DAILY STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Nervousness in Wall Street Caused by Lack of Explana-
ton OF the Course of the Market-Personal
Factors in the Equation.

NEW YORK, May 30.-It might be
SAID with perfect truth that few things
hcve done more to intensity the nerv-
BUSINESS which now prevails in the Wall
Street locality than the very absence
OF outward and visible signs in explana-
ton OF what is taking place in the stock
market In consequence, the absence of
understanding in this respect results in
the creation and dissemination of IDEAS
ano rumors of all sorts. which find no
other confirmation than in the evident
heavy and continuing liquidation of Sc
cCrities- Doubtless when the present
much befogged situation clears UP it
Will be found that the personal equation
will furnish the best key to the solution
of the mystery
There can be no doubt that a number
of men who were made immensely and
suddenly rich in the era of great corpor-
ate combinations of a few years ago
and who We're not satisfied to rest upon
their laurels and be contented with
their suddenly acquired fortunes, sought
further fame and wealth both in the
stock market and in new fields OF pro-
motion. In the last direction they en-
countered unforeseen difficulties. The
promotion Of new securities without
public support is bound to come to
nothing. On one account or another
there has been no demand for newly
created securities for nearly year past,
which is not TO be wondered at in view

J. A. Boulger Orator at Green
muont Cemetery.

During the Memorial Day services at
Greenmount Cemetery. Baltimore. yes
terday afternoon. ]. A. Boulger, Oakling
Camp, No 8, Army and Navy Republic
League, Department OF California, de-
livered an address which was in part as
follows:
In the observance of this, your day
of mourning, you not only honor these
brave men resting here, but you teach
lesson in patriotism to the rising
generation-teach them that nothing is
more glorious than for a man to
lay down his life for his country And
if this lesson be not taught of what
avail are all your victories? If this les
son be not learned by the rising youth
of today, then must the great question
of loyalty to our country's flag be fought
out again at the point of the bayonet.
Greed and avarice ere today prompt
ing and encouraging a sentiment, in this
country that old soldiers have already
been paid too much for their services.
I suppose such a sentiment would have
found no response at the close Of that
mighty struggle.
We'll you remember that at the close
OF the victorious conflict you passed In
grand review at the seat of our National
Government, before the President ard
Cabinet The heavens resounded with
the accIamations of the multitude and
the air was filed with bouquets of flow
ers that were received and showered
upon the bronzed veterans.
Ladies of the Grand Army of the Re
public and of the Women's Relief Corps.
and Sons of Veterans. your allies in this
sacred cause. shall live on after you.
Here shall they strew your graves with
flowers, extol your memories, and invoke
people TO observe the day with sad re-
membrance. These men resting here
have gone on before you into the great
unknown. where the sound of battles
shall never be heard. Their trials and
tribulations are at an end. their bodies
rest on in peace forevermore. They are
gone. Grief sits on each noble brow and
pervades every heart. their noble forms
lie low, and have been committed to
their kindred dust. The halo of their
deeds and the brilliancy of their achieve
ments may almost be said to illuminate
the graves IN which their bodies lie
They are gone from your sight, but not
from your hearts and your memories
There shall their names live on en-
baImed with your love and garlanded
with your affections, growing brighter
and brighter as time rolls on Their
memories shall go down to future gen
erations emblazoned upon the pages of
history pregnant with the lesson of
wholesome examples of high endeavor.
May God bless you until We meet
again.

MONEY AND EXCHANGE.

NEW YORK, May 30.-There were no
important changes in the local money
market this week. The volume of bust

tie continued liquidation in the stock
market, and notwithstanding the large
shipments of gold, rates for all classes
OF accommodation continued to rule

amounted to s3,462, 500, of which s1,212.-
900 went TO Europe and $2,250, 900 to
South America. In addition TO this
amount the banks lost about 81 500, 900

ever, were more than Offset by the re-
ceipts of currency from the interior,
which amounted to $6.451 600
Money Oh call was in moderate de-

dull, and although the tone was quoted
somewhat f1rmer. rates showed no ma
terial change from those ruling at the

millionaires found their resources large

there was more or less demand. Hence
1t is ne reelection upon the merits of

could be sold when many other stocks
could not. and the same is true of many
other high grade securities, the prices of

