Nearly a,! the Interest on the Broad street curb today was attached to the trading In tha new Flemish-Lynn stocks, Into which Lynn Phonograph shares aro to be exchanged. There were heavy dealings In the Flemish Lynn common, which rose from 6 to 6i, that stock selling above tho 7 per cent, preferred, which was traded nt 4 to 4. This difference In market 'position was based on the knowledge of the earnings of the company, which are understood to Justify far more liberal dividends than tho 7 per cent to which the preferred stock Is entitled.

Attorney Argues Against Dissolution to Unite Pennsylvania nnd Bethlehem NEWARK. N. J.. Mav 22. Claiming that the proposed dissolution of Pennsylvania Steel Company nnd Its subsidiary compa nies, by which their assets would bo sold to the Bethlehem Steel Compnny for $31, 941,630, was In violation of the Sherman anti-trust act, the Clayton trust net and tho Seven Slaters nets of New Jersey, Itobert II, McCarter. representing the minority stock holders of the New Jersey concern, argued today before Judgo Itellstab, in Newark branch of United States District Court, for an Injunction to enjoin the liquidation. Mr. McCarter Is counsel for Clarence II. Venner, of New York. He told Judge Itell stab thnt the Pennsylvania Steel Company of Now Jersey was worth more than $31, 941,630. Further, he declared that tho assets wero not only worth more than the price named, but that the sale was Irregular and tended only as an evasion of the Clayton act, the Sherman act and tho "Seven Sis ters' act. Joseph II. Brandt, of Philadelphia, holder of 130 shares of preferred stock, first sought injunction proceedings, but later withdrew In favor of Venner. NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET NEW YORK, May 22.

Heavy liquida tion on rains In the central portions of tho cotton belt and because of less confidence of peaco In Europo was the feature at tho opening on tho Cotton Exchange this morn ing. There was considerable short covering nnd some Southern Interests bought every option on the list. Wall Street nnd com mission houses were sellers, but mill buying absorbed the offerings on a rather good scale. May started 6 points higher, but other options were unchanged to 7 points lower, with the1 tone easier. Considerable signifi cance was attached to the fact that July and October started at 12.06c. and held at the same levels all through the first 16 minutes of business. The early offerings were well enough taken to steady prices around 13.02a for July and 13.03c. for October. Trado Inter est seemed to be buying, while there was some covering of shorts, but the demand was by no means nggresslve and the market turned easier again after 11 o'clock under renewed liquidation and scattering pres sure. Stop orders wero uncovered ns July broke through the 13c. level and prices soon broke n n. net loss of some It to IB points. There seemed to be no fresh news factor, but the favorable view of weather conditions and the pessimistic feeling as to peaco pros pects seomed to be bringing In more or less commission house liquidation.
