THE STOCK MARX EFT.
Annual Combination Bull and Bur
Movement.

Annual Combination Bull and Bt'
Movement.
New York, June S.-The com bination
bull movement in wheat and bear move
ment in stocks, which is an annual feat
ure at some period of the growing crop,
made it's appearance to-day. The wheat
market advanced in an excited way on
an increasing volume of rumors of dis
aster to the spring wheat crop in the
northwest Wall street had similar ad-
vices and apparently the conviction that
serious harm has already been done to
the spring wheat gained force steadily
during the day. The reports upon
which conservative Judges placed reli-
ance were supplemented by all kinds of
rumors There is growing uneasiness as
well over the rate situation amongst
railroads west of Chicago. The fact
that the late break in the prices of
western railroad shares was coincident
with the deliberations of the committee
appointed by the presidents Of western
railroads to concert q plan for division
of traffic gave force to the supposition
that the prospect for a satisfactory set
tlement is not very good Coming in
combination with the bad reports from
the wheat crop, this served to effectu
ally break the market and prices went
to pieces in the last half hour of the
trading, the weakness spreading from
the grangers, Pacfics and Southwest
ems into the trunk lines and specialties
- ~ - rl.s
break came after a day of persistent
dullness and irregular fluctuations in
prices. A gain in earnings of the
Northern Pacific of % per cent for the
fourth week in May did not avail to
save that stock from the prevailing
weakness on the unfavorabe crop pros
poets and 1t fell points. Missouri Pa
cific and Baltimore and Ohio showed
weakness before the general break on
fears of disappointment of the hopes
which have been engendered of divi-
dends. There was a relaxation of the
pressure on foreign markets due to ap-
prehenSon over the trouble In China
and London bought stocks here to q
moderate extent, causing some slight
gains early In the day. The estimates
of receipts from the interior are slight
ly in excess of those made last Friday,
but it will be remembered that last
Fridays estimates fell short by $780,
600 of the actual receipts. So that a
gain in cash in to-morrow's statement
would not be surprising. The market
closed active and weak at about the
lowest.
The bond market was very dull and
price changes We're remarkably small.
The total sales, par value, were $1,190,-
O0t.
United States bonds were unchanged
in bid quotations.

Weak at the Close-Features of the Day
as Reported by Prince & Whitley
New York, June S.-London quotations
this morning were slightly above a
parity of yesterdays close, and although
European markets were not very active
their tone, however, was better than
anticipated, considering the reports of
panic and Generalization on the Berlin
bourse as published in one of our lead
ing morning journals. Private advices
from Berlin deprecate these reports, and
some of their home industries, principal
ly the steel and iron propert es they
state that the monetary position in gen
eral was somewhat improved. The Chi
nese imbroglio was looked upon as de-
Veloping more favorable 10 an elnlieable
adjustment. Here the market opened
without change. London was a buyer
to the extent of possibly $4,000 shares
After these orders had been filled our
market relapsed into dullness, and on
further drought in the northwest and
renewed strength of wheat the grang-
ers began to show signs of weakening
a trifle, the professional traders en-
bracing this opportunity to attack the
entire list. While there does not an
pear much disposition to embark into
new ventures there was not any great
pressure on the part of holders to sell

Rev. C. L. Kitchel, instructor in Greek,
will occupy q newly created position in
the administrative government of the

new office have just been announced.
They will be those which the president

On one occasion, Cluny Macpherson,
whose death occurred recently in Scot
land, had dealings in his castle with one
of the very poorest of his clansmen. He
received him in one of the rooms, which
had just been decorated at great expense,
and after their business was transacted,
the chieftain asked: What do think of
this room? The vanishing alone cost me
one hundred and fifty pounds" THAT S
naethin' ava" was the astonishing re-
sponse: 'if you come along tae ma bit
hoose All show We a room that cost faur
mair than that tae be coated" Macpher-
son wondered that he had never heard of
it before, and arranged to call around
and see it. When he visited the place, a
poor-looking, matched little Digging" he
was shown into a room go dark that he
could scarcely see, with it's walls literally
blackened by the smoke from a peat fire.
Here's ma ROOM" exclaimed the tri-
umphant tenant; "a max DOT that it took
five hummer loads O. peat tae coat it, and
at ten shillings the load tina maks two
hummer and fifty pun!'

VESSELS CANNOT SINK.
French engineer, NJ Henri Ma
riolle, claims to have invented a sys-
tenn by which the sinking of ships can
be prevented. Though 1t remains to be
proyed whether it will be practicable
to apply the same on a large scale,
the idea in it's details is, indeed. in
genious NJ Mariolle proposes to at
Itach To the sides of a vessel a large
number of bags. Each of these bags is
to have a capacity of $1,000 litres, and
will be covered by several coats made
lof a mixture of wool, cotton and India
rubber, the latter preponderating.
These bags are to be placed all around
the ships, trifie above the water
line, and can, when empty, be placed
in the holes in the ships sides. A
strong iron sheet then shuts up the
holes containing the bags. From the
lower part of the bags tube leads
tier, closed up at the bottom by little
valve which opens inward; in each bag
there is certain quantity of of cal
cium carbide. In case of an accident
and when the ship begins to sink. ii
cannot dive more than to one-third of
its size, for the water rising around
the vessel opens, by means of pressure,
the valves of the above-described
tubes. penetrates the bags. vets the
lcalcium carbide. and quick develop
ment of acetylene gas takes place,
whereby the bags are inflated, thus re-
moving the sheet iron cover. This pro-
cess is performed within a few seconds
AS all bags work simultaneously, the
vessel is considerably lightened and
kept above water.
Mariolle has calculated that big
ocean steamer can in this manner BE-
, saved from sinking If it's is provided
with $50 of those bags, each containing
80 kilograms of calcium carbide, which
would fill them in case of an accident
, with 2,250,090 litreS of acetylene gas
