STATE OF LETHARGY
IN STOCK MARKET.
Renewed Attack on Prices De-
vclops Good Support for In
flucntial Securities.
TRADERS ARE DISCOURAGED
Attempts Practically Abandoned
at Times, Resulting in Com
dition Of Selni-stagnation.

NEW YORK. May a3,--Thc stock
market to-day relapsed into the condi-
ton OF lethargy from which the spell
of liquidation this week briefly awnk-
ened it. Yesterdays brisk recovery
was due to the retirement of a large
short interest and the usual effect was
seen to-day in the reduction of the
buying necessities which short In
terest involves. The demand was so
far curtailed that renewed attack on
prices was invited, but this attempt
developed the fact that support was
entail stocks. Also there was no such
liquidation induced by the decline in
prices as was dislodged in the bear
raids of Tuesday. Traders thus met
with discouraging factors in which,
every direction they attempted to move
prices. The attempts were practically
abandoned at times. and the trading
was in condition of semista gnation,
with n barely perccptiblc drift of
prices. Tho downward tendency was
renewed at the last. Some steadying
effect was due to the reaction in the
wheat market and the various reports
of improved conditions of the wheat
crop.
The money market was easy on the
surface. This is due in part to the
purpose of lenders to keep their funds
in a form of loans which may be re-
called readily. The condition Of ease
in call loans is regarded as a sign of
the uncertain feeling over the money
prospects.
The 100000 Erie note issue was
the latest addition to the capital neccs-
sites of the railroads. Other issues
are felt to be sure to come. Bankers
keep up their interest in the question
OF withdrawal of government deposits
from the national banks in preparation
for bond redemptions on July 1st. 1t
is held that such Withdrawals might
operate to prevent gold exports, and so
keep resources available for this mar
ket in case of need. The passage of
the two-cent fare bill at Albany was
factor in the weak closing of the
market.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales
were s1,310,00o, par value. United
States new As declined Ia per cent on
call.
Totals sales to-day, $4,000 shares.

BY MOTOR 10 SOUTH POLE.

Early next April in all human prob
 ability the mystery of the South Pole will be solved. so writes William George in the Technical World Maga- zine for December For the stout little
 oak breasted sealer Nimrod will have
 anchored under the towering ice-cliffs
 of King Edward VII. Land. and dash
 will be made over the level ice with
 the help of automobiles of every novel
 pattern: Siberian ponies, special instru
 ments. and all the aids that science can suggest.
 But foremost among all the novelties of the Shackelton expedition are the steel motor cars. specially hardened to withstand an enormous degree of cold. They will transport no passen- gers. being solely for the haulage of stores and provisions-a matter of vital importance. as witnessed by the terri ble outbreak of scurvy among the members of the Discovery expedi- tion.
 These motor cars-the very first to
 be used in polar eXploration-have special sets of wheels for varying quail ities of ground or ice. And when wheels are impossible altogether sledge- runners may he fitted instead; yet the cars will still forge ahead, hauling their long trains of sledges over the ice driven bv 20 horsepower motors of unique pattern, specially de- signed for the purpose.
 Nothing has been left to chance. The petrol has been tested in amazingly
 low temperatures. artifically produced by chemists of the British government Great reliance is placed upon these automobiles. but even should they fail there are the Siberian ponies to fall back upon. These will travel much faster and further than the dogs us- uaily employed all through the long and thrilling history of polar eXplor- ation: and moreover these sturdy lit | tie horses from the Siberian steppes Avill require approximately less to
 eat.
