CHICAQO , March 27. Wheat wno or-
rntlo today. After many changes It closed
% o lower tlmn on the day before. Four
out of every five of the traders believed
that the market was being worked In the
Interest of the elevator men. Corn and
oats closed a shade higher for thd day and
provisions at a Blight advance.
Weakness In wheat early was duo to
rather uenoroua selling orders , to the ab-
sciicc of crop damage news and the rather
tame markets from abroad. The report that
( Hocks In the northwest would Increase
nearly 1 000,000 bu , this week also helped
to create the depression. But the senti
IP- ment gradually changed. Armour's brokers
wcro active buyers , the shorts began to
show uneasiness and cover freely and bull
talk became general. There was an un
usually active demand for vessel room re-
iiortcu and the rumored bljr cash business
of the last two days was looked upon as
Indicating a growing deslro on the part of
foreigners to secure domestic wheat. May
wheat opened Vic lower nt C3Hc , sold to
ClVic , then broke to C3c , but reacted and
Kradunlly developed strength , selling to
from G3o to Clc , and at noon was about
63c. The market cot dull and weak dur
ing the last hour , there was free realizing
oales at the advance and the late Mver-
pool cables wore Vid lower. May sold oft
to r 3V4c , where It cloyed easy.
Corn wnH llrm. principally owingto the
jooil demand for carloads In the sample
market and the moderate receipts. Cash
corn averaged Vic higher than on the day
before. Mny opened a shade under ycster-
day'H closing prlco at 29o. Improved to
from 29ic to 2-JT c , but reacted with wheat
! * and closed at 29c.
Data were fairly active and firm early
with a slightly higher range of prices.
Prices at the close wcro from Vic to Vic
off on May. Business was principally In
the way of exchanging May for July , buy
ing the former and selling the latter at
V.c difference.
Trading wag only moderate on the mar
ket for hog products , though the feeling
was steadier In a general way. as receipts
of hogs were not very large. Pork gained
7V4o and lard and ribs each Cc.
Kstlmated receipts for tomorrow are :
Wheat , 12 cars ; corn , 350 cars ; oats , 203

NEW YORK , Mnrch 27. n. O. JJun &
Co.'a Weekly llevlew of Trnile , which Is
sues tomotrow , will sny : Ko Importnnt
chnngo Ims occurted In the Rencrnl condi
tion of business during the week nnd It
trade In some respects looks worse , In
other respects It looks better. Sonic fnll-
ulcs of magnitude have occurred , which
have caused much apprehension nnd un
willingness to lend among bnhkcrs , nhd
there have been somewhat less favorable
features In the dry goods market , but In
Iron and steel conditions are bllRhtly Im
proved , nnd In boots and shoes
considerably more hopeful. Foreign
trade Is a llttlo more satisfactory , ex
ports from New York for thrco weeks
showing nn Incroisc over last year of C per
cent , whllo Imports have shown nearly the same
mto of decrease , and there are not wantlrts signs
that the domestic markets have been Bomcwh.lt
overloaded with many kinds of forcltrn poods.
In general , the course of domcstlo pi tecs tends
to favor the marketings of staples nbroad.
Wheat bail faced about n point , but corn nnd
cotrc-n remain unchanued. llecclpts of wheat nt
woitern points continue- surprisingly largo for
a most unfavorable season , nnd make It hard
to believe that the crop of P 93 was an small
ns estimates represent It , for such receipts )
amounted during the past we k to 2,901,721 bush
els , against 1,849,432 bushels last year , while
for four weeks of March they have been 11-
881,203. against 7,474,361 last year. Therehna
been n Might Increase In Atlnntlc. exports this
week , but In four weeks exports , llour Include ) ,
were 5,483,119 bushels , against C,453,103 bushela
last year.
In the dry Roods market the lateit Indications
do not warrant expectations that the mllli will
continue full production throughout the season ,
The demand for women's dress goods Is the
best feature of the woolen market , nnd thcte Is
about ni much dlfllculty aa at any lime In men's
wear departments , operations of clothlcis bclnff
hindered , not only by the prevalent strikes , but
by slackness of Immediate demand. The tales
of wool have * fallen to le9 than half a week's
full consumption. A striking feature this week
boa been a falo of 330,000 pounds of Amcilcun
\\ujl for shipment to England ,
The Iron and steel markets have disclosed a
similar feature , for a little Alabama plR has
been sold for export by the So ! s company ,
though few Imagine that much business of that
sort la possible.
