Rumors flew thick and fast among Brooklyn
Democrats last night TO the effect that Richard
Croker and his friends would have hard work

ticket without consulting me fully about it be-
forehand? This Is simply a scheme Of Crokers
to place another man in my place. knowing
that will not run. As soon as am off the
ticket Croker will get his friends together and
put up a man of their own"
1t is said that the Justice was all wrought up
over the nomination As n candidate in the I'D
Judicial District he thinks he would have an
even chance Of succeeding himself a Supreme
Court Justice. with a good salary and long
term The political outlook is not rosy enough
for him or any one else TO believe that he VIII

rise to the talk in Brooklyn about his resigning

Croker's wish TO dominate Kings County as
we'll as New-York was seemingly humored. Cro-
ker had wished to detach Hugh Mclaughlin
from his old alliance with David B. HILL ana
Augustus Van Wyck appeared to be the link IN
the chain which was needed to pull McLaueh-
lin away from Hill. He had influence with NC
Laughlin. and possibly could induce him TO de-
sert Hill. Already at that time. in mid-August
the political gossips said to-day, Augustus van
Wvck and Robert A Van Wyck had talks
about the Governorship, and in the affectionate
way of kindred it was. Bob, you take it, ana

EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, June 1O.-There was brief struggle in the first hour of to-days stock mar ket to extend the reaction which has been in progress during the week. when the prices sud- denly and vigorously took an upward turn. and 1t was a runaway bull campaign for the rest of the day. There was an enormous absorption of stocks ascending the scale of prices especially fin Sugar, Brooklyn Transit, the grangers and a few of the leading specialties. The picking up Of inactive and dormant stocks however dis tinguished the trading quite as much as the aggressive strength in the great speculative leaders. The advance made in the face of several incidents any one of which would have been seized upon to raid down the whole list in the reactonary spirit of the early part of the week, but they were without the slightest influence in restraining the heavy buying of stocks One of these incidents was the mark ing down of prices for Americans in London on the score of the chronic British apprehension that the currency and finance of the United States were being unsettled and ruined by the nations supreme legislative body. London sold stocks early this ground, but at the ex- treme decline bought little bit of Louisville and Southern Railway preferred. These two stocks suffered depreciation from the fear that the establishment of quarantnes against yellow fever in the South would interrupt traffic and cut down their earnings. Reports from the growing crops awakened urgent demand for the grangers, in which Burlington led with net gain of 2t. Atchison preferred Is up IS. on the day. The market closed very active and

DUN's REVIEW OF TRADN

NEW YORK, June 10-R. G. Dun Co 5 Weekly Review of Trade will say tomorrow:
 The certainty that the Spanish fleet is i'm prisoned and powerless to do harm has helped to make the tone of the markets more conn- dent. Every step of progress during the week which has looked toward early termination of the struggle has been reflected in the mar ket and in lower rates for money. All indus tries have felt the uplifting influence. In finances the growing anxiety to lend even long exchange at lower rates. in place Of ship ments Of gold to this country, begins to ac- cumuate a standing credit in favor of the United States A stronger situation 1t would be difficult to describe. Men have been buying and selling stocks with some blindness, though a higher market.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

NEW YORK; June 1O.-Bradstreets Finan- cial Review tomorrow will say:
 More less irregularity has been shown in the movement of the market this week. War and war news has been less of factor. but while the tone of the speculation has been gen orally strong, there has been evidence of realiz- ing in groups of stocks which led the recent advance while fresh interests have come into prominence and displayed strength The bond markets activity has reflected the renewed presence of investors. Governments have de clined little in consequence of the passage of the war revenue bill by the Senate with a bond clause, and the certainty thus created that the Government would soon bring out issue. On the other hand, the railroad bond list has been advancing. the scarcity of the higher prices for gilt edge securities creating a de- mand for the second and even third grade of railroad mortgages. London has both bought appears to be a lack of public interest in our securities abroad, and the advances In the Lon don quotations for them for several days are aScribed to purchasing orders from this side. While the market here has been active. there has been a falling off in the amount of public participation, and the efforts of manipulators have been apparent in some of the not able movements, particularly the decline of sugar and the advance of various specialties The sentiment of the street continues bullish The ease of money is a supporting factor, and the conflicting news absence of any news whatever from the scene of hostilites has been calculated to hold back speculation, the under lying feeling Is one of confidence in the result and in the strongly bullish effect of further suc- cess to our arms.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, June 10.-The crop damage reports continued to be the chief bull item in Wheat at the start. There seemed to be a growing apprehension that the harvest would be seri- ously delayed and that the grain would suffer serious injury. Wheat in the southern half of Kansas was said to be about ready for the flooded. Numerous other telegrams iron, differ ent parts of the country sent equally bad re- ports, but interspersed with the heralds of calamity were few others of a more reassur- ing character. suggesting the possibility of alleged disaster being more imagination than the actual facts. There was a disposition to wait for the Government report and this acted as check to speculation. The clearing up of the weather in Chicago caused a temnor. ary change in speculative sentiment The s1n In about two hours after the opening of inc session was beaming in at the windows of inc Board or Trade and melted all the bull feel ing out or the crowd in the Wheat Dit From being very strong, the market became wrak eral buying by shorts gave the market a fresh impetus near the close July left ofY Iuitb = gain of hc and September %lEc higher
