Death of Ensraver Cooper.

David M. Cooper, one of the best-known
engravers in the city, died yesterday even
ing at 10 o'clock. Mr.. Cooper has been In the
bureau of engraving and printing ever
since 1862, when the bureau was then in
its infancy, and since then he has con-
tinued steadily at his occupation as an
engraver, being counted as one of the best
letter engravers there was in the business.
His Judgment was also excellent on all
sorts and forms of engraving work, and.
although the position was not designated
as such, still he was looked upon in the
bureau as being second in charge Of the
engraving division, whenever the chief
was away Mr.. Cooper was always selected
to take charge of affairs Notwithstanding
his seventy-nine years. Mr.. Cooper was
vigorous and quick in his movements and
all that he undertook, and was in attend
ance at the bureau the 28th of May. His
eo-Iaborers at that place were surprised
this morning beyond all expression when
they heard of mis- decease. A few weeks
ago Mr.. Cooper had a slight attack of
vertigo, and it is thought that maybe the
attack again seized on him, and before as
sistance could be summoned he had sue
cumbed to It's effects. Mr.. Cooper was
we'll known outside of the department
where he was employed, and was univer-
sally liked by every one with whom he was
acquainted. He leaves one grown daughter.

FINANCE AND TRADE
Condition Of the Crops Continues to
Absorb Attention.
LONDON EXPECTED TO Be 4 BUYER
Sugar the Feature of the Industrial
List.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, May 31.-Opening prices for
active stocks were generally strong and,
with few exceptions. were not materially
changed by the narrow room trading which
made up the days business. The Grangers
were moderately active at fractional ad-
vances from Wednesdays closing. but
there was little new business attracted to
this group. The condition Of the crops in
the west continues to absorb attention, and
contradictory advices from that section are
responsible for considerable difference of
opinion among traders.
1t is thought, however, that London will
come into our market as a purchaser next
week. and that prices will respond easily to
the demand The temporary absence of any
public demand for stocks Is the most sig
nificant menace to values the present situa-
ton reflects. If at the conclusion of the
holiday season in London local sentiment
remains as 1T now is, buliish by preference,
the upward movement will probably be i'm
mediately resumed. 1t Is probable, how
titled with the activity participate at all in
the next movement, 1t will be within more
restricted limits, as the low-priced stocks
are. for the moment in better favor than
those of more merit which command high
er prices.
Manhattan was a feature of the day on
selling attributed to holders Of long stock
who fear the outcome Of surface competi-
ton.
Erie sold down " per cent on a fair
volume of business, in which the room
element were conspicuous.
Pacific Mail sold up ON good buying Of
the character noted several days ago. Ten
Eessee Coal and Iron also advanced on
early trading, as the result Of purchases
by interests more or less closely identified
with the management
Sugar was active during the first hour on
buying by a broker credited with manip-
ulating the original advance in this prop
erty. Around lis the stock was freely SUP
piled, and the price reacted somewhat. but
was given good support whenever neces-
sary.
The balance of the Industrial list was dull
with the exception of General Electric,
rumors of revival of negotiations with
the Westinghouse people attracting some
buying for both accounts.
The market for sterling and continental
bills was steady at slightly improved rates
growing out of an increased demand from
remitters. The supply of commercial bills
continues small, and all offerings against
the recent bond sales in London are quick
ly absorbed. The weeks transactions at
the subtreasury were unimportant as the
cash holdings Of the banks have not been
affected thereby.
The interior currency movement, not
withstanding the holiday yesterday, will
probably reflect a gain of nearly s., 600, 600
to the local banks.
The trading of the last hour was dull
and unchanged in character. Prices were
steady under a moderate demand from
the room and closed at small fractional
gains.
