Confidence in Soundness of the Mar ket More General Than for Many Weeks. NEW YORK, May 6. The stock market made a remarkable showing of recuperative power today. Yesterday's nervous disturbance, growing out of the collapse of the Webb-Meyer group of stocks was freely lacking from tho cutset today- That development. In fact, semed to be accepted as highly beneficial. Immense relief was profe6ed over the weed-ing-out which had been accomplished of an inflated group of securities, whose precarious condition must have remained a menace to the market, as long as it existed. The collapse of an inflation is always a hazardous operation, Jn consequence of the danger of sentimental effect, however strictly localized. The effect is inevitable to shake the fabric of credit and endanger sound properties as well as the products of manipulation. The firmness with "which the market t ok the shock was a sur prise to the morc confident observers. The effect was manifest in the opening dealings, "where large buying orders appeared well dis tributd throughout the list. After yesterday's test confidence has not been so general In the soundness of the market position for many weeks as it was today. aioney Rate Continues Stiff. The money rate continued stiff at 10 per cent, at which rate large sums were lent by the banks, and the rate receded only after most of the demand was satisfied. The maintenance of the money rate, however, was believed to be a symptom of the pressure exercised by the banks against extending credits for undesir able speculative purposes. The belief is gen eral that the recent liquidation has greatly strengthened the position of the banks and has added much to the soundness of the whole fabric of credits. Today's clearlng-houso ex changes were reported as $500,430,954. Only on four previous occasions, all of them during 1001, have the New York exchanges exceeded half a billion dollars for a single day. No large syndicate transactions are known to have figured In the result, which may be taken, therefore, as a measure of the amount of liquidation accomplished on Friday and Saturday In the stock market. The transfer of $400,000 by telegraph to New Orleans was an incident of the day. Non-Strike Assurance Helps Coalers. Aside from the natural revulsion of sentiment due to the appreciation that yesterday's anxiety was unduly acute, assurance was felt in the financial district that means had been found to avoid a strike by the anthracite miners. The coalers were naturally prominent In tho vigorous upward movement. The move ment In Louisville & Nashville. Chicago, In dianapolis & Louisville, and Illinois Central gave color to the rumors of the extension of the Louisville to Chicago, and the establish ment of a commercial unity among the South ern trunk lines. An unusually favorable batch of fourth-week railroad earnings reported by Southern and Southwestern railroads and fur ther rains in the Southwestern States stim ulated the report. Opinion of Ansvrer to Merger. The answer filed by the Northern Secur ities Company to the Government's brief was favorably regarded In "Wall street as an argu ment from the financial side of the device of securities holdings companies, and prompted some buying of stocks available for mergers. This was notably the case with the Chi cago Great "Western stock. The strength of the market, however, was quite universal, and gains of as much as one to three points are common throughout the list. The market closed, active and strong at about the top. The bond market shared In the tendency to wards recovery of stocks. Total sales. $3,303, 000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last calL There was little tradlns done In the so called Webb-Meyer curb stocks. Regarding tho affairs of the Hackensack Meadows Company, the company" s controller, Maurice L. Muhle man said today; "The mortgage on the prop erty runs for 20 years. It amounts to $1,000, 000, and there is no irregularity about it. The company has no liabilities, except small sums for current expenses and the payroll of the men now at work developing tho property. The only payment of any size this company Jwlll have to make In the near future Is that of $30,000 Interest on the mortgage, due July aa. WITH THE SUSPENDED FIRMS. Petition to Have Offenbach fc Moore Declared Involuntary Bankrupts. NEW YORK, May 0. Much Interest was manifested today in Wall street In the prog ress of the houses which suspended yester day, and whose statements were not very clear. The assignees are at work on the books of Henry Bros. & Co., and Lockwood. Hurd & Co, Both say they are unable to give even an approximate estimate of liabilities and assets. It was intimated that assistance would come to both of these concerns, but Just how or when was not made v clear. T. Perrlne, assignee for Lockwood. Hurd & Co., was ouoted as savins: that the flrm'n llnhinno. k -s were not In excess of $300,000. Lockwood, Hurd & Co. held at the time of their sus pension about $400,000 of Webb-Meyer stocks. ueiupr mese wm D6 taxen over by their promoters could not be learned. J. Adrlance Busch. aslgnee for Henry Bros. & Co., expects to file a schedule of liabilities and assets shortly. This firm's resumption of business Is largely contingent upon assistance they may receive from Dr. Webb and Mr. Meyer. Henry Bros. & Co. hold at this time about the same amount of Webb-Meyer securities as are held by Lockwood. Hurd & Co. The offices of Offenbach & Mooro, tho direct stock exchange representatives of Arthur L. Meyer and his associates, were open for a brief time during the day. It is perhaps sig nificant that Offenbach & .Moore, while In solvent irom uie stock exchange point of vview. have not yet regularly assigned or failed, as is the case with the