State bonds dull.
Railroad bonds firm.
Stocks-The unsettled and waiting
temper of speculation was shown no
less to-day by the stagnation in rail-
road stocks than by the disposition TO
take up different members of the group
known as specialties.
Dealings in the railway list were few
and far between and the only move
ment of prices was the sagging tenden
cy almost inevitable in lifeless mar
ket. Definite information as to the con-
ditions of the coming crop is what spe-
culators would most like to have. The
markets were full of rumors to-day of
damage and deterioration to the crops.
The failure of the wheat market to re-
fleet any crop damage was attributed
to large selling of the accumulations of
the Letter deal. But coupled with the
reports of crop damage it served to
confuse the speculative mind and dis
courage operations. Money also show
ed a slowly hardening tendency and
sterling exchange advanced on demand
for remittance of dividends and inter-
est due to foreign bondholders on July
1. The violent movement of several OF
the specialties reflected no general con-
dition and was without effect on the
market beyond the stock Immediately
dealt in Tobacco, the rubber stocks
General Electric preferred and Lead all
showed substantial advances, the deal
ings in tobacco being on an enormous
scale. Sugar fluctuated in a most &c
centric manner all day over range of
2h points part of the time above and
part of the time below yesterdays clos
ing price.
Railway bonds were very dull in SYM
patty with stocks, but prices were bet
ter held. Total sales $2.090,000.

She stated thar she could not rcmcnl-
ber whether she lad b"llr the names
of Louisa rrnbin and Louisa Helen Wcs
ley, but admitted that she had been IN
Bndwin jail under ne name OF Parkyn
having married Captain Parkyn.
