4 VERY EXTRAORDINARY SITUATION.
Business is Good, Crops Are Excel

the Railroads Larger Than They
Were Last Year, Yet the Public
Have No Confidence.

New York, July 2s.-ln connection
with the failures in Wall street,
James r.. keene, whose son-in-law's 5
house, T. j. Taylor & Co., was
among those TO suspend, is quoted by
the Herald as follows in an inter
view at his country home at Cedar
hurst:
ut is a very extraordinary situa-
ton, and for some reason or other the
public refuses to buy. 1t has been
out of the stock market for two or
three months, and its temperance in
Wall street would be a welcome sight
in that gloomy financial district
"Do you think that the general
prosperity is likely to be affected by
the serious decline in stocks?' was
asked.

Keene replied. business is good

ings Of railroads are larger than they
were last year. | have no doubt their
net earnings will be correspondingly
large, In spite of all this, people
have no confidence. They are appalled,
at the tremendous decline that has
taken place, the explanation for
which had not been reasoned out by
them,
"The extremity Of the danger
should bring relief from a concert of
the financial and railroad interests

gather force if it continues. Per

situation has been the absolute un-
willingness Of the public for some

sellers and few buyers it is easy to
predict the result.

YESTERDAY'S STOCK MARKET.
Showed No Signs of Revival.

New York. May 11.-To-day's stock market showed no signs of a revival of speculative interest. There was an up- ward tendency during the first hour, helped by the buying of a small number of stocks for London account The London money market is still tied up with the subscriptions to the Transvaal loan, or by the per cent. of the sub scriptions which was required to ac- company the application. Sterling ex- change here, however, held firm to-day and it's decline in Paris left the way open for an export of gold from here to that point. Consequently $1,500,0O0 was engaged to go out tomorrow. It was understood that $500,000 in gold will go to South America during the week. This news was followed by decline in the price of stocks, although 1t had been quite generally expected. That the de- cline was due partly to such, or the selling, was demonstrated by the recov- cry late in the day, when the shorts began to cover. They did this in the apprehension that the monthly crop re- port would not show as large a ieteri- oration for winter wheat from the al- most perfect condition of April as has been feared since the cold wave in the last week of April.
 This covering movement was again interrupted by sharp selling at the last, and the market closed easy. Some spe- cial influences were at work during the day. A strong upward movement in Illinois Central resulted from a large buying order, ostensibly based upon ru- more that the dividend is to be increas- ed. The strength of Amalgamated Cop- per was due to active demand in the London market. There was continued accumulation of Missouri Pacific and of the National Railroad of Mexico stocks by the same interests which have been respectively conspicuous in those prop critics for some time past. Southern Pacific suffered from the reports a strike on the system, but recovered lat CT when it was alleged that the work men were still at their places. A drop of points in Metropolitan Securities was attributed to an unwillingness on the part of the holders to pay the sec- ond subscription of 25 per cent, which has been called.
 Reports of labor troubles on the Mo- bile and Ohio and the Great Northern served to keep alive the general appre- hension which is felt over the growth of such troubles. There were some large offerings of United States Steel, coincident with sharp break in the price of the bonds "when issued' on the curb market. The market was nar- row and uninteresting throughout. An example is afforded by the fact that there was no sale of Sugar until the final hour Of the market.
 The movement of prices of bonds was irregular and generally very narrow. Transactions last week showed a de- crease of 42 per cent. compared with those of the corresponding week of last year. The total sales, par value, aggre- gated $1,75O,OOO.
 United States bonds were unchanged on the last call.

AN EVENING OF RECITALs.
The Connecticut Teachers Annuity
 Guild.

The Connecticut Teachers Annuity
 Guild
 Charles T. Catlin, Yale '56, is to give an evening of recitals in this city Tues day evening, May 26, under the auspices of the Connecticut Teachers annuity guild. The recita1s will be given in Foy auditorium in the Y. M. c. A. build- ing.
 The guild gives this entertainment in the hope of making up a deficit caused by the lack of success, financially, of the concert given the past winter at the Fly perion theater by the Boston symphony orchestra. A large deficit was left which had to be made up by subscrip- tions, and the guild wishes to regard these subscriptions as loans rather as gives. Therefore to pay back these loans the guild is to give the entertain ment the 26th.
 MT. Catlin is well known in this city as an entertainer and those friends of the guild who did not care to patronize the symphony concert will have liter ary evening of more than usual inter- est. He is classrlate of Professor Joseph R. French of this city and very prominent Yale man.
