Opinions of Proralnsnt Authority on Wall
Street Conditions.
AFFAIRS ARE UNUSUALLY SATISFACTORY
No Inillrntloii of Alintcnicnt In the
Employment of IinlitM rliil, Altrl

NKW YOnK, March 18. (Special. Henry
Glows, head of the banking house of Henry
Clews & Co., writes of the financial condi
tion In Wall street ns follows:
Conditions affecting Kcnornl business nro
usually satisfactory. Industrial, nRrlcul
turnl nnd transportation Interests are nil
actively employed nml thcro urc yet no
Indication of abatement. The most slu-
f lllcant event of tho week wns, of coursu,
ho enactment of tlio Bold standard bill Into
law. That buries tho silver Issue, puts tho
stamp of honesty iijkhi United 8tatrs obll
Kntlons and removes forever the distrust
which hud for yenrs threatened to under
mlno American credit nnd which Just four
yenrs ngo brought us to the verso of dis
astrous panic. The effect of tho bill upon
tho money market will bo felt gradually,
tho tlrst result belnsr tho Increase of circu
lation from !0 to lut per cent of par valuo
of bonds, .Much harm Is belnK dono by
sensational calculations of the amount of
Inflation the new bill will permit, Usunlly
theso statements have been put out by un
scrupulous or Irresponsible, parties who
wish to stimulate public buylnir of stocks
throiiKh spreading exaggerated Ideas of tho
probablu additions to our currency. As nl
rcady stated In theso advices, It will bo
somn tlmo beforo tho nmount of new cir
culation renchen J100,000,(XjO, If It ever
touches that Increase, under present condi
tions. .In view of the enormous expansion
of business nnd the Increased demand for
small notes for retail purposes, there Is not
much Inflation In this rwm. This addition,
however, Is likely to afford Important re
lief at n tlmo when most needed, viz,, for
tho crop movement next autumn. The hlffh
prices of Kovernment bonds lessen tho In
ducements for eastern banks to take out
additional circulation: but this will bo a
smnller factor In tho west nnd south, whero
hlKher rates of Interest prevail, In thofo
sections circulation can bo Issued with
greater prollt than here: nnd It Is precisely
there where considerable additions aro
most needed. Hhould this prove the coursu
of affair", as seemn most likely, It will
lessen tho demnnds upon eastern banks to
that extent, and so diminish the uosslhlll
ties of tension here. Tho monetary situa
tion, however, will benr watching when tho
usual fall demandn assert themselves. At
tho moment the money market Is adverse
to Increased buylnK of stocks; a poor bank
ntntement belnr anticipated nnd more com
Portable conditions cannot bu expected until
April settlements nro over.
Homo highly satisfactory rcadlnf? Is found
In the Kebruary returns of our foreign
commerce. The exports of merchnndlso
durliiK that month amounted to )U9,TG5,000,
tho lurfrert I'Ybruary exports In the Inst
flvo years. Tho Imports of merchandise,
wero quite lame, $CS,77 1,000. but the excess
of exports amounted to J30,!K)1,0W. nn In
crcaso of nearly CO per cent over the snmo
month Inst year. Buch n lnrRo and sudden
Addition to our trnde balance Is worth In
vcstlKatlmr. Theso nro the principal arti
cles of export for February:
1900 IfitO
Ilreailstuffs $17,206,000 T20,X7.1,(WO
Cattle 2.G2O.000 1,271,000
rrovlPlons 1.1.273.000 12.GC1.000
-Mineral oils G.fiOT.OOO 3,40.1,000
Cotton ...T 30,833,000 17,526,000
Cotton, It will bo observed, accounts for
nearly the whole Rain, and the rise In price
was nn Important factor. While tho quan
tity exported during tho month i-howed nn
lncrenso of about 30 per cent, value showed
nn Increase of 43 per cent, tho export prlco
rlslnK from C cents In February, 18W, to
nver 8 cents In Kebruary, 1D0O. Incidentally
It Is worth emphasizing the value of this
Increase In tho amount realized on tho cot
ton crop to the couth. If tho southern
'planter secures $50,000,000 moro for this
'crop than for Its predecessor It means
much for southern merchants and tho rail
roads, to say nothlnn of tho Industrial re
vival now KOlnR along at a stimulating
vacn In tho south.
Whllo the general Influences controlling
tho stock market nro sound, prices show
llttlo disposition to advance. As said
above, tho monetary outlook Is the chief
obstacle, added to which many of tho bin
operators are out of the mnrket, and recent
disclosures connected with Third Avenuo
nnd somo of tho industrials have had n
chilling effect upon speculation. These,
liowover, are only tempornry rctbacks. In
a few weeks. If not earlier, wo look for n
revival of conlldcnce, stimulated by tho
coming of spring, which will express Itself
In greater activity In stocks. Itnllrond
shares will offer the safest chances of
prollt, especially such securities as will get
it ho benellt of Increased earnings. Tho best
class securities nro gradually being with
drawn from the market and are selling too
'high to offer speculative Inducements. For
tho present wo advise buying only on
tho breaks nnd railing on good rallies.

