Small savings are of as much Importance as largo cnrs. But the owners of small wavinrs. as a. rule, are not duly sensible of that fact. The sum seems Infignlncant.

DULL SEASON IN STOCKS PBJCE9 GROWDIO HEAVY AJTTJ OXL.T PROFESSIONALS INDULGE Some Bidding? Early In the Week, but the Hall Sloxement Short-Llved Local Trade Active. At New York, Saturday, money on call was steady at per cent.; last loan, 2& Prime mercantile paper, Z'QZ! per cent. Sterling exchange was steady with actual business In bankers' bills at 14.8744.88 for demand and at i8os'4.S6 for sixty days; posted rates. lf.SC34.87 and 14.S3; commercial bills, H&H. Silver certificates 60H1T62c; bar silver, 0gc; Mexican dollars, 4SUc At London bar silver closed quiet at ZT&d an ounce. The Imports of specie last week were 8&) gold, and $79,100 silver. The Imports of dry goods and general merchandise at the port of New York for the week wore valued at 19.140,153. The exports of gold and silver to all countries for the week aggregated J7S3,S24 in silver bars and coin, and $2,6T4,300 In gold. The New York weekly bank statement shows the following changes: Surplus reserve, decrease ..$ 9.319,900 Loans, Increase 15.9CtiOO Specie, decrease 7,0Jo,$00 Legal tenders. Increase 17o,S0 Deposits. Increase 9,938.4W Circulation, decrease 22.700 The banks now hold $30,003,200 In excess of legal requirements. The New York Financier says: "The bank . statement for the week ending June 17 is logical, if the fact that the previous exhibit did not show the result of current operations Is taken into account. Tho loss of over seven millions of cash, for Instance, cannot be traced to the business of the past week, especially since the latter exports of gold figure In the totals only slightly. But . as the former week's losses were not shown at the time, the averages are about correct. The difficulty in understanding the weekly statements lies In the fact that the system of computation employed tends to minimize or exaggerate real conditions. The feature of the current statement Is the remarkable expansion of $15,902,900 In loans, a sum very much larger than anticipated. There has been. It Is true, some revival in Stock Exchange activity, but not enough to warrant a violent increase such as shown in the loan account. Probably a portion of the previous 1 week'i business has been carried into the present statement. Following the expansion of nearly eleven millions for the week ending June 10, the total loan Increase of twenty-five millions and over In two weeks makes plain why reserves are decreasing, as the gold shipped to Europe has not affected the totals to the extent described. The deposit expansion of $3,933,400 has increased reserve requirements about two and a half millions and this, added to the loss cf $.805,3)0 in specie, decreases the reserve by $3,319,900, making a reduction in the last two weeks In this ltm of over $12,000,000. Still, as the present reserve Is very much above the average reported over the spring months, the current decrease is not overwhelmingly important. The interest centers In the question of how much further the liabilities of the bankers are to be expanded and whether ihe operations now at work will have the effect of raising money rates The latter possibility is by no means uncertain. Its influence will be to put a stop immediately to gold exports." Total sales of stocks amounted to only 124.279 shares.

The board room of the New York Stock Exchange was almost deserted Saturday, and there teemed an absolute lack of buying demand, so even inig;nificant offerings carried the level of prices downward. The few professional traders present were disposed to sell stocks In anticipation of the unfavorable bank statement and on the general principle that prices will yield In a dull market. An Idea of the narrowness of the market is given by the fact that during the first hour there were Just two transactions recorded in St. Paul, which was the more notable because of its good statement of gross earnings for the second week in June. The buying of the Flower group, which has been persisted in for the Izzi ttrr cays la ixc cf the dullness in th

