three brothers furnished most of the skin
that was used. The rest was taken from
the sufferers own body.
Many of the pieces did not attach, and
after two months Of patient work there

accomplished was destroyed. DR.. Sehaef-

succeeded. An irregular band of skin
formed around the patients head. The

STOCK MARKET
 HAD NO BACKBONE Yielded Readily to the Assaults
 from the Bears. LONDON WAS NOT A BUYER
Spectators Who Had Bought Stocks Last Week Counted on London Tax ing Them After Outburst Over
 the Relief of Mafeking

New York, May 21-The stock market was soft from the outset today and yielded readily to the assault of the bears. There was practically no buying demand of any importance perceptible, and prices lost ground pretty steadily all day, even on light volume of trading. Late in the alter noon Third Avenue made sudden advance of 6 points and caused some uneasiness among the room shorts, who bought moder- ately to cover; but the rally was insignih- cant out of Metropolitan, Brooklyn Transit, Sugar and Tobacco
 The sudden upward movement in Third Avenue was unexplained except by last weeks move to secure the discharge of the receiver, and the progress being made in the betterment of the system. The long standing short interest in the stock was aimed at by the old advance. The heaviness of the market during the day reflected the keen disappointment over the failure of last weeks encouraging developments to attract an outside demand.
 It was evident that London had been looked to hopefully to take up American stocks, and the early news from that quar- ter showed declines for the international stocks was a disappointment The sales for London account were not in large vol tune, but their effect was decisive and soon ovrcame the strength in the new specialties which attempted to make headway against trade. It was clear that speculators who bought stock late last week counted upon London taking them off their hands after that market had subsided from its hysteri- cal outburSt over the relief of Mafeking. But London shared with the continental Bourses a mood of depression Interna- tional houses in Wall street attributed this to the disappointment over the denial of the report hat President Kruger had made humble advances for peace and Berlin ad- vices reported fears of an outbreak between Russia and Japan.
 Bonds were much better sustained rela- lively than stocks, though there weak spots in the list. The accumulation of idle funds seeking investment is making some slight impression on the bond market.
