CHICAGO , Fob. 8. Wheat today closed a
about a ' ,4c decline , after having sold ncnrlj
1 cent above Saturday's close. Tlio flgurci
on the world's visible cut tuto | ! a figure Ir
the day's speculation. Corn ami oats were
indlcally wcnk , corn declining % c and oati
HC. Provisions were flrm , but show trlfllw
changes.
The news that traders In wheat had tc
mart their operations on was not very en-
counting for 11 bull market. Liverpool wai
only V4d higher tit the opuniuu thun It closce
ut Saturday , which was disappointing , In
asmuch as It wns n , very Inadequate re-
pponsc to Saturday1 * ! I'Ao ' advance here
UeorliOlim'H vepprt on the world's clear-
nnces of wticat nud flour for last weeX
which came In before the opening , gave the
figures at 6,500,000 bu , , and tlio heavy In
crease thus shown , together with Minneap
olis and Dulttth receipts , were not encour
aging by nny means , the total for the twc
places being Sll curs against 421 last week.
Those were thu olrctimstitncos under which
May wheat , .which . closed nt 77c'on Satur-
ilny , opened today , with sellers ut from , GHc
down to 70'4c. Hut the market became
strong immediately after the opening. Ihc
curly Ilgurcs on the worm's visible supply
indicated u very largo decrease , so large ,
In fact , that It. made Knot-Is scramble tc
cover their lines. Holders of wheat 'were
not disposed to let go , the consequence bo-
Inz that the prlco of Mtir pot up to < iT4c
before any material reaction occurred ,
Meantime the Atlantic port clearances _ werc
renoi'ttd at 4K.OOO bu. A decline to iO C
Wile occurred , when an Increase In tlic
Eiigllslt visible was announced , but tins
was nulckly succeeded by the ndvnneo tc
77c , the high point of toe day. which oc
curred on the postlllK of the world's visible
Ilgurrs. showing a total decrease1 of l0o,0pc ;
bu. Then thu decline contmcnetd s.o.vly
nt ftrst , but gaining rnomentum 113 the-ses
sion drew to a close. It was due mostly tc
realizing , though this was accelerate' ! in
Uiu world's shipments" " , which last weeN
were l.noO.OOO bu. larger than the week be
fore. New York reported that forelgnen
had turned free sellers Were. May tlnally
got down to 7GV4c. and closed at from iGH
Porn maintained Its price until the clos
ing drop In-wheat , but during the progress
ot the latter It cmnlntud wheat's weakness
nnd closed nt a decline for the day of 3&C
per bu. In Mny. Itucelvlng houses cwero ac
tive Hellers. The visible supply Increased
1,294,000 bu. May opened u shade lower al
24'4c. sold nt from 2-Ui to 24c , declined tc
23 % < 321c , where It closed.
Oats was * aulet during the first part of the
session , but with n tendency toward Ilrm-
ness. Later , however , the market turned
very weak , partially through sympathy
with \vht-at and partly through liberal sell
ing by the professional shorts. A heavy
business was done at thu decline. Maj
opened a shade lower at from 17c to 174c
and declined to 17 c , establishing n low
point for the crop. 'May closed ut 17'ic.
Provisions were well sustained nmld the
bearish feeling In grain , a llrm hog market
with comparatively Ilirlit receipts giving

NKW YORK , Feb. . The overwhelming pro
portion of the tranractlong on the Stock en
chnngts today were In the Industrial Mocks , will
Sugar far In the lead In point of activity , Mnn ;
fnctors combined to decline this group. Th' '
tltuntlon In the Industrials continued much th' '
same as for eomc time past , nil being deprestei
by the proceedings In the city of the leglnlnllvi
committee , which Is now Investigating the Suga ;
company with a further InvefcllRallon of olhei
companies tlll In prospect. Sugar , a belni
Immediately the KUbject of Investigation , nr.i
ns being open to other unfavorable condition *
was In the van of the downward movement
which began with the opening , nnd after i
period of apathy , continued In B manner resent
bllng partial demoralization. Tilt-re were evl
denctw of quite a heavy liquidation In this utocV
and In the course of the decline extension stoi
order * were apparently encountered , which no
cclcrated the full In price * . The whole markei
became n victim of this movement , the li.dus
trials In marked degree , nnd the general Us
fractionally. There wa * a notable lack of sup
port for the yielding market , and the decline wni
practically unopposed. The decline In the prlci
of Sugar In this movement wa * 2K per cent ,
leather preferred yielded Hi per cent ; Tobaccc
1 % percent ; Chicago Gag , 1 per cent ; American
SplrltH preferred , I'.f , per cent , and Illinois Steel
1 per cent. In the railway list Rock Island fell

was also caused on the market by nn unfoundeC
rumor that Admiral Dunce' * squadron of United
Stales war ships had been ordered to Havniin
to enforce the release of American prisoner !
