WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing. Hopkins . Company's Review
NJ Trade.

Downing, Hopkins d Company's Review
Of Trade.
The important factor in wheat last
week was the large foreign demand.
A lesser influence was the appearance
of the July bulls as large buyers OF the
September.
The general view of the trade is that
the situation is favorable for compare
lively high prices. The fact that the
market has had within fortnight an
advance of 1Oc per bushel. and that the
new crop movement has not fairly
started to keep, however, an influential
party in the field. AS to the final out
come of the situation, it is remarkable
how close SPECTATORS are together.
Their differences are hardly more than
as to the time for an advance and its
extent.
Receipts of new wheat at Chicago are
away under last years. The big Kan
sas crop shows in the arrivals at Kansas
City. which, without being SO very
large, are good deal over IL months
ago, yet the foreigners have taken all
of this Kansas wheat they could get.
None of it is moving toward Chicago,
unless it is to 60 through to the other
side. The small receipts are more sig
nificant because July is 4c over Septem-
Der, an incentive to rush the grain here.
Furthermore, Chicago July is 1c and
/ &c over St. Louis, Toledo or Detroit.
The completed crop movement last year
developed that the 1895 winter wheat
yield was very much less than anybody
had assumed it to be. With July al
most ended the receipts this year at
Chicago are vastly less than last, the
weeks shipments exceeding the ar
rivals.
Our visible supply showed an in
crease of 1889, OCO bushels, and now
totals l7,8l4,O0O bushels, against 49,
754, 900 bushels year ago this time.
The foreigners took freight room in
two days last week for AS much wheat
as will be received at all the primary
markets in fortnight. It is certainly
nothing against the market that there
is clever active bull interest in it.
This has made it somewhat uncom-
Portable for the professional short
sellers. These latter have found out
that there was somebody to meet their
raids. The long line has not, however,
been large enough to be threatening,
and the tactics have at no time been
offensive. It looks as if the July would
60 out at moderate premium over the
September, and as if the campaign
would be continued through September.

CHAPTER III.
ARRESTED.

One day Maurice Hammond and Phil
10 Danvers spent amid the grandeur
and magnifcence Of st. Petersburg-a
day so vivid in contrast to the darkness
and gloom that followed that 1t will
ever remain undimmed in their memo
riea
In huge Russian sleigh. drawn by
three powerful horses, they drove the
length Of the vast Nevskoi Prospekt-a
boulevard more than 100 feet broad and
three miles long. The buildings were
huge, massive and imposing; the frozen
roadway was filled with sleighs Of ev-l
cry description, from the peasant 8 hum
BILE box on runners to the magnificent
turnouts of the nobility. The sidewalks
were thronged with foot passengers,
merchants, porters, civil servants, off,
GERS in long cloaks, ladies in Partisan
toilets, priests in flowing black gowns
and brimless hats, while over the hort-
zon rose gilded and painted domes and
countless Greek crosses.
Presently the great street merged in.
to the Court quay, marvellous high
way of rose granite, bordered on the one
side by the palaces Of the nobility, on
the other by the frozen waters of the
Neva.
Ivan, sitting like statue on the
front seat, points ont from time to time
places of note-the Winter palace, where
the car lives in regal state; the adjoin-
ing hermitage and the palaces Of the
grand dukes.
Now he inclines his hand across the
frozen Neva.
"The Fortress" he says briefly, and
with thrilling interest the boys gaze on
the bastions and towers Of that noted
citadel where unhappy prisoners lam
guish in their bombproof cells.
For hours they drove through the
streets, crossing and recrossing the sew
en- canals which appear in every dircc-
tion.
Turning back late in the afternoon,
they entered through massive arch
way the palace square.
A burst of music reached the boys
ears, and scene of splendor opened be-
fore them.
From the center Of the square tower
ed the shaft of red granite, the Alexan-
der column, and ut its base the band of
the Imperial guard was playing airs
from Offenbach. Mounted Cossacks
were keeping back the impetuous crowd.
"There has been review" said
Ivan. 1.-THE troops are returning"
He signaled to the driver, and as the
sleigh drew up before the imposing IA
cade Of the admiralty the head Of the
line, a squad Of the Imperial guard,
reached the archway. Close behind at
sharp trot came the Asiatic troops.

BZZLED TO SIBERIA.
BY WILLIAM MURRAY GRAYDON.

