OUT OF GLOOM
yestertlau Was Marked bu a Grow
ing Confidence That Ended
in Elation.
STOCKS UP AT THE CLOSE
The Not Losses of the Previous Day
of Disaster Nearly Recovered Offl-.
rial Announcement That Sheets of
All Members of the Exchange Had
Boen Cleared nnd That Their
Drafts Hnd Been Honored, Re
lieves the Lnst Feeling of Appre
hension Mnny of the Western Po
tentates Make n Bold Attempt to
Retrieve Their Losses.
By Kulu'ItP Wire 'itm Tin- A-v.oti.ilfJ I'rri?.
Now York, May 1(1. Wall street
emerged from Its gloom this morning,
n ml with growing confidence In the
ilny. with something like buoyant ela
tion. Prices of stock went up with a
rush, nl tile last closing at about the
top mill the net losses left after yester
day's session pretty largely recovered.
There were some clouds renminbi), on
the situation this morning and some
natural trepidation lest the violent col
lapse of yesterday should have left
some casualties which would not be
disclosed until the cleat-ins bouse
sheets of the slock exchange hail been
made. Kurly In the day the olllelnl
iiniioiiiicenient was made that the
sheets of all the members of the ex
i liuiiRe had been cleared perfectly and
lhat all their checks had been honored.
This relieved the last feeling of upprc
hinsinn and the feverish and earnest
siyns which wore manifest in the stock
market during the lirsl hour dlsup
piarcd. Things quieted down into n
steady condition of business such as
las not li on wllnosesd in Wall street
lor many weeks.
The measures taken over night to
eli. n the situation left little to fear.
The agreements to allow the shorts in
Northern 1'aclllc to settle at J."0 really
went In the root of tin' crisis and
Mpul nut the impelling cause nf yos
tirday's panic The announcement by
Hie banks that yesterday's loan, which
hail been placed .by agreement among
the leading institutions or the street,
would not be called today, kept the
sitiMllon free fiom additional tension.
With the threnleiilng tension re
moved a lebmind In prices was natural
anil in evidence. The extent to which
Ii inn was however a surprise and
was attributed to various causes.
There is no doubt that among those,
who wore heavy losers in yesterday's
slump wen.' many of ample resources,
' who viewed the situation with a sport
ing instinct and a determination to
leionp losses by following the market.
It was the popular belief dial some
of the western potentates who were
admittedly forced "to walk sideways"
during ii portion of yesterday's events
were again in the market this after
noon in a bold attempt to retrieve their
losses. The obvious leadership of the
movement of (Tnlon Pacific and the
foiitliwesterii group gave ground for
the eniijei Hire that It was based on
beliellts expected to accrue to Union
raclfle from the control of the North
ern I'aciilc: a control which was still
stoutly claimed today, but as em
phatically denied by the Mill-Morgan
parties.
Effect of Northern Pacific Break.
It was remarkable that the break
ing or the corner In Northern Pacific
by the settlement with the shorts at
".0 hroimht almost no stock upon the
market, lint It Is evident thnt the
lontestlng parties in Northern Puclllo
are not yet prepared to let go of a
. sliiRlo available share of the stock.
The settlement with the shorts pro
gressed today at the offices of both
Kuhii, l.oeb ruinpntiy and .1. I'.
Mm gun .1 Company, and It Is probable
lhat only the completion of the settle
ment will reveal how much of the
purchases of stock made by the two
parlies within the last week can be
delivered.
The bargain hunters were also on
hand In Wall street today, nltlinuc.li
their operations fell away as the re
eovery In prices progressed. During
the morning, however, there were a
large number of transact Ions recorded
for cash and bonds, which Is the man
nor in which the bargain hunter us
tially pays for his purchases, Thorn
Is a holier in the street that yester
day's liable was niiule unnecessarily
violent by the excitement of some of
tho new members of the stock ex
change, many of whom are very young
nion, It Is supposed that some of these
muile undue saerlllees in the eliaotlo
conditions on Thursday, There was
some buying back of stocks from these,
sources and also by those who got
out In time early In the week and
wanted to get back, Tho Impending
holiday insured a period for calm re.
flection which must tend to clear the
situation still further. There was also
some manipulation of prices for tho
benefit nf those whoso borrowing pow
er hurt been largely Impaired by tho
shrinkage in coiluteral values. Somo
of this manipulation was also with u
low (o the benefit of the London mar
ket where thore Is a periodical set
tlement on Monday, which Is dreaded
much by (ho lOngllsh operators In
America, owing to the heavy declines
Pince the last settlement, which would
have to be mndo good.
