levi'l today. Thcro wcro n few sales foi
JMny ns low as D7" > ic , but the bulk of the
Unit transactions were nt from 58c to n Rliailc
lilKlior. That was n drop of from ' , .0 to % c
Miieo yesterday's close. Humors of Impend
ing failures In the trade licro had been freely
circulated on the curb yesterday afternoon.
One firm sold about COO , 000 bu. of wheat
nfier the close yesterday , It wan claimed.
Thcro was n wave of returning confidence
vlilrh endured for about twenty minutes
nftcr the start , but despairing sales by un
nerved holders nt the Blight ndvnnco which
nrrnrred sent prices tumbling again , and be
fore forty-live minutes of the session had
passed the prlco of May hnd dropped to 57'c ,
u now low prlco record. The Liverpool innr-
Jiot was weak nnd the continental markets
iamo : lower for futures. There had been u
recovery here from G7',4c for May to ti8e ,
but the decline In continental cables causei !
nnothcr downward reaction to from u7c to
r.77 < ie. There were plenty of buying
orders late In the day which gave the market
n ( Inner tone toward the end and CSe was
Ilio ruling prlco about half an hour from the
close. Thcro were a few sales nt C8c near
the close , and May closed at the top. May

Corn was moderately active , fluctuations
being n little more frequent within limits of
from % ( ! toic. . The general tone , with the
exception of n short spell nt the opening ,
win firm and the closing showed n gain.
The opening was fractionally lower and sold
nff a slmdo more , but at the decline a good
demand was developed and advanced from
% c to % c. The market ruled firm , closing
with May at the day's top figures ,
In oats there was n fair trade nnd nn
Irregular feeling. The opening was weaker
and from % o to Uc lower , but reacted nnd
closed higher. Thcro was moderate selling
early , but later a better buying movement
developed. The rally In the other grains
itlso lielpcd the market. A good demand
existed for cash grain , which nlso assisted In
milking the tone better , and May closed at
the day's top figures.
Thcro was n fairly active trade In pro
visions nt better than yesterday's prices.
The lowest price of the day prevailed at the
opening and the highest nt the close. Hog
receipts were 20,000 head , Instead of 30,000

from the yards showed n decline of from 5c

NBW YO K , Fob. 10. The declaration of
tlio ( all ( ( tmrtcrly dividend ot Hi per cent
by the directors of the Chlcngo , Hurllngton
& Qulncy rnlhvny nt Its meeting today removes -
moves nn element of uncertainty on the
speculative Bltuntlon , the stock of the com
pany has been depressed by reports that the
.Tilings of the road did not Just ! . ' } ' tlic pay
ment 0 ! the regular dividend nnd thnl It
would bo certain ] } * senM. That It
has not been reduced / seems to bo
ncccptcd ns evidence that the directors of
the company have confidence In the future
nnd that If the money to pay the dividend
has been rarncd In the quarter Itself there
Is midlclent promise of better times to como
to Justify n continuance of the regular divi
dend payments. A decline of per cent
occurred In Burlington early In the deallUKa
on sales of Hinall lots of long stock , but , the
downward tendency wns checked by pur *
clmses on orders from Iloston. Then nn
upward movement was Inaugurated , the
prlco reaching 2 % per cent from the low
point of the morning. Realization ot prollls
caused n reaction ot U per cent at the close.
The railway nnd miscellaneous bond market -
kot wan moderately nctlvo nnd llrm.
The Post snye : Ono Interesting ques
tion wns Bellied toilny by the declara
tion of the Hurllngton & Qulncy full
quarterly dividend. Thin question wns
doubtful , because under the present
conditions n reduction ot the divi
dend would have been amply justified.
Whatever may hnvo been taken by the
Burlington's nctlotm there can bo no doubt
ns to its market effects. The prlco of Hur
llngton Itself advanced , before the day's
close , upwards of - polnlH from Its lowest
forenoon prlco. The other granger stocks
were Blmllarly though less aggressively
strong. Apparently this single Incident gov
erned the speculative feeling throughout the
market. Sugar certificates In particular ex
perienced an upward rebound of strength ,
duo doubtless to buying for the account of
yesterday's venturesome traders. Western
Union recovered sharply and New York Cen
tral stock advanced 1 point. Ontslilo of these
stocks , however , activity was very slight.