The combination of the lake ore producers has
nt last announced Us prlcoa Tor the coming- sea
son , which nre : $4 for tlrst-clas * bcssemer , $3.40
to $3.76 for Mesaba , and $ J for non-bessemer
ores , nnd It Is calculated that with coke at
$2 per ton , bessemer pis can bo produced at
about $12.25 nt Pltuburg , which Is now the cur
rent price there. Ilut the slow marketing of
llnlshed products U still the main trouble.
Tiiero has been a. llttlo moro activity thlH week ,
and the Carnegie works have nold 10,00) tons
of steel rails to Japan , thus scorlnff a noteworthy
success , but In the main the market Is as
Inactive and Insulllclent ns It has buen.
A heavy failure In Texas will swell tha aggre
gate of returns for the past week , which In
cludes 239 failures In the United States , against
231 last year , nnd thirty-nine In Canada. , against
forty-two lost year.

NEW YORK , March 17 , Ilradstreet's tomorrow
will say : The week has brought more favorable
weather , which tends to create a better feeling.
Hut trade , except at Daltlmore , Minneapolis , Bt ,
Paul and Chicago , and , to a moderate degree , at
other polnls , remain * dull and unsteady. The
most encouraging feature Is the advance In
prices of wheat , corn and besicmer pig Iron ,
the latter being based on the higher value
placed on lake ores. Whllo there has been
law Ml" i ! dry giod * , show , hardware , Iron
nnd leather nt Chicago , business In other lines
continues alow. Ban Francisco's exports to A la
have fallen off , but those to Mexico and Central
America nre the heaviest on record , Portland ,
Ore. . Is sending large quantities of lumber to
the west coaat of South America , and Tacoma
Is sending cottcn clots , llour and lumber lo
trnmparltlc miikets.
Ons cf tht most unpleasant features U lack
of Improvement In mercantile colltctloas. This ,
with the commercial calm at many of the more
Important center * , points to a-/me of the vltetts
of the prolonged period of withdrawal of capital
from entcrpriies In Ue United Slates , and to
the unwillingness of accumulated domeitlo cap-
llul to seek new \enture * at present.
Export * of wheat ( Hour Included ) fiom both
Claris of tha United States * thu week are oily
fllirhtly htuvlcr than lait wetk , and far below
the usual weekly average , amounting to 1,744,000
biuhfl * . compared with 1,593.000 bushels In the
previous week. One year ago the corrntpondlng
weekly aggregate wan 2,262,000 buaheU ; two

UBO 2l > 75,000 buahelt. itnd In the corresponding
wrote of U93 It wa * 2.697.000 bushel * .
Only 27C bu lnea * failures ate reported In
the pnltcd Htalca. compared with 300 last week ,
but an unusually large proportion of them an
of comparatively heavily capitalized concern * .

NEW YORK. March 27. The nil Important
topic In financial circles today nai a rlso In
the ratci of sterling exchange to within Vt per
cent of the figures nt which It Is estimated gold
cuuld l s exported without loss. The probability
of gold exports within the next two weeks , In
default of a change In the financial situation ,
was pointed out yesterday. Authorities on ex
change declare that nt $4. to for Blcht drafts the
yellow metal can bo shipped. The market closed ,
for t.le week nt Jl.SSVi for demand nnd $4.W for
cables. While the treasuiy rcserxo now nt.indM
nt the substantial total of $123,215,589 nnd It Is cl > -
\lous that n fairly considerable amount could
bo Milpped without reasonable causa for nlarm ,
nevertheless It Is true that the sentimental cf-
fc-'t of a ucutrence of the outflow might have
scrljus results , not only on the prices of rail
way fccurllles , but In other directions. Foreign
Investors are keenly alive to the situation , es
pecially ns they have learned that the' Ti ennui y
department at Washington Is rollcltous to the
extent that It contemplate * as remedial measures
to nnv further rtrenglhcnlng of the cxciinnKQ
market either another call on the bank depos
itories for a part of their ho'.dlngs of government
K ld. or another Increase In Iho premium on gold
bare , London wtut a teller of American secur
ities , belli In Its own and In this market , today
on the considerations noted.
Considerable anxiety Is felt In mercantile cir
cles , as further contraction of thn market for
commercial paper Incident to the manipulation of
the market by the trade inlnlit have unfoitunate
results. The stock masket displayed a moderate
Increase In business , with the dealings In Amci-
Ican Tobacco nnd Sugar refinery altcsethor disproportionate
proportionate- the trnnmctlons In tha other
shares. The first mentioned figured for 51,00)
shares , out of an aggregate of 133,000 shares.
