Financial Review.

New York, June 10.-Bradstreet's Finan-
cial Review tomorrow will say: More or
less irregularity has been shown In the
movement OF the market this week. War
and war news has been less of a factor,
but, while the line of speculation has
been strong, there has been evidence of
realizing In groups of stocks which led
the recent advance. while fresh interests
have come into prominence and displayed
strength.
The bond markets inactivity has re-
flected the renewed presence of investors.
Governments have declined a little in con-
eQuenc of the passage of the war reve-
nue. bill by the senate with a bond clause.
and the certainty thus created that the
government would soon bring out a new
issue.
On the other hand the railroad bond
list has been advancing. the scarcity of
the higher prices for gilt-edge securities
creating a demand for the second. and
ever third grade of railroad mortgages.
London has both bought and sold
American stocks. although there still APP
pears to be a lack of public interest In
our securities abroad. and the advances
in the London quotations for them for
several lays are ascribed to- purchasing
orders from this side. While the market
here has been active, there has been a
falling on in the amount of public par
ticipation and the efforts of m~anipulators
rave been apparent in some of the more
notable movements. particularly the de-
cline of Sugar and the dvanc of various
specialties.
The sentiment of the street continues
bullish. The ease of money is a support
ing factor. and while the delays in the
progress of war and the conflicting news
or absence of any news whatever from
the scene of hostilities has been calculated
to hold back speculation. the underlying
feeling is one of confidence in the result
and i'm the strongly bullish effect of furth-
err success to our arms.

The Damage at Santiago.

New York, June 10.-A special to the
Herald from Santiago de Cuba Thursday
says: Rear Admiral Sampson is conf
dent that in addition to the great damage
lone to. the forts and earthworks at the
entrance of Santiago harbor, more than
one-half of the Spanish guns were actu-
ally dismantled. Perhaps even this esti-
mate may be found too low when the full
effect of that terrible rain of shot and
shell becomes fully known.
1t has been learned that during the
bombardment on Monday the Dolphin
wrecked a railroad train with a shell
from one of her runs. TIL train was filled
with Spanish troops and 1t is known that
many of them were killed.

Critical Period for svaiu,

London, June 10.-The Times says:
Probably the next few days will form
as critical a period as any the Spanish
government has yet passed through.

her volunteers into a shape good

sooner than seems to be anticipated in

friends can only urge her to submit

macy deals with the war. Lord Sails

New York. June lo.-R. q. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review Of Trade win say to-mor-
row. The certainty that the Spanish At
lantic feet IL imprisoned ana powerless
to do harm has helped to make the tone
Of markets more confident. Every step Of
progress during the week which has look
ed toward an early termination of the
struggle has been effected in the market
and in lower rates for money. All indus
tries have felt the uplifting influence. In

favor of the United States. A stronger
situation 1t would be dinicult to describe.
Men have been buying and selling stocks
with some blindness, though the course
of vents has all the time warranted a
higher market. Other countries have yet
to pay In some way an enormous balance
to the United States on merchandise
transactions. and it will save spectators
much trouble and loss to keep the fact
In mind.
Many talk as II wheat had gone down
out of sight, but the collapse of the May
speculation has only made 1t more evident
that the outside world requires nearly II
not quite all the wheat this country can
spare. Last week Atlantic exports, -four
included. were 1905 293 bushels against
1.634,602 bushels last year, and Pacific ex-

that the apparent consumption does not

more embarrassed than before, while the
Western markets are crowded beyond all
precedent. But prices are not changing
in either section.
The wooden manufacturers are buying
no wool and the sales at the three chief
markets during the past week were only
2.549.300 pounds against 4.s7s. $50 pounds in
1892. But the demand for goods proves
somewhat better in many directions than
was expected and the government re-
quirements nave compelled some manu-
facturers to buy somewhat largely grades
of wool which they had not expected to
require.
The auction sale OF carpets, resulting in
prices said to average so per cent. below

buying. and in carpet woods the market
is decidedly tame.
Failures for the week have been 203 in
the United States against 22 last year,

Novel se1f-Closing Gate.

