Presi dent Taft s idea is more along the lints of the creation of a bureau of public health under one of the present depart ments, with an assistant secretary at Its head, and under which all of the various matters touching the health of the community shall be grouped. The present existing Remsen board would be the basis if this bureau is more than likely. It is this board which in its recent findings overruling Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemis try, precipitated the bcnzoate of soda controversy, and it is now at work up on the subject of other preservatives used in the preparation of foods. As a matter of fact, there has been little of real difference of opinion between Dr. Wiley ana ine uoaru. xne iaicei, n-i j exhaustive experiments, aeciarea benzoate of soda when used preparations as a preservative in quan tities not exceeding four grams per day ! to the world we shall remain without j sufficient data upon which to base- any opinion.
