in the cigar factory. Having large lot of
cigars on hand they have shut down until
they can reduce their stock. 1t will be but

Our band for the first time since its organ
ization makes 1t known that it desires to Sc,
cure engagements during the summer to
furnish music for picnics, festivals, excur-
sions, etc. We arc prepared to say for
them, that they are better organized than
they have ever been; the pieces are better
placed and there is more musical talent in
the band than it has ever before been able to
boast. 1t is unquestlonably band of mu
slcians; they have practised regularly and
carefully during the past winter and they ean
play. They need not fear to go away from
home for they will meet few superiors. We
say this because it is true and due them and
if they are engaged, others will agree with
US.

Cropley & Co., Of this city, say:
Speculation on Wall street has resolved
itself into sort OF tug Of war between the
two professional elements, and the supply
OF lambs being utterly exhausted, the bulls
and bears are living sort of dog-eat-dog
existence, with an occasional supply Of
fresh meat. When the large operators
form pools in order to protect their own
interests or upset .the plans Of ri val fac
tions, the man who builds his expectations
on the intrinsic merits Of a railroad prop
erty, the earnings of the road, the possibi-
tiles OF traffic, aud the value of dividends
is more likely to founder in the sea of
speculation than he who anticipates
good news and discounts bad. The great
labor problem, which is as yet in its In
fancy, has, In its late unsuccessful struggle
against capital and monopoly, simply
proven that great ends might be attained
under proper leadership and more thorough
organization. Strikes In which anarchism
and socialism are in any way recognized
can never succeed. But organized strikes,

but, like the old fable.of Humpty Dumpty,
1t is great question whether, when the top
OF the wall Is reached and the subsequent
fall verified, all the kings horses and
all the kings men can put the market
up again. In order to secure genuine bull

THE MARKETS.
Short Interest to Give support Against
an Expected Realization of Profits.


New YoRK, May 2s.-Most Of the traders
on the street are in favor OF higher prices,
but there is also a general desire to see a
material reaction, as the course Of prices
has been steadily upward for the past two
weeks, almost without q break, but the
buying has been so good that the rise was
continued this morning, Notwithstanding
the efforts OF certain operators for q re-
action.
There was little news to-day to affect
values, but the early advices from the west
this morning contained news OF threatened
trouble in the northwest. This was fol-
lowed by the engagement Of S750,000 more
gold for export. These facts, coupled With
the desire OF many traders to anticipate the
usual realizing price to u holiday, started n
selling movement before noon. This &C.
casionod considerable realizing, and later
In the afternoon sales for the short account,
and IL is considered tonight probable that
the short interest created will support the
market to-morrow,against the expected real
izatIon Of profits.
The market opened steady this morning,
and in the early dealings was somewhat
feverish, with heavy tone. This, however,
disappeared after the first fifteen minutes,
when the market became strong through
out, especially the coal stocks. The rise
eliminated, however, at about IL q. M,
and prices moved of slowly, the market
becoming quieter until after o'clock, when
there was considerable increase In activity
and the downward movement was accelera-
ted. Prices continued to fall until the close
Of the board and final prices arc at or near
the lowest figures Of the day. Tho total
