MARKET TREND IS
UPWARD GENERALLY
Buying of Small Proportions,
However, and Mostly
From Floor Traders.

XKW YORK. June 4.--Execution of the
small amount of orders on hand at the
opening: of the stock market today had
little effect on the level of prices. In
most cases quotations were raised by
smali fractions, hut there were a few
weak spots.
Lehigh Valley fell back 1C to 134, a newlow
figure for the movement. New
Haven lost a point.
The decline in these shares affected the
remainder of the list, which eased off
fan made the best showing, gaining a
point.
Uncertain Fluctuations.
After a series of uncertain fluctuations
the market moved upward generally
shortly before noon.
Weakness of Lehigh Valley and New
Haven held back the whole list for a
time, but when these shares reeoveied
strongly buying orders were put in more
confidently.
Indications of an over-extended short
interest were seen in the ready absorption
of highly speculative stocks, hut
general buying was of smail proportions,
with the demand coming almost entirely
from the floor leaders.
Bonds Are Steady.
Particular strength was showv. by Canadian
Pacific, Delaware and Hudson,
Harvester. New York Central and Can.
Bonds were steady.
Buying for the long account became
more of a factor once the market turned
upward definitely and further progress
was made. Realizing was encountered in
various stocks, as well as intermittent
pressure from speculative sources, but
without lasting effect.
Despite the uncertain feeling abroad,
foreign representatives bought 10,000
shares here.
Time money rates shaded, notwithstanding
a loss by the banks thus far
this week of $5.0(N.>,000 and expectations
of further gold exports.
COTTON MARKETS.

after the realizing of the past two or j
three days, however, and the market held
steady after the call with July contracts, I
wo: king back to last night's closing price, j

Representative Goeke of Ohio was advised
by the Treasury Department today
that as a result of the requirement
that banks pay 2 per cent interest on
all government deposits. $1,426,713 had
been added to the Treasury receipts
during the first year of the requirement,
which expired June 1. Mr. Goeke
was a member of the House committee 1
that investigated the question of re- quiring
this interest during the last <
Congress. 1
Once again the failure record for the
United States discloses progressive improvement,
commercial defaults during ,
May. as reported to R. G. Dun & Co.,
making the best exhibit of the year
from a numerical standpoint, and also
showing some contraction as compared
with the corresponding period of 1913. ?
Tnus, there were 1,221 business reverses
last month, as against 1,336 in
April. 1,464 in March. 1,505 in February i
and 1,857 in January, while in May, a
year ago, 1,246 concerns were forced to
suspend.
All of the decrease from 1913 was confined
to the trading class, in which the
losses numbered 833 in comparison with
888; manufacturing insolvencies, on the
other hand, were slightly larger?322 3
against 313?and among agents, brokers
and firms of a similar character there 3
were no less than sixty-six failures, or
twenty-one more than last year. In re- )
spect to the indebtedness involved, the
total was abain above normal. $23,447,496. 1
considerably exceeding the $16,863,804 reported
in May, 1913, and also being the
highest amount shown in the present
year, with the single exception of Janu- ,

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. !
CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, June 4.?Favorable weather
over the entire domestic winter and
spring crop regions put the wheat mar- ?
ket today under considerable selling i
pressure. The bears had a further ad- j
vantage in the fact that Liverpool quo- i
tations showed no response to yester- <
day's advance on this side of the At
lan'tic. Besides Oklahoma dispatches
said that, although rust spores were (
manifest, no daqaage had yet become
apparent. After opening Ma.% to ^a^i \
lower the market suffered a material
additional setback. ,
Corn eased off wit^i wheat and as a
result of cheaper offerings from Argentina.
Excellent growth conditions in
the United States operated also against
the bulls. Prices, which started H to u j
a% down, continued to decline. 1
Sellers formed a majority in the oats :
crowd. The chief influence was the :
weakness of other grain.
Shorts covering turned the provision
market upgrade. Higher prices at the
yards furnished the incentive.,

Tit for Tat. 7
From Pearson's Weekly. S?
Pat, who was in lodgings, was greatly
innoyed by the landlady helping herself
to his. provisions. She began betaking
a piece of his butter, and when
Pat came home she said: 8
"Pat I'm taking a little of your but- c<
ter, bqt I'm. not like other landladies? P
I'm telling you." Ji
Next day it was an egg, and so on.- 1*
Every day there was something taken T
md put off with the same remark: S
"I'm not like other landladies?I'm h
telling you."
Of.course there was never any reduction
in Pat's bill. One Saturday his
Dill came to a larger amount than "~
jBual. Pat looked at it, bundled up a
few things in his handkerchief, walked
to the-door and. said:
"landlady. I'm sloping. Im not like
>ther lodgers?I'm telling you!"

ANNAPOLIS. Md., June 4.?Old "grads'' *
om as far back as early fifties are gath- j
ting here today for the annual reunion
nd business meeting and the banquet i
lat will follow this evening. The offi- *
?rs* mess was the rendezvous for the ?
lumni and they sat about the tables p
capping yarns and relating the indents
of their days as midshipmen when *
to Naval Academy was but a small intitution
compared to its greatness of to- t
ay. c
It was expected that this year's reunion
rould be a record breaker in point of at- a
sndance. Many classes bad planned to
old separate gatherings, in addition to j
le general affair, but because of the .
resence of so many ships in Mexican
aters many are prevented from attend- ^

