CLOSING PRICES OF CHICAGO STOCKS.
on THE STOCK EXCHANGE.

Wednesday December 5-p. m
The market is well described to-day by its
statistics. The total shares done were 2'l.S6s;
and Of these III. SOP were in American Sugar Re
fnng alone leaving SO. 500 for the rest Of the
list OF this remainder. 297O5 In Chicago
Gas and 1850 In st. Paul. And beyond the
statistics there is little to say. II commonly
believed that the directors OF the Sugar Com
pany would declare the usual per cent on the
common stock and ia the preferred. This
they did but not until after p. The an
nouncement that the dividend 10 be paid
out of earnings previous to September last was
plainly intended to sustain the theory that the
business since then has been bad The public
expects the promised Statement" u tomorrow
with much curiosity. The fluctuations OF the
stock reflected the conditions mentioned. II

lowest Sc. At the close the price ss7s. but
later It was reported be sold the curb at 80.
Little doubt Is expressed that the company has

cago Gas moved within IA points. and closed AT
70, a net gain Of H. on the usual stories for and
against the dividends. The decline in ST. Paul
was due to nothing later in shape OF news than
the bad traffic returns last published. 1t was
sold in this market by London. Rock Island
Burlington and Northwestern were strong but
the rest Of the market calls for no comment The
close was dull and firm.

A Danger That Should Be Guarded

"Bcll's Messenger" an English paper
calls attention to one danger to horses, in
the following: IN some foreign hay and
straw there turks great danger. There

bound with wire, which is most unneces-

quite as we'll On four farms in Surrey
cattle have died within a few months
from the effects Of swallowing the wire,
and, unless this vile practice Is discoutin-

horse, once having swallowed a small
piece may live twelve months, or it may die
shortly. The symptoms are loss Of APP
petite and dullness, but death is certain
sooner or later. All that is required is
for purchasers to refuse iron-bound hay

cease; but in the meantime care should
be used in the removal of the wire before

Surface Cultivation.

The whole theory of modern cultivation
is that crops do better when they are
given surface cultivation throughout the
season This process is much easier than
the old-fashioned deep cultivation, and it
can be done in half the time. BY it the
surface soil is Kept loose and moist all
through the season, and this keeps the
moisture near the roots of the plants
The loose top soil acts as a mulch to the
plants, and is invaluable in dry seasons,
More and more every season are farmers
coming to see that fneness Of surface soil
encourages moisture and consequently
nitrifcation, by capillary attraction,
which largely increases the crops in dry
weather. and as there is scarcely a sum
mer without dry spells, it is advisable to
prepare for these as early in the season as
possibe-EX.

STRIKE OF THE COKE WORKERS.
Two Thousand Pounds OF Dynamite
Stolen and Outrages Feared.

Two Thousand Pounds OF Dynamite
Stolen and Outrages Feared.
Uniontown, Pa, April ct has just
been discovered that the strikers have
stolen 1000 pounds of dynamite from the
new reservoir being constructed on the
mountain east of Dunbar and great de-
struction of property is expected. The
dynamite WAS stolen while the work
men on the reservoirs were absent. The
rioters broke open the storage house.
The robbery has caused great excitement
In the coke regions and many believe
preparations are being made for re-
neWal of noSulities. President Davis,
who IS in jail, said to-day he would not
withdraw his call for a convention on
Saturday, and urges the board to
report at the meeting and arrange
for a continuance of the
strike. He, however, condemns theriOt-
ing ana says that it must be stopped.
This afternoon an ugly feeling is develop
ing. and there are indications that trouble
will break out anew after. if not before,
the Scottsdale convention tomorrow.
A CONSPIRACY SUSPECTED.
Connellsville, Pa, April 1.-THE leaders
OF the Slavs and Huns in this section are
claiming that the strike was the result of
y
ana German elements of the region
to get the Huns expelled from
the coke country, and they are
currently spreading the news TO all their
people in the region. The means by
which this is TO be done is the present
strike. The Slavs and Huns were brought

Years ago to break a strike, and since
mat time the other nationalities
alege the wages of the
miners and cokers have speedily
declined The only means the other
natlonaIities have of restoring the former
prosperous times is by eypelling the Huns
ana Siavs. One very marked feature of
JAe strike IS that all the leaders of the
strike, and the officers of the organization,
are irish, while the Irish employees Of the
region, numbering about ] 500, refuse to
take any part in the strike The Ger
mans also hold aloof The HungGrians
now allege that they have been led into
TINS strike and melted toriot and Dloodshed
m order to work up prejudice against
mem and cause the people 10 rise up and
clther annihilate them or eXpel them
rom the region. 1t is hard to explain
ihe sudden collapse of the strike in any
other way than that the Huns have
Eol the impression that they are
heinC imposed upon. and have given
up the contest. 1t is remarkable that
movement of such magnitude as the
5trlke had assumed up to yesterday morn
Ing, should suddenly collapse. In con-
Eersation with Julius de Latroy presi-
cent of a large Slavic political club,

GEN. FRYE's ARMY.
The Railroads Will Not Garry the Men
and They Must Walk.


St. Louis, Mo, April O. Chief Of Police
Walsh sent inquiries to all east bound
railroad Offices in East St. Louis this
morning. and learned that their decision
not to carry Gen. Frye and his army on
their trains was final The chief then
notified Gen. Frye that his army must
vacate East ST Louis at once. A sYmpa-
thiiug farmer donated an old team of
horses and lumber wagon TO the army in
order that they might be able to trans
port their baggage and cooking utensils.
At 8 o'clock the bugle sounded Boots
and Saddles, and the brigade tramped
out over the dusty turnpike in their
march to Washington. The army re-
ceived about 100 recruits while encamped
here, and now numbers about 800 men. 1t
is expected that they will continue on the
turnpikes until they reach Cincinnati.
THE MEN REFUSE TO WORK.

industrial army started east to-day on
FOOT The railroads refuse to transport
them free and no means were found TO pay
fares. The army is on very short rations.
it was practically driven out Of East st.
Louis this morning. There is great
deal of feeling against the army from the
fact that the East ST. Louis water board
offered to employ 200 of them at $l.50 a
Frye's men would accept the Offer.
THE CALIFORNIA CONTINGENT.
Sacramento, Cal, April 6.-The San
Francisco regiment of the industrial
army, 800 strong, arrived on a train from
Oakland shortly after noon to-day. The
train was run to Agricultural
park, about a mile from
town, where the men disembarked
and were given a substantial dinner, con-
sisting Of soup, beef, bread and coffee, by
their adherents here. An arrangement
was made with the railroad company to
take the regiment, together with the Sac
ramentO contingent Of 200. through to
