CHICAGO , Tcb. S. Wheat , nflcr fluctuat
ing nil day ftt lc range , closed nt sub-
fllnnllally yesterday's flnnl figures. It sold
ixt ono time nt a ytc ndvnncc , but realizing
nenr the close carried prices down again.
Corn and oats were neglected , and closed
a shade lower , the weakness being more
marked In oats than In corn. Provisions
fwero weak nnd declined 2Hff * '
Wheat was subject at tlio opening to
much the name sort of Influences as It was
.Thursday morning , The Liverpool market
was rather disappointing , because the nd-
ivnnco was only U < 1 to begin with. Both
! Ncw York nnd Chicago houses doing an ex
port business reported that there had been
no foreign acceptances of wheat or corn
offers made to the United Kingdom and
continent yesterday. Northwestern re
ceipts wcro heavier , which was nn addi
tional disappointment to the bulls at the
etart , nnd still another disquieting circum
stance was the falling snow at the tlmo
of opening1. The opening price for May
. was from TSU TSUc , against ycsterday'o
closing prlco of 7ijic , with a sale or two
us low is 7Sic. It kept within the rongo
of " 5iiff75iic ! , for about an hour , and grad
ually Improved until It got to TG'tC. At the
latter point It made n. rapid spurt to Tfiftc.
' nnrt n sale or two nt 7G'/4c ' transpired during1
it ho confusion Incident to the quickness of
, "tho " rise. The strength was brought about
T > y the report of rains in the southwest ,
rwhlch wcro supposed to have carried oft
the snow protection and left the wheat
plant exposed to Injury from the cold wave ,
which Is said to bo approaching that ter
ritory. The later cables were also said to
bo better , and the clearances from the sea
board showed up generously , amounting to
480.000 bu. In wheat nnd flour. Coveilng In
this market of St. Louis shorts nnd the
strength of the St. Louis market were no
nmall factors In maintaining prices during
the morning' . Chicago received 17 carloads ,
ncnln.it 1.10 on the similar day of the pre
vious year. Minneapolis nnd Duliith re
ceipts wore 290 cars , compared with 191 last
week nnd ESI a year ago. After tha mar
ket had touched "fl'/fcc , a reaction to 7Cc took
i > lace. Thin .price was maintained for some
time , but during the closing hour the tame
closing cables , coupled with the realizing ,
which gradually assumed qultn generous
proportions , brought about a further reac ;
tlon to 75c. The closing price was
75-TiC.
A very small local business was done In
corn. The market was steady until the
close , when It yielded a trifle on account
of the'softness of wheat. Fluctuations for
the most part did not exceed l-10c , though
widening out late In the session. Atlantic
port exports amounted to 737.0CO bu. 'May '
opened a shndo lower nt 24H5T21V1C , sold
sparingly nt 24'/&c nnd 21c , closing at the
opening prices.
Oats was only active nt Intecyals , busi
ness for the most part being light nnd un
interesting. The market weakened slightly
with the other cereals. May opened a shada
lower nt 17'i17ic ' ? ' , sold to 17c , under
short covering , then weakened to
where It closed.
Provisions wcro heavy and prices again
lower. The chief feature was the extra
heaviness of lard , as compared with ribs ,
the former getting1 nt one period of the
session to lOc lower for Jlay than the same
delivery of ribs. Liquidation , esoeclal'.y by
outsiders , was' quite heavy during the
morning , but a little better feeling devel
oped near the close on covering by shorts.
At the close Slay pork was 1'Ac lower at
S7.&OfC7.53 ; Mny lard about 2Vsc lower at
? 3.77'A and Mny ribs r2'/c lower at S.1.S5.
Estimated receipts Saturday : Wheat , 23
cars ; corn , 702 cars ; oats , 300 cars ; hogs ,
18,000 head.

