FLORENCE, AriE-. June IL John
Manning, a Deer Creek rancher and the
principal witness for the Territory in
the prosecution OF W. T. Armstrong,
former Sheriff OF ella County and head
OF gang OF cattle thieves, has dropped
out OF sight
Menning's disappearance is unac-
counteble except for the fact that he
took such a prominent part in the pros
ecution OF Armstrog. who was sent TO
the penitentiary. II is no secret that
members OF the Armstrong gang tried
TO fntimidate Manning before the trial
and threatened vengeance after the
cattle thief was sent over the road for
FIVE years.
Manning was as handy with six
shooter as any member Of the gang and
told them openly that they would never
get him except from ambush.
Strange 70 say the Deer Creek
rancher disappeared during a visit to
Florence, Thursday, and his horse was
found Friday morning where he had
put Il out Both his rife and sixshooter
were strapped TO the saddle. Two or
three notorious members OF the Arm

Special. Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, June 11.-Bootblacks
from the Battery to the Harlem are ex-
cited over an invasion of their domain
by an electric shoe polishing machine.
The mere suggestion that their artis-
tic work can be duplicated by me-
chanicaI contrivance has aroused an
indignant protest. and at a meeting of
the United Bootblacks' Protective Un-
ion 1t was decided to fight the auto
matte rate-cuttinS device.
From proprietors of polishing parlors
in office buildings, who have accumu-
lated fortunes. down to the bare-footed
Urchin whose entire capital is a box and
a pair of brushes. there was but one
opinion to-day-'Da machina is no

BY offering shines for a nickel. and
in quicker time than 1t is possible with
an expert bootblack on each foot, the
machine threatens to eat into the in
comes of the frugal Italians. and they
are determined TO prevent it's general
introduction in this city. That the COM
pany behind the machine has the back
ing of Standard Oil interests and is
capitalized at $3.50, 900 does not frighten
them.
There are about 10000 bootblacks on
Manhattan Island. and 1t is estimated
that 300, 600 men have their shoes pol
ished daily.

RAILROAD EARNINGS.

Railroad earnings made a continu-
Gus exhibit of decreases from last
years level, and the decreased volume
of bank clearings is evidence to the
same effect. While money has con-
tinued easy and in little demand the
cessation of the gold export move
ment has been of good effect on senti-
ment.
European money centers have
grown quite plethoric. There have
been further large receipts of Japan
ese gold at San Francisco, somewhat
contrary TO expectations. as the flota-
ton of the japanese loan was ex-
pected to check this movement of
gold. The course of the Government
revenues at Washington arouses some
doubts whether the Treasury Depart
ment will be in a position to take
measures for the relief of the money
market which have been employed at
that season for a number of years. A
strong banking position to meet the
fall requirements is therefore regarded
as essential.
There has been some Improvement
in the investment demand for well
secured railroad mortgages, but fluctu-
ations in more speculative bonds have
kept the price movement irregular

STOCKS BRING
GOOD PRICES
Considerable Realizing Is
Done, but Market Closes
Firm and at Top Level
CROP REPORT PLEASING
Short Session of Exchange
Shows Satisfactory Gains
and Improvement in Trade

NEW YORK. June 1.-THE short
session of the Stock Exchange to-day
showed good support for prices and
the market closed firm, at the top
level Of the week. There was con-
siderable realizing, but it was evident
that sufficient satisfaction was felt
over the color of the monthly crop re-
port to prompt a good absorption of
this realizing. The days gains were
not striking, but the steadiness Of
prices, in view of the activity of trad
ing, made the tone good. The bank
statement showed about the expected
gain in cash resources and sufficient
to meet the added reserve require
ments by reason of the rise in de-
posits, with a margin of $3,S01, ,525,
which went to enhance the surplus
reserve of the banks. A report from
Washington asserted that permission
had been given for the deposit of
$2,10o,0OO atthe New York Sub-Treas-
ury for transfer by telegraph to San
Francisco, which is a reversal of the
recent current between the two CEN
ket for investment securities begins to
reflect unmistakable pressure to find
employment for idle capital. To-day's
( bond market was broader and more
active than that for stocks. It is
pointed out also that large business
is being done in high grade railroad
bonds over the counters of the bond
house which does not figure in the
Stock Exchange transaction.
SALE OF BONDS.
The Financial Chronicle estimates
that the municipal bond sale for
May reached s54,4O4,33s. This in
cludes the s37,000.oO0 by city bond
issue, but the aggregate figures reached
to one-third the total sales of mu-
nicipaI bonds for the full calendar
year of 1903. The same authority as
serts that the active demand for mu-
nicipal issues is prompting the con-
tinuing flotation of unusually large
amounts of bonds. Total sales of
bonds to-day, (par value), $1,51O, 900.
Prices of stocks have been strength
ened this week and there has been an
occasional stirring of something like
speculative interest. The movement
was largely due to professional opera
tons within >the exchange and was to
an extent in sympathy with the move
ments in special stocks.
The growth of a hopeful feeling
regarding the grain crops has fur
nished a great assurance over the bust
ness prospect in general. Reports of
railroad traffic officials and merchants
disclose the opinion that the level of
business, although admittedly lower
than last year, may be regarded as a
firm basis, with many hopes of expan-
sion after the political campaign, sup
posing the harvesting of good crops.
Some such confidence must be ac-
cepted for explanation of the firm
ness of the market in face of the evi-
dent contraction of business in the
East. The estimate of the output in
iron was the weeks most satisfactory
record
