NEW YORK, Juno 10. (Special.) floury
Clows, head of tho bunking li uno of Henry
Clows & Co., writes of tho situation in Wall
street:
The stork market Just now Is under tlio
Inlluence of u variety of cotillUtlng cir
cumstances, noniu stimulating and somo de
pressing. A now factor lias 4een lnje tod
into the situation which cannot be Ignored
nnd that Is the outbreak In Clilna with nil
Us disturbing possibilities. Chinese hatted
of "foreign devils," the lack of n strong
central government In China, tho tlcslro of
IliiHila to take exclusive advantage of that
weakness, tho nmhltlon of Japan for re
venue upon Hiissla and tho Jealously of tho
other great powers regarding tho futviro of
China render the situation highly complex
nnd damsel our. No ono can forecast tho
nsult or such t:iposlng foreoH, China
seems like u huge Jellyllsh, Incnpahlo of re
sistance or coherence. Her only safety lies
In appealing to those powers wlili h seek not
territory but commercial development and
stable- Independent government for China.
Hut who can make such an appeal If tho
empress dowager Is controlled by the strong
ir-ltUHSlan sympathies with which she Is
Ktnemlly credited? American Interests In
the future of China nre far greater than Is
popularly supposed, for thero Is no section
of the wot Id which offers markets for
.American goods and Holds for American en
terprise so promising us China. Our far
sighted iron and cdtton manufacturers are
fully alive to the potentialities of tho China
inaiket and the administration at Washing
ton should lie cucourngoil In taking u strong
position In regard to American interests In
that part of the world. We do not want an
Inch of Chinese territory, hut wo do de
mand tho same oppoitunltles for trading
and enterprise that any other nation pos
sesses. We cannot Idly submit to any cx
clusloulst awllclcs and fortunately our
n wly acptlted stronghold In tho Philip
pines gives us an Important vantage point
In future negotiations.
Should any serious disturbances nrlso on
this account the European money markets
may be adversely directed und this would
temporarily depress our local market. It la
unlikely, however, that such events 'would
cause any permanent depression. Should
war occur It Is not probable that this coun
try would take any very serious part and It
Is worth remembering that within tho last
few years three Important wars have como
und gone with much less effect upon the so.
curlty markets than expected, our market
Is now freed from the uncertainty of tho
Transvaal war und this Is n favorable
fuetur.
Tho homo situation, though not without
Its drawbacks, Is far from unsatisfactory.
Trade Is settling down to more normal pro
portions nnd the process of readjustment
causes complaint In some quartets. Hut
business conditions as n whole nre sound
nnd when prices reach a reasonable level
anil production Is carried on with some re
gard to demand wo may expect a resump
tion of satisfactory conditions not a repe
tition of last year's "boom." which would
'bo a calamity In disguise and not a blessing.
It Is (ulto likely that speculative condi
tions will be more or less deferred until
nfter elections, the effect of which, how
ever, upon legitimate trade Is much less
than generally supposed. An important
factor also Is tho crop situation. Continued
drouth In portions of the Northwest seems
to have caused considerable damago to
wheat, but it Is altogether too soon to for
mulate any opinions on the crops as a
whole; there is room for compensation in
one district for damago in another, or for
n larger yield In ono crop to offset tho
shortage In another. So no very serious at
tention need bo paid to sensntlonnl damage
reports yet. Itallroad earnings continue
very satisfactory, making handsome gains
over the high returns or n year ago. The
Industrials have been neglected and specu
lation In these has fortunately been so re
stricted that they do not form tho menace
that was oneo reared. The public has been
niorslstcntly wnrned ugalnst dealing In these
by commission houses and bankers who
conscientiously ;irotectel their customers'
Interests nnd the latter havo benollted as
well as the community nt large.
At tho moment wo hardly look for a buoy
ant bull market, foreign and presidential
uncertainties checking public buying for
tho rise. Stocks, however, nro held with
conspicuous firmness and nttempts to do
uruss tho market meet with little success,
except to enlnrgo tho short Interest. Tho

BLOODY BOXERS OF CH NA
(lory lllilory of Hie t'lilnene Society
imv AltrnelliiK At.
tendon,
Tho Chlnerc Society of Doxers, whoso
c4)ertlons have ovoked a sharp protest from
the I'nlted Slates government, Is said to
have n membership of 11,000,000, This citi
niRto Is made by the New York HornM on
tho authority of a Chlnntnsn. In Its y. it It
ful days It wns a respectable organization,
but what good there was In It died yjting.
Now It Ih accumulating n record for tobbjry
nnd murder that li liable to bring It an
International trouncing.
