STOCK MARKET DECLINES
Influenced by the Generalization
in Wheat.
The Money Market PerceptibI,
Firmer ia Time Loan
Division.

New York, June 13.-The renewed de-
moralization in the grain market was,
perhaps, the most tangible and direct ex-
planation of the decline in the stock mar
ket this morning. Heavy sales by houses
with direct Chicago connections were re-
enforced by rumors from the Western
city of serious financial embarrassment of
the recent most conspicuous operator in
the wheat market.
These reports were received with a full
ness of circumstance that made them at
least credible, not TO speak OF the panicky
decline in wheat.
The money market was perceptfbIy
firmer in the time loan division. devel-
opment which was chiefly in anticipation
of the issue Of the Government loan. In
consequence sterling exchange declined
sharply. though the purchases of stocks
on this market by foreign houses also
contributed to the weakness in exchange.
The buying for foreign account, continued
throughout the early weakness in the
market, aggregated about 20.000 shares of
stocks.
Little attention was paid 10 the Treas
ury statement of the country's exports of
domestic products for May, though they
reached the enormous total of S72. Sos, 900,
an increase of more than 20 per cent over
last year.
y rapid recovery took place in the
stock market in the last hour in which
the whole list participated. There
were no special developments bear
ing upon ., Rartioular stocks aside
from the influence of yellow fever

ern Railway. Both companies today re-
ported handsome increases in earnings

SOLDERING IN EARNEST.
District Regiment Pitches Camp
Three Times in Three Weeks.

A member of the District Volunteers

that isn't in it with being a soldier for

occurred on the cars, as we have spent
as much time on the cars as we have on

The stock market had bad tumble yes
terday morning and did not entirely re-
cover its lost ground during a fair rally

ed. is excellent. The yellow fever scare is
no worse than 1t was last week. and the
absence of reports of new cases is en-
couraging. There was one largely unfound-
ed rumor yesterday morning that probably
may have had its bad influence. Chicago
sent out a report in the early morning
that there were likely to be all kinds of
financial complications srnd perhaps a Sc
rious failure or two over the wheat specu
| lation. Later in the day the atmosphere
| in Chicago cleared wonderfully, however,
and it appeared probable that the entire
story had been a market rigger. On the
| whole therefore, it would appear proba-
| BILE that the market should be strong to-
| day unless there is bad news from some
where, and it seems almost certain that
| the yellow fever scare offers the only pos
J sibility in this direction.

CAUSING ANXIETY.
Report of the Fall of Manila Wor-
rfes the Administration.

EicS thc
Whether or not the Administration has
received official intelligence of the fall
of Manila, the fact remains that the
story of its capture by insurgent forces
has given rise to certain misgivings and
is responsible for pronounced apprehen-
sion on the part of the President and his
war advisers.
Especially as regards the Philippines 1t
has all along been the purpose of the
Administration to eliminate as far as pos
sible the insurgent element in American
victories. Such a policy was determined
upon at the outset of the war with view
to avoiding complications with the rebel
forces when hostilities with Spain have
been terminated.
When Admiral Dewey refused TO actively
cooperate with the Philippine insurgents
after his naval victory he was acting
under positive Instructions forwarded to
him by the State Department before he
sailed from Hong Kong.
Orders OF similar character have been
issued to other commanders with instruc-
tions to obey them as religiously as the
eXigencies of war will permit.
Thus the Administration anticipated the
possibility of trouble with the insurgent
forces in the event Of any material as
sistance from them in conquering Spain.
Should they become in any way pow
erful element in future American land
victories they may be expected to demand
consideration in the final adjustment of
Americas claims against the Spanish
government, may even demand a voice
in the final terms of peace This would
be widely at variance with the future
state policy as previously outlined by the
Administra tion.
1t was not believed that the insurgents
would be able TO capture Manila before
Admiral Dewey's land re-enforcements
had arrived But in the light of the latest
reports il is evident that they must be
dealt with after the present war is at
an end

Mr.. Hay, it is said, expressed the opinion
that the fleet cannot be ready to sail

however, that the feet may sail in a
short time; perhaps within a week, but
that she will not attempt TO cross the
ocean. If she leaves Cadiz it will be a
ruse to pacify the Spanish people. She
will probably sail for the Canaries or
some other near by point. Notwithstand-
ing these confident hopes, however, the
Navy Department is keeping its scouts
always out on the lookout for Camara.

that there were all sorts of rumors in

Toward the close he gave out report

Changing from bimetallic to the sim

the same manner that changing from

ard would have, but In a lesser de-
gree, "By taking a one-carat dla-
mond -four grains) as worth fifteen

as 1t did the silver dollar, and ADOPT
Ing the carat diamond as the standard
OF value In its place. What would
be the effect on the price of gold and
diamonds? Gold would go down in
price and diamonds rise, because the
principal demand would be taken
from one and a new demand Gre
ated for the other. How would II
affect labor and debts? Injurious
ly, because 1t would require the
workingman to work AGO times as
long to earn the diamond as 1t did
to earn the dollar. II he owed dol
lar, when the change was made, and
he afterward paid It, It would be
equivalent to paying 400 dollars. II
man were worth $1,000 when the
change was made, he would be worth
100000 after 1t was made. The de-
monetization of silver-cutting off
over one-half of the money of the
world-has had the same effect. In
stead of multiplying labor and debts
by AGO, each should be doubled. The
value of money has increased about
100 per cent. This proposition is 90
plain that 1t is almost self-eyldent.
