Especial Telegram to the Globe
New YORK, May THE day in Wall
street, though there was fair business in
several stocks, seemed exceedingly tame
when compared with the scene of twenty
four hours ago. There was some first-class
hammering, nevertheless, done in several
stocks, notably Reading, which touched 353lc,
and was offered at lower figures on sellers
option. Erie second bonds were roughly
handled also, and at one time were Is points
below last evenings close. The stock was
very weak feature during the day. In the
last hour prices were very irregular, with a
special weakness in telegraph. The bears
continued to talk alarmingly about the situa-
ton and did all they could to unsettle mat
ters. 1t takes time to restore confidence at
such period, and there were few who cared
to buy stocks except the shorts, who did con-
siderable in reducing their lines. At the
finish the Erie securieties, on reports that the
road had suffered by the Marine bank, were
exceedingly weak, as were the coalers. The
feeling throughout became very feyerish,
and free selling of stocks continued up to
the close. 1t looks this evening as though
we had not yet seen the worst.
Henry Clews & Co. say: ''The stock mar
ket was steady to-day, in last half hour
false report that another financial institution
was in trouble, also that Mr.. Fink had re-
signed, were freely circulated, and upon
which a determined raid was made on the
general Market which caused weak and
less confident feeling than would otherwise
have occurred. The clearing house manager
reports he can trace no weak spot to any
other New York bank, and if there were any,
there would be strong evidence pointing in
that direction, as in the case of the Marine
bank, which was quite transparent to bank
managers during the past several weeks
This should put at an end apprehensions of
the other troubles, and should give falsity to
any rumors made hereafter rejecting upon
the banks. The bank examiner has been
diligently at work, and reports all banks thus
far visited as being solid, and lie can see no
sign of weakness. This report should prove
reassuring to those who are disposed to take
the darkest views.''

So. There is little or nothing doing in stock
ers and breeders. The demand continues
limited and the supply light, but quiht a
number have accumulated in the hands of
spectators the first day or two. Prices are
not excessively high, but the demand has
almost suddenly ceased. The dressed beef
dealers continue to buy most of the nice
handy steers of 900 and upwards that are
usually taken by breeders.
Hogs were active and prices 5(910c higher.
The spectators opened the market and es-
tablished the advance long before the regular
buyers commenced; in fact the latter were
slow in getting in the market, hence they
had to fill their orders out of speculator'
hands. About all the big packing concerns
except Armour were buying.
The small fresh receipts of sheep were
quickly disposed of to the eager buyers pres
ent, and under the peculiar circumstances, it
may be surmised that the prices paid were
entirely out of proportion to the value. In
fact, the market was wild"
Mccormick Kennett & Day say: ''We
think the teudency-is unmistakably toward
higher prices for wheat. Stocks are being
rapidly depleted. There are no reserves
back in the country to draw upon and the
old crop will all be wanted at home before
harvest. We advise buying July on all soft
spots. Our strongest and best operators are
buying heavily and we advise purchases on
breals''
W. H. Minor 81 Co. say: We cannot see
in ba Sitn nafi tn In ne oh Cra
our opinion in regard to wheat and still be-
lieve in higher prices. We still believe that
corn may be purchased in weak spots.''
Milmine, Bodman & Co. say: "The fact
that the breaks are so quickly recovered in
wheat is pretty good evidence that the mar
ket is badly short, and the further fact also
that the public sentiment of the speculative
world at present leans strongly to the bull
side of the deal, and from this we conclude
short sales, except on the most important
bulges, are dangerous just now in the mar
ket. We would much prefer taking our
chances by buying it on the breaks. There
is no improvement in the export demand
that we hear of, hence we conclude the mar
ket is not yet clearly beyond the point where
another bad break is among the possibilities
ere we strike point where we will get clear
of our large surplus"
Crosby u Co. say: "Our crowd is fairly
bullish and trades very nervously, which
may hold the market for day or two, but
the situation is not bullish, and the tendency
will be governed by lack of export demand
and bull news"

ETIENNE DESNOYER'S ESTATE.
lsaie DesnOyer Claims to be His Le-

And is Trying to Find Out Why He Does Not
Inherit His Fathers Property.
Especial Telegram to the Globe


MONTREAL, May IA remarkable suit is
now being tried before United States court
commission at st. Philippe, village a few
miles west of here. In 1884, Etienne Des-
noyer, son of man residing in St. Philippe,
emlgrated to the eastern states, and after re-
naming there few years gravitated to the
west, n aking his home at st. Paul on 200
acres of land which he purchased. The es-
tate became valuable, and at the time of his
death, months ago, he had realized 5000, 900
from the sale of only portion of it, De-
ceased had three sisters living with him and
they disposed of the balance of the land for

There was no dispute raised as to their I'll
tie to the inheritance until few months ago,
when Isaie Desnoyer arrived at st. Philippe
from Nebraska after twenty-six years. ab-
sence, and Immediately had an action en-
tered in st. Paul to recover the estate from
the parties in possession on the ground that
he is the son and heir of the late Etienne
Desnoyer. His statement regarding his his
tory is to the effect that his alleged father
married in Troy in 1886, and that his wife

child's birth. The father sent his child to a
relative in st. Philippe named Antoine Des-
noyer to be brought up. After the child ar
rived the latter had him baptized by the par
ish as his own offspring.
The boy grew up and was always known as
Antoine's son. When he was seventeen
years of age Etienne Desnoyer wrote from
st. Paul for the lad to be sent to him. He
went there, remained five years, and then
struck out for Nebraska on his own account
A large number of local witnesses have
given their evidence, but under the belief
that the claimant is AEtoine's son. The
baptismal register, as kept by the priest, who
is now dead, was produced, and it is therein
stated that Isaie Desnoyer was the lawful
issue of Antoine and Marie Desnoyer, his
wife. This old couple, who brought up the
claimant, are alive still, but their mental
powers are so impaired by age that they are
incapacitated from giving evidence.
