the cruel rocks awaited him. He drew
back toward the flames as far as he

WALL STREET.

New York, Feb. 4-With the excep-
ton of sugar, which ranked third in
volume of business, the railroad list
entirely outclased the industrials in
point of activity today. The grangers,
as a group attracted the greatest share
of interest. The dominating influence
upon the general market was the con-
Viction that the government popular
loan, for which bids will be opened at
noon tomorrow, will be an unqualified
success, both in point of extensive bids
and high average of prices. AS far as
can be learned bids from three New
York institutions will foot up nearly
500 600 600 without considering the
great amount of scattered bids here and
at the leading financial centers of the
country and the probable heavy bids
for European account. Some of the
foreign applications for bonds are
understood to have been cancelled since
the free silver victory in the senate but
it is believed the Withdrawals will be
made UP by demands in other inter
ests The market from the outset was
slightly depressed, but soon proved
superior to this influence, and also to
foreign selling in this market. Prices
recovered a determined drive at Mis-
souri, Pacific. The Changers, Sugar,
and Denver & Rio Grande preferred,
gained 1902 per cent, while less i'm
portant gains were scored in a number
of instances. The closing was fairly &C
tive and at the best figures.
The railway bond market sympatliz-
ed with the strength of the stock mar
ket, but the advances reached full
figures in only a few instances. The
aggregate sales were 81, 233, 900. The
bid prices for governments were adj
vanced sharply, especially for the new
fours. The dealings footed up $4,000.
Money on call firm at 5a7 per cent;
last loan 6, closed 6 per cent
Sterling exchange steady with actual
business in bankers bills at 4S7%t IS

such heavy and regular dividends; no