rest of the market, was abandoned and these stocks were allowed to drift downward with the rest of the market. American Steel and Wire fell away rather shirply with the reports of a dispute among the directors as to the payment of a. dividend on the common stock. There were rather tharp losres by other new Industrials which afterward partly recovered. The bad bank statement brought little selling and the traders covered short contracts, CaUSlns; a rally. Net changtes are unimportant In nearly all cases as the evening up of contracts by traders brought prices back to about the starting point. Bond3 showed a declining tendency in sympathy with stocks on a small volume of business. TUB WEEK ON 'CHANGE. The general public maintained an Indifferent mood towards happenings in Wall street during the week. Professional traders have shown Increasing Indifference to the market as their efforts to invite outside participation failed. Last week's rise continued and culminated on Tuesday, when a number of heavy operators closed out their long accounts at a profit. After this realizing movement the trading was mainly a contest between professionals as to which way the current of prices should turn. There was an obvious bull party In the group of specialties with which the name of the late Mr. Flower is still Identified. Both Brooklyn Transit and Federal Steel have received a large degree of attention from this party. The recovery In Sugar and strength in the coalers, and, in some isolated instances. In the railroads, gave encouragement to the bull interest, but it had to contend with the llstlessness of the general public and with the machinations of the powerful bear party In the street, one of the largest individual operators maintaining: his conviction that prices are too high. Some of the steel stocks hung heavily back on reports of directors' dissensions over dividend questions, thus Impeding the movement In Federal Steel. The crisis on the wage question in Colorado, which closes the ore smelters and a number of mines, and thus takes from the railroads an important item of ther revenue, weighed on the stocks of all the properties concerned and had some sympathetic effect on the stocks of neighboring railroads, the Southwesterns as a whole being conspicuously weak. The heavy rainstorms of the week aroused some fears of damage to the crops, and there were some current nonotlicial estimates of the coming wheat crop, placing it below 500.000.000 bushels. The heavy tone to the grangers was due to this cause. The bears also counted on a sentimental effect from an unfavorable bank statement, which was confidently anticipated. A slight hardening tendency in the money market toward the end of the week attracted attention to the oondltlon of the banking reserves. There has been a distinct reactionary tendency in portions of the railroad bond market, showing a diminution of a demand, which had seemed for some time past quite Insatiable. This aroused some question of the available supply of Idle capital still seeking Investment. The May foreign trade statement Issued by the Bureau of Statistics of the Treasury Department also received an unfavorable Interpretation from the bear element In that it showed the diminution of experts compared with lat year still In progress. Something has been made, also, of the broadening proportions of the problem offered for solution in the Philippines and the possibility of large additional forces bemg required to subdue the Insurgents and establish order. The prevailing high prices of our high-grade securities have undoubtedly prompted very heavy selling by foreign holders, and the fact that we are now exporting gold leads some authorities to conclude that the trade balance In our favor has thus been liquidated, but special Inducements may have been offered by foreign government institutions to make good the apparent margin of loss Involved in exporting gold. United States twos declined the threes 4 and the new fours H per cent, in the bid price. The following table, prepared by L. W. Louis, Room 11, Board of Trade, shows the range of quotations: .

Another Good Week's Dailness and Firm Price. During the second week of June, as In the first week, the volume of business transacted was rery satisfactory and In excess of the corresponding weeks In June last year, and with this strong prices are a prominent feature. On the wholesale streets and Commission row trade last week was unexceptional ly good for midsummer and yet no material falling off In trade has manifested itself, unless it be In Iron and steel products. Prtcts In these lines have been advanced so that persons who buy such goods are becoming cautious and fear the advances are not healthy. The local grain market is dull on light receipts.

the rrrEitMOST success. It Is Not in Hoarding: Money, bat In Its Wise Expenditure. Maurice Thompson, In Saturday Evening Post. Tho rustic philosopher who said. " 'Em 'at has, gita, an 'em 'at keeps, has; an' 'em 'at gits an keeps. Is rich folks," took the natural view of what ' success means, especially financial success; but the wise man's understanding of riches is that money, no matter tn how great quantity, is not of itself riches. To be truly wealthy, even In the most cordld sense, one must have what money can buy. The enlightened nature of man has two distinct aspirations; one purely spiritual, the other purely temporal and sensuous. A happy man should be he who has the means and knows how to satisfy to the greatest extent, within the bounds or health, these natural aspirations. In a word, plenty of money and a wise judgment in spending it should bring man his best worldly happiness, or rather the best srilles of worldly fortune. We may define success as the fulfillment of one's alms, but there is a greater success in making a fortunate choice of aims. "Plain living and high thinking" may Induce the worst form of atonic dyspepsia. Said a famous physician of a feeble and wasted woman whose charities were legion: "She is dying of Intemperance in the use of her soul." She had been successful that la, she had aimed to do the greatest amount of charitable work in the shortest possible time, and had accomplished her purpose. Sentiment outran wisdom, and death cut short a valuable life. Her success was the most deDlorable of failures. a Men probably use their souls with far greater economy than women, or It may be that men have less soul-substance to trouble them withal, but the intemperance of effort which commonly goes by the name of overwork, and brings, in so many instances, the success that kills. Is by no means exclusively a feminine besetment. Men nowadays seem to aim at the pace that wrecks both the soul and the physique, even when their greater purpose Is one of purely unselfish outcome. They disregard personal consequences In their loyalty to asiration, whether the aspiration be noble or gnoble, the only proviso being the swiftest sweep to the largest accomplishment. The success of happiness, which from Immemorial-times has been what man is supposed to crave unceasingly, doubtless has its sound connection with money, for the root of all evil is, in our modern economy, also the bulb of all worldly prosperity and the source of our ability to do a very large part of that which we would have others do unto us. Success in gathering gives a sackful to sow, and the sowing Is the real hapiness; by it we root ourselves in the everasting soil; the generations to come send back to us the comfort of their prosperity. No miser has ever known success; his hoard has been a torture to him; the wise and righteous spendthrift i3 the successful man. What do you want riches for? In analyzing your aspirations you will establish your true value. Is it yachts, private cars, feasting and revelry, gorgeous equipments, regal wardrobes the gorging of self, a plethora of Indulgences? Would that be success? Certainly, if you hit your target; but like the atonic dyspepsia induced by overthinking and underfeeling. your attainment falls far short of either physical or moral happiness. "Work to get and get to spend" Is a good maxim for a healthy mind. Circulation is the highest function of money; but it is a function of righteousness to choose the channels of circulation. How shall I spend my money, not how shall I hoard It. Is the great consideration making for happiness. The rich man. the man of many millions, has inexhaustible fountains of pure delight at his command. What a Joy to him when he sees a little of his money, a few hundreds or a few thousands, sprinkle less fortunate lives than his with a refreshing dew of encouragement! Here Is success well worth aiming at. Sowing wisely what one has reaped and threshed taking happiness by giving joy. Too Fast. Detroit Journal.

