RAILS SUFFER IN
RAID ON STOCKS
Northwestern Driven to New
Low Record at 704.
NEW YORK, June 9.—The stock mar
ket showed an improvedi tone at the
opening today, initial prices being from
fraction* to two points above yesterday’s
{losing lewels.
The entire rail list, however, was raid
ed at the close of the first hour's trad
ing. Chicago & Northwestern made a
new low on the break of 70%. Pennsyl
vania was down nearly a point at 35%,
Delaware & Hudson was under 90 and
Rock Island sold at 36.
The market developed considerable ac
tivity In the last hour of tradirg and
the trend of prices was distinctly up
ward, with Baldwin and American
Woolen leading the industrials.
United States Steel common made a
new high for the day at 93%. while
Studebaken got above 69 and Chandler
Motors above 134.
By Thomson & McKinnon.
A state of suspended animation. If
such can be applied, just about tells the
story of the day's market.
Fluctuations were slight; volume
small.
It is a well known fact that a spec
ulative market can be likened to a huge
mirror, reflecting opinion. As publ*c In
terest is absent at the moment, it is fair
to assume the public are without opin
ion as to the immediate market.
Gossip, in the absence of other news
or events to occupy the minds-of traders,
is dealing just now with the possibility
of stock dividends, but unfortunately
nothing tangible is forthcoming as to
the companies likely to declare such
dividends or when the announcement will
be miNle.
Money was not a disturbing factor,
though prevailing rates continue to indi
cate scarcity of fuuds.
There has been some spasmodic
liquidation in rails, but not In volume,
while in the industrials, trade has beeu
lar ely of a professional nature.
The investing public appear to be
waitinc for definite action by the Chi
cago convention.
At the moment there does not seem
to be much encouragement to buy se
r-iriti"'! hut bv the same token, the ac
tion of the market clearly Indicates there
is no incentive to sell.
A trading market is the best that we
can hope for until the convention ia out
of the way.

Political Rumors and Reports
of Bad Weather Factors.
CHICAGO, June 9.—Price of raln
futures closed strong on the Board of
Trade today.
All grains were up on rumors that re
publican leaders bad agreed on a can
didate and a strong buying movement in
July future developed.
July oats climbed Tc during the day
and closed 6%c above the opening.
Trading was lively, despite bear re
ports of good weather in the corn belt.
Bad weather conditions In Minnesota and
North Dakota, where winds are reported
to have done great damage to farmers,
was a bullish Influence.
July corn opened at $1.72 and closed
at $1.74%, up 2%c; September corn closed
at $1.61%, 3%c above the opening of $1.58.
July oats closed at $1.04; 6%c above the
opening of 97%c; September oats opened
at 79%c and closed at 81%c, up 2%c.
Provisions were higher.
(By Thomson A McKinnon)
The fact that yesterday’s crop report
failed to show an improvement in con
dition of wheat was the chief motive In
the early corn market.
During the day strength was secured
from the action o fthe oats market.
Cash corn was Inclined to drag a*
shippers are adverse to building up any
acumulatlons because* of the difficulty In
moving the grain to the east. Therefore,
the industries had very little competition.
Argentine corn has commenced to ar
rive at Atlantic ports and the premiums
for spot cofn In this market are lessen
ing. These two Items may be taken as
reasons for anticipating a checking of
the present advancing tendency, but in
asmuch as corn at the seaboard is not
available here and as contract grades are
still 15c to 17c over the July delivery,
we see no valid reason for becoming con
vinced of any lower range of prices.
The extreme premiums for current ar
rival of oats and the fact that receipts
are less than fifty cars daily. has
awakened the trade to the unwarranted
discounts for the July delivery.
The crop of yesterday, which Indicates
a small yield than the average annual
consumption in recent years, has prompt
ed anew demand for the September de
livery.
The advance today has been so rapid
and extreme that the market may hesi
tate, but It is Inevltalbe that the July
delivery and the conract grades must
reach a partly, and there Is nothing dis
coverable In the shipping situation to
suggest that the adjustment will be at
the expense of the cash market.
Action of grains has been the main
factor In the provision list, with a mod
erate broadening of the Interest In the
market. There Is no particular Improve
ment In the cash trade.

PENN U. SEES
EXHIBITION OF
AZTECS’ GOLD
300 Pieces of Exquisite Handi
work in Collection Laid
Out at Museum.
PROVES OLDEN TALES
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 9.—The
•‘golden age” In America that ended 7 In
the enrichment of Spain and the down
fall of the Aztec empire has hardly In
modern times been made to appear so
real and tangible as has lately happened
at the museum of the University of Penn
sylvania when ‘‘3oo pieces of dull and
shining gold, wrought into a myriad of
strange, fantastic ornaments, and cast
solidly Into the forms of forgotten gods”
were placed on public exhibition.
A larger collection of ancient American
goldwork has not been brought together,
and archaeologists believe that many of
the pieces were shipped to Spain by Cor
tez and may have been selected by Mon
tezuma as gifts to his fellow monarch
at the time when he was at once at
tempting to persuade the Spaniard to
turn back and providing such potent in
centive for him to come on.
Five million dollars’ worth of gold,
skillfully bundled by the goldsmith, give
to that ancient empire, which seems to
so many Americans more a myth than a
reality, a substantial basis of fact.
CORTEZ Al-80 HAD
SIXTEEN HORSES.
The sight of these golden ornaments
assures the modern observer of the wealth
of that vanished nation very much as
the sight of its gold gave similar assur
ance to the Spaniards who, in the early
sixteenth century, set out to conquer it.
The force with which Cortez landed,

FOUNDED IN 1865
says Prescott, “amounted to 110 mariners,
553 soldiers, including 32 crossbowmen
and 13 arquebusiers, besides 200 Indians
and a few Indian women for menial
offices.
“He was provided with ten heavy guns,
four lighter pieces called falconets, and
with a good supply of ammunition.
“He had besides sixteen horses
“The empire that he set out to con
quer was warlike, with armies “divided
into bodies of 8,000 men,” but its sol
diery had never faced bullets and never
seen a horse.
It would be safe to say that nowadays
the popular Idea, without much historic
knowledge but with a good deal of hon
est sympathy for conquered nations In
general, sympathizes with Montezuma
and condemns Cortez; but the exact jus
tice of that opinion is open to criticism,
and It may reasonably be held that the
Aztecs, by their own national policy of
conquest, had outlawed themselves from
such sympathy.
BUT AZTECS BUILDED
ON FALSE IDEALS.
Leaving the gold out of consideration,
the Spaniards were immensely strength
ened by their desire to extend the sphere
of their religion—for the mercenary and
the religious motives went hand in hand
with them —and the Aztec religion fought
unwittingly on the Spanish side.
Considering the small number of Span
iards, and the Impossibility of reinforce
ments, It is at least arguable that Cor
tez could never have brought his men to
th§ capital of the empire had it not been
for the determination of the Aztec sol
diery to capture rather than destroy
i their enemies.
The practice might have ‘been humane;
the purpose disgraces the "civilization”
that evolved It: for the Spanish soldier*
soon learned that Aztec warfare was
conducted to provide, in Montezuma’s
own words, “victims for his gods.”
Such a “civilization,” nowever beauti
i ful its goldwork, could well vanish, and
I the world be better for Its disappearance.
