Business on the Exchange Was Dull and
 Quiet.

New York, May 19-Business at the again to-day. The tone of the market at the opening was characterized by firmness, the comparatively small ex- ports of gold by to-day's German steamers and a belief that the recent sales of American securities abroad will furnish sufficient exchange to keep shipments of the metal within moder- ate bounds, having contributed to the strength of the market at that time. The improvement, however, was con- fined to narrow limits, save in the case of the Rubber stocks, which gained 1h@21a per cent. on the statement sub- mitted to the stockholders at their an- nual meeting at New Brunswick, N. J., to-day. MT. Banigan, who was said to be opposed to the present management, stated at the meeting that he was not interested in a new company, as pub- Hshed some time ago, and that he would support and cooperate with the Trust directory. This also had a strengthening influence. The report submitted was considered favorable.
 Soon after the opening, Sugar and Manhattan weakened. The former fell from 1221s to 120, and the latter from 1O1% to 10Oa. The weakness in Sugar was due to the reduction in the price of refined, which has led to reali- zations by brokers alleged to have in- side connections. Manhattan was again sold on the unfavorable report for the March quarter and on an un- founded statement that its chief com Madison avenue horse car line. Metro politan Traction, on the other hand, was in request and advanced from 106A to 10S Friends of the stock say that the forthcoming quartrely report will be favorable. Tobacco was bought on early advices from the west that efforts were being made to bring about a settlement of the trade war.
 The railway list moved within a very narrow radius and at the close showed declines of 1s@% per cent. as compared with yesterdays finals. The loss in the Industrials was equal to h@1% per cent. outside of Tobacco and Rubber which scored gains Of 1s@5s per cent.
 Bonds were firm in tone. Sales were s1,593000.

EARN BURNED.

One of the Employees Perishes in the Flames = Two Escape = Nine Horses Burned.
 A barn in Hamden owned by George w Ives, the brick manufacturer, was destroyed by fire early yesterday morn Il ling, and Henry Whalen, one of his Eworkmen, perished in the flames. Whalen and two other workmen were |as1ep in the 'offiee" on the second floor l |of the barn. There were about twenty l ftons of hay and several tons of straw | and large quantity of oats and meal on this floor.
 On the ground floor there were eleven horses, two cows, a goat, five sleighs, three carriages, a number of harnesses, moving machine, raking machine, and 8 large collection of farming tools.
 The names of the two men asleep in the "office" with Whalen were James Cullen and Lawrence Ryan.
 An attempt was made to save some of the horses and two of them were gotten out before the fire was so hot las to render further efforts out of the question. The other nine horses the two cows, and all the other contents of the barn were consumed.
 The barn and adjoining carriage house were burned to the ground. There Is small wooden school house and B half dozen dwelling just south of where the barn stood, and at one time 1t was feared that this cluster of build- |ngs would catch fire.
 MT. Ives said yesterday that he could hot estimate his loss, but was satisfied 1t would reach S10,000, partially covered by insurance. Among the nine horses burned was thoroughbred black colt three years old, which was valued at 1 ,000 The two horses saved from the lire were the least valuable in his Btable.
 Henry Whalen the man who perished n the fire, was twenty-four years old,
 son of the late James Whalen, who ived for years at the corner of Wallace md Myrtle streets. He had worked for ir. Ives week, entering his employ as rick team driver week ago yesterday. He has four brothers living in this city, md after Medical Examiner c. H. Jos

 The origin of the fire is unknown. There are three stories regarding its ause. One is that the barn was ignited
