BROKERS VIEWS ON
THE STOCK MARKET
Ia. w. ThOnson1

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE market has
been dull and quiet to-day. and the distribu-
ton of dealings has not been as good as of
late. Weakness has characterized the Fries
where liquidation is in evidence on the bad
report of earnings published by the COM
pany. 1t was helped along by story that
more drastic proceedings would soon be in
stituted by the government against the an
strength in Consolidated Gas, which marked
up sharply to very near the highest point
it has sold on the present movement. The
bank statement was worse than the most
pessimistic forecast. Ten million five hum
dred thousand gold has been engaged for
export next Tuesday. 1t is possible that
the money situation may soon reach an in
teresting stage. The publication of the
statement, however, produced absolutely no
effect on prices.

NEW YORK, May 14.-There was fair
amount of activity in the short session of
the stock market to-day, but there were
no developments of special interest. The
general tone was weak, although there were
periods when some strength developed and
the slight rally that took place seemed to
reflect an improvement in sentiment. Dur
ing the day the total gold engagements
were announced as 100000. Negotiations
for gold coin were also begun, and II is
probable that the shipments Tuesday may
be augmented by liberal amount of double
eagles The gold bars at the assay office
have been exhausted. There is little reason
TO doubt that the gold exports will con-
tinue next week. The financial district

dous outflow of gold While can stand

The unfavorable report on winter wheat
threw a scare into a good many people in
the Wall street quarter, but the sensation
was only momentary. II was more than
offset by the reports Of the splendidly
favorable conditions under which the gen
crafty of crops were being planted through
out the length and breadth of the coun-
try. The crops on the big average are hav-
ing much better start than last year when
the season was a month to six weeks be-
hind. Last spring at this time compare
lively little corn in the great surplus
States was in the ground. Now it is esti-
mated that two-thirds or the acreage has
been planted. It, therefore, can be said
that the general crop situation is bright,
and that there is no sign in any direction
of agricultural calamity. This fact must
inevitably have beneficial effect upon the
investment markets. The outlook is for bet
terment all along the line, and conserva-
tive sentiment is crystallizing on the bull
side There may be excitement ana dis
turbance over the political situation until
the two conventions are held, but in sober
truth it can be said that the moneyed in
terests arc showing no alarm or any dispo-
sition to take fright over the presidential
campaign. w. G.. NICHOLAS.

WORLDS RECORD
Beaten by the Battleship
Maine.

Washington, d. c., April 27.--An Of
fetal communication received by the
navy department from Pensacola in

sixteen six-inch guns made an average
OF five hits a minute to each gun.
One gun pointer scored nine hits out
of nine shots in one minute and an
other Z hits out of 9 in the same
length of time. This means that some
of the guns we're loaded and fred in
six and two third seconds which rate
is thought to be unsafe.
