An Ocean Voyage Without Crossing
the Atlantic.

1t is a somewhat curious fact that to the
average American can ocean voyage means
q voyage to Europe, which, when he al
lows his thoughts to turn to it as an ex-
perience, presents itself to his mind only
as the long and expensive transatlantic
trip. He seems unaware that it is pos
sible to take an enjoyable ocean voyage, .
coastwise, on luxuriously appointed
steamer at a comparatively slight expen-
diture of time and money. The Merchants
and Miners Transportation Company,
whose ships ply between Boston, Provi-
dence, Baltimore, Newport News, Norfolk,
Savannah and Philadelphia, has, appar-
emily, noted this mental popularity OF the
average American and taken measures to
correct it by issuing handsome folder
full of interesting information about its
line,-its history its vessels, It's rates, It's
routes and its ports. 1t draws most al
Turing picture of ocean-voyaging under
the most comfortable circumstances. No
Transatlantic liner is a more luXudiously
appointed floating hotel than is each OF
the big iron and steel ships OF the Mer-
chants & Miners line. NO transatlantic
liner carries it's passengers through such
pleasant waters. If you feel that a brief
and inexpensive sea voyage would be de-
hghtful holiday for you, or if you have
occasion to make journey nofthWafd or
southwark for business, 1T VIII pay you to
write any agent of the company or w. +.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May 25.-The stock market
was subjected to further drastic hqulda-
ton today, carrying prices by broad
margin to a new low level for the year.
The tide of selling was at one time pretty
effectually checked and prices established
at a substantial recovery from the low
point. by the determined support OF i'm
portant banking interests and their per-
sstent bidding up OF prices through the
stream of liquidation. But the pressure
became more severe than ever after the
buying demand was seen to have been en-
tirely withdrawn at the higher level and
prices plunged abruptly from the highest
to the lowest point of the day. There
were some feverish rallies due to the buy
ing to take quick profits by the room
shorts but the closing was unsettled and
unsteady and not much above the low
point on the average. There were no new
development to explain the heavy selling
ana it was evidently due to general causes
and the discouraging effect of last weeks
fall in prices. Consideration over Sunday
of the situation resulted in large ac-
eumuation of selling orders to be worked
off in the opening dealings. Houses with
out-of-town wire connections were very
large sellers and much liquidation was at
tributed to Pittsburg and Chicago
sources The interests which have UNDER
written the new Pennsylvania stock issue
and those connected with the United
States Steel syndicate were supposed to
have share in the support of the mar
ket The buying for London account also
helped to absorb the accumulation of sell
| ing orders. The second period of weak
ness seemed to grow out of the conspic-
uous selling of Rock Island The seem
ingly unending stream of st. Paul stock
coming upon the market also had sin
ister effect The origin and the motive of
this selling which seemed to be concen-
trated in character was the subject of
much interest all through the financial
district. There was talk of dissension III
the ranks of the controlling interest in the
great Rock Island project. Assertions
were freely made of the recall of loans on
an enormous scale with the implied de-
duction of disciplinary purposes against
undue indulgence and speculative excess
both in cotton and in stocks. The appar-
ent support of this morning, which was
clearly by large banking interests, seems
| to conflict with the view that the later
liouidation was forced by peremptory re-
call of banking credits. The engagements
of $500 900 in gold for export to Germany
was a disagreeable supplement to the days
heavy outgo to South America.
Bonds were weak in sympathy with
stocks. Total sales (par value) $3.50, 900
United States bonds were all unchanged
on the last call.
Total sales of stocks today were / 116,-
700 shares, including AtchisoD, 61,7OO; B.

New York, May 25.-It looked today
very much as though the decline in the
stock market brought about the advance
in cotton Under ordinary circumstances
that is, with Wall Street interests long
at the cotton market, such a decline III
the stock market as that which took place
today would have been attended with
stock hquidations But there are evidences
that Wall Street is still short, and they
covered rather freely, rather than con-
tinue their interest. The stock of cotton
in this city has increased from 5000
bales the early part of the month, TO
1913 900 bales, and this is owned by the
Philadelphia people who are said to be
short of July The condition indicates
one of two things, either that the New
Orleans market is strong enough to take
this spot cotton and finance the deal, or
that they will take advantage of the high
prices and get out 1t does not seem as
though the Philadelphia people We're in
terested in advancing the market further.
For this reason, and in view of the ex-
tremely unsettled condition of Wall Street,
we would proceed very cautiously in this
market October has now advanced to a
point where purchases are hardly to be
recommended, and we would most GER
tainly wait for another slump before get
ting long of cotton.

