CHICAGO , Feb. 9. Wheat wont down
with a rush today , nnd after losing 2c nnd
Kinaihlng all previous low prices closed
wllli May lic lower nt CO ic. Free Belling
by Armour two hours after the opening
Marled thu dentine , and from that on the
tilling was fast nnd furious , Corn resisted
the action of wheat and closed unchanged
for May. O.its closed ' c lower. Provis
ions , In sympathy with wheat , finished lower
all around , .May pork losing ICu.
Wheat opened steady with May ' , &c
lower nt C2'/tc. The Indication1. ! that a very
heavy cold wave was bearing down on the
rain-soaked regions ahU'd the discomfited
bulls In galnliig a llttlu of tholr lost nor.ve ,
nnd May soon advanced to G2c , where It
closed yesterday. Until It "o'clock honors
were easy and fluctuations were confined to
n \kf \ llinll. Hut the news of the day was
generally -bearish. Cables were not encour
aging , and the northwestern receipts were
ng.iln Inexcess of those of last year. The
oxpnrt clearances were under 200,000 bu.
Lester sold n big lot of wheat for Armour ,
who had bought yesterday. That started the
decline and Slay went down to C2',4c. From
that figure It recovered slightly and then
with another slide went down to G0c , the
lowest prlco for Mny ever made on the Chicago
cage board. A long line of New York wheat
r.nmo out , liquidation by St. Louis parties
followed and everyone seemed to have sell
ing orders. The selling at times was of a
HCinl-panlclry character and continued to the
close with a rally of but ' /iC at the finish
from the day's bottom figures. May opened
' /de lower at C2'/ic , advanced 14c , declined
TAc , rallied % c , lost VAc , milled 'Ac to close
nt C0c.
In corn there was not much doing , the
market ruling rather quiet. The feeling de
veloped was steady , considering the action
of thu surrounding pits. The market
showed strength at the start. Initial trades
being at a fractional advance , and upon
good buying sold up from ' .fcc to 'Ac more.
The better tone was duo to the stormy
weather and moro active European Inquiry
for cash corn at higher prices. It went down
% c In sympathy with wheat , rallied 3kc ,
became steady and closed with May at the
opening figures and'but ' Vic from the highest
prices of the day.
There was a stubborn market In oats.
Business was moderate and prices held
within a % c range , being firmer and ' , c.
higher early on the early steadiness of
wheat , but later when wheat weakened prices
receded 'Ac and the close was easy , with
May but % c above the bottom figures ot the
day.
1'rovlslons were dull early and steady with
an undertone of weakness. The offerings
were light and some disposition was exhib
ited on the part of local operators to ad
vance prices , duo to slightly higher prices
for hogs at the yards and the unchanged
condition of wheat and corn. Later the
bottom fell out of the market on the break
In wheat andon the product being offered
down In the absence of any support what
ever. The market closed weak and near
the Inside prices of the day. Compared
with last night May pork Is 45o lower , May
lard lOc lower nnd May ribs 22',4c lower.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat ,
83 cars ; corn , BOO cars ; oats , 163 cars ; hogs ,
10.000 head.

NEW YORK , Kcb. 0. The stock ! market
Is suffering from general lassitude and moves
with general hesitation upward and down
ward. There Booms to bo no settled plan
of action or regularity of movement. While
ono set of stock advances another Is going
down. Today's trading , If Sugar nnd St.
Paul be excluded , was hardly suniclent to
make a market and some of the usually
active stocks were scarcely noticeable In
tire dealings. At the opening the market
was Urni. The railway and miscellaneous
bond market was a trifle strong for tlio day.
The 1'ost says : What today's Irregular
stock market chiefly suggested .was the wish
of spoculatots for each account to reduce
their outstanding contracts. The result
was a slow and confused movement of
prices alternating with complete stagnation.
