What nov appears 10 be most peculiar
nnd was that made yesterday afternoon by
two men who we're working on Winthrop
hill. In the gutter amongst the leaves they
found many bits Of paper money, Most OF
the fragments indicated that they had been
torn from the old greenback scrip and bore
the figures rs cents, 10 cents. etc. Pieces
Of bills Of larger denominations were also
found. among them there being fragments
Of q $40 bill, 81 bill and other
denominations not known. Probsbly this
snd may be explained in some other way
than that . bold robbery had been committed
and the robbef had thus torn up the money
to rid himself Of all suspicion Robbers
generally fail to DO such things and the
side Of . public street would indeed DO
bad place in which to try to conceal evi'
dence. However, the matter is mystery
to the men VII, found the pieces. and tbs
bold coun.erfei,er, robber or honest oitiz n
Who knows about them may afford pleasure
by making the simple explanation Of how
they came there.

buoyant. These markets finally affected
wheat enough to frighten the small shorts
into evening up their open trades before
leaving the board for the day. This was the
real cause of the closing bulge. The. pre-,
vious bullish influences were the liberal
clearings from the seaboard, reports of in
sect damage and the report that foreigners
had advanced their bids on -four.
July wheat opened at 81 00@1 O0L against
81 OO% at the close yesterday, touched 81 OOss,
sold Of to 99ssc, ranged for a long time be-
corn bulged to 81 COZ, but sagged off to
81 OOl[ at the close. The offerings were quite
large at the start, and some Of the large
bear traders were again at work to hold
down prices, but at each decline there were
indications of covering by shorts.
Corn after period of dullness showed
strength. The shorts were very anxious and
found supplies very scarce. The bulls were
holding their grain because to-day's receipts
were much less than were expected, also as
the estimates for tomorrow were very light
and because of frosts in Nebraska and Iowa.
July opened at 51s@415c, closing at 541sc.
Oats were governed in their fuctuations
by corn holders who weren't inclined to sell
while buyers were anxious. The result was
an advance from the opening at 4214-4S14 to
45c, closing at 45lc.
After a dull period early, a large business
was transacted in provisions. Country
traders were doing little, but local traders
were changing great deal of near contracts
to the deferred futures.
The fluctuations during the session were
confined to narrow range, the advance In
corn imparting some strength to the market
near the close. The July option shows the
following advances compared with yester-
days final figures: Pork; 714c; lard, &c; ribs,

Grain. Flour and Feed.

There was one sale on call at the Grain
Exchange, namely car of feeding hay, &c.
Receipts as bulletined, A cars, of which %
cars were by Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St.
Louis Railway, as follows: u cars Of corn,
of oats, of hay, of wheat. By fittsburg,
Ft. Wayne and Chicago, 4 of oats, of hay, 2
offiour. BY Pittsburg and Lake Erie, car of
corn, of oats, of bran, 2 of hay, Of straw,
OF malt, of wheat, of flour. By Balti-
more and Ohio, car of ear corn. By Pittsburg
and western, car of feed, OF hay. Cereals
are shade higher in Chicago, but no up
plenty of sellers, but buyers are few, and
the few are exceedingly cautious, having re-
ceived some very expensive lessons in the
past few weeks. Corn is now lSc per bushel
below the highest point reached last month.
Oats are not less than 10c per bushel below
their highest point. The bulls who operated
in the faith that July corn would approach
the dollar line are by no means happy over
the present outlook. The only question now
before them is as to the amount of their
losses, as any prospect of gains long since
been increased 1000 900 bushels and oats 500,-
600 bushels in the past week or two. This
increase has been caused by the necessity to
I'LL May contracts. Rye seems to be the only
article in cereal linesthat holds up to old
prices. In this line markets are firm with
an upward tendency.

trio Neglected.
While a fair business was transacted in
local stocks yesterday, there was nothing
inspiring in the market. London was a
little better and New York was dull and
about steady. Home buyers were in a con-
servative mood, and while ready to pick up
cheap stuff, declined in most cases to pay
full prices.
Philadelphia Gas was doomed a little on
report of new well in Washington county,
but information concerning it was very
meager. IL may be stated in this connection
that depression in the stock of this company
has always turned more on management
than supply, and any reform in the conduct
of the company's affairs has, as rule, been
promptly followed by higher prices for the
stock Other strong features were Wheeling
Gas, Airbrake, Underground Cable, Hidalgo
and Luster. Natural Gas of West Virginia
Joined the active list after long retire
ment.
Dealings in the fractions were limited to
Manchester, but they were about as stiff as
ever and were not pressed for sale. An at
tempt was made to bear Duquesne on q
report that the motors were too weak for
the big cars. Officials replied that the road
would be put in good shape as fast as pos
sible, but that 1t would take q month, or
perhaps longer, to fully test the motors. If
by that time they fafi to come up to the re-
quirements, others win be substituted. The
stock was offered at les<; Manchester was
offered at 3sl5, with 37X bid, and Birming-
ham at p, with 2lL bid.
Electric was handled quite gingerly. In
fect, there was no demand for it, and 1t fin

THE DAY IN WALL STREET.
DULLNESS CHARACTERIZED ALL THE
WAY FROM START TO FINISH.

A Dropping Tendency Caused by Foreign
Operations-Th Old Order After All Is
Looked Upon by Foreign Creditors as a
Good Thing.
NEW YORK, May 26.-The stock market to-
day, outside half-dozen different transac-
tions in stocks, was dull and utterly devoid
of feature, while displaying dropping ten
dency, without more than Insignificant
changes in quotations. The excessive ship
ments of gold are now having their legiti-
mate effect in the difference of the public,
which grows out of the apprehensions in re-
gard to the futures of the money market.
The foreign operations were on. the same
limited scale as usual of late and are attrib-
uted entirely to arbitrage operations, but
there was buying for that act while the
strength in the exchange acted as a deter
rent upon buying in general The old order
is looked upon once more as legiti-
mate, being the result of the settlement Of
commercial credits and not as the result Of
extraordinary demand which we have been
meeting of late. This is more favorable but
operators were holding off until the actual
future conditions are known. The opera
tons in stocks to-day were Insignificant out
side of q few shares, and while the opening
was generally lower and tendency during
the forenoon was downward, there were no
material losses incurred, and later the small
ness of the export movement caused some
movement which practically recovered the
losses, and a few stocks like Missouri Pacific,
Wheeling and Lake Erie, St. Paul and Union
Pacific caused a slight advance for the day.
The only marked upward movement, how
