CHICAGO-Lack Of short interest and
promise Of superintendent crops
throughout tho world caused q decided
slump In wheat to-day. July closed
2hG3hc lower and September lie.
Corn was nc higher and oats Ac lower.
Lard and ribs are &C higher. Pork de-,
cllned TIC. sf4
Z, AT the start In wheat there was more
or less covering by shorts, who in view
OF the holiday Monday and the nervous
condition of tho trade. seemed to be dis
posed to, even up. The demand from
that interest was responsible for the
early strength. but when buyers were
satisfied and withdrew trade became
sluggish. The bear news multiplying
and the bull interest getting no support.
the selling rush became aggressive and
vigorous and was pushed with such en-
ergy that everything was swept before
1t. Liquidation soon became as urgent
as tho short selling, the market getting
demoralized. The impression became
general that Letter had lost control and
was no longer able to resist the natural
course Of prices. There were no Liver
pool cables, but the crop news contin-
ued to grow bearish. st. Louis report
ed new wheat already In that market.
There was considerable reaction during
the last half hour, as the shorts showed
strong disposition 10 even up. Re-
ceipts at Chicago were 300 cars. against
II a year ago, and the total number re-
ceived this week has been 1877, OF which
1,062 were OF contract quality. Mime
apolls and Duluth received 537 cars.
against 4O5 year ago. Atlantic port
clearances were equal in wheat and flour
to 100000 bushels. July opened 1@1Ac

dropped to 81 OLE, then rallied TO 81 031S
01 04la at the close. September started
nc lower to &c higher at S4h@S5c, sold
down to S2Ic and strengthened to S3Ac
bid. the final figure May closed at 81 Is.
The weather was too wet for the good
Of corn. and there was some activity on
the part OF the bull crowd. When wheat
broke corn went with It,. but there was
complete recovery later. July started
k4hc higher at 33933Hc, sold down to
Sax 932Bc, rallied to 33tc,T then eased
Off to 33c asked at the close. The ;fluc-
tuatlon In corn controlled oats. July
opened unchanged at 24Ac. declined to
23Sc. rose to 24Mc, then fell of. to 24h@
24kc. the closing price.
There was some selling OF ribs and
pork through commission houses. Pork
was weak for a while. but rallied near
the close. Fluctuations in lard and
| ribs were inconsequential. July pork
opened SC higher at s1l 55@11 60, ad-

DRY Good.

NEW YORK-The week has shown
very irregular results In the dry goods
market None Of these has been entire
ly satisfactory, except the sales Of staple
cottons for export use. The bad
weather which has prevailed oil week is
the primal cause Of poor business. 1t is
reported that the consumption trade In
nearly all western sections of the coun-
try has been light. Out OF town jobbers
have felt this and have been very slow
buyers on this account. Local tobbers
state that they have been able to sell
goods In the more staple lines only by
means Of liberal concessions. The mar
ket for novelties. especially patriotic
ones, asbecn lively. In wooden fabrics
OF all sorts the market has ruled dull.
Print cloths are quoted at 15-1Gc, q per-
fcctly nominal quotation. Odd goods
have been sold with some freedom
through the week. Cotton goods have
been without feature, with the exception
of continued heavy demand for brown
shectings and drills for export purposes,

Seattle & International Passes From
Other Control Feb. 4.

Seattle, Jan. 29.-The Post-Intelligencer
says: Information of an unquestioned
nature has been given limited circulation
that General John H. Bryant, president;
Charles Powers, treasurer and secretary.
and M. S. Patton, chairman of the board
of directors of the Seattle & Information
al, have resigned, and that on February
the Seattle International will pass
into the operation of the Northern Pa
cific. A new board of directors has been
elected, of which President Mellen of the
Northern Pacific was made chairman.
This news was supplemented by the
statement that M. P. Martin, general
auditor of the Northern Pacific, with 9th
err officials of the road, is on his way to
Seattle to take charge of the Seattle &
international.
The Canadian Pacific will not be affect
ed by the change of ownership, as four
years more of its trackage contract with
the Seattle & International remains.

WITH THE STOCK GROWERS.
wyoming's Governor Talks ON Arid
Lands.

