FAITH TN THE MARKET
ONCE MORE RESTORED
Many Stocks Score Sharp and
Substantial Gains.
Strength Shown by Sugar Refining
Aids induStrials Generally.
New York Traction shares Advance
with the Prevailing Sentiment
Liquidation Suspended.

New York, June 2-The slight evidences
stock market yesterday were emphasized
today. Yesterday they were more or less
obscured by the continued liquidation in
particular quarters of the market, while
todays dealings indicated that more ur-
gent selling had been concluded. The
market was much less active than on the
two preceding business days of the week.
but interest was fairly well diversified.
The only important development ever
night was the announcement of the ship
ment of sI,0o0.000 gold by Saturdays
steamship. This news took the street by
surprise. as also it did the majority of
dealers in foreign exchange, who were un-
able TO figure out any profit TO the concern
undertaking the business. While there
had been no shipments Of gold expected for
a fortnight al least, the announcement at
tracted very little notice, and the ship
ment was wholly without effect upon the
stock market. The gold will, of course,
be obtained from the clearing house vaults,
which will also supply any other require
ments OF the same nature, hence the mat
ter has none OF the significance of the ex-
ports of the metal in former years.
-
marked improvement in sentiment that was
plainly the result rather than the cause OF
the advance in prices. The latter seemed
to be owing chiefly TO the covering of short
contracts. though there was a moderate in
crease in commission house business,
which was doubtless alike induced by the
apparent elimination of the protracted
liquidation notably in the industrial quar-
ter. There was much talk, indeed, of the
favorable effect likely to follow the dc ar
alton of the initial dividends on Federal
Steel common and American Steel ami
Wire common, which are expected about
the middle of the month. Both stocks ad
vancei rapidly on these expectations, and
their strength extended TO the other in
dustrial issues. Sugar Refining. which was
the feature of the group in respect of ac-
tivity was very strong on the growth of
the belief that the regular dividend Will
be declared next week.
There were noteworthy advances scored
also in the standard issues in which New
York Central, the granger shares and the
Pacific stocks were conspicuous. Among
the specialties Tennessee Coal and Iron was
notably strong II is understood that the
company's statements Of earnings here
after will reflect the results of its opera
tion in new contracts which were made on
much more advantageous terms than those
now expiring. The local traction shares

ment, and in fact the whole list left on,
showing substantial gains on the days

In dealing with times like these the chief
difficulty is to avoid the accents Of extrav
agance. In actual payments through clear
ing houses business is Sc per cent larger
than last year. and 3S1 per cent larger
than in 1892. In railroad earnings. not
withstandlng differences in rates, business
is 81 per cent larger than last year and
21.3 per cent larger than in 1892. More
than twenty years ago the demand for iron
was called the industrial barometer, and it
claims the place yet. when the demand

that S. premium is paid for June or July

boot and shoe manufacturers have shipped

cases. or II per cent more than last year.
Higher prices are being paid quite gener
ally. but quotations have not advanced
per cent during the month. Leather does
not change.
Cotton goods are steady. with increased
demand. notwithstanding higher prices.
The wool spectators seem to be nrepar
ing such trouble for themselves as they
met nearly two years ago. They are buy
ing largely, but manufacturers are not, al
though orders for goods have improved
and the demand from clothiers begins to
encourage agents. Wheat has been lifted

cate little except that Western receipts

against 1S,S7i.S11 last year.
Stocks were so strongly sustained after
former Governor Flowers death that liqui-
dation and reaction a little later were ex-
pected by people OF experience. and they
have come. The average price of rail-
road stocks fell S1.31 per share during the
past week, mainly in street railways. and
the average for industrial stocks declined
SITS per share, reaching lower level
than the lowest on May 13, but railways
recovered 60 cents on Friday, and trusts
nearly a dollar.
Failures for the week have been 145 in
the United States. against 222 last year,
and IA in Canada. against 10 last year.

Charges Husband with Cruelty.

A petition for divorce was filed yester-
day by Mrs Ella B. Bladen, through her
attorney. Edward L. Gies, against her hus
band, James H. Bladen. The immediate
cause of the suit is the alleged cruel treat
ment of Mrs. Bladen on the night of May
81, when she returned from the Moument
Grounds. where she went with another
lady TO view the fireworks during the Peace
Jubilee festivities. On that occasion the
complainant states that her husband on her
return home abused her in the vilest ross-
bic manner, struck her several times in the
face. and threatened to knock her teeth
down her throat. The parties were mar
ried in Maryland in February. 1889.

In the case Of James Norris, who Vas
placed on trial Tuesday charged with
serious offence against a little girl, Judge
Scott yesterday decided to discharge the
prisoner, basing the decision on the
ground that while the defendant helped
the child on a car and asked her to go to
Georgetown with him, there was no law
which covered the case. Judge Scott
stated that he was sorry there was rot.
and expressed the hope that Congress at
its next session would provide one.

A strong, advancing market from the
opening TO the close, and buying by the
leaders of both the bull and the bear
clioues was the entirely encouraging
change in the situation yesterday Prices
went up from point to ten or more from
the low prices of Thursday. and there was
determined buying until the last moment
OF the day. The street is still naturally
much divided as TO the ultimate outcome of
this bulge. II cannot be denied that while
q large part OF the bear contingent is
covering its contracts rapidly and getting
on the long side, there is still much pes
slmism in bear quarters as 10 the intrin-
sic strength of the upward movement.
The talk OF this faction still is that prices
are too high. The faith of the best inter-
cts in the prosperity OF the country and
the sure tendency OF prices to a much
higher level this year. despite fluctuations.
has been reflected in this column from the
beginning, and there is no need of repe-
tition OF the abundant reasons for this
faith. Among the bulls the feeling on
Thursday afternoon was that the turn had
come and the lowest prices been reached.
Some of the strongest houses in Wall
Street began TO advise their customers to
buy stocks on Thursday and continued to
give this advice yesterday. Their belief
Is that the trend of prices from this time
on, for several days at least, will be stead
lily upward. The end OF a bear campaign,
no matter how skillfully bolstered up.
must come in time.
The average advance in prices from the
low of Thursday to the close yesterday
was from two to four points. extreme
gains being as much as six to eleven points.
There we're no declines in the active list,
the movement being remarkably well dis
tributed. The New York Traction shares
and the common steel and iron stocks,
scored the largest gains, and the Wander
bilts, the grangers, the coolers, and the
railroad securities in general, all made
good gains
The grangers are among the favorites
with conservative people. 1t is believed
that the declines of the past weeks have
been much larger in these stocks than
there was any legitimate reason for, and
that they are all likely to regain their lost
ground early in the bull movement The
damage to wheat has been much over
played as q factor and from this time on
careful people believe there will be better
news in this direction. At the same time
the shortage OF wheat in Europe is likely
to be pronounced which will keep the price
up on this side and induce the farmers to
