technical position could be tlCBlred thnri
Its ncllor) today, especially In vlow of
the acute International situation which
1,98 ruled since the sinking of tho Lusl
lanla nnd which was Intensified yester
day by the mishap to tho American
gteatfslilp N'cbrnsknn, There wasi no
pressure to sell securities today, and
white there was no outside demand, soma
traders bought stocks, whllo shorts cov
ered commitments. This resulted In A
if recovery which wis participated In quite
generally throughout the list. Activity
nts not large, howovcr, and tho attitude

ii the holders of tho market to Bomo ex-
JE tent because of the belief that the dc
t wand for tho metal will become larger as
" time goes on, nnd a helpful thing was
the higher prices for the metal cabled
over from London.
; The weakest shnres In tho mnrket were
j Chicago, Hock Island and Pacific and
I Missouri Pacific. The former made a
! new low record of 15?4, a loss of 1 from
ij-eitcrday. Tho previous low record was
1 18U which was reached on March 1. On
: April 10 of this year tho stock sold at 39.

Both BtockB recovered from tho low in
,the afternoon, but were still off from the
closing yesterday. Itcports were reiter
ated that In the reorganization of the
"Keck Island a heavy assessment would
he exacted from the stockholders. Pre
vious reports have had it that this
would be between $30 and 540 n Bhare.
Belief In some quarters that SO per cent,
cl the Missouri Pacific notes would not
h rlenoslterl for th extension, which
fe amount Is necessary, was the cause of
i the break In that stock. Only 6114 per

receivership for the road, that Is, unless
the unexpected happens. Prices of other
Issues held up well during the afternoon,
hut there was no Increase In the volume

i. me closing was srong, uue largely xo
ii report from Washington that the roply

It was conciliatory. Maxwell Motors Is

IMPROVED INQUIRY
FOR UNION TRACTION
Fears Regarding Dividend Dis
sipatedLocal Market Quiet.
United Railway Plans.
Returning confidence thnt the Union
Trnctlon dividend would be pnld at the
usUnl limn and In email cnuscd an upward
tendency In the prlco of the stock In nn
otherwise uninteresting local market aea
alon today. The buying enmo chiefly from
Investment sources, and lifted the quota
tion above 31 befoie noon. Ttnpld Transit
remnlned Inactive, however, white Phila
delphia Traction established n now low
record for the present movement at 7314
on an odd-lot sale.
In the afternoon flnpld Transit trust
certificates moved up to 8 on tnoderato
purchases. tluffalo and Susquehanna
alnrea roe over n point and Heading wai
another strong spot. On the other hand
l'Mlndclphla Klectrlc wnn for tale nnd
loat a fraction
The Street awaited with Interest tho
outcome of the Hntdwin Locomotive dl
rcetora' meeting today, to act on tho
dividend. General opinion was that tho
1 per cent, payment would bo maintained,
and the stock, nftcr opening at a frac
tional loss, moved up moderately.
Annther stronR spot was Orntnp Ship
building stock, which recovered more
thnn a point of yesterday's decline. Cam
bria Steel fluctuated erratically, but de
veloped no definite tendency, while United
States Steel ruled steady throughout the
irrenter part of tho session.
Philadelphia Company crossed 31. de
spite riillnRs of the California Ttallroad
Commission ordorlnn the United Rail
roads of San Frnnclsco to set aside $650,000
a ypar for thieo years for purposes of Im
provement. The commission acatn criticises the
bookkeeping of the company and says
thnt Instead of a surplus In Its treasury
therr Is really n deficit. On the evidence
now at hand the commission oas tnnt
there was apparentlv a deficit of $4,000,000
June 30, 11)14, while the books of the com
pany showed a surplus of $1,018,633.
Rumor now has It that there may be a
reorganization of the system which, It 1b
said, would Include a scaling down of the
?23,OOJ,000 4 per cent, bonds. Increasing the
Interest rate to 5 per cent, and readjust
ing the capital stock.
Commercial paper transactions contlnuo
to constitute the bulk of tho money mar
ket Iti this city nnd quotations cover a
considerable range, ratea being given all
the way from three to four per conk, ac
cording to maturity and names. The bulk
of tho business Is being dono around 3
rcr cent. Just as the stiffness resulting
from the Lusltnnla disaster was passing
off the Nebraskan Incident crops up and
may cause another tendency to harden.
No change has occurred In call rates.

not of such proportions as In previous

Asserts Claims Aro "Shocking to
Good Conscience."
NEW YORK, May 27.
In Its nnswer to the suit brought by
Dick Brothers & Co. charging the Lonsr
Island mnnaKemcnt with mismanagement,
tho company holds that the claims ad
vanced are "shocking to good conscience"
In thnt for 13 years, with full knowledge
of the plans nnd operations of tho com
pany, Dick Brothers "publicly applauded
and approved and acquiesced In tho acts
of the company" without objection until
now.
The nnswer Is a statement of the needs
of the Long Island for the expenditure
of new capital to bring it up to standard
after tho Pennsylvania had bought con
trol and tho manner In which the Penn
sylvania, through the expenditure of
large nmountB of new capital, has
brought tho Long Island to it point where
Its physical development has been as
sured and Ita credit restored.
'The whole development," tho nnswer
states, "has been. Is and will be of great
benefit, profit and advantage to the Long
Island. The debt ts neither unreasonable,
excessive nor unfair. Relative to the
magnitude of the undertaking It Is ex
ceedingly small, The rate of Interest has
been low, 4 per cent. Tho directors of
the Long Island hnvo committed no
waste, they have permitted no waste."
The expenditures for entrance into
Manhattan have been justified by results.
It Is held, the gross earnings of tho Long
Island having Increased 190 per cent,
over thoio In 1900.

Price Forced Down by Commis
sion House Selling, Despite
Poor Crop Condition Reports
CHICAGO. May Z7.-Heatricted selling
of SIny wheat by commission houses
forced the price down to I1.42H, off 8
cents from the final yesterday nnd 711
cents from tho opening, July started at
$1.27',, went to $1.28 and dropped back to
tho close of yesterday, $!.I6. There was
a poor demand throuRhout the day
In tho final dealings May wheat recov
ered some of its loss, closing at M.45, down
Just 6 points. On tho other hand, July
advanced, ending the day at J1.2JW, up
nearly a cent from the opening.
Indiana reports a large aroa ot worth
less wheat, covering five counties, as a
result of the damage caused by recent
heavy rains.
Fully 1,000,000 bushels of wheat are In
transit to Chicago from Missouri River
markets, St Louis and Interior points, all
of which will be on sale for May de
livery. Itcports from Iowa, parts of Illinois,
Missouri, Indiana and northwestern Ne
braska and Kansas say that a new lot
of corn will havo to bo replanted owing
iu ictciu coia, wet weauicr.
Amorlcan shipments of wheat to the
United Kingdom will naturally depend
upon the progress of the new crop. Tha
floating supply of wheat to England at
the end of the season promises fair ex
pectations, but shipments during July are
likely to bo much Btnaller than this time
of last year.
Fears of a prolonged wet spell are ef
fecting Argentine markets. The amount
of corn avnllable for export from that
country will not exceed 153,000,000 bushels.
Russian cables report almost a full
acreage seeded to wheat, as seed and
labor is plentiful.
