NEW YORK LETTER. New York, June 15. Copper opened off three-quarters of a point; Union Pacific one-half; St. Paul, three-eighth; Reading about where it closed and the balance of the list practically unchanged from Fridays closing prices. The above about comprises the entire range of fluctuations for the day. A dull, sluggish market without any especial feature prevailed throughout the half holiday session. There was nothing of importance in the way of news to stimulate speculation in the stock market. Fears of further investigations by the government still hovers over the market and has a tendency to retard speculation for bull account. Every new rumor regarding legislation against railroads in the meantime gives the bear traders renewed courage and causes another slight slump in prices. The bank statement was about what l ad been expected. It showed a loss in the cash Item of over three millions, due principally to the two millions in gold shipped out Thursday. As a market factor it was practically ignored and did not cause a riffle in the market. Prices closed weak with losses averaging three quarters to a point lower than yesterday.

CHICAGO LETTEE. Chicago, June 15. For the first time in several days the wheat market furnished a two-sided affair. Bear traders started out with a flourish of trumpets and began selling wheat as If the country were upon the eve of raising two crops instead of one that will show more or less shortage. During the first half liour of the session July wheat suffered a decline of over two cents, making a new low record since the recent bull campaign. This option sold as low as SS cents caused by large selling by commission houses, professional bear traders and disgruntled bulls. Around SS cents for the July and 91 for September, however, the market displayed some remarkable resistance to the bear attacks. It was observed that one could sell all the BARTER AND EXCHANGE.

wheat one desired, but to buy it was a different proposition. This started the shorts to scrambling which ultimately raised the price to SO cents for the July and 93 for the September. Lower cables, fine weather throughout the winter and spring wheat belt and larger receipts at all markets were the influences which started the bear raid upon the market. But these factors were soon lost sight of when it was found that the market was bare of offerings. The market at the end of the session closed fairly strong at slightly higher prices than those of Friday. CORN Followed in the same path as

wheat, selling off about a cent a bushel 1 during the first part of the session, later recovering the larger part of the decline. The same influences prevailed in the corn pit as in the wheat. Better weather for the growing crop; large receipts and estimates for Monday over 500 cars. Cash business only fair. The market closed steady. OATS Strong and higher with shorts fair buyers. The belief that the liquidation Is about over Induced some new investment buying. PRODUCE MARKETS. Chicago. June 15. Strawberries were in light supply and prices showed good gains. There were about 10 cars received and the quality was better. There were larger supplies of blackberries offered. The quality was only fair and demand slow at prices a shade easier than the last quotations. Veal sold well at firm prices. There was a good demand for poultry at previous prices. Butter held firm.

HEARD ON THE BOURSE Market weak on sales by Keer.e and Connor. Waterman & Anthony large sellers of Union Pacific. There is a report that suit brought to make the Union sell Its holdings of other roads. will be Pacific London is as lifeless as we are. and we can see no feature for the moment. With total transactions as small as those of yesterday, I woul.1 look for dull times. Think market can be sold I on rallies. A dull and dragging stock market is likely unless the actives are over-sold. This is small comfort but we have observed that dullness does not last long. The market Is like a human being, whose sentiments reflects every change. The technical position Is good without liquidation of importance. The statements of authorities as to the amounts of grain not yet moveel differ considerably. J. J. Hill Is quoted as saying that in the o northwest that of last year's wheat crop with the exception of 7,000.000 or 8,000,000 bushels has passed out of the producer's hands. The common estimate of the amount unmoved has been not less than 25,000 bushels. The thirty millions which must be paid Into the treasury by the banks before July 10 will promptly come back to Wall street as $36,000,000 in bonds is scheduled for retirement on July 2, and this money will doubtless be turned loose for reinvestment. It is a bull argument, as we figure it. It is said that Reading will get a five per cent rate at next Wednesday's meeting, and that the Jersey Central dividend will likewise be raised. An authority on steel says that there will be $100,000,000 spent in developing the plants at Gary and that the Duluth plant will cost $10,000,000. This money, will be largely taken out of the earnings. Stockholders he says should be given the benefit of the earnings and rot made to wait while the company Is building new plants with its money. Eventually they will get the benefit, but they will be very old when they do. There is an under current of ugly apprehension over the local business situation and in London over affairs in various continental centers and this will have a very bad effect unless some developments change sentiment materially. In fact it would not surprise us if the market were in for a fair break before a new" upturn can be looked for. Still It goes without saying that selling short at this level would be accompanied with risk and we would prefer to advise a waiting attitude before buying, in the belief that stocks can be secured later on to consider ably better advantage.

