SOME CURIOUS FACTS AND FIGURES

What are known as "exhibits" in law cases range from sheets of paper to boilers and other large articles. At Various times an omnipva- motor car. and a cab have been on view in the private roadway by the side of the London Law Courts, and as they could not be brought into the witness box the judge and jury have had to go out and inspect them in the open. One of the most pouderous exhibits" of this kind was a large ships boiler furnace. which was conveyed. from Swansea for inspection.
 The extraordinary resuscitating pow CT of light recently received a curious illustration in the silver mines at Lau- rum. A mine had been abandoned B. coo years, when some pony seed was found bepeath the slag. The s1ag be- ing moved. in a short time the entire space was covered with the most gor- geous show of poppies. After their twenty centuries rest they had bloomed as vigorously as if they had been borne by flowers of yesterday.
 To ascertain what wood is the most durable some interesting experiments have been made, and the following rec suits obtained: Birch and poplar de- cayed in three years, willow and horse chenstnut in four years, maple and beech in five years, elm and ash in seven years, oak and Scottish fir de- cayed to the depth of half an inch in seven years. and juniper was unin- jured at the expiration of the seven years.
 Germany, which stands at the head of Europe for the number of it's news papers. has over $500. of which 800 are dailies. England takes the second place with some 5000. but has the most datlies-S09 in all. France Is close be- hind with 2,S00, of which a quarter ap- pear daily, bi or tri weekly. Italy has 1900, while in order follow Austria, Spain, Russia, Greece and Switzerland.

MARKET IS QUIET
 AND IRREGULAR Slight Rally Followed Reading of Weather Report SALES WERE 10000 BALES Rumors of Showers in Texas and Re. ports of Less Active Spot De-
 mand Were Depress-
 Ing Factors.

New York, June 12.-The cotton market was quiet and irregular during today's session with the close points higher on near, to points lower on more dis tant months. Sales for the day were es- timated at about 10000 bales.
 The opening was firm at an advance of to points with the old crop months leading the advance on a renewal of cov- ering by shorts which were influenced by f1rmer Liverpool cables Almost at once after the opening, however, July in New Orleans broke about 10 points and the list here eased off under realizing. July continued relatively firm on the de- cline so far as the local market was con cerned and held an advance of about 3 points, while later positions sold 1 to 3 points net lower. A rally of a few points followed the publication of the weekly weather report at midday but the mar ket eased off again toward the close, ru- mors of showers In Texas and reports of less active spot demand being de- pressing factors as well as the absence of fresh buying for long account and the tendency among smaller longs to take profits.
 Receipts at the ports 5141 bales against 12,396 last week and 1o,8S2 last year. For the week 400OO bales against 55.17O last week and s0.S76 last year. Today's re- ceipts at New Orleans 94S bales, against 4115 last year and at Houston 1922 bales. against 4645 last year

elbert c cIaY,s Market Letter.

According to cables. no further improve ment in spot sales abroad can be looked for for some time to come, as 1t Is gen. erally supposed there that spinners are well stocked, and will fall back on their reserves rather than to make new pur- chases Tn a measure. this belief, judging from recent transactions, is well-founded, as sales today amount to only 5000 bales at an advance of points, options closing points higher.
 The buying in of July short interests prices, and is of sufficient strength to more than offset the bearish weather map. The governments review of the weather for the past week, however. denoted the existence of droughty conditions in sey- eral states, but it's effect was lessened by the coplous rains yesterday in south ern Texas and the Atlantic states, and the continued presence of the storm over Florida, which appears to be extending both westward and to the north makes prospects excellent for further rains to- day and tomorrow, With the final liqui- dation of the July position and the les- sening of the artificial strength which the process imparts, the market will then be in a position to more materially reflect the excellent progress thus far made by the growing crop, and unless some unfore- seen circumstance should arise to stimu- late prices. the sales of the new crop would doubtless prove the most profit able course to pursue.

AhercrombIe e ools cotton Letter.

