FINANCE AND TRADE.

NEW YORK, October 1.-The Com
mercial Advertisers London financial
cablegram:
The markets here were more cher
full to-day and remained so all through
the session, closing at the best. There
was heavy bear covering on contradle-
tory rumors, some hoping for peace
from Mr.. Hofmeyers visit to Pretoria,
others, accepting the war story that
the British have entered the Free State.
Both reports are read bullishly, how
ever. as implying the end of the IN
certainty. 1t is remembered that
Americans rose when the Spanish war
began. Consols were 103 for money,
103ss for account
Americans were good throughout,
being supported early on orders from
New York. They closed at the top.
Money was quiet though bills were
shade harder for three months 1905.
The Bank of Netherlands has raised its

Stocks-To-day's stock market was
Many railroads show net gains of near
ly point and few exceed that figure.
A number of the active industrials
gained to 8 points to-day and Pull
man closed five points higher on the
day. There was an appreciable relax
alton in the stringency Of call money
and the speculative contingent express
ed hopes of easier conditions at an
earlier period.
This, combined with excellent traffic
returns from railroads and the gener-
ally prosperous conditions OF business
to part with securities. Offerings were
on a very light scale all day. in spite
of the continued high rate for money
up to delivery hour. Borrowers salts
fed their needs early in the day and the
rate fell to per cent towards the close
of the market. This invited a rather
active buying movement in the late
dealings and in some cases there was
an urgent demand from shorts causing
some sudden jumps in prices. The
closing generally was firm, though
slightly below the best.
Sterling exchange at Paris and Ber-
lin made an additional advance to-day
to near the gold export mark. In New
York rates for sterling were steady.
Money continues to move from New
York to the interior in quite large
amounts, but the outgo to the sub
treasury is somewhat diminished. The
October taxes in New York, which
have been paid with unusual prompti-
tude, are finding their way back into
the banks and a plan is reported to
redeem at once in advance of maturity
about S12,000,000 of New York bonds
issued in anticipation of taxes. With
the prospect Of some relief thus offered,
the continued stiffness of the money
rate was not much regarded in the
stock market. 1t is net expected, how
ever, that money viii work to an easy
basis for some time to come. Six per
cent is bid for time loans, but very
little is offered on those terms
The bond market was dull but firm
in sympathy with stocks. Total sales
par value $1,325, coo.

DOMESTIC MARKETS.

WHEELING. October 4.
Owing TO the early frosts produce
is quoted decidedly sharper and md from
the week will see the quotations
even higher. Green beans are out
owing TO the cold weather. New Malaga
lemons at $3.50 per crate and ounces at
$4.25 per Dbl. are the new arrivals on the
produce market. There IS no radical
change in the grocery market this week;
the prices remaining the same as quoted
last week but -four is decidedly higher
In live stock the hog market is higher.
The increase is explained by the fact that
the retail butchers have begun TO do their
own killing and the wholesalers are buying
in the supply to cut the retailers Off. The
market at present seems TO be STEADY al
the present prices.
The grain market remains the same as
quoted last week.

I'iHE SPRING FRESHETS.
The Ohio at Cincinnati Shows q
Fifty-six Foo. Stage.
FREEZING INCREASES DISTRESS.
In West Virginin's Cnpitat, Though the
Waters Are Reccdlng, There Is Much
suffering From Lack of Food and
ruei--Few Fatalities Reported.