Friday, as a fast day, i3 responsible for the derisive nickname, "Friday face," formerly in common use and applied to sour-visaged persons. The earliest mention of the word occurs in an old comedy entitled "Wily Beguiled," of 1C06. "What a Friday faced Blave It is. I think in my conscience his face never keeps holiday." And yet "holiday" was originally "holy day," Good Friday being the paramount holy day in the Christian year The Centaurs. The fable that the Centaurs were half man and half horse, like many other old myths, had its origin in reality. It grew out of the horseback riding habit of tl.j Thessalians. People who had never seen a horse before took the horse and the man for one being. That is what the American Indians thought when they first saw tho Spaniards on horseback. She Didn't Understana. A small boy who applied for admission to a New York public school, when asked as to his father's business, proudly responded: "He's a bookmaker." That afternoon the teacher asked him to carry home a note which said: "Dear Mr. Blank: Would you please tell me the cost of rebinding a set of Appleton's Cyclopedia?" Oldest Ships in Service. Denmark claims some intersting specimens of marine architecture in the five oldest vessels in the world. The Albertine wa3 built in 1794. the Constance la 1973. the De Wende Brr doe in 17S6, the Emile Ilauser in 17S6 and the Narie in 1770. All are still in regular service, some even trading to Iceland. Origin of Famous Phrases. "The majesty of the people" came first from the lips of Charles Jaines Fox, who. at a dinner at the Crown and Anchor in 179?, concluded his speech with these words: "Give me leave before I sit down to call on you to drink our sovereign's health the Majesty of the People." Brougham was the author of the saying. "7,'be schoolmasier is abroad;" it was he, too, who in 1821 gave to the reform party the watchword. "The bill, the whole bill, and nothing but the bill;" and Sir Robert Peel invented the popular cry of "Register! Register! Register!" in a speech in 1S37 t the, electors of TaxaworUu

Had His Fears. One day while riding on ono of th suburban cars, two boys of about ten years of age were overheard discussing what they were going to do when, they became men. One of them was not decided, but the other one remarked emphatically: "I always did want to be a boat builder, but I will bet a nickel that I will end up la the ministry yet" Chicago Tribune. Sheep Foretell Storm Coming. Some day you may walk Into a fifcli and ,ee a flock of sheep in a corner with their hacks turned to the northwest. If you wait long enough you will see a wind blow up from that direction. At other times the sheep run and bound over tho fields, rearing on their hind feet as if they were fighting imaginary foes. This Indicates a disturbance of the atmosphere and tho approach of a brisk storm. Small Mexican Church. At Penon, Mexico, a suburb cf Mexico City, may be seen what is perhaps the smallest church in the world. It nestles under tie Ehadow of a small volcano. The church is about tea feet high and 12 feet wide. Whenever a couple is married at the little altar of the church the.-e is barely room for the groom and bride to turn around at the same time. Men and Dead Leaves. You know the fine picture In Homer of the dead leaves which fall to make a place for the young buds. It la as true of men as of trees; we have our time and pass away. Behind our vanished youth germinates the youl of others. Our children's destiny ought not to be dulled by what there has been in ours. Revue des Deux Honde3. Not Such a Fool After All. A well-known surgeon was some tvhat quick tempered if he found a student exceptionally dull, and on one occasion when he tad been more than usually irritated by a tudent'3 density asked him how many times he thought a fool could hear a name mentioned without remembering it. "I don't know," replied the student: "how many times coulj you yourself?"
