STOCK LETTER.
New York June, 24 The market to
day received a shock in the announce
ment of the King's illness. Before the
stock market session got well under
way however cable reported announce
ment that the operation upon 'the King
had been successfully nerformed and
:there result was that prices as a rule
declined only fractionally in early
trading. Subsequently there was a dis
position to recover and the Gould
stocks displayed special strength. There
was more or less feverishness through
out the day .and London was moderate
seller in spite of more reassuring" report
regarding condition of King Edward.
In the last hour a general selling move
ment, set in which carried prices to
lowest of the day. The decline was in
spired by the reports that King Ed
ward was dead tout which report was
promptly denied and the market ral
lied somewhat. Net loses for the day
nevertheless were fairly important
especially in the international shares.

COTTON LETTER
New York, June 24. No littlp sur
prise was occasioned this morning
when the market for cotton rose 2 to 5
points and continued to advance until
10 points gain was shown. The early
prices from Liverpool were puzzling as
to prices but after their receipt came
news of the king's illness and indefi
nite postponement of the coronation.
This caused a temporary halt in the
eagerness of bulls to buy on the Texas
weather situation. No train was re
ported in that State early in the day
and moreover no rain was in sight
while there was expectation of a bull
ish weekly crop report from Washing
ton at noon. But regardless of all
other considerations the fact remains
that the month of June is drawing to a
close with a drought of severity in
some sections of the State and vthe sit
uation Is fast approaching a serious
one. Rains may yet help to make a
big crop tout the delay may reduce the
yield decidedly and this is borne in
mind. Shorts were covering and Liver
pool was buying here (but despite the
early gain the market was dull. The
weekly crop report from Washington
made no reference to the drought in
Texas and was on the whole favorable

were 6000 against 19,000 last year.

Churchill personally delivered to the
mansion house, the official residence
of the lord mayor, .a message regard
ing his majesty's illness, and at this
mornings rehearsal of the coronation
ceremony at Westminster abbey, the
bishop of London, Right Rev. A.P.In
gram, made a statement as follows:
"I have to make a very sad announce
ment. The king is Buffering from ill
ness which made an operation necessa
ry today. The coronation, therefore,
will be postponed."
The bishop requested the eongrega-
tion to join in the litany out of the
coronation service and pray for the re
covery of the klng
During the afternoon pari Marshall,
Duke of Norfolk, issued the following
notice: "Earl Marshall has received the
king's commands to express his majes
ty's deep sorrow that owing to his se
rious illness the coronation ceremony
must ibe postponed. The celebrations
in London in consequence, will ibe like
iwise postponed, but the king's earnest
hope is that the celebrations nn the
country shall be held as already ar
ranged." The king also expressed to the lord
mayor his desire that hie majesty's
dinner to the poor of London should
not be postponed. Nothing yet is de
cided regarding the movements of the
foreign guests.
The first intimation that Whitelaw
Redd had of anything wrong, was
obtained in a cornmunication cancel
ling the state bamquet which was to be
held In Buckingham palace.
New York, June 24. The disturbing
effect of the illness of the king of En
gland caused a downward swing to
prices at the opening of Wall Street, but
the decline did not exceed a point in the
leading stock.
London,. June 24, 2:46 p. m. The fol
lowing bulletin is posted at Bucking
ham palace: "The operation has been
successfully performed. The large ab
eess has been evacuated. The king has
borne the operation well and is in a sat
isfactory condition. "
It is understodd, however, that the
special ambassadors and royal gueste
will return to their respective coun
tries as soon as definite news is re
ceived of the result of the operation.
At the various palaces and hotels
where foreign representatives are stay
tag the news created the greatest dis
may. Royal carriages were already
drawn up in readiness to take the
guests to the reception at the palace,
but the moment the "tickers" announc
ed his majesty's illness, all prepara
tions ceased.
On the streets the change which
came over the crowds was most pro-'
noiifcced. Traffic seems paralyzed and
it was long before the full effect of the
startling intelligence was felt. The
streets, as the day wore on, became
more and more congested, and the hol
iday concentrated into groups reading
and rereading the extras. Most of the
people seemingly felt dazed and scarce
ly appreciated the full report of what
they read.
Work on 'the stands erected on all
sides to enable the people to view the
coronation procession was gradually
discontinued. The lord mayor has in
structed the workmen to demolish the
stands in front of the mansion house.
Those in Piccadilly will be taken down
tomorrow:
The king treated the idea of an oper.
atfom very lightly his great concern
being for the disappointment of the
people. "This, however," added theiof
ficer, "was entirely unavoidable, as
up to the last moment, the medical at
tendants confidently hoped that in any
case the patient would be able to get
through the more important of the
coronation ceremonies. Many of the
foreign representatives called at Buck
ingham palace this afternon to make
Inquiries about the king's condition.
London June 24, In the house of
commons, the government leader, Mr.
Balfour, announced that an. operation
had been performed on the king, and
that his majesty was progressing as
well as possible. Balfour added that
while the king's condition was un
doubtedly grave, he did not Intend to

New York. June 24. While running
J at high rate of speed a Myrtle avenue
trolley car in Brooklyn took fire, burn
ing the motorman and five passengers,
one probably fatally. Other passen
gers were badly injured, jumping to es
cape the ilames which swept the full
length of tlie car, being carried by the
wind. Those injured were:
Grace Von Birkland, 17 years of age,
burned about the face, arms and legs;
will die.
Oscar Von Birkland, Mrs. Grace Von
Birkland, Thomas Huff, motorman;
Philip Ross, Jr., and Frank Loretti,
all burned about face and hands.
The car was making a return trip
to the Breoklvn bridge from the Ridge
way picnic park. It was loaded to the
utmost limit, the conductor's register
showing 110 pasengers, when there
was a report that was heard three
blocks in all directions, and which al
most lifted the car from the track.
fuse had burned out, and a flame ira
mediately caught the woodwork and
also burst through the motor box. This
flame was carried up over the front
dashboard, and, being caught by the
draught, caused by the car's speed,
swept back, burning all who were un
able to throw themselves into the
street. The motorman, although much
injured, stuck bravely to his post and
applied the brakes, bringing the car to
a stop.
Miss Von Birkland received the full
force of the flames, and was uncon
scious when the car was brought to a
standstill. Her father and mother were
so badly burned that for a time It
was feared that they might not recov
er. The car was almost entirely destroyed.