there , There wns also some dcprestlon reflected
from Ixmdon and Europe over the unsteadines !
felt there on account of the political situation ,
the cznr'tt 111 health nnd the friction betweer
the Urltlsli nnd French governments over Egypt ,
Hut the decisive Inilucnce In the market wat
undoubtedly the Lexow trust Investigation com
mittee , nnd the day's proceedings before It ,
Tills was shown by the rally which occurred lii
the open market upon the announcement thai
this commlllce haa adjourned over until Satur
day. Sughr , on IliM ar.nounccmcnt , regnlneil
all but "i of the day's lots , carrying with U Ihc
other Industrials. Tobacco , however , benefited
only by U per cent , thus scoring a net loss ol
14 per cent on account of the belief that It I ;
the next company to be taken up by the Investi
gating cominlttco. The preponderance of Sugai
dealings In Ihc market U shown by the fact tliul
nearly half the total number of shares dealt Ir
for the day were of that company. The mnrkel
wns almost wholly a professional one , and tin
rally utter the decline was much accentuated by
the covering- short Interests. The dealings
In other shares were without special nlgnlllcanec
or Importance , the course of prices being almost
wholly In sympathy with the Industrials. The
Improvement shown In the statement ot the
cantbound tonnage failed to exert a sustaining
effect on railway shares , and Ihc general list
shows fractional net declines. London fold nl
the outset , but later turned buyer. The trading
wns somewhat unsettled nfter the rally , but
the closingwns firm. The Atchlson new com
mon stock was first dcnlt In today and old nt
The bond mnrltet wns less nctlve , but a fairly
good undertone prevailed near the close , when
some concessions occurred In the speculative Is
sues. The gilt-edged stocks continue con
spicuous In the dealings , with Erie llrst consols
rising 2U to 143 , nnd reacting to 142. The Bales
were J1,480W. Government bonds were dull , but
strong generally. Tha sales were J23.000.
The Evening Post's London financial cable
gram says : "There were heavy and depressed
markets today , owing to political complications.
They closed above the lowest. Nothing Is doing.
There was much bear selling- because easy money
remains a factor. Americans were weak , clos
ing nt the lowest. Japan bought 100,000 In
gold. The Paris nnd lierlln markets -were
weak. "

CATTLE Tlio week opened with n quite
liberal run of cattle , the , receipts being
larger than a wt kAgo "V co ° lleiu1' . , ,
Less than half of the cattle here consisted
of cornfcd- beeves , the most of them only
common to fair stuff. The market was slow
nnd a llttlu easier , the weakness being the
most marked on the common nnd medium
grades. Buyers did not appear very anx
ious for the cattle , nnd they did not want
them at nil unless they cuiliil set them
their way. The trade In consequence was
slow , and It wan late belore.a . clearance
was effected.
There were about ten loads ot cows and
heifers among the receipts , and the market
on that kind of cattle wns In very fair
condition. Values wvre Just about steady ,
and with the demand active the supply on
sale was soon exhausted.
Stackers and fcedersi were also In good
demand , nnd sold , fre.clyr at last weeks
closing prices. Yhrd "operators generally
are anticipating it go'od country demand
this week , and they Ntore all anxious to
pick up as many lots of desirable cattle as
possible. Representative sales :

SEARLES COMES TO TESTIFY
Sugar King Finally Decides to Appea
Before the Oommittco.
PRESENTS EXCUSES FOR HIS TARDINES
Hud I'rlvnlrItnnliieftN to Attcml <
When < 1ie Committee Siimnmiin
llcnrlii'il Him Mny He I'nn-
Inhcit ( or Contempt.
NEW YOIIK , Feb. 8. P. Scarles , secrctar
and treasurer of the American Sugar Hcfln
Ing company , was on hand today when tli
Joint legislative committee on trusts met I
this city. Mr. Searles left his homo I
Brooklyn for Canton , 0. , last Thursday even
Ing , after having been served with a subpocn
and the committee was disposed at Us sltttn
on Friday to tleclara him In contempt an
take steps for his punishment. Mr. Senrlo
was warmly greeted by the members of th
committee.
Mr. Shepard , attorney for the- sugar com
pany , arrived soon after and Immediate !
entered Into conversation with the pros
pectlvo witness. Before taking the stand Ml
Scarles , at Senator Lcxow's request , made i
statement that ho only received the subpocn
as ho was on his way to take a train am
that he felt It was his duty first to attem
to the business on hand at the time. Senate
Loxow reprovingly told Mr. Scarles that th
subpoena of the committee could not b
Ignored by the millionaire or by the pee
man.
"At the close of your testimony , Mr
Searles , " added Senator Loxow , "tho com
mlttco will pass upon the question of con
tempt. "
Mr. Scarles eald his occupation was the
sugar refining business and that of bank
president and president ol several local cor
poratlons , secretary and treasurer of the
American Sugar Ill-fining company.
