There was practically reign Of terror

from Manila During the trip from
Nagasaki more than 1900 soldiers, who
had been discharged, became dissatisfied
at the treatment given them dehed tl.eir
former officers, and for time held p''s-
session Of the steamer. The time of tie
enlisted men expired while the Sheridan
was on the high seas, far from her des-
tination. Acting under regulations Of the
department, the officers secured the nee
essary papers, passed over the money
and mustered the 1856 soldiers out OF
the service. Then began a rumpus per-
haps never equaled on an American
transport. The discharged men cheered
wildly. Some threw their small arms

a disposition to kick" Some of the
men Were ordered to empty buckets and
to clean the officers quarters. They
told the officers that no man who wore

| NRW IDIk la month of vagaries in stock
------lyalues. Coincident with the
opening OF Congress there has ever been
let loose a Pandora's box of vile intiu-
ences. Last year was an exception. The
country had recovered from the depres-
sion of presidential year and business
was in full swing. In 1899 panicky con
ditions resulted from a season Of reckless
speculation and OVERCOMING of indus
trials. In 1898 the month was remark
able for strength Of stocks; 1884, the Gu
ban question. and 1896 the Venezuelan
message broke the market
Last week concomtant of influences
bore heavily upon the market. The open
ing of Congress failed TO furnish the eX-
peeted buoyancy The Presidents mes
sage was barren of harmful suggestions,
but the recommendation of the Secretary
of the Treasury for an assets currency
law created feeling of uneasiness and
caused many financial interests to act
with caution. At the same time gold eX-
ports were renewed and though the rate
of exchange weakened the conditions re-
manned unchanged and the fear OF re-
newal Wa s constant. The copper market
was full of uncertainties and the heayi-
ness of Amalgamated stock restrained
trading. Under these combined pressures
prices fell all week, with the exception
of a rally on Wednesday.
The rise in the price of wheat and cot
ton is considered hopeful sign for the
near future. and the increased prices
when reflected in the export trade are
expected to counterbalance the January
disbursements that will go to Europe.

The retirement of circulation shortened
the supply of funds. The demand for
money in Chicago as the result of the
heavy grain trading and calls from New
Orleans for funds TO move cotton and
sugar made rates stiff and ascending.

CHICAGO.

T, Whether justified or not
CHICAGO. by wholly legitimate condi-
ons0 tions. it must be admitted
that red-hot bull speculative fever is
at present raging in the grain and provis-
ion markets on change. Indeed, all the
markets appear to have but one side, that
the bull. Last week wheat prices adj
vanced 55sc per bushe, corn 4Ac, oats
41sc, pork 6215c per barr~!, lard 25c and
ribs 1I12c per 100 poul As compared
with prices current on year ago wheat
for May dealing is 93sc per bushel higher,
corn 324e oats quite 100 per cent high
err, pork $40 per barrel higher, lard
nearly Sc per pound higher and ribs about
2Ac per pound higher. If We should re-
duce all these advances to percentages
they might perhaps be more striking than
in giving them in gross.
Whether or not prices current for grain
and hog products are too high or too low
as measured by supplies of and demands
for each or in their aggregates the reader
must decide for himself. No one can
truthfully deny, however, that just now
these soaring prices are not due to any
immediate scarcity in supplies or to ex-
traordinary demands. Il is quite impos-
S4biCs Iut tiGt sHpICr Ipl hSoIC " hS NV
very closely jast how these supplies and
demands will stand in the relationship
one to another in the coming few months,
or between now and new harvests. 1t is
only natural wheat receipts should grow
smaller than they have been, aIa in due
time the visible should decrease instead
of increase. This occurs every year, for
it must be borne in mind the new crop
has been drawn heavily against for over
five months now. On the other hand,
corn and oats receipts are more likely to
increase than decrease.
The difference in prices cdrrent year
ago and now. as shown in the first para
graph of this review, means from 100
per cent increase down. The figures are
again given i'll the table below, which
shows the range of prices on leading com
modities in the Chicago market last week,
to which is added comparison with last
year:
