Though cares and troubles weigh ton

Ex-Presfdent Harrison the Attrac-
ton in the Supreme, Court.

tAoN HI the supreme court.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The su-
preme court room was the center of
attraction at the capitol today. The
news that eX-President Harrison would
appear drew thousands through the
mud and rain to the capitol, and for
two hours before noon the halls were
thronged and the doors besieged Mr.
Harrison appeared just after the mar
shall had called the court to order 1t
was his first public appearance in
Washington since he left the White
house three years ago.
Mr.. Harrison appeared as special
counsel in the case in favor of sus-
tanning the constitutionality of the
Wright act, representing interested
bondholders. The, regular counsel in
favor of sustaining the law were Judge
Rhodes, r. Percy Wright, of California,
and Joseph H. Choate, of New York:
r. III. Bond and George H. Maxwell, of
California
Mr.. Harrison entered upon his argu-
ment as soon as Judge Rhodes had fin
1shed. He stood at the table, and with
coat thrown back and hands plunged
at times into his pockets, at others rest
ing akimbo on his hips or pushed out
on the desk in front of him, he spoke
with an air of what might be almost
termed pugnacity, that is characters
tic of the eX-president His voice seem
ed weak, as he began, but it became
clear and firm as he proceeded. Mr.
Harrison summed up his argument
briefly and concluded at o'clock, hav-
ing spoken almost an hour.

tomorrow will say: An analysis of
special kilograms to Bradstreet's from
the more important business centers
throughout the country shows consid-
cradle irregularity in trade, the most
favorable feature being the tendency
Of staple prices to advance. The adj
vance of three cents in wheat again
raises the question whether the begin

depression of cereal prices has come
Supplies Of wheat for leading import
ing markets are now controlled by Rus
STA and the United States India as
well as Argentine's ability to ship Is
much restricted compared with pre-
Vlous years, and Australia left the list
or exporters when she began to import
wheat from San Francisco recently
Domestic wheat stocks are larger than
earlier official and trade estimates Of
1t, but the export demand has increased
so far beyond what was anticipated
and gives so much promise of being
continued that the bulls in the spec
ulative markets are counting on higher
prices.

Iotal exports Of wheat flour included

United States this week amount to
S,S49'00O bushels, as compared with
3,2o2,OO0 bushels last week: 284O. 900
Dusnels In the week one year ago; 2947,-
oOo bushels two years ago; 2,531, 900 BUSH

and as contrasted with 1851, 900 bushels
IN the like week in 1892 Exports of In
dian corn aggregated 1892, 900 bushels
thls week, slight decrease from the
week before, but more than four times
the quantity sent abroad in the CORE
spending week one year ago, nearly
twice the amount exported in the week
TWO years ago, four times that sent out
OF the country in the like week in 1898.
and about 100000 bushels less than in the
corresponding week in 1892.
There are fifty-two business failures
reported from the Canadian dominion
this week against seventy-four last
week, thus indicating large falling off.
But when contraSted with like weeks
in preceding years fifty-two this week
is seen to be an unusually large num-
Der. One year ago the total was thirty

Is so narrow. Cotton manufactures

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Bulk of New Loan Will Probably Go
to Syndicate Members.

Bulk of New Loan Will Probably Go
to Syndicate Members.
NEW YORK, JAN 24.-Bradstreet's
review of the New York stock market
says: Decidedly less consideration
was given the condition of the govern
ment bond issue this week. 1t is as
sumed that it will be somewhat over
subscribed, though the prevalent opin-
ion is that the bulk of the loan will
be taken by the same interests which
formed the defunct Morgan syndicate,
and that public subscriptions, So
called, will be scattering and relatively
unimportant The most significant
feature in this connection is the evil
dence afforded that the larger interests
among the presumable subscribers
have already prepared themselves, thus
decreasing the pressure to obtain gold
or greenbacks, and visibly relieving the
strain upon the money market. Gold
and legal tenders still command a
premium of ss@12 per cent, but the in
quiry has slackened, and transactions
are on smaller scale. The effort to
accumulate legal tenders suggests, of
course, that some of the bidders are
shaping their arrangements with a
view to obtaining their gold with which
to make payment for bonds from the
treasury itself. In the face of condi-
tons in the exchange market which in
duced the export of $2,500,00 gold to
Europe, all OF which was withdrawn
from the United States treasury, about
sl,15O,OO0 specie has come from Lon
don, and other amounts are said to
be on the way. 1t is evident that these
transactions involve the purchase O,
