Pork and lard are steady. but hogs zoo

cities are more generally fav-
able than is usual. Boston
finds improvement i'm wool, in
leather and domestic hides, active trade
in boots and shoes, cotton goods and
lumber, and in other building materials.
Philadelphia notes few sales of wool,
and prices less firm, and good trade
in chemicals, liquors and leaf tobacco.
AT Chicago grain receipts are still large;
dry goods sales show slight increase,
with good payments, and there are lib

At Pittsburg there is better feeling
among iron manufacturers; at Cleve-
land, improvement in dry goods and
hardware; at Detroit, slow improvement
and manufactures busy; and at other
Western cities general Improvement, or
satisfactory volume of trade. At the
South, outside the direct effect of
floods, trade is good, and less time is
asked than usual, good crops and high
prices having swelled the cash surplus
of dealers. The monetary situation
does not threaten. Interior markets
are generally easier, and at Kansas City
and Milwaukee with more demand; at
Cleveland the demand is so active as to
cause some stringency. Complaints of
slow collections are distinctly less fire.

the West and South have been drawing
from the East for merely products sold,
while purchasing of goods not much
more than in other years. Thus the

THREATENING SYMPTOMS.
Business Is Booming. But TIN.
Undercurrent Is Unf;lvOrabIe

NEW YORK, April 11.-R. g. Dun d
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
"With larger tonnage in motion than in
any previous year at the same season,
larger volume of currency in active cir
culation. larger payments through clear
ing houses by nearly 10 per cent, larger
imports and exports, and larger domeS-
tic production in agriculture, in iron and
steel, leather and boot and shoe manu-
facture, the country has entered upon
the second quarter of the year with
great hopefulness. Yet there are un-
favorable symptoms which DO not dis
appear, but grow more distinct and
threatening. The iron Industry has ad-
yanced too rapidly-the expected set
back has begun. Furnaces in blastApril l
were of 175.701 tons weekly output,
against 1SO,O91 March l. The produc-
tion for the quarter may be estimated at
2,25O,OO0 and stocks on hand are ac-
cumulating. Prices are lower, Southern
No. being offered at $3.50 and North
ern at SIT, while bids of S33 are sought
for steel rails. The business in bar iron
is better, with no change in price: plates
are moving at very unsatisfactory
prices, and structural iron is not as
active as makers wish. Coal is still
stagnant, the output for the quarter
having been 66S.032 tons, or nearly 10
per cent less than last years, with ac-
cumulating stocks unsold. Copper has
been steady at 141ac, tin inactive at
2O1dc, and lead dull at $2.05 bid. The
speculative markets have been more
active, with higher range of prices
on the whole. Sales of wheat here
have reached 74.0O0,000 bu., and the
price has advanced 2slc, though exports

considerable animation to-day. but 1t
was done at the expense of values, and
the bears. aided by the Chicago party
and the traders. succeeded in making
material declines in the few stocks
which they attacked with sufficient
vigor. The news from the West this
morning was not assuring, and the
government crop report was another
inducement to sell the grangers, while
ports was used as a bugbear to
frighten timid holders. Some at
tempt was made to manipulate the
money market late in the day, and re-
ports were circulated that the bank
statement tomorrow would show ma
terial decrease in the surplus reserve,
which, if true, would wipe it about out.
The general list was, as usual, dull and
fairly steady within narrow limits, but
the increased selling of the five or six
active stocks made the market more
animated than on any previous day this
week. The discovery late in the day
that the rule restoring the commission
rate upon unlisted stocks to the regular
rate did not go into effect for some days
vet, made rush to sell Sugar, and it
declined rapidly on materially increased
dealings. The short selling which for
the past two days has been noted
in Missouri Pacific was trans
ferred to Rock Island to-day
and that stock sprang into acti witty

entire day, though closely pushed by
Missouri Pacific. The fact that the
Rock Island stock held by the late
David Dows was not tied up, but was
liable at any time to come on the mar
BILE effect, but the selling of the stock
by the Chicago people on the probable
disturbance of railroad business in the
West was the principal incentive, and,
the traders joining in the movement,
the stock was gotten down to the lowest
price it has seen for some time.
Missouri Pacific was sold to below 20,

farther. In the last hour, when
the bidding up of money was done.
there was extra pressure brought
upon the Grangers, and Burlington &

would go into the directory, but the
selling was not important, and in the
afternoon 1t rallied to the best price of

MoRMoNIsM IN CANADA.
Heavy Penalties Prescribed for
Polygamous Practices.

