MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review.

New York. June 21-Stocks ruled
weak today and Q material decline in
prices was recorded. News from abroad
was anything but favorable and includ-
ed statements that the position taken
by Republicans at st. Louis relative to
the Cuban question was unsatisfactory
to Spain. This was accompanied by
lower prices from London and fairly
large sales by houses with foreign con-
| nections. A renewal Of exports Of gold
to Germany. which was rather unex-
pected reports that the free silverites.

tions would agree upon q candidate for

nomination. A rumor that Consul Gen.
| eral Lee In his report to the chief exec.
utive will recommend that the Cuban
insurgents be granted recognition was
also used against the market and with
some effect. Very little support was
Forthcoming and prices yielded readily.
The decline ranged from u to SX per
cent. nearly every stock on the list

WEATHER CRoP BULLEr1N.-The
average temperature of the week just
ended was slightly below the normal
and was more nearly seasonable than
for many weeks past. The range of
temperature during the first lalf of
the week was not great. The weeks
rainfall was below the normal in the
Ohio valley and in the eastern Pan
Handle, while in the interior more
rainfall was received. In many Sec
tions the total fall during the week
was above the normal. The cooler
weather of the past week has check
ed somewhat the luxuriant growth
forced by the extreme warmth of
the preceding weeks, but has not
prevented healthy, normal growth.
The occurrence of good rains has
further benefited the crops, and has
made prospective yields appear to
be more sure. Reports upon the
wheat crop show that it is not head
ing as well as usual, and that while
what there is of the crop is good, it
is generally thin and short. Corn is
growing rapidly, and in some Sec
tions has been cultivated the second
time. Fewer complaints than usual
have been made Of insects, and less
replanting necessary. Oats, rye, po-
tatoes and gardens continue in good
condition and promise abundant
yields. Grass and meadows have
generally recovered from the drought
and now are looking very we'll. Re-
ports from all sections show that ap-
pies are dropping from the trees, in
some places very badly. The peach
trees are said to promise a good
yield. Other small fruits are good.
A number of correspondents note
that the crops are fully two weeks
in advance of the average season.

Mckinley Couldn't Escape Making q
Memorial Day Address at Canton.

CANTON, O., June 1.-Maj. McKin-
ley delighted his fellow citizens and
charmed his old comrades by making
a Memorial Day speech to them.
The announcement of his intention
to be only "high private" caused
disappointment. Butthe major at
tended the meeting at the Taber-
nacle, which closed the exercises,
and there he was captured, horse,
foot and dragons. The regular pro-
gramme of speech-making and sing
ing was ended, when Chairman Nc
Carthy said quietly, that as Maj.
Mckinley was with them, he would
be expected to address them. In.
stantly the hall rang with cheers and
with calls for Mckinley. The major
could not refuse such an urgent de-
mand. He advanced TO the front Of
the platform, and the audience gave
him a rousing greeting. There were
many school children present,
and they raised their shrill voices
with the rest.