WORK OF AN ASSASSIN

L.ITIIEII SAMI'SOX MURDERED DY AX TMCXOWX EXE3IY XEAH ALTO. Had Bern Telllnar the Grand Jury About Ilarii Burn era Farmer Coleman Devoured by Hog". Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind.. June 17. Luther Sampson, resiling on the Jonas Parks farm, south of Alto, this county, lies at the point of death with his head crushed and a bullet In his body near the heart. At 2 o'clock this morning Sampson was awakened by a nclse in his yard and went to Investigate. When about twelve feet from the door a man in disguise stepped out from the shrubbery and struck him with a club, mashing his skull. Tho assassin then shot him to make sure of his work. When members of the family reached the scene the murderer had escaped. Sampson has not regained consciousness and hia Injuries are believed to be fatal. ' A few weeks ago Sampson was arrested on an indictment charging him with burning the barn on the Parks farm for the Insurance on the contents. It Is said that Sampson threatened to Implicate another man when the case should come up, and thl3 Is' suggested as a possible motive for the crime. Since the burning of the barn last February the neighborhood has been greatly stirred up. It Is alleged that 100 tons of baled hay and a large quantity of grain was removed from the barn the night before the fire. The insurance company offered a reward of $100 for the arrest and conviction of the incendiary and detectives worked on the case resulting In the arrest of Sampson. He was before the grand Jury yesterday and It is said connected others with the burning, and his friends declare the purpose was to kill Sampson to close his mouth against them. Sampson was still alive at a late hour this afternoon. He has always been regarded as an honest, hardworking man. HOGS MADE A MEAL OP HIM. SHftslnff Farmer Found Dead, and Drother Dies on Hearing; the News. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CRAWFORDSVILLB, Ind., June 17.Benton Coleman, who owned a large farm near Darlington, left home several days ago after a bitter quarrel with his wife, with the avowed intention of drinking himself to death. To-day his mutilated body, or what hogs had left it, was found In the woods near Colfax. Empty whisky bottles were at hia side, and the supposition is that while helplessly drunk hogs had attacked him and made a meal of ''him. Coleman had 400 In bills which were trampled la the mud about the body. He had experienced more than his share of domestic difficulty. Hl9 first wife gave him plenty of advertisement a few years ago. After divorce she burned his barns and poisoned his cattle. The annoyance did not cease until she was caught and prosecuted. Coleman then married again, but from this woman was twice divorced and remarried. John Coleman, a brother, who has been worrying greatly over his disappearance, dropped dead when told of his brother's fate. er Coleman's Trouble. EDeclal to ths Indianapolis Journal. LEBANON, Ind., June 17. William B. Coleman, who was found dead to-day near Colfax, was recently divorced from his wife and on the next day remarried her in this city. Hogs had eaten off his head and ell the flesh from the bones.

WHY THEY TALK TOO MUCH. Our Naval Ofleera Are Not Used to Belna Interviewed. New Orleans Times Democrat. "I'm not in the least surprised that a good many of our naval officers havo got into trouble by doing too much talking," remarked a gentleman who has grown gray and wise in the service of Uncle Sam. "The point of the whole matter Is that they are rot used to being interviewed. Prior to the war they were almost absolutely unknown to the general public, and the average man couldn't have named our admirals to have saved his soul. The majority of the captains never came Into contact with a reporter in their lives, and to talk circumspectly for print, which la an art familiar to every curb-stone politician, was something completely foreign to their experience. "Now, then, the war come on, and all of a sudden their every utterance assumes distinct news value. Naturally enough it took time for such -an astonishing metamorphosis to dawn on our gallant freespoken sailormen. and there are a good nany whose cranluma It has not yet entirely penetrated. When approached freely by correspondents they talked freely and said many things that were all right in ordinary conversation, but all wrong when blazoned forth under a 'scare head In a newspaper. They couldn't realize that they were addressing recording machines. Instead of every-day human beings, and when they saw their light and ajry monologues In print they felt hurt and surprised, although no subterfuge was used and no confidence betrayed. I heard recently that the department had sent a kindly, but very pointed, letter of advice on the subject to every officer In the service, and it Is something that ought to have been done the very moment the war clouds began to gather. With the fellows In the army It was different. They get all over the country, mix with social life and know the manual of interviews as well as they know the manual of arms. When one of them talked out of school you can rest assured he did It on purpose." "Is Wealth Worth flavins; P Northern Telegraph (England.) When a man Is lifted out of the position of irksome poverty, and can have plain wholesome food in a clean, sanitary home, after. this the additions made by abundance of money go for very little. They may gratify love of show, feelings of self-consequence, and abnormal cravings, but In doing so they do not increase happiness, but lessen It.
