IntcnHcIy cold weather , which created
frrsh fears for the winter plant , Hlsirted
wheat strong : . May opened vifj a higher
in T3xnfi < 3Vic , touched "flHc , then proceeded
to modify the bullishness with which It
began. Apart from the weather considera
tions , the early noivs was by no menus
striking und even In that respect Die
Price Current made somewhat light of the
supposed damage , remarking Hint late
Fawn whont was doubtless more or le.tj
damaged , but otherwise the outlook was
promising.
* Northxv 'st rn receipts were compara

down to 72T4c. At that point , however , the
market begun to show considerable
strength us the west nnd southwest con
tinued to Bend reports of serious damage
to HIP winter plant. To ndd emphaBls to
this news. St. LoulH sent hcnvy buying

bringing : TJ' o sellers.
Under free delivery nnd free offerings
by several prominent houses , which met a
Blow demand , corn developed a lower ten
dency. Country offerings continued light ,
although receipts nt 498 cars were In ex
cess of the estimates. Mny opened % Jyc ?
higher at 37'i , firmed up to 3Tfg37'lc , weld
off to 3SMfff30c , and closed at 36 Sf36c

A good export demand for meats and
higher prices at the yards started provi
sion * strong. The market subsequently
cased off , however , on selling of pork
and ribs by packers. May pork opened 2&c
higher at $10.20fil0.22W and declined to
$10.074 * , the closing price. The range In lard

NKW YORK , Kcb. 9.-Stock prlcss ad
vanced except for periods of temporary
hesitation pre-tty generally until the Inst
quarter of an hour , when professional pres
sure left ninny shares only Hllghtly above
yesterday. Commission houses were said
lo have orders to buy liberally It the market
at the opening was weak ,
As It was , many customers were disposed
to re-purchase stock recently fold. Chicago
. houses wire credited with being sellers ,
while purchases and sales for foreign c-
count were about even. Large operators
were said to have purchasing orders In their
fl.cclaltlcs and traders bought for n turn ,
there was some evening up of accounts
| , both i ways , in anticipation of the holidays
nn Saturday nnd Monday. The advance
brought prices up n point In many Instances ,
which was exceeded In somu cases. There
was a recession In prices , which was dis
sipated by a renewed advance led by the
coalers and Burlington , the former being
affected by the cold weather , which It wns
assumed would cause dealers to rplenish
stock , thus Insuring Increased tralllc , The
strength of the Flower group was a pro
nounced feature. Thsro was n conspicuous
advance In the standard stocks , Including
Pennsylvania , the Vandcrbllts , th Gran
gers , Southwestern shares. Lnke Erlo &
Western , Twin City , Rapid Transit and the
Industrial I specialties generally , except to
bacco 1 , which wo * weak on the prospect of
Increased competition. Chicago , Indianap
olis c and Louisville preferred nnd General
Electric 1 were strong on dividend statements
for l the day , which were Issn than In many
weeks. The closing wns heavy.
Transactions In bonds were on a relatively
larger scale thnn stocks , footing up $ G,253-
000. The great bulk of thn dealing. * wcro
eoncontratJd ' In the speculative Issues , with
Kansas & Texas seconds nnd Texas &
Pacific 1 seconds rising sharply , The innrKct
generally displayed n strong tone , purchases
for I out-of-town Interests being very exten
sive. United States 4s. registered , declined
> In the bid price.
The Commercial Arvorllser's London
financial cablegram says : The niarltJts here
were more active and better In lone today ,
yesterday's bears hastening to close. The

