WHEAT Helped by the continued re ports of damage to the crop by fly In the southwest, which reports were borne out by largely increased volume of business. almost wholly on the buying side from this direction, wheat has scored another ad vance of froro Vic to 4c The main help was undoubtedly the big Increase In the outside interest, but the cables and sta tistical news also of a bullish nature.

The most Import- ant help seems to be sympathy with wheat and the disposition on the part of shorts to cover their lines. There is even some talk emanating from southern Illinois and eastern Missouri of need of rain, but this has not gained much credence, as these same localities complained of excessive moisture within a fortnight.

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS. Harrlman'a Illness of None Effect, Soatbern Pacific Slumps. NEW TORK, May 15. There was some further liquidation of stocks today, which seemed due much to the mere lapse of time without sny stock market awakening as to any positive development in the situation. Selling by tired holders Is Wall street's ex pressive, phrase for this class of liquida tion. It was not in large volume today, but It was effective In depressing prices on ac count of the almost total absence of any buying demand. There was some demand at the lower level for bear account to cover contracts. So considerable a price move ment as that of today has come to be so rare an occurrence that the professional element is anxious to avail Itself of it to take quick profits. The activity was rela tively much greater on the decline than on the recovery and the recovery was not well held, prices sagging again toward the last, making a lifeless and heavy closing. To day's declines carried a number of promi nent stocks to the low level for the year. Including St. Paul, New York Central, Pennsylvania, Southern Pacific and the United States Steel stocks. The previous low level was at the time of the break in connection with the Northern Securities de cision, and today's low prices were only fractionally below those at tbat time, ex cept the United States Steel storks, In which low prices were touched Wednesday. The Steel stocks were notably Arm today, although the dealings In them were small and the price variation very narrow. Re ports of further reduction in the price of iron did not affect them, although the con dition of the iron market was a continued Incentive In the market. Rerjorta that the Lehigh Valley had determined to curtail its Intended improvements, owing to the high cost of material and labor, were accepted as a symptom which promises badly tor the further demand for finished Iron products, however much benefit may accrue to net earnings or railroads. The rear or a gen eral diminution of consumption of all prod ucts on account of the high level of prices plays a strong part In the hesitation now ruling in the speculative market. Of to day's more Immediate future the forecast of a weak bank statement was the fore most. The loss of the banks to the sub treasury amounting to $1.3uti,0O0. and to day's engagements ot $l,2b0,uuo gold to be shipped to Argentina tomorrow, make an aggregate which is scarcely offset by the estimated receipts of the banks on balance from the' interior. It is feared that the process of loan expansion by the banks has been proceeding on a liberal scale during the week in the course of the paying off of foreign indebtedness. It will be seen that the net result upon the surplus reserve promises to decrease that Item. Reports of damage to the wheat crop by the Hessian fly played a part in the selling of the gran gers. The news of the Illness of E. H. Har- riman aid not cause any special effect on stocks In which he Is largely Interested. The bond market continued Irregular today, but the general tone was heavy. Total sales, par value, $1,706,000. United States 2s. couuon. declined U per cent on the last call.

Secretary Hester's statement of the world's visible supply of cotton gives the total visible as 2.872.403 bales, of which 1,733, 403 was American cotton. NEW YORK, May 15 COTTON-Opened easv with mires 2 nnlnts hls-her to 8 Dolnts lower and, notwithstanding the strength of Liverpool cables, showed sun further weas ness immediately following the call, under heavy realising. The first rush of these orders over, however, the market was ral lied a few points by south.- n buying, but various spot houses and European Interests hammered the market and prices soon de clined to a level net fc39 points below the close of yesterday. At this time May was selling at ll.OOc. compared with 11.40a earlier in the morning, and July, touching 10.73c, showed a decline from the best of the ses sion of 24 points, and 27 points from the best price of yesterday. August meantime showed less weakness, selling down only 16 points from the best or the morning. Following this the Hat was rallied under clique support and It seemed that the room also was inclined to take the long side for a scalp. But Liverpool and New Orleans showed a reactionary tendency and the market responded slowly. Still prices were persistently forced upward until a level net .i-4 points lower had been reached. SDeculatlon during this movement was .not so active as during the last two days, out the market continued to reflect the utmost nervousness and Irregularity. Some trade was expecting that the clique would make a Anal wind up of the shorts just before the close for the purpose of affecting Liv erpool tomorrow. Some buying- may have been affected on this theory, which proved Incorrect, however, ' for the clique brokers sold very heavily in the last few minutes and prices eased off. The market was finally steady, however, at a net decline of 6iJ 28 sjolnts. Total sales were estimated at 6o0,l00 bales. The .partial recovery during the midday session" was encouraged by light nort recelpiA arid a small movement Into sight than expected, though the fig ures were still over last year's, while on the other hand crop reports were generally favorable, advices from spinning centers were no more favorable and there were re newed rumors that , actual cotton was be ing attracted this way from' all directions.

Wool Market. BOSTON. May 15. WOOL The Commer cial Bulletin will say tomorrow: The boom ing wool prices in London have failed to stir the lethargy of the Boston wool trade, end recelpta are larger than shipments. The prolonged labor troubles all over the country during the last year have evidently reduced the purchasing power of the people to a certain, extent, and .machinery is for the first time in years being shut down In the mills manufacturing the better class of worsted fabrics, not from existing strikes In those particular mills, but from lack of orders. Coarse and medium woolens are moving pretty well, but the beat goods are dull. The threat of strikes, too, is encour aging the most conservative attitude on the part of clothing manufacturers, who nat urally do not wish to be causing stocks of clothes on hand by any strike In their In dustry. All of this v Is restricted In all branches of the -vool trade, except In the primary markets of the west. Boaton deal ers appreciate that the wool will be wanted at some time, and they are purchasing throughout the territories with some free dom, though with no such eagerness as characterized the purchasing In Montana last year. The cost laid down In Boston of round lots of hew territory wools is 474148c. Shipments of wool from Boston to date from December 81. 1902. are 89.969.961 lbs., sgainst 92,336,167 lbs. at the same date last year. ST. LOUIS, Mav 15 WOOL Firm.

About tne usual prouortion ot tne offer lngs consisted of beef steers, and wnlie tne market was a little more active than it was yesterday there was not much change lit prices. Owing to the ru pld fluctuations of the last few uays prices are ratner uneven so that while some salesmen thought they had a little better luck today, others were calllna- the market no- more than steady. The general situation could probably best be described tiy calling me inaraet, lajriy active and iullv. steady. There was also a little more snap to the cow trade. Prices, though, showed very little Improvement from yesterday, and tho same as was tne case witn Deei u?cra, tne market could best be described by calling it fully steady. There were comparatively few Blockers and feeders In the yards this morning, so that an oarly clearance was made. nulls venl calves and stags did not show enough change from yesterday to be worthy of mention. ... There were very few stockers and feeders on sale today, and as the end of the week is at hand not many were vmnra. few cattle that did arrive sold at Just .k,i .i.irtv nrlces. The demand from the country has been sufficient this week to clean up practically an mo ui-ra ""V,"; that have arrived, so that speculators will start out the new week with empty pens.

Borne make a requisition For a girl In perfect health. Borne men prefer a woman Wise enough to write a book. But the shrewd man, when he marries, Picks a girl out who can cook. For riches sometimes vanish. And beauty quickly fadea, And frequently men tire Of these very learned maids. Bo huabands often wriggle On the matrimonial hook. But a man la always happy If his wife knows how to cook. Somervllle Journal. IF YOU TRADE p laves your orders with CEO. A.