NEW YORK , Kcb. 10. II. 0. Dun's
weekly review of trade ) soys : This has been
n week of record , breaking In wheat , In
silver , In some- forms of Iron and steel ,
nnd coke at Co'nnollsvllle , ns well ns In
cotton nnd woolen goods , nnd the lowest
prices ever known have been made , nnd It
Is grntlfylng that disaster has not resulted.
While no action affecting business prospects
was taken nt Washington , the continued
discussion of revenue and monetary meas
ures and the uncertainty regarding them
hnvo n constant unfavorable Intlucnco nnd
Indifferent market ! ) have caused sudden line
Illations In prices. Wheat nt G0 % cents Is
not only lower by 4'/i cents than It wns for
a single day last year , but lower by 3U
cents than It had over been In the previous
seventy-seven years ; A visible supply of
over 7U,000,000 bushels "February 10 , with
sales and receipts from farms con
tinuing large , lias completely dcBtj-oycd
faith In the oltlclnl reports of the
yield last year , and caused enormous
liquidation. Itecelpts last week were
but 1,810,311 bushels , ngainst 2,001,800
last year , but Atlantic exports wore only
C59,9t2 ! bushels , against 1,013,015 last year ,
ami the recent decrease In foreign demand
has been nn Important factor. Some trust
companies have arranged to advance money
ngainst wheat as collateral security , but with
results not ns yet encouraging. Corn and
other products fluctuated but little , though
receipts of corn were large.
Cotton declined % cent , with Increasing
distrust of short crop estimates. The re
ceipts from plantations for this Week have
been larger than n year ago , nnd at no time
small enough to support the Idea that tlio
crop of 1SU3 wns but 0,600,000 bales , which
would mean that 300,000 bales are yet to
come Into sight In over six months.
The slight recovery In prices of Iron pro
ducts has not been maintained , llcsscmcr
pig has declined at PHtsburg to $10.65 , and
gray forgo to $9.65 and steel billets nro sold
below | 16 there , while at Philadelphia most
rolling mill products nro lower than over.
The decline Is the most noteworthy because
on Increase In the demand is reported both
In eastern nnd western markets , especially
In structural Iron at the west and hero ,
where several largo buildings are projected.
The demand for wlro rods , nails and fence
wire continues remarkably large nnd sus-
tnlns prices , but rails are stagnant. Con-
nellsvillo , coke sells nt 85 cents , the lowest
prlco ever made , nnd while the output In
creased for the wcok 1,633 tons only Cl per
cent of the ovens are in use. Heavy reduc
tions In the price nl lake ore Is reported ,
with largo contracts at $2.75 , Cleveland de
livery. Minor metals are weaker , with re
stricted consumption.
Shipments of boots and shoes from the
east arc 10 per cent less than a year ago ,
with cheaper grades predominating In orders
and In manufactures , and not so many fac
tories fully employed.
Textile Industries dp not seem to have
gained within the .past wcok , for as many
works have closed as- have resumed work
nnd In woolen and cotton manufactures
more. Thcro has been a sharp break In
print cloths to 2i cents , some of the best
known cottons have been put at the lowest
prices over made , and there Is more talk of
a general closing o'f mills.
The demand for woolen goods does not Im
prove , and sales o'f wool decreased sharply
after the brisk activity , two weeks ngo , being
only 4,11-1,591 pounds for the week. Though
some grades are scarce ? nnd prices relatively
higher west than , , here ; the markets do not
advance.
Exports of merchandise were about $500-
000 more for the 'week than last year , and
for six weeks' the Increase has been only
$3,100,000 , or 7' , . per centf but imports last
week were little more than half ns large as
last year , and for the year thus far the de
