The stock market de veloped acute -weakness before the cloe today, offering a surprise to professional traders, who came, to Wall street this morning under the Impression that the market had been oersold and was -duo for a rally. This con lctlon was strengthened by the early course of the mar ket, which opened higher. In sympathy with London, where there was a better feeling on Account of lack of confirmation of some alarm ist rumors regarding conditions In China. The buying of tho Reading stocks and of New Jersey Central, which made such an Impres sion on sentiment yesterday, was still in evi dence, and during the course of the first hour some of the railroads had advanced as much as 1 to IH points above last night. The steel stocks had rallied from an opening depression, and were bought on the more cheerful views of the outlook for the Iron mar ket, and the local traction stocks rallied on covering of short contracts. The decision of the International bankers not to ship gold on tomorrow's steamer, the fall In exchange rates having wiped out the profit on the operation, was a stimulating factor. During the course of the first hour. howeer, large offerings be gan to appear In Northern Pacific, coupled with renewed reports of the disastrous condition In the Spring-wheat region. The coalers and trunk lines made some resistance to the de clining tendency of the market, but they proved unavailing as a sustaining force, and weak lg$ppead through the graln-carrj lng roads ana the Industrials. Stocks of Industrial cor ppraflons, and especially of the controlling pub lic utilities In cities, all showed acute weak ness. The pressure against Brooklyn Rapid Transit became very severe as the day ad vanced.' and that stock at the lowest was 7h points below the early point, and thetaet de cline was. S?i. Tho unfriendly attitude of the public towards this class of corporations was an influence in their weakness, but there vras FINANCIAL NEWS" liquidation from some special source In Brook lyn Transit. Some stocks offered today were said to be by tho banks, which had held them as collateral for the loans of a large stock ex change firm which recently Tailed. The- professional- bears were also effective In offering down prices, but they met with great success In dislodging stop-loss orders. The rally in prices wa fitful and feverish, and the market closed unsettled and not much. atxne the low level. The banks were reported to be calling loans to a considerable extent, presumably in preparation: for the payments into the Subtreasury on Monday of the Gov ernment deposits, which have been called to the extent of $3,000,000. The estimates of the week's cash changes Indicate a gain by the banks of considerably over $1,000,000. The payments which the banks had to make to the Subtreasury for tho gold-bar exports wero offset by the settlement of that Institution to the market. The -currency movement with the Interior continued largely in favor of New York. The rate for call money at the stock exchange Is not an accurate, index of money conditions, as the large borrowing demand for stocks for de livery by the short interest serves to keep down the rate for call leans. Part of the selling ot stocks is undoubt edly for the purpose of realizing funds to di vert to wheat and cotton speculation. The de cline in sterling exchange, which caused th abandonment of the expected exports ot gold tomorrow. Is due to the Increasing demand for money In New York. Today's bond market was dull, and the mo ement of prices was irregular. Total salesj par axie. $1,1S0.000. United States bonds wera unchanged in bid quotations. BONUS. U. S. 2s. rcf. reg..l02D. & R.

The speculators bad to swkllow long wheat. In .heavy chunks through out the session, and at times July dipped by yesterday's figures. The Northwest Spring wheat conditions was still the great bull stronghold, and dispensed news of a pessimis tic nature. Trade was active, not to say ex cited, and the market was ratber feverish. A feeling that the Northwest shortage, grave, as It may ultimately provo to be. has been dis counted, was prevalent among many traders. The heavy profit-taking did not tend to change this opinion. In other words. It was held by many that the price had adrar-ced sufficiently to allow today's news, which was the most unfavorable yet announced, to be Ignored. Hot weather and a clear sky went generally re ported from the Dakota. Minnesota and Man itoba. Their crop possibilities were generally reported two-thirds ruined, ami the condition called a veritable disaster. Statistician Snow, ot the Board of Trade, Just back from a thorough Investigation of tho situation. Is reported to have declared that the Dakotas would not alie- over 40.000,000 bushels, while others said tho Northwestern states. together with Manitoba, would not pro duce over 60,000.000 bushels thlr season. July opened lUSlc over yesterday, at 83Kc to S3?sc and shortly afterward sold at S2V&C. The opening bulge was under the Influence ot news of the character herclnbtore mentioned, and the slump was on profit-taking by longs. The Northwest was still a buyer, but follow ing the opening the market fluctuated, as tho pressure from tho longs was heavy or merely easy. July, following this dip. rallied to S3H &3V4c, whereupon the longs went after moro profits, and sent It back to S2Hc Again there was a rally, July this time touching S3c, and most of it was hold. The market was pressed back to S2T4C, but firmly resisted, and closed He over yesterday, at 83H& The Modern Miller reports harvesting of Winter wheat progressing favorably.

"A cat may look at a king." saya tho old proverb, but there are nwi of less L thtn royal rank who object lo belnfr looftc-l at by a cat. Lord Roberts is one of them. He did not in India ra'tar when called upon to penetrate tho Junule lair ot lhat terrific of feline beasts, the 4iser; but fie hates cats. He- may not be afraid of pussy. but he avoids her. ' JJke other people -with special antipa- v thles. he is peculiarly sensitive to the presence of the hated object. . One -evening-when he .had gone out to dine he had ucarcely greeted his hostess before he ashed: "Will you please send away the cat?" "There Is no cat hero," the -woman as sured him. "We do not keep cats." But he knew better, and was so -manifestly convinced that a search was insti tuted and an intruding tabby was route'd out from beneath a piece of f umitUTe' and lgcomlniously expelled.
