of more damage to wheat from heat be-

same week last year. New York cleared
10000 blu of wheat and 5000 bbls of

export business. There was renewed
effort on the part of the bulls in wheat
before the close. The pit became very
animated, and prices went to the high

frightened when the reports began to
circulate about the extremity of the

feared would have descened on Mon

crop already done and further disaster

ruled the throng in their deal

in oats as the result of heavy
covering by the shorts. The opening
prices were from 14c to 10 higher,

ling exchange quiet and steady at $4.85
for sixty-day bills and $4.SSa for de-
mand. The stock market to-day was
tame and an unintereSting affair from
beginning to end, and the final changes
are entirely insignificant, except in
Sugar refneries and Citizens Gas, which
stocks furnish no reason for their move
ments. The traders were inclined to
sell stocks upon the expectation that
the bank statement would show ma
terial loss, as it was known that
during the early portion of the week
the subtreasury had taken about
s2.00O,OOO out Of the banks. The
heavy payments for bonds redeemed.
most of which came to New York, did
not show in any way up to last night.
The subtreasury was debtor at the
clearing house to-day, however, over
$6.O0O,O00. Notwithstanding this disp0-
sition there was very little disposition
to trade for either side of the account,
and the business done was of the hand
to mouth order except in Sugar refner-
les in the last hour. An attack was
made upon it which forced It's price off
to 76% against 775s last evening. A
partial recovery followed, but it closed
at close to the lowest price. Citizens
Gas continued its upward movement,
but rose less than l per cent. There
was some pressure in New Eng
land, and 1t touched the lowest
price of the week. but closed
only slightly lower than last evening.
The general list showed the heaviness
of last night at the opening, but failed
to move more than Is for long time,
and while the tone continued heavy
there was no other movement than those
mentioned. The close was rather heavy
at shade under first prices. Sugar is

tremely dull and furnished no feature
whatever, prices remaining at the same
dead level, while only few issues were
traded In. Government bonds have
been dull and steady. State bonds have
been dull and featureless. The exports
of specie from the port Of New York
last week amounted to $2.378,3 61. of
which 1929, $50 was in gold and 81, 49,

the week amounted to $685.. 1884, 1874 Of which
$19S, 727 was in gold and $50, 10Y silver.
The Post says: Notwithstanding the
complete stagnation in the stock market
at present. the logic of the present con-
ditions is in favor of higher prices for
all dividend-paying investments. There
can be no doubt that the issue of new
and additional treasury notes for the
purchase of silver bullion to be coined
will add at least $50. OOO, 600 to the cir
culating medium of the country within
the next year. and this will be an in

form of order corresponds in size to
that of bank drafts and checks, and, as
will be noticed, the name of the payee,

ter now appear on the face of the order.
The exact date of issue is now written
on the face of the order, instead of the
month of issue, which on the old form
was indicated by separation OF dates
on right hand margin. Provision has
been made for inserting the amount in
the money of foreign countries when
orders are drawn payable in Europe,
thus insuring payment of full value OF
orders.
The receipt given purchasers of Or

lent for filing. No change has been
made in the marginal figures indicating
exact value of order. This feature of
the company's orders deserves special
mention, since it is unlike the usual
form of drafts, checks, pOstoifice orders,
and the orders of some of the other eX-
press companies, none of which afford
absolute protection against raising or
counterfeiting. The company is fully

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
A Little Blind Boy and His Mouth
HarmOnicOn.

HaFmOnIcOn.
New York Times.
An incident of peculiarly touching
character occurred yesterday in one of
the elevated railroad trains that brought
tears to the eyes of the passengers. The
train had just left One Hundred and
Twenty-fifth street when the passen-
gers saw entering the car little boy
about six years old, being half-pushed
and half-carrled by an older boy, evil
IDENTIFY his brother. At the first glance
it was seen that the little fellow was
blind, and his eyelidS had almost grown
together, He had a pale, wan face, but
was smiling. A quick look of sympathy
passed over the face of the passengers,
and an old gray-haired gentleman got
up and gave the seat to the two. The
big brother" who was about eleven
years old, tenderly lifted up the little
blind boy and placed him on his knee.
Flows that?" he asked.

This puzzled some of the passengers,
and several turned to see what the
child ment. But the ''big brother
knew, and Immediately drew out a
small mouth harmonica and placed it in
the little fellows hands. The little fel.
low took the instrument into his thin
hands, ran it across his lips, and began
to play softly Nearer, My God. to

old gentleman who had given up his
seat, and as the little fellow played on,

The express money order system
which has become so popular through
out the country was introduced by the
American Express Company.
1t is now eight years since the com
pany inaugurated a system of money
orders so far-reaching and so simple, as
well as safe, that it at ouce commanded
the liberal support of every firm, cor
poration, publisher or individual who
took the trouble to examine into its
workings. Since its Inauguration,
March 4. 1882, the sale of orders has
reached tie enormous sum of over
500, 900.
With an Unprecedented growth in
the business from year to year, the
company has kept pace with the wants
of the public by improving and simpli-
flying its system as occasion required,

excitement, caused by covering and real1z-

said crops are backward in the United

it was admitted that with good
weather from now forward har-

LATEST FASHION NOTES.
Odd Things Here and There t,
TicLIo Ilamiptua Eanov

Odd Things Here and There to
Tickle Feminine Fancy.
Refers and blazer jackets are made
In silk, serge or flannel, and are the
favorites for outdoor wraps.
White alpaca braid, the quite narrow
or wide Hercules braid, is favorite
trimming for children's fancy dresses.
In garments for rainy days those of
striped serge surface in Russian cir
cular and Lonsdale shape take the lead.
If you wish something in outdoor
wraps exceptionally pretty get flannel
REFER with gold or pearl buttons.
Ladies' shirts are in greater variety
as the demand increases. Dotted mus
lin, percale and linen are used in neg
Ege attire.
Striped whipcord suiting are just the
thing for travelling. There are many
designs in stripes and great variety of
colorings.
Flannel dresses are the most worn by
young girls. Some are in two colors in
the Skirt-red Oh blue, or blue and
white alternately.
A sailor hat in dark blue straw, with
band of blue ribbon dotted with white,
sets off boating dress of dark blue
flannel with small white dot.
Silk stockings are worn this season of
the same hue as the dress. They are
very comfortable. Plain black add to
a shapely ankle, but stripes detract
from it.
Vieux rose broche and forget-me-not
silk is one of the many beautiful COM
binations that will be displayed on the
hotel piazzas along the beach next
month.
Close fitting collars are still fashion
able for all tailor-made suits, but more
comfort will be found during the sum-
mer in necks cut low enough to expose
the throat.
Black lace is, as always. the most
stylish and appropriate dress for mid
dle-aged lady. 1t has rich beauty that
does not suggest overdressing or affecta-
ton of youthfulness.
Ginghams this season excel all pre-
vious offerings in finish and colorings.
They are SO fine that it is difficult to dis
tinguish them from summer silk. They
come in StriDes. cheeks. and Dlaids.
