May 16 -Trading In stocks was reduced to a minimum today snd prices barely moved through the session. Wall street passed the day In awaiting word from Washington In regard to de cisions by the supreme court In the Stan dard Oil and American Tobacco cases. The tension was not relieved during the dav, no definite word having been received from Washington at the close. Business was restricted to the smallest total of some time, but the market betrayed no nervousness and the undertone-was dis tinctly firm., A feature of the trading was the scant H.P,PLy . 8,ork". vn in the Issues In which there is always an active specula- vi ,nter"t- This was especially notice able In the tale afternoon, when prices moved up fractionally. Canadian Pacific moved up more than a point. Union Pa cific made the best showing of the western roads, advancing substsntiallv In response to a steady inquiry which wss reported to come. In part at least, from Paris. Buy ing of the Erie issues, which has been In progress for -everal days, was resumed today and Pennsylvania continued Its unwnwarn movement. The latter stock touched its lowest price since 1907. Traffic officials of western roads were reported as being more optimistic on ac count of the manner in which business la holding up.

Weighty ani mal war in good supply, but bacon and light mixed grade were rather caro. It follow, of course, that rang waa narrow, with top relatively low. Th market aa a whole ruled steady to a nickel lower In pot. Huyer mad aom effort early to cheaeen cost of drove, placing bid 5c off. that wer prompted by liberal recelpta at Chi cago. According to aeiler Idea, an ab. brevlated run locally did not Justify de clines. Resulting trad wa spotted and non too activ. but by 10 o'clock clear. ance wa pracally eomplat. Whipping and speculative orders called far a modest 10 per cent, packer buying al most seventy cars. Demand from th lat ter quarter shewed little discrimination between weight for th region that aa. ortment of weights was limited. Long strings ranged around 36 9a.5 and beat bacon offerings reached 34.06. a nickel leas than Saturday's high price. Extra neavlea moved at 15.86 and lea. ttprenlailv aalea: He. At. Bk. Ft. Ne. Sk.

Light re relpta served to sharpen Inquiry and orders were filled with a fair degree ot freedom from the start. Prices ranslna from steady to a dime higher brought the big bulk of sunplv. but anv advenr was more freaiient on high dressing strings, as good quality and condition received usual preference. About twenty-two doubles of stock ar rived In all. this estimate including onlv four or five loads of sheep. Shorn lamb made up larger shipments, and Mexicans, either wooled or shorn, were relatively srsree. Despite the fact that ta-o conditions might logically be taken as unfavorable to trade In wooled offerings, anvthlng In fleece at all desirable sold to a Very good advantage. A dead wool market, plus a warm weather aversion of animals un shorn, appeared lo he completely Ignored by buyer. Wooled Mexican lambs brought as much as 8v3i. the highest price paid locally for fed stuff In over f h e months. Y ooled western lambs reached S &V Shorn lambs ranged from 85.50 down, a good, heavy kind of natives moving at 84.86. There was hardly enough business in ths sheep branch of the trade to nut values on a quotable basis. Ewes, mostly shorn, were the only arrivals, wooled selling at 34 50 and Shorn grades moving at and near 34 10 Quotations on sheep and lambs: Spring lambs, 36.00(?T9 00; Mexicsn lambs, 3ft. 25ifr. no; western lsmhs, 35 75SM.75; vearllngs.