Bain Spoils Costumes.
A sudden thunder shower, with a tre- J
lendous downpour of rain, spoiled the ^
Ifect of the final competitive drill at <
le Naval Academy this morning and indentally
ruined more June-week cos- ^
imes than have hitherto appeared on
le big parade ground. t
Despite the fact that water is the natuil
element of the navy folk, sheets of r
ater interfered with the execution of I
ifantry tactics, on which the glory of (.
irrylng the brigade colors of the next t
ear hang, and so the drill was stopped. 1
le companies were ordered to shelter
nd the gallery of spectators escaped 1
om the rain in every available spot. j
The middies were thoroughly drench- ]
A. the officers' fresh "whites" all spoil- 1
i and the instruments of the band so
lied with water that the musicians (
ere dismissed, and when the shower
tided the drill was resumed without i
ny music. i

This afternoon the winning company

lioose the color sponsor, and at dress
arade this evening she will present

ompany.
Tonight the first class german will be

are at work today transforming

anging pockets of confetti which will t

iNSIGNNOWGETS BLAME
FOR GROUNDING SYLVIA
Commander Dempf Recommends
That Crawford Be Given Public
Reprimand.
Blame for the grounding of the T\ S. S.
Sylvia, training ship of the Naval Battalon
of the National Guard of the District
>f Columbia, has been placed on Ensign
larold Crawford, who was officer of the
leek at the time the vessel poked her
lose into the sand last Friday evening
lear Upper Cedar lighthouse, about fifty
niles down the river. The board of in[uiry
appointed by Commander Joseph
t. Dempf, commanding the Sylvia, imnediately
following the accident, reconvened
Tuesday and reconsidered the
ividence in the case. Its original report
ind recommendations absolving Ensign
Crawford from blame was recalled, and
l new report written.
In the new report which will be sent
mmediately to the Navy Department
lor final action, it was declared yesteriay,
the accident was blamed on the
vork of Ensign Crawford in running
:ourses dangerously close to the chanlel's
edge. The board of officers recomnended
that he be cautioned about this
ort of navigation of the vessel in the
uture.
Reprimand recommended.
In approving the new report of the
>oard, Commander Dempf recommended
o the department that Ensign Crawford
>e given a public reprimand. In view
f the fact that the ship was not inured
in any manner whatever, it was
ieclared to be the belief of the comnandtng
officer that a public reprimand
rould be sufficient to insure that there
rould be no repetition of steaming close
o the end of the river channel.
The original report of the board, while
absolving Ensign Crawford from all
lame, also provided for cautioning him
gainst steering so-called close courses,
it that time it blamed the accident on
he official charts of the coast and geoetic
survey which were declared to have
een wrong. Ensign Crawford, in his
estimony, blamed the accident on the
harts and the fact that the steering gear
nd engines did not respond quick enough.

PEARY WANTS BARTLETT
SENT TO THE ANTARCTIC
Believes Commander of Karluk Best
Fitted Man to Head Such
Expedition.
NEW YORK, June 4.?Rear Admiral
Robert E.- Peary, who reached the north
pole on his last trip to the frozen north,
suggests in a communication sent here
from his horpe in South Harpswell. Me.,
tnat L'&pl. noDCix carueu ur acui to iuo
antarctic at the head of an American
expedition.
Admiral Peary's statement was prompted
by the news that Bartlett. after his
ship, the Karluk. had been crushed in the
ice. led his people to safety on Wran gel
Island, and then made a long and trying
journey to obtain relief for them.
"When he has brought his people back
to civilization." says Admiral Peary, "it
would be a fine thing if this country,
through its scientific organizations, would
take sufficient interest to purchase the
Roosevelt, which can be done for oneflfth
of her cost; fit out an American antarctic
expedition to enlarge the field of
I geographic knowledge, enrich our muI
seums and give our scientists valuable
material?and put Bartlett in command.
No other man in the country today posI
sesses Bartlett's combination of qualiflcations
for such work and command."
BASE BALL ROMANCE
LEADS TO THE ALTAR
Miss Alice Lumpkin Resigns Position
to Join Fiance in
the West.
A romance which had its beginning: in
the grandstand at the Washington Base
Ball Park reached its climax Tuesday
when Miss Alice Lumpkin, a clerk in
the office of public roads, Department of
Agriculture, resigned her position and
left for St. Louis, where she is to meet
Burt Boree. also employed in the office
of public roads, and become Mrs. Boree.
Several years ago Boree, who is an
ardent base ball fan. was appointed to
a position in the office of public roads,
coming to Washington ii\>m the far
west. Not long after coming to this
city Boree made the acquaintance of
Miss Lumpkin, who was also a devotee
of the national pastime.
Day after day the two, slipping away
from clerical labors In the office, occupied
seats in the grandstand at the
Florida avenue ground, where they admired
the work of Walter Johnson, j
George McBride and the others of the j
team.
The mutual love of base ball became
the foundation upon which developed
another and even stronger affection,
and the two finally became engaged.
About a year ago Boree's love for
the west led him to seek a transfer,
and he was sent to Montana, where he
is now stationed. The fact that they
were separated by a good many hundred
miles failed to weaken the affection
between Boree and Miss Lumpkin,
and yesterday the latter relinquished
her position and left for St.
Louis. She is to meet Boree there
this evening; the couple are to be married
at once and they will then go to
Montana. Plans for the wedding were
kept a secret, and only a few of Miss
Lumpkin's most intimate friends knew
FDTAHCIAL.

yesterday, and some surprising figures are
shown. Since the statement showing the
earnings for January last was issued no
figures have been given out by the road.
This has caused a great deal of comment.
From a deficit in net operating revenue of
$.'$00,16:1 for the month of February, a net
revenue of $.*18,226.27 in April is shown.
This was brought about mainly by decreasing
