 pr Edgar $. Smith, chairman of the athletic committee of the University of Pennsylvania, delivered an inter- esting address last night before fifty New York alumni of the University of Pennsylvania at their annual banquet in the Hotel Manhattan. He said as there were no reporters present. he would speak freely and give his views regarding what he thought was the pro- per basis on which college athletics should be conducted. Dr Smith is of the opinion that if student shows ability as an athlete he should have every opportunity of earning his ex- penses in a professional way, provided he conducts himself in manner be coming a, student. This would revolu- tionize college athletics and do away with the. practice of forcing some stu dents to seek scholarship aid, Dr Smith said.

the quality Of the offerings as a whole
was hardly up to Ine usual standard. Buy

anything at all good sold without much
Trouble at last weeks closing prices. When
II came to the warmed-up and habitat
stun, however, the market was not as brisk
and If anything the prices looked a shade
lower. than last week. The weakness,
though, was of hardly enough Importance
to be worthy of mention. 1t was evident
that packers were anxious for good stuff,
but that they did not care particularly for
the habitat kinds. Several trains were
late in. arriving. which delayed the market
until the day was well advanced.
The demand for feeders continued active
and the few punches of desirable sheep and
lambs that arrived sold at good. strong
prices.

quiet at a decline OF l point. under selling
for both accounts. which was chiefly en-
couraged by the outlook for receipts. The
early estimate for ports pointed to a move
ment of about $1,000 bales, as compared with
1885, bales last year, and the interior re-
oeipts also have recently shown an ex-
banding tendency. New Orleans showed a
disposition to drag>after the call and

cllned. closing about 2 points lower. The
weaker tone resulting from this influence
was responsible for a decline of from 4 to
8 points on the active option. from which
the market was rallied toward the close
by buying by room shorts and commission
houses, which, with the list finally steady
at a net decline of 2 to 5 points. The
southern spot markets were held at gen
orally unchanged prices. Liverpool re-
ported spot sales of 1900 bales and news
from various dry goods markets. including
Manchester, were distinctly encouraging
Il was on the phases of the situation and or
the ordinary that the recent liquidation
had pretty well cleaned out the weaker
long interest that tOday's buyers were
operating. Sales were estimated at 10000

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS.
Market shows slight Improvement,
Though stiu Mainly Professional.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2-The stock market
showed some Improvement today over the
apHthetic conditions OF last week and the
volume of dealings rose by more than 500, O0O
shares. Complaints from commission houses
were undated, however, Of a tack OF husi-
ness, and the market was called profess
sional. A very large part of the activity,
both in stocks and bonds, centered in the
Pennsylvania securities. As the par value
OF the Pennsylvania shares is only $50, the
total shares dealt I'm should be divided in
halt to make the showing equivalent to
that of other leading stocks. The same is
true of the Reading shares, which con-
dealings.
Pennsylvania promptly relapsed on the
opening sales Of 1900 shares to $50, COM
pared with l5lA on Saturday, and lowered
about that price all day, with large deal
the opening. This seemed to represent an
adjustment to the convertible value be
tween the two in accordance with the
notice gwen by the directors of the antici-
patton Of the conversion privilege by a
year. Increased activity In the general
market seemed to have no connection with
the Pennsylvania movement. The revival
of strength in the Erie stocks had a con-
siderable sentimental influence on the ZEN
eral speculation. There was no news de-
Neloped regarding the expected deal tor
the transfer of the road. but there was
some suspicion that the large financial
transaction reflected i'm the clearing house
balances on Friday might have to do with
Erie. The strength of Delaware a. Hudson
was directly associated with that OF Erie.

Abundant funds offered on Friday and

Amongst the days special movements
Amalgamated Copper was conspicuous for
a rise of over . points. Prevalent opinion
points to improved trade conditions and
there was talk today OF large takings of
copper by foreigners. There was nothing
to explain the rise in Peoples Gas, except
the declaration of a regular dividend. The
Venezuelan situation was considered re-
assuring. There was a good demand for
foreign exchange and 1t was reported that
money has grown so cheap here that bank
ers prefer to remit to pay on maturing
foreign Indebtedness. The days gains were
not fully maintained and the closing was
rather irregular. Wabash debenture 5s be-
came very strong at the last.

so that in spite of the fact that other

There were not many beef steers on sale

CHICAGO, Feb. 2.-TradingNon the Board
of Trade was rather dull today I'm all the
pits, and after a nervous session, wheat
closed strong. with May up AdAc. May
corn was hWhc lower, with oats down a
fraction. Provisions were easier, the May
products closing from 21kc 20 121hc lower.
The unexpected trmness OF the English
cables caused a strong opening in wheat,
but the local traders were inclined to be
bearish and had considerable stun for sale,
which carried the price down to 77lsq1iac,
after initial sales at INC, the opening ng-
ures being NC higher than saturdays close.
The leader OF the recent bull movement
was a liberal seller, IL being reported that
I'm the neighborhood of 1,0O,VO bushels
were sold for his account. When the pres
sure from this source had diminished the
market developed a stronger tendency and

equalled $4,000 bushels. The visible sup
ply decreased 608,UO bushels, against a de
crease last year of 1,4A,0O bushels. Pri-

and 3S9 a year ago
Corn ruled dull and featureless and the
volume NJ trade was light. Opening prices
were firm, on the strength In wheat and on
smaller receipts than had been estimated,
but under the influence OF free short sell
ing by locals and scattered Liquidation by
tired holders the market weakened. The
late advance in wheat, however, gave firm
ness to the situation and the close was
about steady, with May b41Ac lower at
44Ac, after selling between 44hc and 47sc.
Local receipts were 31 cars, 1 contract
grade.
Nothing Of Importance developed in the
trading In oats and the market was ex-
ceedingly dull. Receipts were fairly lib
eral, while the cash demand was good.
The car shortage was still a drawback to
trading. The close was steady, with May
a shade lower at 36bQ36hc, after ranging
between 36c and 36%c. Local receipts were
S4 cars.
Provisions were easy on liquidation by
