NEW YORK , May 31.-There wns a re
crudescence of b nr sentiment on the Stock
exchange today In more formidable array
than nt nny time hitherto since the spring
reactionary period has been In force. This
sentiment mc < n decisive , check nfler Mr.
V.nvffr'a death , which for the most power
ful tlnnnclal Interests In the country com
bined to support prices nnd nvcrt M panic.
U had but newly Innuguralod n campaign
ln. t week when the decision to close the ex-
chnngc for three days left the leaders In a
rnther timid frnm * of mind about carrying
short contracts over for so long n period.
Today's slump In prlc-es seemed to l > p dis
tinctly .i development of the day's opera
tions. There was a small attendance nt the
opening of the stock market nnd n S'-emlng
expectation of a dull day. based partly on
the fact of the running of the- Derby In
England and the consequently neglected
trading on the London exchange. Some of
the HLock * which suff ared most severely In
the later break showed signs of flrmnesf
nnd even of strength In the opening trans
action ! * . This wns nntnb.y true of Sugar ,
Brooklyn Transit , Manhattan and New
York Central. But signs of strength proved
to bo of short duration nnd by noon the
bears were In complete possession of tha
Held.
Early declines were obviously due to
manipulation. But the benrs gained t-onrago
and assurance nnd extended their raid ; they
got richer nnd richer returns and be-fore the
flay wns over the general process of liquida
tion ot long accounts had set In. Aside , from
the spasmodic recovery of Sugar In the
llrst hour there was no materhlupport ac
corded prices nt nny point In the llbt. There
were several development ! * In the general
situation that nldcxl reaction , but the ik-
cllno seemed more n general acquiescence
In the view of the bear parly that prices
worn as a whole unduly high nnd tint a
lower level of vnlue-s must be. nccepted.
The belief thnt gold exports nro un
avoidable nnd probably Imminent played nn
Important part In the reactionary temper of
the street. AVIth slerllng exchange , at $ I.SS
for denrnnd , which Is within a fraction of a
cent within this gold export point , nnd still
rl-'lng , while discounts In London continue
to harden nnd call money loaning In New
York today nt li per rent. It is not easy tepee
pee how nn export movement of gold Is to
bo avoided , though It Is Just ns difllcuU to
understand why such a movement under
the circumstances should excite alarm. The
report of a case of yellow fever at New
Orleans and > the resulting quarantines
against Louisiana gave more substantial
reasons for reaction In values and the rail
roads In that section were severe sufferers.
SurmlEcs as to the effect of the New York
franchise tax bill and fear of encroachment
on the Sugar company's divisible surplus to
carry on the trade war were made much of ,
A sharp decline In enstbound tonnage
from Chicago , a disappointing statement of
earnings for the current month by Northern
Pacific und of net earnings for April by the
same road , the small Increase In the Bur
lington surplus after charges for April nnd
a denial that St. Paul's net decrease for
April was due to nny Increase In operating
expenses , nil served to accentuate the feelIng -
Ing of discouragement over existing values.
Some of the striking declines nt the ex
treme low point were : Metropolitan , 13 ;
Sugar. S 4 ; Brooklyn Transit , GU ; Mauhat-
tnn , 5U , and a long list of specialties from 2
to over 4 points. In the railways Burling
ton , the Minneapolis & St. Louis stocks ,
Southern Pacific vuid Southern preferred fell
from 3 to 3'4 points , while n still larger
number of railroads. Including members of
the grangers , the PacIHc and the Trunk
Line group , fell between 2 and 3 polnta. In
the outside market the newly floated Amal
gamated Copper stock sold at 93 , against
the subscription price at par.
Bonds yielded In sympathy with stocks ,
but were relatively Ilrmer. Total sales , par
value , ? 4,4GoOCO. United States 3s , the new
4s nnd the old 4s , registered , advanced U In
the bid price , while the old 4s , coupon , de
clined U. Tiio 3. . coupon , sold at 1C9U.
which Is record price.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says : The markets
hero were slack but firm today , except for
A\est Australians. Americans opened with
ojx Inclination to realizing on sales , then
steaded , but Now York sent earlv sales ,
especially of Southern railway , 'nccoml

CA'l'l'uE Large receipts and weak mar
kets at all selling points was the bear fea
ture today which had a rather depressing
oflect upon values. As Is very apt to bo
the case ot such a time the market was
rather uneven. Sc'.lers as a rule were call-
inc the market on fat cattle 5 < fflOc lower ,
at the same time there were some who
thought that they got steady prices for
such cattle s buyers seemed to take to.
Every one reported heavy cattle lower , even
If good , while In some cases cheaper cattle
sold at yesterday's prices. As might be ex
pected under the circumstances the trade
WTIH slow , sellcM being unwilling to make
nny concession and lighting over every Inch
of the ground. Jt was ruther laito before
anything like a. clearance was effected ,
though buyers wanted the cattle , and the
demand was just as large as it has been for
some little tlmu back. Considering the size
of the receipts and the condition of the
trade at other points It would have to bo
admitted th.it the market hero was In pretty
good shape.
Cows nnd heifers were In good demand ,
and as the receipts were far from large the
market was steady and reasonably active.
Bulls were also steady. Veal calves were
In good demand und the best ones sold qulto
rc-.ullly at $7.
Stockcrs and fcrcders were without change
so far as values were concerned. There
was qulto a string of Canadian stockers
In the yards , some of them contracted In
advance at 3.20. Representative sales :

nary
by E. & H. Heron ,
authors of "Taminer's Duel , "
Etc. , Etc.
Which will begin publication

A STORY that gallops
* " * from the first line to
the last , that tells a chivalric -
alric and intensely dramat
ic love story , that follows
the intricate plottings of
master diplomats.
"The plot is fresh ,
the intrigue ingeni
ous , the portraiture
vivid and the treat
ment unhackneyed. .
. . Altogether this is a
fierce and vivid ro
mance. " London Spec
tator.
Curiously enough the collaborators
,
orators bear the unusual ro
tation of mother and eon. G.
& H. Heron Is the nom deplume
plume for K. k Hesketb Prlch-
ard. They have already pub
lished several powerful abort
stories and serials , hut "A.
Modern Mercenary" Is their
beet and latest novel , a story
which Is attracting widespread
interest in England.
The players of ihis Game
with a King , the prize of
which is the winning of a
kingdom , are Count tiagan ,
agriifl , unscrupulous , reck
less giant , the commander
of the guards of Maasau.
He plays as a tool in the
hands of Solpdorf , Chan
cellor to the King , the "man
of the hour. " And behind
these two , old Major Coun
seller , representing Eng
land , the shrewdest diplo
mat of Europe , and Baron
von Elmer of Germany ,
play the intricate keys of
diplomacy. The King of
Maasau , who is weak , worn
out and suspicious , is a
mere puppet in the hands
of those master players.
The pawns of the game are
John Kallywood , the Mod
ern Mercenary , a straight
back , fearless young Eng
lishman who fights a duel
as cheerfully as he makes
love to a nobleman's daugh
ter ; Valeria , the heroine ,
and the Countess Sagan ,
who loves the hero and ap
pears as Valeria's bitter
rival. All thin takes place
in the independent state of
Maasau , which is so small
that it is hardly noticeable
even on the largest sized
map of Europe.