CHICAGO, March 17. AH grain nnd pro
vision markets showed strength today and
closed at advances, provisions making a
now high mark for the season. Wheat
was nfTected by continued cold weather,
higher cables and heavy foreign engage
ments, closing at an advance of UW.ic
Corn advanced lie, onts HWc and pro
visions closed from IW,4c to 1214c higher.
The opening In wheat was marked by
a good deal of activity and strength.
Liverpool showed a good advance, follow
ing the gain In nrlcea here yesterday, but
tho chief factor for tho time being was tho
continued cold weather In tho winter wheat
ucft nnd tlio growing conviction among
traders that next week would bo marked
by a Hood of crnti tlnmnca retiorts nnd

This eulvanr.fi was sufllclcnt for muny

porary setback, .May reacting to C7Uc. with
considerable wheat changing hands nt
inoso figures, -rncn tno mnrKct agnin
turned upward and for tho remainder of
tho short Bcsslon buyers were largely In
tho majority. During the last hour of
trading a now ntid decidedly Influential
factor developed In the engagement for
export of 401.000 bu. here nnd forty-three
loads nt the seaboard, whllo foreigners
wero good buyers of futures'. Mny wheat
reacted to 67c, nnd at tho close was In

lantic Don clearances oi wnoai nnu nour
wero put nt 240.000 bu. It was estimated
that the world's shipments would be around
C.750,000 bu.
Corn was firm nt tho opening nnd at
the close, with somo weakness Intervening.
Tho strength or wheat and light country
offerings, coupled with n belief that liquida
tion Had ceased, caused a small open
ing ndvanco nnd a show of strength for
somo tlmo afterward. Then liberal real
izing, Involving Important Interests', caused
a reaction, but townrd tho close tho mar
ket again became strong, helped some
liv iirnvlslnns. nnd continued so to tho
close. Consldernblo activity was shown nil

