The Spring Outlook
Very ClieciTnl.
Tlio Local Uosinno.
Hankers rcnort the money market * easy ,
and the supply b said to bo fully equal to all
legitimate wants. Kates are steady at the
usual figures , S to 10 per cent. Exchange is
( inlet at $1.00 premium. Collections in the
city are fairly good and the country is im
proving materially both in remittances nnd
orders. The outlook for the spring trade is
considered to bo very good , nnd while the
cold snap of the past few days bat retarded
the movement in dr.v goods nnd clothing
which was bcginnlni ; to sot in rapidly , the
Jobbers report that the sales to date exceed
those for the same time last year. Prices
uro as a rule low and buyers Icnoxv and
appreciate the situation , and are placing
liberal orders for seasonable staples , feeling
certain of an advance as soon as trade be
comes active. In groceries the tendency isle
lo higher prices all along the line , Dried
fruits hnvo more steadiness. Hlo codecs are
llrm ut the recent advance , and the fish
nmrkut is stftiwlng Increased activity ,
and cod , hcrrlnp , salmon and white
fish nro held stiff nt quotations. Consider
able interest attaches to the tea market Just
now , owing to the largo speculative buying
at XPW York , and while no general advance
is looked for , there is quick demand for the
liner Oolongs nnd greens , and a good general
demand for all linos. Sugars are easy and
steady at quotations. Oils are in good de
mand and very liberal supdly. Hardware
and luinuer have been reasonably active
thn past week , though trade was
somewhat retarded by the wintry weather.
The season has been good , however , and the
outlook for spring trade is excellent. Hoot
nnd shoe jobbers report liberal orders at
hand both by mail nnd from traveling men ,
and express satisfaction with the situation
gent-rally. Tho. produce markets are un
changed. butter nnd ogirs are in liberal sup
ply nnd excellent demand. Poultry is scarce
and prices nro higher , with a probability of
higher prices for the balance of the season.
The flour market is inactive
and the demand Is chiefly local.

most cases ICc higher , hut the advance was
due aluiosl entirely to the very light receipts.

TUB Ur.E.l Wheat was- rushed up "on the
curb" yesterday to { l.IOJtf ( or May , on the
"cold wave. " It opened there this morning ,
and advanced to SI.10/ , working down , how
ever , to fl.Oli'4' ' , nnd potting heavy and very
dull us the day nilvancod. It was conlldently
expected that the "Rcnornl public" would
rush In greedily this morning with buying
orders , nnd tlo ; till went out Unit the hull
lenders wore ( ping to tnho advantage of this
popular furoru to boost prices and then get
rid of some wheat. The grist , oC the orders
was smaller than expected , however , mid
the soiling of wheat commenced right front
the opening , so that the big boom failed to
materialize , to use a ualdhcaded , but ex
pressive phrase. The market was
In that respect a disappointment to
the oulls. The Dull lenders were
apparently able to part with some of their
wheat , nnd tluro wore well authenticated
reports of sales for their account early in the
day , amounting in all to several hundred
thousand bushels. It was also stated on the
authority of iroro than one receiving house
that considerable quantities of good wheat
arc pointed the way from all parts of the
country , a good many lots coming from MichIgan -
Igan nnd Indiana , nnd a few from Ohio.
Chicago is uuiuostlotmbly the best market
for good whoa : within roach , though good
wheat soils readily anywhere. Unkcr got
word to-day tint 8,000 bushels of ordinary
Chicago No. S spring wheat out of u lot
shipped last simmer , hud just been sold in
New York at n premium of 20e
over May in that market , That
fairly illustrates the esteem with
whieli the Chicigo ( .o"lract grade is held.
Aside from aliitloquiotsellingby the leaders
of the stories o' the probable increase In the
receipts , the rows was generally bullish.
The foreign uurkcts were quoted higher , and
private advices represent the French as hav
ing been steady buyers of California wheat ,
oft" the coast , for thenast ten days , at steadily
appreciating vtlues. The English markets
are uuquestionibly hardening of late. The
New York advices of clearings of 000,000
bushels in the risible supply went around.
Chicago also contributed a good sized bull
item. It was to the effect that vessel room
had been engafcd for 258,000 bushels of 1'a-
cillc elevator vlicat sold last week , and that
the grain wns being loaded already. The
rate at which room was chartered was a' ' e
to IJuffalo. Tlis news was supplemented
by the author.tivo statement that Manager
Ilnrpor was shipping out 100,000 busliels
by rail , in lots tf 10,000 bushels every other
day , 20,001) ) buslols to go Monday. An In
tensely cold vavo seems to have settled
down upon the'.vholo western country. This
lias a Icndencj' to harden the new crop
values. A little Hurry carried the market up
J c or such a uiittcr shortly before 1 o'clock ,
but the recover ? WHS not held , and the last
phase of the inirket was that of weakness.

