There was no particular trend to today's stock market. There was not, in fact, any thing which even could be called a drift, so far as any uniform move ment of prices was concerned. On the contrary, those stocks which did move, and they were not many, did sc in an altogether independent man ner and at the dictate of develop i:jits which had bearing on the par ticular issues involved, and were not general in character. The general influences, Which were rather more numerous than on several previous days, seemed to retard market activ ity instead of inspiring it. The reports from the Chicago con vention, both those in the news dis patches and those privately received, were somewhat more assuring. The financial community, which had been living in more or less fear of the socalled radical element, took heart at what it heard and professed Lindifference at the outcome of the balloting-later in the week. Never theless, it was notable that new commitments were entered into hesi tatingly when they were assumed at all, and there still is reason for be lieving that the reports from Chicago have not lost all of their interest to Wall Street. Rail Stocks Unsettled. A reduction In the dividend of both the common and preferred stocks of the Chicago & Northwestern had a disconcert ing influence on their shares and also tended to unsettle the shares of some of the other roads operating In the Chicago & Northern territory. Northwestern com mon at one time was down more than 10 points on the day, but it regained a little of this loss before closing and the other railroads which had gone off In sympathy all came about steady. Call money was steady. The closing was 8 per cent and there did not appear to be any marked scarcity of funds, nor waa there any unusual ag gressive demand. This market has been entirely out of harmony with the rest of the money market as well as with the stock market. Two or three weeks ago there was quite an accumulation of Idle money In the banks here and despite gen eral tightness In money call rates eased off. Now apparently, some of the Idle money is finding employment else where and the callate Is restricting the shift. Silver Prlcea Break. There was another bad break in allver prices, the local quotation falling over 10 cents on the ounce, while the London quotation, which dominates ours, was down 6 pence. The same lnfluenoe which caused Vhe break on Monday were again at work. With the fall In silver, Chinese exchange rates again declined. European exchanges on the other hand were Bome what more steady. Sterling nearly 2 cents and French francs were slightly higher than on the previous day. .... The statement of the British trad for May was published and showed further improvement. The total of exports, 139, 679.000 pounds, which Includes re-export, was the largest thus far noted, and the excess of Imports over exports, which wa down to 26,799,000, wa the smallest for months since the signing of the armistice. Incidentally the imports at 166.378,000 pounds were the smallest since thoe of November, last. This display I signifi cant and If the Improvement Is contin ued, as It probably will be, there may be some doubt as to whether Great Britain will have to send us trie great amount of gold In settlement of the ' Anglo-French maturity, which some have been predicting. The June crop report on wheat was unfavorable. Winter wheat has deterior ated 9-10 on 1 per cent In one month and tho estimates of yield for both winter and spring wheat, placed at 781,000,000 bushels, Is smaller than most had ex pected, and compare with a harvest last year of 940,987,000 bushels.

Psychopathic Ward In State School Is Urged by Civic Body ; Endorsement . of the Nebraska Medical society's efforts to have a psychopathic hospital established in Connection with the college of medi cine of the State University at Omaha was extended yesterday by the executive committee : of .the Omaha Chamber of Commerce. According to members of the committee such a hospital would be of great benefit to the state in the treatment of cases of mental and nervous derangements that are now sent to asylums. A large number of patients are sent to state institutions yearly, it is believed, when they could be better cared for at a strictly psy chopathic hospital. The establishment of such an in stitution has been favored by the medical society for some time. The Chamber of Commerce plans to back an effort in the coming session of the legislature to have the hospital authorized. . ., Before ending its session yester day the committee endorsed . the county agricultural agent idea,' and went on record as. favoring the in stallation of agents in every county in the state. . Neighborhood Row, Over Pdplar Trees Is Aired in City Council ' "Woodman, spare that tree!" Thus spoke Benjamin S. Baker, 102 South Thirty-eighth street, when he arose ,. yesterday morning and found his neighbor, Peter F. Peter sen, 101 South Thirty-eighth ave nue, cutting down his pet poplar trees. But Mr. Petesen refused to heed, so Mr. Baker called police, according to his story in council meeting yesterday. Worse ' still, the police did not arrive until at least half of the trees were down, Mr. Baker said. But the city council offered Mr. Baker little sympathy. Ten years ago Mr. Baker had imported the trees, and planted them in the cen ter of his 20-foot alley to enhance the beauty of his property, he said. Mr. Baker recently protested against a high fence erected by Mr. Peter sen, stating that jt spoiled the ap pearance of his property. The coun cil ordered the fence removed. Monday Mr. Petersen appeared before the council, telling them the trees must also come down. The council took no action on the mat ter then, and adjourned again yes terday without committing itself on the matter. , For Big Profits.
