WALL STREET REVIEW
NOTHING TO ACCOUNT FOR THE EASY
 TONE,
Character of Preceding Transactions Dis- credited by Ability to Maintain the Higher Prices Which
 Were Secured.

New York, May 13-There was no i'm portant new developments to account for the easy tone of the stock market today. but the ability to maintain the higher prices secured by yesterdays sharp recovery served te largely discredit the character of yesterdays market
 decidedly lower range of prices Tor Americans came from London this morn ing and 1t became evident that some weak accounts which were loaded over the settle, ment which was completed yesterday and saved from failure were coming upon the market again. In the local market the re newed pressure against the Pacifics caused fects of yesterdays impressive buying of those stocks. There was a good deal of ir- regularity in the group. Great Northern pre- ferred, Northern Pacific, Northern Securi- ties itself and the Burlington Joint bond showing some strength, while Union Pa cific. Southern Pacific and St. Paul on the other hand were under pressure.
 A rather vague report was in circulation of determination arrived at by the St. Paul authorities to push their extension on the Pacific coast. This was the nearest approach to news bearing on the group. A bad impression was caused by the announce nent of deficit in the earnings of the quarter ending March 31. the first in the history of the company, as was pointed out
 The bank statement did not vary widely from expectations. the loan expansion going to swell the deposit item and the reserve requirement. while the cash holdings de- creased slightly. as was expected The net result was a shrinkage of over $2.000,O00 in the margin of the surplus reserve. bring ing that item down to S16.712.575. The call for surrender of Government deposits on Monday makes requirement. of about $14.o00,000 on the National banks through out the country, but many of these have arranged to make the payments by drafts on their New York correspondents. The growing ease of the money market. how ever. up to the end of the week leaves no feeling of anxiety on that subject.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PhOFisAoNo.
 Chicago, May 13.-The price for wheat for July delivery advanced %c per bushel here today Dwindlng receipts In the United States and higher prices at Liyera The market closed at the highest point Of the day. Corn shows Q gain of x No oats are practically unchanged. Provisions are off 7hc AL.
 The wheat market was strong from the start. At the opening July was up Nc 70 Ac at s5 % @s5%c. There was rush 10 buy the July option, commission houses and shorts vieing in efforts to secure the spar ing quantities offered. sharp advance to the spring sown crop by cold wet wealth CT was one of the vital reasons. Another factor was the strong tone of Liverpooi cables, unusually light shipments rom Aus tralia being largely instrumental in caus- ing the advance in foreign grain markets. Receipts at the principal grain centres a. an arrived at Chicago today. Demand in- creased as the session advanced and prices continued to move in an upward direction. A few reports were receicved from the Southwest telling of damage by rust one report from Nebraska claimed that much damage had been done by severe hnii- storm During the last few minutes of trad ing demand became exceedingly urgent ana the market closed at the highest point ot the day with July at 87hc. Clearances Of wheat and flour were equal to SSS,Ioo push els Primary receipts were lOS,OOO push- els, compared with 155. 200 year ago. NH neapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported re- ceipts of Ss cars, against 1Ol last week anu e1 a year ago. . Influenced by the advance in wheat the corn market had a strong undertone; Ere dications of additional ram also tended 10 create bullish sentiment, the prevailing wet weather being a serious hindrance to plant ing operations. Shorts were the best buyers. ,July opeued Mc higher at 4Sc, sold between 46Xc and 4GN @47%c and closed at the highest point of the day
 Oats were firm in sympathy with other grains Trading was very quiet, the revived Interest in wheat drawing many traders away from the oats pit. July opened un- changed to a shade higher at 29h Q2s 4sc to 29%c. sold between 29kc and 2s 4s c V2shc and closed at 9%c.

