The Orange Market Shows Some Little
Improvement
Tourist Travel Does Not Reach the Expected
Proportions, but Excursion Bookings
Indicate IN Early Increase

R. W. Burnham, manager for R. G. Dun

local trade conditions:
There is no material change in business
to report. In some lines it is - good as
usual at this season, but generally speak
ing, trade is not meeting expectations.
Money ID tight, rates unchanged. Bank
deposits keep we'll up. Collections are
still complained Of.
The orange outlook has improved some-
what the past week and shipment is being
resumed, though as yet not very actively.
Better prices are Offering at some eastern
points and no doubt in the next thirty days
the market will recover its normal condi-
ton.
The past month has not brought to our
city the influx of people usual at this time,
but excursion trains booked to arrive ind-
cate that February will show very mater.
ial increase of travel this way.

three failures in this district with liabilities

WALL STREET SPECULATION
Bond Dealings Attract the Attention of
Financiers
The Proportion Of Foreign Bids Is Regarded
rs Significant Of Continued Confidence
10 American. Securities

Associated Press Special Wire a
New YORK, Feb. 5.-The general i'm
preston in Wall street today was that Eu-
ropean flnancies cannot fail to be pro-
foundly impressed by the result Of the
popular loan experiment. The large per-
centage of foreign bids is very significant
in view Of the previous apprehension felt
as to the probable unfavorab,e effect of the
free silver manifestations of the United
States senate upon European sentiment.
During the forenoon the market dis
played hesitancy, which was reflected in
an irregular movement of prices and mod
crate volume of business. The official an
nouncement regarding the aggregate bids
and the average prices impaired actual
buoyancy to the market, prices advancing
all along the line on the execution of
heavy orders. More genuine commission
buying occurred than has been noted for
some time. and the wholesale covering
of shorts took place. About
two thirds of the transactions were
recorded during the afternoon session.
ST. Paul again led the entire market in
behind. The last named stock was
strengthened by the news of the German
bundersrath in favor of the increased
bounty on sugar exported from that coun-
try. Toward the finish call money rates
weakened and closed at 3 per cent. The
closing was animated and strong at about
the best prices. Tho favorable influences
bearing upon stocks were also reflected
in the bond market. The dealings amount
ed to $1,970.OO0. The government bond
market responded to the favorable news
regarding the latest government loan by
strength and unusual activity. The new
fours coupon rose per cent. A num-
ber of transactions were executed, ''seller
ten and twenty days. The aggregate
dealings were $4,000.

CHICAGO MARKET
The Days Transactions OF the Board Of
Trade

The Days Transactions OF the Board Of
Trade
CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-In wheat there was
good buying at the start by prominent
local trader whom the crowd had tried TO
follow of late, the selling evidently being
led by New York. Boom traders we're gen.
orally short over night and rushed to cover
early, resulting in the sharp advance. The
market had it's first impetus from the sur
prising strength of cables, the pool coming
steady in the face of 2-cent break on this
side Yesterday and was surprise to the
trade. There was also more Argentine
news and renewed talk of damage to the
crop there by rain was something Of
factor. Yesterdays cash business was no
doubt something of factor, the total foot
ing up to about 100000 bushels, and
good demand was also reported today. Ex.
ports were very fair at 348,0O0
bushels, of which 10000 bushels
WAS in flour, and this also added
to the strength. San Francisco
reported stocks at that point reduced
1,139,O00 bushels during January and
this was taken as q bull factor. Among
the bear influences were tho continued lib
eral arrivals in the northwest. Later in
the day the market was given further
strength by the reports from Washington
on the bond bids. The news gave the bulls
renewed confidence, but on the rally there
was considerable realizing, which caused a
fair reaction to set in. but was only of
short duration. as Bradstreet's came in,
showing reduction in the worlds avail
able supply of 100000 bushels last
week. For the same week last year
supplies were reduced $4,000 bushels.
Closing cables came I'D higher
and was also productive of some
strength. Corn was flrmer, largely in
sympathy with wheat and the small local
receipts. There was not much speculation,
hut some shorts covered. Oats were very
uninteresting from start to finish. Fluct,-
ations were narrow and influenced entirely
by the action of wheat. Provisions started
rather weak, but on the decline packers
bought largely Of May ribs, and that
steadied the market. With the rise of
latter half of the session at the close pork
was 21ac higher for the day, lard 215c
higher, and ribs 215c higher.

GREAT CREDIT
Is Due to the American State
department of State for Protection
Accorded During the Chinese Riots
and the Punishment of Criminals.

Washington. May 3.-A considerable
portion Of the forthcoming volume on
foreign relations for the last year is
made up Of the correspondence by mail
and cable growing out OF the anti-mis-
SiCnary riots in China.
The correspondence shows that the
greatest energy and yigOr was mani
tested by our officials. both IL Wash
ms on and China, in moving for the
protection of Americans in China and
for the punishment OF Chinese who had
been concerned in the riots. The main
facts have already been set out in the
news dispatches, but the summary OF
the efforts of the State Department by
Mr.. DENLY. cur minister at Pehng. is
interesting in which he says, after de-
scri0ing the complete success attending
the work of the American commissions:
TO the Department of State is due
beyond all doubt the credit Of having
broken through Chinese ObStinacy and
OF having automatically and without
menace brought about a result which
will constitute an era in the treatment
CT foreigners in China
Mr.. DENLY is also on record in the
correspondence as delivering a most
glowing report upon the American mis-
siCnaries.
Mr.. Adoo. who acted as secretary Of
state during the progress Of the riot
ing. and was in daily cable connection
with Minister DENLY, is also shown as
p0ssessed of the utmost energy and de-
termination in the effor, TO project the
