projected, including the borrowings of Bra

home corporations, dealers promptly took

some covering operations the markets i'm
proved only to droop again in sympathy
with American securities.
The business in American rails Is still
shrinking. and the narketrhere gets little
encouragement. The cut in steel prices
and rumors of receiverships checked local
enthusiasm, but with small offerings and
moderate professional support values were
held up until Friday. when the announce

The wheat market opened strong owing
to an active general demand. which was
brought out by the unfavorable weather
conditions for the new crop in parts OF

of more than Id at Liverpool. Numerous
crop damage reports were received dur

M1DsH1PMEN's SUMMER CRUISE
Practice Base Changed From the
Roads to New London.

After careful consideration Of all the
conditions, climatic and others. it has
been decided by the Navy Department to
change the base Of the Naval Academy
practice squadron from Hampton roads,
Va, to New London. Conn. The practice
squadron. which has on board about 600
midshipmen from the Naval Academy at
Annapolis consists of the Olympia. the
Chicago, the Hartford. the Arkansas and
the Nevada.
It was deemed advisable by the authori-
ties of the Navy Department to change
the base because it was felt 1t would be
better for the midshipmen to be for the
summer in a climate different from that
at Hampton roads, which substantially
is the same as that at Annapolis. The
change was decided upon after consul
tation between Secretary Metcalf and AS
sistant Secretary Newberry. The orders
have not been issued yet but the squad
ron will have its base at New London
after the 22d instant.

Some Uneasiness Marked the
Weekend Dealings.
FIRMNESS BEFORE CLOSE
New U. P. Bond Quotation Corrected
First Impression.
STEEL REPORTS WERE GOOD
Bank Statement Supplied No Sur
prises-Fine Cash Gain Shown.
Loan Expansion Expected.

NEW YORK. June 13.-There was some
renewal Of uneasiness among speculative
holders of stocks today. which prompted
the throwing over of holdings yesterday
on account of the funding Erie bond
coupons and the closing Of subscriptions
for the Union Pacific bonds. tone OF
greater assurance developed before the
market closed. London was markedly dis
pleased with the Erie incident. and con-
tinued to sell those securities freely.
The new Union Pacific bonds were adj
mitted to quotation on the stock ex-
change when issued" and dealings in
the bonds on that basis at 9513. the sub
scription price. and above. had an effect
in correcting the unfavorable impression
made by yesterdays decline below the
subscription price
Bankers who underworld the bonds
stated that small bidders would receive
the full amount applied for. while larger
applicants would receive 60 per cent of
the bids. the amount apportioned to the
respective classes. however. not being
stated. Neither was the amount OF for
eign subscription stated.
1t was inferred that some of the bid
ders had made overapplic ations in the
expectation that full allotments would
not be made and were sellers at the de-
cline 10 ID WuSn tnSy ledfnSQ Tie cAtcIl
of the bonds which would be allotted to
them.
q. P. Overapplications.
The precedent of the Pennsylvania
bond subscription. when applicants re-
ceived only per cent of the amounts bid
for and small bids were thrown out alto
gether. seems to have influenced the over
applications in this case. which. however.
met with no such active competition as
in the case of the Pennsylvania issue.
Reports Of large assumptions among
steel mills helped to steady stocks and
moderate improvement in mercantile lines
reported by the commercial agencies had
. good influence. The shading of the
Union Pacific bonds to below the SUBJ
iscription price again late in the dealings
caused hesitating movement in the
rally, but the market closed steady.
The bank statement supplied no sur
prises- The cash accretion was, fully re-
fiected in the statement of actual condi-
lions and other banks showed a hand
some cash gain as we'll. The loan ex-
pansion was expected in view of the

Western Texas. Kuteman had been tho Jaw partner of Gov. James s. Hogg. This partnership lasted two yeats, and Dallas, the largest town in the state, seemd to invite the young lawyer. Mir. Littletou remained in Dallas from 1893 to 1896, dur Ing which time he was county attorney and had the usual misdemeanor cases that came within the jurisdictions of that minor court.
 In beginning his career as a lawyer young Littleton met with those difficulties which result from a limited common school education; the same that he met with in studying the fundamentals of the law preparatory to admission to the bar the greater the achievement under such embarrassment.
 Martin w. Lttleton went to New York city in 1896 and had not been in his new home more than year before he at tracted attention as a public speaker, and through the successive stages of as- sistant district attorney of Kings county, president of the Borough of Brooklyn, and permanent chairman of the democratic convention at Saratoga in 1902. he became one of the best known public men in Now York
 There sometimes seem to be some lucky circumstances that captivating
 
 his advantage in making a big speech. For instance, recall that when MT. Littleton was made permanent chair man of the Saratoga convention in 1902 he made a thrilling speech accepting the honor, and soon held the vast ar- dience in breathless silence for two h ours. There were no questions dividing the delegates into factions, and party spirit between candidates was not run ming high. The occasion was calm and unauspcious as to any form of excite ment, but taking advantage of a lamentable condition in the coal min ing regions caused by the general strike at that time, he warned his fei- low democrats against adopting any platform tEat did not partalle of per- feet sympathy with the toilers in the dark and sunless regions underneath the earth, happily adopting a phrase of lis own fertile brain, the blight or the black peril" that caused the con- vention to shake the building with tu- multuous applause.
 This speech was the making of him in the democratic politics of his state.
 Soon after this occurrence he was elected president of the Borough of Erookly where. as chief executive of that subdivision of Greater New York. ne devoted himself to the practical su- pervision of municipal affairs.
 Tn 1904. when the democracy of New York was looking about to find some able speaker to place Judge Parker s name before the national convention, all eyes were at once turned upon Litteton and the New York candidate himself requested him to present his name to th1 national convention. In September of the same year he attended the State demo- cratic convention at Saratoga and was ST rear being nominated for governor that he was told to be prepared to signify his acceptance m a short speech, but the fear that his youth and a short residence ie New York state might initiate against lis strength before the people. it was thought best to give the honor to D
