CRICKET MATCH DUE TODAY Pbiludelphinns Arriro ftt Oxford All Keady for the VISITORS GENERALLY EXPECTED TO WIN Ambition * I'riiKrnni Mnrkcil Out fur Them , but It DIICM Xot Incliuli : ulth nil All- i Ten in. OXKOItl ) , Juno fi. The 1'hllnilelphla crick eters arrived hero nbout noon today. No ono met them. They spent the afternoon quietly , cither strolling through this Univer sity grounds or lolling nt case ami enjoying the hot American weather. There docs not cem to bo much Interest In the inntch among the townspeople , who have been re- llcil upon to furnish n good gate. The pres ent prospects arc for a fast wlckot tomor row , although niddlo and one or two other members of the American team have not yet fully recovered from the effects of the voyage. The men are iiulto confident that they will give a good account of them selves. The Oxford tenm , while very much Im proved slncu the opening of thn. season , evi dently ntnnds In soinu nwo of tin.1 I'hlladol- pblnng , becntlito of their achievements over the Australians lost year. The Philadelphia team for tomorrow , ac cording t the arrangements tonight , will consist of the following : llalloy , lllddlo , Hohlcn. Clark ( P. ) , Coatcs , King , Lester , Patterson , Ealaton , Thuycr and Wood. The American visitors arc pretty gener ally expected to win. It Is nlso believed that later on they will defeat Cambridge , but It Is not thought that they will bo equally successful In the other matches. The progrnm Is ambitious , but It does not Include an nil-English match , but they will meet tlm best players In the respective courtly teams. This Is doubtless a wise step on their part , though disappointing to English cricketers , .who would have liked to sue what Philadelphia could accomplish against England's finest eleven. Apropos of the visit , Prince Han Jit Slthjl , one of the must popular cricketers In Eng land , said yesterday to n representative of the Associated press : There Is , oC course , a good deal of Inter act felt In thu visit of the Americans nnd this will undoubtedly Increase as their lour lengthens. Their quality as a team will have not been tested In the most ef fectual way , because they do not Intend to play at any representative matches , I Blmll meet them when playing for my own coun'ry nt Hrlghton , June 17 and 10. If 1 am engaged In nny county match nt the tlmo they piny Mnrylebone at Lords , I ( thall meet them again , playing there for the home team. At Bristol they will meet Dr. Grace. So far ns the Oxford and Cam bridge teams tire concerned , the Philadel phia players mny not find them very strong opponent ? , but unless the Americans are a thoroughly capable team they will haves Vf.ry llttlo chance against some of the county teams.

The old suurd was present nt University park yesterday afternoon to wltnera a game ot ball between the University team of ito pity and th Drak ot P Moln * * Jt w u the third of th "lefl , but THIS not specially good on thn ount. There -wore few good plays , n , .he only Interest attached 1C the contest was the ludicrous errors made. Thcoo were largely on the side of the Drakes , but there were rome chargeable to the loc.ils. At the clo < ? of the ninth Inning , when many thought the lotnls had the gnme by one score , some one. ? nld It was a He , nnd the players , actuated doubtless by a desire to give the old guard something for the money ppent In going out to the park , quietly proceeded to rub In another inning. When that had been finished the Universities were conceded the victors , nnd B.mcbody said the scorfl wns 1" to IS. The spectators grivo a sigh of relief and pulled then selves nway from the- boards upon which they had been painfully sitting for what seemed a week. ( JA.M1CS OK TII13 WK TI2H.MJ.VOt'U. ' .

The approach of summer does not lessen the enthusiasm of the members of the Omaha Whist club. Twice a week the rooms are comfortably tilled , and every effort made to F < iueezo out the button winning scores. Returning to" the discussion of last week on the proper lend from a hand in which the only long suit Is headed with n nine- , the writer finds In looking over the -wlilst column of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat an exactly e.mllar dlscufslon , based on u hand actually pluved at the Ofllce Men's club of St. Louis. The hand was ns follows : Spades , Jack , nine , seven ; hearts , ten. nine , seven , four ; clubs , Jack , live , three ; diamonds , ace , Jack , seven. Tlio king of clubs was turned up on the right. The player led the four of hearts nnd was severely crltl- cltcd by his parfjor , who claimed thut he should have led his best cpado. A decision n\ns renucpted us to the proper lead from the hand. The coincidence wns carried out In the reply , viz. : "The lead of thP four of hearts was conventionally correct , but many good players would have opened with the ten of that null , 'the top of nothing. ' n given by Work of the Hamilton club of Philadel phia. " The answer further reads ; "The suggestion that the Jack of spades should liavu been led IE entirely erroneous , us that might have been taUen by the Partner ns a call for trumps , ami the hand above did not warrant such a call , " There Is another condition 1nwhist that has provoked much dlscurclon , I. e. , loading trumps from live. Pole originally claimed ( lint with five trumps It Is always right to lead them. " Cavendish discusses the mat ter at length , and , while not making It an absolute rule , still thinks that no harm can come of It. Work Is verv Indefinite on the subject and Hamilton thinks that the bal ance of the hund must -warrant ruch u lead. -would tx'om that Cavendish has the best of the argument , for hu alone treats- the partner's hand and ayn If partner has n long fult n lead of trump Will help him If neither hand has fri'iijlji ( u lead of trump cannot do barm. Luft wock two hands were submitted ehowlng the dancer of leading trumps with u missing Hilt. In enc'.i ' case whera trumpc were led It resulted In n loss of from two to four tricks , On Saturday night ther * were two hands u > onrds 1 and 1I ! ) in which there was a great similarity In the hands held by north. In board 1 north holds live trumps ( hearts ) , six diamonds , ono umall club and ono small tpade. Kaet opened with the queen of clubs and followed ( t with the four , forcing north. Being left with only four trump * , headed by the queen nnd Prac tically two missing suits , a trump lead ap peared out of the question , but at two tables north had already played board 23 , and from tin : remit took the ehancea on n trump lend , and north and south took eleven tricks. Where trumps were not led north nnd fcouth took only nine tricks , The following U the hcnd In full ; BOARD 1. 8-5. D-A , Q. 8. 5 , 4 , 2. * H-Q. J , 7 , 6 , 3.

