REMAINS UNIDENTIFIED.
Body of Man Found in Barrel in New
- 80. York. ~

NEW YORK, April 15.EAfter viewing the
body of the murdered man today Guiseppi
Bonjiorno, Sicilian, identified the remains
of the man found in barrel in New York
yesterday as that of man named Qua
t1occhi. who had come to New York from
Barcelona. Bonjiorno said he had often
seen the man in a barber shop in First
avenue, that he was married and had been
a member of some secret society.
While the police were trying to confirm
Bonjiorno's identification Quatrocchi, whom
he supposed to be the murdered man,
walked into the morgue. He was almost
an exact, counterpart of the murdered man.
The identity of the dead man is again
unknown.

Stand-Patters Must Move.

Strictly speaking. the stand-pat tariff
policy is not the tariff policy Of the adj
ministration. but policy forced upon the
administration by a group Of influential
in the person of Senator Hanna, coined the
term which defines it. It viii remain the
administration policy just as long as a
minority of the Senate republicans are
able to dictate the party policy and con-
troll legislation in that body. It is too
early to say that their power is waning.
But it is also too early to say that they
have already triumphed over the support
ers Of the Iowa idea. Rather does it ap-
pear that they are already seeking to COM
promise with the latter, and preparing to
make concessions to them with the object
of preventing at the next national conven-
ton a complete transfer Of power from
the east. where control Of republican policy
has SO long rested, to the virile west.

NEW YORK Jan. S--To-day's stock

lar during the early part of the session.
general strength by the reports of the deal
for dividend control of Reading by the
Pennsylvania and the Vanderbilt interests.
The coalers led the movement, but the
Readings themselves were but moderately
affected beyond a full recovery from some
earlier depression. Pennsylvania also failed
to share in the strength awakened by the
reports. The Fries took the lead and scored
advances of between 21a and points on
enormous dealings. Concise details were
lacking of the deal. but it was taken for
granted that important steps had been
taken toward further centralizing the con-
troll of the anthracite traffic. Reports have
long been current of large buying of the
Readings for Baltimore & Ohio account,
and the dominance of the Morgan influence
in Reading made it evident that the usual
observance of comfy between the Pennsyi-
vania and the New York Central powers
would be followed. The fact of the re-
sumption Of IDEALS" and large financial
projects in the railroad world was itself an
Indictment to speculation.
Inc decllnlng course or the money market
protected the speculation from anxiety on
account of the money situation. The an
nouncement late in the day that the bank
ers' pool which subscribed $50OO0,0O0 in the
middle of December for the protection Of
the money market against emergency has
been dissolved added to the feeling of Sc
curity and led to the final outbreak of
buoyancy in which the market closed.
New York Central and Baltimore e. Ohio
shared to some extent in the strength due
to the Reading report. OF the other spe-
cial movements that in the corn grangers
was attributed to the growth Of the corn
movement, although there was some evil
dence of organized market support in Mis-
souri, Pacific and Rock Island.
The recovery in the London money mar
ket, with the firmer tone Of sterling ex-
change, attracted some attention. The re-
duction of money supplies in London is suf-
ficiently accounted for by the weeks reduc-
ton of over s90,OOO,OO0 in the loans Of the
Bank of England. With this largely aug
mented control of the outside market it Is
matter of interest whether the central in
stitution will attempt to attract money
from abroad or will operate directly to ease
the outside market in preparation for COM
ing government loan operations.
Bonds were quite active and were rather
irregular. Total sales at par value, were
50. $4,000 United States bonds were un-
changed on the last call.
Following are the days share sales and

ance, and the demand will be undetermined
until prices become settled The movement
of dried fruit is steady but quiet. The I'M
dertone of the prune market is reported
strong. Raisins have chen advanced on the
Pacific coast, but this has not affected the
market east. The produce market Is fair
ly active. Cranberries are in active re-
quest, and prices are firmer. Commission
merchants are expecting potatoes and ap-
pies to move more briskly in the near
future. Generally from the middle to the
latter part of January stocks stored by re-
tailers and consumers early in the season
begin to give out and must be replenished.
This condition, of course, increases the de-
mand. Wholesalers have large stocks from
which to draw. Sweet potatoes are in good
supply, with no change in prices. Cabbage
is a shade firmer and onions are plentiful
at unchanged prices. Some green STUN,
such as lettuce, beets and radishes OF
southern growth. is now coming into the
market. Dressed chickens are slightly
higher than they were last week. while
other poultry is unchanged. Eggs are
steady at prices quoted, and butter holds
its own at the high range Of some weeks
past. Cheese is firm at the advance OF
Monday. With the dry goods houses there
is little more activity. but they do not ex-
pect much business during January Flour
same. The coal market Is active at the
recent advance There is an ample supply
of Indiana coal and of several kinds Of
Ohio coal, but there is little anthracite on
this market, though several dealers have
anthracite of different grades en- route
