Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
A reliable article of butter and eggs is firm
at quotations. Cheese is steady. In all other
lines of country produce trade continues slow.
Orders, however. begin to come in more freely
from surrounding towns. A Liberty street com
mission merchant whose reports have been of
blue tint all winter reports to-day that there
has been large increase of orders the pastfew
days. and that his trouble now arises from Sc
we're weather which prevents his sending out
stuff Trade begins to waken up from its long
Rip Van Winkle sleep, and we hope to chronl-
Gle activity all along the line before many days
have passed.

STOCK TINKERING.
The Changers Still the Weak Spot-Other
Shares Show Advnnces-Big -Four to the
Front-An Upward Movement
Bonds Weakening.


NEW YORK, February 1a-The stock market
was a divided one to-day. and while in some
cases the best figures of the past week were
reached. in others the lowest prices known for
years were established The general tendency
of prices was upward, but the Grangers were
still the disturbing factor in the situation, and
the weakness displayed in those cases gave the
rest of the list rather feverish appearance,
and the final changes are irregular. The mar
ket, however gave unmistakable evidence of
disposition to break away from the Grangers
entirely, and outside of those stocks and few
specialties which have made unusually large
gains. there were no declines to speak of, and
the decided advances were quite numerous.
The announcement late last evening that
Illinois Central had signed the agreement was
contradicted this morning. and bearish dis
patches from Chicago were again predicting the
collapse of the Interstate Association, and
there was renewed liquidation in the Grangers
with Illinois Central, Burlington. Rock Island
and Omaha preferred, became very conspicuous
for the declines established, all reaching the
lowest prices for long time. The other Gran
gers, st. Paul, Northwestern and some others
were comparatively well held and came out at
the end of the day about even with last nights
figures. The weakness in stocks mentioned
had marked influence for time upon the
rest of the list, but they soon broke away and
all the way out.
First prices were irregular, but in most cases
lower, declines extending to g per cent. The
weakness in tie Grangers appeared immedi-
atey, and Burlington took the lead with drop
of over point At noon most shares we're
shade below opening figures. Comparative
dullness overspread the list in the forenoon,
but Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and In
dianapolis and Big Four came to the front, and
as the day wore along the upward movement
became more pronounced and more animation
marked the trading. The market finally closed
active and strong generally, at small fractions
better than first figures. Pullman is off 2H,
Burlington IL and Rock Island IA but Wheel
ing and Lake Erie preferred gained 1ss and
Cleveland Columbus, Cincinnati and Indian
apolis also gained ~. ...-
The railroad bond market was again compar-
atively quiet, the sales of all issues to-day ag-
gregating only ST. 9S3 900. butout of this amount
Atlantic and Pacific fours contributed Sl75, 600
and the International skies Sl04, ,000 The weak
ness in the latter bonds was the special feature
of the day, but the general list was also in
clined to droop, and the final changes show
majority of important declines for the first
time since the first of the year.
The following table shows the prices of active
stocks on the New York Stock Exchange.

Buyers and sellers of old rails and scrap iron
have lately had some good openings in France.
The French Eastern Railway Company offered
A500 tons of old rails for sale, the bulk of
which was purchased by the Creusot, Chetil-
lon, Champigneulles and Maubeuge works.
The prices ranged from 72 to IS francs. The
fall in the price of old rails has led to the VII
lette Works near Paris being closed, and it is
said that the Grenelle Mills have laid in suf
fcient stock for is months. 1t is evident, how
ever, that for the present the supply Of old
rails exceeds the demand, and that their price
is likely to weaken still further.

Mccall & Co.'s Report.

E. Mccall & Co.'S weekly review is as follows:
The receipts of cattle were light and market
slow at an advance of 10c to 15c per cwt over
last weeks prices. We cannot offer ANYTHING
encouraging in the cattle trade for the future,
as there are great many cattle to run yet, and
the still houses are full of cattle that must be
marketed before the hot weather sets in. The
only thing that caused an advance this week
was the light run. We give the following as
ruling prices for the week: Prime. 1880 to 1.6UO
pounds. s. 1904 so; good, loo to l,400 pounds,
So 3564 D; good, LOCO TO Loo pounds. s. 60G

ket slow at the following quotations: Heavy

and the market steady at about last weeks
prices. To-day's receipts were fair. hut fully

CHEAPER FREIGHT RATES.
Western Railroads Could Not Stand the
Steamship Competition.

Steamship Competition.
The freight rates from this cityto Houston
and Galveston, Tex, have been reduced.
The following are the new rates, which were
put in effect on the 10th inst:
First class, 81 50; second class, 81 Is: third
class. 81 o.: fourth class. Sc; fifth class, .73
class A, 20: class B., 20; class c. "a; class D..
IS; class E, 80.
These rates will be subject to the West
ern classification adjusted to Texas business.
The reduction amounts to about 10 per cent
on the old rates, which were put into effect
January 20. 1t was found necessary to re-
duce them again owing to the competition
of the steamships plying between New York
and Galveston. A number of Pittsburg
manufacturers were shipping stuff to New
York by rail and then by ship to Galveston
at cheaper rate than they could get from
the railroads running west from this city.
IN order to get their share of the business
they had to restore the old rates.

and the Central Board of the Prussian Govern
ment railways will shortly make contracts Tor
1000 trucks and carriages, 400 locomotives and
800 luggage vans. 1t may be observed that be-
tween 1880 and 1887 the number of carriages
and trucks on the lines in question increased
by So per cent and the traffic by 120 per cent,
and it is supposed that fully 4G,0OO.OOO marks
will be required in order to meet the present
requirements of the railway traffic in Germany:
1t is estimated that this years production of
pig iron in Germany will exceed that of last
years by about 400 OO0 tons.

Anew U.e for Soda Re.iduum.

M. Vivenot Lamy who is well known in
French manufacturing circles, has just taken
out patent for utilizing soda residuum as a
fux and purifying medium in the manufacture
of pig iron. The proportion employed varies
according as the ore is calcareous, silicious, or
otherwise. This residuum can be charged from
the top of the furnace with the ore and may
be mixed with other substances, especially
sawdust and coal dust and formed into balls or
cakes in order to obtain greater consistency.

OIL CERTIFICATES.

The condition of the local money market yes
terday was in all material respects identical
with that of the preceding days of the week.
Checking and depositing were on a moderate
scale, and rates were steady at the usual fig

showing, the exchanges being S2,097, $50 60 and
the balances S3l7 800 81. The secret of this lies
in the fact that the two or three so-called oil

The Progress Oil Is Making Toward the
Dollar Line,

The oil market opened yesterday with bull.
ish tendency and good trading. The effort to
reach the 81 line was unsuccessful. The first
quotation was soc, sold off to SS55sc, recovered
and gradually advanced to 9Cc, with sale of
1000 barrels at that price. The market then
slumped off and sold ct Ss5z, at which it hung
for some time, and finally closed with nervous
feeling as to the outcome. There was consid-
erahle general trading during the day, both
East and West, but no large blocks changed
hands. In giving his views on the situation an
operator said: ''The indications 10 my mind
are that there will be lower prices tomorrow
morning, with q recovery later in the day, but
we will not see 81 oil just yet"