UUtlnct Incrcnao Noted In Orilcru for
Woolen Gooiln Iiidlcntlniiii of
Improvement In Iron nnd
i Steel Manufacture.
NEW TOIIK , Feb. 5.-R. Q. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Itovlew of Trade tomorrow will say :
No Important change In business appears , but
the number of manufacturing establishments
starting much exceeds the number of those stop
ping during the week , and to much that the
curtailment of working tlmo In many cotton
milk * does not lessen the aggregate productive
force or amount of wages paid. There Is a
distinct Increase In orders for woolen goods ,
some at some gain In the silk manufacture ,
n. waiting condition with one branch of boots and
shotu and Indications ot better things coming
In the Iron nnd steel manufacture. All symp
toms are favorable In the money market , Und a
large sale of securities In connection with the
Northern Pacific nnd Oregon Navigation Inter
ests to European purchasers will put off etlll
further the possibility of gold exports. It Is also
cheering evidence of confidence among Euro
pean Investors.
To many It Is the mo t perplexing feature of
current events that wheat does not rise much ,
though It has advanced 11 cents for the week.
Atlantic exports have been only 1,696,064 bu. ,
flour Included , against 1,903,456 bu , , for the same
week Inut year , while western receipts , have Iwen
only 1,488,170 bu. , against 2,600,407 bu. last year.
The condition of the market Is not explained
by any special confirmation , hut current prices
show that no great confidence Is felt lu the esti
mates of supplies available for the rest of the1
year.
Cotton fell to 7i. nfter the agreement to
close Fall Itlver and other print cloth works ,
but recovered the quotation or a week ago , 7.31 , .
without further news. Spinners takings have
been so small this year , those oC northern mills
nbout 400.000 less than In 1S94 , that the ad
mitted narrowness of demand tor goods has
at present considerable weight. Sales of wool
have been nmnllcr , than In other recent weeks
and yet arc far In excess ot the consumption of nil
mills for a week. It all were fully employed.
There has been only a slight stiffening In
prices , but more foreign wool will be taken ami
stored , It Is believed , If wcstein holders demand
higher prices. More Important than these In
dications Is n little better demand for heavy
weight goods , which ban led some of the binallrr
mills to buy wool more freely and thus enable
a number lo start operations.
Prices of HcEsnmer pig nnd grey forgo at
Plttsburg have slightly advanced with a much
more hopeful feeling , notwithstanding the com
parative narrowness of the demand for finished
products , nnd In plates and wire nnlto there
Is much more business with good prospects.
IllllctH are quoted nt $15,25 , with scarcely any
demand nt present , nnd rods at $21 , while No.
2 black sheets nre quoted at only 2 cents , He-
ports that 23,000 llu. of ftcel plato nnd sheet
bars have been exported to England nre only
Indications of the temporary excess of supply
over demand In this country , nnd arc not sup
posed to have realized any profits. Yet It
IH stated that prices or cast pipe ure from J2 to
$3 per ton lower nt New York than nt Scotch
works. Hnrs nre quoted at the lowcut price
ever known at Philadelphia , without much Im
provement In the demand , nml steel rails are
still Inactive nnd unchanged In price , the rail
roads waiting for a decline corresponding to the
fall In bllletis. Hut on the whole , the demand
for Iron nnd steel Is slowly gaining , nnd n
considerable proportion of the works Is fully
employed , though the gain Is not yet enough
for those who have taken large stocks of mate
rial or products on speculation.
Failures for the week have been 311 In the
United States , against 323 last year , nnd sixty-
three In Canada , againstsixtyseven last year.

