PEDDLER KILLED AND ROBBED.
Throat Cut from Ear to Ear-Recepta-
Gle of the Body Placed on n Wharf
Near the East River.

NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-The body of a
man, with his throat cut from ear to ear,
and showing other marks of violence, was
found in trunk a pile of skids at the
bulkhead of Pier II, East river. just before
noon to-day. 1t was identified two hours
later by woman, as the body of Mayer
Weissberger, or Weissberg, an East Side
Weisbard. an East Side Hebrew, employed
by jewelry firm to sell jewelry on INSTALL
ments. The name of the woman who iden-
titled the body and the address at which
the victim of the murder had lived Capt
Titus, head of the detective bureau, re-
fused to disclose. Captain Titus declared
that the motive for the crime was robbery
and intimated that at least two men were
concerned in the murder
The crime was discovered by Policeman
Reilly, of the steamboat squad, whose at
tention was called to the trunk by some
longshoremen working or the pier. The
trunk had been lying on the skids for four
or five hours before the police were noti-
fed. 1t lay within fifty feet of the rear end
of the Old Slip Stationhouse, and in a
busy thoroughfare. The trunk was one that
evidently had been much used. II was
painted dark green, and was tied length
wise and across with a piece of ordinary
clothesline. There were marks of bloody
myers on the clothesline and a spatter OF
blood on the front of the trunk.

crime was committed in a house-presum-

that he left the place where he was en-

Horses.

UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS, Jan.
16--About AIS head of horses and mules were
received for the regular sale of Blair Baker
& Walter, against 800 the time last week
and nearly 500 the corresponding time year
ago. There was the usual variety of animals
but probably a larger proportion of chunks and
workers than last Wednesday There was the
usual number of common animals and few
choice but not fancy kinds in their class. There
was good attendance of buyers from Eastern
New England and Southern points. but the ex-
port trade was poorly represented, and there
was very little inquiry from foreign buyers for
any kind of horses. The ample supply had a
tendency to make buyers more cautious than
they probably otherwise would have been and
consequently it was more less difficult to
consummate sales. Nearly everything in the
chunk and worker line sold about S. per head
lower than last week. but good animals. suitable
for the Southern trade and the best coach and
driving horses, were about steady. There was
also an increased demand for horses to feed
and they brought satisfactory prices. There was
no change in the mule market. and the demand
was just about equal to the supply.

Wool.

BOSTON, Jan 1s-The American Wool and
trade: The past week in the wool trace has
been about as quiet as possible. There has been
no material increase In business here Mills
have shown any great tendency to come
around to the dealers terms. and on his part
the dealer feels that he Is not so pushed that
he must come TO the buyer and beg him 10
relieve him OF his load. An impression has gone
around that the American Wooden Company has
been making good-szed and frequent purchases
of wool since Jan i. some dealers estimating
the company's purchases in the millions one
report has been current around the market that
a million pounds changed hands last week. with
the combine the purchasers This can be
denied in the strongest terms and on the best
Of authority. The American Wooden Company
did buy a considerable amount Of wool month
ago. and bought 1t for delivery after jan
/. Hence IL is very easy TO see why they snouid
have been moving a considerable quantity OF
late They have been taking up, not buying
up. a considerable quantity or wool The fact
is that the buyers of the company did not make
a single purchase during the latter half or hst
week. and that their total purchases for the
week would not amount to half million pounds
London sales opened Tuesday, merinos
opening from to 1Ik per cent. up. cross-breds
per cent. up. Low cross-breds showed no
change and are reported 20 have barely held
their own. The sales for the week in Boston
amounted to 600, 600 pounds domestic and 19o 900
pounds foreign. making a total OF l,Il5,0oO
against a total of 1.71O.0co for the previous week
and n total of 2965,000 for the corresponding
week last year. The sales since Jan. amounted
TO T. S74. 600 pounds, against $685. 900 pounds Tor
the corresponding time last year.

WHEAT WENT OFF MORE THAN A

INTERPRETATIONS Dropped on the
Heavy Hog Receipts.

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-Weak cables and the
continued heavy movement were factors in
a decided slump which the wheat market
took to-day May closing 1iaGl%c lower.
Corn closed Vase. and oats isGoAc lower
Provisions at the close were l21sqlllRc de-
pressed.
May wheat opened isG9sc lower, at 1850
to 76ssc. mainly because Liverpool showed
full response to the decline on this side
yesterday. The crowd. however, was in
csined to keep keen eye on Wall street,
and a curb on their speculative desires
rather than on the legitimate situation. To
buying from this quarter is attributed the
bulge of a week ago. and to withdrawal
of this support is credited the recent de-
clining tendency of the market. Wall street,
however is still believed to be long, and
this combined with the stiffness Of some
local long lines. leaves the rank and file
on tenter-hcoks. At the opening some In
consequential selling by house suDpose'
to represent Wall street, brought out all
sorts of small stuff and May dropped to
76csN76lkc. Here the pressure eased. and on
reports of export engagements the market
gradually rallied to 1870. Attempted reaiiz-
ing showed how slack the demand has
grown. The decline caught stop-loss or
ders and the market, near the end or the
session, dropped sharply to 75Ac. The close
