( Special ) Henry Clews , bead of the banking houEC of Henry Clews & Co. writes : The business of the Stock exchange for the list week has exceeded every thing In the history of that Institution , Monday's 1 hales boat nil previous records ; 1,721,000 i'mrcH were reported as having been dealt In i and It Is fair to assume that 0,000 or moro I fcharcs beyond that went by default during , the excitement prevailing The previous largest number of transactions wag I'ebru- ury 20. 1S9J. when 1.474,000 shares were ilcalt In , That was the memorable Phlla- dclphh & Heading day when McLeoil got control of Uin anthracite coal out put. For the first four days of thin week tm ! transactions aggregated 5,775.000 shares : ! for the saino four days of last January the , sales wern 1,467,101) shares. These totali may , In Homo degree , repre sent the large increase In late years of the amount of securities dealt In on the ex change , but they still more express the t jiltch of enthusiasm to which the current ' rxpectatlons of national development ha\e raised the public mind. Wall street has never before witnessed guch a Hood of buyIng - Ing orders as has been represented In three ( operations. The extraordinary volume Is ' not due eo much to manipulative' maneuvers of professional ocorators as to a continuous , fUrt'.un of oidprs coming from all parts of I the country. The main cause of the acv - v llvlty lies In the mall orders from the con- ' fllderablo class In the Interior cities and t towns who have been making money for the [ last two years of abundant crops , while i New York has been grumbling about un- i satisfactory business. Those profits have > gene Into savings as much as Into increases - . creases of ordinary expenditures and the i current excitement la bringing out the i hoards partly for permanent Investments , } lint perhaps moro for speculative ventures. f AVe have therefore an "outsiders" market ' In a sense and to an extent never before witnessed and It is the largeness of tills ' sanguine clement , much more than any purely local speculation , that accounts for this extraordinary buying virtually Irre- epectlvo of prices. For many months past the prosperity of the west and southwest ' has shown Itself not only In Increased earnings - ! ings of the railroads , but also In the iin- ( precedented amount of funds In the Interior t banks and In rates of Interest almost as low as those current at New York. This has led j to a steady stream of Investment orders I from those sections and now these accurau- Jatlons are being drawn Into the speculative , movement of Wall street with a rush that ) cieaten wonder as to where all the money Is coming from. / London Ilunlncfi * . ( London , for some time past has been { Belling to an almost unlimited extent calls | r on American securities and the rapid rise In the Vanderhllts has completely upset their equilibrium. Immense orders from that quarter came In conflict with the ac cumulation of orders over Sunday from all parts of this country which made the com petition on the buying sldo last Monday . morning greater , probably , than was ever experienced on the floor of the exchange. IL The natural conditions prevailing nt th * present time In this country are of course lt In favor of the hull sldo of the market to I : i extent greater than at any previous , period. When William II. V.inderbllt sold to a. syndicate 300,000 shares of his New York Central stock at an average price of 130 the company was pajlng 8 per cent divi dends andMr. . Vanderbllt guaranteed a continuation of 8 per cent for three years. 'i ' At that time It required a stock to pay 8 per cent dividends to justify Its market * price to ho 130. Now thin same company only pays 1 per cent dividends and the * mock sells at 140. The money and busl- | ness conditions of this country have un- dcrgono a ihango In the same proportion smco that time. It Is due to this change that a 1 per cent stock now sells as high as an S per cent stock formerly did. The Investment Interest rate has gene down to Hay In this country , to bo In keeping with the rale prevailing In the European money centers. The reason for this Is the gen eral confidence , both at homo and abroad , In our maintenance of the gold standard , ] together with the recognition of the vast resources of the country. When William Jennings lliyan was nominated for the pres- elency the depression prevailing was HO i neat ( as was the despair caused by It ) ' thitt II madi' most people desperate. It was no wonder , therefore , that so many voters wanted the country deluged with 10 to 1 silver money. They were really like a drowning man snatching out for a straw I to nve themselves , but with the marvel ous change In the money situation that I now piesents Itself the country has gone ' to Iho other extreme by being overburdened , with gold money. The United States treas- ' nry , nsi well as the banking Institutions of ] the country , urn perplexed to know how "s to laKe care of their huge loads. It Is the leturn of lotilldenro that now makes a 1 / per cent property In this country sought ' * for by everybody who hah money to Invest i , both nt homo and abroad and this ihango l | nas come to utay. Under such conditions , | l therefore anbody who now advocates Iti to 1 silver miihl bo non coinpra mentis. UlTppt of ln > liiir Order * .

