The slock mar ket boom wulch followed tho .Htaudanl Oil decision continued today. A nlljcht halt followed tho opening, ns tho result of profit taking, but tho demand exceed ed Lie supply, tho offerings wero soon absorbed ami prices advanced again. Tho Industrial stockn and railroad shares generally gained. On tho curb Standard Oil was threo points above yestorday'a Close. Tho market closed strong and active. Itonds were firm. American Tabncco advanced on tho curb. It was rumored that tobacco offi cials hud completed arrangements for re-organlzatlon If the supremo court should tlecldo against the company May 29, when Its decision Ik expected to bo handed down. Standard Oil on the vurb ndvanced from 665 to 67S. WASHINGTON. D. C. May 17. Gov ernment prosecutions of the steel, beef, bathtub, electric, coal, paper, glass, steamship nnd sugar trusts. In the opin ion of lawyers here today, are all likely to ! gravely affected by tho supremo court's Standard Oil decision. It prac tically doublet the prosecution's work in every case that the restraint of trado caused by their combinations must bo proved unreasonable. For this reason It Is very probablo that the proceedings of the government against one of the smaller dusts will bo abandoned. In the beef trust proceeding" especially the "unreasonable" feature of tho su preme court's decision wilt bo tested. The beef trust attorneys recently filed a demurrer to the Indictment round against J Ogi'en Armour and ton other packers for conspiracy which was built almost entirety around tho "unreason ableness" of the governments contention ns to their monopoly of tho beef trado. A temporary iiistmlnlng order was Issued by Judge J. It. Nell this morning on complaint filed by C. K. Pierce of this city, stopping John M. Root from continuing with tho work of laying ti new cement walk about tho Sparta block on the Seventh street side. Mr. Pierce claims that a 12-foot walk, which Mr. Hoot was putting In. Is too wide for tho street ut that place, leav ing only 40 feet between curbs. Mr. Hoot, on tho other hand, states that he has already given four feet of his prop erty to tho city nnd Is entitled to tho sidewalk, which Is two feet narrower than others In front of business proper' ty. Tho case will bo heard Friday or Sat' urday. CHICAGO. III.. May 17. Ills action resulting. It Is said, from tho United States supremo court's decision In tho Standard Oil case. Federal Judgo Car penter today guvo attorneys for J. Og den Armour and 10 other puckers In dicted for conspiracy one. week In which to file n petition for u rehearing of ar guments on their demurrer lo thulndlct ments. Tho rehearing Is definitely demanded by the packers on tho ground that tho Standard Oil decision regarding "rea sonable restraint of trade covers their cases and assures them Immunity. They declare the government has not shown that the restraint of tho packers on tho meat trade Is unreasonable.
