There were two adverse factors which
Influenced the market In the middle of
the week IN a downward dlrectlon-one
was the case of yellow fever reported in
New Orleans and the other was the ad-
vance in wheat. The scare which the
latter produced was on false theory.
AS matter OF fact, the advance In
wheat was not due to additional crop
damage reports on this side, but to
such reports regarding the European
crops; therefore. this should really have
had the reverse effect on the stock
market. AS for yellow fever, the effect
Of that was much exaggerated. AS
matter Of fact. that disease is only
attended with the danger OF spreading
In the fall months and not in the spring
season.
The stocks that met with the greatest
disaster were the Traction and Gas
properties, due to exaggerated esti-
mates OF the probable effect OF the

NEW \, YORK, June 3.-Liquldation
has met with little hindrance since our
last weekly advlces. Various reasons
can be adduced for the change In sentl-
ment which hns lately come over the
street: not tho least among these being
the loss OF leadership on the bull side.

questionalby a much more conservative

transformation OF Industrial enterprise
into big combinations, amounting to
about $1,000 100000 In the month Of May
alone, staggered responsible men; and
they wisely called halt. In the future
these combinations are likely to 20

safer lines; while the seductive schemes
OF clever promoters will be scrutinized
more severely.

SAFER llnesi Wni!e the seductive schemes
OF clever promoters will be scrutinized
more severely.
At present the market is/undoubtedly
depressed by the large amounts OF these
new securities which have been offered
10 the public; and 1t is quite likely that
insiders will not be able to unload as
suceessfullya as they once anticipated. a
few Of the new concerns are worthy of
public confidence; but many are not,
and the situation to-day Is much the
better for the refusal of the public to
take them. The trusts, we think. have
come to stay Prosperity Is upon us,
and seems likely to remain with us for
SOME time to come: so the combines,
good and bad, will probably continue
successful until the next period Of over
production and reaction begins. Then
the test must come.
Meanwhile. what of railroad securities
which have hitherto been the most pop
ular form ofinvestnents? Our railroad
systems are we'll developed and well es-
tGblished. The era of instability. In
Separable from the constructive period,
mas passed away. In future, railroad
bonds and stocks are destined to rank
hiNh among the safest investments in
the country. AS the nation grows traf-
tic must increase. Many of the roads
are now capitalized upon reasonable
basis. The floating supply OF their Sc
curi;les Is limited and, while prices
often seem high according to old stand
ards OF value. still, in view OF present
conditions, such as large earnings, easy
money and prospective continuance
of prosperity. the conclusion seems in
evitable that prices will go to still
higher level as soon as speculative
forces become more favorable. This
week these forces have been arrayed
on the bear side. assisted by exagger-
ated fears of gold exports, yellow fever,
the FordTbill. etc. None OF these fac
tors in our opinion Is OF any special i'm
portance. Just now It suits the inter-
.sts of some OF the biggest holders to
permit II decline. AS soon as these par
ties are satisfied. we shall see renew
al OF the upward movement; but
whether that Will be deferred until n
further. shaking out of weak holders
has taken place or not time only Will
determine. Sharp raids are apt to &C.
cur at any time In market like the
present one; but, so long as the present
tideso prosperity continues, no appre-
tensions need be INDUCED In about the
future OF the stock market.

Death of George Oliver.

Sunday night George Oliver, the
four-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Cbas. Oliver, on North street, was
apparently in perfect health but at
five O'Clock he was seized with
cramps from which he died at eight
O'Clock Monday morning. The doc
tors made every effort to save him
but TOD no avail. Ut Is supposed he
ate something which brought on the
cramps. The funeral was held from
the house at 2 o'clock Tuesday
Rev. Hawkins officiating. Members
of the Woodmen lodge were in at
tendance, Mr.. Oliver being a member
of that order. 1t was very sad blow
to the parents and the sympathy of
all their friends will go out to them
in their bereavement.