The Tinancler Estimates as to the amount nf cant , gained by the New York clearing house Kinks for the week ending January 7 wcro very much at variance with the actual re- milts disclosed by Saturday's statements. Cables prove that operations for the last fe\v clays were against the bnnks by nearly or quite $ COO.OOO. The Interior movement had been counted uopn to swell cash totals about $3,000,000. Instead of that , however , the reported gain was no less than $7,070,200 , of which $4,011- 800 wns In the form of specie , Obviously this expansion clew not represent ex clusively Interior receipts This conclusion Is borne out by the fact that one large 1 bank alone reports an Increase of nearly $ 'i,000,000 In gold , or almost 60 per cent of the total cash gains for the week. I In othe r words , the Increase of $800,020 In loana of banks brought down the Hservo In i Individual InHtltiitlons even In the face of the heavy gains In the average surplus hold- j Ings. The deposits , owing to the loan und I cash expansion , show an IncreaHp of $12- C.63,400 . , bringing the total to $8Gl,037.r > 00 a I figure altogether unprecedc-nted Despite the Increase reserve requirements the surplus , Is $4r,00,000 higher then a week ago and is .now . $39,232,023. Such n statement forecaMn but one con- i dltlon a continued easy money market , ncI - I companlcd , probably , by further manifesta tions of the expansion which has been a prominent fartor for some weeks past. Still , the policy of the banks Is one of consorvn tlsm and they are not making extraordinary efforts to employ their surplus In nny but secure channels. The spirit of dtscrlmUm- I tlon , against over-Inflated collateral la bused on soundest Judgments and while the ln- ' tltutlons have not profited on the present ' uprise In values , they are In a position l where they can direct to a large extwit the ' course of future speculation In ' 'afer dlrec- | tlons.

LONDON , Jan. 29. The lost week has shown a satisfactory Increase of business on the stock exchange , with an all around appreciation In prices , for which the accept able terms upon which money could be ob tained was doubtless the principal cause. The excitement In American rails has proved contagious and the rise in values there spread to bpocuatlv e stocks gener I ally. While the influences aflectlug the market remain favorable it Ib not likely that a break will occur. It Is reported that I Americans are buying here and racing for otocks , which 1 taken to indicate an intention - , tion to raise prices further , though these clobcd yesterday slightly lower.

The market laht week was more qulpt , ( but firm nnd not Idle , there being still a. fair business for India , China and Japan In hhlrtlngs and | Jacwi/nots. The miscellaneous markets have been placing small orders in the best burn ley laic TO at two pence per piece dearer < vn the week , the paucity being due to the rush In cotton , all of which is highly unpopular in Manchester and Liverpool. Engagements for yarns and cloths are heavy , but the fomrer are not now getting a margin equal to that of last month. South America Is buying fairly and the home trade Is batlsfactory. The spinners are mostly well provided with raw material , which Is likely to curtail expenses A largo number of mill balance sheets were published last week.

Corn dropped * i'u4c , but was still 1j'/6c : higher than a week ago. Oats d1- clliud 34c. Provisions looked stiong at one time , but closed without notable change. Wheat opfiuil without excitement ttifVic higher at < sij,7fcll&c. but after a little backing - ing ana filling ut starting Ilgurcs it begun to yield a Ilttlo to lulling by local specula tors. The latter were Induced to take the course they did owing to the absence of any heavy buying orders from outside and the Indifference that Liverpool traders appeared to have for the strength prevailing on this side- , quotations from there showing a de- oiine of iQUd. About this tlmo corn bsgan to show .such decided strength that the buyIng - Ing spirit of wh ut traders was revived and the May option , which had sagged to 7790 , rfcoveiert to 78'Sc. Tne world's Mnlpments for the week were estimated at 6.200 000 bushels , of which 4.99S- 000 bushels canle from United Stntes poru. The bulls derived some comfort for a time fiom a London cablegram which told of severe frost prevailing throughout southern Russia without any snow to protect thi"fall wheat.

