The floods have more pity for a drowning child than
for drowning rat; more pity for household than

THE PETROLEUM MARKET.

NEw-YORK. Feb Il.
In a speculation so entirely governed by
manipulation as the market in United certificates has
been for weeks past statistics count for little In the
last six months there has been a decline from
1924 10 81 oils without any warrant for it in the
statistical position unless be assumed that the advance
10 81 2i was a gross imitation OF values. Manipulation
undoubtedly was a large element in the upward move

OF wide purchasing by the public. The subsequent de-
cline ha. been due partly the Indifference " the pub

garding the future this factor must be confronted

extreme OF totally disregardlns statistics should

gross stocks OF these lines amounted 70 37773549 bar

reduction from July 1888, OF l0953S4 barrels in gross
stock and Of 53O7 barrels in net stocks In July 1888
the total receipts 2O22 473 barrels and the total
deliveries 922 barrels Of receipts OF 397

were only lsO4727 barrels and the deliveries

THE MONEY MARKET.

SUNDAY, Feb. 17.-P. NJ
The commercial and mercantile interest had TO
contend against circumstances and conditions that
were unusually adverse TO activity and improve
ments. Not only were some of the Western valleys
flooded TO such An extent that the amount Of dam
age cannot be estimated, but the whole country
suffered from spell of unfavOrable weather that
was as unreasonable in its character as il was un-
precedented iu It's duration Added to that, one
set Of speculators in grain and provisions made it
warm" for another set of spectators,
and TINS showed the difference between
the market values and those values at
which exports can be made. Toward the
end of the week, however, the Chicago prices
yielded as the receipts of grain thus far exceeded
the shipments eastward. The net result of the
speculation as compared with the last prices Of
Saturday, February 10, were advances; wheat
about / Il cents; corn 1G1l2 cents; pork S2I2
cents and lard % cents.
The receipts and shipments of wheat corn and
oats at the principal Western points of accumula-
ton for four weeks compare as follows:

The business in mining stocks last week VAS
drifting backward toward an uninteTestlng and IN
