Sugar asserted its leadership of the market quite emphati cally today and the tone of the market was most wholly dependent upon develop ments in it. The obvious fact that there was selling to take profits on sugar was the potent influence in-causing realizing sales .in otner stocks. The consequence is an average loss for the day in the prices of stocks. There was vigorous manipulation in Sugar to hold it at the nigh level and even to raise that level on the strength of benefits to accrue to the company from the sugar schedule adopted by the senate. But those who have benefitted by the week's rise in Sugar argue that the present prices rep resents the value to the stock from the senate's action and that the next in fluence to be taken account of is the conference committee of the two houses. As the action of this committee will in all likelihood be less favorable rather than more favorable to the refined sugar in dustry than is the senate schedule. traders were inclined to discount a future fall in the price. There was some realiz ing in Sugar in accordance with this view, in addition to realizing sales, which com bined to carry the price down nearly 2 points from the highest. The dealings in the stocks represented one-fifth of the total transactions. The fall in Sugar car ried down prices throughout the list and practically obliterated early gains except m a few instances. The coal stocks were quite notably strong, in the arly dealings it is a noteworthy fact that these stocks make up the only group in which there is any short Interest left after the recent continuous advance of prices. This fact had no small part in today's strength in the stocks, but did not save them from feeling the effects of the late selling movement, but not to a sufficient extent to wipe out the early gain. The week lust closed is the third show ing continued aggressive strength in the stock market. The market has been sus tained all week by the aggressive strength of Sugar, growing out of the agreement of the caucus of senate repub licans upon a sugar schedule which is viewed with approval by the friends of the Sugar Company. This being the case, it was natural that the whole market should give way to agree under the break in Sugar today on realizing sales. But the weak nevertheless represents, as a whole, another step forward In the prog ress toward a higher . range of values which has been going on ever since the senate took up the tariff bill and demon strated that it could dispose of it with reasonable promptitude. This, with . the decision of the supreme court against the right of the inter-state commerce com mission to hx the railroad rates gave distinct impetus to the market which has endured ever since. A most striking feature of the week's market has been the comnarative inactivitv. but firmness. of the Granger stocks, which strongly led the early improvement. .They have halted during the past week while other groups in the market were taken in hand and brought up to their level. Professional traders have wroueht this result larerelv by the selling of grangers to take pro fits and putting the proceeds into other stocks preparatory to a bull movement in them. The net changes in the grangers have been trivial, part showing gains and part losses. "The declaration of the usual quarterly dividend . on Western Union ot 1 per cent." solved a long standing 'doubt in Wall street, and this, together with the favorable quarterly statement of the com pany and the increased earnings of Man hattan served to take these favorites of the bears out of their hands and then drive them to cover. " . ; Quite a feature in the market all week has been the aggressive strength shown by the low priced shares, especially those of re-organized companies, the preferred stocks leading. Total sales of stocks were 110,751 shares, including the following Sugar 21,300, Burlington and Quincy 5,800, Northern Pacific, preferred, 6,000, Western Union 5,200, New Jersey Central 6,200. The bond market displayed a very strong tone during the week, with the dealings in considerable volume. The market was governed to a considerable extent by the developments operating to enhance share values. Purchases by lead ing interests immediately imparted de cided Impetus to the general tendency, with the inquiry for the liens of re-or- ganized properties very brisk. Transac tions for continental account were in large volume and included purehasees of the more prominent international mort gages. Some of the middle grade bonds were marketed, but the offerings were readily absorbed and a more general dis position was evident to carry lines of the low priced speculative issues. The usually inactive securities Were conspicuous in the speculative list and sustained material im provements generally. The gilt edged bonds commanded fair attention but the variations were rather harrow. - - The Chicago Markets. i Chicago June 12. Wheat today recover ed the great part of yesterday's decline, closing at about a c advance.

