PIT WAS BEAR|SH
Due tc Reports From Argentina and
Texas, Although Lates Reports
Caused Firm Closing

Chicago. Feb. -WilEAT-At The
opening rhe market was inclined TO be
weak. The sentiment in the PHI gen.
orally was bear,sh and there was free
selling by pit traders. The reported in
crease in exports from Argentina of
almost a million bushels over the cor.
res ponding week Il year ago increased
the selling movement The early part
| of the session the market was rather
heavy and some additional weakness
developed on a report that the cGndi-
ton Of fall-sown wheat IN Texas was
excellent. During the last hour re-
port made by trade journal in ST.
Louis that The crop Of winter wheat
had been damaged by the sudden
change in temperature caused active
covering by the shorts and brought
iabout a steadier feeling The market
closed firm, May practically nm
changed.
CORN--The market ruled compare
lively firm. Offerings were quite small
and the demand. while moderate. was
more general. Commission houses led
the buying, part OF the May purchases
being credited 10 the east. Buying of
May and selling of July was a feature.
Light Argentine shipments, firm
cables and cold weather which should
increase consumption were the chief
bull helps. May closed 1s014 higher,
OATS Weakness in wheat had
depressing effect on the market early.
bur later the market became steady
because Of he iirmness in corn. Trad
ing was confined largely to local
operators. May closed unchanged

MARKET
With Violent Activity in Few Stocks
Which Obscured the Speculative
interest.

New York, Feb 2.-Feverish activity
/ and violent movements in few stocks

minished speculative interest in the
market as a whole, forced liquidation

stocks on the decline with great free.
dom. Their necessary buying opera.
tons 10 cover were q strong factor in
the rally and the uncertain tone Of
today's market was a fair indication
that these operations had been pretty
we'll completed. Some sort of com
binatiOn amongst recently contending
copper interests is commonly accept.
ed as an accomplished fact Enormous
individual transactions in Amalgama-
ted Copper, both on the buying and
selling sides, had rather formidable
effect on the sentiment and seemed
o fthe rest of the market. Reading
was affected by the seeming deadlock
in effects at the settlement of the
wage dispute between the local miners
and operators. The bank statement
outlook probably had some depressing
effect on the general market. The
absorption of funds by sub-treasury
this week has already reached $8,64S.
900. While this loss will be offset
by a gain on the balance from the in.
terror estimated at over S3,000,O0 the
from the interior is less pro
nounced than it was last week.
The tone of the call money market
held quite firm. but this was supposed
TO be due to the passing effect of the
first of the month requirements. With
the indicated loss in cash, however,
and the possibility of considerable
further loan expansion. the outlook is
for a poor bank statement tomorrow.
The general list made some recovery
from the declines and the closing tone
irregular.

three pairs of curious eyes were levelcd in his direction. He studied the note, creased it, drew it through his fingers, smoothed it and caressed it. And I should have done exactly as I threat ened. There is. then, Providence which. watches jealously over the inno- cent? And I was skeptic! Two hundred thousand dollars,"- picking up the packet of bank-notes and balancing it on his hand.

And when you play that Largo of Handel's, to breathless audience, who knows that may not be hidden behind the curtain of some stall, drinking in the heavenly sound made by that loving bow?

 He thrust the bank notes carelessly into his coat pocket, and walked slowly toward the hallway. At the threshold he stopped and looked back. The girl could not resist the magnetism of his dark eyes. She was momentarily fasci- mated, and her heart beat painfully.
 If only might go with the memory of your forgiveness" he said.
 "I forgive you"
 ''Thank you." Then Karloff reso- lutely proceeded: the portiere fell behind him. Shortly after she heard
 
 the sound of closing doors. the rattle of a carriage and then all became still. Thus the handsome barbarian passed from the scene.
 The colonel resumed his chair, his arm propped on a knee and his head bowed in his hand. Quickly the girI fell to her knees, hid her face on his breast, and regardless of the groom's presence. silently wept.
 My poor ohild!" faltered the col onel. God could not have intended to give you so wretched father. Pow erty and dishonor. poverty and dis honor: I who love you so well have i brought you these!"
 Warburton, biting his trembling lips, tiptoed cautiously to the window, op- ened it and stepped outside. He raised his fevered face gratefully to the icy rain. A great and noble plan had come to him.
 As Mrs Chadwick said, love is mag nificent only when it gives all without question.

SOMETHING ABOUT HEROES.
 From warburtons dramatic entrance upon the scene to Karloff's first move ment, scarce minute has passed, though to the girl and her father an eternity seemed to come and go. ,Kar loff was a brave man. Upon the in- stant of his recovery he sprang to- ward Warburton. silently and with pre- meditation: he must regain some frag- ment of those plans. He would not, could not, suffer total defeat before this girls eyes; his blood rebelled against the thought. He expected the groom to strike him, but James simply caught him by the arms and thurst him back
 No, Count: no. no; they shall burn to the veriest crisp."

 Warburton breathed easier While he did not want the girl to know who he was just then. he was glad that Karloff's memory had taken his thought away from the srate and its valuable but rapidly disappearing fuel.

 The antagonists. forgetting their own battle. stood silently watching hers Warburton's mind was first 10 clear and without a moments hesita- ton he darted from the room and i'm mediately returned with a glass of water. He held it out to the girl. Their Elances Clashed: a thousand mute. an sry questions in her eyes. thousand mute. humble answers in his. She ac- cepted the glass. and her hand trem- bled as she dipped her fingers into the cool depths and iecked the drops into the unconscious mans face.
 Meanwhile Ka-Ioff stood with folded arms. staring meIancholicaIly into the srate. where his dreams had disaP- peared in smoke.

THE TiENTsIN INCIDENT.
Trouble over Insult to yiceroy Yuan
 Shi Kai.

Shi Kai.
 PEKING. Feb. 6.-L. C. Hopkins. the British consul general at Tientsin, on the authority of Yuan Shi Kai. viceroy of the province of Chilli, denies the re- port that the Chinese policeman who struck one of the viceroy's outriders as Yuan Shi Kai was passing through the British settlement at Tientsin on his way to make formal visit to the Ger man officials on the occasion of Emper- or Williams birthday was sentenced to receive & thousand strokes with the bamboo and three months penal servi- tude.
 It is pointed out by all the local news papers that the man was really sen fenced to receive eighty blows and six months imprisonment. This statement has appeased public opinion somewhat. The trouble at Tientsin arose from the fact that while Yuan Shi Kai was passing through the British settlement to make formal visit to the German officials one of his outriders was struck by a policeman who was enforcing the rule of the road to kenn to the left.