An invention has recently been pat
ented by DR.. Peyton B. Green, of
Wytheville, Va, in which simple and
ingenious device is provided for closing
a gate automatically.
Referring to the accompanying en-
craving, it will be observed that, on the
top bar of the gate, a roller is journaled
which is engaged by an inclined rod
fulcrumed at it's lower end on a fixed
support set at a proper distance from
the hinge-post. A weight is held on the
rod and can be fastened in any desired
position by means of a set screw 70
prevent the rod from leaving the roller
when opening and closing the gate, the
bracket in which the roller is journaled
is provided with loop.
When the gate is swung open the free
end of the rod travels over the friction
roller and assumes nearly a vertical
position. AS soon as the gate is releas-
ed, the weight of the rod pressing
against the roller closes the gate. By

A CUBAN SQUIRREL HUNT.
How the Colored Regulars freed the Spanish
Sharpsh0Oters.

''It was after the fight at Caney,"
said the colonel between long pulls
at his short-stemmed black briar pipe.
1.-THE boys We're all tired out, you
know; they had been keyed up to con-
cert pitch SO long that when it was all
over and the relaxation came they
We're like dish rags. Everything was
quiet and only now and then would
a Mauser bullet sing in our ears, for
the sharp-shooters were still at their
deadly work. 1t was necessary that
they should be dislodged from their
perches in the trees and to bring ABOUT
such an end means was adopted that
was original and grimly humorous.
With US, before Caney, was the Tenth
United States Cavalry, a regiment OF
colored troops, seasoned lighters ana
as brave and soldierly crowd of men
as ever snapped a Krag-Jorgensen.
Upon them devolved the duty OF clean
ing out the sharp-shooters. They
were ordered to take up their rifles
and go out cunning for the Spaniards,
single and in little parties of two
and three and four. When the order
was given those colored boys let out
yell of delight that it seems to me
must have been heard in Havana.
The delight they took in the work
was deadly humorous. 1t was simply
coon hunt or a sQuirrel-shootlng
bee to them. One would duck in and
out among the bushes and wriggie on
his body through the grass, his eyes
fixed on some tree or other. lie Woulu

up there in the branches and creeping
up would pop a bullet at him. The
aim was, in every case as far as we

curate. Down from out the tree would
tumble the Spaniard and the colored
trooper would laugh and shout across
to a mate across the field: Oars an
noder squirrel, Gawge!
CITIZEN he would wriggle along few
rods further and bring down another.
The sport of picking off those sharp
shooters was better than coon hunt
in Georgia to the colored troopers and
in less than half an hour they had
knocked out eighteen of the Span
iards. When they came back to camp
they sat around for an hour telling
each other how they'd fetched en-
and they'd laugh till their sides ached
in recounting the gyrations the sharp
shooters would go through in the air
and when they had struck the ground.
After that the Tenth Cavalry came to
be known as the squirrel hunters
among the other soldiers"
And the colonel rambled along
through a labyrinth of yarns of the
Cuban campaign, telling stories that
have never appeared in the cores

more interesting. vastly than any pub
lished accounts of valor, gallantry and
the grim humor Of war.

Salt the Manure Hean.

Salt in the manure heaps will prove
beneficial. AS kainit contains a large
proportion of salt and also a percent
age Of crude sulphate of potash, it may
be mixed with the manure by turning
the heap over, care being taken that
all portions of the manure be sprinkled
with the kainit. 1t prevents loss of
ammonia to a certain extent, and adds
potash to the manure, while salt at
tracts moisture and serves as an aid to
prevent 'fre-fanging" of the manure.
Whenever manure is turned over the
coarse materials should be placed in
the center in order that they may be
more quickly decomposed.
