New York. May 22.—The stock market
to-day was unsettled and rather weak. Ex
cept In the case of Distillers and Sugar,
however, the pressure to spll was not
marked. London evidently SPems most
onerned in the outcome of the Kaffir
settlement, and paid little attention to
American securities, save perhaps to sell
St. Paul, Louisville and Nashville, and
certain of the low priced issues to a mod
erate extent. Local operators were gener
ally bearish in their views because of the
sharp rise in wheat and the sensational
reports from the west regarding the crop
outlook. Tijese stories were not confirmed
by railroad officials here, but the fact that
July wheat touched 80c in this market
seemed to be corroborated enough for the
bears on the stocks, who displayed more
courage and activity than for months
past. Sugar and Distillers, and, in the
late trading, the. Grangers, were the spec
ial points of attack. Distillers was press
ed for sale throughout and important long
Interests liquidated. The transactions
were 58,3X1 snares and the stock ranged
between 21% and 23%, closing at 21%—a net
loss for the day of 1% per cent. Just at
the close a drive was made against the
Grangers and St Paul fell to 66, Rock Is
land to 68%, Burlington to 78% and North
western to 98%. Northern Pacific was again
heavy and fell to 18%. a decline of 1% per
cent. Fears of a heavy assessment ac
count for the further liquidation in the
stock. Great Northern, preferred, on the
other hand, jumped 5 to 133. Manhattan
was heavy and sold down 1% to 115%. Dur
ing the morning hour there was some good
buying of Leather and Rubber stocks on
the improved outlook for the trades. Cord
age, preferred, sold at 10, the lowest price
made since the reorganization of the com
pany. The market closed weak in tone.
Net changes show losses of %@l% per cent,
on the day. Distillers leading.. Tobacco
%. preferred % and Great Northern, pre
ferred, 5 per cent, on the day. The total
sales were 299.140 shares, including 59,500
shares Sugar and 58,355 shares Distillers;
230 000 shares were of the listed class, and

Chicago, May 22.—Wheat gazed IV over
night and 2' 4 c by the action of the market
to-day total 3%e between the close of yes
terday and that of to-da>. The same
wheat buying enthusiasm that has been
the feature for six weeks or more pos
sessed the speculative outside world to
day. The price cut no figure If Jul> ha l
been 31 instead of 75c there is no doubt
but that there would have been as great
if not a greater demand. The trade had
none of the professional marks about.
The country and the outside public which
are only heard from in times of unusual
excitement were furnishing the buying or
ders. Kverv commission house has a lino
of new customers who, by their general
demeanor betray their lack of knowledge
of speculative dealings. The talent still
holds off and aopears to I** awaiting ati
opportunity to take the field on the short
side. Private advices repotting crop dam*
ages, were more numerous than ever and
state reports were out each of them dwell
ing to a greater or lesser extent on the in
jury by the recent frosts, etc. July wheat
opened from 74V to ?'*' sold between
74%c ami 77V, closing at the outside. ; : v
higher than yesterday. In the sample le
pa. tm* nt, prices were strong ami averaged
from 2V 3c per bushel higher, rlyscd
with a further advance In sympathy with
lhe futures.
Coen.—Principally sympathy with wheat
actuated in orn to-day. The continued
liberal receipts and the good trading pre
vented prices from running away, but
still the tone was a good, strong one July
corn opened at . r dV.aold between 54V ami
55c.* closing at MV—V higher than yester
day. Cash cqrn sold about one cent higher
than yesterday.
Oats.—Not mu h activity was noticeable
In oats. A fair business was transacted
and New Vork was credited with buying
early and selling late in the session. The
tone was a Arm one, the strength corning
from the other grains. July closed Vo V*
higher than yesterday. Cash oats were
about V higher than yesterday.
Provisions.—The strength of wheat
ruled product to-day. The hog market
opened weak, but later reports were of
more steadiness. The orders to buy were
from tiie outside and man> ‘’longs ’ sold
out late in the session, securing the profits
thereby. Packers sold more than they
bought. The close was T'jfilnr higher
than yesterday for July pork. 2V higher
for July lard and IV’ f° r July ribs.

