New York, October 25.-There was the usual
scarcity of mail in the dry goods market to-
day. but tho store trading continued fairly
heavy. The visiting buyers have been in
greater numbers today than recently. Tho
reports from dealers from all sections have
been OF backward season. but the prospect
OF cooler weather has aided store trading To-
eally, me gains were chiefly In cotton goods,
the situation In woolens so far being still
an unsteady one. The market fer print cloths
was reported firm, with small sales of extras
ohlv stable cottons were quiet in most
grades. The demand for domestic oonsump-
ten was reported to be fairly active Export
lines OF brown shsetngs and ducks were In
continued fair request. the exports during ths
past week were fairly heavy.

DISORDER THROUGHOUT SPAIN.
The People Are HowIinG nnd Fight
ing Against the Government.

Madrid, May 9.-Disorder in the Span
now broken out at Cadiz and Alicante
and the trouble is expected to spread to
parts of the country which have hitherto
been quiet
At Martos, men, women and children
have been parading the streets crying
Death to the thieves!'
Serious rioting occurred at Linares yes
terday. The mobs attacked the town
hall, tore out the windows and threw
everything movable into the streets.
Conflict between the civil guards and
rioters resulted, it is said, in the death
of ii people, 60 wounded. Renforcements
were asked for.
Later the mob made another attack on
the town hall and routed the civil guards
The rioters were well supplied with am
munition and kept up hot fire, at the
same time yelling down with taXesl"
Serious disorders occurred at Bronos,
at which place the village priest was
stoned to death. The latest report says
the fighting is still in progress.
The political situation here is unchang-
ed. Everybody appears loath to as
sumo the responsibilities of assuming of
fee under the existing condition OF af-
faIs.

listers have placed their portfolios in the

ANOTHER CALL IN FEW DAYS.
More Washington Volunteers VIII
he Asked for.

Olympia, Wash, May l0.-Governor
Rogers when seen yesterday said:
II am in receipt of a large number of re-
quests from patriotic citizens who desire
appointments in the military service and
from others who desire to be commission
ed with power to form companies to be
afterward mustered into the national
guard of Washington. 1t has been my
intention to reolganize the guard just as
soon as the first Washington volunteers
have been called into service and military
material is obtained from the United
States, in lieu of that which the state
will furnish in the present emergency to
the first Washington volunteers.
'The design has been to fill a second
call, should one lie made, from the guard
so organized l am, however, in receipt
today of the following telegram from Con,
gresham Lewis:
Please inform any of the guard omit
ted from the present selected quota that
the secretary of war assures me new
quota will be sought from Washington
in the next call. This will be in 10 days
"LEWIS.'
wv hle l have no further information
regarding the second call than is con
tanned in the above, l will say that should
call be made within the next 10 days il
must be largely filled from companies yet
to be organized. Parties who desire to
form companies upon volunteer basis
can do so, and if the president makes
a call upon the governor for more troops
these will be selected from the companies
so organized. Address all communica-
tions on these matters to Adjutant Gen
eral j. E. Ballaine, Olympia, Wash"

Orders to Illinois Troops
THE FIGHT OFF MATANZAS.
Dupont and Hornet Had Brush
with Batteries.

Key West, May THE torpedo boat
Dupont came in tonight and reported a
sharp engagement off Matanzas last night
and this morning. The Dupont and aux
iliary cruiser Hornet were cruising near
the shore last night and when about 600
yards from land, were fired upon by a
body of cavalry about 200 strong which
was spread along the shore on the look
out for fihbusterers. According to the
Dupont's story both vessels returned the
fire, scattering the Spanish troops and
then bOmbarded the Matanzas fortifca-
tions. There were in the nature of sand
blockhouses, nine i'll number The bonn
bardment lasted from 4 o'clock to $3.50
The Dupont men say that their shells
toppled over the barbados in course of
erection and they are sure that many of
the Spanish soldiers were killed as they
afterwards saw wagons taking away dead
or wounded. The survivors fled to the
hills.
This morning the Matanzas fortifca-
tions opened fire, sending three S-inch
shells at the Dupont and Hornet. They
were lineshots but the boats were out of
range. The dupont and Hornet then re-
sumed the bombardment and continued
it until $3.50 o'clock The Dupont men
think they have efTectually silenced what
the big fleet left of the Notifications there
and that in the two engagements the
boats fired about 200 shots.

The BIG JUMP IN WHEAT
LIVERPOOL WAS THE LEADER.
The Market Opened with an Adj
vance of From Fourteen to Eigh-
teen Cents-Home Markets Re-
sponded-Exciteme I'm the Pit
mt Chicago

Chicago, May 9.-The Liverpool wheat
market today excelled all previous efforts
at startling advances by opening I'd high
er for May and I'd to Cd up for July,
compared with Saturdays closing. That
set the Chicago wheat pit into a situa
tion of nervous excitement at the opening.
All sorts of prices were paid for July,
simultaneously in different parts of the
pit. ft was impossible for few minutes
to get an idea of what price was FREEDOM
mating, but after a while the opening
range, as near as could be found out,
was given at from 81 .093 to 81. l03. Trad
ing between these limits was enormous
for two or three minutes, but buying or
ders without limit to price poured in from
outside, and the price leaped upward in
great bounds, touching $l.l4 for an in
slant. The market rebounded to 81 .ll3.
The shorts saw that their only chance to
recoup was by doubling, and price was no
object. Up shot quotations again, touch
ing 81 10, 10 minutes after the opening.
Another reaction to 81 l35 followed, but
offerings were greedily absorbed and the
market gradually settled down around
81 10.
Trading in May began at an Sc ad-
vance. Letter sold at 81 10, causing a re-
action to 81 10. After a rest briefly at
81. 10 the buying was renewed A wild
scramble of European nations for Amer
lean breadstuffs was shown by the an
nouncement of fresh bids to Letter for
100000 bushels of red wheat. Up to haze
close he had not accepted the offer, but
reported other sales of $4,000 bushels to
90 abroad.
Liverpool at the close showed gains of
cd for spot and 2s@9d for futures. Paris
and Antwerp accentuated the European
shortage by advancing sc each. Near the
end of the session the offerings became
scarce and July reached 81 81, easing off
at the close to 81 2Of September, which
sold early at soc, was rushed up to 95c
and closed at &c net higher at 9f4c No
failures were reported on change, but
margin calling was sharp.
Corn was active and shorts covered
freshly, with the strength of wheat as an
incentive. May gained 2sc, July &c.
Oats was neglected, but on moderate
covering advanced about lc.
Provisions did not share to any extent
in the grain excitement. Packers sold
moderately at the advance Closing prices
showed advances of 25c in pork, 279c in
lard and 2Jc in ribs
