THE.,.
It is a well-known fact that success brings success. Ou|JLockhart's Mill-End Sale of last week caused the name
of The Meyer Store to be heralded far and wide, and cipners of lots of merchandise who for any reasons were
anxious to dispose of them placed themselves in comnifinication with us. These new purchases are arriying
daily. Many of them will be placed on sale to-day, which, with the usual remnant and odd and end offerings
of Friday, will make it a special opportunity shopping day. s

And the Glosing Was About at the

i.ocovered in Sympathy With
Stouks?The Local Markets.
NEW YORK, May 10.?The active liqui
datlon of the two previous days in tlie
=tock market was relaxed to-day, leavin_.
the largciv extended short interest on the
defensive.* Ytstcrday's linal reoverv_gave
an impcius to the demand for Americans
on the London market, which hlted
priCes for The. opening here.
There wa? some slight demand through
commission-houses, showing that there
is an elcment which is watching the mar?
ket closely for mdicationa that it has
turned. The opening strengih lrom these
causes quickly gave way under the at?
tack by ihe bears. who used the state
ment o"f ?t- Paul's earnings lor the ttrst
week in Mav. This statement, showing
a decrease from last year for the lirst
time in many months. did in fact have a
strong Influence on sentiment. Tt was a
i'orcibie reniinder of the fears which have
founu expressibu for some time past m
Wall Street that the reaction in theiron
market and in generai business would
inevitably lead to a fallmg oif in railroad
e__alSnu_nce of labor difiicuUies at
various points caused some continued un
easines-s. and the bears professed appre
hension over the pessimlsUc tone of Loid
Sallsbury's speech last night.
Quite liberal buying for London account
<=cr\.'.i to counteract the last-named argu

the buying lor London account as high
__, 4o',h?. shares: but the most ofieetive
succor for the bears came from a break
of over 5 points in Tobacco and from
persi.tent heaviness in Sugar.
Prices very generally drlited back to
last uight's" level or below, but at no
time during the day did the pressure 01
h\"uld_tiorbecome severe. and the bears
found difficulty in getting stocks when
ever they bld. * . ,
The absence of pressure proi|pted some
of the small pools to resume operations.
notlblv that 'in Missouri Pacilic. That
stock was bld up during the day nearly 2
points. The covering of short contracts
gave notalne strcngth also to the Atchl
S(.n? th_ PuHiics and Louisville. Ihe
upward movement in the trunk lines was
not as maikclas In other stocks. rne
metal stocks were inclined to be nrm all

the movement. both its stocks nsing over

The foreign market generally impro\ed
to-day on account of the easler money
conditions rcflected in the favorable
weeklv reports Of the Government banks
of England, France and Germany. Tliis
was especially truc of the Berlin mar?

The Meyer Store,
spot sales in the English market than
antlcipated, and before coniidence was
restored prices had been advanced sllghtly
by coverlng. together with light buying
for forelgn account. The uneasiriess was
short-lived, however. and before midday
not orily had the opening advanee of 1
to 2 points been wiped out, but a net loss
of an equal amount' had been scored.
Eariy foreign buying orders %ve-re fol
lowed by selling of tbe new crop posi
tlons. From time to time Wall Street
bought. and thus cheeked a tendency to
weakness. Private cables asserted that
tbe big sales of spot cotton at Liverpool
were due to offerings of very delirable
cotton at former selling prices. Crop and
weather conditions were bearish, but sta
tistics, on the other hand. were decidedly
in favor of the bull.crowd. Though quiet.
southern spot markets were reported to
be holding their own in the matter of
prices. The close- was quiet, 1 point high?
er to 1 point net lower.
