THE GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, January 24.-Wheat was
in excellent demand at the opening today
and the market was strong. Many traders
We're disposed to take profits within the
first hour and prices became somewhat
easier. The general feeling. however. early
in the day was decidedly firm. Gables were
slightly higher, and this gave additional
strength to the market

at 1895 to 7912 and sold at 1915
May corn opened at 1915 to 461z and sold
at 46ai6s.

sold at 3S14a3Sas
May provisions opened dull. pork at 1885,
lard at 937 40 and ribs at 9.05.
Realizing sales caused a e,ession in
wheat prices later in the session. and May
declined to 7SasaIS1s. The close was weak,
with May IS lower, at TS1sa7S%.
Corn-Prices weakened on account of
profit taking, May selling off to 45a.a457s

dress before the state legislature yester-
day. In reference to William r. Hearst,
United States Senator Joseph W. Bailey
said:
This has been a most remarkable con-

THE Cotton MARKETS.

NEW YORK, January 24.-1--e cotton
market opened steady at an advance of
Gallo points in response to higher cables
than expected and bullish gossip concern
ing the spot situation. There was consid-
cradle selling at the advance on the large
estimate for tomorrow's receipts at Hous-
ton. but offerings were well absorbed and
prices held about to 10 points higher dur
ing the middle Of the morning. Trading
was moderately active and Liverpool was
buyer in the local market during the early
session. Many of the local commission

NEW YORK, January 24.-This was
another dull and, generally speaking, I'M
interesting session upon the stock exchange,
but the tone of the market was for the
most part firm and the trading showed
characteristics in common with those which
have been observed since Monday. That Is
TO say. there were no Temperatures or the
liouidation which has been heretofore in
progress. and while there was no materiai
betterment in the business of commission
houses the absence of liquidation was OF
itself sufficient TO lead to desuitory
covering of short contracts.
The Bank of England's rate of discount
was left unchanged at per cent, and the
banks weekly report was very strong eX-
hibit The ratio of reserves to liabilities
rose to nearly 40 per cent, as against about
- per cent last week and IL per cent In the
corresponding week of last year. In the
open London market money was, however
again in good request; hence the outlook
for Immediate reduction in the BANK
present discount figure is problematical.
The London stock market as again slug
gish. with increasing animation In the
American department With. the course of
the day, but operations here for foreign &C
count continued upon trfling scale.
There was nothing in the mornings news
of general Importance. and little of any
moment in the developments with the
course of the day. Money market and for
eign exchange conditions showed little al
teration. The banks gained heavily again
from the subtreasury yesterday, and up to
this mornng showed a net favorable bal
ance in their operations with that lnStitu-
ton amounting to over $400O,OO.
Some Striking Changes.
The very striking changes in the execu-
tive management of the Interborough-
Metropolitan Company. which were an
nounced after the close of business yester-
day. probably explained this weeks recov-
cry in these securities, but according to
stock market precedent the shares in queS-
ton were today somewhat reactionary.
Dealings We're begun upon the stock eX-
change this morning in the Mackay COM
pany stocks and in CRANKY mining, both is
sues having been transferred from the curb
market, and the dealings in each instance
were fairly animated.
Yet another advance was made in the
selling prices for copper metal, bringing the
quotations for lake copper up to a fiat
twenty-five cent basis, which circumstances
furnished an ostenSible explanation of the
pronounced strength in Amalgamated Cop
per stock Anaconda Mining likewise scored
an extensive gain.
United States Steel Active.
The United States Steel shares were
dealt in upon fairly large scale, but with
small results so far as net price changes
were concerned
The Presidents special message on the
ship subsidy question doubtless accounted
for the advance in Pacific Mail.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