Mr. Searles said he purchased and held al
the stock of the North Hlvor refinery. Tin
purchase was an Individual purchase , he
continued , and had no relation to the value
of the property of the Sugar Refining com
pany. The circumstances were somewlia
peculiar nnd he added the whole tranaactloi
waa ventilated In the court of appeals.
Mr. Searles gave the stereotyped reply : "I
cannot recall , " to a series of questions pro
pounded by Senator Lexow In regard to the
purchase of the North Hlver refinery , in
eluding the Inquiry If the price was no
about $325,000.
Asked ns to the present whereabouts o
the company's books , the witness said I
was hla opinion they were In the archives
of the subsidiary companies , over which he
had no control.
BOUND TO HAVE THE FACTS.
. "Now you might'as well tell us what was
paid In the North niver Sugar Refining
company case. We are going tohave It I :
It Is In this world.
"I have no figures at the present time b )
which I could give you the exact figures , '
said the witness , who recalled that the price
paid In for the stock for the North River
Sugar company was $700,000.
"Is It not true that you made $350,000
over night on the transaction ? "
"It Is not true. I did not make $350,000
over night on the transaction. "
"Do you iHsputc that ? "
"I do. "
"Did you not consider when you were tak
ing the $700,000 worth of certificates that
you were taking their equivalent In value ? "
"It would bo the value when they became
a part of the consolidated stocks. It was
my faith In their ultimate value that In
duced me to take them. "
The witness said that the North Klvcr
Sugar Refining company was anxious to get
cash Instead of certificates and In order to
accommodate the company'the witness took
Iho certificates off Jts hands. Mr.Searles
further said the transaction had the ac
quiescence of the directors and stockholders
of the Sugar trust ami admitted that Instead
of receiving $700,000 worth of stock certifi
cates from the North River Refining com
pany he only received $595,000.
At this stage Stephen Little , the expert
iccountant , announced himself , and on ex
plaining to Senator Lexow that ho In no-
wlso was concerned In the corporation under
investigation , was excused.
In reply to Senator Lexow Mr. Searles
denied that his purchase of the stock of the
Morth River company was to crush the com
pany as a competitor. In reply to another
question witness said he could not say defi
nitely whether or not the actual values on
all the stocks taken Into the amalgamated
trust was less than $20,000,000 :
"Is It not a fact that the $50,000,000 of
stocks In the Sugar trust are only a third
of that figure In actual value ? "
ANOTHER LAPSE OK MEMORY.
"By actual value do you mean bricks and
mortar ? " Inquired Mr. Searles , who finally
stated that his nil ml was 'not ' clear on the
subject. Witness said that he had not "Known
: lie figures in Iho case and on being asked
jy Senator Lexow If they wore available Mr.
Searles said ho presumed they could bo sup
plied from the books of the company.
"How much did the four Brooklyn re
fineries that were shut up receive In certifi
cates ? "
"I do not remember the amount.1'
"Was , Mr. Havemeycr mistaken when he
said that the sugar trustees accepted the
figures and estimate.- the various officers
ind stockholders of the component com-
lanles without Investigation and Issued cer-
Ificates upon that basis ? ? '
"I think the Htatcmcnts of the reports
of tlie various companies were generally ac
cepted as a basis for estimating the value
of Iho property. "
He denied positively that Ms company
controlled the price of sugar and also alle
gations that It forced competitors to the
vail by reducing prices In certain localities.
Mr. Searles Raid the capital stock did not
represent Its Intrinsic value , and that the
> ubllc only suffered In case of over capltal-
zation.
"Tho companies first representing the
Sugar trust wore Havemeycr & Elder , with
a capitalization of $500,000 ; Dick & Meyers.
200,000 , and others entered on a basis of
100,000 , " said the witness.
"Then the valuation of the -property , "
said Chairman Lexow , "WES not correct an
represented In the certificates or clso the
capital stock was false ? "
The witness did not think fo.
"Do not you as a business man , think the
ssulng of capital stock at figures that do
lot represent real value , Is the principal vice
n corporations ? "
"I hardly think that , h the truth , for the
easoii that the corporation law Ix availed of
> y many partfes associated In business elm-
> ly * to provide for the distribution of In-
crests In the settling of business. "
THINKS ENCOURAGEMENT IS NEEDED.
In reply to another question witness said
10 was of opinion that the legislature
hould encourage the formation of corpora-
Ions In the state rather than drive theme
o other states ,
"Waa not the actual rash value of the
arlous companies that comprise the Am-
rlcan Sugar Reflnlim company , $12,000,000 ,
nd was there not $50,000,000 , In certificates
ssued ? "
"There was no cash appialsomont of the
companies. "
"Will you swear the actual cash value rep.
cscnted more than a total of ? I2,000,000 ? "
"I should , most assuredly. "
Ached by Chairman Loxow If ho made a
eport of the transactions of the trust at
ny llmo slnco IU organization , witness
aid that the laws of the elate of Now Jersey
Id not require any such transaction.