At the Ktart. yesterday's sellers for the
short account bought back their stocks and
prices throughout the list had a considera
ble advance. Later In the day the forenoon
purchasers of .stocks began to lot tlielr hold
ings go and a" reaction followed. The clos
ing was uniformly firm. There wqs little
news beyond what was canvassed yester
day. The treasury's gold reserve today
practically touched the hundred million
mark for the llrst time since August 17 ,
1S93. The gold payments for bonds this
morning were obviously far heavier than
payments In notes. Wheat broke again
today , but this will bo offset In the granger
stocks by reports that , however It must bo
done , the full spring dividends on the lead
ing granger stocks will bo declared.
The following are the closing quotations on
the leading stocks on the Now York ex

Ex-Governor Furnds of Drownvllle Is at
the Paxton. During the strained relations
which existed between the north and south
In 1SC2 the ex-governor was placed In com
mand of the Second Nebraska cavalry , com
posed of volunteers. Instead of being sent
to face the fee In gray the colonel and his
regiment were kept busy looking nfterv
Indians between Omaha and Fort Sully/ /
Speaking of that ' memorable campaign the
old warrior said"If any ono thinks for
one moment that1 the' Second Nebraska was
not'kept exceedingly busy during the war
they nro laboring under a hallucination.
We were mustered 'In during 1SGI nnd
camped In Omaha , near the present Union
Pacific headquarters , which was then the
Herndon hotel. Later , we pitched our tents
in the vicinity of the High school , which
was nt that time thq old capltol grounds.
Finally wo got word , , of depredations com
mitted by the Indians , and started out after
them. Our first marah was from here to
Sioux City. Then W9 proceeded north ns
far as Fort Sully. We fought , the battle of
the Dig White Stone on September 3 , 1SC2 ,
and , although outnumbered by the red
skins at a ratio , bf ten to ono , wo licked
them good and ha."rd , 1 don't know how
many , Indians MajorPearman of Omaha
killed upon thatoccasion , but , I understand ,
ho hasn't got through counting them yet.
I would rather fight confederates any time
than Indians , because the latter are a
treacherous -and ambush foo. On our
campaign wo started In pursuit of them ,
but I'll bo hanged If they wasn't so
slippery that they gave us a decoy and
slipped around behind us. Our scouts were
all ahead and wo traveled for miles before
wo found out that the pesky reds were be-
hlnds us Instead ot In the lend. Then we
doubled back and caught them at the Ulg
White Stone , which resulted In a bloody
battle. The old Nebraska Second was all
right , as was proved when Us courage was
tested upon that occasion. "
"Ex-Governor Doyd has gone to southern
Mexico to Invest In Mexican mines , and In
cidentally to Inspect a largo tract of coffee
land , remarked a man about town at the
Mlllard. " "Ho will bo Joined In the City of
Mexico by W. W. Catlln of Chicago , and ex-
Consul Sutton of AVnshlngton , und will pro
ceed southwest for a distance of 1GO miles
for the purpose above named. An eastern
syndicate Is behind the scheme , and. It In
cludes Den Cable of Illinois , Joslah Qulncy
of Massachusetts dud other capitalists. It
is the Intention of-tlio syndicate to purchase
a largo tract of coffee lands , reclaim them nnd
engage in the cultivation of coffco on an ex
tensive scale. "
"Colorado will have a golden crown as well
as a silver ono , " remarko d Supervisor
Pierre D , Russell of Denver , In the Paxton
corridor. "There nre n number of new gold
strikes at Crlplo Creek. Yankee Hill , Cen
tral City and other mining camps through
out the state. The state Is recuperating
wonderfully from Its recent depression ,
nnd If the newly discovered gold mines nro
developed nnd the annual output ot yellow
metal is increased correspondingly , Colorado
will be well fixed no matter which way the
financial question jumps. The people out
our way , however , nro still un
alterably In favor of the free coinage
of silver , because ns n sliver producer Col
orado will not take a back seat for anybody.
Politics In Colorado are a little mixed , es
pecially at city hull. The board of aldermen
Is deadlocked and has split square in two.
There are twelve members of that body ,
and the divisions nro now known ns the big
six and llttlo six. There Is some talk among
the populists , fusionlsts nnd Independent re
publicans of nominating Hon. I. N. Stevens
for congress. Stevens has for yearn been a
leader In the republican ranks , hut recent
developments Indicate that ho has had a llt
tlo difference ) with other moguls of the 0.