OTTAWA, Ont, April 1.-THE Nor
mon question was ventilated in parlla-
ment last night. The house took up
Sir John Thompson's bill to amend the
criminal law. and polygamy is included
in the list of offenses. Hon. Edward
Blake said the Mormon settlers in the
Canadian Northwest form a dangerous
eleme Mt, and urged that their abomni-
able practices should be suppressed.
From information given, he learned
that the Mormons who fed from Utah
to Canada left their wives at home and
brought young girls with them for COM
pani0ns. Minister of the Interior
Dewdney also spoke. he said he
had personally assured the Nor
mons that they would never
be permitted to practice polygamy in
Canada. At that time the MOrmons
gave him satisfactory assurances, and
more recently denied that they were
evading the laws. Sir John Macdonald
said Canada would never allow the
Northwest to be the scene of polyg-
amous practices. The clause relating
to polygamy was amended, raising the
penalty from two to five years imprison-
ment.

CHICAGO. ILL.,. April 1l.-This was the
largest day for the wheat trade in Chi
cago for years. excepting panics grow
ing out of manipulation. The action of
the market may be judged by these fig
ures. Last night May wheat closed at
S21sc. This morning it opened at Sic,
touched s44c, went off to $500, up
again to S37sc, off to s35sc. up to SAGE,
off to SAC and up again on another bulge
to S5c at 1 o'clock. June sold at S41ac
and S519c. July started at S3c, sold
S314c,off to $3.50, up to $3.50. off to $3.50
and finally up to s4c. The trading was
so wild and the aggregate of trans
actions so great that even the leaders of
the trade and others were lost sight of
as far as keeping tab on their in
dividual business went. The market
surged and bulged and receded, carrying
traders, big and little, with it. One thing
was conceded on all hands. The coun-
try was in the market, and that, too, on
the buying side. Mr.. Hutchinson first
distinguished himself by buying just as
the price was receding from the first eX-
cited bulge. Later in the day his heavy
buying was felt when the price of May
went close up to S5c. Mr.. Cudahy was
an open seller on the early strength, but
the gossip of the pit credited both Cud-
ahy and Partridge with running to
cover on their lines of short wheat about
noon. The great influence of the day
was, of course, the government crop
hgures received late last night. They
make the average condition of wheat
81 against "a at the first of April last
year and compared with an average of
about IS for three years past. This con-
dition at 81 is much lower than the trade
anywhere expected, hence the great
commotion. The Illinois crop bulletin
gives very discouraging crop outlook
also. Liverpool cables were firm and
higher. Export clearances were mod
crate for wheat, but very liberal in
flour. After O'clock prices eased off
somewhat. Receipts were: Wheat,
46 cars; corn, 23S cars; oats. 169 cars.
Shipments Wheat. 240,230 bu; corn.
457.399 bu; oats. 26O.5S3 bu. Corn was
active and strong and advanced 3s@5sc.
Oats were fairly active and B@59c
higher. The provision trade was enor-
nous. There was the most action in
prices of mess pork. First figures were
only sc over the close last night, but the
crowd felt uneasy because of the hold
ings by the old Sawyer-Wallace clique
houses. They were sellers of May and
buyers of July pork. Mccormick &
Co. led the buying all day. May ranged
from $1O.95 to S11.35, and July Sl1.15 to
S11.55. In short ribs the dealings were
remarkable. Hutchinson sold, it was
thought, all the ribs bought for days.
perhaps 100000 pounds. The market
did not yield. The trade generally and
the shorts absorbed them. Ryan, Webb
and Armour q Co. were the best buy
ers. May ranged at S5.32 to S5.37. July
S5.42 to $5.47. Trading in lard was gen
eral, but on large scale, and prices
were firmly held.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

buying orders. The first sale of May was l2c
above last nights selling. There were
enough of sellers, however, at the advance to
break prices down l2c, but the decline was
only temporary. More buying orders came
in, Shorts began covering, and others buying
long, and prices was speedily rushed up 34c.

came an advance within range of I2c, but
with a strong feeling. The aggregate trad

northeast Minneapolis, two weeks ago,
promises to rank with that of the fam

missing boy have been received, and
now the police are of the opinion that
he has been buried in some of the sand

Yesterday Mr.. Pilon returned from the

A French scientist who removed the

injuring the membrane, in patches about
the size of the diameter of pea. and
snugly fitted the openings with bits Of
glass, gives the following report of the
wonderful experiment:
II placed the egg with the glass BULBS
eyes in an incubator run by clockwork
and revolving once each hour, so that I
had the pleasure of looking through
and watching the change upon the in
side at the end of each sixty minutes.
No changes were noticeable until after
the end of the twelfth hour, when some
of the lineaments of the head and body
of the chick made their appearance.
The heart appeared to beat at the end
of the twenty-fourth hour, and in forty
eight hours two vessels of blood were
distinguished, the pulsations being
quite visible. When 451 hours had
elapsed we heard the first cry of the
little imprisoned biped. From that time
forward he grew rapidly, and came out
