already discount is hardly better than TX
per cent, a fall of " per cent within a
week. None the less it Is true hat our
credit is burdened in many places with
expensive commitments, which it is UNI
able to work off. Underwriters of new
issues have been saddled with many mil
lions of securities the public either could
not or would not take, and also enormous
bull positions have been created in the
active speculative markets, which there
is no hope of l~iquidating at present,
thanks to the political outlook at home
and abroad. The extent to which the
market is clogged can be judged by the
slow but steady fall in cOnsOlS and by
prices now asked for new issues of first
class securities. Part of the fall in con-
sols is due to the bear sales, but 1t IS
mostly the result of the efforts to realize
capital so as to find means to hold new
securities rashly subscribed for. Two
years ago the London county council,
whose gross debt is now upward of f4O,-
00O, 900. offered e, 800, 600 of its new 2h per
cent stock at par and sold it at a few shil-
lings above par. Next week the council
asked tenders for Fl, 500, 900 more of the
same stock and has fixed 80 as it's mimi
mum figures. even at that figure. the
market is disinclined to tender and the
stock will probably so but slightly above
the minimum parity into the middleman's

market is overburdened.
But it is still abroad where the trouble
to credit lies. Your gold may save the
position in Paris at the settlement next
week, yet with all such help, it is precari-
Gus enough. And small wOnder. for the
French nave been plungirg most wildly
for years in all directions and now, with
trouble perhaps brewing in South AZ
RIGA, with Spain on the brink of a revo-
luton, with italy failing toward f1ilanc!ai
chaos, difficulties beset the market on all
sides. To make matters worse, France,
like Germany, has been INDUCING too
freely in imitation of our company mon
gering and share rigging, so that there is
the same mass of rubbish and inflated
prices there as here. In the long run. no
amount of gold can avert dangerous
liquidation. Should Europe this year
suffer the aff1iction of another short har-
vest, as seems probable, nothing IN my
view can avert widespread disaster. Thus
the market is smooth only on the surface,
like a stage full of traps.

1~ncendlary Fire.

New York, July 2.-An incendiary fire
at Summit, N. J., today. did $3.50. 0OG
damage. The fire was discovered about
8 O'Clock this morning in a Darn in the
rear Of a house wned by V. Vicari, on
Union avenue. A high wind prevailed
at the time. The fire communicated to
a frame building some distance away
and then destroyed about ten similar
buildings adjoining, which We're occu-
pied by stores and dwelling houses. The
fire got beyond control and within a
short time the Agate block Of five
buildings was in flames. They WE'RE en-
t:rely destroyed. About 100 persons who
lived in the apartments over the stores
were driven to the street and saved prac-
tically nothing.

Bryan, Texas, is Submerged--So
Far as Reported Only One or Two
Lives Were Lost.

Bryan, Texas, July 2.-Thousands of
acres of corn and cotton which "as laid
by is unde water and the loss cannot b.
estimated until the floods recede. Those
who have visited the river bottoms at the
Jones bridge. nine miles south of here,
report that houses, household effects,
cows and hogs. alive and dead, and hun
dreds of other things were coming down.
Parties who went out to investigate the
flood situation between the Big and Little
Brazos rivers above here report that the
two rivers met Friday below Hearne,
forming a vast basin Of water, covering
large plantations On which are gins,
stores and residences. The same condi-
tons prevail in the bottom beyond the
Big Brazos. The river is spreading oppo-
site and beyond Bryan, principally on the
Burleson county road.
William Thomas and Patrick Ward
have returned after a 25-n.le trip through
the overflowed district between the Big
and Little Brazos rivers. They went to Il
number of neighboring towns in a boat,
rowing over fields and through the PLAN
tations. The water was % inches deep in
front of the stores at Steeles. The Hearne

washed away. The people have been
gathered together by the plantation own

the Big Brazos in the bottom and there
We're only one or Lwo instances of drown
ing. One of these was a negro named
julie Chapman, who was drowned on the
Little Brazos while trying to get his fam
lily. The Big Brazos river has been at a
standstill for 20 hours.
Capt. George Smith, one Of the best
known cotton men n the vicinity, says he
thinks the cotton crop Of the Brazos bot
tim is ruined. He telegraphed to New
York this evening estimating the loss
from Waco to the gulf in the Brazos vail
ley at 100000 bales.
The Navosta river is said to be seven to
ten feet higher than ever known here. and
at Madisonvlle It is 37S feet wide. Com
municatlon with the interior country is
impossible until the streams go down.

New York; April 21.-The volume of spec limits and included still less of outside in terest than heretofore apparent. The local contingent proceeded with decided caution and the scope of fluctuations today was confined to a matter of two points.
 The opening call developed a tolerably steady feeling at unchanged prices to an advance of l point, but immediately fol- lowing the call the feeling became very listless and transactions were upon a scale more in keeping with the midsummer so- lastiee than with the volume of trading in order at this season of the year. Cables were unsatisfactory and were coupled with moderate selling orders. There was also some disposition to sell the new crop on the part of southerners.
 As rule, however, the local traders had the market to themselves without knowing what to do with 1t. Most of the session the ring was practically deserted. The con- servatfye shorts covered in short way and helped arrest the decline. The close was steady at one point net advance.

Paine. Murphy & Co.'S stecie Letter

By Private Wire to Paine, Murphy 6 Co., E Birmingham, April 2.-Fraetional ad- -Vances and recessions were scored in stocks of the same class at today's opening of the stock market Small and irregular changes We're noted also in the London market for Americans. At the opening Brooklyn Rapid Transit was run up rather sharply, but it soon reflected the realizing sales that was put in and soon sagged back to last nights closing prices. The dealings in An- aconda continue active and the stock showed a decidedly reactionary tendency Louisville and Nashville Southern Railway preferred and the Changers continued steady on light dealings In the Industrials Continental Tobacco was active and weak The newly listed smelting stocks were ac- lively dealt in at slight recessions from yesterdays closing figures There was an utter absence of news or important develop ments over night to give a decided trend to speculative element and dealings in the market were almost wholly for the pro- fessional account. The close was fairly strong at about last nights figures.

Paine. Murphy 6 Co.'s Grain Setter

By Private Wire to Paine, Murphy & Co.
 Birmingham, April 2.-The wheat market started firm this morning, but locals sold freely yesterday and wefe good buyers and quickly advanced prices about $ cents. There was more inquiry for cash wheat and it is thought the movement to the seaboard will be largely all rail, owing to the late- ness of navigation. Crop damage reports are numerous, but in some instances show ed a better condition than previous ones. These reports kept the market in an cratic state. The general trade was not as broad as for some days previous, although some of larger operators bought quite freely. Spring seeding is progressing In the north- west with reports that it will be from 15 to 25 per cent less than last year. Modern Milier's report of decided improvement in the outlook caused general realizing this af- ternoon. Look for lower prices in corn, but think that at 35 cents for July it is pur- chase Provisions dull but firm.