Denver, Jan. 27.--Chairman Springer
called the National Stock Growers con-
vention to order yesterday morning.
There was full attendance of delegates
A committee was chosen of one from
each state represented to draft constitu-
ton and bylaws. Among those on the
committee were j. D. Wood of Idaho, R. c.
Judson of Oregon, j. A. Smith of Utah,
Paul Mccormick OF Montana and w. c.
Irving OF Wyoming.
The first address was on Statistics as
to the Value of Live Stock, and Prospec-
tive Conditions" by ]. r. Neenen, editor
of the Drovers' Telegram, Kansas City.
He spoke enthusiastically upon the probable
effect of the Dingley bill, especially on the
sheep industry. He closed with the pre-
dietion of prosperity for the future.
Governor Richards of Wyoming next
spoke on "Cession of Arid Public Lands
| to States" He took the position that not
only arid but all public lands should be
given to the states. They would then, he
claimed, sooner be put in the hands of
actual settlers. Speaking of arid lands,
he said:
81 have come to the conclusion there
is but one way for us to work out our
salvation, and that is through the trans
fer of the lands to the several states and
then make it a matter of patriotism or
state pride to make the most of the dona-
tion."
Elwood Mead, state engineer of Wyom-
ing, spoke on "How Best to Prevent
Clashing Between Sheep and Cattlemen
on the ranges" He favored the leasing
of public lands and breaking up the
ranges as means of preventing the con-
slant warfare.

ADVERSE TO HENRY coRBETT.
Report of the Senate Committee on
Claim to OregOn's Seat.

Washington, Jan. 2s.-The report of the
majority of the senate committee on priv
ileges and elections in the Corbett case
has been presented to the senate by Sena-
tor Gallery. The commissioner recon-
mended that Mr.. Corbett be not given
seat in the senate. The Oregon legisla-
ture, the report says, deliberately refused
to perform any of the functions with
which it was charged, one of the most i'm
portant being the election of successor
to Senator Mitchell, and the presidents
are against the seating of an appointee
when the legislature has had an opportu-
nifty to elect. Senator Pettus concurred
in the report of the majority, but files
separate view.
Senator Hoar presented the minority
report, sstaining Corbetts claim to a seat.

THE PRESIDENTS BIRTHDAY
kilograms and Callers Poured Into
the Executive Mansion.

Washington Jan. 30.-President McKin
ley celebrated his first birthday in the
White house yesterday. The chief exec
utive of the nation is So years of age.
Telcg, ans of congratulation poured into
the executive mansion all the morning,
and probably the only sorrowful recol-
lections of the day were occasioned by the
fact that he could no longer, as he had
done for many years past, spend the af-
ternoon and dine with his venerable
mother.
President Mckinley is about the aver
age age among presidents in the first year
of their inahgurals. William Henry Har-
rison became president at 6S, Buchanan
at 06, Taylor GA, John Adams and Jack
son at 81, Washington, Jefferson, Madi-
son and Monroe, the Virginia presidents,
each 81, johnson Sc, Benjamin Harrison
55, Van Buren,, Hayes and Mckinley "a,
Lincoln 90, Tyler 81, Fillmore and Ar
thur, the New York presidents, so, Polk
and Garfield 40, Pierce AS, Cleveland AZ
and Grant 46.
All the members of the cabinet called
at the White house in the morning and
presented their congratulations, and the
ambassadors followed suit. Mrs. McKin-
ley was radiantly happy and received
many callers.

ASKED FOR A BATTLEsHIP.
Consul General Lee Wants a show
of support.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Despite official
denials it is learned that the sending of
the Maine to Havana was in direct re-
spouse to the demand of Consul General
Lee. Unable to secure from the state de.
partment the support he felt to be neces-
sary, Lee kicked over the traces just as
he did once before when Olney was secre-
tary of state.
General Lee telegraphed to President
Mckinley personally, telling him that two
German warships were in the harbor OF
Havana and another just outside-the OBJ
ject of their presence being to protect Ger
man residents. Lee begged the president
to give the same protection to Americans.
President Mckinley at once sent for Sec
rotary Long and Assistant Secretary Day
and within an hour orders were issued to
the Maine. Minister De LONE was sent for
and informed of the action, in which he
aequieseed. Fear of anarchy in Havana
prompted the action.