Trembling in every limb, he sank
back in his chair.
The Russian looked on calmly.
"Sit STILL" he added sharply as the
colonel made a feeble effort to rise,

to the table.

Colonel Hoffman threw himself into
his chair and buried his face in his
hands.

same cutting tones, II hold in my

He paused impressively and then add
ed: "But l have concluded to take no

Colonel Hoffman rose to his feet in
surprise.
"Do you mean it?" he cried. "Can it
be possible?"
"Be seated" added the Russian, and
the colonel obeyed.
For a moment or two Vladimir Sara
doff surveyed his victim with an inscru.
table expression.
When be spoke again, his voice was
unnaturally harsh.

the colonel s countenance. Then his an

assumed q crafty expression.

Ten minutes passed In silence, and
then Colonel Hoffman moved back to
his chair.
Every spark of color had fled from
his face, and in its stead was only an
ashen pallor.

Smiling pleasantly, the Russian flung
his coat over his arm and picked up his
cap.
Slightly touching the colonel's cold,
irresponsive hand, he bowed low in the
doorway and was gone.
Ten days later the New York papers
announced that Colonel Hercules Hoff-
man, the we'll known broker and finan-
cier, had returned from short trip
abroad.

Vladimir Saradoff leaned forward on
his chair and stared coolly in the face
of the American.
Colonel Hoffman breathed hard and
fast.
"Yes," said he, II understand. And
the double meaning Of his reply was

"Do so at your peril" said the other.

mothers face, her very features. But
how did you endure the long journey?
You must be terribly fatigued.
He extends warm welcome to Phil,
and presently Maurice concludes that
he was utterly mistaken in his previous
estimation of Vladimir Saradoff.
They dined informally in large
apartment that was marvel Of luxury
with its gilded decorations, and then
Vladimir Saradoff led the way back to
the library.
my dear Maurice" he began abb
ruptly, IAN unfortunate thing has hap
pened. Urgent business demands my
presence in Moscow. l am compelled to
forego the pleasure of showing you our
city in person. I shall start by an early
train and will be absent two or three
days. What I would suggest to you is
this: Remain here tomorrow and look
around st. Petersburg under Ivan's
guidance. Ivan Tambor is my trusted
servant who met you at the train to-
night. He has always accompanied me
and speaks good English. Then on the
following day he will escort you to Mos
COW, and there shall devote myself to
your pleasure. There is much to be seen
at Moscow"
The boys expressed themselves as de-
lighted with this arrangement.
Meanwhile, continued their host,
"you will find everything here arranged
for your comfort Ivan will see that
nothing is neglected. And now / oh
serve that you are weary and in need Of
rest. Pardon my thoughtlessness. "
He rang for servant, and the boys
were speedily ushered to another floor,
where luxurious bedrooms, not unlike
apartments they had seen at home,
awaited them.
Vladimir Saradcff, alone in his IL
brary, paced the floor with an i'll con-
cealed expression Of triumph on bis
features.
At last, seating himself at large
ebony desk, he seized paper and pen
and began to write rapidly. The first
letter completed, he sealed and stamp
ed it with colored wax and addressed it
to "Count Paul Brosky, Minister of the
Interior"
He at once resumed his writing, and
on finishing a second letter, half an
hour later, he sealed that in the san
manner and addressed it to Captain
Sasha, Commandant Of the Forwarding
Prison, Moscow"
He pulled a bellcord, and Ivan Tam
Dor speedily entered the room.
Vladimir SaradofY handed him the
letters
"Deliver this one immediately" he
said, designating the letter first writ
ten., "Let the other 90 by the early
mail. You understand everything,
Ivan?"
Eyes, your excellency," replied the
Russian. Nothing shall be forgotten. I"
And saluting his master he left the
apartment.
Overhead, in the soft, luxurious beds,
the two boys slept calmly, little dream
ing of their hosts perfdy, unconscious
of the fatal import of those two letters
that were even now speeding to their
respective destinations.
In Russia deeds are possible that no
other country on the globe would toler-
ate.
With bis wealth, his standing at
court, his influence with high officials,
what could not Vladimir Saradoff ao-
complish if he willed?
In the dark days Of Ivan the Terrible
no viler deed was ever conceived than
this aristocratio Russian so coolly per-
petrated that night.