Jack of hearts turned , euu 1 1 lead. North's hand on board 23 was very blmllar to the above , excupt that he held five diamonds mends ( trumps ) , ttven clubs and one spade , At ono tablu we t opened with a low upade. hla partner took the trick and forced north ( with the nee. North's hand did not warrant a trump lend , but those who had previously played board 1 led trum ! * on board " 3. Those tv ho played board 23 first did not lead trumps. With the trump lend north nnd south made twelve tricks , without trump lend they only made eight. Here Is the hand : BOARD 23. 8-2 D-K , J , 9 , 3 , 2.

Therefore It can not be said that thcra hands throw any light on the question , "When shall trumps be led from live ? " I would , therefore , submit n suggestion , vlr. . : That with five trumps an original lead should be trump ? , and Inter the same , pro- vldcd developments do not prevent It. In laying out the strategy of a hand before n nnrd Is led , it wouM bo much easier If the locations of the trumps were known. If one's partner Is Phown to be strong In trumps one : can play n much brtlder gnme ; the sub ject of finesse , the lend of hbJli from king. queen i nnd tmo others , nnd a number of plays will depend on the position of the trump strength. Therefore lead from live nnd rhovv your partner. If the partner proves weak the trump need not be continued. There Is MI . old saying In whist , as true now as of old. viz. : "Two leads of trump never hurt the leader. " By delaying the lead until the hands nrc devcloned , not only may your partner's long milt be trumped , but n "double ruft" may be cstabllphed against you. On Wednesday night the club rooms were filled and all the noted whist players of the city. Including Morrison , GrlPwoM , Heln- dorff , Comstock nnd others , were present , nlso Mossr ? . McNutt nnd Hewlett from Knn- sas City. The hands ran uniformly In favor of east nnd west , as shown by the following scores : NORTH AND SOUTH. Marshall and Alice .

