CHICAGO Feb. 1S.-The grain market

was up to the level of the call prices, he be-
gan buying 10 provide the wheat for those
privilege obligations; in the last fifteen min

threaten him more seriously. There was
plenty of wheat for sale, and lot wanted at

casional jumps to 9SI2c and one to 9S5sc

price showed no recuperative power after the
decline referred to up to within fifteen min
utes of the close. 1t only needed little cour-
age on the part OF the bears to cause further
decline, and they gathered enough OF ittogeth-
er in the last fifteen minutes to cause drop
to 97Ss@97I2c, the latest trading being at
97L2c. The corn market was just trifie eX-
cited at the opening. and the price for May
was advanced 1s to Ac. The first trades in
May were made at 53s4c and 5375c, and not
until considerable business had been done at
lac over those quotations did the market
show any signs Of having satisfied the buy
ing ardor of the shorts. There were one or
two 5000 bushel lots of May sold at 544 but
54Isc was substantially the highest point of
general trading. There was good buying i'll
oats esrly, May advancing from 464c at the
opening to 46ssc. A weaker feeling then
manifested itself and the price declined until
the close. The opening OF the provision
market was quiet but firm in sympathy with
grains and there was no pressure Of offer
ings. The demand for lard at a concession
of 2l2c from yesterdays closing price was
the feature of the CALL The closing price Of
May lard was 2l2c lower than ON Tuesday.

FINANCIAL DEPRESSION.
Suspension of the American
Loan and Trust COmDany,

New YORK, Feb. 18-The American Loan
and Trust company closed its doors at II 80
to-day, the immediate cause being demand
for large amount of money made by saw
lngs banks of this city, which the trust COM
pany could not meet A number of deposi
tors are gathered about the building, waiting
for statement of the condition Of the COM
pany. Bank Examiner Preston states that
he gave no order to close the doors. and the
general feeling seems to be that the
company will pay depositors in full and have
a good balance left Three savings banks
one in syracuse, one in Rochester and an
other outside bank, the names of which are
not known, demanded payment of deposits
not pay, and at the request of one of the
savings banks the superintendent took pos
session. Later he sent for Bank Examiner
Cahill, who is now i'll charge. Mr. Preston
refuses to make any statement until after
o'clock 1t is said he desires to give the in
stltution time to reorganize. The Tribune
Says that the American Loan and Trust COM
pany will be reorganized. The present Of
ticers will retire. James A. Blair, nephew
of the millionaire John Blair, viii become

Of products always rose ana fell with
the advance and decline in the price OF
silver. Nj. Bartine and others wanted
to know how long the examination was
to be kept up and another wTangle en-
sued.
Mr. Waiker-I have questions which will
last al day long
Mr. Bartine-That is absolutely uureasona-
BILE. The other members of the committee
have some rights.
After a brief exchange of words, Mr.
Walker declared that he had no desire
to prol0ng the hearing. He had a list
of the questions carefully noted down
which we're pertinent to the inveStiga-
ton into the silver problem. He would
agree that vote should be taken Fri
day, but he wanted his questions an
swered.
Mr.. Comstock, of Minnesota, paid
tribute to the abilities of Mr.. Bartine,
Mr.. Bland and other committeeman,
but thought they should concede to Mr..
Walker the right to continue his
questions. Mr.. Tracey, of New
York. as a substitute for pending
motions. moved that the hearings cease
at II O'Clock Friday, and he adopted
suggestions of other members that a
vote should be taken at o'clock Friday
on reporting the bill. 1t was evident
that this was the best that the silver
men could do, and MIR. Bartinelaccepted
the substitute motion. Mr.. Williams
said he would vote for the proposition
Of Mr.. Tracey under protest, because he
could not help himself, and Mr.. Bland
made q similar statement, so that by
unanimous consent it was agreed that
hearings should cease at IL o'clock Fri
day and that vote Oh the bill should
be taken at 1 o'clock that day. Mr.
Walker then resumed his examination
OF Mr.. NeWlands.
After it had been decided to take
recess for an hour, Mr.. Warner. OF
Ohio. called attention to the charge
which had made that the advocates OF
free coinage were not willing to be
questioned, and stated that he was will
ing to answer any inquiries which
might be made. Mr.. Walker asked
him if he were not the head Of the
national silver executive committees;
and when MIR. Warner responded in
the affirmative, Mr.. Walker inquired
how much money had been expended
TO promote silver legislation. Mr.. New
lands interrupted with remark that
he had given statement of eXpendl-
lures to the silver pool investigating
COlHLllllee anu ADVISED MI. w dlHOA
not to answer the question.
Mr.. Warner declined to give the
amount, but declared that $5 had been
expended by the gold pool and bank
pool for every dollar spent by the silver
men. Mr.. Warner declared that he
represented no pool and said he had
been advocating the cause Of silver
ever since he had learned ofits demone-
tiZatOu. Mr.. Walker several times
pressed Mr.. Warner for information as
to his knowledge of the existence OF any
gold pool or bank pool. Mr.. Warmers
response was in effect that he had no
knowledge except that which was in
the public press, and he intended to say
simply that the national banks were
doing just what the silver men were
doing, and which they had right to do
-agi:ating these questions and bringing
their views before the people. After
recess Mr.. Newlands' examination was
continued until adjournment for the
day.

Opening Indian Lands.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The North
western congressman are feeling pretty
we'll to-day over the passage of the In
dian amendments to the general appro-
prlation bill. The SiSseton and Wah-
peton measure was the most important
one to the Northwestern states. This
matter has been hanging fire during the
entire session of the fiftY-irst congress,
and representatives of the states inter-
ested have made an aggressive fight.
The ratification of the treaty made with
the Sisseton and Wahpeton Indians
means the opening up to settlement of
valuable agricultural and grazing lands,
including the Sisseton reservation.
Minnesota will be greatly benefited by
the opening up of this tract to settle
ment.