During the latter pa it of the session longs liquidated fieoly and as the demand dropped oft tne selling increased In volume , becoming very large near the close. May had gradually de clined , but when It got down to 77V c a lot of stop-loss orders wcro encountered , which caused a good deal of enforced realizing , and for n few minutes It looked as If the bottom had dropped out of the market.

The market was good on all kinds and everj thing sold readll > at gcod , steady pi ices steers , butoher * ' stock and feeders. Thare was a bad storm and buyers wcro In a hurry to K < "t back under shelter and they did not hesitate nt all about buying. The good cattle brought 15.60 , showIng - Ing that really good cattle are u anted hue and that they will bring satisfactory prices. The cuttle market this iveek his been everything that sellers could desire. The demand lias been brisk for nil kinds and the market strong and active evsry day. The supply of cornfed cattle has been con siderably short of the requirements of pack ers and they ha\e buen forced to ship In u good many cattle from other selling points In order to fill their orders for product. This has Insured an active demand every day and packers have wanted the cattle badly enotish to bid up ery strong on them as compared \\lth other markets. On some kinds of cattle the market is probably n dime higher for the ncek , but on most kind * the whole situation could be summed up as a good , strong market. On some day * feed ers have been bidders on the warmed-up cattle and on such duys prices have looked high on them , but there Is always danger of a sudden slump on warmed-up stuff con sequent upon a temporary let-up In the demand. Cows und helfars wers In active demand all the week and the offerings on most days ha\e been tonslderably less than buyers could use. The result 1ms been that cow stuff , like the beef cattle , has sold nt strong prices nnd ut prices that were en tirely futlsfnotory to the owners. Bulls , stags , etc. , ha\o also been good sllcrs. Veal calves are not bringing quite as strong prices ns they were and nt the present time It takes a good veal to touch Jrt Stockers and feeders. , like nil other kinds of cattle , were In demand all the week nnd the market was nctlvo. nnd strong right along. Cattle of that description sold at hlnh as any time this season nnd still the demand appealed to b * quite good. In fact not enough cattle were received frnm day to day to suit the wnnts of buyers nnd everything that could be graded as good was snapped up In short order. 1 IOCS The muiket opened with r > lghty- nlne cars of hogs In sight , only one of which nas consigned direct to a packer from Knnwis City. The currly me siges credited Chicago with 16.000 head. Kansas City C.COO. St. Joseph 3,000 und St. Louis 3,00rt The market hero opened strong to So higher and was fairly nctho nt the ad vance. However , after the more uigent onlers had been tilled the market eased off rind closed weak , owing Inrgelv to the fact of Its being a Saturday. Light and light mixed hogs sold at KoOJiJfio laigeh , ns ugalnst $155fti.6.1V& yesteidny. Heavy mixed hogs went very largeU at Jse'Mf 3.70 nnd prime heavy at $1.70fi75 : ; , while the best hot's yesterday biought $1.70 The hog market has been In good shape all this wek , with n gradual upward tendency The week started out with u higher market and theie was n still further gain on Tuesday. On Thursday there was a slight backset , but the loss was more than recovered on Friday , while the ad vance on the last day of the week can led the market to a point that was just about lOc higher than the close of the previous week. The demand was good all the week und on most days the movement was nctlvo. The buyers have evidently wanted the hogs , and , while the receipts huvo b ° en up to the average for the month , they have not been large enough ririi the buyers , who have been shipping In a good many hogs from Sioux City nnd Kansas Cltv. The market Is now at the highest point touched since October 20 , when the hogs sold at the average price of $1.70. SH12I2P The market on sheep w.is not materially changed. There M'emcd to be a good demand for good mutton sheep nnd some heavy western wethers of pretty good quality bold ut HS3. which was fully ot'uilv. The market on lambs , ho\\e\ei , \\na slow and buyers did not appear to bo ati\loub for thorn. The market on desirable Muds of Mieep has been good all the week and values liu\e gradually llrmed up so that at the dnso of the week It Is safe to call the mnrkot all of 10fi2. > c hlghet The buyers have cUdently wanted supplies , and whlln the re ceipts ha\e been gradually glow Ing larger they have been none too large to meet re quirements of buyers. The lumb market , however , has not been of such a satisfactory character In fact , It has been unsatisfactory to the sellers ) . One day there would bo a pretty fair demand , then the nmiKet would oato off the n-\t day or be lower , and then It would go back again , and &o It has switched about nil thn week , and at the close Is not much changed from what It was lust week. To say that It has remained steady , however , in not saying much , ns It has not been much good nny tlmo for moro than a week back in the estimation of sellers. > Quotations arc : Good to choice fed western wethers , $3.80(4.00 { ; fair to good , $37017380 : choice native wethers , $390 ( 15 ; choice western yearlings , $1 lOftf 1.23 , fair to good western yeuilings , $ , ! .M > U 4.10 ; fed ewes , $1",0fi3 60 ; good to choice natUo lamb , $4.73il90 ; good western lumbs , tl ( ,01i I SO ; feeder sheep , $35fK < (375 ; feeder lambs. $ | 00'ii42 > tull sheep , } 2 00(9 ( 3.00 ; cull lambs. $300 | 3.50. nt.