'All the gossip rcgai ding the matter Is uf a char
acter calculated to depress the price , aside frftm
the expectancy In some circles of the declaration
of o. dividend on Wednesday next , hut steady ,
quiet bujliiK of large amounts has been a featuic
of the market for nome'tlmc pa t. Tnere has
also been a conldeinbb ! amount of stock covered
by shorts. The stock > dlBp8nyed some heaviness
at the outset , but thn ln'U price recoids u net
Improvement of 21i per cent. Ilaltlmorc & Ohio
attained some promlntnCiJ In the late trading
by a Jump of 1 % per * cht'on Increased dealings.
The general tnarlcct presented but few features
of Interest. The cpenlm ; w ( > s weak nnd lower on
the foreign t-elllng previously noted , lluslness
wafl quite moderate , and fractional losses oc
curred In nearly nil of thb loading rhares. In
Iho International , Lotlsvllle & NasMllle cave
way % per ccntoi oHugar nlco lacked
support , nnd loit , n .npolnt. The activity
soon subsided , and a % IIijll rally In prices was
succeeded by a falrly'stWay tone. In the final
hour fractional gains ivunMRenoral , Sugar recov
ering most of the early loss. The net changes
were generally slight .declines. Dullness was
about the only feature of | fc | railway bond mar
ket. Fractional 'declines occurred In the specu
lative shares , but the only pressure Wns In Union
Elevated firsts , which drojiped 3 per cent on light
offerings. The sales \YeiivJCS3.oo7. Gotcrnmenls
Were firm on purchases' tifftf.QW. .
The Evening Post's London financial cablegram
says : The stock mnrkcli were neglected and
dull today. Americans were weak , closing at the
lowest point. Knllirs have been heavily sold on
the Matabela outbreak , and the political situa
tion Kenerally In South Africa. The Dally
Chronicle's report of the purchase of Deln-
nr-a hay by England Is discredited In the city.
The Chinese loan prospectus Is out. It Is for
flO.OCO.COO at B per cent. The Issue pries Is 081 ,
and 11 Is quoted nt 2 per cent premium In the
markets. Gold wns bought here today for Japan.
It la probable that ai ( rood deal may go there ,
but the opposition will be spread over a long
period. It Is reported from llerlln that Chln.i
has ceded Port Arthur to Russia , but nothing1 Is
known on the subject here. The Pails bourse
wns steady cluilnir the day , but closed weaker
on the fall In Italians. Tha Ucrlln muiket was
steady ,

CATTLE-It was far from agreeable In
the cattle yards this morning , there being n
steady fall of rain during the most of the
forenoon. Only those who wcro obliged to
bo out remained In the yards and ns fast
na they were able to dlspo.se of their holdIngs -
Ings salesmen sought the shelter of the Ex
change building.
The receipts were slightly heavier than
yesterday , there being 1.173 reported In , ns
against 1,459 on Friday of last week. It was
a fair run for a Friday.
The market on boot steers was sow and
a good ihnrc of the forenoon was passed before -
fore much business was transacted. Sales
men wanted fully steady prices and were
not Inclined to part with their holdings un
less they could got fully as much an yester
day. On the other hand , buyers wanted the
cattle , hut they wanted them nt less money.
Cattle have been selling high henas com
pared with other markets. Yesterday was
the lowest day In Chicago eo far this year ,
and Kansas City was also low , while cattle
sold hero yesterday fu'ly steady and on
some kinds higher. The result was that
buyers were bidding lower today.
Only eight or nine loads of cows and
heifers were on the market and they Fold
readily tit about the same old prices. Ono
bunch of very choice heifers with a few
steers sold nt J3.SO. The demand for butch
ers' stock continues very Rood and every
thing In that line meets with ready Ba'.e.
On a good many days the receipts fall short
of the requirements of local packers ,
It was a. poor uay fet stackers and feeders.
The rain made the cattle appear at their
worst and no ono felt like looking1 at cattle
whllo the rain lasted. The market early In
the day "was very slow and hardly enough
business was transacted to establish prices.
Later , as the weather c'carcd , there was
ircuo llfo In the feeder division and quite a
good many cattle changed hands before the
close. Light cattle continue In very good
demand and some 500-pound steers sold at
$3.70 today , representative sales :

OrlKlii of tlio Fit in il "Anl-
inill Moil" of Iiiillu.
