GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. March 2s.-Prices were in

OF todays market as the result of uncer-
tainty as to the course to be pursued by
the manipulated issues. American Sugar
was put through its usual elastic program
being depressed per cent before any eff
fort was made to force a rally
The interest in immediate higher prices
seemed to lag somewhat. and the later rec
Cgntuon Of the fact helped the entire mar
ket
The industrial list was active only in spe-
cial instances, the demand for the wire is
sues being perhaps the best. The common
stock of this company Is relied upon to be-
gin dividends during the early summer, and
present profits wotld seem to indicate an
ability to pay at least per cent.
Notwithstanding the very optimistic opin-
ions of inside interests, recent discrimina-
ton against industrial issues as class has
resulted in a very guarded acceptance of
apparently reliable advance information.
The low-priced railway shares were in
better demand during the morning, and
scored moderate advances.
Atchison issues, Southern preferred, St.
Louis and Southwestern and like proper
buying, which included moderate amount
OF commission house business. The
grangers. particularly Burlington, were
strong. and found ready market of a
character better than the average. The
excellent traffic returns from this group
OF securities has revived interest in sources
which usually make wise selections.
In market in which so much artifciaiity
IS employed 1t is easy to mistake the real
nature OF a demand, even for issues of
known value. To put up certain group
OF well-managed. conservative shares as a
means OF dfssuading sales of stilted indus
trials is not an entirely novel transaction.
Professional trading was conspicuous to-
day, Notwithstanding a better distribution

named.
The money market is acting quite nat
ural1y and occasional t1urries are now ac-
cepted as reasonably certain for the next
fortnight. The financing of new enter

will combine during that period to produce
sudden fluctuations in the interest rate.

LESS POWER FOR MILES
Important Order by the Secretary Of
War.
Settling a Controversy Regarding Au-
thOrity Dating Back to Jefferson
Davis and General Scott.

BY direction of the Secretary OF War,
Major General Miles has issued the follow
Ing general order to the army:
Ordered. That hereafter no chief or act
ing chief of staff corps shall be detailed or
ordered to any duty by any authority with
out the approval of the Secretary Of War
The order Of Secretary Aiger has been
issued to set at rest all question as to
whom is the supreme authority in the War
Department during the present administra-
ton. IT Is an old controversy, dating back
to the time when Jefferson Davis was Sec
retary of War and General Scott was in
command OF the army.
The last time the matter was brought
prominently to the attention of the country
was during the administration of President
Arthur, when Secretary Lincoln wrote a
very canstic letter to Lieutenant General
Sheridan. stating that the staff corps of
the War Department, with the exception of
the adjutant generals and the inspector
generals department, We're under the direct
control and subject only to the orders of the
Secretary of War.
The order Of Secretary AIger includes
those corps under the direct control of the
Secretary. Gen. Miles has held to the con-
structton contained In the letter of Secre-
tary Lincoln.
The probable cause of the issue of the
order was the action of Gen. Miles in ti
recting Inspector General BTeckinridge to
make an independent investigation of the
character of the food supplied to the army
during the Spanish war. especially beef.
and under which Lieut.. Col. Darlington
acting inspector general, has recently been
pursuing course of inquiry at various
points in the west
While Gen. Breckinridge was engaged in
this work, the Secretary ordered him to
make a thorough investigation Of the mill
tary camps in Cuba and Porto Rico, upon
which work he il now engaged. Gen.
Breckenridge turned the food supply inves-
tigation over to Lieut. Col. Darlington, and
he is still engaged upon it.
Although the order issued today Is not
considered retroactive in it's scope. it will
undoubtedly serve to curtaii the privileges
of the major general commanding in all
such ruatteri in the future
