YESTERD4TIS STOCK M4RKET.
Made Almost from London-DeaIings
 on This Side Insignifieant.

on ms sue Insignificant.
 New York, May 29.-The market for stocks ia New York to-day was made almost wholly from London. The amount of business originating on this side was insignificant. The dealings for London account were Of an arbi- trage character, except for some appar- ent demand for European account for the Japanese bonds. The advance in prices in London afforded opportunity for selling Americans in that market and repprehasing in New York at 8 profit before they advanced to a parity here. London took very hopeful view of the results to follow the decisive de- feat of the Russian fleet, and prospects for peace were believed to be brighter All financial markets are agreed as to 1 the benefits to their own affairs of the termination of the war. There was a momentary hope that the improvement of prices would prove the needed factor 1 to stir the securities markets out of their apathy, but the hope was short- lived, so far as the New York market was concerned.
 The great naval event failed to bring back to town the large representation among the brokers who had. left on Fri day night with the determination to re- main over the Decoration day holiday. The higher level of prices established in sympathy with London failed entirely to attract any demand, and there was a languid pressure of long stocks at a few points, which served as an addi- tiOnal Encouragement. The United States Steel stocks were heavy at the advance and there was realizing in On- tario and Western OH last weeks large gain.
 | The decision of the supreme court in favor of the New York state franchise tax had been quite positively foreseen and its only apparent effect was to drive a few uncovered shorts in the public franchise stocks to cover. Rail- road traffic officials reported some ten- tdency to the customary mid-season dullness, but expressed themselves on the whole as we'll satisfied with the vol ume of traffic offering. Prices dropped from neglect during the midday period, but rose to the best in the final deal- ings, making the closing strong.
 Dealings in the Japanese bonds dealt in on the New York exchange were on a large scale and the three issues show gains ranging from aas to points. The bond market generally was dull and ir- regular. The total sales, par value, ag- gregated $7,020,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call. ..-,. ...........,.... .......

The Chinese government. through
the Imperial Vice Commissioner 20

presented to President Francis the
Chinese pavilion at the exposition.
The cost Of the Chinese Pavilion was
$1S5, 900. It was built in China in the
native style. being q replica Of the
palace OF Prince Pu Lun. the Imperial
Commissioner General for China. It's
greatest beauty lies In the incompar.
aple carvings. laquer and inlaid work
that abound in it, and the wages in
the United States for the workmen
who did this work would easily bring
the cost Of the pavilion in this ooun-
try mp to $3.50. 900. The construction
group comprising the Chinese Pavilion
is composed of FIVE buildings. They
are the large pavilion. facing on Ad-
ministration avenue, the little kiosk
standing in the garden forming part
of the Chinese reservation, and the
three buildings surrounding the IN.
terror court. A fish pond in the
garden is also included In the gift.
The fine work of the building, ol
which there is great quantity, sucl
as the lattice, carving, !aquer. inlait
aud ornamental roofs, was all done BY
Chinese artisans brought to this ooun
try for the purpose. The structure il
considered the most ornate pavilion IL

An unnatural thing is taking place
in the southern states. II appears that
the price of cotton has fallen so low
that the planters and merchants have
been driven to adopt heroic measures
to save the cotton market. They
will burn 10000 bales. Already
the free have been lighted and the
work of destruction begun. The
reason for this condition of the cotton
market is found in the fact that the
years crop according to the govern
ment estimatess will reach upward Of
13, ZOO. 900 bales, making the greatest
crop in the history of the country.
1t costs on an average 61s cents per
pound to raise it, and the price has
fallen to cents, the lowest ever
reached.

Regardless of the fact that the bien.
nial election amendment has carried
in Iowa and as yet there have been no
steps taken to prove its legality, there
is much comment in political circles
on the successor to Governor Cum
minis. Saturdays papers announce
with seeming authority the candidacy
Of Major e. H. Conger, who has gained
much prominence OF late as Minister
to China and is now serving az Am
bassador to Mexico. It is said that
he will resign his present position
about September 1st. and will be suc-
ceeded ny D. E. Thompson Of Nebras-
ka. now Minister to Brazil. and that
he will then return to Iowa and at
once proceed to form an organization
for his campaign. Major Conger's long
public career. his high minded pat
riotism and his recognized executive
ability will make him formidable
candidate, especially IL he has the
united support of the stand tiers.
He has host OF friends throughout the
state ana nation who would be glad
to see him thus honored. Other names
prominently mentioned during the
past week are Hon. d. II. Bowen OF
Waukon aud Hon. Geo. w. Clarke of
