CIIICAOO , III. , Keb , 0. IttM a weather mar
ket In wheat today , and for n whllo trade was
rather sluggish ; pi Ices wore decidedly firm ,
nnd during the first hour May sold l'c above
the close on Saturday nnd held a good portion
of the advance for a long tlmo , The condi
tions , which Inivo been admittedly bad for
winter wheat-ln the west and southwest for
sotrio day ? , wuro looked on as quite alarming
today. The recontsoft weather had converted
the snow covering of the Holds Into ponds and
lakes , arid a bll/.zard carrying temperatures
of from ll ( * to 16O below /oro was reported In
the territory between Kansas City and Des
Mollies.
Cables note firm and Hi" receipts at Interior
points weio little. Allot thesu things madu
the shorts nervous and anxious to covor. The
result was that the futures Opened at from
78JiC to 70c , against 7 Hc at the
close on Saturday , and a further
appreciation to 70'/ie ' losultcd. At the
advance longs proceeded to take their
jiJoflts , and their offerings , together with tin
unexpected small decrease In the visible sup
ply , caused the market to weaken , and the
close was steady at from 78c to 784C ? , or
only a shade above thu lowest prlcu of the ( lay.
Corn was exceedingly dull and Its lluc'uii-
tlons In prices weiu almost In symnathy with
wheat , closing with a loss of 'no , comnared
with Saturday's last llguies , the final weakness
being lidded to bv the vlslfile supply and hca\y
estimate of receipts for toninrniw.
Hog products woie snmiiwlml unsettled.
Hogs wore lower and this fai-l , with free offer
ings In the piodnel , caused a period of weak
ness ( luring Hie early trading , but later there
was a rally , owing to covering by shorts , und
then another period of weakness , though tin :

A llaltlnniro jiapcrsay- , that It looks to them
( is If sonic ono had cornered the egg market
and was fun-Ing prices up. It Is suspected
heru that old Iloteas Is the manipulator.
On Sunday a prominent commission man
who Is long on eggs hurried out a mossotigur to
notify his sidesman when hu opened up on
Monday moinlng not lo lefuso any offer on
egg * . In an hour the weather had changed to
froe/.lng und another messenger was dls-
pulched with inders to thu salesman not to
sell og < rs in any price , .lack frost appears to
have the egg market right under his thumb tit
present.
The report of the secretary of the Klgln

The cargo of oranges carried directly to Lon
don from I'lorlda recently by thu steamer
1'lholwold was uii experiment that was not
wholly burion of unuislng features during the
salu of the fruit. The cargo embraced 0,415
boves , owned and shipped by 132 grocers.
There weio all sorts of sl/us and all sorts of
colors , from clear bright to dark russets , in
every lot. und thu catalogue men had a fearful
Unit ! grading and assorting. The samiillng , or
opening of sample boxes , was equally slow and
tedious. However , ( hu russets proved unwel
come strangers and wuru regarde.1 with sus
plclon by most of the fruit buyers. Ono
dealer Inquired how thu russet was produced ,
asking If the orange had not been crossed with
a russet apple. Such Igmiruncu of pomology
by a fruit dealer Is lo bu duplored.
The orange growurs and shippers of Cali
fornia aru not slow to rccognl/.o thu situation
of the Florida giowors and try lo profit by
their misfortunesays : the St. Louis rost-DIs-
patch. Here Is a paragraph from a printed
circular to the trade seeking orders :
"I'lorlda has been having some very coldfrosty
weather , which has Injured bur orange crop so
It will be almost Impossible for you to get a
good , straight car freu from frost from them
the balance of the season. " Whllo this state
ment Is somewhat alluring , though question
able , the Callfouila f i ult will not come heru
until their figures go lower or I'lorida's go
higher. Another shipping concern out thuro
guts back at their hielhron with branch houses
in this way : "Wo have no branch houses In
any market to comprto with our customers ,
and will therefore notconlllot with the tradu
hy offering In lossqiiantllles than carload lots.
Wo sull only In carload lets to thu wholesale
trade. "