All are familiar with the close relation supposed to exist betweeen great wits and madness, and many hold that genius is but a form of insanity, sanctified because it benefits the race. Anything is better than monotony, as the man said when half his hair turned green. The dull aver age individual goes to form a 'useful back ground, but the bold outline and delicate light and shade come from the eccentrics. One likes variety even in tombstones, and the world would be unendurable if we were all painted alike and stuck in a row like a picket fence. All in a row How would the world look so? Each house and street made trim and neat, - And every man with the same sized feet. And eyes and nose and hats and clothes Fashioned the same wherever one goes. All alike from year to year. Nothing to hope and nothing to fear, . Wouldn't the world grow sad and drear? Talking of eccentricity, how unpleasant it must be to be an "ostrich! It is all very well to have a section of one's hair pulled out occasionally by one's lawful wife; but to be periodically denuded of one's choicest curls is enough to make any one take to burying one s head in the sand, or drink or some such folly! It must be like living on an amateur volcano or next to an energetic tribe of Indians. Personally I'd sooner be a hangman or an emperor or a bishop or something more restful. If I had been an ostrich . With feathers worth a dollar, I'd dress myself in human clothes And wear a stand-up collar. I'd go into a barber shop. And say I wanted clipping. And very quickly put a stop. To such inhuman stripping. . Talking of ostriches what a touching episode is that of the young French prince in the hands of the revolutionary ruffians who try in every possible plan to make him degrade himself, when he shrinks from temptation and says proudly, "I can not, I dare not, I was born a king. Apply it universally, my friends; for we were all born kings; rulers of a mighty empire; prince of a vast domain; monarchs each and all of a God-begotten soul. Yet how few of us are equal to the dignity that is ours by right! We do not rule: but, with slack sails and idle tiller, let things drift and drift, until some half -hidden rock sends a shiver from stem to stern. Well for us if the first shock be not too severe; if the damage be not beyond repair. Well for us If, like the young prince, we realize the meaning of the grand motto Noblesse Oblige. Talking of kings. If by any chance you should see the sea serpent, or the rocks of Atlantisor anything out of the range of ordinary experience, it is far better to say nothing about it. No one will believe you, and you will be put down either as a luna tic, drunkard, or a liar, -mere is no earthly reason why there shouldn t be a sea serpent or a sunken island; but until a specimen has found' its way into Bar num's, it is better to avoid them; for your tale will be-as little accredited as that of Darwin's missing link. If you ever should be On the billowy sea -. Aboard a big ocean steamer You'd best close your eye If the serpent you spy In case they should thing you a dreamer. Or, if looking again O'er the limitless main, And longing once more to see dry land, You had better not cry, If you chance to espy The rocks of that strange sunken island. Or, if out in the night You should happen to sight A ghost or aspirit out walking You will --find it more wise Not to trust your own eyes And refrain from all Indolent talking. f It Will Surprise You In order to prove the great merit o'fi Sly's Cream Balm, the most effective cure f oif Catarrh and Cold in Head, your driuggist will supply a generous 10 cent Atrial size or we will mail for 10 cents.

Alfred W. Stevens, Caldwell, Ohio. Cotton Futures. (Special to The Messenger.) New York, June 12. The cotton market has broadened this week. Neither the fluctuations in the dealings have been sen sational, but the market has by no means been an uninteresting one. "Various re ports that have been published favored the bulls and in the early part of the week the bears were in full retreat. Cov ering by them caused a sharp upward movement and a good advance looked imminent, but it was not to be. The de mand for actuaL cotton was limited and the speculative demand still more so. The bulls in their turn finding that prices re fused to go higher, liquidated freely and the whole advance and more was lost. Today Liverpool was a shade- lower and' our market opened slightly down. The trading was only interesting because . of good buying on the part of the leading bear. August opened at 7.12, advanced. to 7.16 and colsed at 7.15 to 7.16, with the tone of the market steady. The weather in the south has become seasonable. The sentimental effect of this has been mark ed. The majority of operators feel that cotton will decline. They argue that a late start does 'not mean a small crop; that the plant Is doing nicely now; that the month' of June almost invariably is favorable to the growth of cotton; that with good reports being received from the fields already small speculative demands Will dwindle away almost to nothing, and that lower prices will result. The argu ments of the bulls are worthy of con sideration. They claim it to be folly to sell cotton at these prices with the whole growing season' before us, with the very small stocks everywhere and with the undoubted signs of business revival star ing us in the face.
