SEA MONSTER AGAIN.
Annual Appearance Of the Leviathan
of the Deep.

HALIFAX, N s.. May 13-The sea mon
ster has been seen. There have been mon
sters, but none like this one. The steamer
Assyrian, which arrived here this after
noon. met it. Her captain furnishes the fol-
lowing: Friday afternoon in latitude $3.50
north and longitude 1872 west we saw what
looked like large cable buoy. We decided
to beat down upon it. AS we approached it
soon ascertained that II was a living
monster. We circled around 1t. Some of the
passengers thought IL was a sea serpent
The impression that IL was a whale was
dispelled by its enormous size and peculiar
shape The leviathan was over one hundred
feet long. The body resembled half of
balloon inflated. The head was about half
the size of that Of whale and seal-like in
appearance. The tail extended about thirty
feet from the balloon-shaped body. What
appeared to be ribs stood out like whip
cords in bands its sides. When the
steamer came near the monster IL displayed
its immense fins. It's body was forty feet
out of the water and very wide am posi-
tive 1t was not a whale. never saw thing
like Il before"

the decrease reported by the Chicago, Mil
waukee & ST. Paul for the first week in
May OK gross earnings compared with last
year. This Is the first decrease reported
by this road for any week since the sum-
rner of 1898. The facts that the decrease
was small, that last years earnings for
the same period were at an unprecedented
level and that this years earnings re-
manned above those for any preceding first

not prevail against the impression created
by the word decrease"

cial demand for gold from Europe. On the
other hand, should trade revive In the In
terror, with the lower prices of commodi-
ties, and the money market become more
active. any stringency on foreign markets
might become embarrassing. The volume
OF American credits now placed In foreign
leans makes the home money market more
than ever sensitive to the course or Tor
eign markets. The statement for the past
week of the great government banks
abroad show that money conditions there
are easier for the time being, il spite OF
the stronger position of these institutions.

and Closed at Advances.

CHICAGO, May 12.-Liquidation of long
corn, wheat and oats was again the fea-
ture on the Board of Trade to-day. The
decline brought out demand, however,
and the close shows a fair recovery July
corn closed &c under yesterday; July
wheat a shade improved and July oats
&c down. Provisions were quiet, closing
at small gain over yesterday.
The corn liquidation was the feature on
Change. Trade began with the market
steady, but it speedily turned weak. The
weather favorable for planting. the proved
inability of the remaining bulls in the mar
ket to hold in the face of the poor ex-
port inquiry. and change of general specu-
lative sentiment, encouraged more short
selling. which, in turn, caused liquidation.
Following the opening the long stuff came
out in heavy lots and the pit was very
animated July opened at 371ac to 377sc and
sold off in short order to 36ssd36lkc. Then
the market gradually recovered to 37Ac
at which it closed, &c under yesterday
Receipts were 166 cars.
The wheat market opened steady, be-
cause cables were less weak than had been
expected in view of the decline here the
previous session. The corn weakness soon
made itself felt, however, the opening hav-
ing been at 657sG66c, and July sliding off,
under active selling, to 65AG65i4c. rredic-
tions of rain in the Northwest were also
an influence in the selling as that section
of the wheat growing country has been
clamoring for moisture for some time
Shorts covered on the decline, and as
prices had declined rather temptingly to
buyers, the market rallied and closed with
the early loss nearly all recovered. July
| unchanged from yesterday at sac. At
lantic port clearances in wheat and flour
were equal to 100000 blu. Primary receipts
were 10000 blu, compared with $4,000 last
year. Minneapolis and Duluth received
424 cars. against 315 last week and 236 a
year ago. Local receipts were q cars
none of contract grade
Oats were easy in sympathy with corn
and on stop loss selling by commission
houses. The market still felt the bearish
fine weather was also a bearish influence.
Receipts were 1853 cars. July sold between
221sG2214c and 2112G215sc and closed steady,
Nc under yesterday. at 217sc.
Provisions were quiet and firm, but with
out any notable incident to the trade.
The trade was slow and generally unim-
portant, although the cash demand was
fair, easily equal to the supply. Hogs were
firm and receipts very moderate. July
pork sold between $11.60 and S11.521a, and
closed sc improved at $11.57l2; July lard

part of the week, when in not few in
