NEW TORK, May SO.-There tw con siderable uncertainty In the stock market la.M work wllh a tendency to return to a fined level In the price average. The nam tendency la perceptible In a longer relrotpect, the average price of the moat representative Mock having changed but little from that of the early part of May. The speculative attlude la one of waiting: and thla disposition wan Intensified by the three-day holldoy Interval In prospect at the end of the week. The narrowness of the public Interest In the market was evl-Jenced In numerous ways. Once or twice during the week there wan liquidation going on of what looked like large Individual accounts In a few stocks. The rapid yielding of the prices of the securities thus affected Indi cated tlio Indifference of the demand which hud to be contended with. On the other hHiid. In the Intervals of these liquidating rplHorea, a very light demand was ef fective In lifting prices rapidly, thua In dicating the small floating supply of stocks In the market. Efforts to analyse the causes lying behind these manifestations gavelarge importance to the extent of the operations by market pools snd elaboratlv speculative organisations, which have fig ured In the advance In prices for many months past. Airskealsg Poblle Iotereat. The objective point of these organised operations has been the awakened public demand for securities and the progress of .the restoration of trade and Industry to the activity obtained before the panic of 1907. or even beyond that. Men of recog nised Judgment and authority In the finan cial world have voiced the conviction without reserve that the coming era of trade and Industrial activity and accom panying prosperity was to rise to new high levels. It has been common for such opin ions to point ont the completion of the struggle ever the revision of the tariff as fixing the porKxl at the springing Into ani mation of all sorts of enterprises held back for that event The estimate accepted for anma time oaat In Wall atreet for the probable enactment of the new tariff law were for tha first of June or thereabouts. The approach of that date with the de bate on the tariff measure dragging out to an undefined future, leaves the specula tlon In a suspended state. Meantime there Is a continuous flota tlon of new securities going on, stimu lated by the abundance of banking forces left unemployed by the moderate require ments, as yet, of the mercantile demands, Railroad and Industrial corporations both rime In this new financing. Some of It gives rise to conjecture of plans to launch into new fields of combination and con aolldaiion of industrial enterprises. The public offering of stocks of the United Drvaooda companies was made the text for discussion of such a likelihood. tmrar Bond Iaaae. 1 The Armour A Co. bond Issue aroused the surmise of leather Interests of a pos slble aggressive Incursion Into that field. The candy manufacturers were observant of reports that the principal glucose In to rest would embark on that Industry In a comprehensive way. The conspicuous I strength of the steel group owed as much "to rumors of merging of the Independent companies with the object of harmonising relat.ons with the United States Steel cor so rat Ion as to the returns of trade r,etterment. These returns were striking, nevertheless. Increased demand for re- ' fined copper and reduced pressure of of faring by the leading Interests furnished additional testimony of the thriving con dition of the metal Industries. Speculative sentiment has not been free from anxiety over the crops and the de sire to await the government report of condition as of June 1 of the grain crops constitutes a leading repreasive Influence on the market.

C. C. George, now an active factor In the upbuilding of the City Savings bank, s destined to become an officer whose time will be required largely In the In terests of the bank. This will not, however, detract from the Importance of George A Co. In real estate circles. A new location, not as yet se lected, will be secured by the company, giving more room. At present, Oeorge A Co. have a lease on the rooms, but C. W. Hull has secured a lease for future use, while the Corn Exchange State bank has a ten-year lease on the present rooms In the Barker blurk used by Mr. Hull.

A hard fight will be put up to save John Masauredla' neck from the noose, it win be waged before the supreme court, though, of course, a motion for a new trial will first, be argued before Judge Sutton. There Is little or no likelihood that the district court will sustain such a motion but for the record's sake It will have to be made. The chief point which will be argued to the supreme court Is that the written statement of Lilly Breese, made to the county attorney, was inadmissible and also that the question put to her about her evidence before the coroner's Jury was Improper. The supreme court can do one of three things: Sustain the verdict as It stands refuse a new trial, and commute the sen tence to life Imprisonment: grant a new trial. Masauredis took the result of the con vlctlon with more calmness than would have been Imagined. He still protested that he was Innocent, because the officer, he -:a Id, fired first, and added, "I can die once only, anyhow." Lilly Breese Is with her mother, who has remained In the city over the trial. The older woman l living in Grand Island and will return there. Friends have In terested themselves In the girl and are seeking a position for her.

Bouse Speaks to Typographical Union of Omaha. FOUNDATION RESTS ON CHRIST In Memorial Day Address to I'nlon Carpenter'a h Is Credited with Urging; Organisation and . Brotherly Help. Telling his hearers that he would not talk of the dead, but that he would talk to the living. Rev. Frederick T. Rouse, D. D., In the annual memorial address delivered Bon day afternoon to Typographical union No. 190, pointed the advantages of unionism and declared that Jesus Christ, the Car penter's Son, was the first exponent of or ganization for labor. Dr. Rouse took hit text from Islah, xll, S-7: "They helped avkry one his "neighbor, and' every one said to his brother.; be of good courage. So the! carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and hi that stnootheth with the hammer him thef smootheth the anvil, saying, It is ready for the soderlng: and he fastened It" with nails that it should not be moved."- "Th general tmneVkea by tha minister lit Ms discourse was -that humanity Is a great brotherhood, a great family, and that every member has a right to exist. He then went ort to point out the wrongs In . life, the hoarding of capital by "promoters," the bacillus of graft fontered by great cor porations, the spirit of war between na tions and the shattering of that bond of human sympathy which should exist be tween all men. "I believe the time will come when we will see that for the necessities of man kind, for public Improvement and for the Improvement of mankind, that every man shall have work," said Dr. Rouse. "Wealth should not be hoarded here and public work neglected and men allowed to starve for the want of work. Graft Germ Most Die. "Great corporations say there is no way to live but by graft, but graft Is a great moral ehemy. What we need la a hyper dermlc Injection of moral stamina to with stand this microbe and to tell the corpora tions that Ijonesty is the best policy. One of the greatest voctories of modern medi cine was the erradlcatlon of the Vellow fever microbe and the driving of this dis ease out of the tropics. Ho small are these yellow fever germs that forty of them can hang Inside a mosquito's stomach and not crowd a bit, but Infinitely smaller Is the bacillus of graft. "It Is the duty of organized labor to fight this bacillus. It In the 'duty of organlxod labor to Insist that there shall be no war bet wren nations and between men. And that which we most need Is that element of human sympathy which will be broad enough to take in others not members of our own union or organisation. "We must have organization, for organ ization means life; disorganization means death. One man standing for his rights Is as nothing, but In union there is strength. Humanity unorganised Is printers' pi, and nothing more. Even the church Is organ izing, and before long I believe we will see unions of all organizations. And what Is to be. the aim of all these organizations? It Is to be the betterment of humanity.

SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., May 30. (Special.) "The guide rode often at the head of the column, and we found him full of Infor mation about the country. We began also to listen for a new domestic disclosure every time we approached an Indian vil lage. He was the most married or any man I ever saw, for In every tribe he had wife."

Custer in her book, "Boots and 8ad dlea," to Felicien Fallis, who died a few days ago, and who was one of the first settlers of the vast region now embracing the' states of North and South Dakota.
