CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Continued liquidation

Although decided prevailed here
yesterday, the early Liverpool wheat quo
tations to-day came only Ad lower and con-
tinental markets ruled strong and un-
changed. That impaired a good deal of
confidence among traders here. resulting in
a firm market at the opening. May opened
sc higher, at 73A973Ac, and touched 1889
under the execution of a few scattered buy
ing orders. AT that point, however, liqui-
datiOn set in and started a gradual decline
that did not stop until nc was reached.
Chicago received ia cars. of which only
Z were graded contract. Minneapolis and
Duluth got COZ cars. as compared with S7
the corresponding day a year ago. The
worlds shipments during the week to Eu-
rope amounted to 7,S57,000 bu, with Russian
and Indian exports yet to be added. Aggre-
gate receipts at Western primary markets
were again on a liberal scale. amounting
to $4,000 bu, compared with 10000 bu last
year. Atlantic port clearances of wheat
and flour, exclusive of Newport News and

York reported that fifty boatloads had been
sold for export, while 1900 bu hard Kan

heavy -clearances, started a reaction and
May rose to 72sQ72Ac, where it closed.
Corn suffered a severe break on liquida-
ton by longs. Traders seemed to be thor
oughly discouraged and nearly everybody
took a hand in the selling. The lack of
confidence which became generally manifest
resulted from the continued heaviness in
wheat, favorable weather for the movement
and lack of outside speculation. Receipts,

319s03I%c. and declined steadily to 36%Q367sc,
which was the closing figure.
Oats shared in the weakness of the other
grains. The space between May and July
widened from 1sc to Ac by the liberal buy

The weakness of the grain markets exert

A DECREASE in TONNAGE
BAD WEATHER AND SHORTAGE OF
CARS CUTS DOWN TRAFFIC.
Earnings of the VandaIia Lines for
O. Are Not Cutting Rates.

The train records show thai there were
received and forwarded at indianapolis in
the week ending Feb. 4 a total of 25,OSO cars,
20,017 being loaded, which is go fewer loaded
cars than were handled at indianapolis in
the week ending jan. %, the decrease
being due to the severe weather three
days of the week, which more or less
interfered with the movement of trains
and was largely in local traffic, the
through movement being well UP with
that of several weeks past. In the
corresponding week of 1898 there We're
handled at indianapolis 395 more loaded cars
than last week, but, going back to 1897, an
increase is shown this year of 903 loaded
cars; over 1896, an increase of 1857; over 1895,
an increase of 5,777, and an increase over
the corresponding week of 1894 of $3.50
loaded cars. From the above comparisons
it will be seen that the volume of traffic is
largely in excess Of former years, 1898 ex-
cepted, when the Improvement in business
had become quite apparent. East-bound
there is an increase in shipments of corn
and the products of corn, but a decrease in
flour and produce. The shipments of pro-
visions are up to the usual February tom
mage, and there is a good deal of cotton
going forward. West-bOund the TONNAGE
of both high and low-class freights is
the heaviest ever known at this season of
the year, consisting of dry goods, staple
groceries, iron structural work and coal and
coke. Local business was the lightest in
many weeks. the cold weather having SEEM
ingly more or less curtailed business on the
wholesale streets and on Commission row.
AT the packing houses and stock yards bust
ness compared favorably with preceding
weeks, but the Touring and cerealine mills,
comparatively speaking, made light ship
ments. Freight officials stated on Saturday
that the last three days of the week there
had been an increased demand for cars, and
that but few roads could now furnish cars
as promptly as the shippers desire, al
though the car situation is much improved
over that of thirty days ago. There is plenty
of business in sight, which, with good
weather, will require every car and loco
motive to move it. Below is given the car
movement for the week ending Feb. 4, and
for the corresponding weeks of 1898 and 1897:

NEW YORK. Feb. THE significant change Of
the week has been in the market for print cloths.
which have been advanced to 21zc for extra o.
squares. Other lines of staple cottons have been
advanced. though not so radically as print cloths.
The demand has, of course, been small while
these changes were in progress, but orders pre-
viously received which had to be filled were OF
sufficient weight to keep stocks moving. The de-
mand for spring lines OF calico has been a severe
one. Cotton dress goods are in good, steady re-
quest at well-sustained prices. Ginghams have
held their own through the week. The wooden
and worsted goods market has been a steady one.
The opening Of the several lines of mems heavy
weights at advanced prices has helped the tone
of the market. but has had the effect of making
buyers cautions.

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUoM.
Week in Which Trade Fell Below E9-
nec1mtions-Pricea Firm.

In the week ending with Feb. 4 trade did not
reach expectations. which was largely attribu-
table to the weather. Three days of the week
were unusually cold for Indiana. During the cold
period the commission houses could not ship per-
ishable articles, and business with the produce
men was a little slow. Grooers had a very fair
trade, as did druggists, leather dealers and iron
merchants. The dizziness was but temporary, and
all wholesale merchants are confident that the
trade of the month will be handsomely in excess
Of that of February last year. In prices during
the week there were few changes. The provision
market was a shade stronger, as were articles in
the produce line, and some advances were made
in certain lines of cotton goods. Staple groceries
are very firm at quotations, except sugar. which
is unsettled. Note advance in potatoes the nrst
in many months. Oranges and apples very nrn.
The local grain market was quite active. Re-
ceipts Of the week. of corn were large and Of
other cereals light. The week closed with prices

CHAMBERS CRITICISED.
Cologne Gazette Takes Offense at His
 Letter to His Brother.

Berlin, February 21.-The Cologne Gazette today in an inspired article sharply criti- cises the recently published letter ad- dressed by Chief Justice Chambers. of Samoa, to his brother. The paper says:
 'The facts of the situation are that Ma taafa received fve-sixths and Malietoa Tanus one-sixth of the votes cast Tho election was conducted in strict accord ance with Samoan customs. Malieto Tanus was ineligible, according to Samoan cus- toms, as he is only IS years of age. Mr. Chambers, prior to the election recognized Mataafa's eligibility. All these facts MT. Chambers ignored when he declared Ma Hetoa Tanus elected. The declaration that Mataafa was ineligible comes Tn with par ticularly bad grace because 1t was the American delegates at the conference of 1889 who did not admit Germany's objec- ton to Mataafa."
 The Cologne Gazette then declares 1t to be wholly untrue that the German warship Fake supported Mataafa. The Fake 1t says, was strictly neutral. The Cologne Gazette further says 1t is untrue that Dr. Raffel, the German president of the mu- nicipal council of Apia, raised regiments to support Mataafa and calls upon MT. Cham bers to demand why Germany should leave Samoa, ''since Mir. Chambers own reports show the Germans have predomin- atlng interests in Samoa"

as one of the commissioners. Large bets had been made on him against the field, for his success has long been considered as as- sured.
 It was also generally thought that Judge Caffee would be one of the commissioners and the fact leaked out this morning that he would be appointed. This was just after Judge Caffee had held long conference with the governor. It was also generally accepted that Colonel Tomlinson would be the other but the governor never invited Colonel Tomlinson to the, executive office even to say that he could not be appointed. It has been evident for some time that certain railroad influence was arrayed be- hind MT.