CATTLE There wero not ennuch e.ittlo
to mako any test of the mnrket today, but
so far ns could bo seen tho few head on
salo brought Just about tho samo prices
as yesterday.
Tho cattle market this week has not been
cntlarcly to tho liking of sellers In that
irices Jiavo not been high enough nnd thero
s no doubt but what a lnmo nronortlnn
of tho cnttlo that have been sold at all
marKct points have lost money, or nt tho
best barely paid out. On Monday tho kill
ing cattlo of all kinds sold nt Just about
steady prices. On Tuesday receipts at all
market points wero largely Increased, and
thcro wus a general weakening of values.
On Wednesday tho heavy run kept up, nnd
values went still lower. Chicago reported
the poorer grades of cattlo selling that
day 25c lower than nt tho opening of the
week. The decline at this point did not
amount to quite that much, but tho market
on Wednesday was bad enough. On Thurs
day thero wns a llttlo better feeling and
still moro Improvement took plnco on Fri
day, so that fully half or moro of tho
decllno of Tuesday and Wednesday was
recovered. At the close of tho week It Is
safo to sny that tho market Is not over
10c lower on beef cnttlo than It was at .tho
close of tho previous week.
Cows nnd heifers experienced nbout tho
snmo decline ns beef steers mi Tuesday and
Wednesday. Tho best cornfed cows nnd
helrcrs did not stirrer so much as tho me
dium kinds, which wero hit hard. At tlio
closo of tho week tho best kinds of enn-
ners aro pretty nearly back to where they
wero beforo tho break. Tho medium kinds,
which wero pounded down tho most, nro
still a little lower than they wero last
WCOK.
A surprising feature of tho week's trade
has been tho very good demand for feed
ing cattle, which sold well all thn week
and at prices fully ns high as any time
tins seuson in spito or tno snnrp break on
fat cattle. The feeder buyers took a good
many of tho warmed-up or half-fat cattlo
for which they would pay a good deal
better prices than tho puckers. Tho beef
market would undoubtedly hnvo been much
worso than It wns had It not been for tho
fnct that tho feeder buyers relieved tho
market of so many of the half-fat steers.
Tho market on bulls went off at the
snmo time that tho mnrket broko on other
kinds of cattle, but when tho market re
covered on other kinds It did not Improve
on bulls. The demand for fat bulls seems
to bo limited nnd buyers claim that they
have been selling too high. Not ninny
stock bulls nre coming, and tho demand
Is not very large.
HOGS Tho week closed with n modcrato
run of hogs, but with a wild market. At
the opening prices wero all of 6tfi:l0o higher
nnd tho early sales wero largely at $1.92
04.07, with a few good loads at $5.00. Be
foro salesmen could all let go Chicago
came lower and buyers hero seemed to
come to the conclusion that they did not
want tho hogs so badly after all. The
market weakened and closed with the most
of tho ndvanco lost.
The hog mnrkot has been nil right this
week as regards tho selling Interests. Tho
week opened with an advance and on Tues
day the market wns still higher. On
Wednesday It dropped back almost 6c, but
recovered on Thursday and went still
higher on Friday. Tho week closed with
tho market at tho highest point touched
so fnr this year, and nt tho highest point
touched during tho month of March slnco
1S93. The demand has been good all tho
week and arrivals, though lurger than
usual, have met with ready Balo on most
duys at current prices. A glance at tho
table of average prices will show the aver
age prlco paid on each day of the week, as
well as comparisons with corresponding
weeks of previous years.
SHEEP Thero were no fresh receipts
and not many hold-overs In tho yards, so
that thero was not much of anything to
make a market. A few loads carried over
from yesterday sold, some ewes bringing
$5.00, which was 25c less than they have been
selling tor, but possibly tho quality was not
qulto so good.
Tho sheep mnrket was In good shapo all
tho week until Friday, when the demand
seemed to slacken and all of a sudden, buy
ers came to the conclusion either that they
had nil they wanted for tho tlmo being or
else that they wero paying too much money.
All day Friday the market wiu a drag, buy
ers not Heemlng to try to buy the stuff.
Still tho mnrket at the closo of tho week
could hardly bo said to havo been more
than 10c lower than the close of the
previous week. Ewes at tho close of tho
week seemed to he In poor request and somo
sold as much as 25c lower. If receipts are
not too hoavy operators look for a fairly
good market tho coming week.