NEW YOIIK , I'eh. 6. There was a moderately
active business In stocks , but with the e.\cep-
tlon of t.omostrciith | In early dealings , when
operators were watting for some Indications
of the prospects of the repeal of thuallverlaw.
It was weak almost throughout and final
changes are generally at the lowest , with many
material los.se * for the day. The Rokl question
was the moving force In the market and when
the .senate refused to vole on a motion to re
peal the silver law , thu market weakened
under considerable pressure of Ions' Blocks ,
the decllno bulnjt accelerated by the opera
tions of the bears , who from that tlmo moved
prices their own way. Sterlln ; * exchange was
firmer , the hills drawn against Kold Nhlpments
havlii- } been readily absorbed , and bankers
announce that shipments of Hold are likely to
be made at the end of the week. Koreliin ad
vices received In the street state that should
the silver law be repealed there would proba-
blv bu less demand for Kold.
The Industrial stocks were not so prominent
In thedeallnjr.s , and only I'onhiKo and Suuar
showed any particular strenxlh , the te.st mov
ing In unNon with the general list , and Dis
tillers shou'ln ; : a llnal loss of only l' ' ( percent.
The operations of the be'irs were directed
larjrcly aualnst the itran ers , and buying of SI.
Paul by l.ondiiH had little Influence to stop tin. '
ell'ect of their sales. Thu weak .spotln the ll.sl ,
however , was the coalers. The further notion
iiRiiln.st the Jersey t'entral In the New .Jersey
courts , Ineonnectlon with the persistent sell
ing of other anthracite slorkn , was ull'ectlve In
lower ipintaltnns amoiiK the whole group.
Delaware & Hudson led with a loss nf 2 per
cent , but I.acKawanna and IteadliiK each lost
1'f. The losseunion1 ; the -rangers were
nearly as liu-no , however , llurllnntdii losing
Hi percent , Omaha 1'iper cent and Ht. Paul
1 per cent. Manhattan was without support
and declined ' per cent net for the day on
comparatively small transactions , but thu
other chanie.s were Rencrally for small
uiiounts. The strong feattiro was NowKiiK-
land , but that was only In thu forenoon when
there was an lit uent demand for the stock , and
Iho proximity of the time for the closing of the
iHiolis led to the Inference that ono or thu
other side In thu contest for control was
3lrenKthenlnf * Its line. Later In thu day , how
ever , It was allowed to run ofT to about Its
lowest point and finally closed unchanged.
Among the specialties the arrival of the
Oily of Pckln Infused a llttlo life Into Pacific
Mall , but C'olorado I'uul was the only ono to
make any material change , rising to 70 and
falling back 1 per cent. The market closed
active and weak at about the lowest prices.

the only buying was by fresh meat houses.
They took tno hogs at prices strong to a nickel

butcher and heavy weight hogs selling at from
$7.70 to { 7'JO. Theru was no great amount of

