The stock Market.

New York, May 1S-The bull cam
paign inaugurated yesterday on the
stock exchange promised we'll during
the early part of the day. but before
the close the advantage gained earlier
had all been lost and prices as a rule
We're lower than last night, not only
in the specialties, whose weakness
stopped the advance, but in the STAN
dard stocks and those which had led
the advance as we'll, At the opening
the bull contingent had to face series
Of declines for Americans in London;
but the tendency of the London market
after it's opening was upward, and the
declines there were ignored, prices here
opening higher all along the line. There
was a fair volume of orders to buy
which had come to commission houses
over night as a result of the strength
displayed yesterday, and there was no
selling for London account to amount
to anything. The early advance was
continued with vigor and confidence,
led by Peoples Gas and Rock Island,
The grangers all showed strength but
Rock Island, which crossed Burlington
temporarily yesterday, and ruled above
the latter stock all day to-day. The
unsettled tone of Tobacco and the large
volume of transactions in it gave the
first check to the advance. When very
heavy offerings of Sugar We're Joined to
those Of Tobacco the bull campaign re-
oeived an effectual check for the day,
and was not renewed. There was
conspicuous movement of Rubber pre-
ferred on the strength of the good
statement of the company's business
made at yesterdays annual meeting.
The price rose at one time 3-S. The
weakness in Sugar and Tobacco be-
came more pronounced as the day pro-
crossed, the extreme decline in both
stocks reaching to within a small frac-
ton of points. This proved too heavy
burden for the market to carry and
prices fell away in a very dull mar
ket until enar the close, when there
was some animation on realizing. The
stringent measures adopted by the
government to stop the publication of
news Of naval operations has proved
highly efffcacious and information
seemed to be entirely lacking in Wall
street to-day. This tended to beget
some feeling of nervousness and doubt
which helped on the reaction. The
money market was quotably lower to-
day and sterling exchange IL cent
higher all around, but the easier money
conditions had no effect on speculation
The weakness of wheat doubtless had
some sympathetic effect
Bonds We're dull all day and prices
moved very narrowly, but were well
held in the late reaction in the stock
market. Total sales, $1,S00,000
United States new fours coupon We're

What might have been a very lively
runaway was prevented by George FL
lott of the Star market. H. II. Brown
of the Brown Lumber Co. drove up in
front of the postofIice to transact some
business, leaving his horse standing be-
side a rack of bicycles. The horse in
some manner got the rein caught under
the handle bars of the wheels and in
an attempt to move his head upset the
rack. Thus frightened the animal
dashed UP the street with the wheel
hanging to the reins. The horse was
stopped before any serious damage
was done.

COLONIAL DANES OF AMERICA,

The Colonial Danes of America, Mrs.
ganized committee to raise an emer-
gency fund to be used by the surgeon
general of the navy for the purpose of
supplying fresh fruit vegetables and
other delicacies to the sick and wound
ed. The purpose for which subscrip-
lions are now being received is sug-
gested by Surgeon General Van Rey-
pen, as being the best to which any
fund raised for the benefit Of the sick
and wounded can be applied. 1t is
the intention Of the government not to
keep any of the wounded or ill men in
the tropical climate, but to move them
as fast as possible from any place
where an engagement takes place, in
the first instance to Tampa and Key
West, and then to some northern port,
and for this purpose they have either
one or two ambulance vessels already
fitted up; and the surgeon general says
that a fund placed in his hands to sup
ply the articles mentioned would be of
the greatest assistance to him. Should
there be speedy termination of the
war 1t is proposed to use the money
for the relief of the distress caused by
it, and for our soldiers who NAV be
left in Cuba. Five hundred dollars
have already been sent to Surgeon
General Van Reypen at his request.
Contributions can be sent to the Nick
erbocker Trust company. 234 Fifth ave

RECEIVER APPOINTED.
Mills Bell Company Will Be Conducted
BY New Haven Man.

Mills Bell Company VIII BE conducted
BY New Haven Man.
Middletown, May 1S.-Upon applica-
ton, Franklin B. Shuster, proprietor of
the John Adj factory, of New Haven,
practical business man. has been APP
pointed as receiver of the Mills Bell
company Of this city.
He will hereafter have the entire
management of the business OF the
concern, which will be continued under
the receiver.
A meeting of the stockholders of the
company was held on Monday after
noon, and it was decided to give the
receiver what aid he may need in the
conduct of the business with the hope
of making it prosperous. 1t is be-
lieved that the stock will be brought
to par, and that good business can be
done at the local factory. The con-
pany has had some ups and downs
since it's formation in this city, but it
is thought more vigorous manage
ment would have resulted in more
prosperity for the concern. The goods
manufactured by the concern are said
to be among the best in the market.
An effort will be made under the new
arrangement to make the company
prosperous.
