LATEST MOVEMENTS I IS. INDUSTRIAL CENTERS,

NEW Y0EK LETTER. New York, June 11. The stock market upon the whole shows declines varying from one to three points after holding strong most of the day. Despite the break in the wheat market in Chicago, railroad shares and notably Union Pacific displayed a weak undertone. This issue declined from 126i, the high price . obtained during the first hour of the sc-ssion to 133 at the close. There was a spasmodic rally in the entire list around the noon hour caused in the main by the action of Governor Hughes in vetoing the two cent rate bill. Tiiis bit of news gave shorts in New York Central, Pennsylvania and Reading some uneasiness and caused considerable buying for their account. But, however, after their wants had been supplied the market turned weaker than ever. The selling in copper shares was upon a large scale. Amalgamated suffered a loss of two and one-half points; Anaconda about two and the Utah copper company almost six. There was nothing in tlieway of news to cause the weakness in these shares outside of the general belief that the metal market is in a strained condition and ultimately will have to work lower. The market closed weak and irregular with losses noticeable throughout the list. & YORK STOCK MARKET

HEARD ON THE BOURSE All rail shipments of f.our eastbound last week increased 19,5$ 5 barrels, and were 29.530 more than a year ago. Shipments of grain Increase 209,000 bushels over the week before and 123,000 bushels over a year ago. Provision shipments gained 741 tons over the preceding week but were 12,549 tons under a year a;:o.

The F.urlington Is doing as much if not more business than last year and we are not losing tonnage to any extent, said an official of the Burlingtun road. Merchandise and grain business Is good. Cars are in better sup ply and there Is a large movement of them. We are not having the weather we should for the crops to make good growth. We have larger acreage in corn, but the prospects are not as good as last year as they were rather unusual at this time last year along the northern end of our line and crops are in need of warmer weather.

Pennsylvania displays a stronger upward tendency. Reading tipped for 115 very soon. Harirman houses evidently buying Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. Reported attempt may be made this week to drive in shorts in steel. Bull tips noted on Amalgamated and Anaconda. We would watch low priced stocks like Rock Island, Erie, O. W. and Southern Railway, as pool activity is foreshadowed along specialty lines. B. It. T. is tipped for a dividend but would notb uy on recessions now. Railroads operating east through Chicago and St. Louis are doing a good and satisfactory business. They are more even as regards the supply of cars, but the Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt lines are not troubled with any surplus, although they are nearer to that condition than for any time in over a year. Crop conditions have slightly Improved, but are not good in the main, when comparison is made with last j-ear. Merchandise tonnage la good and shows little change either way. Tonnage going east is of about the same volume as grain shipments from Interior junction points to the seaboard and eastern interior having enlarged of late, due to the increased deliveries of corn. Westbound ton nage In coal and Iron and steel ia large and promises to continue but there is hardly as much coal coming to the west as some time ago according to re ports from dealers. Southern roads re port a well balanced traffic with business conditions generally satisfactory. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS East Chicago Lot 16, 17, IS, 19, 20, block 1, Lake Shore addition, William H.

Value of the Thumb. "Solomon says thumbs up," because tbs thumb i3 said to be worth fully one-third the entire value of the hand. The different fingers are far from having all the same value before the eyes of the law. . Much of the importance among them is the thumb, for without it the hand no longer is a pincers but merely . a claw. The French court allows In damages 15 to 35 per cenL value for the right and ten to 15 per cent for the left thumb. The Austrian schedule gives from 15 per cent, for the left to 25 per cent for the right. In Germany 20 to J per cent, and even as high as S3.3 per cent, has been awarded- The percentage is based on 100 as the total value of the hand, industriously speaking, before the accident Peru Has Loftiest City. ine lomest city In the world is Pasco, Peru. It i3 14,275 feet above the sea, and it nearly always freezes there in the shade. Pasco is famous for it3 rich silver mines. Name the individual! The man who assumes that he knows all there Is to know about everything, and that nobody else knows much about .anything. Is a nuisance unless he keeps the opinion to himself. Nashville American.

Lovers of this pretty Cower may be interested in the fable concerning it The blossom has five petals and five sepals. In most pansies, especially of the earlier ajid less higbly developed varieties, two of the petals are plain In color and three are gay. The two plain petals have a single sepal each, and the third, which is. the largest of all, has two sepals. The fable is that the pansy represents a family, consisting of husband, wife and four daughters, two of the latter being step-children of the wife. The plain petals axe the step-children, with only one chair; the two small gay petals are the daughters, with a chair each, and the large gay petal is the wife, with two chairs. To find the father one must strip away the.petals until the stamens and pistil3 are bare. They nave a fanciful resemblance to an old man with a flannel wrap round his neck, hi3 shoulders upraised and his feet in a bathtub. In France the pansy Is unl versally called tbe step-mother. Extravagance in Dress. Very few persons outside of the glittering circle . of our enormously rich families, who constitute what 13 referred to as "the best society," can understand how any young woman in this or any other country can spend upon her wardrobe such vast amounts oi money as are expended by the daughters cf some of these families The history cf the world does not show such reckless extravagance in the way of dres3. Nor, for the matter of that, does the history of the world show so riotous a use of money as that practiced by our very rich ia their strictly social divertisements. Happy 13 the lot of the man or woman who Is not tempted to such foolish indulgences, which take the edge from life's real joy! Hint from. Uncle Eben. . "Don' pride yohse'f too ranch on yoh own opinions," said Uncle Eben. "A mule glnerally has his own way, bn it don't make him nonu'sr."

Practical Young Man Quieted the Fears of His Fiancee. Not long ago a young man, most not ably unblessed with worldly good3, met and won a girl whose decided personal charms were In no wise lessened by the fact of her possessing fully enough to at least keep the wolf bowling at a distance. "Do you know, George," she one day said softly, "I am almost sorry that I have any money not, of course, that I think you would love me the les3, but well " "I ara not, dearest," he replied, fondly stroking her soft, brown hair. "You know I'd love you if you had not a penny, but I'm glad you have. You see, I know that, should I die, you would be well provided for." "But suppose I should die?" she whispered. "Well, then I'd be well provided for, darling," he answered, for he 13 a practical voi t man. In Darkest Asia. Mr. E. L. Harris, United. States con euI at Smyrna, makes an Interesting report on conditions In Asia Minor, and In regard to electricity, says: "The city of Smyrna, with nearly 400, 000 population, has no electric railway, electric light or telephone. There are cities all pver Asia Minor varying in size from 20,000 to &0.000 inhabitants where there are opportunities of getting concessions for electric light and traction. It is strange for American electrical concerns to turn their backs on this field, with the excuse that nothing under a $1,000,000 conce'tGP would attract them. Co.mpany Breeds Appetite. "I think the reason you can eat sa little and live," ea!d the woman who eat3 to the woman who rbesn't, "is because you are by yourself bo much. Now, I am diffprent. I work in a room with a lot of people. They absorb my vitality to such an. extent that I ara hungry all the tirna. Regularly I eat breakfast, lunch and direr and sometimes when I go to the theater I have a supper afterward. Yes, I supposa it is a good deal cheaper to bo by yourself."
