FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET CONTINUES DULL Numerous Declines of from One to
 Three Points.

New York, May Professional traders disregarded today the old axiom of Wall Street that it is never safe to sell a dull market. The last few days were so unusually dull that speculators were eager for action, and as conditions favored the short side they sold stocks. They succeeded in pulling away the list from it's dead level and at the end of the day there were numerous declines of one to three points.
 While there was no change of first importance in the speculative situa- ton, sentiment was affected unfavor- ably by various considerations Faif- ure of the market to respond to yes terday's exceptionally good crop re- port indicated that there was little likelihood of an advance from the pre- valling level and speculators Reasoned that if the market would not go up it might go down. London prices for American stocks were lower and there was some selling of Canadian Pacific for foreign account. although Euro pean operations here were not on large scale. Continued weakness of a few stocks, particularly Missouri Pa cif1e and Chesapeake and Ohio. dis turbed the whole market. Chesapeake and Ohio broke under 49,- to the low est price since 1905 Another depressing feature was the Mexican news, con- veying intimations of a more serious situation. The combined result of these influences were an increase in activity, with periods of the livehest selling since the severe decline of a fortnight ago.
 The copper producers monthly fig ures, although reporting an increase in supplies of 5,727,00o pounds made as good a showing as had been ex- pected. Copper metal prices sagged both here and abroad. An increased number of idle freight cars was dis closed in the fortnightly statement. which fitted in with reports of the continued backwardness of business conditions. Another cash gain is ex- pected as result of the weeks cur rency movements, which indicate an increase in holdings of the New York banks of about S, 1000, 900. Time money rates again yielded. Demand sterling reached another high point and fur ther engagements of gold were pre- dicted
 Bond prices were lower. Total sales, par value $1, BOX, 600.

NO TRACE FOUND
 OF MISSING LIFEBOAT
Ocean Liners Fail to Find Missing Men
 of Burned Columbian.

New York, May S.-No trace of the missing third lifeboat of the steam ship Columbian, burned at sea last Sunday. was found by the White Star line steamer Adriatic which arrived here tonight. The Adriatic was 223 miles distant from the scene when mo- tified at noon on May 6 by Captain D. s. Miller of the Franconia. which had picked up one of the boats, that another boat might. still |. be in the vicinit yof the wreck. Captain John Matthias of the Adriatic changed his course and arrived on the scene at midnight. A double lookout was post ed and a search for the boat was maintained throughout the night. There was a strong wind, rain and a heavy sea and it was impossible to say that the boat was not in the vicin- ity. Captain Matthias said. but it could not be located. and soon after dawn the Adriatic resumed its journey, ar irving in this port many hours late.

Washington, May S-The Philadel- phias and Washingtons battled for ten innings today to to tie, in game featured by heavy hitting and cratic fielding.