When first organized the hovers to-k tho
nntne of "The Society of tho Grcnt Sword"
nnd Its purpose was to suppress bands of
brigands that operated In tho Shan-Tung
province. After disposing of the bandits
with nx nnd sword, tho organization de
veloped an nppctlto for loot and was soon
obliged to change, Its name to Iloxora to
oscapo Imperial wrath. Hut the change of
name did not change Its methods. Kobbcry
was supplemented with murder. Tho vic
tims of both crimes were missionaries nnd
nntlvo converts.
About ten years ngo tho missionaries had
enjoyed peace for some time nnd regarded
tho future ns full of hope, but on Mny 10,
1891, two nuns, who were going homo from
a visit to somo sick people, were maltreated
by n mob, who charged them with bewitch-
"ir children. Tho mission housps were
plundered nnd this wns the signal far tho
renewal of the disturbances all through
China. Theso became worse nnd w rse,
exciting more nnd more resentment In
Kuropo, until, nt last, joiiio German prlots
were murdered nnd the mission looted In
Shan-Tung. This was followed by tho
seizure by tho Germans of tho port of Tilu
Tail.
Tho Shan-Tung Chinese connected these
two events and swore vengennco on tho
Germans and Incidentally upon all foreign
ers and Christians. It una at this time that
tho Ixing Sword Society began to mnke Itself
obnoxious.
I luxe i'm Holder Than liter.
They had previously been proscribed by
tho government for local reasons nnd tem
porarily suppressed, but now they became
bolder than ever and Inaugurated a reign of
tctror throughout Shan-Tung. Native Chr s
tlans were robbed, benten nnd murdered and
their houses destroyed. Muny of them weto
forced to reennt, and some of tho chapels
were looted, but no missionaries were killed.
So bold was the nctlon cf tho tozlety nnd so
llngrant Its outrages that Yu listen, tho
governor of Shan-Tung, was ordered to pro
ceed against them. This man had only held
olllco slnco last spring. Ho wns Inexperi
enced and wns promoted through the favori
tism of tho emperor.
In October last under compultbn ho sent
a force against the lloxers, who had taken
tho Meld with the avowed Intention of wip
ing out tho Christians, On October 18 the
wo armies came together. Ono hundred
rebels were killed nnd many wounded nnd
tho rcBt, Including tho leader, lied.
Tho victors returned Jubilant to tho gov
ernor who, however, far from being pleased
nt their report, was thrown Into a fury. Ho
degraded threo of thorn nnd sent a report
to Pokln that tho so-called rebels were
merely n congregation of honcat country
people whom tho soldiery had nttacked and
massacred without right or warrant.
"Thus nt a single stioko." writes Henry
I). Porter of P'nng Chuang, In tho Outlook,
"tho governor paralyzed tho action of every
official, making It Impossible for them to
act as they clearly saw was best. Tho
leaders who had slunk away nfter tho fight
quickly discovered that the governor wns
on their side und within two weeks every
man of them wns In his place again."
Mr. Porter, vho Is a well known mission
ary, goes on to say that In tho districts of
Kno-T'ang and P'Ing-Yuan, thero began a
campaign of pillage, arson and murder which
is nwfal to recall. Tho whole country west
of Chlnnnfu In this provlnco and as far
north as Shen-Chou In tho provlnco of Chlhll,
flamed up Into anarchy at onco and the
track of ruin was widespread. In ninny
counties of Shan-Tung .every Roman Catho-
) uu uuiuv nus Mnrjik uiuuil uim liuiiurcus III
Protestant Christians suffered. In response
to appeals from tho missionaries the mis
creant Yu was suddenly removed, and tho
famoti3 Yunn Shlh K'nl, a friend of LI Hung
Chnng, was sent to bo tho governor.
Rut before tho authorities In Chlhll could
bo mndo to reallzo tho real Import of tho
struggle 100 Protestant families had boon
looted on tho borders of tho Yellow river,
west of tho provincial capltnl. An equal
number of Christians of tho London mis I n
In Chlhll had suffered nnd fifty or more
Congregational families had boon nttneked,
despoiled or mulcted of money u.,"-- threats
of loot nnd pillngo. Tho mission ..'juscs of
theso were nt Chang-Ssu-Ma, In Chlhll, nnd
Ho-Chla-T'un, In Shnn-Tung. In tho former
tho native pastor was driven from his homo,
while tho chapel and school woro gutted
nnd despoiled. Four families wero driven
from homo nnd tho neighbors dug up tho
concealed treasures of books and medi
cines and scattered them to tho winds.
At the Congregational mission, In llo-Chla-T'un
a band of 200 rushed Into tho
village, gutted tho station resldcnco and
looted tho chapel and tho homes of tho
helper and his brothers, besides robbing
tho adjoining homo of a wealthy neighbor.
Tho terror was continuous for months.
Cruel Trusted y.
