The action OF the stock market yesterday
should be considered in every way salts
factory. Prices at the close were higher
than at the close on Saturday or at the
opening yesterday morning in a majority
OF stocks. There was no big advance and
there were periods when prices went off
SO that the weak kneed were not satisfied
but the market acted in every way as II
was expected TO by the people who had
any adequate conception of the situation
IL will be remembered that the statement
was made In this column on Sunday thai
the readiustment OF values and settlement
Of accounts that had been played out
without being sold out on Saturday would
result in feverishness and recessions dur
ing this week, unayoidably. Yesterday Wit
messed exactly these conditions. At the
opening there was heavy buying by the
best people in the street and in New
York. The leaders of the bull market
combined with the great life insurance
companies TO take all the stock that was
offered and they took an enormous guam
uty. Later the selling of stocks on the
advance produced some weakness and re-
cessions. This condition will almost
surely continue during the remainder Of
the week or at least for two or three
days But there is nothing in such a
natural consequence of the earthquake last
Saturday that need produce any uneasinsss.

CONFIDENCE IN TIE
MARKET RESTORED
Traders Recover From Satur-
days Heavy Shock.
Strong Support for Flower Stocks
Aids the General Situation.
A Large Volume of business Widely
Distributed Promptly Boosts
Prices All Along the Line.

New York, May 15.-The stock market
opened with few vestiges of last weeks
decentralization, and il seemed to be the
general opinion that the worst of the shock
resulting from the sad event of Friday was
over. As was to be expected there were
some evidences of lingering nervousness
on the part of the spectators whose re-
sources had been impaired by Saturday IS
violent decline but these soon gave way
upon the appearance Of supporting orders
throughout the market. There is room
for difference of opinion as to the quarters
from which these orders came, but at all
events they were generally distributed, and
were in sufficient volume TO bring about
common ana pronounced advances at the
opening. Apparently the London market
for American stocks had been utilized for
the purpose Of favorably affecting local
sentiment. for sharp advances were shown
In all the foreign listed stocks in the early
cabled advices. On balance the arbitrage
houses were purchasers of about 20. 600
shares here. The business of the local
commission houses was unusually mixed
reflection of the unquestionably confused
public sentiment toward the market The
boardroom traders facilitated the early ad-
vance by bidding UP prices SO long as they
could be sure OF the presence of support
Ing orders but they were quick to reverse
their position when they detected evidences
of the withdrawal of support.
Rejecting the influence of these tech
nical conditions the days price move
ments were rather irregular. There was
nothing of sufficient Importance in the
news over Sunday to divert attention from
the situation as growing out OF the death
OF the most prominent and influential
speculative leader the market has prob
ably ever had. The money market was
easy There were few statements of rail-
way earnings reported News from the
crops was meagre. In these circumstances
it was natural that after the strong and
active opening the market should become
dull and in some quarters reactionary.
Interest was diversified with the trad
ing. but was naturally most active in the
Flower group, notably In the Federal
Steel shares, Peoples Gas and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit. Sugar Refining was also
heavily dealt in, and luctuated widely and
without any definite reasons The local
traction shares were active and in the main
nrm. Metropolitan Street Railway ad-
vanced very rapidly. and the whole class
was favorably affected by the prospects for
the modification of the Ford franchise bill.
The fluctuations in the granger group and
the Pacific stocks were comparatively mar
row The anthracite coal shares were dull
and rather heavy, and Tennessee Coal and
Iron was weak. a feature of the day's
dealings was the unusual number of trans
actions in small lots OF stock, an indica
fion that the investor of moderate means
had been attracted TO the market. The
close was quiet and steady.

New York, May 15.-The week opened
with a feeling OF uncertainty. Many con-
tend that with the probability of a third
monster crop, 1t is difficult to see why the
market should improve, but the price is
low, compared with former years, and SELL
ing may be unfavorable for a time The
continual demand for cotton in Liverpool
is likely, also, to hold the price above its
ultimate and natural level. solely because
the size of this years crop is not absolute
ly certain yet.
The early cable advices indicated no
change at Liverpool, which brought In a
few buyers here. An easy market follow
ed, with prices down two to three points;
but the amount of cotton changing hands
was quite small. The weather reports
were against the market showing as they
did fair conditions over the entire South,
with mercury down to sixty-six at Al
bilene, the lowest, and seventy-eight at
Corpus Christi, the highest. At one time
during the morning some commission
firms were sellers to moderate extent. h.

Everything in the situation points TO a
higher level of prices in the near future.
The old arguments are threadbare and are
known to all. Prosperity all over the
country, but especially in the Flower
companies, prices of FIVE to thirty points,
cheap money; they all mean that the level
of prices should be advanced. But there
are now several new reasons why big ad-
vances should be expected from the present
level. Why should the New York life in
surance companies be buying stocks at
this time if they do not expect them to
show gains in prices in the next few
months? Why should the Standard Oil
party be buying stocks by the thousands
of shares2 The life insurance companies
have showing of assets to make to their
policy holders II is not to be supposed
that these companies would be embarking
in the purchase of stocks that will be SELL
ing ten or fifteen points lower. And it is
no more to be thought that such shrewd
people as the present bull leaders of the
market would be taking great blocks of
stocks cut of the market entirely If they
believed they would have to be marketed
later at heavy losses. The public is out
of the market largely. The people who are
supporting ii now are the strongest finan-
cial interests in America. The public will
be buying laters and at higher prices.-
These, at least. are the arguments of some
OF the best posted people in the street.

The one argument of the bear party is
that prices are now at level too high, be-
cause it is higher than it was last year
and two years ago. Bears find 1t as difficult
10 look back of last year as the ordinary
individual. They wish TO compare prices
in this, year of great prosperity, with
prices in 1897. year when there was little
in sight but more depression in business.
The only fair comparison to make would be
with the level of ten or twenty years ago,
when the country was in a period of pros
perity not any greater than that of the
present. If as great.

Mrs. Washington Mclean and Mrs.
Ludlow, wife of Rear Admiral Ludlow,
mother and sister respectively of the
bride, and Lieutenant Caldwell Admir-

AS Admiral Dewey is not Catholic,
a special dspensation was required for
the performance of the ceremony, ara
this was procured by Father Mackin
from Bishop Curtis, Vicar General of

1t in the absence of Cardinal Gibbons.
The ceremony was performed with
the ring according to the nuptial rites
of the Catholic church. Including the
address of Father Mackin it consumed
less than five minutes.
Father Mackln was the first to hail

NEARLY KNOCKED OUT.
Two Ellwood City Men Had a Close
Shave For Their Lives.

NEW CASTLE, Pa, Nov13.-Ellwood
City, this county. is greatly excited over
what looks like an attempt at a double
murder, and the case has just been re-
ported to the authorities. The victims
Of the attempt are e. j. Walsh, baker,
employed by A. w. Yahn, and Lee Wier
who acts as a driver for the same man.
The occurrence happened a night or two
ago. =
The two men slept together in the
room above the bake shop, and their
sleeping apartment was the scene Of the
attempted murder Mr.. Yahn appeared
at the bake shop about 9 o'clock In the
morning and was surprised to find that
neither of the men had put in an ap-
pearance for work. He became alarmed
and proceeded to their sleeping apart
ment. The door was standing open and
both were unconscious.
Drs. Boyd and Iseman worked with
the two men all morning before they re-
turned to consciousness. Yahn believes
that someone entered the room and tried
to chloroform the men, for there was a
perceptible odor Of that drug about the
place. Nothing was taken from the
room
