Helling of the July1 dellvtry was again a feature of trading In the wheat market, the situation In the pit oellig similar to that of the previous sesnl .i. with the ex ception that the deferred future shared today in the weakness of the nearby months. Trade was rather dull and the market waa quite nervous at tl-nes, al though the tendency of prle. was toward a lower level. Moderate firmness was mani fested at the tart, owing to covering by short, who were actuated by talk of rust In - the wheat field of southern Illinois. The market, however, oon turned weak, wwing to the pressure of the July option, which declined more than lc from the high point of the day.

NEW .ORK STOCKS AND BONDS Powerful Inflaencet Dominate Specu lation Throughout Settion. GROUP AFTER GROUP EXPLOITED Market I Strong, hat Constaat Diges tion of Front Keepa the -Trice Movement lr regatar. NEW YORK, June 4. Powerful forces obviously were at work In the speculation In stocks todav, the volume of the trsns actlona and the slse of the individual operations showing the uses of the most abundant resources such as are comr minded only by speculative capital of the first magnitude. The example yester day of what could be done In the tnse of Southern Pacific brought the speculative element to Wall street In troops today. Its first efforts were directed to the stocks most directly Interested by the Southern Taclfio movement yesterday, hut It ranged up and down the list at will during the day, exploiting first one stock or group of stocks and then another, using pur chases of fresh selections to cover heavy realising sales In others. It was signifi cant of enthusiasm of the speculative sen timent that no depressing effect was pro duced by the weak tone of United States Steel, which old below yesterday's clos ing price throughout the session. Not since May 17 has It happened before the United ttes Steel failed to sell hiaher every day than on the day before. This continuous advance In United States Steel ha been the backbone of the whole market during that period. Its reaction today was even made a favorable argu ment for the advantage of the general market situation. That reaction was not ascribed In the current opinions wns the stock exchange to a pressure to get out of the stock at a profit on the pnrt of the long holders, but to the merciful and. It was considered, politics purpose of the syndicate which has been accumulating the stock for the Paris Introduction to allow the shorts to cover at the existing levels and not to push the punishment of the uncovered bears to .the point that would threaten financial damage that might hurt the whole market. Incidentally there were rumor afloat of a private settlement effected over night of a short Interest alleged to amount to 75.000 shares at a price considerably above any yet touched by United Stales Steel In the market. This rumor was additionally In teresting from the Intimation that capi talists considered high- authority in the steel industry were involved In the abor tive bear campaign. In the preliminary burst of the day's speculation, there were wide openings In Southern Pacific Union Pacific and At chison. Besides the expectel exchange of Southern Pacific preferred for common stock there figured In the discussion a supposed treaty of comity among the rail roads In that group. The Northern Pacific-Union agreement, the Union Pa cific Influence In Atchison and the re ported Inclusion of St. Paul on behalf of Its Pacific coast extension were pointed out a confirmatory facts. This and the Atchison bond Issues were offered r ex planation for the eager buying of those securities. The new Atchison convertible bonds, when Issued, were quoted in the curb market at figures to make the stock holders rights worth nearly one per cent. View of bankers on the volatile market were rather cautionary In character, but did not extend apparently, to the point of withholding money credits from the conduct nf the speculation. Prospects are for a much smaller accession to the cash holdings of the banks this week than last. The gold exports and sub-treasury oper ations have taken cash from the banks and the Inflow of currency from the In terior has been decidedly smaller. The net result promises less than 12,000,000 ad dition to reserve. Bond flotations and the increased spec ulative activity have Involved expansion of loan, but foreign money market have continued to place funds here. A sharp rise in the London discount rate today might not be disconnected with this pro cess. London Joined In the buying of stocks here today, which helped to keep down the exchange rate. The constant digestion of profits kept the movement of prices Irregular but the strong domtnent tone of the market was unchanged until the end of the day. The great activity In the convertible Issues was the . feature of the bond mnrket. The tone was strong. Total sales par value 10,744.000. U. S. bonds were un changed on call. .