other firms whose suspension was announced yesterday. This is regarded as an indication that the fir mis making strenuous efforts to keep out of the bankruptcy courts. A petition to have Offenbach & Moore adjudged Involuntary bankrupts was filed In the United States Cir cuit Court today with claims from three in dividuals aggregating about $4500 for moneys lent. The allegation Is made that the firm, while insolvent, disbursed to certain pre ferred creditors the sum of $5000. The ap pointment of a receiver Is asked "by counsel for the plaintiff. The general situation was somewhat con fused at the opening of the market, when an nouncement was made that J. W. Davis & Co. had withdrawn their agreement to pur chase al lof a certain block of Rutland Rail road preferred at 108. As a matter of fact, the firm had not withdrawn from Its agree ment, but. according to the statement of its representatives had received " a certain amount of stock at 108 from certain parties." These instructions have been carried out, it was said, and the incident, so far as Davis & Co. were concerned, was closed. FOREIGN FINANCIAL NEWS. Stocks Idle nt London Pending Defi nite Pence News. NEW YORK, May C.-The Commercial Ad vertiser's London financial cablegram says: Stocks were Idle and cheerful, pending some definite news about peace. Consols rose to 85, and tho new Indian loan was at 2U premi um. Copper "R as up, to 53 a ton on Paris buying, and Bio Tintos were up . to 42. American stocks have been the feature. At first the local business was very restricted, with prices simply firm, but In the afternoon New York started a strong upward sweep with the coalers leading. Private cables say that the strike in the mining region Is likely to be averted. Reading was strong on rumors that the company has arranged terms with its i employes. Louisville & Nashville is blazing the IA trnv on talk of vlnr nut rn n a .- .. dividend bails In July, and Union Pacific Is talked to 150 on the expectation of a similar dividend action.

WASHINGTON, May 6. The Weather Bu reau's weekly summary of crop conditions today says: "Nearly the entire country east of the Rocky Mountains has experienced a week of highly favorable temperature conditions, and the central valleys. Lake region. Middle At lantic States, and portions of Texas and Ok lahoma have received generally ample, but In places, unevenly distributed, rainfall. The Mid dle and South Rocky Mountain regions contlnuo to suffer from severe drouth with disastrous effects to crops and livestock. Over the western portion of the plateau region, and on the Pacific Coast, the week has been decidedly cool, with heavy frosts In tho plateau dis tricts Dry and warm weather is much needed in Washington and Oregon. "A very general improvement In the con dition of Winter Wheat Is reported from the Central valleys, Lake region and Middle At lantic States. The crop, however, has suf fered in portions of Nebraska, Kansas and Texas, and In the last named state has failed so rapidly In sections that some will be plowed up for other crops. Favorable re ports continue from California, except in the southern part of the state- In Oregon and Washington, the crop, though late. Is In prom ising condition, especially In Oregon. Spring wheat seeding has been delayed in North Da kota and Northern Minnesota, but has mode favorable progress In the Southern portion of the Spring wheat region. "The prospect for peaches in the Ohio Val ley is not promising, but elsewhere the out look Is very favorable. The reports respecting other fruits are generally encouraging." GRAIN 3IARKETS. Weather Scare Helps to Carry Wheat Up a Trifle at Chicago. CHICAGO. May 6.-TTade in wheat was largely the kind of an affair that might be ex pected after the considerable slump on the burial of the drouth scare. The natural in clination was to figure on a reaction, and when cables showed no response to our slump, but rather improved, and receipts showed a marked falling off, prices opened somewhat higher. The big influence, however, was a new weather scare In the news of delayed Spring seeding in the Northwest beeau5f the excessive rains. The ground In the North west Is reported to be a veritable pond with the rains still falling. The bulls seized on this argument to emphasize the probability of a great decrease in the Spring wheat acre age. Northwestern receipts were very small, and the outside markets showed good strength. Additional bullish Incentives were Brad street's report of a decrease of 6,074,000 bush els in the world's available supply, and tho decrease of 2.400,000 bushels in the European visible. The cash situation here Improved when prices broke yesterday, and local sample men reported eight loads taken here for di rect shipment to Europe. These Jfactors in fluenced holders of wheat to retain their own Ings. There was practically no pressure to sell stuff at any time, either for short ac counts or for liquidation. Trade in general, however, was rather quiet without prominent features. Bulls were cautious. July started hiOMc to a shade up, at 7575c, advanced to 7575c. and closed firm, c higher, at 75C?75c The copious rains which have been so much needed In the Southwest had been largely discounted yesterday, and their bearish aspect was offset today by the num ber of bullish Influences. Corn showed market strength In the face of bearish news. Firmer cables started the early upturn, and wheat strength added to the pit situation. One cause of an absence of sell ing pressure was that yesterday's break shook out most of the available stuff, and deterred any response to today's bearish news. July closed strong, llc up, at Clc Good business In cash oats and sympathy with the advance In corn and wheat resulted In only a fair trade In oats.

