Why Girls Tell Lies

From the New York Tribune.
 It requires a nice discrimination to make distinction between the one who eXaggerates and the liar.
 Great would be the indignation of most girls if not considered truthful, yet their habit of embroidering the truth makes of 1t a queer fabric Almost better is 1t to deal with one who frankly declares
 the truth never troubles me" than with one who stretches it. The one you do not believe, and no harm is done; the other you first believe, then doubt.
 One exaggerates from various motives. Sometimes it is due to a vivid imagina- ton. The girl hears something. and be- fore long has let her imagination run riot until she actually believer her story. Again. a girl exaggerates from a desire | to be interesting. She wants to create | a sensation, and if truth cannot do 1t she adds to it. A too keen sense of humor
 often leads to exaggeration. A girl sees | the funny side of a story and to make
 others see it she sacrifices the strict | facts.
 | Heedless eXaggeration Is common. A l girl from talking suDerlatives thinks
 them She twill tell you she has seen a l hundred people when she means perhaps | dozen; that a friends new diamond is as big as a hens egg; that someone else was fin frightful rage" when per haps she was slightly peevish. No harm in all this for the speaker is not taken seriously; but it weakens other things she says and makes her conversation without force,

WHEAT PRICES
 CRASH DOWNWARD
Promise of Cooler Weather Starts Selling, Which
 Weakens Wheat

Chicago, June 10.-Wheat prices came down with a crash today and especially for the July delivery. There were signs the big holdings acquired in the May deal had been largely hedged for July and September and that leading source of support was therefore available no longer. Feeling at the close was demor- alized with last sales 1%c to 3ssc under last night. Corn finished %@7sc down. Oats off 1a0ssc and provisions at de- cline of 15c to 40c.
 Promise of cooler weather started the selling which weakened the wheat mar ket to a point where stop loss orders dis closed the hollowness of the situation. Offers by Winnipeg traders to sell at re- markedly low figures in Buffalo had tendency to upset prices here, particular ly as Manitoba export sales, made in Chi cago, were being cancelled today. AS the market had been pulled of late chiefly In view of the crop injury from the extreme hot and dry weather, the probability of change to lower temperature and plenty of moisture before Monday helped bring about almost a complete change of front on the part of local traders, unloading and short selling becoming the order of the day.
 The close was virtually at the low point of the week. During the session July ranged from Ss1sc to 92c, with last sales 3ssc net lower at 8S5sc.
 Selling of corn was heavy and general because of a belief in cooler weather and rains over Sunday. The weeks receipts here were 100000 bushels more than were shippedS out July fiuctuated between 545sc and 55Ac, closing easy. %c off, at 54s4c Cash grades were weak. No. 2 yellow finished at t544@54s4c.
 Oats possessed more strength than other grains, but suffered from predictions or showers The decline in wheat also in duced selling by local longs and by shorts, making the market heavy throughout. High and low points for July were 3sAc and 379sc, with the close 9sc off at 3f9sc.
 The weeks big run of hogs counted against values in the provision pit. Pack CTS sold freely and at the final bell pork was down 321kc to 40c; lard, 171ac to 2oc' and ribs 15c to 20c.
 Future quotations were as follows:

Now Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans June 10-Cotton futures opened barely steady, 1 to 3 points up on the near months and to points OIL on the distant The weather map was as practically no ram was shown in the cotton belt and tempera- lures were high. The report that the first bale of cotton had turned up in tine Rio Grande valley, at the town or Kl- yiera. in Neuces county, caused heaVy selling soon after the opening. August broke points and October broke l0. HIS first bale is the earliest on record, the previous record being June 16, in ls0i Al the end of the first half hour Of trading, the market had an easy tone and the list was to points under yesterdays close
 The weather forecast promised dry weather over practically the entire cotton belt for Sunday, showers were preolctea in the Panhandle of Texas and unsettled weather for Oklahoma; but outside or this there appeared to be no rehef in sight from prevailing weather conditions. In spite of this, the market had more ar less of an easy undertone all the morning This was due entirely to the announcement of the first bale of new crop. Longs were the best sellers. They liouidated freely ard there was none too good A demand for their offerings. At the lowest of the morning, the list was I to 10 points under yesterdays close. The market closed steady at net de- cline of 2 to points.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, June 10-(SpeciaD-Ih were rumors of showers and cooler weather in some sections of the south west before the opening, which led to some realizing by the buyers of yester- day. Under the advance of high ba- rometer and predictions of unsettled weather in the southwest the market gradually eased to the close. Although the market declined today. the bullish temper of the trade continues to be the feature, one hears many statements that so large crop will be required that prices cannot decline materially. We see no change in the condition and the mar ket will be governed by the weather.