The Advances.
Fome of the mora notable of the
day's advances were: Union I'acllle,
22: St, Paul and Lackawanna, 17;
Consolidated Gas, 1; ihtrllngton unrt
Antalgamnteil Copper. 12Vi: Interna
tional Power, ll!i; St. Louis South
western preferred, fO',i: Sugar, Dela
ware anil Iliul.soa unil General jciec
trle, 10.
This represents u rapid rate of re
i ? ,.
L1i
covery fiom tile extreme low prices
Thursday, which had already heett
largely recovered In the violent re
hound of the late trailing on the ex
change, There was an obvious dispo
sition to hall this iih a revival of the
boom, on the part of some of the more
sanguine of the speculative bull ele
ment, but after the week's experience
nf the severe penalties 'of over specu
lation a renewal of the same, was
strongly deprecated. That the wounds
caused by such n collapse as that of
Thursday are not to be healed In u
day Is patent, Tho condition of the
banks after yesterday's emergency
measures will want to be gauged be
fore adequate judgment can be passed
upon the outlook.
It Is a remarkable fact that the un
precedented violence of Thuisdny's up
set should have resulted in not a single
failure on the stock exchange.
The commission houses generally
were averse to accepting much now
business today. About one-third of the
commission houses would only take
buying orders from customers who
could pay for them in full, and others
required so excessive margins ns to re
strict trailing greatly. The heaviest
buyers came from the syndicates that
have been active In arranging deals
for the abso'rptiou of other properties.
These Interests seemed to regard the
developments yesterday as the most
favorable thing thnt could have hap
pened for tile carrying out of their
plans and accumulation of stock uy
them was resumed on a large scale
during the day. This buying was so
large that the supply of stocks was
continually exhausted, and many or
ders at fairly high limits could not be
tilled.
Morgans in Control.
New Yoik, May 10. After the close
of the stock exchange reports were
current that Jacob H. Schiff had ad
mitted that the control of tho North
ern Pacith: rested with J. P. Morgan
& Co. A member or the Harriman
syndicate made this statement:
"We believe now, as we did yester
day, that we control the Northern Pa
cille road. Nothing bus happened over
night or during the day to change our
opinion. As ror the Burlington deal,
concerning which there has been so
much adverse criticism, we believe it
wilt go through without a further
hitih."

DUN'S REVIEW OP TRADE
Fundamental Business Conditions
Unaffected by the Wall Street
Panic.
by KxilnMw Wire fiom VI. A'sociatnl l'nis.
Vow York, May 10. P.. G. Dun &.
Cmnpany's Weekly Review of Trade
tomorrow will say:
A panic in Watl street does not mean
that legitimate business hus suddenly
ceased to prosper, nor Is' the condition
of mercantile trade and manufacture
adversely affected by a. violent fall in
prices of securities. Throughout the en
lire country fundamental conditions
were never as sound as at the present
time: loports from nearly every city
this week showing an exceptional vol
ume ol transactions and payments
promptly met.
Production is not overtaking de
mand nl the finished steel mills, and
all Pittsburg plants are two months,
behind orders, while ninety days Is
the limit at many. Although the ex
pected advance in har Iron did not
appear, the tone continues firm and
orders are liberal, 'nillets remain at
the top point for prompt delivery, but
reasonable Icrms are available on for
ward contracts. Tn structural shapes
and ifllwny equipment there is all
tho business in sight that makers de
sire nnd no effort is made to secure
additional orders. Less urgency Is ro
eordod in pig iron markets, hut buyers
don't find prompt tonus more satis
factory arid, in fact, forge and foundry
iron Is rather more firmly held. Al
though the total numbers of furnaces
In blast on May 1 was forty, smaller
than in the same month of 1000, the
Iron Ago estimates the weekly capa
city at "01,125 tons, which exceeds all
previous high wator'marks. The ac
tivity of stool manufacturing is em
phasized by tho decrease of .14.270 tons
In furnace stocks during April, de
spite the unparalleled production.
