SOFT FROM IBE START
Stocks Yield Readily to Bear
OnslaughtS.
MIGHTY LITTLE BUYING
Prices Lose Ground Steadily
All Day.

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 perceptibie.
and prices lost ground pretty steadily all
day. even on light volume OF trading.
Late in tina afternoon Third Avenue
made a sudden advance of 8 points and
caused some uneaSiness amongst the
room shorts, who bought moderately to
cover. But the rally was Insignificant
outside OF Metropolitan, Brooklyn Tran
sit, Sugar and Tobacco. The sudden up
ward movement in Third Avenue was
unexplained, except by last weeks move
rnent to secure the discharge of the re-
ceiver and the progress being made in
the betterrnent OF the system. The long
outstanding short interest in the stock
was aimed at by the advance. The heay-
mess Of the market during nte day re-
fiected the keen disappointment over the
failure Of last weeks encouraging de-
velopments TO attract any outside de-
mand. It was soon evident that London
especially had been looked TO hopefully
to take up American stocks and the
early morning news from that quarter
showing declines for the international
stocks vas disappointing. The sales for
London account We're not In large vol

soon overcame the strength in the few

Roadway against the tide II was clear
that SPECTATORS who bought stocks late
last week counted upon London taking
them off their hands after :hat market
had subsidized from its hysterical outburst
over the relief Of MafekiDg. But Lon
don shared with the continental bourses
a mood OF depression. international
houses in Wall Street attributed this 10
appointment over the denial Of the re-
port that President Kruger had made
b umble advances for peace. and Berlin
advices reported fears of an outbreak
between Russia and Japan. In the New
York market the Changers and the Pa

Of weakness, but ultimately practically
all OF the active railroad stocks fell

announcement OF advances in the price

DRY GOODS MARKERS

New York, May 2L-The demand on
account of the home trade shows no
change, buyers still adhering TO a con-
sentative policy. On export account
there has been less business doing than
last week. The tone Of the market IS
without change. Stocks in first hands are
light still and sellers are not under any
pressure. Print cloths continue idle and
prints without change. In other depart
ments without special feature.

JAKY, WATTS FER ME-,
But Jaky Had No Time to Spare
Just Then.
Phe Blue Wing Gang Takes Three
a.. AEl.t
"InnOCents," Out to See
THE CITY BY MOONLIGHT

The gay boys of our city had
great fun one night not long since
Three gentlemen of questionable
NATURALIZATION we will call JAG
OBJ, Reuben and Moses-who had
been sOjourneying here for several
days expressed a desire to see the
city by moonlight or electriclight.
The Blue Wing Gang hearing of
this rendered its services to Jacob
and his friends and proceeded
to show them good time 'gener-
ally. All was as merry as "mar-
riage bells until a couple in the
gang got into a dispute over some
trivial matter and pulled from
their pockets 'little cannons" and
began a bOmbardment equal to
that of the historic Santiago cam
paign and the strangers who were
evidently not in the habit of smell
ing smoke and thinking possibly
they would become another Moro
Castle, started to leave the scene of
action in a great hurry. Jacob,
more fortunate than the rest, was
close to window through which
he made his exit carrying the sash
on his shoulders.
Reuben, at this juncture cried
out, "Jaky waits fer me-" but Jaky
thought he had done his part in
making the opening, and responded
"Vaits the devil, I'm gone"
But Jaky was Handicapped, the
heavy sash somewhat putting a
check to his fight and he, was soon
oyertaken by his two friends.
They entered the hotel lobby 81
multaneously and each proceeded
in his own way to tell of the terri
BILE catastrophe, Jaky still bearing
the sash as a silent witness. And
the hotel clerk had to drown his
surprise and fears in several glass
es of red lemonade before he could
fully comprehend the situation.
Jacob and his friends left the
city the next day sader but wiser
men.

As the crowd was assembling at

for the windup at the Fasig Upton
sale, dozen or more negroes, stable
men and csre-takers, who came up
with the Kentucky horses consigned
to the sale, happy that their work was
finished and they were about to start
for their Bluegrass home, gathered
on the North side of the garden, and
sang . Il Kentucky Home" and 9TH

manner of field hands on the plants-

For a moment the crowd could not
realize wn4t WAS going on, but as the
clear, full voices of the Kentucky
