the recent campaign has demonstrated
the absolute necessity of further as
Stimulating the condition of encamped
troops to the actual necessities of act
i've service, making the men, While in
camp, dependent for their subsistence
on the army ration to be furnished by
the state authorities on rations returns,
and cooked by the troops precisely
in the same manner as on actual ser
vice in the field. An organization or
dered to a state camp for military in
struction, relying on caterer to fur
nish the necessary food, can never ac-
quire that self-reliance which charac-
terizes the regular soldier in active
duty, for without previously received
instruction in preparing food, the nat
ural result when called into service
will be poorly cooked and wasted ra-
tions, which failing to strengthen the
physical man, make him liable to stom-
ach troubles incident to service in all
kinds of weather, under distressing but
unavoidable circumstances.
For this purpose including the issue
of rations and the purchase of field
cooking stoves and utensils, the annual
appropriations made by congress for the
support in part of the militia is totally
inadequate, and its increase, urged in
past years, has now become a necessity.
Officers who are sent as military at
taches are recommended TO be given the
rank of lieutenant colonel and major
while on such duty. He also recon-
mends that the pay of non commits

there be reorganization of army
bands which will secure the better class

New York. Jan. 3l.-To-day's stock mar
ket was more active and broader than ut
any time since the upward movement be-
gan but it was exceedingly uneven and
some prominent stocks in the list show
ed declines. The market ignored the heav-
mess of some of last weeks speculative
fayorites and other stocks were taken
up and pushed aggressvely.
Northern Pacific preferred continued its
remarkable advance and touched 80 dur
ing the day. Confident assertions that an
additional dividend was imminent accom-
panied the advance. Louisville was to
enjoy the advantage of the reports of n
funding plan nearing completion. The
strength of Pennsylvania was to be due
to the operations of IL pool, which are
based on the assumption that it has not
yet attained rise commensurate with
other trunk lines which are no better sit
uated
The sharp rise in Baltimore a. Ohio,
which at the highest amounted to rs, was
unexplained by any news of the day. The
strength in number of the industrial
specialtes, notably Tobacco and Leather
preferred, and the advances of some of
the high-priced investment stocks and
the strength of the coalers, due to the
prevalent cold weather helped to sustain
sorption of railroad bonds was an addi-
tional factor. The tone of the grangers
was heavy all day, with the exception of
Burlington which rose at one time over
II point, and of Northwestern & Omaha,
which moved in sympathy with the Van
derbilts.
There were several halts during the day,
due to taking of profits. and the trading
closed with a very general movement to
mend, which embraced all the strongest
and most active stocks, cutting down
their extreme gains i'll all cases.
Sugar lost nearly all of its early advan-
tage. London was both IA buyer and seller
in this market and Union Pacific and St
Paul felt the adverse effect of this SELL
ing. Commission house business was on II
very large scale.
Business in the bond market was on a

flicted by the Ole Olson performance
was lacerated. The Railroad Jack
company was greeted with good
house. The company had been we'll

pated. If the audience which was pres
ent that night had no other way to find
out about Railroad Jack other
than waiting for that company to ex-

Chicago, Jan. 31.-In wheat conditions

the influence of wheat was still apparent,
news decidedly favoring the decline which
took place.
May opened at 1854 d96c. recovered to

There was not much selling pressure. but
on the other hand there was almost
total lack of demand The market sank
from it's own weight.
Liverpool was very weak, and this had
more influence than anything else. The
80 p. m. quotations from Liverpool
showed n decline of I'D. and London was
reported equally weak.
The visible supply report, showing de-
crease of but 55l. 900 bushels was also a
disappointment. The market was steadied
about noon by the liberal clearanees, 5a,
900 bushels, May advancing to a55sc, but
after that the market ruled heavy. Late
i'm the session some selling pressure was
put on January. and the price of that
delivery, which had been nearly 81 .0sl2.
dropped to S1.03 on the selling of not
more than 1900 bushels. This weakness
was reflected in May, which closed at