morrow will Btiy ;
Trade , which was retarded by unfavorable
weather a week ago , has recovered somewhat
In the south. While the rold weather cut Into
the stocks of heavy goods. It delayed the sale of
shipping goods. Other relatively fuvorahlo trade
reports are from St. Paul. Chicago , Minneap
olis and St. Louis. At most renters jobbers
report business quiet or unchanged , with no
prospect of Improvement , The rcrtilctlon of
the production of cotton goads ban not strength
ened the market or advanced prices ahead. The
heavy Increase in gales of wnnl. fAOOO.COO pounds
at IlOilon flncc January , ntnlinl 24,000,000 pounds
lavt year. Is bared largely on the expectation of
a hlxh duty on wool ,
Ono of the most uniatlstitctory Industrial fea

clal Hevlew tomorrwjivlll say ;
In the main the cufjjrnl speculation In of a
purely professional kind and requires no descrip
tion or comment. ltl'lf ) > OSthe dullness and
the disposition It natfirflly creates on the part
of the regulars to net on the bear side there
wan evidence from tlme.4a time" that the under
lying tone of the markctls bullish ; that Blocks
nre In firm bands ryid llmt liquidation Is n
matter of the past. * Elfropc took little or no
part in the proceedlngscwxcept In the cape of
the Northern Pacific , which was the real feature
of the week. The circumstances connected
with the sales of a large block of Northern
Pacific fccurltles to a llcrlln Interest were
widely commented on.
It should , however , be holed that friends of
the property bought the stock In this market
with a confidence ba ed on knowledge f the
circumstances In question , ns well ns the
alliance of the situation of rates that has been
formed with the Orent Northern railroad. One
of the fruits ot this is Keen In the strpi which
It Is stated have been taken by the two com
panies , to obtain representation In the manage
ment of the Oregon Hallway nnd Navigation
company , with the object of preventing that
property from being used adversely to their In
terests In there factors. One of these factoiu ,
the ndvnnco In Northern Pacific preferred nnd
common , which began laat week , rontlnueil , nt-
tractlnff considerable outside buying , niul car
rying the quotations on InKt Monday up to
38 % for the preferred nnd 16 > for the common ,
T.ie announcement of thu deal Iwtwevn the reor
ganization syndicate nnd the Herman Interests
was , an usual , In uuch catex , the signal for real
izing sales nnd n recession , which depressed
the preferred to 37Vi and common to 14 % , In-
tlmldntlons were , however , forthcoming that
other plans of considerable magnitude are In
progress by the Northern Pacific management ,
and the stocks of the road recovered somewhat
and displayed a very firm appearance.
Union Pacific was for a time unfavorably
nffected by the deal concerning the Oregon Navi
gation company. The stock regained ground ,
however when It was made known that this
transaction was not Intended to be nny way ad
verse to Us Interests , nnd business was supple
mented by Intimation from Washington that' '
interference by congress with the carrying out
of the present reorganization plan m-cd not be
longer feared , and that no Increases In the
assctument on the stock wilt be made , The
movement on the Northern Pacific apparently
stimulated a little activity In another reorgan
ized property , the St. Louis and San Francisco ,
reports being circulated that Us earnings were
favorable. Atchlson wn EomcHhut heavy , par
ticularly the preferred shares on the expected Increase -

NEW YOniC , Feb. E. The Lexow committee
of the New York legislature to Investigate trusts
was the shadow upon the matket In the dealings
today. The day's trading was for. the most
part In the Industrial stocks. Sugar occupying
the overwhelming1 proportion of attention. "With
the market thus restricted , the effect on prices
was In sympathy with the cour&c of Sugar nud
the other Industrials , which was tmukedly down
ward , with a rally at the close , due to covering
by shorts. The day's proceedings In stocks gave
little evidence of much If any but professional
dealings , though the bond market showed evi
dences of a well maintained strength , nnd nn
Investment movement.i Sugar and the Indus-
trlala , while nffected In i common by the appre
hension of the trust Investigating committee
and other nntl-trust Influences , were each
nffected by eomo special causes , which Inlluerccd
the decline. In the case.of Sugar there Is H pros
pective coup In the coftec war , the continued
fear of coming tariff cimnseK , the adoption of
a now French bounty , .irtd the general dullness
In the trade. The Vxlreme decline under the
conditions wuB Vi pcojccnti ami the fraction was
eventually recoveredflflor the decline lu nugur
hud been effected. i.Atj ntlonvas turned to
Leather preferred , which' was driven down a point
on the anti-trust scale and liquidation of hold