In other words. it is plain that some
of our VIGOROUSLY recently rich per-
sonalities, who placed part of their
newly acquired fortunes in ST Paul, for
example, and who wrote their names
down freely in the underwriting of I'M
salable securities, have been forced TO
sell that which they could sell to protect
their obligations in other directions.
Herein is the working of the ''undigest-

of their intrinsic merits, were launched

TREASURY SURPLUS
SMALLER THAN IN 1902
More Money in Circulation Than There Was a
Year Ago

Friday was the last business day of
tie present month, and the months rec
Gro OF United States Treasury operations
was therefore closed at 4 o'clock Fri
day afternoon. Only one month more
OF the fiscal year 1903 remains, and it is
possible now to make an approximately
accurate forecast of the condition OF
the Treasury for the end OF this period
There is nothing connected with Uncle
Sans great financial institution which
can possibly be considered less favor
able than it was last year at this time,
and there are many points in which the
record suggests a more encouraging
aspect than was the case a year ago.
The Treasury surplus is smaller, but
the circumstance Is a pleasing feature
in the opinion of many wise persons.
Opposition political parties from time
immemorial have made much of the fact
that the Treasury surplus of receipts
over expenditures was unduly large
big surplus, they declared. meant over
taxation. and It meant idle money The
difference in the amount of idle money"
held in the Treasury last year and this
year Is not very great, but there is GER
tainly much more money in circulation
than there was year ago. The Treas
ury officers believe that the outlook is
good for easy money conditions for many
months to come, and there is less anx-
iety regarding the coming crop moving
season than there has been for some
years.
The surplus in the Treasury at the
close of business Friday was sSS.s4S, SIG.
The excess of receipts over expenditures
has increased by nearly $4,000 600 dur
ing the last month, and the prospect is
that there will bs d gain of at least So
10000 during June. It seems a safe
prediction. therefore, to say that the
surplus in the United States Treasury
at the end Of the fiscal year will be not
less than $4,000. OO0
During the last year the people have
been free from large class OF internal
revenue taxes which were put in opera
ito on account of the expenses Of the
Spanish war, and despite the decrease in
revenues on this account the surplus

THE WEEK IN COTTON.

NEW YORK. May 3o.lThere has been
a moderate advance in cotton prices
during the week, except for May con-
tracts. in which support has been ap-
parently relaxed. Active operations by
the bull clique have been suspended, but
on the other hand, there has been little
effort TO sell the market; both sides sus-

and in the South For this the ostensi-
BILE cause has been the high price OF
cotton; but 1t is stated also. in the
trade, that the dry goods market has
not developed sufficient demand to war
rant the mills in spinning for more than
present needs, at existing prices of the
raw material. The peculiar condition
existing in the financial markets. and
the weeks discussions, whether well
or i'll founded. over the possibility OF
some reaction in general trade, have
naturally increased this tendency

falling off in exports. Shipments are
barely half what they were in the cor
responding week a year ago. On the
other hand, the worlds visible supply
is 96,4S7 bales below last weeks, and
is the smallest for this week since 1900.
Port receipts have decreased 1864 bales
from last week. but have been S.4S1
greater than in this week a year ago.
Northern spinners' takinss have been
10, 666 bales less this week than a week

for this year bids fair to be reduced
by not more than sac, 000, eco. The ex-
penses of the Government naturally are
increasing year by year; 1t costs more
20 run a big country than it does a
small enc, and, while 'Billion Dollar
Congress" was severely censured a few
years ago, It Is now taken as a mat
ter of course that appropriations sur
passing the $1,000, 100000 mark will be
made by each Congress in order to meet
the legitimate and natural expenditures
of the Government. While the changes
in the revenue laws had strong effect
on the total revenues, the customs re-
ceipts have increased. so that the con-
dition of the Government ledger is not
less favorable than ii was last year.
Expenditures during the last fiscal
year have increased normally During
the eleven months closed Friday the to-
tai Expenditures of the Government were
SAT- .5S4, S55, as against SASS, 654, 999 in the
same period of last year. The receipts
from all sources were $50, All. as
against sos, 7S4,61 The fact is that
while the internal revenue receipts de-
creased by about $3S, GOO, 600 the customs
receipts increased by about S31, 000, 900.
There was also large increase in the
receipts from miscellaneous sources. Not
including Fridays account, the expendi-
lures during the last eleven months, for
different objects. have been as follows:
Civil and miscellaneous, S117 POI 1888;

Other items in the Treasury account,

national finances, and the fiscal year will
close under prosperous auspices. The
