Market Reacted After New High Prices
 Had Been Reached-Crop Report Fa-
 yorabIe as. to Spring and Winter
 Wheat.
 The stock market was quite broad during the first hour yesterday, with prices strong and higher, and thus op- portunity for realizing was taken ad- vantage of. e..A >~.-.-. .-..,.
 In the last hour most of the active stocks recorded fractional net losses on the day and A to 11a from the best. The reaction was natural in view of the re- cent sharp advance. -'@
 The selling of Reading at 99% during the second hour directed, particular at- tention to this issue. This was high record for the stock.
 The influencing factors in the after noon decline were the prospects of fur ther gold exports, the estimate being for $9,000,000 this week, and the rise of 1 to l1a cents in wheat and ? cents in corn, and of nearly s1.50' a bale in cot- ton.
 London's buying was largely offset by selling for western account. The failure of a prominent western firm suggested that this might have been a contributing factor. ~,. Y The weekly government crop state nent reported that the cultivation of cotton had been greatly interfered with in Texas and the Central Gulf districts, with ravages of boil weevil in western Louisiana. Spring wheat has suffered from rust in the lowlands, but as a whole the crop is in promising condi- ton. Harvesting in the winter wheat belt has been interrupted somewhat by heavy rains. Corn generally has made good progress. ~ '}f :' -

 From the large buying of American stocks for London account yesterday, in connection with the settlement, the impression was common that foreign traders in our stocks again were badly "WhipsaWed, having, overestimated the effect of the Morocco scare"

The gross is the largest for May in the company z history, being $507,0O0 over last year, but the net is the smallest since 1901 The surplus this year has decreased over $3,000,000 and will be at the end of the fiscal year the, lowest in several years. 1T
 The bringing out" of many special ties at midday aroused the suspicion oi traders at once. They inferred that it meant that the standard issues were high enough to invite at least 8 tenn. porary halt.
 Both the good news on the foreign situation and the high prices made soor after the opening were used to realize on. E@

PEACE SEEMS NEAR
 FOR THE EQUITABLE
COUNSEL uNTERMEYER SAYS so- LUTON OF soclETY's TRou- BLEs SEEMS AT HAND-HYDE WANTS JUSTICE.

New York, June 4-Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for Vice President Hyde of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, made a statement tonight in which he declared that a solution of the troubles in the so- ciety seemed near. The statement fol- lows:
 At no time since the trouble began has the prospect for peaceful and permanent solution, satisfactory to all in- terests, been so promising as at the pres. ent time The next few days are likely to see important developments in that direction. Every energy is being direct ed to that end and we are most sangune of results. l am not at liberty to say more at this time.
 Acting on legal advice. MT. Hyde will shortly begin proceedings to determine the question of the syndicate profits that were criticized in the Prick report, and most unjustly so as we claim. When the subject is fully understood, l am sure every right minded person will agree that he was morally as well as legally entitled to these profits, and that the so- ciety had nothing to do with it. What ever else may happen, MT. Hyde Will not pause in his determination to secure public investigation of these baseless charges, which are so little understood, and which have created such an un- reasoning prejudice in the public mind. it is amazing on what sim preteXt men honest lives are misjudged at times or public excitement. but we are confident that Justice and fair play will prevail in the end. MT. Hyde will bid his time.'

ANCIENT RELICS FOUND.
Workmen in Mexico Unearth Re-
 mains of Ancient Temples.

Mexico City, June 4.-Laborers ex- cavating a trench for the underground cable system of the telephone com pany near Cinco de Mayo street h(ve struck a number of clay utensils, con crete foundations of temples and pot tery covered with hieroglyphics; also Spanish coins whose dates are unde- cipherable, but which, mingling with t..e pottery. induces the supposition that the antiquities found appertain to periods of the conquest when Cor tez razed every building in the Aztec capital.
 Among the ruins thus unearthed, Professor Batres said today that the government would doubtless find a large block of lava from the eruption of Popocapetl more than one hundred years ago. What is uncovered shows evidence of having been built on the runs of another city lower down. The walls are covered with hiero- glyphics, which are partially effaced by tae drilling of holes through the e Id masses.
 Professor is eager to obtain govern mental permission ito excavate below the present find for older remains. which he is satisfied exist underneath, especially in viewj of similar discoy- cries made in 1900)

HOPE IF PEACE
 FADES AWAY Little Chance for Early Sett|e- nsnt of Chicago Strike PRESIDENT SHEA TALKS
Blames Employers for Blocking Set tlement-strike May Be Still Further Extended Today.
 Both Sides Confident.

