STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June Absolute stagnation
characterized the stock market today. BY
comparison with yesterday the tone was
firm, but that was only because the bears
somewhat over-extended their commit
ments on the short side yesterday. 1t
was evident that the late selling yester-
day was based upon the expectation that
selling by London this morning would off
err an opportunity to get back stocks
at a lower level. London did, in fact, sell
stocks here on moderate scale, but the
demand from the shorts was sufficient
to overcome the decline, and to make
some show of strength in the market.
The bulls attempted to stimulate the
movement by bidding up the Coalers on
vague talk of further comprehensive trait
ic agreements. This manoeuvre proved
ineffective and the market relapsed to
about last nights level and never got
far away from it again In either direc
ton. New York Air Brake was rushed
upward 12R points on talk of absorption
by the Westinghouse Company. 1t saved
a point net gain. In American Sugar
there was a demand from an uneasy
short interest which had been over-eX
tended during the decline of the last few
days and the stock gained over a point
net The loaning rates on stocks dis
closed the existence of quite large out
standing short interest we'll distributed
throughout the list. With an entire lack
of animation in speculative spirit, the pro-
fessional traders are disinclined to furth-
er commitments on the short side. There
was no further evidence today of the
selling through commission houses which
was called outside liquidation yesterday.
The incidents of the day, taken in them
selves, indicated declining values for Sc
curities, but these incidents had been
anticipated, and therefore, the movement
of prices was discounted. The iron
stocks were rather firm on the SUPPOSE
ton that the cut in prices has brought
step nearer the resumption of the expect
ed buying demand. Many alarmist re-
ports were current concerning the North
western wheat crop. The continued
heaviness of foreign stock markets on
account of the complications in China had
sympathetic effect here. The selling

COTTON.
New York. June THE feature of to-
DAYS news in the cotton market was the
Chronicles acreage estimate. and as the
figures given exceeded expectation a de-
cline in prices naturally resulted While
fluctuations during the day were of fair
scope, the net change was not particularly
gratifying to either side. The market
opened steady with prices points lower
TO | point higher, but almost Immediately
turned weak in response to sharp break
in Liverpool and under an estimate for an
increase of 9.76 per cent. in this years
acreage to 24,625 acres. On this down
turn considerable liquidation occurred for
both foreign and domestic accounts while
shorts increased obligations under the
firm conviction that the situation war
ranted a decline to below the eight cent
mark for August. But while in the midst
of their jubilation the bears were con-
fronted with sudden reaction in Liver
pool and brisk demand from influential
outside parties here. Prices quickly re-
turned to last nights level on this sup
port and scored a slight gain before a
breathing spell was taken. But the Liv-
erpool final cables in hand of room trad
ers subsequently assumed the defensive
and gave attention to settlement of unpro-
tected accounts as a matter of precaution
owing to holiday in Liverpool tomorrow
and Saturday, and to an unusual diverg-
ence of opinion concerning the probable
outcome of Mondays bureau report, the
first of the season Moreover, very little
news came to hand in the afternoon and
orders were also few and far between

Sluthern Women Will Not Sell
 Keirlooms to Northern Dealers

The rage for beautiful old furniture has increased the intrinsic value of heir looms in southern families, and the eastern deal- CTS in antiquities annually send their rep rescntatives to the south in the search for rare old furniture, silver and china that they hope can be bought as cheaply as possible. It seems difficult to believe that any relic hunter would meet with the slightest degree of encouragement in the south, where the women would no more think of selling their heir looms than they would their lives But there may have been impoverished conditions that neces- sitated the giving up of articles to which they were attached but the instances must have been few and far between, for south ern homes are today filled with heir looms,
 and the southern woman treasurers the

The Coli Widow,

The golf widow is being discussed pa thetically and yet very little sympathy has been expressed for her, which is due to the popular sentiment that any one who is fool enough not to play the game deserves any hard luck she gets. There are really no golf widows in Birmingham, for the enthusiasts here included both men and women, and numbers of the married set are always seen on the links. But on other links it has come to be noticed that married men do not play golf with their wives, and the golf widows are wofully in evidence at the country places. The mar ried woman who does not play golf must give up her husband while unless she is an expert, he will not be seen with her on the links. The woman who does not go in for the game prays for rain, while of course the golfer wants fair weather. but a summer of continuous rain is said to be the only means of decreasing the number of golf widows. The married women who play golf here are not only enthusiasts but put up as good game as their hus- bands, and the family is not separated on the links. so that Birmingham women will find it difficult to believe that there is such a person as a golf widow, but that she does exist on the eastern links Is proved by the following comments from
The age-herald., 1900-06-24

a New York paper that after speculating as to the possibility of her understanding the game at al goes to say that if she plays she probably has only the mel ancholy satisfaction of occasionally seeing the flutter of her husbands golf coat across a far bunker. It is a devoted and self-sac- ritcing man who plays golf with his own wive, save at rare intervals, when no man friend is in sight or when he feels in- clined to show his proud superiority by a little valuable instruction. FlatteI~ judi ciously administered, will also bring the family occasionally together on the links. If a wife can only seduce herself to a con dtion of awe-struck appreciation and knows just enough about the game to won der and adore in technical terms. she may be allowed to trail around the links with her husband, but it takes tact to achieve this proud distinction. The most sSe gun hope for under ordinary circumstances Is to lunch or dine with her golf-smitten husband, and hear him fight his battle over again: but that is better than dining and lunching alone, and she may prevent com plete and final arrangement.
 ."rhe wife of a commuter has an especial hard time. He is so hurried, and he really doesn't have time to go home at all, save for the purpose of sleep Yet after all the city man does the same thing, and 1t is harder for his wife to follow him to the links than it is for the wife of the com muter to follow him. The business man does not go home from the office to change his clothes He keeps golf togs in his locker at the club. As early as he can he leaves the office, races for a train, goes straight for the links, plays until dark and dimes at the clubhouse, where he and the other men tell what would have happened if what did happen hadn't happened. Later he goes home so tired and sleepy that he does not stand upon the order of his go- ing to bed, but goes at once, unless he stays awake long enough to tell his wife about his phenomenal dive from the sixth tee and the spectacular long put by which he halved the seventh hole. If she doesn't know the tee from lemonade, so much the worse for her. The golfer goes to the office early so that he can get away early, and in the gray dawn he talks across the breakfast table about the virtues of his new brassy and the approach he has learned Then he goes off wondering whether the weather will be too heavy for good work across the green, and calling back over his shoulder that he will not be back at home for dinner unless it rains hard.
 It is said that countless golf widows are praying for rain as ardently as a Texas farmer in time of drought. A wet season is their only hope, and the wetness must he of the wettest variety. No ordinary driz- gle will stop golf game All that the golf widow can do is to get in the game whether she likes it or not"
The age-herald., 1900-06-24

look at some cut glass that she was finally willing to sell, as she was in trouble and seemed to think that the glass was val uable enough to help her out of her em- barrassments. As matter of fact it was not genuine cut class, but an imitation, and the glasses were worth very small sum. She did not, of course, want to sell them after she heard this, but it was pa thetic to see her face when told her how little she could expect to get for them.
 "Some very beautiful things are still to be found in old southern homes that have never come into the market, and are so much priZed by their owner that they probably never will. And much that is of- fered there has merely fictitious value, the result of the affection which the owner feels for any heirloom, and of the mis- taken impression that anything old enough must be worth a great deal. Many articles at one time costly, have greatly declined in value. China, for instance, is brought from the Orient at such little expense that what commanded a high price forty years ago is now within the reach of everybody. In the south there is a great deal of this old china, which is worth less today than when it was bought"