O , P. , and the result Is that ho Is looking out
for his own political Interests. The special
session of the Colorado legislature has ac
complished very llttlo nt a great expense
to the taxpayers .of the state , but It Is evi
dent that notwithstanding nil the ridicule
heaped upon Gov r/ior. / Walto , his pull among
the populists seems 1 ° , be III a good , healthy
condition. " ,
"I belonged to , ho ] famous Seventh Penn
sylvania cavalry.rdurlng the war and I'm
mighty proud of It , " ' said L. J. Wood of
Carlisle , Pa. , at the'Mercer. "That regi
ment was In many a1 battle and lost more
men at the front thitn any other regiment
In the war. Wo' ' never had but ono coward
In our ranks. Ofice' ' while wo were sur
rounded he displayed > hls cowardice and was
killed by one of his otvn comrades for doing
It. That Is the waywo weeded out cowards
In our ranks , anil tl'ipro was mighty few of
them after that. OUr1 colors were never al
lowed to trail In * the dust. If the man
who was holding the dear old flag was nhot.
he held on to the colors with the grip of
death until another man could snatch 'em
up and wave them on high again to urge
the boys on. I tell you that Old Olory has
a wonderful effect on a man when ho Is
swinging a' saber or pulling a trigger. Al
though the ntnoko Is thick und blood runs
like water , the stnrn nnd stripes waving
through It all glveu a man renewed courage. '
After the first volley Is nrcd In battle , n
Boldlcr loses his nervousness and ho makes
the nght of his life. Previous to the ilr.it
battle nearly all the boys feel a bit ner
vous , but most of 'cm go on the theory
thut they would rather be a dead hero than
a live coward. They act accordingly. The
remedy ot the Seventh Pennsylvania for
cowards was ( julck , curtain and effective. "

Ilccoljits so far this week compared with
last show n gain of about 400 cattle und
1,200 hogs , whllo sheep supplies have fallen
off nearly l.GOO head.
On account of the continued light cattle
receipts and the slightly better shipping
demand for thcnt the market Is beginning
to show some symptoms of recovery , and al
though this may bo and probably Is only
temporary It Is none the less acceptable to
stock growers and handlers. The demand
Is still very limited , but slaughterers are
compelled to have some cattle , and this Is
about the only reason for the firm markets
yesterday and today. Prices today were
unevenly higher from strong to u dime
higher and with less than sixty loads on
Bale the offerings were not long In changing
hands. Some good 1,200 and 1,393-lb.
beeves Bold at $3.00 nnd $3.G5 , while fair to
pretty good 1,000 to 1,200-lb. steers sold at
$3.25 to $3.10 and nothing of any conseriucnce
sold at tinder $3.15.
There was a lively market for butchers'
'and canners' Block and prices ruled a shade
higher nil around , common to fancy cows
and heifers selling at from $1.85 to $3.10 ,
calves at from $2 to $3.50 nnd bulls , oxen
nnd stags at from ? 1.7G to $3.
Duslncss In stockers and feeders was com
paratively light , both mipply and demand
being limited. Prices , however , were well
sustained nnd there was a good , llrm feeling
on all sides. Good to cholco feeders nre
quoted at $3.003.-IO ; fnlr to good nt $2.70

HOGS Although the receipts today were
rather liberal , the market scored another
5c to lOc advance , but the close
was rather weak and unpromising for Sntur-
day. There were some G.filO head received ,
the general quality of the offerings averag
ing up very good. All local houses were out
after supplies , and with encouraging reports
from the east , dealers were not long In get
ting do.wn to business. Never In the history
of the market at this point 1ms the range of
prices been narrower , when the quality of
the hogs Is taken Into consideration. Good
hogs weighing from 189 to 3C5 Ibs. brought
the top and common to fair grades weigh
ing from 209 to 378 Ibs. sold at the bottom.
The top was $5.05 and the bottom practically
$5 , although some common light stuff sold
on the very weak close at $4.95. On Thurs
day the hogs sold mostly nt $4.95 and * $5 ,
and a week ago today$5.15 and $5.20 bought
the big bulk of the offerings. Representative