The undertone of the market continues steady on account of the firmness With which spots are held in the south and for fear of a development of prolonged drouth in the southern portion or the western belt Beneficial showers occurred over night at points in southwest Texas and over the east gulf and south Atlantic states and the temperature was some- what lower in all sections. The rains In south Texas, however were looked upon as being Insignificant, only ranging from h to sA of an inch, but the precipitation was rather heavy in the districts of Sa- vannah and Charleston. Liverpool ruled comparatively steady by closing to points higher than yesterday but spot sales there were only 1000 bales at an advance of 6 points. Middling. S.11. As has been noted of late, summer months show the most strength. at one time show ing a rise of points while October in- proved but points. The weekly weather report was rather favorable in It's sum- mary, but traders gave more considera- tion to the report by states which made mention of drouth in south Texas. in Louisiana and in Alabama The rains of the past twenty-four hours have relieved the situation In Alabama, and in the South Atlantic states, and the showers along the Texas coast have been of benefit to vegetation in that section. There was less activity in spots here today, prac- tically nothing doing and the market was said to be unchanged

FURTHER DULLNESS
 IN STOCK MARKET Movement Was Upward in the
 First Hour GRAIN REPORTS ARE GOOD Grain Carrying Roads Are Favorably Affected By Thls Development. General Satisfaction Over
 Crop Situation.
GRAIN REPORTS ARE GOOD

New York, June 12.-Furthor dullness was shown by the stock market today. The movement for the most part upward in the early hour, was largely in the high priced issues, such as Delaware and Hud- son, spring wheat lines, which embraced St. Paul and the Hill roads, Union Pacific, New York Central, Pennsylvania and its allied lines, and the Gould properties. Re- ports of coming contest to overthrow the present management of the Delaware and Hudson company on charges of ex- travagance, and lack of progress received little credit inasmuch as it is generally known that the stock is closely held.
 St. Paul and the other grain-carrying roads were favorably affected at the out set by the previous days reports Of the high average shown for spring wheat in the northwest. Pennsylvania fallowed un- confirmed rumors of the unsuccessful con- sumation of the company's Paris loan, which has been hanging for the past fort night. The improved showing of the Gould properties was accepted as direct re- feetion upon the optimistic statements attributedto their titular head. There was no other news to accept for the better tone of the market, certainly none of a specific character. though general satis- faction seemed to be felt at the crop and business conditions of the country. In this connection it may be stated that Wall street, especially the less conservative ele- ment, is viewing with unusual compla ceney the adjournment of Congress now almost in sight. Business dwindled and prices sagged before the end of the morn ing session. Traders took hand and played for reaction, in which they were partly successful.
 Undoubtedly the principal reason for the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-06-13

setback of the late session came from the weekly crop report which told Of lack of rain in Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and Virginia, while severe drouths were reported from southern Tex as and the general Gulf districts. and too much rain in the upper Missouri valley and upper lake regions Concurrent With this news, came boom in wheat and the other commodity markets which seemed to be engineered by the coterie of pro- fessionals so often prominent in stocks. St. Paurs upward course was not arrest ed despite the statement from an authori- tative source that the oompanys plans for financing the Pacific coast extension are not to be increased in the immediate future. That stock was almost the one strong feature of the late trading though Pennsylvania held firm.
 Among the weak issues were Union Pa cific. Amalgamated Copper and Reading while the general list reflected heavy undertone The closing was fairly active. with a feeble rally which advanced prices from the lowest level.
 For the most part, however, the days gains were wiped out Honey market conditions were unchanged. Call loans ruled around 8 per cent. The demand for time loans was light. Movements on for eign exchange were uninteresting, beyond Steauy aDSorptlon ol pills' fNetuihs oi currency from the Pacific coast were smaller than usual, while a transfer of $1, 900 to that center for shipment to the Philippines attracted some attention. This is believed to represent the recent sale of bonds in this market for the in- sular government. A number of railroad returns, mostly gross earnings for the first ten months of the fiscal year, were reported, and all showed marked gains. Wabash reached an increase of almost $325, GOO in net for April

Ioveman 6 Cos Market Letter.

After an advance of early in the day. when July contracts sold as high as Il 8, the market showed somewhat of re- actionary tendency which was temporarily checked by the weekly weather report construed as slightly bullsh. During the late after session. however, bearisb fn- fiuences again predominated- and there was some vigorous hammering of prices by a prominent ring trader resulting in July contracts selling as low as 1l19 or IA points down from the top. As soon as the bear pressure was withdrawn, how ever. the market steadied up and scalpers on the short side found 1t difficult to realize profits. Spots were reported steady and unchanged. Sales amounted to 1050 bales of spots and 1900 to arrive. Middling was quoted at 11hc. Differences between July and the new crop months widened again today and at one time the dif- ference between July and October con tracts was nearly 90 points. The only thing that prevented a further widening of differences was free selling of July, for the account of Liverpool, this new business, evidently in the nature of strad- dles between the English market and ours made possible by the extreme ad- vance in the July position here. Crop accounts coming in now from the coun- try are generally very favorable and thero is no doubt that if the present fine pros- poets were to continue for the rest of the summer. a bumper crop would be practically assured.
