STOCK MARKET FEATURES
As Reviewed by the House of Prince
 Whitely.

w llI6Iy.
 New York, July 15.--Had it not been for the strike news ordered by the dem
 agogues leading the operatives in the steel properties we think to-day's mar ket would not have shown the general weakness 1t did Weather news, for the first time in two weeks, showed at least cloudy condition where no rains had actually fallen, and the wheat and corn markets, as we'll as cotton. show ed in their range of prices that promise of rain where needed. was probable. We have for weeks past been saying that the stock market was a weather market; Chicago and the west in gen. eral, by short sales of stocks, have made the most of it. Prices of securi- ties have declined and the new element in stock speculation has learned what crop scares mean, especially when prices of stocks were high for any pur- pose, speculative or investment, when measured with bonds. At the same time we cannot help but think that the farmers in Wall street are borrowing a great deal of trouble.
 The strike among the steel operatives, not being averted, was sore disappoint- ment to us. In it's qualifications 1t may reach other properties, and, as we have often expressed ourselves when the public press was against the formation of so-called trusts or combinations of community of interests of railroads in which capital could embark only. 1t is now dawning upon the general public that the labor unions are the most vi- cious trusts Of all.
 Money on call was Az per cent. to 1 per cent.
 Foreign exchange was 4.S4% and 4.S7A to 9s.
 The grain market was dominated by the weather reports from the west, and the general sentiment prevailing is that there is little in buying at ruling prices either wheat or corn.
 Cotton opened lower on reported rains In the southwest. New Orleans in her speculation does not evidence much rain having fallen where needed. The belief is that prices will sell lower, but unless good general rains fall soon we think well of purchases on any decline.
 The stock market during the closing hour was quiet but very steady. The recoveries from the morning declines were pretty well maintained and the final close was with tolerably good un- dertone The total sales amounted to 971 800 shares.

BRIDGEPORT STRIKE OVER.
Nearly All of the Machinists Return to
 Work

Bridgeport, July 15.--The machinists' strike was practically declared off this morning, and the great majority of the men returned to their work. A. H. Bullard, the corresponding secretary of the Manufacturers association, said when interviewed that he had been in communication with the various con cerns affected by the strike, and that all except two had all the machinists at work that are needed for the opera tion of their respective plants. The two exceptions would not together employ more than fifteen men, he said He es- timated that the strike had cost the men upward of $100,000 in wages. The manufacturers had not materially spf- fered, he said The only interference the strike had with their business was that they did not take contracts as freely as they would have done if the men were at work. ss
 MT. Bullard had nothing to say as to the reason for the failure of the strike. In fact, he said he did not know that strike was on, that the men went out and came back when they were ready to do so, q

London, where preparations were making to-day for the coming stock exchange settle' ment and whence came stories of the un. willingness of the London banks to make large loans on United States Steel stock. London had in fact effected declines below Saturdays New York parity of 3-4 for United States Steel common and for the preferred before the opening here. The
 for London but the extreme opening de- cline for the common was 1-2 on running
 sales. of 10000 shares and of the preferred 5 points. Speculative Wall street has long
 believed that Il care for the United States
 Steel stocks was the ultimate object of practically all the bull movements iu the stock market that have occurred since these stocks were issued. Speculative Wall street and the outside public at it's back therefore showed extreme alarm over the
 violent slump in the steel stocks and saw
 visions of catastrophe. Brokers offices were busy with preparations to meet the crisis before the opening here and oven yesetrday. But it soon became evident that whatever preparations had been necessary to enable the friends of the United States Steel stocks to withstand the pressure upon them had been made last week. The re- lief afforded by last weeks liquidation was an important factor in to-day's upward re- action in all stocks The larger portion of the cash received from the interior last week by the banks is reported to have been for the purpose of restoring Impaired mar gins on stocks.
 It Is considered worthy of note that the Chicago premium on New York exchange fell from p cents last week to cents to- day.
 The rally in the market was very feverish and cratic until the opening prices in the corn market disclosed the weakness of that cereal on the prospects of rain in the corn belt The continued weakness of corn was an influential factor in the sustained recov- cry of stocks. The opening declines in the leading grangers and Pacific Southwestern reached from to , points, Union Pacific leading. Elsewhere in the list the losses ran vurously from ] to points. The re- covery in the United States Steel stocks was not so well sustained as in others, the common closing 3 Is lower than on Satur day and the preferred 7-S.

TO PROTECT ELM TREES.
State Entomologists Tells How to Kill
 tka RpetlpS

State Entomologists Tells How to Kill
 the Beetles,
 w. E. Britain, state entomologist, has issued the following bulletin re- garding the ravages of the elm tree beetle, with suggestions for It's eradi- cation:
 New Haven. July 15, 1901,
 In many Connecticut towns and cit les and especially in New Haven the elm leaf beetle has this season caused much injury to elm trees that might have been prevented by spraying poison on the foliage early in May to kill the adult beetles. Failing to do this, another spraying about the first of June would have prevented injury from the caterpllars. It Is now too late to apply poison as the injury has been done, and the caterpilars are crawl ing down the trees in great numbers seeking sheltered place In which to transform. All do not come down the trunk, however, as many drop from the branches to the ground, while some lodge in crevices of the rought bark of the trunk and larger branches, and there undergo their change to the pupa stage. But large proportion may be found on the ground at the base of the tree, where they may be collected by the quart in some cases. It is an easy matter to destroy these pupae and 1t should be done at once, thus greatly the crop of egg laying beetles for next year
 Where city authorities are not pre- pared to act citizens and residents should do so, each looking after the trees on and in front of his own prop erty or residence.
 To kill the insects spray the ground under the tree, and the trunk and lower branches if possible, with soap or mechanical emulsion of kerosene and water containing 10 per cent. of kerosene This will kill all pupae with which it comes in contact. and will not injure the trees or grass. Whale oil and common soaps are also effective if dissolved in water (one pound In five gallons) and applied as a spray. If pump is not available, the soap solution may be sprinkled on the insects with pot. By prompt and thorough action on the part of both public officials and residents much can be done in this way to prevent injury to the elm trees next season.
