MONUMENT TO MARTYRS.
Tribute to $1,000 Who Died in Prison
Hulks.

New York. Feb. 2s.-The movement to
build a monument to the martyrs of the
prison ships in the revolution seems
likely to be successful. It is to cost
100000 and all but s11. 600 is subscrib bed.
Congress, the state of New York and
the city of New York have appropriated
amounts agsfegating $1,000. The pris-
Oners for whom the monument is to be
built are those who were confined in
the prison hulks anchored in the East
river near the present site Of the Brook
Ign navy yard -Four thousand of Wash
ingtOn's soldiers, captured at the battle
of Long Island. were confined in these
hulks and subsequent captives were ad-
ded to their number until a consfderabl
fleet was employed for the purpose Re
lease was continually offered to all who
would forswear the cause for which
they had fought. but only one man-e
Hessian- accepted liberty on that condi-
ton, while more than $4,000 died in their
floating prisons.

Wall Street. New York. Feb. 2S.-STOCKS
The tone of the opening stock market
was mixed. A decline Of rs points in New

landslides on its line The majority of
stocks were lower but some of the princi-
pal speculative favOrites showed light
gains. Including St. Paul, Wabash prefer
red Pennsylvania and Metropolitan Street
Railway. The undertone Of the market
grew steadier as buying orders came in on
the concessions This relief was only mo-
mentary and active selling was renewed
and turned the list sharply downward

suffered losses of between / and points,

and Amalgamated Copper offered some re
sistance. Support for Wabash preferred
rallied the market.
Prices made "a slow recovery until the
appearance of the bank statement. The
decline in reserves was much less than an
ticipated. and there was a lively scramble
among shorts to cover which caused al
most complete recoveries. Some stocks
rose a fraction over last night, notably
St Paul. Pennsylvania and Amalgamated
Copper. The closing was moderately active

WHEAT4The previous excellent condi-
4on OF the winter wheat plant has been
fully maintained during the past week.
The predictions for tonight and Sunday
over the winter wheat belt is for colder
weather, but the plant is wei rooted ard
IN perfect condition to stand the rigOrS
of March weather. Conditions generally
are about perfect for the growing crop, and
H. normal conditions prevail from now un-
TIL harvest a bountiful yield will result.
There is no mention of the Hessian fly

ing weather whether or not they will be

ment has been light the past week Al
though some localities report very little
wheat left in general interior stocks OF
winter wheat appear to be up to the nor
mai In the speculative markets there has
hot peeh much DONG IN wheat ana the
range has been narrow and the volume Of
business sht- mere was a moderate ad-
vance during the latter part Of the week
in face of bearish conditions Indifferent
forelgn markets and a small export de-
mand ana small ciearances- The Scalpers
seemed to absorb May wheat around nc,
and sell 1t out on &c advance. One of the
new things for the trader who is bullishIv
inclined is to watch the weather and the
changes in the visible. The latter is be-
lieved to have about reached its maximum
pected from now on. Looking at the sit
uatiOn abroad there is the reopening of the
Danubian ports which in short time may
result in increased shipments. Argentina
IS steadily increasing its shipments and
receipts from that country are three times
larger than for the same period last year.
However, we have had it confirmed before
that rosy conditions can be turned into a
complete failure before harvest. and as
there is plenty Of time between now and
then for something to happen, and as the
market can 10 up as well as down, we
think the chances for a rise from present
quotations are far greater than those for
a further decline. The wealthy traders are
in sympathy with any upward movement
and bull sentiment is in the air