New York, May z5.-The covering move
ment which was started late Saturday was
continued this morning with a sharp ad-
vance all along the line. In the after
noon, however, there was a reaction in
July and August while che winter months
remained very steady; in fact, December
only eased off three points, while July de-
clined IL points, and August 10 points DC
tober reacted points from the top. 1t
looks as if the extreme difference be-
tween August and the winter months has
begun to disappear; indeed, it looks as if
those who are short of August and long
OF October and December will very short
ly see this difference narrowed consider
ably. There is not a season on record
before August that the new crop did not
come very close together during the early
summer.
Cotton mills are refusing to sell their
product at present prices, because they
cannot afford to pay liz cents without
there is corresponding advance in the
manufactured article, and this is going 90
curtail consumption which will operate
against August contracts but they will
be perfectly willing to pay 1919 cents for
cotton in October, so that this is decided
ly in favor of October contracts which are
now selling at 91z cents and IS considered
the best conservative investment in the
speculative markets today.

New York. May 25-The quiet strength
OF the summer positions seem to have
changed somewhat the views of buyers OF
goods who had been holding off in hopes Of
a break in raw cotton. Last weeks sales
Of print cloths reached 225,0OO pieces, the
first activity seen in some time and prices
have advanced lie. The present week
will see the round up OF remaining May
shorts, that is if there are any shorts left
who have not provided themselves with
cotton to fill their contracts. 1t is feared
that if any stragglers are caught unpro-
tected the price of May would be forced
as high as possible, for the moral effect
a sharp rise might have on July shorts
Some such apprehension seems to be be-
hind the strength displayed by the latter
option Winter months are beng bought
because of the discount at which they are
ruling as compared with the coTnered po-
sitions, and every bit OF news Of charac-
ter unfavorable to the new crop is ac
lively circulated OF course it is plain that
the higher the far months can be lifted
the better appears the support to the
summer months and the less the imitation
in them. Tomorrow will bring the usual
weekly government report, and while the
Chronicle" and many private advices
show considerable Improvement for the
past week, the report is isesh in mind,
and its probable tenor is much in doubt.

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, May 25.-The cotton market
opened firm points lower to points
higher and ruled comparatively quiet.
The initial losses were confined to the ola
crop positions and were in sympathy with
the early Liverpool cables which We're
rather below expectations on these posi-
tions. while the new crop was firmer than
was considered. due ON the closing OF Sat
urday. Right after the call however, the
whole market was rallied sharply, partial
ly by the strength in New Orleans and
partly by Southern buying orders. July
sold up from 11.06 the lowest price on
the call. to 11.26. August opening at 1867
and advanced to 1885, while September OPP
ened at 9S4 and rushed W to 1913. The
firmness at New Orleans was attributed
to the presence of the bull leader in that
market, and it was also thought that the
rush of Southern buying orders received
here probably originated from that source.
The increased activity was of but short du-
ration, however. and the market became
comparatively quiet with prices showing
reactionary tendency under selling for
both accounts. This was encouraged by
favorable weather, it being stated that
the cloudburst in Oklahoma was of but
local significance; large port receipts for
the day which reached 4,217 bales against
1851 bales last year and full estimates for
leading points tomorrow. Still there
esemed to be more or less uneasiness as to
the showing to be expected from the week
~ crop report due at noon tomorrow. and
shortly after midday when a loss of from
to points from the best of the morn
irg had been recorded the market turned
firm though without showing any appre-
cable increase in activity and advanced
to a new high level for the day, July
reaching 1130 and the general list level
10 to 20 points higher, with the late
months still exhibiting especial firmness
From this there was partial reaction un-
der realizing but the market was finally
steady net to 13 points higher.
Total sales of futures estimated at 90O,-
