NO DECIDED CHANGE IN STOCK MARKET Movements of Last Week Were Narrow and
 Hesitating

New York, June 1S.-Infiuences brought to bear upon the stock market last week were not sufficiently pronounced to bring about decided changes in the character of trading or speculative sentiment Movements of stocks were narrow and hesitating, indicating no decisive trend, although there were evidences of under lying strength in the resistance of the market to severe attacks from the bear party and in the creeping advance of railroad stocks in the face of these at Jacks.
 The average prices of railroad issues touched the highest point of the year. although the entire weeks movement was so small as to possess little significance. Interest Jagged and the amount of trad ing fell off sharply. The market ap- parently was marking time while await ing information which might form the to prospects for crops and as to the out look for a trade revival was chiefly re- sponsible for the hesitation.
 Interest centered largely on the condi- tion of the crops
 The governments weekly weather re- port gave official confirmation to advices from various points in the south and southwest that crop prospects were be- ing impaired by drouth and caused no little uneasiness on the stock exchange, as well as in the grain and cotton mar kets. Rains toward the close of the week in several sections gave some relief from these misgivings.
 Definite signs of improvement In inc steel and iron trade were perhaps the most encouraging developments of the week. Reports of increased business fol- lowing the recent reduction of prices were general. A further advance in the price of copper metal, coupled with a large gain in the volume of exports and shrinkage in the European visible sup- ply pointed to an improvement in this branch of the metal trades.
 The report of foreign trade for May gave striking evidence of the manner in which the country's credits abroad are being maintained. Not only were last months exports the largest ever reached in the month of May, but the balance of trade in favor of this country was increased to more than s500,o ,O00 for the eleven months of the fiscal year

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 DRY GOODS MARKET

New York, June lS-Although the cot ton market has eased somewhat in ths last week, prices on cotton goods have been generally steadier. Advances of 1-2 cent a yard are announced on Wamsutta cambrics and long cloths and the fine goods trade shows a disposition to hold for higher prices for future deliveries. There was some falling off in prices on print cloth yarn goods but toward the end of the week it was all regained and vslles are now steady with stocks generally light.
 Of the 100. .00o pieces of print cloths sold at Fall River. 10000 were for spot de- livery. A large part of the new firmness in values is due to the increased curtail- ment because of the shortage of cotton. Export business continuse. fair.
 Jobbers are still buying from hand to mouth. Converters and printers on the other hand have supplied a fair share of their forward requirements for the next sixty days, while fine goods mills have been booking some sizable orders for con tract spring delivery. Retail and job bing trades are doing a sub-normal busi ness even for this quiet period of the year.
 The yarn market shows no improve ment save that spnners are holding firm CT for prices nearer the cost of produc- tion. Prices rule about as follows:
 Print clothes 2S inch. 64x64s, 39sc; 2S inch 64X60s. 31ac; 3S12 inch, 64X64s, 1-l6c; stan dard southern sheetings, Sc and 1-4c; denimens, 9 ounces, He; tickings, s ounces, 13l2c; standard prints, 5lac; standard sta ple ginghams, 7e; dress ginghams, 9sic.

Tidal Wave of Carnage

It would be the conflict of the nations, the general confagration of peoples; something never before seen. Extraor- dinary, paradoxical, fantastic!
 Imaginel All Europe in flames, devas- tated by the fire of artillery darkened by the smoke of machine guns, trainpled un- der the heels of thousand armies, deaf ened by cannon laundering from St. Pe- tersburg to Berlin, from Glasgow to Mes 'sina A battle front swaying over thou sand miles from the Naldai plateau to the Dolomites and the Balkans, from the Hartz mountains to the Pyrenees, from Stettin to Venice. Two nnumerable fleets each squadron of which is formed by the navy of whole nation. Army corps zig zaggng like human spine right across the continent. so numerous that the le- gions of Napoleon seem in comparison little handful of infantrymen: so vast that the Macedonian phalanxes and the hordes of the Moorish caliph would seem like a squadron of cavalry prancing in petty evolutions on drill field. A tidal wave of bayonets and cannon, of gun carriages and baggage trains, of horses and riders. A twilight illuminated by the fires of a measureless bivouac. An atmosphere of thunder and lightning. And. in the dis tance like ghosts the dense crowds of the fugitives.
 Which the vctors? Which the van- quished? Yelled mystery Agonizing ig- norance. Unsutmountable difficulty. War is not system of logic. It is the explo- sion of nnumerable heroic energies and unbreakable wills. The impact of which has oscillations, deformatons, compost tions, directions. currents. that cannot be calculated. In these formidable crises there is all the force of the seaquake, the mobility of the elements of the storm. Winged victory is blind as fate. Prevl- sion is no more possible than calculation. Climate, rain, a day of sunshine, an un- known mountain pass, an erroneous oh- serYation are enough to decide the fate of a battle and to divert the course of history to new horizons. Napoleon lost an empire, a dream, invincibility, his crown, through a delay of few hours. A trifing mistake in a calculation may tomorrow shuffle the map of Europe. s
 What is war? What will be tomorrow's war? As soon the word is spoken we see the fearful, bloody, fantastic reality. A long file of encampments: flags flying in the wind; two human hedges, moving with all the weight of their flesh and a the mad impetus of heroic folly: the savage impact; the fratricidal slaughter death
 But this is not eonugh. This is the hu- man side the emotional background. the sentimental evocation, which most keenly grips the great heart of the multitude But let us banish sentiment and make first and last reason for human co-exist- ence to the front.

 Let us begin with the ships Each battleship or armored cruiser needs 250O tons of coal. In world war more than 2000 vessels. great and small, would plough the sea- As for the muni- lions, according to calculations made for the American navy unit of the first order should embark about 500 pToieetiles.
 Now. what would a great war cost tomorrow? The Franco -Prussian war of 1870, in the 165 days the campaign lasted, cost the French taxpayer Just about $2 900 900, ,000 M. Freycinet, sub tracing from this fantaStic sum the $l ,000. GOO ,000 indemnity paid to Prus- sa, calculated that each soldier cost ou an average of s1.60 a day. The cal criations made by Minister Mayne in creased this average and the deputy and nnancier. Jules Roche, made brief study of it and found that the average cost of each soldier was about $210 a day But the French were fighting Nitfin their own frontiers without the difficulty of transporting provisions to 6 distance.
 The war with Russia cost the Japan ese about $1,000 900 a day. or a total of about s535, ,0O0. 900 and an average of $2 at day for each soldier.
 But England, which had to tr<hsport its troops into another land, far from home, during the war in the Transvall, was obliged to expend si for every soldier every day.
 If we made general average from these three percentages it would core spond 10 the average of probable topo- graphical conditions, and we have an ex- pense of g. 60 a day for each soldier. Now, since the event of great European catastrophe the six great powers would keep from 15C09.00O to 20000 soldiers uh- der arms, we have the mad, terrifying, as founding, insurperable sum of from S39,- O0O, GOO to $52, GOO to represent the aver age expense of only one day of war.
 For the field artillery it is not possl- ble to make any but approximate cal culations, but when it Is considered thai a modern army with only POGO guns may fire 2.40ooOo rounds in an hour, it is easy to see to what monstrous proportions the collective expenses would reach i'll single day of warfare.
 As for the horses-for the little ex- pedition into Morocco, with only one di- vision of cavalry, under the very best conditions of provisioning, France spent recently between s400 and $500 day on the horses.
 Let us take up the troops. What docs 1t cost to keep them in the held The expense varies from 16 cents day to 60 cents a day for each soldier The