The story or the rearing of Romulus and
Remus , says the Now York Journal , has
been universally regarded as a harmless
bit of fiction , like so many of the stories
which the ancient Romans told so cleverly.
The undent Romans themselves probably
bcllevcj , to a greater or less degree , the
statement that these twins were stolen ,
when Infants , from their homo and brought
up by a she wolf. A wiser ago has agreed
that the thing was quite. Impossible.
Three objections have been offered
against believing such a story. First , a
wolf would not bo able to break Into a
human habitation and obtain booty In the
shape of a baby without attracting atten
tion . ; second , oven If she were successful
In this attempt she would not carry the
baby away allvo ; third , even If she carried
It nway nllvo she could not rear It , for her
other cubs , or her husband , would eat
It up.
An English traveler In India has , however -
over , discovered evidence which shows 'that
there Is very goad ground to bellevo In the
she wolf matter , as far as It relates to the
early youth of Romulus and Remus ; build
ers at Rome. Ho declares that there Is no
doubt that wolves carry off live bailies
and In some ( though rare ) cases rear them
to a healthy and respectable manhood. Fe ' 11
male human babies nre never raised In
this manner. It Is said , for tlio reason that
they nro timid , and because the .mother
wolf does not care to have any moro
women In the family than are absolutely
necessary.
The way In which the wolf-chlldron , as
Mr. NIelsen calls them , are obtained , Is as
follows ; A young she wolf has a litter of
cubs , and after a time her Instinct lulls her
that they will require flesh food. So she
steals out at night In quest of prey.
Soon she espies a weak place lu a fenca
( fences are generally constructed of thatch
ing grass and bamboo ) , which encloses
the habitation and grounds of some poor
villager. The wolf sniffs around for a
while , Just aa a dcg would that Is not certain
cf his surroundings , and flnally make up his
mind to enter.
Her purpose In thus trespassing upon
private property Is not. probably , to steal
a baby , but rather to posssso herself of
any helpless animals that may clmnco to
be In the enclosure.
Whllo prowling about Inside she looks
Into n hut , \vherp , perhaps , a woman and
Infant nre soundly ilccphijr. In a moment
.sho has pounced upon the child and IB out
of reach before its cries can attract the
villagers. Arriving safely ut her don under
the rocks , she drags the llttlo ono among
the cubs.
You may , perhaps , bo surprised that a
wolf should flnd It such an easy matter to
got Into a house without oe'ng noticed , but
It irrust bo remembered that In India coun
try houses are not locked or otherwise se
cured , In fact , the pcoror people's housjs
In the country very often have no iloor at
nil , nnd as the natives sleep on the ground
on a mat or rug. It Is not so very dlfilcult
for a wild animal , cspsclally for the wolf ,
who Is very cunning , to steal elently ! In
and quickly carry off a victim.
When the she-wolf arrives at her den
the fate of the poor baby Is very coon de
cided. II the culia nro hungry , and If they
are old enough to cat flush fed , they di
vide the stranger among thempolveg , with
possibly a portion for the mother. Tlila
Is , no doubt , what occurs In moot cases.
Out If , as occasionally happen ? , the cub *
are not hungry , or not old enugh to want
anything but milk , the lnby : that baa been
so unexpectedly brought to them Is made
a playmate , and the entire family of chil
dren proceed to enjoy themselves In a very
gratifying manner. The human baby goon
become. " accustomed to the othcre , being
cuddled In Iliero by the soft , fluffy reeling
ot the baby \tA\o9 , and by tholr agreeable
pranka.
The mother , for her part , Is not long ( n
regarding the newcomer ao toe of her o\vn
proper offspring. There is a peculiar scent
about wolves , Just as tboro Is about foxov
and most other animals. The baby , lying
among tlio cubs , soin acqulroa thin osent ,
and from that moment tlio olio-wolf thinks
It ono of her own nnd f ceils It , and bring *
It up nnd protcctu It accordingly ,
It lu interesting to follow tlio career of
tlio baby wolf a ho dovolopi Into manhood.
At first lie has a flno time , living awild
life , net bothered by studies or clotlics ,
which Is the kind of llfo all properly con-
otlttited children love to Hvr > . Hut an ho
grows up ho becomes lean and luvage , anJ
coverfd with hair , \\alldns en Ills knceu
nnd elbows. It Is undoubtedly the oc-
caulonal appcaranco of tuch creatures nn
