STOCKS AND BONDS.
Symptoms Back to Condition of
Lethargy and lagging.
New York, June 3*.—The stock market
showed symptoms during the early boura
•f the trading to-day of having fallen
Iwck Into the condition of lethargy and
sagging prtceg. which marked the trading
last week.
But the large outstanding abort account
showed Itself very sensitive to develop
ments In the wheat market. With the
continued fall in the price of that cereal
and reports of enormous quantities of
wheat thrown upon the market to liqui
date. the courage of the bears oozed out
at the Ups of their fingers, and they
scrambled to cover their short contracts
In the late dealings with considerable pre-'
ctpltancy. The rtault was a strong clos
ing at the top level, with the rally still
In force, and at a level of prices from 1
to 3 points over last night for many ac
tive ttoekg. .
The bears were In full retreat all
through the list, even Baltimore and Ohio
turning from Its persistent downward
course with a rally of 3 points from the
early decline. Sugar. Brooklyn Transit.
People’s Gas and American Tobacco all
made notable upward movements, the lat
ter apparently on a belated appreciation
of yesterday's dividend declaration.
While the break In the wheat market
was unquestionably the dominant Influ
ence, there were other points of strength
which radiated a favorable influence. The
Coalers advanced on the rise In the price
of anthracite. The Southwestern stocks
moved up In company with the more fav
orable prospects of the Texas cotton crop
compared with that In other cotton states
on the large winter wheat crop, and on
hop* of he corn crop. Estimate* by a
Western trade journal that the winter
wheat crop and the wheat reserves would
make ,p the deficiency In the shortage
In the spring wheat crop, had much to do
•with the day’s movement, both in wheat
and railroad stocks. It was made evident
that prices of stocks have not only kept
pace with the damage to wheat, but have
been discounting continued deterioration.
The rains In the Northwest caused a sharp
check to the speculation on this basis.
The Iron and steel stocks showed de
cided strength, and a marked disregard of
the rather pessimistic views expressed of
the trade outlook by the Iron Age. The
movement of price* In the steel group gave
a particular intimation that Increased de
mand 1* being met on the decline In prices.
Opinions are heard that any further re
actions tn prices will insure a violent
rebound when the consumers’ needs begin
to be felt, and orders ere placed, and
when the turn of prices has evidently been
made. Certainly tha course of steel stocks
to-day was In singular disregard ol the
current news of falling price*, and proba
ble difficulties ov*r the adjustment of
tvaga scales for the coming year.
The money market continued quite un
ruffled T'-e decline In exchange was
checked to-day with the sharp advance In
coll loan* in the London market, and the
marking up by %<t of the Bank of Eng
land’s price for gold, and for American
eagles. The decline in exchange is said
to have been ceu*ed by the coming upon
the market of long sterling bills, which
have been held fop maturity, and arc
now being told a* sight bills. As they had
figured meantime a* collateral for loan*,
their liquidation now Involves the paying
off loan*, and may thus help to account
for the current ease of the money market.
The bond market was not active, but
price* were firm. Tosday'a sales, par
value. si,Oi,onn.

EPITOME OF MARKETS.
Reasons for Anticipating a Big Yield
of Rice.
Advices from the South note free move
ment along the Atlantic coast; sellers
tractable and buyers evincing wll Ingness
to operate at current figures. While there
has been a change of late In the attitude
of factors and planters, the general mar
ket can hardly be called weaker. For some
week* there had been practically a siai and
still among first hands; everything held at
prohibitory price* which are now . being
modified and marked at the real and r.ot
fancied worth. Ini Louisiana markeis
are practically on a summer basis, hardly
enough retained for local use, he ice hold
ers are firm In their views. The growing
season Is well under way and, while Ind
cations point to a late harvest, there la
every prospecl of an abundant yield. Th
river crop, which suffered fiom low stag
of water, has been revived by timely
rains. The acreage along the Mlssissli p
ts larger than at any time during paxi
decade. In the southwestern part of the
state, excessive rains have Interfered
with the planting In certain localities, but
where conditions have been favorable
there has been a large increase In seed
ing, the successful season Just closed In
spiring every planter to cultivate In os
large a way as possible.
Cables and correspondence from abroad
note quiet condition*. The trade teem to
have adopted, the "hand to mouth” policy
buying for needs at current figures, with
little anticipation of wants ahead. The
statistical position grow* stronger* each
week. Talmage, New Orleans, telegraphs
Louisiana crop movement to date.: Re
celpts, rough, 920,675 sacks; last year 715,-
900 sacks. Sales, cleaned (est), 245,860 bar
rels; last year, 177,028 bairels. Market
strong, good demand; light offerings. Tal
mage, Charleston, telegraph* Carolina
crop movement to date; Receipts 61,025
barrels. Sales, 69,715 barrel* Market
quiet.
Report* from Florida are very reassur
log regarding the coming orange crop. It
is reported that fully 1,500,000 boxes will
ha harvested the coming stason, a condi
tion which will be v<ry gra lfylng to the
friends of the Florida orange—as well ax
to the owners who have previously lost
so much by freeze*.
Georgia watermelon growers were not
fully satisfied with their experience In
shipping melons on consignment last
year, and this year will sell almost ex
clusively f. o. b. The reason given is that
the market was so irregular last season
that great losses were incurred by breaks
owing to heavy supplies. This year they
pr. pose to have a fair price at shipping
point and let receivers stand the loss of
uncertain markets.

Ntrnngest of Lakes.
From the flan Francisco Examiner.
The result of a survey of Lake Chelan
In the northern part of the state of
Washington has been given out by Gen.
Merrlam, commander of this department.
He says tn his report:
’’The cliffs on each side of the bike were
most precipitous, towering up in many
places to a hight of 1,500 or 2,000 feet.
But It Is th* lake Itself that Is the great
est marvel. Its waters are clear and bbt*.
and hy actual soundings have been found
to be of an average depth of 3,009 feet.
This seems almost Incredible, but it Is
th* truth. The width of the lake varies
from mil* and a half to two ml!*.
hut the length ts 4he most remarkable
of all.
“When I pointed up toward what ap
peared to he the head of th* lake and
asked the Indians If the lake was not
about three miles long, they laughed and
• hook their heads. They mid It was a
three days' Journey for a foar-oered ca
noe. I determined o see for myself, so
th* next morning my engineer and I and
two Indiana started up the lske in the
larast canoe the native* possessed.
"It was Impossible to go on the lake
shore, as In most places the mountains
ran sheer down to th* water's edge. We
rowed along until we cam* to the north
ern confine of the Ink* and there we
found that It made a big bend to the
right and stretched on and on The next
day we started ou again, and on the
third day at nightfall, Just a* the In
dians had said, we reached the head of
the lake On the return trip we measur
ed th* distance and found the length to
be a fraction over sixty.five mile*.
"This curiously narrow and deep body
of water fra* cut right down through
the mountain* hy the glacier* of bygone
age*. At the foot of the lake Is a great
moraine.”
