Spectators Succeed in Pull ing List Away From Its
 Dead Level

New York, May s.-Professional traders today disregarded the old axiom of Wall street that it is never safe to sell dull market The last few days were so unusually dull that spsculators were eager for action, and as conditions favored the short specu- iators were eager for action and as conditions favored the short side. they sold stocks. They succeeded in pulling away the list from its deal level and at the en dof the day there were nu- merous declines of l to points, While there was no change of first impor- tance in the speculative situation sen timent was affected unfavorably by various considerations. Failure of the market to respond to yesterdays ex- ceptionally good crop report indicated that there was little Likelihood of an advance from the prevailing level and speculators reasoned that if the mar ket would not go up it right go down.
 London prices for American stocks were lower, and there was some sell ing in Canadian Pacific for foreign ac- count. although European operations here Were not on large scale. Con- tinued weakness of few stocks par ficularly Missouri Pacific and Chesa- peake and Ohio, disturbed the whole market. Chesapeake and Ohio broke to the lowest price since 1908. Another depressing feature was the Mexican news, conveying intimations of more serious situation. The combined result Of these influences was an increase in activity, with periods of the lveliest selling since the severe decline of fortnight ago.
 The copper producers monthly fig nres, although reporting an increase in supplies of 5.727,0o0 pounds, made as good showing as had been expected Copper metal prices sagged both here and abroad An increase in the num- Der of idle freight cars was disclosed In the fortnightly statement, which htted in with reports of the continued backwardness of business conditions.
 Another cash gain Is expected as a result of the weeks currency move ments, which indicate an increase in holdings of the New York banks of about $5,000,000. Time money rates again yielded. Demand sterling reached another high point, and further engage ments of gold were predicted. Bond prices were lower Total sales, par value, sf,905,oo0. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

LEADING STAPLES SHOW NET DECLINE Prospects of Earliest Har- vest Ever Known Causes
 Wheat to Ease Off

Chicago. May s.-Predictions of the ear States made the wheat market ease off today after an unexpected show of strength Closing prices were steady at a shade to i4aasc net decline. All the ether leading staples. too, had something of a, setback-corn. lac to lsa4c; oats. lsal t4e, and provisions 5@15c.
 It was from Oklahoma the news came that upset the views of bullish specu- lators in wheat Dispatches were re- oe!ved saying the Oklahoma fields were all headed, and that signs pointed to cut ting being general this season ahead of any previous record, the effect on prices here was immediately evident and was continuous for the rest os the day. al- though the market was far from being de- moralized Bullish transatlantic advices more than offset during the first half or the session any bearish influence from the Dig official drop estimate sent out by Washington. Europeans appeared to re- gard the estimate as having been fully discounted and were giving attention in stead to the Argentine shortage and to the prospect of the yield being poor in France and Austro-Hungary. The cables were counteracted somewhat by improved re- ports about the progress of seeding in northern Minnesota and North Dakota It was not, however, until Oklahoma was heard from that the market turned de- cisively down grade.
 Increased country offers in the south- west led to selling pressure on corn. Wet weather delay to planting, though, had at first made the market Incline to the bull side.
 Good conditions for the growing crop tended to curtail the value of oats. Besides shipping demand was not so large as on the preceding day
 Provisions fell owing to talk of hog ar- rivals becoming more plentiful soon. There was but little call for cash product. Shorts were the only buyers.

Fallible Judgment of Rich Men

from the New York Evening Post Wealthy men are credited witn so keen perception that average mortals be- lieve them infallihe in the matter of in- Vestments. No human is infallIble; the appraisals of probertN of those wealthy
 men whose deaths occurred in recent
 years nave shown every one to have
 made injudicious investments. E Fl. Har- riman's account was littereds with .'cats and dogs. So even was that of Russell Sage Schedules of the property owned by the late Darius ogden Mills published recently show thousands of shares of worthless stuff. Of one concern alone the Holy Terror Mining company there were 2,000 shares. The estate had 1000 shares of Rock Island common, which were bought at much higher price than that of 37s now quoted on the stock exchange.

COTTON MARKETS
 NARROW FRIDAY Close at Net Declines of 4 to 6 6Points-Mild Buying
 Movement

New Orleans, May S.-The cotton mar ket was very narrow today and closed at net declines of to points.
 At the outset indications pointed to lower prices in the new crop months in sympathy with the decline in values at Liverpool and a lessenng in the local demand for spots, and under the in- fluence of improved weather conditions in the western section of the cotton belt. But there was a mild buying move ment in evidence during the early fore noon that served to stiffen the market a bit. and prices moved up slightly
 The, reaction was not important, how ever, and during the remainder of the day prices fluctuated over a range of only point or two, but with a mild downward tendency

which to base the course of the market. We need large crop of cotton next season to supply even the ordinary re- quirements of the world
 While the present trade conditions are poor, 1t is well known that stocks or cotton goods are small. On the oth- CT hand. spinners think the chances are that as we had two small crops, as crops go nowadays. that we will probably have large crop the com ing season