In the bond list at todays meeting Of the
stock exchange there was some business
done One of the brokers lad Q few lots OF
Washington railway bonds for sale, and he
found a market for them on g range OF
from $50 to S5h. The bid was then 30.
and while some further transactions could
have been made at a slight fractional adj
vance above the bid price. there was no
further trading, and at the close the asking
price was ash.
A couple of lots of the bonds Of the Poto-
mac Electric Light Company were supplied
at 1895 ana 1o414, and they were still to be
had at the latter figure with the bid an
eighth Of a point below it.
The bid for Capital Traction stock rose
half point as compared with yesterday
figures. and at the close was ~. with no
change In the asking price, which was
point ahead. There was no trading.
Nothing of consequence was done In the
Washington Railway stocks. The figures
In the case Of the preferred were left as
Common remained at 20, with the asking
price half a point In advance OF that
level.
A couple of bids for large blocks Of the
common were made at sos and s0N.
One of the brokers exhausted the supply
Of Mitchell Mining stock at 81 by the pur-
chase of coo shares in 1O0-share lots. and
then bought a 400 share lot at an advance
of an eighth of a point. At the close the
bid was 51s, and the asking price 81.
According to writer on financial topics
there is apparently no idea among well in
formed bankers mat any additional stock
issues will be attempted by railroad COM
as will be necessary will be. it is thought,
by means of the issue of short-term notes.
In that case, the opinion Is expressed. .ost
of such issues will be arranged for early
maturites. 1t is pointed out that there will
be an essential difference between the prev
alence of short-term notes this year and
that of 1903. At that time q general and
quite decided trade reaction, 1t Is agreed,
made investors apprehensive for the sta
bility of railroad Investments.
At the present time, it is claimed, the
trouble is not Industrial but financial. There
Is no trade reaction, nor do very many peO-
pie fear that one Is Imminent. II short
time notes are used as much as Wall street
expects them to be, it will be in order to
allow the accumulation of surplus capital
to catch up with the tremendous demands
upon 1t and not as in the earlier period re-
ferred to, in order to let frightened investors
regain their confidence. It Is also stated
that this method of financing seems likely
to reduce considerably the immediate ae-
port. it is said. in the policy Of several TN
portant railroad systems In arranging
to sell notes, not to provide the capital
that they would have asked for in more
favorable condition Of the investment mar
ket, but only SO much as will carry them
safely through the next six or eight months.

future for a light; and also we took
crowbar and another ak from Psyches
altar. The gold lay there in mockery
of the power of wealth; I would have
given as much of it as a man could take
in return for an iron shovel.
Having got all that we wanted for our
present use, we returned to the big cave,
and carried our treasures % the edge OF
the pit. The water had now ebbed, and
in order to see better what the face of
the cliff looked like at the bottom l
chopped up a couple of slaves into thin
strips, and, having built them up in a
cone on the edge, | set fire to them. And
this led to an unanticipated result which
l hasten to tell. The fire had not been
burning ten minutes when VIC heard old
Peter whistling furiously down the shaft.
What are you at noW?" he called,
when l answered his whistle from the
bottom of the shaft. "Ain't you got no
feelin of respec's for the sick that you
go a choking your poor grandfather with
this here smother of smoke? Do you
want me to come down and knock your
heads off? You're got to put that fire
out at once, do you understand that,
there?
1--WE must have light" l answered.
Must have light. DO you think
we're rollin' in riches that we can af-
ford to feed the both on you and keep
you in fights as WELL Put out that there
fire. Your grandfather's a chokin', don't
you hear him.
"Ill put out the fire wnen you send
me down candles"
He went away and returned with amaz-
ing celebrity.
There's candles for a week, and you
shall have more when they're gone per-
vising you put out that fire at once, and
don't light it no more. It's all for
my poor Bel's sake. I'd never give you
food nor candles nor nothin' else. I'm
doin' of it to please my boy, mind that"
But | knew better, ard now saw
through this pretended paTarnal sympa-
thy. The smoke was not ascending the
well, but streaming up through the gap
in the cave over the pit, and he feared
that it would attract the attention Of
the coast guard. That also was why
the noise we made in cutting the cliff had
Brought him to reason.