As a climax to theso outrages camo the
murdor of a young Church of England mis
sionary named Ilrooks, a smooth-faced,
cheerful boy of 21. In going to Join a
brother missionary in Shan-Tung ho passed
through a vlllago where a band of thirty
five Uoxers were at dinner. Ho might
hnvo passed through In safety had not n
llttlo girl raised the cry, "Yang Kwcltzo!"
or foreign devil.
Instantly tho rebels were upon their feet
nnd had surrounded Ilrooks. They pushed
htm about, called him vile names, and at
last while somo held him others thrust a
hook through his noso, to which a ropa wns
tied. They pulled hlra nbout hero nnd thero
to tho Immenso amusement of tho mob. At
Inst tho unfortunate boy managed to ex
tract the hook and break away from his
tormentors. Ho startod to run from tho
village, but threo of the rebels got horses
and rodo nfter him. They soon succeeded
in overtaking him nnd then killed him
with their swords.
It was this tragedy which nroused the
Ilrltlsh government to action, although the
war lu South Africa hns doubtless operated
to prevent tho moro energetic protest that
would havo othorwlso been mado. Tho now
governor has not yet succeeded In suppress
ing tho lloxers. A few heads havo been cut
off nnd hung up In cages by tho highways
to Berve ns a wnrnlng to ovlldoera and a
number of perpetrators ot minor offenses
against tho Christians have been hauled
beforo the court of righteous Judgment nnd
sentenced to such punishments ns "wenrlng
tho canguo," but tho reign of lawlessness
still continues, If In less violent form, and
hns been tho occasion of tho Joint note In
which tho American minister Is said to have
taken part nnd In which tho powers
threaten to send troops to protect the
missions unless tho lloxers nro suppressed.

CATTLU As usual nt tho close of tho
week there wero no cnttle hero of any
Importance nnd nothing to make a test of
tho market. About nil that can be snld
of the market Is to tiuoto It as nominally
steady.
The cattle market this week has been
favorable for the sellers in that thero has
been a very considerable falling oil In re
ceipts at all market points and a conse
quent firming -ip In values. Tho market
was not particularly higher on any ono
day, but It gradually gained In strength
and at tho cloto or the week good kinds
of cuttle are fully 10c, and In somo cases
15e, higher than tho low tlmo lust week.
In other words, at tho close of tho week
tho market Is Just ns high us It hns been
nny tlmo during the last three or four
weeks. Some sellers nro cnutlonlnc ship
pers against holding buck common kinds of
eornfed cattle too long, as tho season when
grass cattle may bo expected Is near at
hand and common cattle always suffer lu
competition with grassers. .-
Cows und heifers have been good prop
erty all tho week, anil the mnrket most
favorable for tho sellers. Good kinds ot
dry lot cnttlo have been In especial demnnd
nnd havo commanded strong prices. Hulls
hnvo also sold well.
Thero has been very llttlo doing In tho
way of stockcrs and feeders. Hoth supply
and demand have been light, and lu con
sequence the trade In that kind ot cattle,
litis attracted very llttlo attention,
HOGS Under the Influence of good, lib
eral receipts for a Saturday today's hog
market was a shade lower thun yesterday's
general market. Thero was a good, nctlve
demand on the part of local packers, but
at the same tlmo they were willing to pay
only $3.00 for the bulk of tho receipts and
It took choice hogs to bring more than that
prlco. It was practically a $5.00 market,
with the cholco heavy hogs selling nt from
$3.0JV4 to $5.05. Tho ract that It was Satur
day made sellers careful about holding on,
so everything changed hands at an early
hour, the market closing a little stronger.
As has been the cuso for somo time past,
light welghtB were not In very good demnnd
and packers were Indifferent buyers of that
class of hogs.
Tho receipts of hogs the past week
showed considerable falling off as com
pared with the previous week, but at tho
same time thero was fully as good a de
mand ns there has been at any tlmo nnd
as a result tho tendency of prices was up
ward. Tho week started out with tho mar
ket holding steady with tho previous Satur
day and on Tuesday a gain of So was made.
On Wednesdny, Thursday and Friday tho
market continued to advance, lie moro
being ndded to tho average prlco. On Sat
urday the market dropped back a trllle, but
thu week closed ISc higher than the closo
of tho previous week, or at the highest
point renched slnco May 23, when tho aver
age price wns $3.01.
SHICKP There was only ono car hero to
day and, as was tho case yesterday, not
enough to mnke a real test of the market.
The sheep market has been very poorly
supplied this week, as was expected would
be the case, as the fed sheep havo all been
run out of thts territory and western grass
sheep nro not ready for market. The few
cars that havo arrived have consisted very
largely of tall-end or very common stutV.
hastern markets are quoted a good deal
lower on sheep nnd Bprlng lambs and wero
there nny great number coming to this
market prices would undoubtedly bo lower
hero, but with such light receipts thero has
been llttlo change In the market this week.
'I he feeling Is that If thero wero any "good
Colorado lambs hero they would Bell higher.
