New York. June 25.-The regretable loss
of American soldiers in Cuba had a SEN
timentally depressing influence at the
opening of the stock market to-day.
Prices continued sluggish. but without
real weakness during the first hour. The
question of differentials to the Canadian
Pacific was said to still block a settlement
OF the rate war. and this contributed to
the heaviness i'm Northern Pacific. The
specialties on manipulation improved sub
stantially. Various industrials, including
Spirits and Tobacco, received effective
support, thus checking the earlier east
ness in the general railway list and rang
ing traders on the long side.
The however. failed to quite
reach last nights closing. The general
list closed firm in anticipation of a sue
cessful elimination OF the land and sea
operations at Santiago. The expected sue
cess of our army of invasion. coupled
with the continued ease of monetary con-
ditions, the growing foreign trade bal
ance in our favor and the expected heavy
investment demand for securities owing
to the July dividend and interest pay
ments, have rendered futile efforts by the
bears to create liquidation.
The bond market gave striking evidence
of the plethora of the money seeking in
vestments. Prices of the gilt-edged in
vestments improved substantially and
heavy purchase occurred of the reorgani-
zation issues, which promised a fair re-
turn on capital invested.
In government bonds gains occurred of
X per cent. in the old As registered and n
per cent. each in the new As. Others were
unchanged.

Chicago. June 5.-wheat was strengths
ened at the start by the reports Of dam
age TO crops with which the mail OF ev-
cry commission house was loaded. En-
glish cables came a shade better and there
were quite a number Of bad crop advfces
from the other side. among them a cable
gram from BroomhaIl saying that the
weather in England was unsettled, the
crop three weeks late. the growth rank
and the crop outlook poor. Later the mar
ket succumbed 10 the dullness of specuia-
tive trade and the general Impression that
such a crop as this seasons can spare a
lot TO the bugs and other pests and still
leave a bigger crop than was ever gath
cred. The early advance was soon lost and
prices left off under last nights close.
July closed 1Ac and September &c lower.
Crop prospects Incident to improved
weather depressed corn. There was some
liquidation in July and the bulls gave no
suppOrt to that or later deliveries. July
closed MdAc lower.
~Scalpers sold oats on every decline in
corn. This. combined with the selling by
longs, caused prices to sag. July closed
&c lower.
The speculative trade was still timid in
provisions on account Of the yellow fever
scare. Prices held firm and were a shade
higher at the close than yesterday except

on Pink Coat was last by several lengths.
After six furlongs had been covered Lit
tlefield let down the favorite's head and
he went to the front. running easily and
opening up a gap of two lengths. Martin
in the meantime had joined issues with
the bunch and was overhauling the lead

Cincinnati, June pa severe wind

bakery on Richmond street, crushing

sons have been taken ont .njuI ed, two
supposed to be fatally.
Spectators differ as to the cause of
the accident. Some wh1 saw II say the
stack, which has a metallic lining. was
struck by lightning; nthers say the
strong wind snapped it off above the
roof. The stack had just been built.
The debris fell through several stories
to the ground floor. The first thought
was that many were killed. as nearly a
hundred women and children were at
the bakery for the stale bread distrib-
uted free every morning. A panic re-
suited and several children were
knocked down. 1t was found. however,
that only five were seriously hurt. Her
