WALL STREET GOSSIP.

-
"OwIng to the continued good outlook
for the crops and the assurance that there
will be no material disturbance In the
general money rates and also the oficlal
announcement OF the Treasury DEPART
ment that II win again aid the West and
South in moving the crops as II did last
year by increasing government deposits
throughout those sections. purchases OF
any OF the better class Of stocks on any
further reactions should show fairly good
profits"
This is merely the opinion Of recog-
nized expert In Wall Street prognosti-
cations
1t Is generally thought on the floor that
the market Is shaping itself for more
activity and higher prices next week. Not
much Is looked for Immediately. The
next date set for the rate decisions by
news agencies is Wednesday, July g.
Stocks have held well and indicates con-
siderable inherent strength.
Probably the most bullish point that
the market has given for months has
been its action since the Clafiin failure.
This failure is generally considered the
most important commercial one that has
ever occurred in the United States. The
market responded by a decline of two
or three points following the failure, and
promptly recovered most of this loss A
market that can disregard such unfavor-
able factors would seem TO be intrinsic
ally sound. The wonderful crop pros
poets are undoubtedly causing not only
an improvement in sentiment, but an
Improvement in general business, and /
cannot help feeling confident that. when
the rate case Is out of the way. the
market will do decidedly better.
Good buying continued In Southern
Pacific yesterday on reports that Il

formerly Southern Pacific refuses to de-
cline and takes every thing that comes
in around IS l-2.

Bank of France weekly statement
shows increases Of 81. 90, 900 francs in gold
and $4,000 francs in silver.
Bank Of England rate unchanged.
The market was quiet at the opening,
with prices fractionally above last nights
close and there was some irregularity
in the early dealings. Before long. how
ever. a strong tone developed, and all the
active issues made moderate gains. Union
and Southern Pacific were rather con-
spicuous ir this advance. There was.
however, nc evidence Of follow-up TO this
buying and enough stock was furnished
on the advance to check the rise. Prices
sagged on and for a time the market
was extremely dull. Trading remained
as professional as ever, and there Is no
sign Of the large interests doing anything
in the market.

narrow the market really was: Inc
close was firm, with prices creeping up
almost unnoticed.
Foreign markets were strong, out no
business resulted. While total trades
were $1,000 shares, the market stood
stock still at times. For an hour there
was no transaction in Amalgamated Cop

heavy sales of the metal had been booked
abroad and the stock rose "a in few
minutes. Utah was the strongest OF the
copper stocks touching IS H.
Short selling was noticed in Steel COM
mon. but the price showed a buoyant
undertone and the close was higher. Al
though the immediate outlook for the
steel business is admittedly poor, it is
argued that we have never had a bad
year for the steel business with bounti-
full crops.
Southern Pacific Good.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit was firm around
90. and good buying was observed in
Southern Pacific. On any squirt Of ac-
tivity. in the general market these shares
would rise toward par.
Reading stood still and Union Pacific
moved listlessly. A buying order OF 1000
shares carried Sears-Roebuck more
than 9 points. North America rose IA
on the purchase of a single hundred.
Rock Island was quietly offered for for

Strong opposition to the reorganization

established a new low record. New

Special Correspondent Of The Washington HeraH.
New York. July 2.-Now, Just listen
to Col. Henry Watterson. the Louisville
editor. He is speaking Of woman suf-
frage at a New York dinner. Says he:
There are three classes of sufiragists.
The first is the ambitious woman who
sees in suffrage and politics a chance for
leadership TO exploit her own interests.
The second is the woman who is soured
on life and takes her unhappiness out
on poor man. The third type is the
brainless sheep who has discovered that
suffrage is fashionable. She follows
simply where some richer or prettier
woman leads. OF course. one cannot ex-
pect much good to be done the govern
ment by such voters" A woman suf-
fragist present inquired of Col. Waiter
son what he thought OF the thousands
upon thousands of men "1oaters'' but
"Marse Henry is said only to have
smiled.
One thing that impresses the writing
fraternity about polo is the unusual good
names OF the players-that is for writ
ing purposes. There for instance are the
Waterbury brothers-Larry and Monty.
Almost any writer could put across a
novel with such names as these. And
then again We have Rene La Montague
.-(Girls isn't that a thrilling name)-
and also we have Devereux Milburn and
Malcolm Stevenson All of these are
tanned and toughened by exercise and
are men of splendid physical appear

doing at Coney. There Is. for instance.
