STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June 6-The dealings in
low level of activity of the year and the
days changes are narrow and unimpor-
tant. So far as they are gains, they
are the residue of little squirt in prices
with which the day started. 1t was
caused by a rumor that the coal strike
had been settled, which came by the way
oil London with light volume of cabled
orders to buy, the origin of which was
as doubtful as that of the rumor. This
was undoubtedly ruse and was designed
as a counter move to yesterdays report
set afloat by the bears of the sudden death
of an aged financier. The principal buy
ing came from yesterdays short sellers,
and as soon as the rumor was authorita-
lively denied the buying movement fell
away and the market fell back into its
state of neglect. There was a sharp
rally in Canadian Pacific on resump-
tion of the pool operations in that stock
and this movement had some sympathetic
influence on the rest of the list. Amer
lean Sugar at one time recovered all
of its quarterly dividend on the score
of an advance in prices in some grades
of sugar. None of these movements was
maintained. The later market was in
clined to depression and there seemed
feeling of resignation to a season of
dullness. Opinions from abroad are cur
rent that there will be no notable re-
vival in foreign markets as the effects
of the declaration of peace until after
the English coronation. The continuance
of the coal strike, which seems to prom
Use indefinite prolongation, will also be
a damper on any speculative enthusiasm.
The assembling of the soft coal miners
in the Virginia and West Virginia fields
and reports that they will go on strike
gives color to the apprehension of ar
extensive spread of labor trouble. The
strength of today's corn market and the
reports which accompanied it of Excess
sive rains and floods in the Southwest
were reminder of the possibilities of
the future mishaps to the corn crop, and
an incentive to caution against specula-
tive commitments on that score. The
bank statement promises to be colorless.
The market closed stagnant.
The bond market was also less active
and the movement of prices narrow and
irregular Total sales (par valuej S.,
co, 900.
United States bonds were all unchanged
on the last call.
The total sales of stocks today were
225 800 shares, including the following:
Atchison 5000; Canadian Pacific 2S,100;
Manhattan Elevated 10000; Philadelphia
and Reading $1,000; Chicago, Milwaukee

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York. June 6-The cotton market
opened steady with prices unchanged to
three points lower and settled another
point or so after the call under scatter
ing sales by the bear element and alb
sencc of substantial public support. The
early action of the market was natural
result of weak Liverpool cables de-
cline of half to one point would have
been an ample response there to the
New York decline at the close last night.
Yet the market was off half to two and
q half points at the time of the open
ing here. The crop reports on an aver
age were bearish and leading shorts wero
slow to foresee anything upon which to
hazard a fresh buying movement. But
whole situation in the ring changed de-
cidcdly, and slowly at first, but with in
creasing rapidity, as the day progressed,
prices worked upward. The weather map
gave contin~ed dry weather over the
Eastern ard Western belt and the fore
cast gave little promise of soaking rains
within the next thirty-six hours. Bull
ish weekly figures became a feature in the
carly afternoon and during the last two
hours the market exhibited a very firm
front on active buying for both accounts.
A single block of $4,000 bales of March
changed hands at 1856 on the mid after
loon call with 5000 bales more wanted at
the sasHc price, by--the same buyer.
The worlds visible supply was shown to
have lost $4,000 bales, against $4,000
bales decrease same week last year; the
American visible lost 900 bales against
JOS. 0eO0 bales the same week last year.
Superintendent King gave the Tin sight"
for the week as 1854 bales, as against
estimates of 5000 to $4,000 bales

WIS, Goodyear, Travelling SaIeS-
 man, Cannot be Located
THINKS HE MET FOUL PLAY
Left Chattanooga May 1, and Has Not Written Wlfe-She Makes Vain
 Efforts to Find Hlm-Sald
 to Have Acted Strangely

Mrs. w s. Goodyear of Chattanooga Is very anxious to locate her husband w. s. Goodyear. who disappeared mysteriously from Birmingham about six weeks ago. He left Chattanooga on May l and reg istered at the Florence Hotel May 1.-The last heard from him was on May 6, when he sent to the hotel for his grips and sample cases
 Since he left Chattanooga Mrs. Good year has keard nothing from her hus- band although she has made repeated eff forts to locate him. She has written sev- eral letters to the Florence Hotel asking if they can trace the missing man, but they have been unable to do so, although they have tried several times
 It is now believed by Mrs. Goodyear that her husband has met with foul play. She states he was a man of sober habits and showed a great devotion for his family. He was highly thought Of by his employers, a large wholesale drug firm of Chattanooga.
 What has become of MT. Goodyear is a mystery. Many in Birmingham know him by name and describe him as a tall blonde No one seems to know where or when they have seen him, nor the circumstances. Several of the policemen remembered the name when asked about htn.
 One of the clerks at the hotel stated that MT. Goodyear was out a great deal at night, but that he did not think he was drinking. At times he Is said to have talked strangely, leading to the belief that he was temporarily deranged.
 It was the belief of the clerk at the Florence that he is living on the South side, but he has been unable to locate him there. although he has made several trips in that section of the city. The letters received at the hotel from his wife have been very urgent and pitiful, caus- ing the manager to make every effort to locate him. Goodyear's wife and five children live in Chattanooga.

MT. r. A. Lapham, sales agent of tl.e Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Com pany, has resigned to accept a similar position with the Lackawana Steel Com pany. MT F. S. Burr has been appointed to succeed him. These changes become eff fective July l.

PALMA OBJECTS
 TO REBATE PLAN
IN VIEW OF THIS FACT THE PRES DENT MAY DROP THE HOUSE AND BEGIN NEGOTIATIONS FOR A TREATY.

Washington June 16.-President Palma of Cuba has indicated to President Roose- velt his conviction that the rebate propo- sition relative to Cuban sugar would be not only very objectionable in Itself. but would be extensively expensive, and al- most impossible to carry out in the distri- button.
 It Is not stated that this proposition was communicated to President Roosevelt, but it is assumed that Secretary Hay was the medium, having been acquainted with Senor Quesada, the Cuban minister, or President Palma's opinion on this sub- Ject.
 Should 1t become apparent that there is no possibility of an agreement between the Senate and House upoh the pending reciprocity propositions, then the Presi- dent probably will endeavor to simplify the problem by dropping the House out of the calculation and negotiating treaty directly with President Palma It Is true such a treaty would require the approval of two-thirds of the Senate, but it Is believed that under the changed con- ditions this would not be impossible of attainment At any rate the situation would be clarified by the omission of the House from the calculation. and hence 1t Is that the project Is being earnestly con- sidered.

Summer Amusememts
AT EAST LAKE.

People in Birmingham who fail to see the show at East Lake this week are missing a good thing. The ride to East Lake alone on fast trolley cars should be sufficient these hot nights to take anyone, who is not old and rheumatic, away from the stuffy and dusty air of the city where the breezes blow fresh from the hills and full of life. When it Is considered that a really good show by clever artists in one of the coolest and best summer theatres in the south awaits you at the end of the ride there is no reason why anyone should not take the advice of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company, so often reiterated-to follow the crowds to East Lake.
 The programme for the present week is the best yet presented by the Web- ster Syndicate. The speciality act of Ascott and Eddy is as good as anything that can be seen at New York roof garden, or anywhere else for that mat ter. Nettie de Courcey is all right. and the other artists are clever and amusing. The biograph Is particularly good.
