California peaches are lower, some very good stock selling yes terday at 00c for large boxes. Apricots are weaker, at 75c per crate. A carload of ba nanas came in yesterday, some of them over ripe, and the demand was not as good as it might have been earlier In the season. Beet Burbank potatoes are firmer, and some choice stock sold $ "0c yesterday. Ordinary stock, however.

Absolute stagnation characterized the stock market today. By comparison with yesterday, the tone was firm. but that was only because the bears some what overextended their commitments on the short side yesterday. It was evident that the late selling yesterday was based on the ex pectation that selling by London this morning would offer an opportunity to get back stocks at a lower level. London did. In fact, sell stocks here on a moderate scale, but the de mand of the shorts was sufficient to overcome the decline, and to make some show of strength in the market. The bulls attempted to stim ulate the movement by bidding up coalers on talk of further comprehensive traffic agree ments. This maneuver proved Ineffective and the market relapsed to about last night's level and never got away from It again in either di rection. Air Brake was rushed up 24 points on talk or absorption by the Westlnghouse Company. It saved a 5-potnt net gain. In Sugar there was a demand from an un easy Abort interest, which had been over extended durlnn th decline of the last few days, and the stock gained over a point net. The loaning rates on stocks disclosed the exist ence o'f quite a larire outstanding short Interest, well distributed through the list. In the en tire lack of animation In speculative specialties the professional traders are disinclined to far ther commitments on the short side. There w'ai A6 effort "to ell through commission bouses, which was called outside liquidation yesterday. These facts, taken In themselves, indicate declining values for securities, but these Incidentals had been anticipated, and' therefore the movement of prices was dis counted. The Iron stocks were rather firm on the sup position that the cut in prices has brought a step nearer the resumption of the expected buying demand. Many alarmist reports were current concerning the Northwest wheat crop. The continued heaviness of foreign stock mar kets, on account of the complications in China, had a sympathetic effect here. The selling of stocks for London was sufficient to causa & fractional advance In cable transfers an Lon don. The weekly statements of the foreign government banks disclosed a conservative policy still In force. The Bank of England returns show only 600.000 in loans repaid to the bank. In spite of the disbursement of Government deposits to amount of over $8,000,000. and a prevailing private rate of discount -well below the bank rate. As the bank Is rtlll losing gold for ex port, the governors refrained from reducing the rate of discount. The Bank of France has resumed its policy of both note and loan contraction, which was interrupted lat week, and in spite of a gain in gold of $2,720,000, t has decreased its .note circulation over $25, 00O.000. and contracted Its outstanding loans over $43,000,000. In Berlin there were forced sales of mining shares, and a reflection of the same policy of retrenchment. In New York, on the contrao, money continued In very light demand and in creased supply. The bond market was quiet and irregular. Total aales. par value. $1,780,000 All United States Issues idecllned In the bid price, ex cept the 2s. BONDS. TJ.

The dullness of months was broken In the wheat pit. and the space allotted to dealers in that cereal was jammed with an excited crowd, which all at once seemed to recognize that the crop in the North w est was in imminent danger of failure. July opened at 68c to GSVic a shade changed from last night's close. When It began climbing traders were filled with items from all over the Northwest. Some sa4 the crop was al ready seriously damaged, otners that unless rain in plenty came the crop would be a fail ure, and on top of all this the weather bureau prophesied fair and cool weather. Recently these reports have been taken Trith a grain of salt, and the crowd generally contented Itself with playing safe, an operation- which resulted In some veo stagnant sessions. Today the Northwest made clamorous bids, and others, in a sort of a panic followed. In two hours from the opening July advanced to 70c Then profit-taking sent July back to C9c A huge amount of buying had already been done on the advance, and the dip was the signal for more of It. Under this pressure fronr buyers July rallied, and dofed 12c Im proved, at C970c Liverpool wan 31d high er, and Indiana. Illinois, Ohio -and Michigan, sent in their usual reports of bad condition of, the crop, but those items were quite over tasked in the rush from Northwestern points. The rumor that war had broken -out between Russia and Japan was of some help near the, close. Corn was neglected for wheat. When the advance In the latter began the corn pit be came almost deserted. The market was In clined to be heavy on the favorable crop news and freer country offerings, but the exceptional wheat strength held the market up. July at the close -was V,c Improved, at 3Sc Oats were held steady by the strength of wheat July closed H5?c better, atr21j;c The provision market was rather quiet but firm early, but became active and strong to-? ward the end. closing sharply higher.

"WASHINGTON, June .3.. Representative Jones, ot "Washington, has received a let ter from ono of his correspondents, a. real dent of "Washington, hut now a Corporal with one of the regiments at San Juan. This letter will prove very interesting reading, bearing' out as.lt does several ot- the points made by Mr. Jones in his speech on conditions In Porto Rico, made In the House some time ago. This cor respondent, nho has been In Porto Rico only a short time, states In his letter that the principal English printed news paper of the island Lb the San Juan News, which has an extensive circulation and, much Influence. - This paper, says the letter, "js, dally calling for free trade, and says of the bill that it Is an excellent measure but does- not go far enouyh. I do -not know the views of any prominent business men at present -writing, but will to to obtain them. I was here before the Inaugural nearly a month, and from outride appear ances I cannot notice any change in the people or their affairs. Neither haB the tariff bill caused any change that is no ticeable to me, but no doubt I would notice It "were -I In close touch with the business world. 'Before I Jame here I read a largo number of scaro heads In the newspapers of the critical condition of affairs' Jn Porto KIco, and expected to aee great excite ment, but I 'found- things very quiet ln-deed--no excitement whatever. I believe that DO per cent of the Porto Ricans do not Interest themselves enough to bother whether the tariff 1s13 per cent or treble that much, as fully that number In this vicinity are jioor, ignorant, unhealthy, and, of course, constitutionally opposed to labor, and their universal "motto Is to get all possible from the United States and never be satisfied.

EXCUR Steamship Co. ; the millions already circulated here by our country I venture to say that not one in ten of the natives would give us credit for it. Government wagons you meet everywhere, loaded with everything Imaginable, going to all parto of the island, but loaded wagons of tho natives Is a rarity. I am confident that these people have more money now than they ever have had, as, from what I can gather from numerous sources, the ma jority of the- people have always been ex isting 'In a miserable state. You know thai" a large percentage of the natives are jet black, kinky-haired negroes and half breeds. The color line Is not drawn, here, ""What the island .wants Is capital "thor oughly to work these plantations and open up the Island toy electric roads. As there are some advocates of Government owner ship of railroads and other large enter prises, I would suggest that the system be tried here. "Since I have been here I have traveled out on every road for probably 15 miles, and was greatly surprised to see that no land Is "being cultivated for this year that 1$, being plowed and it looked as though it had not been for years. "What Httlo 1 did see had been done by hand, and I have not seen a horse or plow since my advent on the Island. The land Is wonderfullly fertile. "I read extracts of the tariff rates in the San Juan News, and I find that the necessities are not taxed nor anything e2ae that would tend to develop the Island In any way. It Is practically free- trade, but, as I have said, the Porto Rican will always have a kick In stock. From' a general observation there appears ta be a large number of office-holders here, and tho fact that they axe principally Americans would probably cause a good natives to think, were their salaries, etc, charged up against the revenues of the island."
