Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory II the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, It Is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and flneness OF the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

The benefits which Los Angeles
would derive just now from an an
nouncement that $350,000 had been
raised for Young Mems Christian as
sociation would be worth many times
the amount which the building cost.
ard in addition to that, the success of
this enterprise would give assurance to
the citizens that eve-A more effective
work would be performed by the asso-
citation among the young men of the
city than has been possible in the past.
1t is a significant fact that there is
not at present a city in the country Of
anywhere near the size of Los Angeles
that is without a Young Mems Chris
tian association building or a fund for
the erection of such building.
In many of these cities the PROPOSE
tion to erect building has been re-
ceived with the greatest enthusiasm
and the appeal for funds has met with
the most liberal response.
It's Up to Los Angeles
There has been comparatively little
trouble in raising amounts nearly as
large as the one asked for by the Los
Angeles association, and in some in
stances the subscriptions have been
found to exceed greatly the figure de-
cided upon by the directors
1t now remains for Los Angeles to
fall into line, and show that it can do
what other cities have done. Only one
day remains in which to send In sub
scriptions, but the directors feel that
in that one day the citizens will come
forward and contribute the amount still
needed to complete the fund of $3.50, 900.
Among the subscriptions received
yesterday was one for $50 from Major
Elijah w. Halford, who was private
secretary to the late President Harri-
son. Major Halford, who at present is
living in Atlanta. Ga, is a warm per-
sonal friend of General Secretary Lu-
ther of the local Y. M. C. A., and in a
letter to Mr.. Luther he asks to be
counted in on the building project to
the extent of $50.

DRoG PING TENDENCY IN ALL

Comments on the Weekly Bank slater
ment-Psssage Of Railroad Rate
Bill by the Senate of No ln-
fluence on Trading
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 19-There was no
market for stocks worthy Of the name
today and the sluggish drift of prices was
of no consequence Tho stagnation of
the trading, however, is significant of
the growing conviction of the unpro-
pituors outlook for any large specua-
tive attempts in the present stock mar
ket Prices showed a dropping tendency
from the inaniton of the market, but
hardened to some extent before the clos
ing and left final prices inslgnlficantly
changed, from last night.
The most important change in the bank
statement was in the last loan item The
SIS, 900 loan expansion is clearly due
to other cause than stock market bor-
rowing and the Pennsylvania note issue
Is given credit for the increase.
Although over $l6,O00000 of gold was re-
ceived by incoming steamers this week
the United States treasury had claims
upon the banks for an equivalent amount
on account of government funds ad-
vanced to the banks at the time they en-
gagged the gold under pledge of return
of government deposits when the gold ar
rived. The cash item of the banks, there
fore, shows only a nominal change on
the week.
The passage by the senate of the rail
way rate bill was without apparent in
fiuence on the market. An explanation
offered for the torpid state of the bond
market and the dropping tendency of
prices there is the elimination Of a large
absorptive power on the part of life in
surance companies which played an i'm
portant part early in the bond market.
1t is supposed that some liquidation on
the part of the insurance companies on
account of the San Francisco losses is
an effect in the bond market also. These
conditions are believed to help to account
for the resort by the Pennsylvania COM
pany to insure it's note issue in prefer
ence to a bond issue at this time and
to be supplementary to the actual money
market.

AS a result of persistent effort on
the part of the various committees of
the Young Mems Christian association
the 100000 mark was nearly reached
in the campaign for funds for new
building last night.
This means that the complete sue
cess of the undertaking now depends
upon the raising of a little more than
$50, 900 between now and 1890 o'clock
tomorrow night, when the time limit
fixed by the directors of the associa-
tion will expire.
Unquestionab bly, this is good deal
of money to raise in one day, but the
experience of other cities, and many of
them much smaller and less prosper
GUS than Los Angeles, shows that it
can be done.
All that is needed is a continuation
of that effort which has heen put forth
in the last few days by the men who
have this matter at heart, supplement-
ed by the support of every friend of
the associa ton.
The directors of the Y. M. C. A. can
not bear the full responsibility of this
work alone.
1t will be a physical impossibility for
them to cover the entire field and to
see all the people who are in position
to give and doubtless would be willing
to give If personally solicited.
Everybody's Help Needed
They must have the assistance of
everybody interested in the Young
Mems Christian association; of men
who will devote at least one day to this
work with a view to giving Los An
geles Young Mems Christiap associa-
tion building that not only Will ena BILE
the organization to carry ON it's work
to the best advantage, but which also
will be a credit to the city.
The subscription list contains the
names of some of the leading business
and professional men of Los Angeles.
These men have given sums ranging
all the way from $500 to $4,000, because
they know what the Young Mems
Christian association is doing in the
way of reaching out and caring for
young men, and because they are anx-
ious that the scope of this work shall
be greatly extended.
They believe II to be to their indi-
vidual interest and to the interest OF
the entire community that the influence
OF this organization be made as far
reaching as possible.
They look upon such subscriptions as

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Wheat Prices Affected by Rains in
the West-Bearish Senti-
nent in Corn Pit
Ry Associated Press.


CHICAGO, May 19-The wheat market
was slightly easier at the opening be-
cause of selling by pit traders, who were
influenced by reports of slight rains in
Kansas and Missouri. These offerings,
however, were readily taken by shorts
and commission houses and the market
soon became firm, remaining so until
the close, July opened shade lower to
a shade higher, at S21a@S29s, sold to s2as
@S21a and advanced to S3B. Final quo
tations were 7s@1s higher, at SO.
Sentiment in the corn pit was bearish
but an official forecast of frost tonight
in Illinois had an unsteadying effect on
prices. The market closed steady. July
closed at 47A, loss of "a. Dry weather
together with the predictions of frost
caused a strong market all day in the
oats pit. July closed at 1875, a gain of
1s6DA.
An easier tone prevailed in the pro-
vision market and trading was very
quiet. Pit traders sold moderately be-
cause of sc decline in live hogs. At
the close July pork was off 5@71sc, lard
was down 10c and ribs were a @Aade
lower.
