IRREGULAR|TY IN STOCKS YESTERDAY Tobacco Shares Add Ma terially to Gains of the
 Preceding Days

New York, June s.-Dullness and ir- regularity which later turned to heaviness in certain issues dominated on the stock exchange today. The usual market lead CTS were almost entirely neglected. The only movements were in tobacco shares, which added materially to their gains of the preceding days of the week. The days news had little bearing upon mar ket quotations. Crop advances today did not disclose any change in the generally fair conditions existing almost every where except in some of the central and middle western states. London's markets were weak pending the outcome of next week in connection with the dock strike.
 The banks and other financial institu- tions are getting ready for the mid-year requirements as shown in the weekly statement of the clearing house banks. Bonds were dull with price movements somewhat restricted. Total sales, par value, were s749,OO0.
 United States government As were ad- yanced A per cent on the week. The Fnincier will say: "The merger of the Kniokerboeker Trust company, an out side clearing institution, and the Columbia
 
 accounted in part for the very large in creases reported by the New York clearing house banks for the week ending June B. For Instance. the report based on the actual standing of the banks Saturday showed a gain in loans of $26,345,000, as compared with an expansion of $l1, ,209,OO0 reported in the same item of the state ment based on the daily averages which latter did not take into account the full effect of the accession from the source reported The gain in cash during the week was $s92S, 600, which in view of the facts just stated was not as large as had been anticipated. Net deposits rose s22,- 4lf,o0D as the result of changes made in other items. The banks increased their excess reserve S54,540 800, the present sur p'is above the 9 per cent minimum stand ing at go 55S, 300. This Is S3,0O0 in excess of the surplus reserve figured on the sys- tenn of averages. The weekly statement of tho trust companies, made independent ly of the clearing house report, showed, as might have been expected. very large changes the institutions not reporting to tho clearing house having undergone a decrease of $32,000, 600 in loans, decrease fin cash of about sS500,000 and a decrease ol net deposits of almost 100000.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York; June S.-(Speeial) European advices were featureless, not giving suf- ffcient encouragement to offset the con- tinued good weather in the cotton belt, the weather predictions over Sunday were for further favorable weather so the market slowly declined some 1 to points though at no time was there any indica- tion that the large purchases of the last 10 days were being lquidated. It Is sup posed that these purchases were based on the idea that while the weather Is good, now some time in the future. say next month, the conditions would al- ter for the worse and then prices will advance. Liverpool, however. holds a very large stock of unsod cotton. Texas is well advanced and with present weather continuing we should hear of some for ward shipments being offered from that state for early delivery

PEER THROUGH CLOUDS
FOR MISSING SURVEYOR
Searching on Mount Washing-
ton for John N. Keenan,, Who
Disappeared Wednesday.

BRETON WOODS, y. H., September
21.-A thick bank Of clouds On Mount
Washington today impeded the efforts
of searchers for John NJ. Keenan,, the
surveyor. who has been lost on the
mountain since Wednesday. A rain.
which fell throughout the night, made
progress through the woods difficult
The weather has been severe since
the young man became lost, and as he
had no knowledge of woodcraft and
was without provisions and heavy
clothing, it is thought he may have
perished from exposure.
Mountaineers express the opinion
that Keenan's only hope lies in the
lifting of the fog. which makes search
above the cloud level too dangerous
to be attempted.
For two nights the bell on the sum-
init has been kept ringing, and the
steam whistle at the base has been
blown at frequent intervals, in the
hope of attracting his attention.
Disappeared Wednesday.
keenan, was helping to lay out the
line for the proposed electric railway
up the mountain. With a party Of sur
veyors he was working near the Lake
of the Clouds about II am. Wednesday,
when bank of clouds settled on them
keenan, was some distance from the
others. They called to him to wait un-
til they joined him, but when they
reached the spot he had disappeared
1t is thought he became confused and
started off in the wrong direction. He
was not familiar with the mountains
The wind was blowing a gale of more
than fifty miles an hour and the tenn
perature was only 40 degrees.
Mrs. Lawrence j. keenan, of No., 81
Bartlett street, Boston, mother of the
missing man, said that she either
dreamed or felt that she heard
some one calling her Thursday right
She even arose from bed and went to
the window to see if any one were out
side.
