NET GAINS SHOWN
 IN MANY STOCKS But Bulls Failed to Realize Their
 Expectations. FINAL PRICES WERE LOWER The Opening Rise Was in Sympathy With London, and Was Attri- buted to the Effect ot
 the Chinese War

Wall Street, New York, June 26-The bull contingent in stocks. rallied to realize their expectations today, though the changes at the close show net gains for the majority of stocks. Final prices, how ever, were considerably below the best and the tone of the market during the latter part of the day was decidedly unsettled, and spotty in spite of the sustaining in- fluences of notable strength in some stocks. The opening rise was in sympathy with London, and was attribated to the effect of news from China of the relief of Tien Tsin. Later advices showed that the pe- riodical settlement in London had disclosed an unexpectedly large bear account in Americans, and the London buying was the covering of short contracts. It was es- pecially effective in some of the southern railroad stocks The New York market, however, showed itself indifferent to the progress of events in China, as it has con sistently done throughout, and the opening advance was largely lost.
 The first rally in the market followed the sharp break in the wheat market and was noticeable in the southwestern grangers, especially Burlington and Atchison pre- ferred. Crop news continued bad from the spring wheat region, but the spectators who have been buying wheat are evident ly impressed with the willingness of the farmers to take the price offered. and the wheat market showed continued realiza- tion today, with a reverse sympathetic eff feet on grain-carrying railroads. Time money continues to improve, but call loans are still very easy.
 Some of the speculative bonds show sharp recoveries, but the market generally was irregular. Total sales, par value, S,07OOO0. United States s. coupon, advanced Ac in the bid price.

SHORTS AGAIN
 GOT 4 SHAKE UP Friends of Cotton Again Received
 aSet Back. DECLINE WAS LOOKED FOR The Weekly Government Crop Report Showed Worse Conditions in Cot ton Belt and Shorts Imme-
 diately Took Flight
DECLINE WAS LOOKED FOR

New York, June 26.-Shorts were given another severe shake up in today's cotton market and friends of the staple failed to escape occasional set backs. Before the opening the room trade seemed to believe the advance which started ten days ago had run it's course and that in fact as a whole it warranted speculation on the bear side.
 The cables were considerably better than anticipated but after opeing 1 to 10 points higher in response to the firmness in Liv- erpool the market quickly dropped back to last nights prices, investment support failing to develop, and at midday showed a degree of feebleness not before noticed in several days.
 The weekly government crop report was received shortly after l o'clock and proved decidedly worse than anticipated declaring that fields were being abandoned in bot tom lands of the central belt owing to ex- cessive growth of grass, with lice doing se rious damage in otter sections. Shorts i'm mediately took flight and in their rush to protect oyersold accounts forced prices up to level of 25 points above last nights closing. Very little investment business came in on the advance, however, and with bear wants satisfied, prices began to crumble under realizing on a generous scale.
 The entire list suffered in the relapse and for the rest of the session the market was exceedingly irregular with both bulls and bears exhibiting distrust. The close WAS very steady at a net advance of F to 20 points.

THE American army ought not to

He is just where he belongs. 1t ought
to be the pleasure. as it Is certainly the
duty, of the Government to put him
in the regular service and allow him to
pass the rest of his life in the we'll
earned peace of the retired list"
This would be but simple justice.
Wheeler has not By any means received
the treatment his services and his sac
rifices have deserved. The time has
happily come when every section of the
country would be gratihed to see Joe
Wheeler an officer of the regular army
