13, And Desire to Notify All to Whom It May Concern: That a certain company recently organized offering to sell Prisms have no right to manufacture an infringing product; that they have been notified to desist from such manufacture; that they have been notified that our lawyers were preparing the necessary legal papers to bring suit against them, and that we have warned them that their customers were liable for damages. Under the United States statutes, any one manufacturing, selling, buying or using an infringing device is liable to an injunction and-damages. Therefore this Company, in order to protect its rights, desires to notify the public, who perhaps up to this time have had no knowledge of our legal rights in this matter, that we will institute suits against users of such infringing devices, as well as against those who sell them, and will hold all to full liability.

Special Attention Given to Philadelphia Securities. I WEAKENED TOWARDS THE CLOSE On the Reaction Trading Became Very-Dull, Saturday's Business Being the Lightest la Volume Since Early Last October Unfavorable Crop Rumors the One Effective Bear Card. Last week's New York market in no material way reflected the seuil-panicky conditions which existed at the close of the previous week. On the contrary, prices displayed considerable buoyancy, on Monday and Tuesday, and strength was also shown on Wednesday, but on Thursday there wan a slight reaction, and it became more pronounced on Friday. On Saturday the movement was irregular, rallies and reactions alternating In a manner that indicated the complete control of the situation by the professional element At the close, however, substantial net gains for the week were reflected.

Indeed, the average close of prices was about the same as on Friday, May 12, thus recording a practically complete recovery from the senseless break of the following day. During the first half of last week, the period of recovery in the market, trading was quite active, but on the subsequent reaction the dealings fell off materially, Saturday's transactions being the smallest of any half day's session since early last October. The volume of business for the week was also light, aggregating only 3,048,573 shares-fully 2,000,000 shares less than the preceding week. This Is taken as an Indication that liquidation by weak holders of stocks has pretty well run Its course, the climax culminating with the sacrifices made on Saturday a week ago, following the death of Ex-Governor Flower. Of last week's total sales 1,721,142 shares over one-half were furnished by twelve stocks, leaving 1,327,232 shares as the total of the other 191 properties in Which there were dealings.

Here are the twelve: Shares Net sold. Changes. Brooklyn Rapid Transit 334.619 AdT-' ft Sugar 277.127 7 Atchison preferred 224,355 2' Federal Steel 5V People's Gaa, Chicago 131,658 7 Southern Pacific 115.835 4 Manhattan HO. '40 St Paul 102.584 1 Burlington W.J87 Am. Steel and Wire 67.204 2 Continental Tobacco Wi American Tobacco 55,885 7' That the market would rally from the depression of the preceding week, and espe.

dally after the developments which followed the death of Mr. Flower, was a foregone conclusion. It was necessary for it to do so, for the Isrge Interests had more to lose by allowing the market to become demoralized than the smaller fry, who, as a matter of fact, had little, if anything, left to lose. It was necessary to give stability to the market If for no other reason than the successful financing of some of the biggest deals yet made, Including the Amalgamated Copper Company, the new Carnegie Steel Company, and a number of others which have as yet been given little prominence. The interests behind these new companies could not, even had they been so Inclined, allow the market to become demoralized, and consequently they went to the support of the general list.

The Indisposition of the general public to buy stocks and the tendency to reduce long holdings, however, were also no less marked. London, though at first dls. posed to acquire stocks at the concessions, afterwards turned a seller and was credited with disposing-of considerable holdings of Baltimore and Ohio securities and of Southern Pacific when they exhibited a rising disposition. The marked strength of the bond market and the advance of government bond values, together with the relative steadiness of the dividend-paying stock list, were taken into account by the market, but on the other hand the Granger shares seemed heavy a fact attributed to the continuance of unfavorable crop rumors. The support, which has already been described, was in the earlier part of the week largely concentrated In the Flower stocks and the Industrials.

