Hidden In Sight.

A new form of "hide and seek"
which is hidden in sight," is very
pretty game. All must go out of the
room except one, who then places the
thing to be found, such as thimblc or
a cotton reel, so that any one can see
1t, but will not notice 1t without looking
rather hard. A thimble is not easily
seen on q bright iron fender, and
reel Of cotton takes good deal of find
ing when properly placed on some
mantelpiece ornament or even on the
top of picture frame.

DEARTH OF ORDERS FOR ExECU-
TON IN THE MARKET.
Saturday Before the Fourth of July

Stngnation Exists on
the Exchange.

New York, June 2s.-The current
dearth OF orders for execution in the
stock market prompted the stock ex-
change authorities to order the ex-
change closed for the short session
preceding Monday, July 4. holiday:
But IL appears that this recognition or
the scarcity of business is having some
aggravating effect on the dulness.
professional operators are habitualIy
dfsfnclined to enter upon speculative
on account of their feeling that any
subsequent occurrence calculated TO
eject the market violently would leave
chem at disadvantage In the pro-
lonSed irterval with no market avail
able in which to take measures Tor
their protection or for their advantage.
The approaching triple holiday was
widely credited with the paralysis OF
the trading today. The term stag
nant is hardly figure of speech when
applied to the market. Many stocks
unusually prominent were not dealt in
at all and those which were, drifted
idly an eighth up or an eighth down.
Very few stocks developed sufficient
commission on a turn. Some stress
was laid on the convention period and
the proximity of the convention of one
OF the greatest political parties after
the holiday interval was an explana-
ton of the dulness. Something more
OF political discussion than usual was
heard In the Wall Street district, but
as ground for refraining from trad
Ing in stocks 1t was not more influ-
entail than other factors. The yearly
report of the Cleveland. Cincinnati.
Chicago and st. Louis presented as
contending influences, the inroad upon
net earnings by reason of the heavy
increase in operating cost and the SAN
guine hopes expressed by the president
of the company of the advantages to
accrue for next year from retrench-
ments. Talk of retrenchment on 9TH
err lines, notably the Baltimore and
Ohio and reported heavy reduction in
working force by large locomotive
company were regarded as Indicative
of business contraction. Conclusions
to be drawn from the weekly crop re-
ports proved rather battling but the
fall in wheat left no room for much
disturbance over the crop reports. An
advance in the price of refined sugar
met no response in the stock market.
The dwindling of the bond market is