CROP PROSPECTS GOOD. Weather Bureau Returns Show Fa vorable Conditions. The following summary of crop condi tions was yesterday Issued by the United States "Weather Bureau: With the exception of last' Sunday, which was mild and sunshiny, the weath er of the week has been generally cloudy, with frequent ohowere, and alto gether too cool for rapid growth. There were several, mornings with light frosts, but as far as known they have done no damage of consequence. The soil In the wheat sections In the eastern part of the State is wet to a good depth, and all that Is now needed Is warm weather to bring vegetation forward rapidly. The maximum, or day temperatures In Western Oregon ranged between 43 and 74 degrees, and tho minimum, or night temperatures between 26 and 51 degrees. In Eastern Oregon the maximum temper atures ranged between 42 and 68 degrees, and the minimum temperatures between S2 and 42 degrees. Farm work generally has been greatly retarded on account of the wet weather, and Spring seeding In the Willamette Valley is not yet finished. In Eastern Oregon the soil Is In excellent condition for plowing, and good advancement has been made in Summer fallowing. Wheat, although backward. Is very promising, except In portions of tho Wil lamette Valley, where it Is becoming yel low on account -6f the lack of sunshine. Spring wheat also Is unusually slow in germinating, but with the ample, moist ure now in the soil a few days of warm. sunshiny weather is all that Is needed to bring the grain crop out In excellent condition. Feed on the ranges- Is splendid and stock In all parts of the State Is doing nicely. In the plateau region the in crease In lambs has been the heaviest In years. Sheep-sftoaring Is progressing slow er than usual on account of the cool weather. The clip Is reported to be good. Hops, although slow In starting, are coming up well, and In the southern portion of the State the work of trimming the vines Is general. Corn planting Is now in active progress in Southern Oregon, and in tho western sections of the Stato the planting of lata potatoes has begun. The fruit outlook on the whole Is re ported to be very favorable. A great deal of anxiety has occurred for fear that the cold weather would interfere with perfect pollenlzation and a number of orchardlsts report that early cherries and early prunes, especially In Clackamas County, have been badly damaged. Straw berries arid apple trees are now generally -In bloom In the Willamette and Hood Blver Valleys and In Southern Oregon. Cnstosa-HeHsc Reform. NEW YORK, May 6. Collector of Cus toms Stranahan, in an address to the en tire force of customs inspectors, -who as- sembled at the barge office to meet him, has told the inspectors that trans-Atlantic voyagers must in future be treated with more consideration. Difficulties in passing baggage, which have exasperated persons on incoming vessels, are, he said, to be done away with, and new regula tions soon will be promulgated which will minimize all of the evils which have aroused complaint; The Collector reminded the men who met steamships and searched baggage on piers that they are servants of the public, and urged them to perform their duties In such manner as to meet public approval. Irishman on the Stage. NEW YORK, May 6. James P. Bree, National secretary of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, has confirmed, according to a dispatch to the World from New Haven, Conn., the reports that an organ ized effort Is being made by Irish so cieties to discountenance caricatures of the Irish race on the stage and In the papers. Said Mr. Bree: "The agitation is more for tho educa tion of the people than a movement against theatrical managers, actors and publishers. We realize the fact that the atrical managers strive to give the people what they want, and that these carica tures of the race would not be presented did not the people applaud 'them. We must not be considered over-aensltlve In the matter. What we object to Is such characterizations as exploit the worst features of the race and make capital ot the fallings of human nature, and ascribe them wholly to a type of Irishmen which does not exist. "An Irishman can stand a Joke Just as well as a man of any other race, but he docs not enjoy jokes that belittle him. This habit of caricature extends to other nationalities and Is calculated to bring them In an unfavorable light before the rising generation." BUSINESS ITEMS. , If nlr Is Cuttlns: Teeth.
