New Work.

NEW YORK, Feb. z. All the Wall
street markets were stagnant today. In
the stock exchange speculation was alb.
solutely devoid of features. The trad
ing was sluggish to degree, aud the
fluctuations in prices were extremely
narrow. Less than 10000 were dealt
in, and the net result Of the days trans.
actions, except in three instances, show
merely fractional changes. London
was in the market to but small extent,
and was on both sides of the accounts.
News from Washington was anxiously
looked for, but none came until late in
the day, when an Associated Press dis
patch announced that the bond issue
would be declared tomorrow, or. at the
latest, Saturday, independent of the
action of the honse of representatives
OH the Springer bill. This intelli-
gence did not reach the street
early enough to have any effect
on the dealings, but the temper of the
market is such that nothing but official
statements are likely to affect the spec
ulation. Rumor and reports were idle
during the day, and there was nothing
i'll the situation to quicken the specula
tive pulse. The market opened in all
upward dire ectiou, the widest fluctua-.
tiOnS in the opening trade being loss
OF Is per cent in Norfolk d Western,
and gain Of a similar fraction in st.
Paul IL Omaha. During the rest Of tile
day prices moved a trlf1e one way or
the other there being not a trace of an
lmatlOn i'll the market and no settled
tone, the closing being dull and steady.
Compared with yesterday the final
sales show about an equal number of
decliues and advances, while several
stocks are much changed on the day. On
a purchase of 100 haresLouisville&Ne
clede Gas was in good demand and ad.
vanced 11s per cent Boston houses
were buyers of New England. Other
gains are: st. Paul & Omaha, Is; Kansas

Electric and Norfolk & Western COM

tionai Linseed, Sugar preferred, La

Paul and Rock Island g per cent. Rub
Der advanced q, and declined l per
cent. Notwithstanding the stagnatlon
prevailing in the share speculation,
fair number Of transactions were record
ed in the bond market. The bulk of
the sales, however, brought lower
prices. The sales aggregated 1854, 900.
The main declines are:

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE laying of
a cable to Hawaii was further discussed
in the senate today, but no conclusion
was reached and the item re mains as
stumbling block to the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill. The cable
project has been we'll nigh lost sight
of in the wide range of Hawaiian de-
bate. 1t is expected, however, that the
cable item will be voted OH tomorrow,
and from the tendencies shown by the
speeches the belief prevails that the
item will be adopted. All of the Re-
publican speeches have been favorable
TO the cable, and it is expected that the
entire Republican vote will be given
TO the ppropriation of S500,C00 to begin
the work. Several Democrats, includ-
ing Messrs. White, Morgan and Black
burn, and other Democratic members on
the foreign relations committee. are
favorable to the cable plan, although
certain of the Democratic senators op-
posing it as directly antagonistic to the
admistration policy toward Hawaii.

RIVAL FOR HENNEPIN.
Congressman Cooper Argues for
Il Canal Through indiana


WASHINGTON, Feb.7.-Representative
Cooper Qnd.) spoke to the house COM
mttee OIL railways and canals today in
support of the joint resolution for a
survey for ship canal to connect the
head waters of the Wabash with Lake
Michigan. 1t provides for a survey to
be made by a commission consisting of
two citizens of Indiana, one Of them a
civil engineer, and also of representa-
tives of the engineering department of
the army. Mr. Cooper stated that the
route proposed would be. 400 miles
shorter as link between the Great
Lakes and the Mississippi than
the Rock Island and Hennepin canal
and would have sixty days longer sea-
son free from ice in winter. The yarl-
GUS other ship canal routes between the
Ohio river and the lakes, he argued,
would connect with that river further
up than the head of free navigation.
The committee will report the TeSolu-
ton with a recommendation to appro.
pirate $4,000 for the survey. 1t was
decided to ask the committee on rules
for day to cali up its measure in the
house. If the day can be secured by
resolutions, the bills for surveys for a
canal from the Great Lakes to the nav
igabIe waters of the Hudson and one
from Lake Erie 10 the Ohio river will be
brought forward.

REILLY BILL UNPOPULAR.
Foreign Stockholders of U. p.
Would Pay Up Bonds Less the

interest.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. - The house
committee on Pacific railroads today
discussed the prospects of Legislation.
Chairman Reilly was directed 10 confer
with the attorney general and the secre-
tary of state as to whether any leglSla-
ton is necessary to protect the interest
of the United States under the existing
statutes. When the committee adjourned
a motion by Representative Kyle, OF
Missippi, to report the Reilly bill back
to the house was pending. Chairman
Reilly read letter from Boisseyain, a
Holland banker, representing the Dutch
holders of Union Pacific securities, who
appeared before the committee last sum-
mer. 1t contained an offer TO pay
to the government the prlhclc
pal of all government guaranleea
bonds of the Union Pacific as they tell
due and to furnish good guaranteers for
CARRYING out the plan II the government
will agree to it. There are about $34,
600, 900 guaranteed bonds OF the Unlon
Pacific. This proposition Drought on a
discussion of the plan to accept pay
ment for all the government-aided
roads on the same terms. This is the
plan offered as ii substitute for the
Reilly bill by Representative Turner
and one which Brice is said 10 tayor.
Some supporters of the Reilly bill in the
committee said they considered this
plan. as next to the Reilly bill, the best
opportunity the government had to re
cover its investment, but the opponents
of the Reilly bill objected to any propo-
sition to remit the interest on these
bonds, which will amount to more than
the principal. The consensus of opinion
in the committee seems that the Reilly
bill will not get another hearing from
this congress.

moderate gains,
Wheat opened firm at about sc over
yesterdays closing price. Liverpool
cablegrams quoted I'd advance at the
opening, with upward tendency. and
later reports confirmed the gain in price.
Paris opened rather higher than it
closed Yesterday and Berlin advised q
mark rise. The receipts here and else
where in the West were remarkably
light. The Cincinnati Price Current
said that interior wheat offerings
we're exceptionally light. The
total receipts at primary mar
kets were $1,000 bu, compared with
$4,000 bu week ago and $4,000 bu
last year. New York wired that there
was no demand for export and at the
Atlantic ports clearances amounted to
only 10000 bu in wheat and flour,
which were the disc0uraging features
of the days news. A private liquor
pool cablegram said that offers Of wheat
from Argentine were quite light. The
opening for May was at from 5414c to
54I@541lc, and before beginning the
decline, which finally left it at $3.50, it
touched 545sc, Business was not on q
heavy scale. although it was by no
means dull day in the pit. The weak
ness of New York and the light export
demand. combined with the drop i'll corn
near the finish, caused the decline.
Corn was up at the start and down at
the 6nlsh. 1t was entirely matter of
shorts, who covered freely at the OPEN
lug, causing the advance. When they
seemed to have all the stuff they wanted
there was liberal realizing, and the ad-
vance was more than lost. May opened
3sc higher at 455s, sold from 45c to 46c
and closed at 4514c. Light receipts aud
an advance at Liverpool aided in the
advance. Quite a lively session was
passed in oats, and general good BUS
mess was transacted. A few shorts
covered and some long stuff was closed
out. The course of the corn market was
followed. May selling from 9$49295c,
and theu to 2916@294c, at which price
it closed. Provisions were quiet. but
firm. The early strength in grain
helped the market at the start. and it
was sustained during the session by the
light hog receipts and higher prices for
live hogs. Packers were moderate buy
ers. May pork closed zoe, May lard 1Oc
and May ribs 719c higher.
Estimated receipts for Friday: Wheat.
