DIDN'T EFFECT BUSINESS.
Stocks observation-disclosures
on Failures.

New York, Feb Or g. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade, issued
today, said in part:
More seasonable weather iii the
east has brought UP the volume OF
business in retail lines a little this
week, and at the west and south dis
tribution of merchandise is ON a sat
isfactory scale Prices of staple
products show but moderate decline,
and quotations Of manufactured
goods are steady In all directions.
Pressure to sell is everywhere con
speuously absent Jobbers = report
good orders for spring goods, partic-
ularly for the western trade, aud the
only complaint still comes from the
wooden goods market IN the east,
which has not yet felt the expected
stimulus. In this line, however.
prices do not decline and agents ex-
peet better conditions.
Large operations in the stocks of
leading steel companies do not effect
the volume of business or the prices
of their products as yet, and proba-
bly, will have no material influence
on the future Quotations will have
no material influence in the future.
Quotations will depend on the rela-
ton of supply and demand, which at
present gives an undertone of great
strength This is most evident in bill
lets which cannot be secured at the
pool price While former quotations
are nominally in force, it would re-
quire a material advance to secure
contracts. Structural forms are also
in notably brisk demand, and it is i'm
possible to secure prompt delivery of
any finished steel at Pittsburg. Chi
cago makers also have orders far
ahead and at all leading points the
placing of new business is limited to
small contracts. Bessemer pig is firm
at the recent advance to $3.50, al.
though no large sales are reported.
Gut nails have followed the advanc-
ing 81 per ton, while many other
forms are expected to be pua on a
higher level when producers meet
Textile industries do not revive ap-
probably, even the lower tempera-
ture failing to infuse life into wool
ems, aside from better retail dealings.
Manufacturers make small pur-
chases of raw material, showing pref
erence for the cheaper grades, and
even then insisting on small conces-
sions. London auction operations be
came less satisfactory as the sale pro
crossed.
Wheat fell below 80 cents, ample
snow affording the desired protection
in winter wheat states, while the
chief support was a better inquiry on
foreign account, including moderate
purchases for Spain. Atlantic ex-
ports for the week, including -four
were 2,S74,111 bushels, against
2,247, 402 bushels in the week pre-
ceding, and 2.115.S75 bushels year
ago.
Corn is quiet, maintaining an adj
vance of over { cents compared With
the same date last year.
Failures for the week were 269 in
the United States, against 245 last
year. and So in Canada, against 30
last year.

MAY HAVE TO VACATE
Abstract Companies Said to
DiSpIeaSe Commissioners.
MAY SEEK NEW QUAR- TIERS
DEAN and Dubois Companies
May Leave Court House.

A rumor to the effect that the abstract
ing companies now occupying the base
ment Of the county court house viii be
ordered TO vacate by the county com
Imissioners is being circulated, but the re-
port can not be verified. It appears that
/. the story has its foundation in the recent
purchase made by the commissioners Of
certain abstract books from County Re
corder Kerr. The abstractors in the city
lit is said were opposed to the deal and
nave, it appears, been talking too much
about the matter to suit the county com
missioners. This body. the story goes,
viii now retauate by compelling the two
aostracting companies occupying the
basement rooms Of the court house TO
seek other quarters to carry on their
business. One Of these concerns, tho
DEAN Abstract company, has occupied
its present Office for the past ten years
free Of charge.
The other concern is the Wichita Alb
stract company, better known as the
Dubois company. 1t has also had free
quarters for a term Of years.
Mr.. DEAN when seen about the rumoF
yesterday stated that nothing officially
had reached him concerning the matter
and that the county commissioners had
not as much as limited anything Of the
kind to the company. He said that they
had been doing business there for tho
past ten years OF. nearly as long as the
court hause has been built. 1T is true"
said Mr.. DEAN, that in a certain sense
we are not paying any rent, but we are
rendering free service TO the county and
In many cases to citizens which fully re-
munerates the county for the use Of these
rooms I have heard something to the
effect that the commissioners will take
some action regarding the two companies
located here, but just what it viii be,
do not know. Personally, however,
am Of the opinion that the whole matter
is nothing but rumor and that it viii
die as such The commissioners have
not mentioned or even limited to me about
the matter and in consequence of this
do not place any stock in the affair.""
An effort was made to see the commits
sioners concerning the matter but they
were in executive session the better part
of the afternoon, arguing, it is said, the
Nation case which will come up before
the supreme court at Topeka this morn

MISSOURI PACIFIC STOCK
What an Eastern journal Says About
Its Advance.


The New York Journal with reference
to the advance in Missouri Pacific stock,
says:
THE shade Of Jay Could must have
smiled down on George Jay Gould yes
terday, and this is said with all respect
and reverence.
Missouri Pacific, that fine inheritance
that Jay Gould left to his son, reached
81 ID, the highest point it has reached
since Jay Gould's death
'Seventy-six thousand one hundred
shares of the stock were dealt in.
1T opened at rs rs. the weakest point
and closed at 81 H. the highest figure, a.
gain of five points net So some one
must have made $4,000 in Missouri Pa
cifc.
Not a few generous minded men in
Wall Street hoped that the "some one"
was George Jay Could. These men were
not 50 foolish as to imagine that young
Mr.. Gould is managing his railroad prop
critics and his father estate with any
altruistic purpose,
THESE men with memories recalled that
not a Gould railroad went into bank
ruptcy during that extended period Of
railroad pressiOn-1893-' 50. Missouri
Pacific came precious near it, so near that
Wall Street was filed with rumors that
a receiver for the road was about to be

Russell Sage supplied the money TO pay

This was the more unselhsh because. had
the road gone into bankruptcy Mr.. Gould
could have made much money by re-
organizing it. But the stockholders
would have suffered severely"

story of an artist and baby and for
lively, engaging and brilliant flashes Of
wit, this farce evidently holds the palm.
