improved only small quantities, exercising
a discrimination that indicates dull mar
kets elsewhere, and statesmen are being
withdrawn from the road.
Abnormal prices for raw cotton might
be expected to stimulate inquiry for
goods, but the only effect is TO prevent
sellers from making CONCESSIONS. More
wooden mills have closed. and the market
is featureless, but the rew wool clip is
firmly held. a steadier tone is noted In
silks, owing to reports that production
will be curtailed- Trade is rather quiet
in leather, both sole and upper, with
prices steady. although heavy weight
stocks have accumulated. Chicago pack
ing hides are dull at recent advanced
prices, which were only on latest sailing.
Foreign dry hides are easier. buying re-
ducing their bids slightly.
Failures this week were 175 in the Unit
ed States against 21s last year and p in

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. May S--The stock market
continued the desuitory decline which de-
veloped yesterday and which was with
out special explanation beyond the dis
position of the professional traders to
sell stocks. The sharp rally at the close
in some stocks indicated that the selling
had been partly for short account An
other professional party. when they per-
ceived that the shorts We're attempting TO
cover, endeavored 10 mark up prices on
them This seemed to be the motive for
the rapid advance of 3-S in National
Railroad OF Mexicco preferred. which was
without other explanation. Amalsamated
Copper and United States Rubber stocks
moved upward at the last and there was
a sudden recovery in Delaware and Hud-
son. The late hardening in the market
brought some prices slightly above last
night annd reduced the net changes in all
cases to small proportions. The heavy
tone Of the market in the early part of
the day was partly due to the sympa-
thetic effect OF the relapse OF . s-s in st.
Louis and San Francisco and the weak
ness Of Rock Island in the face Of reiter-
ated assertions that the amalgamation
of the companies had been completed. The
weakness Of the stocks might be vari-
ously attributed TO the failure of the eX-
pected official announcement of the deal.
to disappointment over its alleged terms.
10 profit taking on the completion Of the
deal or TO surviving doubt whether the
project would be completed at all. The
Wall street public has been much bewil-
dered over all the successive develop
ments in this matter. Denver South
western preferred sold at 10. This stock
has never been dealt IN actively, and re-
cent sales of small lots have been made
at today's prices, but the last previous
sale of a full share lot on the stock ex-
change which is the basis of the official
quotation. was at CO. There was also a
sale of United States Shipbuilding at 2,
whereas the recent quotations have
ruled at bid and 10 asked. The indica-
ton in these violent declines among DOR
mant stocks OF the unmarketable condi-
ton of some of the securities In the mar
ket had a bad effect upon sentiment
There was some ground for suppos!ng
that the transactions were for this pur-
pose. The foreign exchange market con-
tinued very strong, owing to the con-
tinued demand for money in London in
connection with the Transvaal loan sub
scription, and IL is believed that some
gold may go from here 10 London direct
next week. The movement Of cash In
favor OF New York on balance during the
week seems to have been nearly $4,000
which is rather less than the recent av-
erage, as was indicated by the weak
ness of New York exchange during the
week at some interior points. The large
remittances abroad ne believed TO fore
shadow another large loan increase by
the banks. 1t is possible that some syn
dictate transactions may also figure IN
the system. The market closed firm at
the rally but very dull.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value. 81. $4,000. United States IS coupon
declined is on the last call.

COMES TO
A STANDSTILL
Hog Market Becomes Steady
With Light Receipts
TOP PRICE WAS S6.45
Cattle Receipts Continue Light
and Market Steady

The downward course of the hog mar
ket was checked yesterday and it be-
came steady, to the great satisfaction
of sellers They had come to expect q
FIVE to ten-cent decline every day, and
while the market was no better 1T was
some consolation TO know that it was
no worse The top price was S6.45, and
this for a. car load of even, wen finished
hogs weighing 252 pounds. Common
mixed hogs running 10 heavy and light
weights sold for around six and a quar-
ter. There We're not hogs enough to ere
ate a very strong competition and Gu
daily was the principal buyer, and when
the hogs were run together they made
q pretty good drove. Country buyers
viii know from this that something fan
cy would be required 10 bring better
prices than those sold yesterday.

Little Boy r. scues Brother.

News reaches here from Brevard of a
remarkable rescue of a seven-year-o old
child from drowning by his nine-yea old
brother. The two children were crossing
a swollen creek, when the younger fell in.
The elder sprang in to rescue him. but
finding the current too strong for him,
managed to make his way back to the
bank, where he secured a brush and eX-
tended it to his brother. The younger
grasped it and was drawn safely ashore.