The time for the annual encamp- ments of the Alabama National Guard Is near at hand and the various organl- zations are in splendid shape for the annual outing.
 The report of the Adjutant General of his recent inspection shows all the branches except the modern guns Tor the artillery, to be up to the regular army in equipment and with qualified and earnest, enthusiastic officers there Is no reason why the camps of instruc- tion this year should not be very bene- ficial and bring the establishment up to the very highest state of efficiency ever before, known in the State.
 The matter of time has been settled and it is pretty well understood that all the camps will have been held or be in progress by July 18th. The question of place is giving the com manding officers some concern as all are anxious to get all the help possl- hle. and as they will certainly carry much life and entertainment while in camp, wherever they go, it does seem that any of the Alabama cities would be glad and most fortunate to have any of them. The dress parades and guard mounts each day would draw large crowds and the social feature Is by no means the most insignificant part and Is always to be considered. or course the discussion of place Is all speculative just now, but 1t can be guessed that the 1st regiment will camp in Mobile, as will also the cavalry and artillery; the 2nd regi- ment will likely come to Montgomery or go to Birmingham: while the 3rd is more likely to go to Anniston, there being a bare probability of its coming here if the street railways will offer inducement enough.
 Every one Is praising the splendid service of the provisional company at Decatur under Captain R. l.. Gregory, who made up provisional command from the three companies at and near Birmingham and lead seventy-tWo or f1cers and men on duty.
 There has not been complaint yet made public and if there was any mo- body has ever heard of 1t. It was splendid lesson to the troops and the service in upholding and maintaining the power and dignity of the law again demonstrates the usefulness of the militia, and convinces all that the small expense by the State in caring for the organization Is well and most proftably spent. If the military had not gone to Decatur with the negroes they would have been hung soon after reaching there and to pre- vent this the expense of every available dollar would have been insignificant be- sides the result of such an outcome.
 It was the duty of the State to give the prisoners fair and impartial trial before the law and if they were to be punished at all to be punished under and by the authority of the law. The lesson at Decatur is most wholesome one and 1t is hoped will be a lasting one.
 There are three vacancies in the 3rd Regiment, but as there are several ap- plications for companies 1t Is thought

MILITARY MATTERS;
 GUARD OF ALABAMA
nY ID. W. McIVER.

Colonel McKleroy will be able to i'll up the ranks of his command before camp When this Is done the 3rd Reg iment will have probably the largest number of men and be the equal of any other command in the State in personnel and in point of efficiency.
 The command will profit by the un- fortunate location and surroundings of two years ago and it may be safely said that wherever they go this year they will conduct themselves as sol dfers and gentlemen and that there will be no just cause for complaint.
 Whatever is to be done about the money available under the appropria- tion from the national government for the National Guard of this State must be done quickly. The balance is $13,- 800 in round numbers, and that would be a great help if divided pro rata among each command. But what Is to he done must be done without delay or camp will have come and gone before it is decided, as the government re- serves sixty days in which to decide all such questions and to fill requisi- tions
 The matter of transportation is the most important one in deciding the To-
 
 camps and it Is a fact that IS settled beyond dispute, that if the State funds are to be alone relied upon that all must go to the place where transpor- tation is least and where the mobiliZ- ing of the commands can be had at the least expense.
 If they can get the aid they will ask for and have a right to expect from the cities where they want to so, they at 10 n1lpa their chnipa otherwise they cannot, but as said be- fore. must go to the most centrally located point
 Colonel McKleroy has not yet select ed his staff for the 3rd Regiment, but 1t is presumed he will do so before camp. In the meantime Captain D. Hurton Smith Company T, Oxford, has been detailed to act as Adjutant, and 1t is satisfactory Adjutant.
 He is considered one of the best Cap tains in the service and it is a matter of congratulaton to his command and the line that he is not to leave that branch of the service. His company ranks as one of the very best. and as has been often before very truly said. like Cap tain like company"
 The old Springfield rifles now in the hands of the different colleges of the State have been ordered turned in to the government, but 1t is hoped that they can be supplied with the Krag- Jorgensen now in use by the regular army and the National Guard.
 Nothing has been done about the turning of the artillery into coast ar tillery. It is hoped to get the modern and up-to-date ordinance for this branch of the service in this State, but if that cannot be done. the change may not only be desirable. but absolutely essential to maintain the organization at all.