Gold Col 11 m nnd Silver Bricks Turned
llt on Long; Islnnd.
From the Philadelphia Press.
New Y'ork, May 19. —John Peterson found
treasure ten days ago. He was digging
a cistern in the yard of Postmaster YVells
of Baiting Hollow, on Long Island, when
he dug up a box of gold. Rudolph Kuoos,
his helper saw the gold, but Pcflerson
would not let him examine it and made
off to hide the box. When he came back
he refused tn answer any questions, even
to Postmaster Wells.
Later, Bernard Ford, a farmer living
two miles away, found treasure. Post
master Wells went to investigate. The
farmer had picked up a number of coins
ami some silver bricks. The bricks were
rudely moulded, six by three and one
half Inches in size. The mould ivaa evi
dently clay, and the metal is by no means
pure. The coins were English and Span
ish, some gold and some silver. The ear
liest date decipherable was 180).
This proved that they were not Kidd’s
treasures, but Postmaster Wells still
maintains that the silver bricks are real
ly a part of the old pirate's booty. The
bricks were found in the same field as
the coins, but had evidently been burled
subsequently and separately and at a
different time. Fresh Pond Meadow is
being spaded over now, and the region
around Money Rock, the gigantic boul
der as big as a city building, is being
serachcd. Some folks think that if the
rook could be moved the Kidd treasure
would be found. All the farmers are
plowing and they keep their eyes on the
freshly turned earth. Not a man in all
the Hollow stubs his toe without turn
ing bark to see ifi he unearthed any mon
ey. Much searching is being done on the
quiet.

From the Newark Sunday Call.
It was like a letter from the dead—the
missive Frederick Reynolds received on
Wednesday. It is a strange story of a
letter written and sent years ago, but
which failed to reach Its destination.
Stores, plays and poems have been writ
ten on such an incident, which has al
ways been looked upon as an Impossi
bility.
Mr. Reynolds Is a colored man, and,
six years ago, he was ’'keeping com!
pany" with Mary Booker, who then lived
at Englewood. On Jan. 7, 1889, she wrote
him a letter and mailed It the same day.
He never received the letter until last
Wednesday. Unlike (he stories, plays and
poems, this missing letter did not cause
any breach between the two. They kept
up corresponding, and In 1891 thpy were
married. They lived happily together and
had two children. Two years ago Mrs.
Reynolds died.
On last Wednesday the widower was
very mush astonished to receive a let
ter In his dead wife's familiar handwrit
ing. It was, as he described it, an or
dinary love letter, containing sentiments
doubly dear to him now. He scrutinized
the envelope carefully, and saw that it
bore the Englowood postoffioe stamp ot
Jan. 7. 1889; also the New York postoffiee
stamp of the same day, with the time
stamp showing that it was received there
at 3 p. m. It next passed through the
Newark postoffioe all right, and was
stamped there: "Rec'd Newark. Jan. 7,
6 p. in., ’89." This shows that the letter
was given to a letter carrier to deliver.
On Wednesday morning this same letter
was found In one of the letter boxes. It
was taken to the postoffice, where the as
sorting clerk found that it had been open
ed. A stamp was affixed to it and In an
hour the letter that had been sent six
years ago was delivered to Mr. Reynolds.
At the posfffloce they cannot explain
failure of the missive to reach Its proper
destination, except by guessing that In
I*B9 the letter was delivered to its ad
dress at 851 Broad street and some person
other than Mr. Reynolds received It, op
ened it, and kept It until last Wednes
day. The envelope is stained and looks
as though it had been carried about for
a long time. When Mr. Reynolds re
ceived the letter he said: “It Is like a
letter ftom the dead."
