THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, Feb. 21.-As a result of to-
days trading on the stock exchange the
standard shares were generally off frac-
tionally while the coalers improved
materially, the advance in Jersey Cen
tral being about four points, while the
changes in the Industrials are mixed.
The specIalties and the industrials
showed pronounced strength in the
early dealings, then became feverish
with alternate displays of weakness
and strength. The continental and Lon
don markets showed some f1r1nness
after the early dealings partly influ-
enced by the bank of Germany's reduc-
ton in its rate of discount.
Commission house buying was large
in the early dealings but excepting the
industrial changes were not notable
Tobacco continued it's upward move
ment until a runor was disseminated

their short commitments could be ar
ranged without recourse TO the open

it lost. limitations that steamship mail

but fell off with the rest of the mar

Wheat opened rather easy, but became
firmer, and closed at the same price as
last night. Cables were considered dis
appointing, as Liverpool was only ss of a
penny higher at the opening, and lost half
cent before the close. The weather
map indicates the advance Of a cold wave
and that and the holiday tomorrow were
the main factors of strength today. Chi
cago and St Louis shorts were the buyers.
Bradstreet's weekly statement shows a
decrease of 1,5S6,000 bushels. Tennessee
reports severe injury to the wheat during
the recent cold spell, which serves as a
reminder that we are now entering the
critical period of crop damage reports,
which will become more numerous from
day to day Wheat was strong in San
Francisco and Minneapolis reported an
increased demand for cash wheat at
practically the May price.

but who was given to making very lengthy

Soon after it happened that the same

a DAsrNAnLE OUTRAGE.

The sentence OF the cour-martial
which tried the fnul.mouthed black-
guard, Brigadier.G General Charles P.
Eagan, was dismissal from the army.
But President Mckinley has seen lit
to commute that sentence to six
years suspension from duty; which
covers the remainder Of the time prior
to General Eagan'g retirement in jan
uary. 1905.
This action on the part OF McKin-
ley is simply shameful. II is m out
rage upon Justice. Had II poor devil
OF a private used The language to n
army officer that Eagap used to Miles,
he would now be serving a term in
Alcatraz or some other United States
prison, and would in addition be de-
priyed OF his rights of citizenship.
The sentence OF suspension dnes
not deprive EaGan OF any part of his
pay, but as the sentence reads with
out rank and duty" he loses only his
allowance, which includes commuta-
ton Of quarters, rations and fuel and
his horse allowances.
So that, while Brigadier-G General
Eagan will have no duties to perform
for the next six years, the people of
these United States will still be pay
ing him $3.50 per year, the salary he
before he was onrt-martia
ed. And, after January, 1905, he will
be an honored pensioner on the re-
tired list OF the United States army,
the recipient Of si,125 per annum, the
retired pay Of a Brigadier-G General.
That interference by Mckinney with
the decision OF the court-martial is
such a dumnable outrage on honest
and worthy army officers that Ian
guaRe fails to express how damnable
il is.
Algerian will yet give the death
blow to Mckinley il he does not free
himself from its snaky folds .-Sacru-