FORERUNNERS OF PROSPEROUS TIMES AVltliout Slice-In ! SlliiiultiN or Spcciiln- tlve Hltort There linn lloon n MnrUciI Hcvlviil of Iluy- liiK UiK-ratloiiN. NKW YoniC , Juno 6. Henry Clews , hcntl of the bunking house or Henry Clews & Co. . snys : The general symptoms developed In Wnll street during the past week hnve been the nest hoperul features witnessed for ninny nonths past. Without any special stlimuus or speculative ctTort. there tins been ft mnrkeil revival of buying operations ami , with few exceptions , nn advance In prices throughout the exchanges list. There has been nn extensive settlement of "r.liorl" ac counts , without any attempt at compulsion from the "bull" aide ! anil altlioilKh thut lias been one causa of the udvunco In quo tations , yet the rise 1ms been equally due to un Increase of outside buying and n gen eral gain of buoyancy of tone. It Is not dllllctilt to trnce the causes of this recovery. It comes from n favorable drift In n variety of conditions which He at the root 'of the value of securities. Among these Influences may bo mentioned a gen et ally satisfactory progress In the crop prospects. Although the wenthcr lias been coM and tiiiRenlnl for the last ten ilnyn , with the effect of arresting the blade growth of the cereal crops , yet the check lias been unattended with any Injury and has laid the foundation for n better lalcr development of the plant and probably nlso nn Increase of the yield. Also , It Is a notable symptom that sev eral persons of eminence and directly In touch with the farming Interests and the larger Industries have Hlmultaneously ex pressed their views on the Business outlook in unexpectedly hopeful , terms. Mr , Thom son , president of the Pennsylvania railroad ; Mr. Gould of the Missouri 1'aclllc , Mr. Chnuncey M. Depuw and Mr , C. I' . Huntington - ton , who are among the foremost represen tatives of the railroad Interests In differ ent sections of the country , have uniformly expressed sanguine expectations as to the general outcome of the harvest and the prospects of business at large. Similar cs- tlmatcH of the drift of the crops nnd of business have been made by Mr. Andrew Carnegie * . Hon. Hoswell I''Mower and Mr. Hill , president of the Great Northern. Such a body of opinion , coming from men pos sessing the best sources of knowledge as to conditions and movements , very nat urally has an Important effect In a mar ket where all the Interests of the country arc represented , and constitute n basis for confidence which cannot be disregarded. Simultaneously with these estimates we have a confirmation of them In the Improv ing tralllc returns of the railroads and a pretty uniform gain In their net earnings. The recent rejKirts of the Chicago , Bur lington & Qulncy and the Chicago , Hock Is land & Pacific , leading representatives of the "granger" group of roads , suggest a ready explanation of the1 kind of Inllucnccs that have brought nut the hopeful utter ances above referred to. Taken altogether , these , facts Indicate that a process of real Improvement Is In progress In quarters hav ing a close connection with Investment In terests. Simultaneously with those Indications the administration has given utterance to en couraging assurances. At the Instance of 1'resldent McKlnley , the secretary of the treasury hns given dellnlto promises that , so soon as the tariff legislation is com pleted , there will be no neglect of the sound money pledges made to the country by the republican party. Either with or without the representatives of the Indian apolis money convention , or with or with out the aid of n commission , the adminis tration virtually rcpledgcs Itself that by next December the attention of congress shall be occupied with , dellnite measures for removing the unsound elements of our paper money and placing our finances upon a permanent solid gold basis. The presi dent's utterances at Philadelphia were con spicuous for the evidence they afford of a purpose to distinguish his term of ofllcc as a thoroughly business administration , and of his resolve to keep the promises of conservative government contained In the platform of his party. So much has been said and written tending to cast doubt upon the president's steadfastness In these mat ters that some such assurance may j > cem to have been needed.In ; any event , their effect has been most wholesome , an Im mediate advance In the prices of stocks having followed , and the Increased appli cation for discounts at the banks showing that the mercantile community felt en courageil to extend their operations. Llttld open Interest Is taken In the Cuban question , mainly because there are no new Incidents forthcoming. The Calhoun In vestigation , however , hangs over the mar ket as a possible source of danger , and no doubt acts as a minor Influence In check ing the improving drift of affairs. The cau tion of the president against fostering any causes of disturbance to business encourages the hope thut no serious changes In our relations with Spain may happen at present. Some Interest Is felt In the question as to whether the change of cabinet at Madrid may Involve a change of attitude toward the United States. These arc regarded as sensitive factors , but they excite no alarm nor scarcely uneasiness , but merely a pru dent reserve. London has- shown more Interest In our securities. During the week It has bought about -lO.OCO shares of this market , appar ently as n counterpart oC sales of Kaffirs. The purchases seem to .have . been connected with the assurances relating to currency reform given out by the administration through Secretary Gage's speech at Cin cinnati. That. Indeed , Is the i > ont ! upon which the confidence of English Investors In American obligations at present prin cipally hinges. With them , It is not merely a question of getting n sound currency sys tem In place of an unsound one ; It has also the political significance of being a test of our ability -to control the settlement of a large and , complex financial problem In n wise and wholesome sense , nbout which they seem to have entertained some serious doubts. They now have the highest olllclal assurances that there Is to be no evasion of this Important question , and we may ex pect further benefit from Oils fact than has yet appeared.

The continental markets did not much In fluence the trading here , although the Paris market wan Bald to bo weak and declining becaiifo of Improved weather. The prin cipal factor at the opening was the pub lishing of nn Improvement of throe points In the condition of Kansas wheat since May 1. The market opened with sellers of July ut from GTltc to tiTo , and a sale or two at ftom CT'.io to GT'.ic ' s'.lppvd through about the same time. The tonrtency was down ward after that and In nlmut halt nn hour the price was reduced to GW c for a mo ment , with v.istly more buyers than sellers , however , at the price Inpt mentioned.

Chicago re ceipts mere , 37 cars and Minneapolis and Dtiiuth reported 310 cnr received , being equal to only 115 000 bu. The comparatively small quantity of contract wheat In store caused the short se-lers to act timidly , nnd they were rendered still more cautious when they heard It rumored that several linns had wheat sold to Armutir Co. which thny could not "ring up.

Trading In corn was rairly active and firm In the main , "People .who were supposed to have n deslro to cover corn already sold short made n drive at the market early In the session. That caused a decline In July from 2.1o 'and 2Jc nt the opening to 23-)4C , but as soon us the previous sellers commenced to show a disposition to buy nt the decline the price went up again quickly to 2lc nnd n shade better. Reports from the country were jor the most part of an unfavorable character regarding pros pects for the growing erop. Thu Knnras state report gave the condition of growing corn at M.7. The closing price for July was 2lc. at which there were inuny buyers and few fellers. This Improved tone of thn market In oats was the result of sympathy with corn.
