"It Is false , every word of It , " was the
cvay Representative Nowbcrry of Chicago
characterised the statement sent broadcast
throughout the northwest from the columns
ol a democratic panor In this city to too
effect that Senator Pottlgrow had threatened
If General Nowberry , as a member of the
house comtnlttea on publlo buildings and
grounds , dia not tnako a favorable report
upon the bill providing appropriations for a
public building at Deadwood , S. L ) . , there
would bo no appropriation made for the
"World's fair. Senator Pottlgroxv is chairman
of the senate committee on World's fair and
consequently wields au almost controlling In-
llucnco upon all appropriations for that en
terprise.
"Senator Pcttlgrow came to mo some
weeks uzo , " continued General Newucrry ,
"and asked mo to report the Duadwoo/1 bill
from the committee on publlo building * and
grounds. 1 told htm thai 1 opposed tbo bill
because 1 did not believe that Ucudwood had
proper claims for It. The senator \\ent into
details of tbo cltv's resources and the nects-
" slties for n public building and appeared
f vcrv anxious to secure favorable action , but
Iho'statotncnt that ho threatened to cut off
the World's fair appropriations or that he
tried to intimidate mo or improperly influence -
once mo is a malicious falsehood. Ho snld
no rnoro than was proper or his duty as a
bonator from South Dakota , and no raoro
than I would have done bad I boon in his
position. "

New YORK , May 0. R. G. Dun & Co 's
weekly review of trade says : Business
has been much retarded throughout moU of
the western states by unusual and continued
rains. The movement of products Is thus de
layed , but It Is believed temporarily ; seeding
in many quarters Is Interrupted , though on
tbo wbolo fairly advanced for tbo season and
distribution of goods Is chocked. A some
what better tone appears at the south and
business at the east Is fairly active for the
season , although In some lines dull and de
pressed. Money Is everywhere nbuudanU In
part because iho demand Is smaller than
usual , but this is in a measure duo to the un
usual conservatism of trade , buyers making
many small purchases instead of larger pur
chases and waiting more carefully for actual
dlstrlbuiion. This Is peculiarly the casein
the dry goods and boot and shoo trade. The
orders at any ono time have bcon In moil
branches moderate , but they have been re
peated aealn and ugaln until the volume of
business is largo.
Shipments of boots and shoos from the

Market Dull and Narrow Some uf Its
Special I'uilliiicH.
NEW YOUK , May 0. Bradstreet's weekly
Wall street review : The past week has
brought little cbango in the position or ten
dencies of speculation. The actual market
has been dull and narrow , being too limited
in action even for successful bear operations
While the llrst days of the week noted u de
cline in oxcbango and a consequent tem
porary cessation of gold exports , tbo belief
that tbo outward movement would continue
was general , and , as Is natural , constitutes a
bar to iho development of bullish senti
ment. The announcement that gold bad
been engaged lor shipment by today's
stoumor was therefore no surprUn , the street
being satisfied that the demand for gold at
continental centers would not bo satisfied
until considerable further amounts wcro
drawn from this country. On the other
h&nd , the ease of tbo money market con
tinues to have considerable in'tluunco upon
the temper of speculation. It certainly limits
iho ability of bear traders to depress prices ,
inasmuch as thu prevalent low Interest rat s
at whlcti stocks can bo carried make holders
very stubborn about parting with tboru ,
Uiuurreiisriil HcnrUli .MniuniontM ,
Bearish manipulation has continued during
the week , hut It was not on Iho wbolo suc
cessful. The inception of n suit by the gov
ernment against tbo American bugar com
pany of course produced a docllnu In that
stock , accompanied by considerable liquida
tion of long holdings. Attacks upon near
portions of tun list were , however , less ef
fectual In point of results. Reading and
other prominent trading stocks were sub
jected to the bearish pressure , but the effect
of this in each case suemed to bo to increuso
tbo outstanding short interest to an extent
which forced the boars themselves to cover
their sales , thus giving momentary action to
the market and a fictitious strength to the
prices.
Friday's rnaruet , though dull , was In fact
stronger in tone than that of any preceding
day , reflecting the disappointment ol the
bears that tbo gold shipments were not
lamer. Several causes combined to render
such tendencies more conspicuous. The
most Important among thorn was the appar
ent cnango in the attitude of the London
market in respect to "Americans. "
Monday was a holiday In London , but this
brought considerable buying orders from
that quarter , and though tbo foreign ele
ment mainly sold during the latter part of
iho week tno prices were very much de
creased.
Foreign bears sold hnavlly last ween , Tbo
fact that the disturbances on May day did
not materialize accordingly forced London
bears to rover , while U > e oxtn'tno of Iho

For the same pcrioJ the receipt * at South
