Henry H, Rogers, the olly joker, and the Standard Oil attorneys won a signal viotory in the Supreme Court to-day decided that Mr. Rogers is not legally obliged to pswer questions concerning stock ownership pi: to him by Attorney- General Hadley, of Missouri, during the recent Standard Oil ineuiry in this otty, which is to be resumed on Beb. 9 Justice Gilkiersieeve, in his decision, vpholds the contention of Standard Oil | counsel that the question of the rele- yanoy of the irquiries of Attorney- General Hadley !s one that the Supreme Court of the State of Missour! should decide. Attorney-General Hadley’ investiga- ard Oll Company, of Indiana, the Wa- ters-Pierce Oll Company, of St. Louis, and the Republic Oli Company, of Ohio, pre ajl virtually ocontroiled by Standard Oj] Company, of New Jersey. ‘Mr. Rogers on the witness-stand wos asked if it was not a fact that the ton of which he is the head controls the three corporations against Missouri mey-General’s Tatestign tion is directed.

The pol back ino the property In the form business at a Killing pace, Offerings of stocks were tremendous, but the market consumed them with forced-draught tn- tensity. Almost In a breath 20.00 shares of Steel Common were taken on rising quotationd, Reading und Union Pacific shares were absorbed with equal avid- {ty, In the language of one trader: “Philadelphia bought Reading by the cord.” Quite naturally the U, & Bteel shares | f opened strong on the very favorable re- port of Inst year’s éarnings, Steel pre- ferred eold for a short time after the opening two polnts hixher than yester- day's price. ‘The spirited uplifting of Union Pacitic was due mainly to heavy {purchases by Kuhn, Loeb & Co, and other Harriman representatives. A re- port provuiled that Kuhn, Loeb & Co. dourht $0,000 shares of Union Pacific yesterdzy and to-day. Another rumor that helped along the Union Pacific enthusiasm was that William K. Vanderbilt bad_ increased his holdings of this stock to 175,00 shares. Of course, on the heels of this rumor came the old fairy storiss about the Union Pacific being included in a great Vanderbilt line from the Atlantic to the Pacific. At the end of @ strenuous hour the market slackened its pace. Bome of the bear operators then resumed opera- tons, and prices reacted alightly, An apparently insatiable demand for stocks | On developed, however, and the general tone gradually became firmer. The shares of the Pennsylvania Hallroad the Baltimore & Ohio, Norfolk & West- ern and Chesapeake & Ohio were in good demand, and the character of the buying disc’osed no timidity.

The remarkable energy developed by Amalgamated Copper was construed as reflecting the bullish spirit of Henry H. Rogers and his friends. The little bulls and the bulls of medium size took on fresh courage in the bellef that “the Standard Oil crowd” was in the forefront of the fray. ‘The speculative contingent in Wall street continues to look askance at the Metropolitan issues.
