NKW YORK, June ll-A good deal of confusion marked the prtca movement of securities last week and this save rise to. or was the Index of, uncertainty In the opinion an the speculative outlook held by the operators In the stock market. Con tinued control was asserted by powerful speculative forces by the vigorous mark Ins up In the, prices of stocks here and there of a class calculated to exercise In fluence on sentiment. At the same time ad vantage was taken of developments In equally Influential stocks to push them for talti, even at the expense of sharp Inroads on tha prices established. Keusons were sought In the course of events for this mixed appearance of the speculation, and aome of the week'a devel upments were held to be sufficiently du bluus In their Implications to account for the hesitation In the action of the stock market, although confidence in the prog ress of Improvement In business and In dustry was unimpaired. Government Crop Report. The government report on the June condition of the grain crops received close attention from financial observers, and It failed to offer the full encouragement hoped for as to the promise of the harvests The decline In the condition of winter wheat during May was a disappointment and the reported increase in acreage of spring wheat planted fell shor'. of the pre vious estimates, although the high condl tlon of the latter was a source of satisfac lion. Speculative attention has been turned to the corn crop, but while a large yield j expected, the fact that official determ Inatiun of the acreage planted remains to be made, impels rautton In the assumption of the final outcome. The disposition to realise profits on fa vorable developments was strikingly lllus trated In the action of Southern Pacific. following the announcement of the plan for retirement of the preferred atock. United -fttawp-rPUMs! alowed tha waning effect,, of the project' to Introduce the stock on the Paris Bourse.' Heports of conditions in the steel trade showed further expansion, nH nrivsnres in wares by several Inde pendent companies were taken as proof of the healthy condition of the Industry. The statistic of the Copper Producers as sociation for May confirmed the belief in a definite check to the accumulation of stocks, the deliveries for the month hav ing exceeded the Increased product by up wards of WOOO.000 pounds. Orders for de livery this month and next were said to lie suffleh-nt to absorb the stocks on hand, and Home of the important producers were practically out of the market at prevailing prices. Copper industrials, however, were but slightly responsive. Interest Hates Advance. Interest rates on money advanced in all markets during the week. Discount rates itsc In London. Paris and Berlin, but the uutxo of gold from New York to Paris ua checked Rate both for call and time Ini.t.H were higher In New York and bor rowing fr-in foreigners was extended.

They bluntly express the hope that he will not be replaced.

"You may have all the Intellectual cul ture and learning of a Plato or an Aris totle, you may be as rich as Cresus, you may live In a palace of gold and ride In the stately carriages of kings, but If you have not virtue and purity of character your riches and pomp will be a curse to yourselves and the ridicule of the world.

MAY SEARCH THE NANIC0KE No Warrant Is, Out for Its Seizure, bat It Is Likely to Be Over hauled If Cnttera Fall In with It. REAL' FORT, N. C, June 13.-Wlth two revenue cutters on watch and a north easter running off the coast, the chances of the success of the filibustering expedi tion from these waters, directed against Venezuela, are small today. Yesterday afternoon the cutter Pamlico left Its head quarters under instructions from the Treasury .department to get In touch at once with the ancient sidewheel steamer Nanlcoke, which is suspected of filibuster ing Intentions. This vessel was at last accounts at Eden ton, a little North Carolina shipping port at the mouth of Chowan river, far back on the western coast of Albermarle sound. The Treasury department activities were Invoked because of persistent rumors that ex-President Castro's friends were plan ning a hostile expedition against President Gomez's government. It was alleged that ten or fifteen thousand stands of arms had been shipped from Belgium to America for this expedition. Accordlngto advices received the pro moters of this enterprise have planned to send them to some Interior port of entry, perhaps as far Inland as Chicago or Cin cinnati. Then they would he quietly trans ported to seme small South Atlantic port and shipped to Venezuela. Secret service men and other agents discovered that two vessels suitable for filibustering purposes had been bought from a New York ship brokerage firm by unknown parties. Hoth were In the vicinity of Norfolk and one was found to be the old side wheel steamer Nanlcoke. The name of the other cannot be Warned. There Is no warrant out for the seizure of the Nanlcoke. However, there is noth ing to prevent searching the vessel, which they will doubtless do If they fall in with It. Meanwhile there Is a possibility that there ts nothing illegal about the sale of the Nanlcoke and the other unknown ship.

