NEW YORK LETTER. New York, June 14. The stock market had sufficient bear news in evidence to cause quite a slump in values, yet prices only show declines varying from on-;- to two points. Union Pacific, Great Northern, Northern Pacific, New York Central, Pennsylvania and St. I'aul were the leaders on the railway list. Copper, Anaconda and Smelters furnished the weak features In the industrial group. President Hill's pessimistic utterances in a published interview in regard to the general financial and business conditions caused considerable liquidation in Union Pacific and other higher priced shares. Copper reached new low levels upon Lhe present bear movement. It declined from 83 to Sli. caused in the main to another break in the metal market in London which has been declining fractionally of late. Very unsettled conditions in the financial world in both Paris and Berlin also helped the general depressing movement. Predictions as to tomorrow's bank statement were anything but flattering. It is said the banks will show a loss for the week of between two and three millions. The market generally rallied feebly from the lowest prices ruling early, but the close throughout the list was not enthusiastic or buoyant and prices may recede again tomorrow. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET

CHICAGO LETTER. Chicago, June 14. WHEAT Suffered decline of over two cents a bushel caused in the main by more seasonable weather conditions in the northwest and reports of harvesting being started in Texas and Tennessee. Although the foreign markets were stronger than yesterday and a better export demand reported, it was not reflected In the market here. Liquidation in the wheat pit has continued throughout the day. The selling by the outside public and the constant pressing of every advantage by the professional element has brought a weakened speculative condition in the wheat pit. Prices did not regain but a fewfractions of the early losses, the market closing weak at the decline. CORN An altogether more cheerful view of the growing crop situation in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Illinois combined to the general weakness in other grain markets caused a slight recession in corn values. A splendid cash demand was reported; sales to the BARTER AND EXCHANGE. rvfH iOK Will exchange a sofa in eood condition for an Angora cat or 10 cash. F. Ilearns. 24 Ogrden street.

seaboard close to one-half million bushels. Cash corn in the sample market declined one-half cent, which was later recovered. The speculative market closed with a rather weak undertone. OATS Showed some strength in the early part of the session. The July option responded readily to new buying power which appeared. The class of crop reports received were more reassuring than usual. An absence of damago by the pests from the oat fields where the green bug has been working were lacking. During the last hour of the session the market eased off in sympathy with weakness In the other pits. PIIODUCE MARKETS. Chicago, June 14. Price changes in produce values were few.

HEARD ON THE BOURSE The Iron Age today says: The Miniken failure is ascribed to special conditions in which banking interests have played a significant part. It is considered unlikely that dividends will be resumed during the calendar year on the Issues on which payments were suspended or reduced a year and a half ago. During May the blast furnaces did not do quite as well as expected. The production of that money of coke and anthracite furnaces footed up 2.294,005 tons. The pig iron markets throughout the country are quiet but are steady. In the central west the steel market has eased off somewhat and 29.50 is now quoted at Pittsburg for ordinary Bessemer billets. There has been quite a run for the structural mills. The lighter lines .are very busy. The coke Industry continues in an abnoimal condition. Joseph says. Buy Pacifies, Reading, Atchison of New York Central trading, temporarily for quick profits. There will be considerable improvement, hence the advisability of buying. The Morgan issues, especiaaly Southern Railway, Steels and Fries are distinctly cheap. Canadian Pacific will sell above 175. Buy Brooklyn Rapid Transit conservatively. Miller : Co. Intrinsically stocks are cheap at the present level beyond question of doubt, but the fear of industrial troubles has certainly placed a damper on the speculative enthusiasm and therefore it would seem that the better part of discretion would be to wait a clearing of the atmosphere before taking a positive stand on the market. Interests familiar with Rock Island affairs say that they are unable to account for the sharp break in the preI ferred stock except on the theory that some holders were compelled to sacrifice their shares. Earnings of the Rock Island system are 'very satisfactory. Private advices indicate that no special change in crop conditions in the Rock Island territory occurred within the last two- weeks. Illinois Steel company. The annual meeting of the Illinois Steel company was held in Chicago yesterday and was the usual perfunctory affair. Former directors and officials were elected without change. The same directors and officers of the Elgin, Jollet & Eastern railway and the Chicago, Lake Shore & Eastern railway were also reelected, subsequent meetings the financial returne of three companies were made to the United States Steel corporation. In view of the rather unfavorable bank statement outlook and the other considerations we believe that stocks can be bought some cheaper later on and we would advise waiting for a good reaction before making new commitments on the long side. Bear points are out on Pennsylvania and Reading Canadian Taciflc may continue strong on extra dividend talk but we much prefer Great Northern which is worth as much and is being steadily ac cumulated by inside interests. With fair weather wheat and cotton should go lower. Clement, Curtis & Co. say: The ad vance in subway is due to the abso lute control of the property of J. Ogden Armour and the railroads entering Chicago. Mamuel McRoberts of the union stock yards succeeds Mr. Wheeler as president and W. J. C. Denyon of Kan sas City, another Armour employe, will be general manager. J. Ogden Armour is to be chairman of the executive committee and takes the place on the board of P. A. Valentine. The recent loan of $3,000,000 from Kuhn. Loeb & Co., has been extended for several vears and an additional $4,000,000 has been secured on long terms for com pletion of the tunnels and their equip ment for operations. It is likely that the stock will now work its way back to former high prices as there is noth ing of an unfavorable character to de velop in the property. A WANT AD.

At the end of the ballroom floor In Riley's Tonopah saloon was a stage, upon which the orchestra sat. On one side were tiers of curtained boxes and along the other ran a raised gal lery with drinking tables and chairs. A railing held the crowd back from the dancers, but there were no hurdles between tho onlookers and the bar. In fact, from the way they gravitated thither I judged the floor to be on a slant. The place was thronsed and very noisy. In the midst of a swinging two-step one of the musi cians picked up a cow bell from be tween his feet and jangled it loudly. What does that mean?" I asked. "A fight?" ''Oh, no," said a man at my side, "the orchestra wants a drink," and I saw a white-aproned attendant scudding toward the stage to take their orders. At regular intervals the wild clamor of this bovine neck charm broke out and it never failed to gain attention. Rex Beach in Everybody's. Keyhold Tenure In England. The curious custom of keyhold ten ure stul prevails at Crowland, the famous abbey town in the Lincoln shire fens, where there are a number of cottages which are neither copyhold, freehold nor leasehold. They were originally built on waste land, and in each case the possessor of the key hold3 an undisputed tenancy. Although some of the occupiers have replaced the mud and thatched dwellings of antiquity with brick and slated buildings, they have no power to sell or will them away, for they have no deeds. On a tenant dying the first person to cross the threshold takes his place, if he so desires. Many devices have been resorted to to obtain the keys. The properties carry a county vote, but the poor law guardians always refuse to grant relief to the tenants. London Globe. Gentleman of the Old School. The earl of Buchan wa3 to the end of his life, although eccentric, a great social favorite and "a terrible flirt" On leaving a room he would take leave of the prettiest young lady srith oldfashioned courtesy, and say, "Good-by, my dear; and pray remember that Margaret countess of Euchan, is not lmrQort3

Harry was sent to the grocery store for five pound3 of pulverized sugar. In a childish manner, he kept the name fresh in his mind by repeating it over and over all the way to the store. On reaching the store he went to the clerk and said: "My mamma says to please snd up five pounds of paralyzed sugar'