IT3 OONTRACr HELD UP.
Sun Vapor Lighting Company Not ' 'ncrr li
Aeeept Oiimlm'H Term * .
Klthcrtho oltyniust draw up anew form of
contract or the Sun Vapor Mgbt company will
refuse to ratify Its aijroomant to light tliut
portion of tlio city upon which glows tlio
Ilieiccr of j-asDllne lamps.
AttliereeentmcotliiKof tlio city counel" bt
one bid was received to carry out the con
tract term of the Metropolitan company.
The bid was accepted mvl * , nstcrdny a representative -
sentativo of tlio Sun Vapor concern urrivc.l
and immediately tiled bis objection to the
penalty elauso of tlio contract.
It was tlio tests of the g.is iuspaetor that ,
forced the Metropolitan to the wall , as
whenever a test was in.iilo showing. the
lights furnished on any pmietilar night were
not up to the slxteen-candlo jiower u rue-
ment a pro i-.ita reduction was made upon all
the lights burning on the niijht tlio test was
inado. Frequently the light furnished did
not exceed three or four candle power.
Tlio Sun Vapor company does not propose
to bo caught in the same box as . the
Metropolitan company and does "not
cherish the idea of so severe a penalty being
attached to its failure to furnish the
required slxteen-candlo power light.
Should Stand liy Ita Agreement.
Gas Inspector Gilbert says that the penalty
should remain in force and not bo changed.
If the company intends to furnish the city
with slxtcen-candlo power light it has no
reason to fear that the pro rata reduction
clause in the contract will work any hard
ship. If the company is looking for a loop
hole and hasno intention of fullllling to the
letter its contract as to the power of the
light to be furnished then It would bo well to
wipe out the clause , abolish the office of gas
inspector , dispose of the photometer belong
ing to the city und permit the light company
to do as its own free will dictates.
This is- what Mr. Gilbert believes. Ho
also says that it is impossible to furnish a
gasoline lamp of sixtccn-caiidlc power with
the kind of burners now in use , and that any
company bidding to furnish that kind of a
light does so with the knowledge that it
could not fulfill the terms of any such a con
tract , and hopes to evade the enforcement
of such a contract. B.v the use of the photo
meter , owned by the city , Mr. Gilbert is en
abled to accurately test the gasoline , gas
and incandescent lights furnished the city
by the different companies and can detect
tholeast variation. When the Vapor company
submitted its bids it wus aware of the fact
that the city makes very thorough tests of
the lights furnished and will not pay for
any which are not strictly in accordance
wlthitho terms of the contract. Mr. Conncll
was ready to draw up the contract and was
only prevented by the intimation of the
Vapor coinpany's representative that the
obcctionablo clause roust bo stricken out
before the contract woula be acceptable.
Will ' .Vult Awhile.
The Vapor company is willing to stand a
reasonable penalty , but is not prepared to
accept the same terms as existed in the
contract with the Metropolitan company.
Such a penalty the company believes origi
nated from another lighting concern that is
very anxious to crowd out of existence all
companies furnishing gasoline lights , in
order that their lights may be substituted
and their business 'ami earnings increased.
Mr. Cowan , the company's representative ,
is In communication with the officers
of 'tho ' company nt Canton , O. , and
the proposition of accepting the pro-
rata reduction clause of the old lighting con
tract is under consideration. Until the
officers of the company uro heard from no
action can bo taken in regard to drawing and
signing the contract.
Meanwhile the suburbs are shrouded in
darkness and the residents must sutfer the
inconvenience necessarily following such u
state of affairs.
MONTHLY BEPORTS.
Members of tlio llnuril of Health Hour
from th Inspectors.
The members of the Hoard of Health with
stood the fury of the frigid northern breeze
that was wafted In through the window case
ments of Dr. Somers' office In the city hall

twenty deaths , were reported. They were
divided as follows : Diphtheria 20 cases , 4
deaths ; scarlotina 2 ! ) cases , 4deaths ; typhoid
fever'-cases , tj deaths ; measles 5 cases , no
deaths.
Dr. Somors , Chief Seavoy and Councilman
McLcario were appointed a committee to
prepare a blank form to bo printed for the
use of the food inspectors in making their
reports , the present plan being unsatisfac
tory. The committee will also decide
whether it is best to have printed eaeh
mouth tor general distribution the reports
of deaths and the causes , the same as is done
in many other cities. Inspector Holmes re
ported upon the sanitary condition of the
different school houses in the city. The sec
retary was instructed to request the build
ing inspector to investiirato the condition of
tlio plumbing In tjie Lake school , which was
reported to bo in very baJ condition , andjho
ventilation is also said to bo not of the best.
Propositions were received from the vari
ous hospitals to take the city cases for $5
per week for eaeh bed while actually In use ,
and o for each time the operating room is
used. They were Illed.

block , and almost Immediately after making
his playful remark ho was struck by a de
scending cage , his forehead literally crushed

sulted almost instantly.

vator , felt the shock , and on stopping the car
to ( look out iin.l ascertain the cause of the
trouble i was overcome by the sight of the
blood and brains bespattering the sides.
The dead man was 00 years of ago and
lived with hi.s wife at the northwest corner
of Fifteenth and Jones streets. lie also had
n daughter living In t he city who is married to
