the psychological moment arrives for an
upward movement in prices. In the
late afternoon the general market rail-
lied little, but the closing was heavy,
with the chief losses among the promi-
nent issues in Union Pacific, United
States Steel and Reading. Selling Of the
copper shares represented in large part
the taking Of profits Commission houses
had few orders for public account as far
as speculative operations were concerned,
but a somewhat better investment de-
mand was reported for high grade bonds
and good dividend paying stocks.
According TO the known movement OF
money in the week the local banks have
lost q little more than S1,000O00 in their
cash holdings, a small gain on receipts
of currency from the interior and new
gold having been more than offset by
payments by the banks 10 the Sub
Treasury and gold exports. The move
ment of money from out-of-town points
is now smaller than at any preceding
time this year. and it is quite probable
that in tho course of the neXt few weeks
the flow of money will be against this
centre, an indication of which is found
in the present position of the domestic
exchange market. Gold exports from
New York appear to be over for the
time being. but if foreign bankers should
lind a need abroad for our metal they
would experience no difficulty in secur-
ing 1t here, unless a radical change
should take place in monetary conditions
in this city Higher rates for money
doubtless will develop in the course of
the spring, but at the moment there IS
no sign Of materially better quotations
in the immediate future. Money is in
good supply in most parts of the coun-
try. while in the foreign markets the
tendency appears to be in the. direction
ot lower price for funds.

 NEAR NEW ORLEANS
BIG CREVASSE APPEARED IN HYMILIA, NEAR CRESCENT
 CITY,
River is Stationary and No Rise is Reported Ab0ut-Rush Aid to
 Home Place.

New Orleans, La., May 14-A big crevasse was reported tonight in the Hymilia Levee, near New Orleans.
 A hurried call was also sent in by Engineer John Klorer, Of Home Place, stating that the embankment near Nestor Canal, about fifty miles below the ~eityy~had given away. Cap tain Sherrill immediately rushed all available men and material on barge with tug to the break.
 The engineers office here has ai- so received report of bad place at Conrad S Point, near Baton Rouge, and another at Bonnet Carro, thirty five miles North of New Orleans.
 The fight to hold the remaining levees must continue for some time longer, as there is always danger of sloughing of levees during receding flood.
 For nearly six days the guage at New Orleans has not varied more than tWo-tenths of foot and for the greater part of this time it has been practically stationary. Tuesday there was not a single station between New Orleans and Cairo which did not show a fall and an actual rise has not been recorded north.