 The Financier will say: The principal feature of the state ment of the clearing house banks of | New York city for the week ending | June 10 were an increase of SIP ,9S1, ,O00 | in loans, a gain of $9,S10,000 in cash I and an expansion of SEQ 149,500 in de- posits. These changes are based on | the reports of actual conditions and arose, so far as loans are concerned, l from bond syndicate operations which were a feature of the previous week s statement the gain in cash reflected | the heavy movement from the interior and the full effect of the changes Eoted was shown in the rather heavy eXpan- | sion in deposits. Despite the fact, that the rise in deposits called for $5,000,000 extra re- serve the gain in cash not only over came this but brought about an expan-
 sion of $3,772.625 in surplus, making | that item $39, ,7S5,S30 The statement | of averages did not include the later operations of the week and while the Tendency in all the leading times was tine same as in the actual statement, the totals were only about half as large, the surplus having risen $1,590,S50 to S3S,S4O,200. The summary of state banks and trust companies outside the clear ing house showed only slight changes Tor the week, the expansion in loans seemingly having come to an end. Next weeks clearing house state | incnt probably will include in the totals | the l7 trust companies which have been
 added to the clearing house and all the items will therefore be very much larger than reported in the usual form
 of statement with which the public has been familiar for so many years One feature of the new form of statement will be that 1t will more thoroughly reveal the banking strength of New York.

WEATHER IS CAUSE
 0F COTTON DECLINE
The Reports Indicate Cooler Weather and Showers
 in Southwest

New York, June 10.-Prospects for cool CT. weather and possible showers in the southwest inspired more or less general realizing, as well as some local selling for a reaction in the cotton market this morning, and prices eased off quite sharp ly after an opening advance, with the close steady net 1 point higher on Au- gust, but generally 4 tot points lower.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 10 points on August, which had shown special weakness late yesterday, and from to points higher on later months on overnight buying orders and early advices of drought damage in the southwest The initial advance carried December cotton into new high ground for the season, but there was great deal of realizing over the week end and when it developed the outlook was for lower temperatures. possibly accompanied by showers in the Panhandle, the entire list turned easier.
 One of the leading bull brokers was q buyer on a scale down, and short selling was restricted to some extent by a feel ing that more important rains than mere showers will be required to greatly helf the drought situation in Texas, but the scattering longs interest evidently felt Il the part of prudence to realize existing profits for over the week end. and th' market closed at practically the low point of the day on new crop months.
 The old crop was nervous and unset tied, and while August sold only couple of points under the closing price Of Frl- day, July at one time showed net loss of 13 points, and neither July nor August appeared able to stand much selling, pos itively owing to the less favorable show ing of the weekend figures.
 It was a holiday in Liverpool again to- day. and while the market there will be opened Monday, the coronation holidays are scheduled for June p, 23 and "A of the following week. Detailed weather re- ports received after the close indicated very high temperatures in the western belt again today, but the western belt forecast for unsettled weather and show CTS in north Texas were followed by pri- yate reports of showers this morning al Amarillo. o,a,

STOCK TRADING
 ON NARROW BASIS
Tone Indicates Underlying Strength and Very Few
 Stocks Show Gain

New York, June 10.-Stock market prices moved within narrow limits to- day and trading was on a small basis The tone of the market indicated a fair de- gree of underlying strength and the inn portant movements of the day were in the direction of high prices. Chief among these was gain of about a point in United States Steel The movements seemed to anticipate the unexpected statements Of unified orders at the end Of May, which was made after the mar ket closed. The decrease of 105 ooo tons was more than one and one-half the usual estimates, although it reduced the total of thrilled orders to the lowest point since the end of January.
 Stocks Of the so-called Morgan group.. the Erie and Southern railway issue5. were among the strongest and most ac- tive of the list. The demand for Erie stocks showed no abatement, both the common and first preferred going to new high prices for the year.
 London sent over a generally higher range of prices for the opening here, al- though all gains were fractional. Ad- vices from that center indicated that some concern is felt at the recent suspension of an old-time banking institution.
 Measuring news relating to the French attitude toward American securities was received in the form of an authoritative statement that opposition to our stocks vas aimed merely at issues which were considered to be of doubtful origin or worth.
 The bank statement was fairly well in line with expectations. showing a cash gain of ss,s10,ooo and loan increase of s139S1 900.