Governor Roosevelt's two hoys, Teddy nnd

In tho yes of thcfr associates at tho Al

They aro chips of. th old block, nnd their
boxing Instructor '.tajBj they do not know tho
meaning of the word fear. They would Just
as willingly fight, a ,bJy twice their olze ns
one their own sljse. fi"Vhy," said tho In
structor, "sometimes tho kids have an Idea
they can lick mqnndjlf they keep on lll:o
thoy aro now, well,-IJiero Is trouhlo ahead
for any ono who' ishlooklng for It with
them."
Several local boxers wero tried as In
structor nnd trainer, ibut they did not nil
tho bill, nnd now'hc 'governor has a young
man, considered tq bo ono of tho best
athletes In Albany, who Is doing very well
vlth the boys. ,
A room on tho tnco'nd floor ofnthe execu
tive mansion has' been set nsldo "for their
use. Tho room Is stripped of atf furniture
and carpet, a wrestling mat being on the
floor, on which tho governor does his work
In prlvato with his Instructor. Tho boys re
ceive Instructions thrco times a week. They
aro Btrlpped of all clothing and attired only
In bathing trunks. Ono Is taken nt n time
and ho Is Instructed In tho various at
titudes to bo assumed. Tho boxer some
times stands on tho defenslvo a.nd tells
tho boys how they must lead, tho feints,
crosses, drives and tho advantages of quick
ness of tho feet nnd eyo In being able to
tako advantago of an opening. This Is all
right, but tho teacher says ho finds It hard
work to mako tho boys assumo tho defensive
nnd resort to tactics of getting out, of tho
way of leads or attempts to bring them In.
"Why, they want to do tho leading them
selves all tho time," ho said, "and If I mako
a drive for thorn they won't get out of tho
way, but como right lu and go aftor me.
They aro doing wonderfully -woll for boys
nnd I tell you the7 would mako many fel
lows oldor than they nro look sick In a bout
whero science comes In."
Tho boys havo to punch tho bag Just so
long overy day the teacher Is present. After
tho cxcrclso Is over a bath Is given them
and they nrb then put on tho long table
which Is in the room and a good rubbing,
such 08 all athlcteB rccclvo after thoy have
finished their work, Is given them.
Tho governor Is doing well In tho art of
wrestling, and his trainer finds that be has
a hard proposition on hand. William Car-
lln, ono of the best-known athletes of this
city and at one time a famous oarsman, has
tho governor In charge Tho governor likes
tho catch-as-catch-can game, and Is as
quick as a flash In getting his holds. He
still clings to tho favorlto western stylo of
wrestling cross buttocks and it Is. a hold
that ho uses most doxtcrously.

TIPS FOR AMBITIOUS YOUNG MEN
Mistakes of Parent In CIiihkIiik Oc
viiluttloiiH or PmfoHilon for Their
Cli 1 1 it re 11 Some Objection
to .louriiiillsni.
"Truth nnd courage theso should be tho
watchwords of tho young man starting In
life," said Colonel Thomas Wentworth Hlg
glnson to a representative of Success.
In tho cheerful winter of a long nnd noble
llfo of varied experiences, ns a preacher.
soldier, statesman, poet, author and lecturer,
nono Is .better qualified than this genial
philosopher to ndvlso young men concern
ing tho graver questions of life.
"I should urgo a young man beginning
his career," said Colonel Hlgglnson, "to be,
nbovo nil else, In earnest; nnd to that I
should add, that ho must not ho too much
In earnest. Uy this, I mean that ho should,
whatever ho tnoy bo doing, havo his mind
sufllclcntly open to bo nlwnys considering
whether It Is the best thing ho can do, nnd
not to bo nfrnld to modify, or even change,
his courso of action, If something better
offers. In other words, I should name, ns
tho first requlslto for success In life, nn
earnest and nohlo purpose, and, as tho
second, tho power of adaptation. I think n
great many suffer from being tco early
committed to somo ono thing, nnd so ndhcr
Ing to that ns to dwarf tho rest of life.
l'lrxl, Mnke Sure of Your Vocntlon.
"Of course, It may bo urged, on tho other
side, that thero Is tho danger of vacillating,
of .being too changeable; nnd, perhaps, moro
err In this direction than lu tho other. Uoth
nro sources of danger, nnd must, If life Is to
rise to Us highest nnd spell out Its true
meaning, bo carefully guarded against, as far
as It Is possible to do so.
"Tho danger of being too changeablo la
especially apt to predominate In n, country
llko ours, whero things aro more in a stale
of flux, less fixed and settled than in older
countries, nnd whero thcro aro moro oppor
tunities to branch out Into now fields. In
England, for Instance, If ono starts In somo
particular lino, It Is very dlfllcult to get out
of It, but hero It la a comparatively easy
matter.
"I should, therefore, say to young people;
'Ilovaro of tho temptation to persist In fol
lowing nn occupation or profession, merely
hecnuso you havo started In that, when onco
you find that you aro utterly unndaptcd to
It; nnd still moro bownro of the temptation
to fly from ono thing to nnother, to bo con
stantly fluctuating In your choice, for this
will surely lend to falluro nnd disappoint
ment an lncompleto life.'
Let Much Select for Himself.
'In regard to tho cholco of nn occupation
or profession, I think It la a mtstako for
parents to try to mako a selection for their
children, for It Is not by any means certain
that what they select will bo best. Even
when n young man chooses for himself. In

