New York. May 16.-Some consid-
cradle declines were effected in prices
cf stocks in the course of an hour 3
business after the opening today and
a creeping upward movement followed
for the most of the day a large pro-
portion of the days total transactions
was done buying the first hour, and
after that business was little more than
nominal Some items of information
in the days news offered nominal
cause for the setback in prices but
the market is best explained by the
encouragement of the professional
element over the utter lack of success
in attracting any outside interest,
Some very heavy operations are pro-
ceeding in the money market and
there has been a very large shifting of
loan accounts in consequence in the
last tive days. The money market, IN
spite of enormous transactions and the
preparation for them, is absolutely UNI
ruffled, and is. in fact. working easier.
Of the more immediate influence on
today's market the foreign political
disturbance was most conspicuous.

amount of stock brought upon the
market by these factors was exceed

prices, however, under the light offer
ings discouraged the professional at
tempts to get the market up. The
marking up Of st. Paul later in the
day was attributed to a traders move
ment designed FOR effect on the gener-
al list but the closing was heavy FOR
the smallest days business of the year.

(By the Associated Press.)

New York, May 16.-The cotton
market was moderately active. Clear
ly prices ruled quite steady. but lost
ground in the later trading owing to
a less bullish weekly crop report than
expected, and finished the day a a
net loss of SOIL points.
The opening was steady at de-
cline of las points, the losses being
on the near positions which were in
iluenced by lower Liverpool cables and
liquidation, while the late months we're
steadied by expectations of bulllsn
weekly crop at midday. The weather
South was regarded as rather more
favorable, the rains reported being
from the eastern belt while the more
western sections. which have been
complaining of too much moisture.
were comparatively dry But while
there were also reports of more liberal
spot offerings in the South, selling
here was not aggressive and the bull
leaders found it comparatively easy
to rally the market to about the final
prices of Yesterday. Following this
the market was quiet and irregular
until the weekly crop report was read
ut midday. when there was selling for
both accounts and prices during the
balance of the session worked gener~
ally lower. The close was steady but
practically at the lowest point of the
session. Sales were estimated at $780,
600 bales.
Receipts at The ports today 24,7SS

possibly of greater Importance was a

tired before Judge Whitehouse, at Augusta,

The present crusade against patent
medicines in general, and the recent is
sue OF a fraud order" against the NJ
trlola Co. in particular, recall to mind
another phase of the patent medicine
industry that is of local interest. In
his lecture here on Fools some years
ago Dr. ?. S Henson of Chicago spoke
of the tulip mania in Holland and OF
various visionary ventures in this coun-
try and elseN here. He might well have
included the patent medicine mania
which had so many victims i'll this
State. With little investigation the
amount of money lost by Maine people
in patent medicine enterprises might
be closely appropriated. We believe
it to he not less than one million dol
lars and that it might exceed that sum.
Tie money was mainly from those who
could i'll afford to lose even few hun
bred dollars, the savings in many cases
of years-mouey earned by hard labor
and deposited in savings banks or 9th
erWise safely invested as a provision
against Old age and lntirmities. The
main incentive for all these unprotit-
able Investments, the germ Of hundreds
of mushroom medicine companies, was
the Dana Sarsaparilla Co. of this city
1t used to be said that its establishment
here was d good thing for Belfast, that
it brought money here and gave employ
ment to our people. That was true of
this company while it lasted; and when
it was sold out its stockholders made
money. But for every dollar that was
made IN this enterprise some one lost a
dollar IN companies established later
This city and county is strewn with the
wrecks of medicine companies which
never paid a dividend and which alb
sorbed sums ranging from few hun
dred to $4,000. An attempt to float
real estate scheme on the strength of
the Dana success was equally disastrous
to the promoters and stockholders.
