NEW YORK, May H.-Securlties MAJ, mar
kets at all the great cent centeTs todav a. and il
seemed that the immediate coIlperii,d5s lpl,e,.id 3
ca1Ise was the bad outlook for the Worio
crops ..o,s,o,iIv dis
credited nv the fact that stocks rose ~
New York yesterday when wheat opei,teu
and that the reaction in the wheat marks
today was accompanied by oecliiie ~
stocks. ,., ho ad-
vanced in explanation of these seeminSlS
contradictory movements. Besiues ,In5
special operations in yesterday ;on sIoon
market designed to sustain or li1t prices
it was evident that an outstanding snore
interest was seeking to take aoVaiIase
of the bad crop news to cover snol1 1,o,,i,,y Ill
tracts. The fact that their coVeL,lils ,nS
operations were effective in lifting prices
was significant of the narrow speculatixe
interest in the present stock InalhG., t,
either on the long or snort sue, pa 49, ~
as q result of the large diversion Oh spec
uative anxiety. ., L.,
ON the other hand, today's reaction IN
the wheat market was attributed IN larse
part to the heavy selling 10 take PloneS
induced by the recent extensive aoVance
in the price of wheat .
This reaction did not serve entirely 10
relieve apprehension over the crop pros
pect The large shortage IN the Wihter .is
wheat crop already indicated makes tle
spring wheat seeding a matter or para
mount interest in the forming OF opinion
in the markets. The weather news from
the spring wheat regions today indicated
continued temperature deficiencies which
made conditions unfavorable for seeing.
The violent decline in Canadian racine
was traceable to this cause.
THAT stock also reflected the depressed
conditions in foreign securities markets,
owing to the large volume of it in foreign
hands. Last prices for stocks showed no
important recovery from the low Levels.
Bonds were heavy Total sales par
value, $1,252000.
United States bonds were unchanged

Give GLOWING Reports

New York Journal of Commerce:
Financial men who have this week re-
turned from tours in the west have
become whole-souled optimlsts. They
declare with enthusiasm that every
mile of the continent yields unques-
tionable proofs of prosperity such as
the denizens of the lower end of Man
haitian Island cannot realize. Said one
returned traveller: THE farmers are
all living in good houses. They have
paid off their mortgages. Schools are
rising on all Sides and everywhere
you go you see we'll dressed, healthy
children. Some of the newer cities are
wonderful. Goldfield has shot up out
of the Nevada desert like a mush-
room. Today it has fine stone build
ings, luxurious hotels. streets that do
not suffer in comparison with those
OF New York and excellent banking
facilities. 1t is true that a lot of mines
have been run with printers ink in
stead of with pick and shovel, but this
does not mean that a great many of
the new properties are not of remark
able richness. 1t is a thousand pities
that Wall street could not be loaded
on a train and taken for whirl
through the west"

We Have Our Share

THE United States has one-fifth of
all the money in the civilized world,
although it contains only ne-sixteenth
of the total population the Wall
street Journal points out. 1T holds
upward of 2s per cent of all the gold
in the worlds coinage. 1t has more
gold than any other country on the
face of the globe France stands next
as a reservoir of gold. but the United
States has more gold than France and
England put together. Moreover, it
has more gold in banks as reserve
against credits than any other coun-
try. The power of money is, there
fore. greater in the United States than
elsewhere. France, which does COM
para lively little business by the use of
checks. has considerably more gold in
circulation outside of the banks than
the United States. The United States
also contains more silver coinage than
any other. country. it's proportion of
the worlds silver being about 21 per
cent"

Sanity is Necessary,
Says Shaw.

Leslie NJ. Shaw. former secretary
Of the treasury, authorized the follow
ing interview on the present financial
and industrial conditions today;
'Our farms produce more than So, 500, p
O00,00Q per annum and the prospect is
good Tor an average crop. Our mines
Yield more that 81 , 500, coo, 900 and
our forests more than 81 ,0o0, 600, 900,
and neither of these sources of wealth
has been exhausted. The output Of
our factories, in other than food pro-
duets, is $l2, 900, 600, 600, and no fires
have been eXtinguished. The railways
earn more than 81, COO, 900, 600 ard they
are all in successful operation. The
payroils of our factories and railways
aggregate approximately SO, 500, 600,
900, and the scale of wages has not
been reduced. In other words, the
real sources Of the peoples wealth
ave not yet been effected and the
ability 81 industrial concerns TO pay
dividends is not measured by the mar
ket price Of their stock. Logical rea-
sons for serious conditions are there
fore wanting. Psychological reasons
are never wanting.

if the banks refuse to grant accom-

public decline to place orders, then
we will very soon witness the effects.
LET those who think that times of
disaster follow each other at regular
intervals bear in mind that this coun-
