ALL GRADES OF
 STOCK SUFFERED Recent Unexplained Advances Are Fast Melting Away BONDS WERE ALL WEAK coaers Had the Additional Burden of the Strike to carry-The Market
 Closed Steady, With
 Some Recovery.
BONDS WERE ALL WEAK

The heavy decline of over s6,o0OoOo in the cash reserves of the banks had little light thrown upon 1t today and was a good deal of puzzle even to bankers. It was argued that the trust companies might be taking steps to build up their cash reserve 6 accordance with the inti- mation from the clearing house authori- ties and of current public discussion and criticism of the present financial situa- ton. The only additional light on the subject was the report that heavy shipment of cash was made to Philadel- phia last week in furtherance of the transfer of the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf and which did not figure In the routing transactions of the banks. The pressure for funds outside of the stock market was clearly manifest in the sterling exchange market in which there was violent declines of 3hc in the pound. There was large offerings of bankers bills, against further loans negotiated abroad and London was a free buyer of stocks during the first hour, thus help ing out the supply of exchange. The statements of the country's foreign trade for April showed a decline In agricultur- al products in which $15,0OO,0 900 goes to ex- plain the prevailing scarcity of exchange and the persistent firmness of foreign exchange up to today's sharp break. The total sales of stocks for the day, which were not much in excess of half mill lion shares. showed that the liquidation was not large or indiscriminate.
 
 ly also indicate that the high grade of the property was not an exception. It is recognized that high grade stocks have been lifted to prices unwarranted by con- ditions, and eppart ntly the bankers made a syst ematic revision and discrimination in collateral today. The consequence was the melting away of some recent unex- pla.ined advances in some of the most substantial stocks on the list. The coalers had the additional burden of the strike to carry. Union Pacific and Southern Railway were conspicuous for compara- tive firmness during the whole day. The market closed steady at some recovery. Among the days notable declines may be mentioned General Electric, 12, with a recovery of 8; Western House Electric Il, the first preferred 91s; North Ameri- can 6; Delaware and Lackawanna 13; Chicago St. Paul, Minneapolis and Oma- ha 101a; New York, New Haven and Hartford 8; Chicago and Northwestern 6B; Delaware and Hudson 4S; Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville 5A; New Jer- sey Central f; Long Island A. The list of declines running from 1 to is too long for enumeration here. Money went to 10 per cent today, and receded to 6 only after the principal demand was satisfied. Bonds were weak in sympathy with stocks. Total sales, par value, $3,240,0 900.

New orIeans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, May 12.-The market for spot cotton was quiet to the point of dull ness during the early portion of the day. There was some looking about among sample rooms on the part of buyers, and an ample supply, fairly well assorted. was found to meet all requirements. Sales were 200 bales. including 50 to arrive Quotations 1sc lower on all grades. Trad Ing was measurably active in the direc- ton of contract deliveries today, but this was due to some extent to an early tip received by the talent anent prospective Houston receipts, since there was some buying during the morning hours at prices that, despite the apparent weak points above Saturdays closing. But there was an early and radical change in the situation when the profit taking be- gan. The gains on the day were soor lost and prices continued to recede slow ly to the end of the session, the net losses being to g points.

ENGINEER FRED BREWER
INvENTs FIRE BOX OPENER

Moline Dispatch: Engineer Fred
Brewer. one of the veterans of the
Rock Island road. has invented n
patent fire-boX opener which has all
the earmarks of continuance that
the railroads have been looking for
to economic on heat and enhance
speed.
Mr.. Brewer has one of his inven-
tions in successful use ON his engine
the 1901. which pulls the fastest
trains on the road-and practical
railroad men generally agree that the
device is worthy of general adoption.
y long chain fastened 10 the fire
box is the usual means OF opening
the furnace and experienced tremen
have Il trick of opening and closing
it without much loss of heat. but
with inexperienced men there is,
considerable loss of speed from the
cold draught ON the fire, when every
pound of steam counts ON the fast
trains. Mr.. Brewers device works
automatically, and the door is open
ed or closed by the simple touch of
the foot on pedal.
The simplicity of the invention and
The little space il occupies are points
in favor OF its adoption. 1t is con
structed ON the fireman's side of the
cab. \ supply pipe is attached 10 the
air on the engine, and fills Il valve
which hangs at the side OF the boiler.
The action of Il second valve working
upward gives motion 10 Il larger valve
running into Il large tube. in which is
Il small spring. This valve is connect
4 /
sections and attached 10 the furnace
door. When the pedal is worked
with the feet the door is opened and
shut with such rapidity that little. If
any, strength to the engine is lost.