"What other company except the to-called
Jallfornla company Is In competition with
he Western Refining company ? "
"None that I know of. "
Witness said that out of a total of 2,000-
00 tons of sugar produced annually 4n the
United States the American Sugar Refining
ompany controls eighty per cent of thu
roduct annually , but denied that the com-
any controls the price , "When wo arc not
n the market our competitor ! are and they
uy and veil at their own fixed prices , " the
vltneis said ,
Senator Lexow read the witness' part of
he testimony given by him ( Soarlcs ) before
former committee In which the witness
xprepscd hla views In regard to the control
f the output of sugar In order to get rid of
rco competition prevailing between free
actorlca ,
"Io ) you agrco with Mr. Havemeycr , who
stated that the principal object In consoli
dating waa to stop competition ? "
"No , sir. "
Asked by the chairman If any refineries
had been built since the amalgamation In
IS91 witness answered In the Affirmative ,
saying two had gone up In this state Atone.
"How do you explain your testimony be
fore the senate committee ) "
"Oh , that must b read with the con
text. "
"We arc obliged to notify you formally to
produce nt the next meeting of this commit
tee the mlnuto book of the company and nny
other data In reference to the four Philadel
phia companies and other transactions In
the amalgamation , " said the chairman.
"Personally I have no objection , but I
cannot do so without the consent ot the
board ot directors , " the witness responded.
In reply to another question wltncsa said
ho disagreed with any statement Implylnir
that the American Sugar Refining company
controlled or fixed the prlco ot the product
In the United States.
"Is It not a fact that where you have
competitors you could lower the prlco In
this particular locality and force them to
the wall ? "
CONTROLS HIS OWN OUTPUT.
"No sir , It U not. Wo. only control the
price of our qwn sugar. The polfcy of the
American Sugar Refining company Is to pro
duce the largest quantity possible and al
ways In advance ot the demand , that the
consumer may obtain the product at a fair
standard prlco. "
In reply to another question the wltncsa
nald that slcco thu consolidation the wages
of the employes of the company In this state
were Increased 10 per cent.
"What was the capital stock of the Have-
meyer Refining company at the time ot th < ?
consolidation ? "
" $1.000,000. "
"What was the amount of certificates you
received by the pool ? "
"I cannot tell you now. "
"You have the figures ? "
"Oh. yes. "
"You reduced nineteen active companies
to eight , did you not ? "
"No , It wns from fifteen to eight. "
"You have a factory that could furnish the
cnttro demand of the United States ? "
"Wo could do It very easily. "
"At the time ot reorganization of the trust
the wltncta testified that there wore a few
hundred stockholders , How many arc there
now ? "
"Well , there were 9,000 dividend checks
sent out on January 12. "
Witness said ho was not positive as to
whether or not the majority of the board of
directors held the largest number of shares
In the company.
"Havo you not been a self-appointing body
since the organization ? "
"No sir , the directors arc elected by the
stockholders. "
"Have the stockholders asked for a yearly
statement ? "
"No sir , they are perfectly satisfied to
leave the matter In the bands of the di
rectors , who are always elected unani
mously. "
"I suppose they are well pleased with tlio
profits 7" '
"I suppose so , " replied Mr. Searles.
AFTER THE TOBACCO COMPANY.
This ended the examination of Mr. Scarlcs ,
who promised to furnish the books ot the
company when the committee reconvenes on
Saturday next.
Before the members ot the Joint commlt-
leo separated Chairman Lexow cald that If
they could so arrange their affairs ho would
llko to have them sit all next week , when
an Investigation of the American Tobacco
company would bo commenced. The sub-
loena scrvars have had spmo trouble In
cachtng'thc officials of the tobacco company ,
'or the reason that most of them are out of
the city and they report that only one on one
nfllctal , George A. Rentz , the treasurer , has
been served. This has given rise to various ,
umors to the effect that the members were
Tightened Into avoiding the committee by/ ,
caving the city and that the company had
moved Its hooks to New Jer&cy. Chairman ;
' .exow , when asked If he had heard o
here rumors , said that he had assumed th
the books were still within the Jurisdiction
it the committee. The company has an offlco
n New Jerspy , ns well as .In Now York ,
lames B. Duke , president of th'o' company ,
vas reported as at his homo In SorrJervllle ,
V. J. . yesterday. William II. Bullcr Is In
Europe ,
Beyond the proposed Invcstlgatlpn of the
obacco company next week the chairman
lecllned to state what the future program
if the committee would be.
