lower. Receipts of new potatoes are increas-

Day Of Disquieting RumOrs, but the
Market Holds Very Well.
Meyer & Kiser's telegram

lMeyeT 0 hisei ieiesioh'I
NEW YORK, June 4.-The market was
one of disquieting rumors. The severe
break in Copper caused considerable SELL
ing by Boston houses and gave rise to
rumors of troubles in that city. These
were all promptly denied by leading houses
in Boston. but the entire room was imbued
with the feeling that there was trouble
somewhere. The weakness In Pennsylvania
also had depressing effect and caused
short selling of other stocks. During the
last half hour great pressure was brought
to bear on the market, and IL was surpris-
ing that 1t did not yield. Outside of Cop
per and Pennsylvania the market seemed
grain, which apparently confirmed the
crop damage reports, also caused some
selling.

IA. r. Thompson & Co.'S Telegram1
NEW YORK, June 4.-Conditions count
for little in this market now. Commission
houses are doing very little and the trading
by what are called professionals is unex-
planned except by the general talk on the
exchange, which is that heavy local hold
ers have been hard hit in many under
writing schemes. the securities of the con-
Germs taken over being practically unsala-
BILE. Boston was a heavy seller in the last
hour, which was considered to he especial
" unfavorable. There seems to be no news
but stocks keep coming out without any
reason being given. The close was rather
demoralized.

NEW YORK, June 4.-The dry goods market
conditions more favorable than they have
been at any time this week. Conservatism is
the keynote Of buyers actions. and the steady,
firm position OF the sellers in regard to conces-

goods has not influenced the buyer TO any more
liberal purchases. Jobbers have been doing an
Indifferent business throughout the week, and

liberal buying as long the effects of foods ar d

daily ration made up as follows; Pulp,
55 pounds; mixed hay, SO pounds
shredded corn slower, pounds; ground
grain, ? A pounds. The daily ration Of
the second lot was: Mixed hay ll.5
pounds; shredded corn slower s; grain
1.5 pounds. 1t will be noticed that the
second lot was fed only grain and ordi
binary forage, when the first lot was
fed the same and in addition sugar beet
pulp. The results were as follows The
lot of steers receiving pulp in their
daily ration made up an average daily
gain of 1.42 pounds. The lot receiving
no pulp made an average daily gain Of
o ga pounds. Director Smith in his re-
port on this experiment. says:
Comparing the amount OF food con.
sumed by each pen to produce the net
pounds gained and comparing from
this data the value OF q ton of pulp as
an additional succulent fodder, the
test shows that under conditions ex-
listing ton Of pulp fed with other factors
In che ration took the place Of 42l. 3
pounds Of corn slower, 274 pounds Of
mixed hay, and 6S.S pounds OF grain"
HE calls attention to the fact that
the grain and forage fed to these two
lots Of cattle were not Of the best quality, |
and. while the pulp fed steers made re.
markable gains over the others, IL must
not be taken as absolutely proven that
this should have happened had the food |
of the second lot been of the best quality |
He also calls attention to the rule of
scientific experiments that the result Of
no single experiment must be taken as
establishing definite facts such ex.
periments should be repeated before &C.
cepting the results rs conclusive.
