Henry CIews,s Letter

Henry C1ews's weekly financial letter
says: We have had another week of dull
ness in Wall street. AT the moment the
elements of really active market do not
appear to exist This is one of the months
of recreation; and although comparatively
few are indulging in European travel, the
summer hotels full of visitors including
an unusual representation of the financial
class. The operators in stocks appear to
have reached the conclusion that after
such an excited market as we have had dur
ing recent months, a reaction of quiet was
10 be expected. They have reasoned that
the army campaign is not likely to reach
any additional victories during the hot
months, but may be reasonably expected to
culmlnate in an early peace. Thus the ex-
pectat1on has become general that. as the
military campaign and the Wall street
movement run on parallel lines, we may not
expect any buoyant activity in either for
the next few weeks.
1T is mainly for these reasons that the
large July interest and dividend disburse-
ments have had no marked effect upon the
market; This source of reinvestment
might have been made the occasion for a
rise in prices had a few strong operators
chosen to turn it to account; but that class
of spectators seems to be still out of the
market and hoping for lower range of
prices. Nevertheless, there has been, during
the week, an important investment demand
from this source. which has fallen mainly
upon the gilt-edge dividend-paying stocks
and railroad bonds. In the latter, the
transactions have been conspicuously large
with the result of a general advance in
prices. In anticipation of the government
loan. holders of railroad bonds sold out free
ly. with the intention of reinvesting in the
new bonds; and now that they see the gov
eminent issues divided between the popular
subscriptions and the financial Institutions
they have had to repurchase the class of
securities with which they have parted

while the stock market is comparatively
stagnant and speculation is lifeless, there is
no abatement of it's intrinsic strength.
Stocks are well held, and holders appear
confident in a higher range of prices when
the summer absentees return and the war
has entered on the peace phase"

and Prices Satisfactory.
In but few lines is any complaint heard of the
volume of trade. The commission houses had an
unusually good week. The receipts of fruits and
vegetables did not largely exceed the demand. and
most of the goods very satisfactory prices were
realized. The produce men had very fair week.
Prices on eggs. poultry and butter improved and
there is a better Eastern demand, which is help
ing this market. The wholesale grocers continue
TO do an unprecedentedly large business and at
good prices. The hide market is quite active but
prices are unchanged. The leather market is firm
and active. Seed merchants report trade quiet it
being between seasons with them The flour mar
ket is weak and unsettled. Provisions are moving
we'll at steady prices.
The local grain market the past week has been
more active. but receipts have not met the de-

Another Maine Victim.

BALTIMORE, July 16.-Lieut John j.
Blandin, who was officer of the deck on the
night the United States battle ship Maine
was blown up in Havana harbor died at
noon to-day in the Sheppards- Pratt Hos
pital, in this city. His death was the result
of meningitis brought on by the shock re-
ceived when the Maine was destroyed.
Lieutenant Blandin, after giving his tesu-
mony before the board of inquiry, at Key
West was assigned to duty at the United
States photographic office, in this city. His
wife and two sons lived here and it was
thought thatTthe comparatively light duties
would aid in restoring his nervous system.
This did not prove to be the case, however,
and from the day of his return to his home
in this city his friends remarked a change
in his demeanor. He seemed utterly unable
to dismiss from his mind the horrors of the
fatal night which saw the destruction of
the battle ship and the death of so many
of his comrades, and on July / he broke
down under the strain and was removed to
the hospital In the delirium which quickly
followed he reverted continually to the in
cident connected with the destruction of
the battle ship and fancied himself again
on deck issuing orders and aiding in the
rescue of his shipmates. His wife was with
him constantly, but for the past week he
he has been unable to recognize her. 1t was
hoped until yesterday that he might recov-
er, but his illness took an unfaVorable turn
and last night his physicians gave up hope.

dark clothes of a civilian. On his left arm
he carried brown overcoat. Immediately
following him were the recent governor of
Santiago, an old man in civilian clothes,
Captain Eulate and the rest of the Span
ish officers. A few of them were dressed in
the Spanish uniform, but most of them
were rugged out wholly or in part in duck

the American officers.

admiral in person and escorted him imme-

Commander White, Admiral Cervera and

made there, at which courteSieS were eX-

Soon after their arrival which was at

The other officers signed the parole and
were conducted to quarters in Stribling row,