crease is about 42 per cent.
Failures for the week have been 323 In
the United States against 197 last year , and
fifty-five In Canada against thirty-six last
year. Though several were of some magni
tude , the aggregate liabilities was appar
ently below the weekly average for January.
For the week ending February 8 the liabil
ities thus far reported were only $4,079,057.
With nearly complete returns for January ,
the aggregate of liabilities In 2,080 failures
Is $30,946,497 ; of which $11,631,305 was of
manufacturing and $18,193,416 of trading
concerns.
lIKADSTKKIiT'S HKVIEW OF TIIADU.
TarllT Uncertainty Still Affects lluslness to
u CoiiHldorublu Kxtfiit.
NEW YORK , Feb. 16. Dradstreet's to
morrow will say : Telegraphic advices from
leading trade centers make It plain that the
volume of general business since the begin
ning of the month shows a decrease as com
pared with the corresponding portion of
January this year , and It Is dlfllcult , of
course , to determine how much of It Isduo ,
to a natural temporary recession of the wave
of the Incoming tide. There is a disposition
to continue disposing of stocks and buy for
Immediate wants until after the tariff ques
tion Is disposed of. This evidently Is having
bomo effect. Commercial travelers for dry
goods , clothing , hardware , shoes and other
houses , In a number of Instances , are on the
way homo or hnvo arrived homo and report
many orders of those secured dependent on
the passage or otherwise of the tariff bill.
Snow nnd storms have temporarily checked
business In the west , many railroad lines
being blocked and country roads rendered
Impassable , though northwestern advices nro
that the snow Is valuable to wheat. The
greatest nctlvlty In commercial lines is In
dry goods , hats , shoes , rubbers , and In the
south In plantation supplies nnd fertilizers.
Whent prices have ngaln gone below pre
vious records , with as Httln certainty ns
previously that they have touched bottom.
Anthracite coal production will continue
restricted this month , and prices for stoves
dave been cut 25 cents.
Cattle nnd hogs nro In full supply nnd
15 cents lower nt the west. Wool Is duller ,
with manufacturers working on orders and
buying as needed. Uyo Is In good demand
nnd strong. Sugar Is % to U cent higher.
Bessemer Iron at Plttsburg holds Its 75 cents
advance , nlthough fears nro expressed of n
reaction , now that makers will begin to pro
duce from lower prlqe ores. The recent expan
sion of demand for iiaunfactured ) Iron and
steel continues , although checked by con
sumers awaiting on the disposition of the
tariff by congress ,
The recent government report on cotton
marketed from plantations Indicates n prob
able crop of 7,100,01)0 ) bales.
Brndstrcot's report of embarrassed banks ,
by clauses nnd sta qK for the calendar year
1893 , shows a total of 598 ( exclusive of South
Dakota ) , owing $170,000",000 nnd having $184-
000,000 assets. Nearly one-third , or 193 , hnvo
resumed , liabilities , having been only $60-
)00,000 ) and assets' $9.,000.000. The romaln-
ng banks , whose , doors are still closed ,
number 405 , the aggregate debts being $104-
000,000 nnd nssotn.l$89,000,000.
Exports of wheat ( Hour Included ) from
both coasts equal2,00j,000 bushels , against
2,678,000 tmsliols last , week , 3,080,000 bushels
In the second weu , of February last year
and 4,020,000 bushels In that week of 18)2. ! )
In the first nix weeks of the calendar year
1891 available wheat stocks In the United
States and Canada decreased , net , 3,900-
300 bushels , nnd In the same portion of 1892
the net decrease was only 3,025,000 bushels.
In a llko portion of last year the change In
the slza of available Blocks was an Increase
of 1,00(5,000 ( bushels , while In the past six
weeks the not available supply decreased
777.000 bushels.