UEVY AUSTUO-IItWOAIUAlVS' CLAIM.
Sin.it : Department's DcclHlon Anciit
IlarlL-toii StrlUiTM.
WASHINGTON , Feb. 9. The State de
partment , after mature consideration , lias de
clined to recognize the claim ot the Austro-
Ilungarlan government for Indemnity on ac
count of the Hungarian strikers killed by
Sheriff Martin's posse at Hazelton , I'a , , on
September 10 , 1897.
The claim has been pending for many
months upon the basis of a report flled wltb
the Stnto department by Robert D. Coxe ,
the representative of the Austro-Hungarlan
government. The department action Is
based upon a special opinion prepared by
Solicitor W , L. Penflcld , covering the entire
field ot national responsibility in cases
of mob violence or rioting , which probably
will form the basis of future resolutions In
that lino.
In his opinion Solicitor Penfleld concludes
with the following statement :
The responsibility of governments toward
foreigners Is not more extensive ) than that
tit itho foreign sovereign toward his own sub
jects. The rights of hoBpltnlly do not prevent -
vent the entire cxcrciso of the rjght which
belongs to sovereignty to employ the legal
means to provldo for the preservation of the
state , nor are foreigners entitled -to a priv
ileged position , nw are .they exempt from
the consequence of criminal conduct ,
threatened or committed ; nor nro they to
bo indemnified for damagea resulting from
such conduct nnd from tlio imperious ne
cessity of watching over 'the ' pafoty of the
public weal ,
This government cannot tolerate a etalo
cf anarchy , cither threatened ° f Inaugurated ,
In .communities comnowd cither of Us own
citizens or of aliens who may engage In In
dustrial or other pursuits within Its ter
ritory. If they obey the precepts of the
la\v It will protect Ihem ; It they defy < lie
law nnd the constituted authorities , then ,
In common with nil others who partlclparo
with them in such acts of lawlessness nnd
violence , they must bo downed to accept the
consequence * of the conflict which they | r-
vlto. * The strikers were disturbers of the
public peace and violators of the law. They
were rapidly drifting Into a slateof petty
war. H wns the duty of the sheriff to tnko
measures to prevent as well as .to . repress
civil tumul'la ' and disorders. On previous oc.
caeions ho had commanded 'them ' 'to disperse
nn.l they obeyed , They were perfectly
famlMnr with his ofilclnl position and the
nature of the authority ho exercised , It
they had obeyed his lawful command no
blood would liavo been shed and In their
lawless and aggressive conduct , challenging
the embodied force of the state , they placed
Oicm&clres beyond the protecting pale ot
the law. To reward Ihe wounded living and
the heirs of thoFC plain under such circum
stances would bo offering a premium to law
lessness nnd inviting renewed outbreaks and
riots. This government Is , therefore , unable
to admit the justice of > the claim.

CATTLE AH will Iw no ted from the table
of receipts at the head q .the column the
supply of cattle wan very light today , and
H might be added that of the cattle here
nine cars weru consigned direct to packers ,
nnd In addition there were eleven cars of
stockers and feeders direct to a speculator ,
so that there was really very little of any
thing on sale.
Something- like fifteen or sixteen cars of
cornfed steers Included all the offerings of
fat cattle In. the yards. Local packers were
In need of cattle and in addition advices
from other points were favorable , so that
the market become active and steady to u
little stronger. The market on fat cattle
Is now HXSjlSc higher than the low time
the first of the week , about one-half of the
break of last Aveek having been made up.
Today some good , well finished cattle
brought J3.40 , showing that desirable kinds
will sell , and nt good prices.
Desirable fat cows and heifers were
fairly active at strong prices , and the offer
ings for the most part changed hands early.
It Is safe to say that the market on the
best kinds of she stuff Is now back just
about where It was the best time the early
part of last week. Canner and common
cow stuff were rather weak and slow this
morning , and buyers did not appear very
anxious for that kind.
There is not very much to be added to
what was stild yesterday and the day be
fore as to the condition of the stacker and
feeder market. As will be readily under
stood by all who are familiar with the
trade , the extremely cold weather has hod
the natural result of keeping country buy
ers at home. Supplies in hands of specu
lators have moved slowly , and incense , < -
< iucnce they have not taken hold very
freely. The market has , therefore , de-
dined for the want of buying support.
Today a few feeders changed hands , but the i
general complaint among holders was that |
it was hard work even to get any one out
to look at their cattle. It Is needless to
say under such circumstances that the mar
ket was very dull nnd weak on stock cattle
and unsatisfactory all around. Representa
