THE MARKET ELSEWHERE,

New York June 24.-The bear opera
tors among the professional traders be-
came somewhat discouraged over the
events of today's short session and en-
gagged in something like a scramble to
cover outstanding short contracts in
the closing dealings. An unfavorable
bank statements has been counted upon
by this element to further a decline. To-
days statement, while it cannot be
called favorable one, was not as
weak as had been foretold, and when
the bears started to cover shorts after
it's publication they found that it had
brought slight offerings to sell.
Prices were marked UP quite suddenly
in some cases to the highest point OF
the day. making the closing quite buoy
ant in tone. The banks loss in cash re-
serves was not as large by over mil
lion dollars as had been estimated, and
the further liberal expansion of more
than 5,0o0,0O0 in loans indicated the
faith of banking authorities in the
money outlook.
Who are the borrowers of this large
amount of money is much a mystery
as was the increase last week. 1t has
certainly not gone into stock market
speculation during the week. One sup
position is that the gold that has been
going abroad goes in the form of actual
loans to foreign institutions.
This would help to explain the mys-
FERROUS action of the exchange market
in face of the gold shipments, which
has failed to reflect any yielding under
offerings of bills against the shipments.
The strength in todays stock market
conferred in the Vanderbilt group, New
York Central, Northwestern and St.
Paul and Omaha rising from is to 4
points.
The simultaneous rise of rs in Union
Pacific revived rumors of a trans-con-
tinental railroad combination. The ar
rival in this country of a second mem
Der Of the Vanderbilt family and the
strong statement of New York Cen
trail for the fiscal year were the pre-
sumptive grounds for the strength in
this group.
The Changers, the trunk lines. par
ticularly Baltimore & Ohio, and in
fact, the railroad list generally, were
strong throughout. There was weak
ness at one time in Steel G. Wire, Sugar
and Tennessee Coal. Most stocks clos
ed at the best and at notable net gains.
The bond market was quiet and yielded

We look upon the market as good
purchase around current prices. July
interest and dividend disbursements
will be the largest ever recorded, and
easy money will continue. Large rail
road and industrial earnings are the
order of the day, and activity in the

about a much higher range of pric IS.

Rumor that the B. & A.
Has Been Bought
Notes.

Once more the speculative view be-
comes 3roseate.
The temper seems to have changed
decidedly this week and already advice
is given to get aboard" for a great
market in July. The net result Of the
two hours trading in Wall street yes
terday was ain average advance in lead
ing stocks at 81, making practically an
average rise of 81 for the week. The
Vanderbilts again led in yesterdays
market. recording substantial gains,
and what was significant, the rise in
New York. New Haven & Hartford in
Boston went further, with Boston &
Albany included. The street has been
full of rumors of an impending great
deal" and the course of stocks like
New York Central, Northwestern,
Omaha and Union Pacific in New York
and New Haven and Albany in Boston
is taken as evidence that the rumors
have something substantial upon which
to rest.
There was a conference of prominent
interests in New York Thursday ana
since then the stock market has rallied
well. 1t is believed that the plan for
concentrating or combining the VAN
derbilt system, begun some time ago
in the merger of the New York Central
and the Lake Shore is about ready for
extension to other lines. With the Al
bany or the New Haven, one or both,
from Boston to the Hudson river, the
Central to Chicago and the NorthWes-
tern, the Omaha and the Union Pacl-
fic to the Pacific coast great trans
continental line under a management
of the highest ability and public conh-
.dence is secured. Harmonious opera
ton of course, is now 1act; what
the closer operation of these great llnes
may mean is a matter OF interesting
suggestiveness.
The report gained currency today
that 1.-THE New York Central has pur-
chased the Boston & Albany. Mr.. Hay
den. vice-president of the Albany,
says that he has nothing to say ABOUT
the matter at present, and 1t is the
last two words that set State street
talking in 1.-THE noon hour. Mr.. Hay
Il den heretofore has denied this kind OF
report and rumor; now his reply seems
to Indicate that there is foundation OF
fact in the repeated story. 1t GER

have no basis, that the prominent gains

The three days meeting of the Pen
lnsula Horticultural Society in our
town last week, was an event in this
branch of the farming interest. Hor-
tlculture in farming is more of 'new
departure" in Agriculture than what
Is called the Higher Criticism" is in
theology-because it is tangible, and
the bearer of practical results. Horti.
culture not only as a branch of aori-
culture, but as a financial measure is
a matter of vast interest to this PENN
sula; it has in it the power and potency
OF future success in the farming life.
1t was noticed that the members who
attended the meeting from the various
points OF the Peninsula were represent
atlve men-those who tell not only the
KIND OF fruit to plant and how to plant
II, but the relation of chemicals to it.
the remedy for fungus, DESTROYING
diseases, depredating insects, &C.. and
they can rise and tell the reason for
this and that position that NAV he
taken. 1t was noticed also that only
the "up-to-date" farmers had an abid-
ing interest in the deliberations of the
meetlng-that to the "hog and bom-
In" farmers, it was as so manv Greek

given as a compliment to the young

oughly they appreciated it, would be
telling of the splendid enthusiasm
with which they entered in making it
an evening charming in every particu-

ncer to provide paper in at least three
colors sufficient for tickets for the en-
tire State. Say yellow for the Demo-
cratic tickets, red or brown for Repub-
lican, blue for Prohibitionist, with an
