FRACTION AL ADVANCES
SLIGHT RECOVERY OF STOCKS IN
MARKET THIS MORNING.



NEW YORK, May 23.-Despite feversh
fluctuations stocks sold in the main in the
forenoon dealings today at fractional ad-
vances over last nights close. which was
generally made at sharp recovery from
the bottom of yesterday.
London sent over prices for Americans
this morning, showing an upward tendency
but the local opening was made under
fairly heavy pressure, with irregular price
changes There was a sharp attack on the
list toward the end of the first quarter hour
but when it became known about that time
that the Merchants Trust Company had
been closed by the state banking superin-
tendent. the whole list rallied fractionally
and held the advance pretty we'll Activ-
ity fell away on the recovery, however.
The rally with which the news of the
closing of the Merchants Trust Company
was received was characteristic of Wall
street, which Is disposed to buy stocks
when the bad news is out The closing of
the company is regarded as closing an in
cldent thai has been grossly exaggerated.
The statement issued in banking quarters
that the company had been in a bad way
since 1903, and would doubtless have been
forced 10 close long ago IL 1t had been re-
garded as in any way a menace to the
financial community.
There were no rumOrs this morning OF
further weakness anywhere else.
President Simmons of the Fourth National
Bank said: THE closing of the Merchants
Trust Company is too small matter to
have any effect on the banking situation.
That is absolutely sound
With the beginning Of the second hour
buying increased and further general gains
were scored. Shelters, Steel preferred.
Copper st. Paul and Union Pacific sold up
from 3. to Ia above the low prices OF the
first hour.

statement at IL 80 o'clock: II have been
the president only since January of this
year, having assumed the Office on the ex-
press understanding that was to be per-
mitted to retire as soon as suitable pres
ident could be selected.
Prior to that time, in 1904, had been a
director and vice president, but was very
seriously Ill during most of the year, and
had no special knowledge Of the affairs
of the trust company.
when 1 took Office in January of this
year began an investigation of the as
AS the result of such an investigation 1
have been advised and have determined
that 1t Is IN the interests Of the depositors
to close the institution, and accordingly
called a meeting of the directors for this
morning, as a result of which we have
suspended business.
among the assets which I found on TAX
ing office were a large amount of per cent
first mortgage bonds of the Hudson Valley
Railroad Company and a large block OF
bonds of the Rutland properties of Yer
mont including the street railway. gas and
eleAS light works.
these twp classes of securities at different
times, which are still unpaid. amounting
together to over 100000.
1--WE have been repeatedly assured since
i look once tIldt THESE securities are worth
almost IL not the entire amount of the loan,
but all efforts to realize on them have, up
to this time, proved futile. If they have
any such value there is large surplus"

preted the Consul's testimony. No
regular Chinese interpreter in the city
spoke the Consuls dialect, it was
stated, and so the yice-consul was

Judge Coffey smiled when informed
by the consul that there were no at
!orneys at law practising in China, and
that lawyers were not wanted in the
courts there, the judges doing all the
questioning to ascertain the facts.
The consul stated that he was ac-
quainted with the laws of the Chinese
empire and had read the Chinese law
relative to marriage. He identified
Chinese books which were produced in

A Japanese Widows Hail.

When a Japanese woman becomes a
widow it is customary for her to cut
off a part of her hair and to bury it
In the coffin with the body of her hus-
band, but as she may please herself
about it this sacrifice is not often
large enough to spoil her pretty Golf
fure, unless. indeed. she determine to
wear forever the badge of widowhood
and give her life in complete devotion
to the memory of the departed, in
which case she cuts it off and thence.
forth never permits it to grow.
There are a great many women in
Japan, and especially IN the heart OF
the country, where foreign influence
has never reached, who wear their
hair bobbed like small boys and
oftentimes parted jauntily on the side;
and by this sign one may be sure that
they are widows, and that they hang
many prayer slips at the temple doors
and give their passing days in patient.

home wherein they are sure to be

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Nothing cures miseries better than
counting mercies.
The richest harvest is crop of re-
f1ected happiness.
There is no Thanksgiving without
gratitude and giving.
The rich man cannot have better
bank than the poor mans cellar.
The lowly place of service may b.
the mountain top of communion.
To admire virtue without seekin.
to emulate it is to enervate the soul
A bushel of good potatoes may d,
more good than a wagon-load of pray
er.
The evil never worries over the mar
who saves all his smiles for the strang
or.
If you would be leader you mus
have way Of laughing at ridicule anf
rocks.