Less sensational events transpired
In the cereal markets than In tho pre
ceding week, although quotations are
slow to recede. Corn eased off a few
cent, but is still about ten cents a
bushel above the quotation at tho cor
responding date In the two preceding
years. For the week arrival aggre
gated about 3,247,031 bushels, against
2.196,202 last year. Foreign purchas
ers have been driven out of domestic
markets by tho high quotations and
Atlantic exports for tho week have
been 1,211,214 bushels, compared with
i!,T09,S0 n year ago.
Shipments of jjoots and shoos from
Unslon rose to an unusual point, ag
gregating 103,328 cases for the week,
against 70,371 in tho previous week,
and CS.ir.l In the corresponding period
lnst year. Recovery in tho price of
cotton was only temporary and heavy
liquidations of options was accompan
ied by a fall in spot middling uplands
to tho lowest figure recorded this year.
With a largo yield probable this year
nnd unsatisfactory conditions at the
mills, there Is no Inducement to hold
stocks, The situation Is similar re
garding wool and woolens. Raw mate
rial is abundant and n large dip prob
able, while manufacturers have only
light demand for goods. k
Failures for the week numbered 187
In the United States, against 192 last

St. PeteiHburg. May 10. Official cir
cles take an optimistic view of tho
Chinese news. They consider that a
substantial and rapid progress toward
an understanding Is being made. Rus
sia is especially Interested in the pro
posal for a Chinese loan guaranteed by
the powers, jointly or severally, to the
amount due to each. The view held in
some quarters here Is that such a loan,
so guaranteed, would not only save
China enormous discount and Interest,
but would be the best possible guar
antee of tho empire's Integrity during
the period of the loan, since the entire
Chinese territory would be considered
as security for the money lent.
It is believed that the United States
government is fully lufoimcd regard

The Russian government, as always, Is
doslrous of learning Washington's
views.

WILLIE M'CORMICK'S
BODY DISCOVERED
The Supposed Kidnnpplng- Mystery
Cleared Up by the Finding- of
His Remains.
Bjr Exclusive Wire from The Awoclatcd Pieu.
New York, May 10. Tho body of
twelve-year-old AVlllle McCormlck.wbo
disappeared from ills home at Hlgh
brld'ge. six weeks ago, was found to
day floating on tho surface of Crom
well's creek, not far from the McCor
miek home. The father and sister of
the boy identified the body by the
clothing.
Police Captain Titus, In an interview
tonight, said: "At the present time t
am of the opinion the boy's death was
the result of an accident. There were
no marks of violence on the body, as
probably would have boon the case hntl
the lad met with foul play. Then, loo,
If any one had thrown the body into
the creek he would have first weighted
it, so that it would 'lave remained lie
low the surface of the water. My the
ory is that the boy bud boon playing
along the dock and fell Into tho water,
and there was no ono there to save
hhn or give an alarm. The torn con
dition of one of tho pockets of the
boy's coat would indicate that the gar
ment had caught on something, snag
or tho like, under the water, holding
the body down, thus causing it to es
cape observation. The masses of sea
woods and grasses In the creek would
also tend to keep the body from com
ing to tho surface."
The xia rents or the boy and Father
Mullin, or the Church or the Sacrod
Heart, or Hlgbbrhlgo. who has taken
an active Interest in the case, said to
night that they had abandoned tho
idea of foul play and that they bellevo
tho boy had been accidentally drowned.
Deputy Coroner ltegllemau said to
night: "If, after a thorough examin
ation tomorrow, no marks of vlolenco
are found, it is more than likely that
no autopsy will be made. U the boy
met his death by drowning, an autopsy
would not reveal the manner in which
he foil Into the wu'or. and would there
fore be useless."
Coroner Lynch tonight gave a penult
for tho removal of the body to the
homo or the boy's 'urents, and it was
taken there soon afterwards.