Tbe corn marlet was inclined to weakness
to-day on a voo small amount of business.
The opening wai at , about the previous rul
ing prices , but sumo lots purchased last week
'at ' a lowfcr "price than is now current were
pressed for salifand wore one element of the
weaker feclinp The receipts were not
heavy , but wire again in excess of the
previous osthtiitcs. The export purchases
in New Yorlctr-day consisted of eleven boat
loads , and .tin clearances from Atlantic
ports ycsterdu.- were below the recent
average. The demand for shipment from
hero to eastern points was good , as it has
been recent'jy. One vessel was chartered
to-day for a Georgian Bay port , at 2 c ,
including freiclt and storage. The trading
for the day wassmall in amount and fea
tureless in chancier. The fluctuations were
confined to a HIITOW range , with the closing
prices about ' i-lo { to ? 8c under Wednesday ,
on deferred' , , an ) about ' c to " 40 higher on
near futures , the amount of business done
was much Undir'lho ' recent average. There
was no enthUsusin among the operators out
side of the us ud demonstration during the
first five minutia. Charters were made to
day to take outli3S,000 bushels of the recent
purchase on Hiffalo account. The rate was
yjic , including itorage , until the opening of
navigation. Inaddition to this , 10,000 , bush
els are being slipped by rail each alternate
day ; 'iO.OOO havhg already gone forward.
Oats were juiot and substantially un
changed withlnu narrow range. There was
an absence of the recent interest in May.
which was slew at 2iK2rXc ( , while the
nearer futures vero inactive. Juno touched
37c and was liter offered at that , and July
wns salable at lo discount. The receipts
were lair , will inconsiderable withdrawals
from store. No 2 to go to store sola at 25Jfc ,
or about ! &e inuroveuicnt.
The provisiot market showed considerable
strength. An advance in hogs since Thurs
day , of about lc , made the operators regard
the situation with more confidence. The
packers and tin old bear olcmcnt were more
conservative .ban usual in offerhnr future
products , and is the bullish feeling prevail
ing forced the'-ovcring off short contracts by
parties unwillng to let these lines stand
over Sunday , letter prices were established.

This had a stimulating effect here , and Urn

between these Wo companies has finally
been roiisuniaU'd , and this insures perpetual

ever , was St Paul common and preferred.
The yearly statement of that .company ; pub

(3,000,000 in revenue , caused renewed llqui-
dallon , The statement shows barely enough
to pay n 1 per cent dividend on the preferred

the entire session , nnd large sales wcro made
by the insiders. There ) is renewed talk of a

BATTERY HER PLAdE OF PRAYER.
A SlrnnRc Wttlo Old AVomtui Who
Mnki * Dally i'llRriinnKCN Tliltlicr.
Hut lory park on every pleasant tiny
1ms a curious nntl intcrestltip visitor ,
Buys the New York World. She is well
known to the Buttery boatmen mill the
the old-timo park Unmoors. No one
BL'uins to know whuiico she comes or
whither she jjoca. Her nrrivnl nt her
mvorllo sent is the sifrniil for mirth to
ooaso in the vicinity tintl the usual
itllors to ilispoi-so. Tlio "llttlo woman , "
nssho is callotl , has boon for twonty-llvo
yours almost u dally visitor to the Hut-
tory. Her iiffo no oao knows , hut those
who hnvo obsm-vod her closest think
slio cannot bo far from oighty.
But a trillo orcr four feet in hoipht
her weight will not exceed clrliiy {
pounds. Tlor snowy hair , complexion
of ti marble hue , ) ialo blue eyes , sunk
deep in their sookols , and still further
shut in on olthor side by protruding
cheek bones , bervos to ncecntuato an
npncnrnncu which strikes nil who see
lier with nwe. She always ivo.irs a
plain hlacli skirt , a sliort { frayish coat ,
and n plain black bonnet , all bcrupul-
ously nont. No sinilo ever softens the
sorrow-drawn lines in her face ; no ex
pression anvo that of dejection ever
shines from her oyes. On the most
blustering days when the wind swnops
across Battery park in gusts which
makes olronii men bend before it , she
paces Uio park with the air of a soldier ,
never deviating from her boatun
paths.
On reaching the big Ilag-atalT in the
center of the park slio clasps her
hands , and kneeling on the ground ,
bows her head In a prayerful attitude.
Her trembling lips sobm to frame n
prayer , but no ono has over hoard n
syllable of the petition so strangely of
fered. Then she slowly rises , unclusps
her hands , and , as if pronouncing n
benedictionmakes the sign of the cresson
on he'1 forehead , again bows to the flag-
stall1 , and then advances to the edge of
the Battery wall , where for n few mo
ments she look's wistfully towards the
Narrows as though trying to penetrate
the distance in search of some dear ,
lost friend. Kach visit is but a repeti
tion of the former. She never deviates
in one particular.
The strange character never ad
dresses any ono , and scornfully resents
any attempt to charm her into conver
sation. Many stories uro told about the
"Little "Woman , " but they are mostly
conjectural. All , however , agree that
the "Litllo Woman" ' in her youthful
days mot with a great sorrow. Some
say that her lover went to sea and never
returned , while still others say that she
conies to the Battery to look for a deal-
soil who sailed away and perished.