many Instances he has to try several times
beforo ho hits on the right thing.
"Fifty years ago tho clerical profession
still held Its own, nnd It was very common
for n young mnn of nblllty nnd good char
acter to mako It a starting point, and then,
nfter a time, undertake something else. A
great mnny eminent authors, etntesmen, nnd
even artists, began ns clergymen. Hut that
period has passed, nnd young men nro now
much moro likely to start In law or Jour
nalism." It may bo remarked, In passing, that
Colonel Hlgglnson himself began In the min
istry. Ho fought bravely In tho civil war
nnd was tnndo colonel of the Flrot South
Carolina volunteers (afterwards called tho
Thirty-third United States Colored
Troops), the first regiment of freed slaves
mustered Into tho national service. Slnco
tho war ho has devoted himself exclusively
to literary work and lecturing.
"I nnd," said Colonel Hlgglnson, "that law
nnd Journalism nro tho two things most at
tractive to young men leaving college. Jour
nalism comes first In point of nttractlon,
probably becnuso tho first stops nro eo much
easier than In tho law nml because It prom
ises Independence from tho start. Young
men who enter tho profession of Journal
Ism nro ablo to support themselves from the
first, whereas, In tho tnnjorlty of cases,
those who study law nre, for tho tlmo being,
dependent upon somo ono else.
"Whllo tho study of law has, op tho ono
hand, this disadvantage, It has, on tho other,
tho far greater ndvantngo of being n better
training for tho mind. A thorough legal
training teaches a man to work harder; and
whllo, of course, no nmount of training, ed
ucation or culture can bo too groat for tho
young man who nlms nt tho higher wnlks
of Journalism, It Is, nevertheless, truo that
mo first steps In Journalism como a llttlo
too easy when compared with the law, and
that It Is much less dlfllcult to gain ncccss
to tho lower grades of Journalism than even
tho lower grades of the profession of law.
"Ono of tho greatest objections to Journal
Ism, In Its present stage, Is that It Impairs
tho senso of accuracy. It develops activity
and vivacity of mind rather than corrost
noss. Everybody wants tho latest bit of
news and all nro willing to take their
chances of Its reliability, nnd this helps to
fix in tho mind of tho Journalist a tendency
to looseness of statement,
"From a monctnry standpoint tho prizes
of tho law nro much more tempting than
thoso of Journalism. It Is not raro to find
Journalists doing a great deal of lino work;
and very powerfully Influencing a whola
community, whoso annual income does not
equal what a leading lawyer would make
by a Blnglo case. Tho great wealth in Jour
nalism goes to tho proprietors of tho pipers.
"In tho modern rush for money-getting,
In business llfo particularly, tho danger Is
that tho end will bo forgotten In the moans;
nnd, hy tho tlmo a young mnn haa succeeded
In getting money, ho will forget how to uso
It. Hu has stayed underground In his goht
mlno until his eyes nro as blind as tho sight
less flshcu of tho Mammoth Cave, and to,
finding that ho cannot escape out of money-