Lnturnol llotr Section of n Ynclil Turned Into n 1'aliit Shop. On the shore of Northport bay on Long Island sound is a queer landmark which puzzles the yachtsmen greatly until they know what it Is. From a distance It looks like a largo Indian tepee. On a nearer view It Is seen to bo the bow of a finely modeled yacht , apparently sticking right up out of the earth. Approaching clocr the puzzled yachtsman discovers it Is really a house. This freak structure stands in Hawkins' shipyard , overlooking the bay. Its history Involves the story of a novel and Ingenious operation on the old steam yacht Caprice , by which It was transformed Into another boat and a building. The Caprice was sixty-six "feet long find was purchased In 1895 by Ben jamin M. Whltlook , who admired Its par- tycularly finVi lines. Ho decided to have boat , however , nnd wanted it to bo a Jirgcr in model of theCaprlco. . To In- fiiro this ho determined to have the Caprice extended fore und aft , keeping as much of the original midship section of the hull as possible. Ho accordingly engaged H. J. ( Helow , the designer of fast-going btcam yachts , to make the plans and the work was clone In Hawkins' yard at Port Jefferson. The Caprice , which had formerly been the Homy Douglas , built in 1S85 for Charles Schocn of Philadelphia , was carefully taken apart. When this was completed the old yacht stood In three , sections. From the mlJshlp section , only twelve feet long , a new yacht eighty-five feet over oil was built and named the Tekla. About this tlmo Hawkins discovered that he needed n new paint shop , so lie bought the complete bow- section and stood It on end In hta yard , with the sharp cutwater pointing to the sky. In the starboard side of the deck ho cut a door and the forward hutch served nicely as a window. HavvKlns then had a building twenty feet high that afforded him a alrge , commodious , well ventilated room with an absolutely water-tight roof. The short bowsprit he makes use of as a flagstaff and that Is what most pu/zlcs the voyaging yachtsman when from the distance he eaplea the clean , bright bow of a big boat sticking up from among the trees with the union jack flying from its stem. The Tckla proved to be a fine , fust craft and was sold by MrVhltlock to Commodore Mollenhauer , at piesent owner of the crack ( Iyer , Presto , designed by Mosher. Later It was disposed of to a St. Louis yachtsman , and all that now remains In the east of the old Caprice Is tlio forward section , which has caused so much comment among yachti- mcn. Mr. Whltlock Is at present the owner of the bark-rigged auxiliary Hildegarde , which was built us a fore-and-aft , schooner for his royal highness , the prince of Wales. As soon as Mr. Whltlock got possession of the Hildegarde ho began making a series of alterations In U quite as radical nml star tling ns his metamorphosis of tlio hull of the old Caprice. In this case , however , the alterations were made In the rig of the craft. From Its original fore-and-aft rig It was transformed to a topsail bchooaer by putting yards on the foremast. This rig satisfied Mr. Whltlock for one season , but early last spring the rejuvenated Hildegarde was placed In commission as a full-rigged bark , the nilzzenmast being made from the elghty- flve-foot boom of its fore-and-aft mainsail.
