ON CHANGE
Business Transacted and Prices Paid at Home
oud Abroad

NEW YORK. June 2.-Dullness and de-
clining movement of prices were the char
acteristics of today's stock market So far
as the extent of business was concerned
only two stocks, Sugar and st. Paul de-
served comment. The speculation reflected
disappointment over the short-lived bull
1sh sentiment on Americans in London and
manipulation for a fall by prominent in
dustrial inside interests. The trading was
almost exclusively professional and in a
number of instances the losses scored were
material. Liquidation was apparent in
spots. Sugar and the grangers were de-
pressed 1@1h per cent. with the pressure
most marked in the final dealings. The
news of the day bearing upon the specula-
tion was meager. Foreign operators were
moderate sellers Of the internationals and
an easier market for foreign exchange was
offset by a reported advance in the bid
price for American gold by German bank
ers. Closing was at the lowest. Bonds
ruled heavy with pronounced declines in
Atchison adjustment fours; Oregon I'm
and Brooklyn Elevated firsts. The sales
were $685. 00O Silver certificates displayed

BOSTON WOOL MARKET.

BOSTON, June 2.-The entire lack of
demand in the wool market continued to
keep the tone depressed and prices weak.
The sales of the week show more business
in territory grades but they are yet dull
and prices favor buyers. The market for
fleece woods continues dull and the situa-
ton remains unsettled. The demand in
Australian wool has been considerably re-
duced, and the supply ON hand and avail

CHICAGO, June 2.-Wheat showed a
good deal of activity today. During the first

to 666 cars, set the pace for a time and the

turn came to a sudden halt: shorts began
TO absorb the offerings to secure profits;
there were some country orders received
and sellers withdrew. French cables then
began. to report a bad outlook for the
drought, and nd these reports We're + partially
confirmed by the higher quotations from
Paris. Then came the liberal clearances

materially strengthened. The covering by
early sellers and the evidence of some
speculative buying gradually developed
better reaction than has been experienced
for some. time, the rally being nearly IL
cents. The closing cables brought lower
quotations. This caused one of themore

the 1h cent advance to 56h for July, and
There were quite a number of minor fiuc-

moderately brisk and though exhibiting
weakness early in the session rallied and
closed firm. Oats followed much the same
course as corn. Provisions were strongly
influenced by the unexpected small run of
hogs. Opening prices were at a small ad

fngton-Crozier carriage, upon
which the two guns here are
mounted. The other gun and
carriage had been tested at
Sandy Hook before they were
brol ght here. Since the two
big guns were placed here
they have been the pride Of the
post. The work of mounting
them was completed a few days
ago. The projectiles which
the guns throw are of steel,
with pointed ends, and weigh
s75 pounds each. The one
used in the test at Willet s
Point was of the same style
and weight, but was made OF
cast iron, steel being too eX-
pensive, it is said, to be used
in practice. The guns are load
ed at the breech.

raised by means Of a small de-
rick attachment on the gur
and pushed home, charge Q

the breech. In short tim
