BEST PRICES SCALED
Though the Closing Is Better
Than Saturdays.
STEEL HITS THE LIST
In a Break and the Close Is
Active and Weak.

New York. May 1.-The price move
ment in the stock market was extremely
irregular all day. The last prices Of the
day were higher than at Saturdays close
but the best prices Of the day were no
where maintained and there were wide
inroaGs made in some of the industrials
and specialties. The professional traders
were inclined to take a bearish view and
came down 10 the Street this morning
prepared to sell the whole list. They
were not deferred by the evidences Of
strength IN the London market, which
were due TO the progress Of General Rob
erts campaign and 10 the easier money
conditions. While selling the general list
the traders made fierce raids upon the
specialties. Sugar. Metropolitan, Peo-
pies Gas and Brooklyn Transit were all
subjected 10 attack and yielded from l
to over 8 points. The bears found. how
ever, that the heavy offerings to hqui-
date which were a feature OF last week
market were not forthcoming, and they
also found themselves in a numerous
company anxious TO secure stocks TO
cover snort contracts. BY bidding
against each other this company effected
a material rally IN prices. They then
paused in some discoura cement and con-
fusion. Some rather positive evidences
of strength at different points added 20
their difficulties. There was large buy
ing of Burlington all day at an extreme
advance of over , points. on renewed ru-
mors that plan had been perfected TO
refund the consol bonds OF 1893. The
movement helped the whole Granger
group. The efforts 10 bid up Missouri
Pacific were resumed with some success
and the Pacifcs generally showed good
rallies. The demand in the stock loan
department indicated that the short in
terest had become somewhat unwieldy
and the market overSold. The demand
to cover from that element Is the cause.
for the most part, Of the days show Of
strength In the late dealings while the
market was hanging in the unsteady
condition at the high level. the steel in
dustrials suddenly gave way all around,
Federal Steel and Steel and Wire losing
points and Tennessee Coal about 81.
Other members of the group showed
smaller declines. The general list gave
way under the influence OF this break
and the closing was active and weak
with the gains largely reduced. Fears
are felt that the easier money conditions
abroad are onE temporary. and dispo-
sition - manifest to curtaH speculation
until they become more settled. Clos
ing prices of stocks were as follows:

Washington, Jan. 27.-By an over

house refused to let Brigham II. Rob-
erts take the oath of Office, excluded
him from congress, and declared his
seat vacant. The scenes attending the

After the debate had been concluded,
and little parliamentary discussion

the ruling out of order an amendment

Iowa, changing the MAJ Ority. resolution

FIRE AT Kew YORK.
Seven Story Building Destroyed ut u Loss
of 100000

sS'eA ',toEy OulluAnS destroyed ut q LOA1
of 100000.
New York, Jan. 2o.-The seven
story building in Cherry street, occu-
pied by the Haywood Bros. g. Wake
ted Manufacturing company as q
chair factory, was destroyed by fire
during the prevalence OF fierce gale,
which made the work of the firemen
extremely difficult. When the fire
broke out there were about $50 men
at work in the building, who, however,
We're able to escape without injury.
The bursting of tank on the roof Of
the building, which precipitated 10000
gallons of water upon the fire raging
beneath 1t, generated SO much steam
that the walls burst out. Part of the
east wall fell upon the Gerrish ware
house and carried three tiremen with
it. For time it was feared the men
We're lost, but they were extricated
without either of them having sus-
tanned any material injury.