In the Industrial stoeksiH/id / receded ? i per cent
for the common , nml.l Volnt for the preferied
stock , the decline bl'ltyr augmented by trade
conditions and the pVodperts of i educed prices.
This wholesale onrluugbt on the Industrials

ness after the first hour of trading : , possibly devoted -

Invfutlgatlbilf during"fvhfth 'tlie"ctianges 'were
very narrow. TheBdMllnss the low-priced
scares assmncil a bqrnewhnt unwonted Im
portance , but the fluctuations were small. In
the * Una ! hour , however , there was n revival
In the market nnd prices advanced Rcncnilly
under a , covering movement by the shorts. The
anthracite coal groups showed nn 'Improvement
under this movement of Hi per cent. Leather
preferred and Northern , PnclIIo , prefeired ad
vanced 1 per cent. In this rally at the ckue
prices generally were curried to about the
best point of the day.
The bond market maintained decided strength ,
and although the movement wim Irregulnr at
Intervals , the main tendency was toward a
higher babls , with large blocks bflug taken for
European account. The excellent progress
noted In the habllltntlon of various properties
ban Instituted a ke'en demand for tiome of the
low-grade Issues , which attained the highest
.prices current for 'a long time. The sales
were $2,724,000. The comparative prices 10-
cordcd notable gains In n number of the hlsh-
prlced Issues. The speculative mortpiKCS show
changes of a slight fraction either way. Gov
ernment bonds were made under the pressure
ami yielded fractionally on sales of 19.000.

CATTLE I.fi.ss than half as many cuttle
were hero today nn yesterday , the rccclptn
dropping oft us the week draws to a closo.
The condition of the market was not much
changed as compared with yesterday nnd
the Irado us a wlinlu was devoid of tiny i
new feature of material Importuned.
There were quite ti tew loads of beef101
ulcers among the offerings , a Kood many of
them commons Bluff . . . , but , . _ _ thfr.i . , , , were n .
.1 llr c llli i
few decent cattle which brought $1.03 , ? , ,
$1 20 and $4.43. Ttie mantel was fairly
active and the buyers soon cleared the
yards , the prlcta paid being strong an com
pared with yesterday.
Utitchcrs' stock was In very limited sup
ply , there being only about live or six loads
of t'ows and heifers In the yards. Every
thing sold early and at strong prices. Ono
little bunch oC helferu sold up to $3.03.
The market on atockera and feeders was
Blow and a little easier , but still everything
In first hands sold before the close. The
cause of the WL-aknesn was apparently due
to the fact of Its being near the clobe of the
week nnd also to the soft weather , which
keeps the pens in brtd condition and makes
the cattle look ut their worst. Representa

derer Frank Uutlcr , alias Richard Ashe , has
no claim to the title of Leo Wollcr was
shown today when Kdwln Klllott , an hitl-
niato friend ot Weller , visited the city
prison and said that Uullor bore not the

noon , IdentlfyliiK Hutler us Ulchard Asho ,
who had shipped with him as an able sea
man In 1S03. The Australian detectives
now in the city to take Cutler bauh for trial
were Jubilant today over' an alleged confes
sion made by Duller to Detecllvo Conroy.
This , on Investigation , however , proved to
too nothing more than a suggestion ofa
possible future .confession. , Hutler Bald to
Conroy that at least two nien besides him
self had Intimate knowledge of Welter's
movements and mysterious death. He said
that although ho was really Innocent , thcso
two murderers had forced him to accept
part of the dead Wellcr'n belongings , after
ward found nmons Dutier's effects. Duller
told Conroy If the- police would aid him to
capture the two " alleged murderers of yv cl-
lor he ( Ilutlar ) would turn qurcn's evidence
against them when the case comes to 'trial.
The police are confident that Butler' will
make Important disclosures In a few days ,
believing that ho Is weakening under con
finement when confronted with the weight
ot evidence against him ,
