MCADIE, Local Forecast Official. NEW YORK MARKETS. Financial. NEW YOR' Y., June 15,—A more hopeful feeling prevailed in stock circles to-day and the mariet broadened considerably. There was good buying for both home and foreign account, and in the Jute trading the shorts, who had been fighting the rise all day long, fell into line. London buying cot a figure in the dealings and the orders em- braced & wider range than of late. Total sales footed up 226,600 shares. The underlying cause for the Increased activity ana the improvement in prices right through the list was the impression fterwerd confirmed by Senator Lodge that the St Louis: Convention would put a gold plank in the platform. The gain In prices was equal to 1:@3% .per cent and was well distributed. A feature of the trading was the absorp ion of high-priced stocks: and the ense with which these stocks moved up on light offerings, Lackawanns rising to 164.

The desired encouragement not being in evidence this morning, all the wheat so held came on the market to the disadvantage of values. Heavy world’s shipments were estimated, the authentic amount, with Russia missing, being 4,322,000 bushels. That country was unofiicially reported to have shipped 4,000,000 bushels. The visible supply was a disappointment of the great- est kind to holders, showing as it did a decrease of but 661,010 bushels where 2,000,000 reduction was expected. The Amount on ocean passage in- creased 1,600,000 bushels. Liverpool cabies were 34d lower. Receipts in the Northwest were heavy at 516 cars, against 545 1ast Monday and 235 a year ago. Chicago re ceived fourteen cars and inspected out 62,000 bushels. Closing Continental cables were generally lower. The English visibie supply mcreased 400, 000 bushels. Export clearances were light at 194, 400 bushels. The market recovered during the latter portion of the session meinly on covering by heavy short-sellers. July wheat opened from 561 @56¢, sold betweon 553,@5654¢ and 573/c, clos- ingat 5654c, 35c under Naturday. Estimated re- ceipts for 10-morrow, 35 cars. CORN—The inclination of corn was the same as that of wheat, both through sympathy and by reason of the statistical news. Receipts were heavy at 420 cars and the output small at 71,800 bushels, Liverpool cables were 14d lower. The ible supply showed but a moderate decrease, 46 1,000 bushels, and the amount on ocean passage increased 320.000 bushels. The close was steady, with September unchanged from Sa‘urday. That option opened at 2834c, advanced to 29c, ciosing at 28%c. Estimated receipts for to-morrow 525 cars. OATS—Trading in oats was but moderate, and the feeling was weak in sympathy with the lead- ing grains. Receipis were 288 cars, and 140,900 busnels were taken from store. The visible sup- ply increased 115,500 bushels. Export clear- ances amounted to 59,600 bushels. July oats closed 1gc under Saturday. Estimated receipts for to-morrow 350 cars. FLAX—Was easy. Cash, 8lc: July, 80c, nomi- nal: September, 82¢. R-ceipts 19 cars. PROVISIONS—A small unimportant and unin- teresting business was transacted In product. Under big recelpts of hogs the market at the yards was lower, and reflecting the tone at that place proiuct opened weak. A falr amount of buying of & promiscuons sort served to steady thefeeling a little, however, and no serious break occurred. July pork closed 5c lower, July lard a shade lower and July ribs 2%4@5c lower. TER—Quiet. _Creameries—Extra. 1414c. tra, 12c. Ladle—Extra, 10@12c. iasy at 9@914¢. —Was 5@vx on call and time loans.

The week opened firm but quiet yesterday, and on fthe morning session prices were somewhat higher than on Saturday, but they fell back on the afternoon call. There was no informal session at noon owing to the deatlt of O. W. Marye, the broxer. The close was lower and dull. The Consolidated Golden Gate Sulphuret Mining and Development Company has declared a divi- dend of 15 cents per ‘share, payable on the Sth. This is the fifth dividend. The Silver King assessment will become delin- quent in the oftice to-day. At the annual meeting of the Bodie Consolidated Mining Company vesterday an entire new board of directors and officers was elected without opposi- tion. By & vote of 64,777 shares George C. Hickox, Charles E. Paxton, S. L. Ackerman, M. A. Jack- son, E. Durbrow, A. Hermsn and S. Scheeline were chosen directors, with George C. Hickox as president, Charles E. Paxton as vice-president, George R. Spinney as secretary, and J. F. Parr ag superintendent. The office will be removed to 310 Pine street. A resolution was passed suthorizing the new directors to compromise the legal differ- ences with the Standard Consolidated Mining Compauy. ‘The weekly letters from the Comstock this week are unimportant, none of them showing any de- velopments of interest.

Tlltxiln is carried on in these islands to an al extent, and it is the practice to tattoo on the hand of a mother the date of her children’s births. Some- times, also, an enthusiastic father will tat-, too the date of the birth on the child itself, and no matter how long it lives, the certifi- cate will remain easily decipherable. In some ad joining islands every child is tat- tooed, almost from nead to foot, upon its very remarkable, especially if the child i growing rapidly, so that the spaces be- tween the tattoo marks increase in size year by year.—New York Mercury. HE SAVED THE SUGAR. A Traveling Man’s Experience in a Kansas Rural District. The traveling man who always “Sun- days” in Kansas City when in the vicinity, because his best firl lives there, was in & cheerful frame of mind and tola all the stories he knew. One of them is, perhaps, worthy of record: “Last Wednesday,” said he, I wasina little town down in Kansas. I took lunch at the only restaurant in the town. I or- dered a dish of strawberries and the waiter brought me a heaping plate of them. Fine berries they were, too. I was sur- prised at the liberal quantity served and Foerit) ‘Cheapest thing we've got,’ said the waiter, “When I got ready to eat them, Ilooked around for the powdered sugar. The waiter came to me and said: ‘Want powdered sugar?’ I said I did, and he wentaway and came back with a little powder gun, such as they fireinsect powder out of, from which he squirted sugar over and into the berries. 5 ¢ ‘Powdered sugar's mighty high,’ said he, ‘an’ berries be mighty cheap. en- erally sugar the berries ourselves when they ask for sugar.” ““‘That’s a new one on me,’ says L. “ *Well, the boss is mighty close,’ says the waiter, ‘an’ has got to cut corners to make a livin’. Some hogs used ter come in here and put two spoonfuls of sugar on a plate of berries, an’ so he thinks up this scheme.” ™" The powder gun has its advantages when one powders on_the economical Kansan’s device, because it squirts the sugar into the crevices and puts some sugar on every berry instead of all the sugar on the top berries.—Kansas City Times. ———— THE CALL CALENDAR., JuNE. 1896.