On the Stock exchange tho markets generally, with the exception of the buoyancy of Americans, held a tired appearance the greater part of the day. Gilt-edged securi ties and home rail suffered from selling pressure and foreigners and Kaffirs, after early strength, dropped for lack of Paris support. Kaffirs, however, recovered and closed strong.

The market on beef steer was very slow and dull at the decline noted yesterday. Packers did not appear at all anxious for fresh supplies and made no great effort to buy, still they cleaned up the yards In the end. The market on beef steers I now safely 16250 lower than one week ago. Cow and heifers were also slow but there was no material change In prices as com pared with yesterday. As compared with a week ago the general run of cow stuff Is 26c lower, but good heifer have shown little change. 1 Stockers and feeders were in light supply again today and cattle of that description, owing to the small run, have remained about steady til the week. While the decline has-been quite severe on killing cattle as noted above, the loss at this point has boen no greater than at other markets. There has In fact been a downward movement In value at all point, this market suffering no mote than other market. Quotation on cattle: Good to choice corn-fed steere.

If a comparison wa made with the best time at th close yesterday, a a matter of course, It would not show that much ad vance, still the market today could be quoted right at 5c higher than yesterday's close. Practically everything In sight had changed hands by 10 o clock In the morn ing, a considerable proportion of all the hogs selling at $7 2O7.40, and on up as high as 17.60 for the best heavy.

It will be remembered that while receipts were very light yesterday, the bulk of arrivals was consigned direct to pack ers. Today's total receipt wer less than half of yesterday's count, and even with such an unusually small run, the bulk 01 live muttons was again consigned to pack ers this morning. There was only a sprink ling of stock, mostly medium and common grade native stuff, on the market with which to test values and, of course, the range of prices and the relative level of the market are nominally unchanged. Scant supplies all through the week have kept the market on a quotably steady basis with last week as well. The rerplpts this week have been the lightest of any week this year, about 7,000 head In all, as com pared with 11,000 head of last week. Re ceipts for this week a year ago numbered 2ft, 000 head, so that the extent of the shrinkage at this time become doubly ap parent.

A greater number ot pet sons than ever are now wearing eyeglasses or spectacles. Up to a short time ago the demand for lenses was so great, that the manufactur ers were swamped with orders and It was feared In this country that there would be a serious dearth of tense. All of the glass that Is used.' In th optical busl-' ness Is imported. - The-greater part of It comes from Germany,, the rest Is made In England. It seems-that American glass manufacturers Jigve thus far .been unabje to produce glaw of the requisite quality for the eyeglasses. The greatest derect ' fn American eye sight Is Its inability to see at great dis tance. The- majority of persons who wear eyeglass, or spectacles are near sighted. Even those born with perfect eyes have been forced, , before they are very old, to resort to glaases that thy may see everything going an. This my opla Is due Imot entirely" to th artlfl clal conditions that surround a human being In this present age almost from his very tabyhood. As cities Increase In sis and s the conveniences that, are offered In any one city Increase, so doe the value of real estate Increase. And wIh the rise In realty values th- height of buildings In crease and partitions become .more nu merou. Skyscrapers are effective ob structions to long ranges of vision. The mora or less vlvli and tiresome colorings of their walls have usurped In man's vision the plRce of the restful ttnrt unfnth omable blue nf the sky. The apartmeuls In these new Mines are of smaller dimensions than tl o.-e In the old-fsshlnneej biil'clhiirs. for' the' a' space allotted to cad, and every perton In th community must he curtt!d to mke the Investment on the building In ny way profitable. I consequence, mod em person become accustomed to hone but .hort distance. It make no differ ence whether one be employed all' day In a small office, poring over a set of Imoks or whether he is hurrying about th cltv streets, he cannot see very far shout him And eyen In his home, the walls of his room have been grouped more closely about him. The fish that wer found In the tream of the Mammoth cave wer discovered lo be. totally blind, although they at one time did pusses sight. The same law that was operative In dcnrivt,,. of their sight is operative today In the congested centers of modern civil Uatlon, and It Is only a question of tim when th eye of theme who are com pelled to work In artificial light all day long will become so unaccustomed to day light that blinders will have to be r sc.ited to.-Wah1ngtnn Herald Q.iick Action for Your Money-You get that by using The Bee advertising column,