Cincinnati, March I.-Fitty-six feet Is
This is beyond all eXpec.ati ms warrant
ed by the information at Land Sunday
night. The rainfall in the limited sec
ton of the Ohio watershed south and
east of the Ohio river wa much greater
than any one expected. The rate of rise
at this point is about three inches per
hour. This rate has been maintained
for more than 24 hours.
Reports from above show that the
Monongahcla and Allegheny are sta
tionary. At Brownsville and Morgan
town, near the hcadwatcrs Of the Monon-
gahcla, where the great supply came
from to make the food in that river. the
waters are falling, with IL feet at Nor
gantown and nearly 23 feet at Browns
vile.
AT Wheeling the stage is 26 feet Fur
thcr down the river at Parkersburg, w.
Va. the river is stationary. At Gal
lipolis it is IL feet, and rising slowly,
AT Portsmouth it is "a feet and 10 inch.
es, and rising two inches an hour. TAX
ing the Portsmouth stage as an indica-
ton in connection with the condition Of
the river at points above up to Parkers-
burg the indications are that the max
mum stage reached ut Cincinnati will
he 30 and possibly 60 feet, provided the
floods are not increased by iurthcr rain
fall.
Damage by flood in the cities on the
Ohio SO far reported are slight. At
Huntington. W. Va. where th' stage is
52l, feet, two barges Of coal we're sunk
in the Guyan and thousands Of sawogs
were washed away. At Portsmouth
cellars and factories are flooded on Front
street. while on Mill. East Front and
Jackson streets many people have been
driven from their dwellings. Very lit
/ tie interference with business has bee,
! experienced. The stage in the lower
| Ohio is such that no more coal will gc'
away from the fleets in harbor at Louis
vile until the food recedcs.
At Cincinnati the business men in the
lowlands are removing their goods from
cellars. No dwellings have been dis
turbcd except two tenement quarters
Should the river reach 30 or 90 fee,
some business houses near the rivel
will have to remove their goods to tn,
! second story. No railroads at that stage
will be prevented from running rcgula'
| trains

Snowbound Passengers.

Cheyenne. Wyo., March All trains
on the Wyoming division Of the Union
Pacific are again tied up. The tract,

ncwcd the blockade. Not Il wheel is
turning today on the division. A dis
patch from Superintendent Rasbach, in
charge Of the snowbound passenger
train on the Cheyenne and Northern,
says he has killed steer from the range
and obtained supply of -four. thereby
supplying the imprisoned passengers
with ample food until relief train can
reach them. The relief train which
started out Sunday returned yesterday
having opened the track 20 miles. and
went ont again with larger force OF
shovclers.
Four passengers who left the train on
foot at Iron Mountain on Friday reached

in Saturday nights blizzard, in which
they wandered from the track and nearl!
perished. All were badly frostbitten

Masked Robbers Secure $500.

Hagerstown. Md, March 1.-Fivc
masked robbers entered the house of
Miss Eliza Waltz, an aged maiden lady.
near Cavetown. along the Western Mary
land railroad. about seven miles from
this city. at o'clock in the morning. Sc
curing $500 in cash, and escaped. Miss
Waltz and boy named Hoffman, aged
10 years. were the only persons in the
house. The robbers broke in the door
with a fence rail and tied the hands OF
Miss Waltz and the boy in their beds.
A bolster was placed over the ladys
head to prevent her from making noise
or seeing. The robbers ransacked the
rooms, cutting open the beds with knives
in their search for the money. which
was finally found in Il bureau drawer.

It Makes Him Outrank All the Gem
erals Of tho Army.

erals Of tho Army.
Washington, March 4.-The news Of
confirmation by the senate Of George
Dewey as admiral Of the navy and of
Elwell S. Otis as major general by bre-
vet in the regular army was promptly
eabled to those two officials at Manila
yesterday. with the congratulations OF
the president and Secretaries Long ana
Alger.
The special act making Dewey ad-
miral of the navy increases his cmolu-
ments from $1,000 to $4,000 per an
mum. 1t is said that he will Outrank anv
officer in the United States army. the
fact being that the rear admirals, OF
whom there will be Is, will rank with
the major generals. who are the highest
officers at present in the army.
As the naval nominations were sent
in yesterday they were based on the
standing of the officers in the old regis
ter, and no account was taken OF the
effect of action or non-action on the par.
of the senate on the many naval nomi-
nations then pending before that BODY.
Thus i'm the list OF rear admirals sub
mittcd. Is in number, Schi"y stands two
numbers in advance of Sampson. This
is precisely his relative position on the
existing register. though had the sen
ate confirmed the nominations OF the
two officers to be rear admirals ms they
were specially submitted by the prcsi'
dent Sampson would stand two numbers
ahead of Schley. The recommendation
of the president. however. was not fol
lowed and both are rear admirals, with
Schlcy two numbers in advance.