Chicago, June 4-An adjustment of the teamsters' strike by mediation seems as remote tonight as 1t did two months ago. Peace negotiations begun last week. which pI omised to bring about an micable ad- justment of the difficulty, have been abandoned, for the present al least, and the strike will be allowed to lake it's nat ural course. according to Pr sident Shea of the teamsters organization. A natural course means enc of two things-either a spread of the strike or defeat for the union, as all the business firms now in- volved in the trouble absolutely refuse to concede anything further In the con troversy to bring about a settlement.
 Negotiations of.
 Peace negotiations are off for all time" said Levy Mayer chief counsel for the employers tonight. "We are ab- solutely finished with all conferences with the strikers. The only thing that pre- vented a settlement of the whole trouble last night was pique on the part of Pres ident Shea because he had been sighted in the conference and was angered on account of his arrest in connection with libel charges filed by MT. Thorne of Mont gomery Ward & Co. The only way that settlement can be reached now Is for the strikers to acknowledge defeat"
 'The employers blocked a settlement last night" said President Shea today Their objection to the men wearing union buttons and a refusal to agree not to discriminate against the strikers was all that prevented the calling off of the strike We feel that our position is as strong as 1t was a month ago, and we are not going to give in, now that we be- lieve that we have the struggle practi- cally won. Those business firms involved In the strike are losing money every day and they are getting tired If it. They will soon be willing to sue for peace. Our men are perfectly satisfied with mat ters as they are, and we are not going to accept any proposition from the em- ployers which would in any way effect the standing of the teamsters unlon."
 Depends on Meeting Today
 The spread of the strike all depends upon meeting to be held tomorrow be- tween the Chicago Team Owners asso- citation and the Commission Merchants association. This meeting has been called for the purpose of deciding whether the two associations will make deliveries to the strike-bound houses. Arrangements will be made to meet any emergency that may arise in case the decision of the truck drivers to be taken Tuesday is against the proposition of making deliv- cries, irrespective of whether firms are involved in the strike or not
 The majority of the members of these two teaming organizations is said to be in favor of making deliveries to the boy cotted houses, and should their drivers refuse to do so it is the general belief that all of these men will go on strike Should they do so 1t would bring several thousand more workmen into the strike.

REAR ADMIRAL TRAIN
 NAMES COMMITTEE
CONDITION OF RUSSIAN VESSELS AT MANILA WILL BE lNVESTl- GATED ENQUlST TELLS OF THE FIGHT.

Manila, June 4-Rear Admiral Train las appointed the following board to in- vestigate the condition of the Russian warshps which arrived here yesterday and said to be in an unseaworthy condi- ton:
 Commander C. Atkins, Lieutenant Commander McElroy and the Ohio's car penter, Hardin.
 The board will begin it's investigation of the warships immediately. Rear Ad- miral Train has offered the Russian ships the necessary coal in lieu of four days stay here, but there is question whether the Russians will be able to carry such quantity of coal on account of their dam aged hulls. The deaths today aboard the Russian ships now bring the total num- Der of killed up to seventy and there are five additional cases in the hospital. American navy surgeons are assisting the Russian surgeons in their work of caring for the wounded.
 Rear Admiral Enquist now claims that he lost his flagship in the naval fight, and then transferred his flag to the Au- rora and left the fight Saturday night. He said that he knew that the fight was continued Sunday. He declared that the Japanese attack was so sudden and fero- clous that his section was completely overwhelmed The ships of his section while attempting to reach Vladivostok were at the same time looking for a fight with the Japanese and when en- coUntered their opponents fought gal lantly.
 The Russian ships are now taking on food supplies. The naval board after an examination into the condition of the Russian warships reported that the Oleg will require sixty days, the Aurora thirty days and the Jemtchug seven days to ef- feet repairs. Admiral Enquist has re- quested permission to repair them, say ing that he would be unable to sail except in a smooth sea on account of his vessels needing patching near the. water line. The Japanese consul at Manila called on Governor General Wright twice today to make inquiries regarding the disposition of the Russian vesse B.