Sugar was made active and strong again, and further recoveries scored in People's Gas, Federal Steel, Brooklyn Rapid Transit and their companions. The decision of Governor Roosevelt to call an extra session of the New York Legislature for the purpose of amending the Ford franchise tax bill was auother Incident having a favorable effect on speculative sentiment early in the week, but later it was made a bear card, though no one seems to exactly understani why. As a matter of fact. Wall street rather than the corporations affected by this bill is concerned about the measure that is, the bear portion of Wall street is. As an.

other matter of fact, the Interested corporations are quite anxious to have the bill in Its present shape signed by Governor Roosevelt. There are more reasons than one for their so desiring, but one of these reasons is their belief that the measure, in its present shape, Is unconstitutional, and that It will be so declared by the courts before which its constitutionality will be tested in case it becomes a law. The amendments which are proposed will not affect the legal points at Issue in any material way; but It Is still an open question whether or not those, amendments can be adopted. Should they not be, however, the bill will be signed and, to use the expression of one prominent corporation attorney, "We will have the Gov. ernor Just where we want him in this matter." It Is a big political game which Is be.

lng played with this bill, and the prediction Is made that whatever the results the corporations Interested will come out a winner. At the same time It is probable the bill will be a factor In the speculative situation, so far as the professional traders are concerned, until Its fate shall have been settled by the special session of the New York Leg. islature, which convenes to-day. It is not exactly a bear card that, during the latter half of last week, prices sagged off some. That the Interests which had effected the recovery from the preceding week withdrew their support to a very material extent Is probably true; but It was wholly because they felt that such support was no longer necessary, otherwise they would have continued buying stocks.

But it Is not their present tactics to create a boom In the market; on the contrary, they are opposed to such a movement Just now. They are well aware that scores of now schemes, new combinations and consolidations are ready to be floated, and It Is not their purpose to allow this until after their own similar plans have been carried out. Their argument is that, with a dull, unsat. lsfactory market, the little schemers will be forced to hold back. Conditions favor them at the moment, for the public shows no Inclination to start a stock market boom, and a new bull leader to take the place of tbo late Ex-Governor Flower has not yet be-n unearthed.

Just how long the market run be held in restraint is problematical; but traders generally are looking for Improvement either In June or July, for these two months are two of the heaviest dlsbursc- UNLIGHT FOR ment periods of the year, months which will witness the payment of at least 000,000 In Interest and dividends, uenerai conditions continuing favorable In the mean time, It Is the expectation that the bulk of this money will seek reinvestment In trie, stock market, and that this demand ought to mean a good, active, higher market.

There lire many, however, who ride astride that know nothing about riding except to keep their 6eats or hold on In some way, and in consequence of this awkward mess they lose most of the pleasure to be derived. The local tracks were all well patronized yesterday and many fast miles were stepped, although the wind was very strong for phonomenal work. Out Belmont way there was a large delegation present and the sheds were all taken early In the morn, lng. Two double teams were sent fast miles. Jacob Justice's pair was the first of the teams out.

He had Jacksonlan and Ottingor hooked to a bike wagon and sent tbem the first quarter In 3614, the half in 1.12, and finished under the wire in 2.26 If the wind had not been so strong coming up tho stretch he would have gone the mile in about 2.21. Henry Barnett drove to the track behind Harry B. and Rattler. His trainer, Alex ander Meiers, then sent the pair two miles. The first heat was negotiated In 2.36 and the last In 2.35, He afterwards said that he could have cut three more seconds off the last heat If he had driven for it.

Frank Jackson sent the bay mare Nettie Jefferson a half mile in 1.04. Several of the North Penn Trotting Association members also stepped their horses a few heats. Next week will be a busy one at this track for the trainers, as they are getting ready for the circuit races. A few will ship to Baltimore to-day. but the majority Intend waitiDg for the Belmont races before starting.

The trainers will give a matinee on Satur: day next. There will be three classes, a 2.20, 2.25 and 2.35.

James Forbes Jogged Foxlc around the track In 2.37. Several Important changes have been made In the classification of the North Penn entries since the meeting, owing to a complaint being made about fast horses being put In slow classes. J. J. Winkler's Little Bickley and Erz Root's Bellevue were named to start in the number three, or 2.45 class, but now they have been changed to the number two, or 2.30 class.

Elsie Dewey was named to start In the 2.45 class, but has been classed to start in the free-for-all. This change gives them all a fair chance to win In their respective classes on Thursday at Belmont. To-Day's Entries at 'Newport. First race, six furlongs, 3-year-ol1s and up- wards Ethel Davis.