BRUTAL SPORT.
V Cruel Ilorac llaoo on tlio lee In
Canada.
. Ono of the most brutal exhibitions of
cruelty to horses over seen was attempted -
tempted to-day on the _ St. Lawrence
river ice opposite this city , savs a Mon
treal dispatch. It was a seventy-two
mile trotting race for an alleged purse
of SUOO , between three horses. Yellow
Bird , lieauharnuis Boy and St. Jerome
Girl.
Girl.Tho
The temperature was 10 ° below zero ,
the wind blow a , hurricane , and the
snow was so blinding that the drivers
had lo be changed every time they
mmln the circuit of the half-mile track.
The race was started ; it J a. in. and waste
to have been finished at 5. p. in. Be
fore the horses had gone ten miles
icicles had to bo broken oil their legs
and heads , and one of the horses , Boau-
harnais Boy , fell on the track. Ho was
raised up and made to go another lap ,
when ho was put into a stable for half
an hour and brought out again and
pounded into trotting.
The weather was so bad that oven the
spectators took refuge in sheds and
watched the race through tlio window
pnnes. St .loromo Girl on the thir
teenth mile cut her olThind leg so badly
that the blood streamed from it. She
was kept going by her brutal owner.
Half un hour later a bucket of hot water
melted the bloody ice which had formed
on her log half an inch in thickness.
Beauharnais Boy was dragged otT the
track at ! ! : ; > 0 p. in. and St. .leromo Girl
fell exhausted at 4:15 : , after completing
sixty-two miles. Yellow Bird made
'
Iwo'mllcs more at a gait slower than a
man's walk , staggering around the
track , and then stopped. After pound
ing her for live minutes inell'ectually
the judges gave her the race. Slio vvas
lame in both forelegs and covered with
ice when taken from the track.

Edward S. Loftns , who is now stay
ing in Chicago , says the Herald , of that
city , is the latest victim of the tarring
and feathering proceas. and is so well
satisfied with his novel dress that ho is
loath to part with it. Edward was at
Fort Dubson , Wyo. , a few days ago , nnd
during his stay there an assault was
committed upon a twelve-year-old girl.
The crimincl escaped and the olYonso
was attributed to Loftus. Early Mon
day morning a body of men culled at
his brother-in-law's house and de
manded admittance. Loftus wasscixed ,
bound hand and foot , thrown into a
wagon , and convoyed live miles across
the prairio. There every preparation
had been made for avenging the crime ,
Loftus was pulled from the wagon , dip
ped into a hogshead of lukewarm tar
nnd then covered from head to foot with
chicken feathers. It was proposed to
set lire to him , but. just when tlio light
was being applied Loftus broke and
iniido a dash for liberty. Ho was closely
pursued , but in the uncertain light of
the early morning , and while the bul
lets were whizzing around his head , ho
effected his escape. Hoiieliing his
brotherinlaw'house in safety ho se
cured his clothes and made olfto Kvans-
ton. From there he proceeded to
Cbeyonno , thence to Chicago. Loftus
is endeavolng to inuko nn engagement