It Is believed this woman carried with her documentary evi dence and clues to the whereabouts of Sebastian Lima, brother of Sam, who Is sought. ' Acting Governor General Forbes, who re turned today fmm the province of Pam panga, and iwas soon in conference with Major General William J. Duvall, com manding the division of the Philippines, said: "This affair, deplorable as it seems to have been, has not changed my opinion of the native constabulary, nor my belief in the general excellency and loyalty of the force. Judgment must be reserved un til we receive further details of the mutiny and the causes that brought It about." No additional details of the mutiny and of the three-hour fight made by Governor Walker and the Americans In the church at Oavao have been received here. There are no Indications of any extensive military plans aside from the ordering of several dulachiueuts to lulluw the tuuUucei, Wyoming Senators Protest Against Reduction of Coal Duty. BAGGING IS TO BE DUTIABLE Southern Senators Will Lose Their Contention Upon This Article. LITHOGRAPHERS SCORE F0INT Chenp lew Cards from fiermany Must Pay Tariff Hereafter Large Increase Is Made Thereon Over Present Rate. WASHINGTON. D. C. June 1.1. -The sen ate committee on finance will In all prob ability recommend that a duty.be Imposed upon crude and refined petroleum and the products of petroleum In snlte of the ac tion of the house In putting these articles on the free list. This subject was the most Important of many matters discussed at a meeting of the republican members of the committee today. The oil question was not disposed of finally, hut the Indications are that crude oil will be made dutiable at a quar ter of a cent a gallon, and on refined p troleum a rate of 1" per cent ad valorem will be fixed. It Is probable also that the latter rate will be made to apply to prod ucts of petroleum. Many members of the senate favored the countervailing duty on petroleum, but the representatives of oil producing states did not favor It. The demands for protection upon oli comes principally. It la asserted, from the Independent oil men. CimiI Schedule ot Settled. The coal question was another Important subject under consideration today, but was not 'disposed of. The sentiment of the committed is in favor of reducing the rate on bituminous coal from 67 cents to 50 cents a ton, but the Wyoming senators. In opposing a reduction, assert that the Western Canadian coal would come Into the United States at the lesser rate and the Wyoming coal fields could not com pete with it. According to the view expressed In tha committee today, however, representatives of the largest coal fields of this country agree that the 50 cent rate will afford am ple protection to American coal. Regurdlesa of the fact that southern senators have been able to hold up the pro vision for' free binding twine for the northwestern farmer pending disposition for the cotton bagging question, tha com mittee do not recommend that bagging be placed on the free list. This will prove a great disappoint mnt to senators repre srnttng cotton producing states. - Lithographers Urt Protection. The protection asked by American litho graphers against the Importation of cheap vl a cauls from fiermany will be recom mended. On photographic post cards litho graphed In one color, a rate of U cents a pound, and 25 per cent advalorem will be recommended. This is a large Increase over the existing rate, but one which the committee thinks the condition of the llth oKraphing Industry In. the United States demands. Additional protection will he recommended also on other labels, decal comanias and other articles connected with the Industry. Many changes In phraseology, made nec essary by amendments to the bill, which have been made since It was reported, were adopted today. Another meeting will be held tomorrow mi rnlng. Vote Rxpected This Week. The feeling in all factions in the senate Is that the tariff bill Is near its last days of consideration In the senate. Senator Aid rich is hopeful that the end may be reached by next Saturday and many of the con servative republicans, as well aa many of the democrats, are Inclined to agree with this prediction. The "progressive" repub licans are not quite so optlmlstlo, but Senator Beverldge la of the opinion that the final vote will not be postponed beyond the end of next week. The Income tax amendments to the bill wll! be taken up for consideration on Fri day and a vote may be reached on tha proposition the. same day. It Is possible, however, that efforts may be made to secure a still further postponement of a vote. The week will be devoted to a gen eral cleaning up. With the exoeptlon of one disputed point In the silk schedule, tha senate last week concluded lta aaoond con sideration of the bill and disposed of all parcgraphs of the schedules on which tha committee had reported. Many Duties Vndlspoaed Of. Among the questions not acted upon In committee were many disputed polnta, but there will be an effort to clean them up rapidly and It Is believed that compara tively little time will be taken on any of them. Many of the more Important pro visions still to be considered are those pertaining to lumber, wood pulp, print paper, hides, coal, zinc, window glass, scrap iron, cotton ties, cotton bagging, leather goods, binding twine and petroleum. Rough lumber remains on the dutiable list, but the question of the amount of cHity and the dllferentlal In duty between rough lumber and the manufactured article remain to be settled. In the paper schedule the principal Items to be considered are the duty on ground wood and print paper. It seems probable that the ground wood, or pulp, will be left free, but that the rate on paper will be made U per ton Instead cf 12 aa fixed by tho house, and Vi cs In the present law. This provision will be left cpen aa long aa possible to permit Senator Hale, who has bffri absent because of Illness, to be pres ent when the subject ccmes up. He will stand out staunchly for a stiff duty oa all of these articles. Hides to He Dutiable. Hides, coal and petroleum ara giving the finance committee no little concern, but the present lndi atluns are that the senate will place a dutv on all of these articles. Zinc, sine ore and sine In blocks, pigs and sheets ano other zino paint products are still to be considered, as ara sulphate of ammonia and barytes.
