HIS LEGS sUMATRA WRAPPED.
New York Herald.

Three customs inspectors captured a
guileles would-be smuggler on the Red
Star pier last night and had a brief battle
with steamship fireman, who resented
suspicious OF his attitude toward tariff
fOrcement.
Arthur Everaert, a lad who was crews
cook on the Vaderland, marched down the
gangway of that vessel. at o'clock last
night surrounded by guard of four from
the ship. His trousers legs were stuffed
SO full of Sumatra tobacco that he walked
as if astride a rail. His escort drew in
slant attention, and his apparent physical
affiiction held the interest of all on the
dock.
Still Everaert seemed surprised when In
spectors Hooley, Neyins and Fielding
jumped for him as soon as he hove in
sight. He was astonished, but resigned,
when his deep laid tobacco plot was un-
raveled to the depth of four inches and
$50 worth of the leaf was removed from his
legs.
Inspector Hooley had just returned to the
pier when three firemen marched out from
the Vaderland. They were told they must
be searched. One said he did not want to
be searched, especially on the dock He
was hustled into the office of Captain Will
son, the pier Waterman, and there strug-
gled with the inspectors until overpowered
No contraband was found upon him and he
was released.

WALL STREET VERY DULL
TRADING ON A SMALL SCALE, WITH
PRICES FAIRLY STEADY.
A Few Special Movements Due to In
dfvfduaI Causes-Renewed Interest
in the Money Market.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Yesterdays I'M
provement in speculative sentiment seemed
to be maintained to-day, but the trading
was at such a low ebb Of activity that 1t
was futile to try to measure the signif-
canoe Of the changes. 1t is clear that some
of the professional traders sold stocks on
Saturday and bought back yesterday when
they found their fears Of an outbreak of
trouble over the Venezuelan situation had
not been realized, and so far as this in
ternational dispute depressing in
fuence on the market it had been pretty
thoroughly eliminated. The result does not
prove that there any speculative en-
thusiasm held in check by this influence.
To-day's total sales of stocks were little
changed from yesterday. In few cases
there was buying of stocks on the strength
of special developments, but this demand
did not follow rise in prices far, and had
very little sympathetic effect on the gen
eral list. The firmness OF the coalers was
based on the report or net earnings Ior
New Jersey Central in December, showing
an increase over those of last December
of S6l2, 00O Confident predictions were made
that the forthcoming December report or
Erie would show even better results On
the other hand the Atchison December re-
ports showed all but $7,011 of the increase
in gross earnings taken up by the en-
larged expense account. The rise in Amer
lean Smelling based on assertions or
very large current earnings and heavy
surplus accumulation. Louisville rose on
the rumor that it would benefit in largely
increased degree hereafter from the earn
ings of the Nashville. Chattanooga ST.
Louis, Amslgamated was bought on re-
ports of the acquisition by the company or
mines in Scandinavia and on the rise OF
copper in London.
A number OF low-priced railroad stocks
were lifted. 1T has been argued that prices
OF dividend-paying stocks are at level
where the investment return is less attrac-
tive than for other uses or capital. APP
parently the traders are led TO conclude that
with stocks that pay no dividend this OBJ
lection to higher prices may not apply.
These are fair examples of the influences
which were allowed to affect the market.
Manhattan was under pressure or reallzlng
by those who had bought for the privilege
of subscribing to the stock, the right for
which came of to-day.
The situation in the money and exchange
markets was without appreciate change.
Yesterdays decline in export buying or
wheat as result of the higher price was q
subject of comment and there was keen
interest to learn whether to-day's reaction
in wheat would lead to renewal of the ex-
port demand.
The bond market was moderately active
and the movement Of prices was Irregular.
Total sales, at par value, were $2,2l0,OO.
United States bonds were unchanged on
| call.
Following are the days share sales and
| the recorded price changes:

Meyer & Kiser's Telegram


NEW YORK, Jan. N.-The opening was
firm and was helped by the better interna-
tional situation and also to some extent by
the firm tone Of the London market While
the market did not develop any great activ-
ity in the first hour, the firm tone shown at
the opening was we'll maintained, and about
noon there was more activity. all issues
showing tendency to advance. The gains
at that time were from l to 11 points. lin
the afternoon session, despite the extreme
dulIness, the tone continued firm, but trad
ers were disposed to let the market drift
and thus see what outside interest had de-
veloped. Among the specially active stocks
were the Fries, which were bought on the
favorable December earnings, A. G. p,
which was active and advanced a point
easily on Boston buying, and Reading.
which was strong on the excellent showing
made by the Jersey Central for December.
This affected the other hard coalers sympa-
thetically, as it known that the Erie
statement would be good, and equally large
earnings were expected from the other coal
roads. There was considerable talk that
the strength of the market was due to short
covering, but it was not shown that there
is any considerable short interest.

HEAVY SELLING OF WHEAT
CAUSES A NET LOSS OF 5-s CENTS
IN THE PRICE.
Corn Firm Early, but Closes Lower, n
Do Oats-Hog Products weaker on
Lower Prices at the Yards.

CHICAGO, Jan. 27-There was an enor-
nous trade in wheat to-day. Heavy
realizing by the leader of the longs caused
break of over two cents in May and the
close was weak and at loss of Csc from
yesterday. Corn closed sc lower with
oats down Aassc Provisions closed weak.
May products being from 10 to 221sc lower.
Lower cables and liberal receipts, es-
pecially in the Southwest, caused weak
opening in wheat, and local longs unloaded
freely. There temporary rally
shortly after the start, brought about by
buying by the leading long and May sold
up to s15sqs2c. after opening 14Qssc to $50
12c lower at Slhc to Sl7sc. The support was
only momentary, however, and when it was
learned that the chief long interest was
selling through brokers. there was a wild
scramble to secure profits and the price
broke sharply. the low point being reached
at 7S7sc. Covering by shorts late in the
day caused a slight rally but the close was
weak and CSC lower at 79q791sc. The news
was generally bearish, with the falling of
or the export demand the principal in
fluence The volume of business was some
thing enormous, il being reported that the
seven TO ffteen piI5on 6 WSiie cnm
mission houses were also heavy sellers.
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal
to 2S4,cO0 blu. Primary receipts were
$4,000 bu against 4SS,OO0 a year ago. Min
neapolis and Duluth reported receipts of
1874 cars which, with local receipts of IS
cars. none OF contract grade, made a total
OF 42s cars, against AT last week and az
year ago.
Corn was remarkably firm early in the
day, considering the weakness in wheat,
and 1t was rumored that the same firm
that unloaded big line of wheat had taken
on large line of corn. Commission
houses and brokers Were active buyers
Later In the session, when wheat started
on its last downward course, offerings be-
came very liberal and a weak feeling de-
veloped, May closing &c lower at 44Isc
after selling between 1850 and $3.50. Re-
celpts. 746 cars, none of contract grade.
Ihere was only a slight trade in oats
ana the market sympathiZed with other
grains, the close being weak. Commission
houses and brokers were the best buyers,
while local traders sold. May closed AQ3sc
lower at 35s4c, after selling between 35%c
and 36Ac Receipts were 40 cars.
provisions ruled dull and easier, liberal
receipts of hogs and lower prices at the
yards contributing to the early weakness,
while selling by packers added to the de-
cline. Commission houses bought moder-
ately. The close was weak, with May pork
22lsc lower at $l6.67i1, lard down 121sc at
- 80, and ribs off 10c at 50. 171h.