At Cincinnati there Is an Increased Inquiry

Morcnntlla failures throughout the coun
try this week number 383 , against 336 last

At Chicago there has been no gain of Im
portance. In dry goods the volume bus do-
crcasod nnd the demand for leather Is below
expectations and stocks nro heavy.
Iliilldlng operations at Detroit nro smaller
than expected.
The most favorable trndo report Is from
St. Louts , the distributive demand for heavy
textiles , shoes and clothing there having
been stimulated by stormy weather.
The reverse appears true nt Kansas City

NEW YORK , Feb. 1C. llradstreofs
financial review will sny : More or less bear
ish sentiment has been aroused by the con
tinuance of the decline In wheat nnd the
professional speculators nro Inclined to dis
count the unfavorable effects upon western
railway Interests. The market , jhowover ,
continues Vpo narrow for any decided move
ment , the public hero nnd abroad taking no
part , while In the absence of such participa
tion the lenders of the street confine their
activity to n few specialties. Under the
circumstances , the Impression In prices In
the railway share list has been slight. The
tone of the market Is still Irresponsive to
the Irregular and changeable pressure
exerted by the board nnd room traders nnd
prices subject to rallies on covering of
shorts. The only feature of the week has
been Sugar , which ha ; been Influenced by
varying reports regarding the senate's nc-
tloil In regard to the sugar duties nnd the
movement of most consequence wns n sharp
decline In the stock duo to liquidation of
long holdings on Intimations that the hopes
of concessions to the sugar refining Interests
would be probably disappointed. The pros
pect of n speedy reorganization nttrarlcd
some attention to New England , and Chicago
cage Gns wns traded In energetically on the
veto of the ordinance giving privileges to nn
opposition company , nnd on the fact that
the veto wns sustained. Apart from this
there wns llttlo In the week's record worthy
of note , the attitude of speculation being
apparently unchanged.

FRIDAY , Feb. 1(5. (
So far this week , compared with last ,
there has been nn Increase of nearly 4,000
cattle and 3,000 * sheep , ' whllo hog supplies
have fallen off something llko 5,000 head.
Considering demoralized . condition of
the catllo market.on Wednesday nnd Thurs
day , supplies today wore- larger than might
hnvo been oxpectc-d , nlthough comparatively
light. H ( hero was any difference In the
quality of the offerings It was slightly bet
ter thnn oir Thursday. Them wns some Im
provement In the market , but hardly enough
to quote. Prices , however , nro so low that
speculators nnd feeder ' 'scalpers" took n
hand today nnd thl ? made business
somewhat livelier , nlthough .It did not
materially ndvnnco prices. Good to choice
fnt bcoves weighing from 1,050 to 1.3IS Ibs.
Eold nt from $3.10 to $3.60 , while fair to good
1,000 to 1.200-lb. steers Bold at from $3.05
to $3.25 , nnd fair to poor stuff nt from $3
down to $2.50. There wan undoubtedly n
firmer tone to the trade today , but It was
duo entirely to ( ho low prices nnd the
meagre receipts and not to any increase In
the demand from the dressed beef men.
A better feeling was nlso noted 'In the mar
ket for butchers' and cnnners' htock. The
supply was rather light , not over twenty
cars , nnd It did not take them long to
chungc hands. Sales Included \ery common
to very choice cows and hi'lfers nt
from $1.75 to $3 , the bulk of the
fnlr to good butchers' stock selling very
largely at from $2.20 to $2.45. Calves sold
nt from $3 to $5.50 for common largo to
prime veal slock , or good , llrm prices. The
market for rough stock wns generally a
shade ( Inner , $1.90 to $2.75 buying most of
the offerings.
Hiialness In stockers nnd feeders showed
more life and n llrmer tone. Supplies were
not largo and suitable grades met with n
ready sale at rather stronger prices. As on
the two preceding days qulto n good many
half fatted nnd only warmed up steers sold
to HIP feeder men nt belter prices than the
dressed beef men would pay. ( ! oed to choice
feeders nro quoted nt from $2.75 to $3.40 ,
fnlr to good nt from $2.75 to $3 , nnd lighter ,
commoner grades nt from $2.75 down. Rep

HOGS HccclplH wore not much different
from Thursday clllicr In quantity or quality ,
Imt fell over 1,000 head Hliort of lnnt Fri
day's run , tlio llvo days supply ( showing n
falling od compared with last week of nearly
5,000 hogs. The quality of tlio offerings , us
n rule , was good , Iho bulk of tlio recolplH
being Hfiht and medium weights.
Kvorythlng Indicated n lower market , and
the feeling nt the opening was very weak.
Shippers und speculators ware doing nothing ,
and reports from oilier markets wcro In the
main bearish , lluycrs for local houses
Dlartod In bidding lower , but aa Kellers wcro
stubborn and they evidently needc-d tlio liogs ,
tliey soon raised their linnds , and from tlio
time trading actually began up to tlio clone
the market continued to Improve , Into sales
lieliiR fully a nickel higher than early.
Weight cut llttlo figure , and fair to good
hogs sold early mostly at $4.85 and $4.90.
