Hooiey Co. of this city and William Barrett of Boston today's slock market showed general im provement and the s. I nation as a whole was viewed with more checrfulnesa The Hooiey failure iru regardd as an Inevitable sequel to that of W. L. Stow & Co.. wbuh came lait Friday. The failure cf Mr. Barrett was wholly unimportant. The market displayed a hesitating tone at the outset, many of the railroad stocks showing fractional declines. Blight Im provement soon followed, prices went oft 1 to 2 points, with even greater declines in the specialties, as soon as the (allure came out. Evansvfiie at Terra Haute, a Hooiey specialty, declined H points and the entire list reflected considerable confusion. By the end of the first hour the situation seemed well In hand and the prices ad vanced, save in a few Instances where pres sure continued to be directed upon certain stocks. Kerne Blamee the Traits. In connection with the failures In Wall street, James R. Kene, whose son-in-law's house, T. J. Taylor & Co., was among these to suspend, is quoted by the Herald as fol lows In an interview at his country home In Cedarhurst: "Do you think the general prosperity Is likely to be affected by the serious decline In stocks r was asked. "I don't sea why it should be," Mr. Keene replied. "Business is good, crops are exoelle.nt and gross earnings of rail roads are larger than they were last year. I have no doubt that their net earnings will be correspondingly large. In spite of all this people have no confidence. They are appalled at the tremendous decline that lias taken plaoe, the explanation for which lias not been reasoned out by them." Financiers Mast Stag) Decline. Mr. Keen continued: The extremity af the danger should bring relief from a concert of the financial and , raliroaa iritmanu t stia? further decline, which must gain .in force if It contlnuea. Perhaps the beat reason for the present situation has been the absolute unwilling ness of the public for some time to buy securities. If you have sellers and few buyers ft Is easy to predict the result. I believe over-capitalisation and the dis astrous collapse of three or four recently organised trusts have paralysed the buyer, produced a general fright and terrible liquidation r good securities to protect holders. Despite this liquidation, which has reduoed the average values of securi ties Hi per cent, bank loans have not been reduced, nor has the surplus reserve been materially increased. It would be natural to look for a oorre s ponding decrease in bank loans in conse quence. This has not occurred, and 1 have not seen anyone yet who has fathomed the reason lor it. It may ue SBieiy aaia that this singular result, so contrary to all previous experiences, has caused much anxtety and produced grave apprehensions. Explanation of it may be possible from people who understand the Intricacies of the movement of money and shifting loans. Buyers will eurely be attracted, however, as in Wall street convulsions of the past. Third Fatlaro Is asasaaees. Another Stock exchange failure . was recorded soon after the opening of today's market, when formal announcement was made on the exchange of the suspension of Edwin 8. Hooiey & Co.

The royal procession was then formed and traversed the streets to the city hall, where the king unveiled a statue erected In honor of Uueen Victoria A serious accident occurred while their majesties were subsequently driving to the Victoria hospital, which they opened today. A peasant woman succeeded in passing the cordon of troops and rushed towards the royal carriage. She was knocked down and falling beneath the wheels was badly in jured. She was taken to the hospital. The channel fleet saluted as their majes ties embarked on the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, on their return to Londonderry.

Guard Cotter was cut In the abdomen so that his entrails protruded and he died this afternoon, while Palmer was severely cut about the head. The floor of the office was covered with blood.

They passed a gat ling gun on one of the walls but the guards were afraid to use it. When the armory post was reached officers there attempted to interfere but were qulrkly overpowered.

Before 1870 conclaves were held In the Qulrtnal palace, one long wing of which was always ready without any special preparation But ln the case of the VaUcan apartments of three or four rooms for each cardinal have to be specially prepared, and as there are sixty-four cardinals the amount of work Involved Is very great. The aoo tlon destined for the conclave comprises, oa the ground floor of the Vatican, the three suites which surround the famous Court of Sandamaso, the rooms under the late pope"e apartment, and the tower, with the rooms about the sala ducal 1. On the second floor the rooms about the Loggia Raphael and the pontifical offlnea, comprising all the apartments formerly occupied by Cardinal RampoUa, who has left the Vatican altogether, will lie used. The whale will furnish commodious lodg ing for about 500 people.

A smaller room, witrj a ramp led. Is for the use cf the servant. The fourth room will be of little use, as It is without a window. The apartment Is lighted by elec tricity.
