Conditions Shown by the Dealings on
Wall Street

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Trade in stocks
today was of small proportions, even for
the days brief session. The market gen.
orally left off with steady tone, with a
slight recession in values.
The stock market for the week in most
cases has resulted in a fractional decline.
The favorable factors in the situation out
numbered the others, although the lis
turbing features were regarded as of
greater importance.
Among the grave affairs in the situation
from the speculative standpoint were the
New England cotton strike and the pos
siblities in China, Cuba and the consldera-
ton by the senate of the resolution that
government bonds may be paid in gold or
silver. At the same time the foreign mar
kets were overshadowed by the possibility
of the European powers becoming en-
broiled over China. On the other hand,
there was much to justify an optimistic
view on prices. These We're satisfactory
trade conditions, immense increases in rail-
road receipts. large exports scarcity of
failures in the commercial world easy
money and the fact that over four-fifths
of the Illinois Centrals $l5, 900 of bonds
had been taken for domestic account.
Money continues to gravitate here from
the interior of the country the banks
gaining over $4,000 last week.
The bond market for the week displayed
a striking degree of strength in special
cases. which embraced lines of companies
operating in the Pacific northwest. Some
interest was attached to the speculation
in Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern firsts
owing to the fight for the control OF the
property by two leading railroad systems,
which was reflected In an enhancement of
1874 in the price of issue. The transac-
tions for the week were s20.271 900. Gov
ernment bonds ruled at slight recessions

CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects Of the Trade in
Cereals

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Trade started brisk
at an advance for May wheat of ss of a
cent bushel and about as much in July.
Half an hour of moderately active trading
sufficed to bring the price back again to
Yesterdays closing figures and for some
time thereafter business almost ceased.
The Liverpool wheat quotations were I'D
to Nd higher. This and the absorption
by the Letter party of all the "calls" Of
fered yesterday afternoon were the only
features of news which even mildly inter-
ested spectators, and was not enough to
inject any activity into the market. The
shipments of wheat and flour from both
coasts for the week were equal to 2S26, 900
bushels, against 2,22s.OO0 bushels the pre-
vious week.

ONLY A WARNING
That Is What Justice Morrison Says
of -Hitching Fines

One dollar was the ruling price set by
Justice Morrison yesterday upon viola
tions of the hitching ordinance, or
rather that was the price he charged
the violatOrs of the ordinance in the
form of fines yesterday. The exchequer
Of his department was increased to the
amount Of $40 from these collections and
there are several more dollars coming
from defendants who are yet to be sen.
fenced. There were eleven cases of or
dinance violations in the police court
yesterday. Two defendants had their
sentences deferred but the other nine
were fined and paid their fines. All
were charged 81 each except j. w. Rob-
inson, against whom the price was doub-
led because his horse was left standing
for nearly an hour while the others just
exceeded the time limit of twenty min
utes.
M. NJ. Potter, one of those who were
caught the day before, was not in
court. The case was tried, however,
and he was found guilty. He will have
to appear for sentence Thursday. A. N.
Davidson asked that his sentence be
deferred and he was also given until
Tuesday. The others who were fined
were: E. Wood, G. Herget, H. e. Mem
ory, D. Smart, J. Eckstrom, Charles j.
Ball, P. r. Shilling and John Newell.
Justice Morrison asked each of the
defendants whether they had ever been
arrested on that charge before. Sew
eral of them promptly stated that this
was the first time they had been arrest
ed on any charge. "These cases cannot
be considered as arrests for a heinous
crime and do not think they will here
after be used as a reflection upon a
mans character. The purpose of these
prosecutions is more to prevent a repe-
tition Of the violations of the ordinance
than to punish those who happen to be
brought here" said the court.

Money In Bank

NEW YORK. Jan. 22.-The weekly bank
statement shows the following changes:
Surplus reserve, increase, $1,000, 425; loans,
increase $12, All 500; specie. increase, 81, ,00S,-
600; legal tenders. increase, $9.012, 800; de-
posits, increase, $22 $50. 800: circulation, de-
crease, $497, 700.
The banks now hold s31, ,275 200 in excess
of the requirements of the % per cent rule.
The Financier says: The extraordinary
increases in the principal items of the bank
statement for the week ending JAN 22d,
which is in q measure unprecedented con
sidering the short space of time required
to send figures to the high limit attained,
are not all mysterious. An anaylsys of .he
holdings of individual items of the banks
for the past week reveals the fact that al
though one bank gained 1900 900 in depos-
its and was apparently able to loan 1t all,
the greater banks, with few eXceptins.
show heavy gains. The expansion of $12-
All 900 in loans. of course, tends to swell
the deposit item, and with the $ll02l 400
increase in cash. accounts for the deposit
gain. This money is coming from the in
terror for the most part and. while a
larger quantity than usual is going into
commercial paper, the bulk is loaned on
the street and perhaps on sterling loans.
All the items are above any heretofore re-
corded, but it should not be forgotten that
the treausury statement has large special
deposits in the banks as a result of the
Union Pacific settlement and the with
drawal of this money may be expected
soon. Its Importance as a factor in the
market is not to be underestimated. New
York banks. even with investments in for
eign credits, will probably have difficulty
in putting out the funds now accumulated
here. and there is apparently no reason
for leaving government deposits in the
banks Never before has the situation
presented so many conflicting features.
but stripped of ambiguity the strong po-
sition of the United States is clearly re-
vealed. This country through its heavy
trade balances and the entrenched posi-
ton of the treasury can, il it is SO disposed
regulate the price of gold for the world
for some months to come.

Advance weekly reports of earnings, not
to mention Independent reports of good
trade and large business done in December,
naturally prepared the way for very ia
vorable report on gross railroad earnings
for the closing month of last year and for
the entire calendar year 1897. OF course
nothing like the phenomenal gain of last
November was shown either in volume or
in percentage for the month of December
but the increase over year ago was a
very respectable one, and with two excep-
tions, those of November and September
1897, was the heaviest reported in any
month last year.

food The larger number Of families spent
more han they really could AFFORD for food
and yet frequently received insufficient
nourishment. The question how these peo-
pie could have obtained more nutriment
for the money expenditure Is answered
only in the most general terms.
1t Is suggested that one Of the best and
surest ways to improve the condition of the
poor is to give them practical instructions
tractive yet simple and cheap foods. The
subjects upon which the women should be
instructed include lessons upon the best
and most nutritious food materials and
those best adapted in point Of cost and ease
of preparation to the needs and circum-
stances Of the family, and instruction such
as shall enable the h~ousekeeper to prepare
simple. wholesome and palatable dishes
from such food.
