HENRY cLEWs LETTER.

A somewhat better feeling de-
veloped in Wall Street after the
Independence holiday This was due
entirely to partial improvement in the
monetary situation. Recent liquida-
tion released considerable funds preyi-
ously locked up, and the market is
also now free from the disturbance
incidental to preparations for nearly
S160,000,000 of July disbursements
The decline in sterling was also bene-
fetal to both money and stock
markets. Further, drop of 10 to 60
points in active securities during the
last six months has brought about at
least a partial readjustment in values.
1t is worth while noting few of these
declines. st. Paul dropped over 20
points since January, the high level
period of 1906; Northwest dropped
over 40 points during the same in

As persistently pointed out in these
advices for months past. it was evi
dent that either money or secudities
must decline. The latter were sus
tanned by main force as long as posi-
BILE, but when this failed reaction was
inevitable. That such decline al
4 the above could have been endured
without panic, or even semblance OF
trouble. is remarkable testimony tic
the inherent strength of both the
financial and business situations
There are no rumors of trouble, and
none at present expected. The de
cline has evidently fallen upon those
best able to bear it, the public having
had small share in speculation during
the current year. AS to whether
prices have reached their bottom leye
or not, that is largely pro- lematical
1 In l any case the market seems entitled
TO a moderate recovery after such Z
radical decline, although much de
Ponds upon the future course Of none
tary affairs For the next six weeks
or until crop demands assert them
selves, 1t should be clear sailing in the
money market. ~

BUNDLE sNATcHERs AT WORK
Organized Gang of Boys Believed I'd
Be Operating in This City
Auain

Bundle snatchers are at work in the
city. Several cases were reported to
the police yesterday. and it is thought
an organized gang Of boys is operating
here.
About two months ago the detectives
discovered that a modern Fagin was
teaching small boys to steal packages
from delivery wagons. The boys would
watch their chance and take a bundle
or small package from a wagon drawn
up at the curb. Running at full speed,
they would transfer the package to the
fence" and then stroll along uncon-
cernedly. Several arrests were made.
but the.~police were unable TO secure
convictions.
Finally the man who was, behind tho
boys was arrested for another crime
and is now serving a sentence in San
Quentin. The stealing Of bundles
ceased with his arrest
Yesterday 1t was evident TO the police
that bundle snatchers were again at
work and a detective was detailed 10
secure evidence. w. M. Statham OF the
City Dye works reported that he left
his wagon for a few minutes on the
street and when he returned a valuable
dress was missing. He was informed
that small boy had been seen loiter-
Ing about his wagon.
Charles Huston of 2l6 South Los An
geles street said that two boxes oe
pongee silk shirts were stolen from his
wagon while standing on Spring street.
Several bundles OF clothing We're re-
ported stolen from the room OF Charles
Chaplin at the York.

Active in Corn and
Oats
BY Associated Press.

CHICAGO, May 16.-Notwithstanding
reports of additional showers Throughout
the winter wheat section, the market
opened firm on a good demand by COM
mission houses. The buying was due to
some extent to the steady tone of Liver
pool cables. Another reason for the ini-
tial flrmness was the continued decrease
in stocks of wheat at Minneapolis. Later
came reports from the southwest that
rust has made its appearance in several
places in Oklahoma and Texas. During
the last half-hour a portion of the early
gain was. lost on profit taking. The
market, however, closed strong. July
opened 1s@D14 higher at S0%, advanced to
Slss and closed higher at S1AQS1ssc, net

mated than for some time past and the
