STOUKS AND BONDS, Belling Movement Was Started Early and the Market Was Active All Day, NEW YORK, May 16—The share specu- lation today was characterised by con- siderable activity, but the Increased volume of business was due to the inauguration of a selling movement, which Included Sugar, St. Paul, B ington & Quincy and Chicago Gas, and in lesser degree others of the active shares. The pre gure to sell was most pronounced in Sugar. There {8 a growing bellef at the refining sugar interests will not e that col sideration of which they haVe claimed to be assured in the tarifi bill if it should reach final passage. The situation —in Washington is becoming more unsettled and the outlook is mot ko clear as it was a few weeks back for the Sugar people. The shares are, however, strongly sup- ported when atticked, and today after the gelling movement started at the opening had spent its force good buyers were not found wanting, wh purchases caused a recovery of the early loss and even sent the prices temporarily above the opening figures. The early decline was 2 per cent, the subsequent appreclation 2% per cent, then followed a reaction of 1% per cent' and a_ final rally of %, making a decline on the day of 7% per cent. Sugar preferred lost 1 per cent. ‘There were quite heavy sales of Bur- lington & Quind in the first hour, despite the fact that it was generally admitted that the regular dividend would be declared, and a_decline of % per cent was effected. Paul was even heaviec than its sister stock and there were evi- dences of liquidation of the shares held by a bull pool, which hoped to find a _mar- ket on the strength which it was hoped the Burlington dividend would impart to the dealings in the granger group. These expectations were not fulfilled and the of St. Paul moved down on the large gs made 14 per cent, with only % recovery at the close. Rock Island declined % and Northwestern stands unchanged compared with yesterday. Chicago Gas was sold down 1% per cent during the morning, ralied % in the afternoon and reacted %, losing 1 per cent on the da: A break of 2t was made in National Lead on sales believed to be for the account of insiders, and the stock closed within i of the lowest point touched. The gen- eral market W weak throughout the day and closed heavy, with prices as a rule % to 3% below vesterday’s final sales. Exceptions were Pacific Mail, New York Central and Missouri Pacific, which are 14 and % per cent higher respectively. “The bond market was weak all day. The Evening Post says: Partly because of the western raflroads’ further move in the rate cutting matter, and partly, per- haps, because of the Burlington dividend, the éarly movement of the sranger stocks showed ‘a fair degree of firmness. In the 1ast half hour, however, a VIgorous pro- fessional attack, centering in St. Paul, and assisted probably by some liquidation, caused a few rather striking net declines. This movement, however, extended over only a small part of the list, the market in_general being quite irregular. The total sales of stocks today were 220,897 shares, including: Atchison, 7,000; Bugar, 51,600; Burlington, 21,900; Chicago Gas, '13,400; 'Distilling & * Cattlefeeding, 8,100; General Electric, 2,600; Louisville & Nashville, 5300; Missouri Pacific, 7,900; National 'Lead, 12,500; New York & New England Northern ~ Pacific, 3,500, Rock Island, 4,200; St. Paul, 41,005 Union Paclfic, 3,300; Western Union, 9,90.

CHICAGO, May 16.—Today's cattle market was not comforting to sellers only was it dis- ngly dull, but it was weak n thousand cattle is too big a supply for the slim demand, as shippers were made aware of today, for they had to submit to a decline varying from Ge to 10c per 100 Ibs. There were lots of good to prime heavy cattle here, and that class especiully sold bad.

The calf market was steady. They bought good hogs at $4.95 to $6, and the cream of the offerings at At the close $5 was regarded a8 the top price, though _ther: tering sales early in the day at $5.10 to 1214, The increased receipts, the depression in the Board of Trade markets and the hot weather were all weakening features, and sufficiently ac- count for the reduction of i5c that sellers were obliged to submit to. Trade was dull at the opening and was more intensely o later in the forenoon. Some of the packers were out of the market entircly, and the few who were at work acted as though they wished they were not in it. Sales were o ull the way from $3 to $4.50 for culls to $6.10 to $5.121 for extra qual- ity.

Inspectors Begin Doctoring tho Federal Building Foundations. Inspector Adolph Cluss of the Treasury | 1.1 department s again in the city, and this time he is superintending a test of the plers of the mew postofiice. The stability, or rather lack of stability, of the founda- tion is still exciting the apprehension of the officials and it has been determined to test the various plers with heavy weights, and after noting the result take such pre- cautionary measures before going further with the construction of the building as will insure its standing solidly after com- pletion. The pler in the northwest corner is now undergoing a test. It covers a little over 100 square feet of ground and it is weighted with 230 tons of pig lead that was hauled up from the smelter for the purpose. This gives a weight of a little over two tons to the square foot. The estimated weight that the pier will have to carry after the bulding is completed is two tons. The weight will be left there for thirty days. It has already been there several days and the pier is still going down unevenly. The idea that “surface water’ was responsible for the unfavorable conditions that exist there was abandoned long ago, even by those who believed at the start that such was the case, and the fact that there are a lot of springs there is now conceded by them. How to get a sdlid bullding on an inse- cure and unstable foundation is the problem that now confronts-the. builders, and it is by no means a simpla,que, as they are con- stantly finding out. “As soon as the tests are completed it is, probable that the public will be given some: information that will throw considerable Lght on the situation.
