NEW YORK , Sept. 24. ( Special. ) Henry
Clews , head of the firm of Henry Clews &
Co.vrltea :
In my advices of last week I suggested
thai there wore factors 111 tha Wall street
situation not very usaurlng and which culled
lor caution and prudence In buying , i'ne
HUbteuutnt course of affairs has justllled
those forecasts. The fall In the surplus re-
BI rve of the banks to thu verge of the legal
limit and the more threatening position of
the Ang'o-Uoer ' question have affected ad
versely both the home and London markets.
With the result of heavy reallzlngs and tales
on .Monday aggregating upward of l.Ouy.OOO
phur > s , resulting In generally heavy declines
In prices. Uhe distrust was encouraged by
DxtenslVo mlilng and largo declines upon
certain speculative specialties which have
been a weak spot In the market and
tong encouraged timidity among conserva-
Ivo buyers.
.Monday's break was followed on Tuesday
by a Bcnso of relief. The drop In prices ,
added to thu continuous decline of last
Week , had made many Blocks appear fairly
cheap ; the pardon of Urcyfus was con-
Btrued as a hopeful relief from the dan-
pera of French politics ; the African ques
tion seemed at the moment somewhat less
Warlike ; London was therefore more hope
ful ; and the local money market showed
Bomo abatement of Its stringency. Under
these circumstances the Block market re
covered tone ; Monday's break was con-
btrued as a culmination of the adverse in-
Iltlences , and between largo purchases to
cover "shorts" and free buying by strong
operators on long account , the day s busi
ness summed up 750,000 shares , with ad
vances upon 110 listed stocks ranging from
1 to 3 iwints and averaging Z > A to 3 points ,
while the declines were entirely nominal.
"Wednesday's experience dealt roughly
with the hopes excited by Tuesday's re
covery. With no change In general condi
tions , It soon became apparent that the
buying of Tuesday was more for transient
lurns than from expectations of the upward
reaction proving permanent. The sanguine
buyers of a day previous became urgent
Hellers , and D20OuO shares changed hands at
prices llttlo better than those of Mon-
Oii Thursday there wa a renewal of buyIng -
Ing and a general , though moderate , re
covery In prices. This record of the weeK s
business shows a brisk and eager specu
lative spirit , a willingness to both buy
find sell around the reduced prices of last
Monday and Wednesday , but also u clear
appreciation of the Importance of the un
certainties that beset the market. It ap
pears to bo very generally understood that
it would be reckless to disregard possibili
ties In the money market and In foreign
politics which , for some weeks ahead , may
keep business In suspense.
"Wo are yet In the woods In respect to the
bank situation. Probably the outflow of
currency to the Interior has reached Its
climax ; but although It may be expected
to diminish from this tlmo forward , yet
the beginning of the rellex movement can
Jiardly bo expected before the middle or
< -nd of October ; and , with the bank reserves
Jn their present depleted condition , It Is not
easy to see how the still remaining de
mand for money from the country banks Is
to be mot without some exposure to spasms
nnd squeezes. Nor can wo expect to bo
delivered at an early day from the uncer
tainties that center around London. The
African affair has entered the tedious
jlmse of diplomacy with its dally changing
promises and disappointments , which are
nlwayw demoralizing to speculation . There
Is Uttlo 'probability of the final stage In the
quarrel being reached until England has a
sufficient military force In Africa to war
rant her declaring her ultimatum ; nor Is
Kruger likely to commit the folly of strik
ing until he must. The significance of nil
tills Is that there are still ( and may bo'for
the next few weeks ) uncertainties of suf
ficient magnitude to perpetuate the past
suspense and possibly to precipitate adverse
reactions. .
Something must depend on the course of
the foreign exchanges , but It Is dllllcult
to form a satisfactory estimate of the real
position of that factor. The course of our
foreign trade is still drifting toward a bal-
nnce that must rooner or later start a
flow of gold to this country. But London
watches the drift with much precaution ,
as well she may with a probable foreign
war hanging over her head. That center
may be expected to do all In Its power to
keep Its gold at home , pending these uncer
tainties , and will not hesitate to play off
against us the return of our securities as
occasion may suggest. This policy I * al
ready evident. London is Felling when
prices rise hero and buying little when
quotations * fall ; and Its realizations exceed
Its buying. Our August exports of mer
chandise show an excess over imports upon
n. scale which. If continued , must ultimately
put It In our power to draw gold from
Ktiropo ; but the present course of exchange ,
though plowly yielding in that direction ,
does not bring that movement within sight.
From such Indications as appear on the
surface. It seems qulto possible that the
trade balance may not bring us any ap
preciable amount of gold until the return
of currency from the Interior has restored
a normal ease in money at this center. In
that case , \vi- shall be In less urgent need
of the metal , and Its eourpe will be to
ward the point where there Is the great
est demand for It. Late experience has
Bhown that American balances may rest
In Kurope to the extent of $70,000,000 to $ SO-
000,000 when the money Is needed moro there
than at homo , and the comparative'rates
of Interest here and abroad will determine
whether wo shall have a repetition of that
condition during inu mxi imv niunuis. it
Is not unlikely that , after Importing a mod
erate amount of specie , we should be willing
to permit It to accumlate abroad ; nnd that
Is the moro probable In prospect of the cx-
itraordlnary travel from here next year to
the Paris exposition.
In view of all the foregoing circumstances
Jt seems that , for the present , the proper
attitude toward the market Is one of mod-
rnitlim both as to expectations nnd hold-
Wall street has had the equinoctial gale
which I foreshadowed was forthcoming and
which culminated in Wednesday's severe
break , produced by a combination of cir
cumstances t'ght money In this country ,
the Dreyfus matter In France anil the Afri
can war cloud In Jxindon affecting the
three creat money centers. The shock has *
corno and gone without any serious dls-
nclers occurring other tlmn severe liquida
tion. the worst of which may now bo re-
Kurued as over , A recovery In tone as
well as In prices In now the natural se
quence , I'rlcos , however , must not be ex
pected to advance to booming figures ; for ,
while the money innrkut is easier. It Is far
froni affording fiicllltles to provide for an
extended bull campaign. Until the Mow of
money If pronouncedly this way , therefore ,
the conditions only warrant a trading mar
ket and prices have now reached a fair
ibaBls to justify buying and selllny any of
the good , actlvp stocks for the wide and
frequent fluctuations that wo are likely to
3mve In the Immediate future.

Feature * of the TriulliiK nnd Clolnir
Prlcc-N on Saturday.
CHICAGO , Sept. 23. Wheat today was
ivcak from beginning to end of the short
session and closed at % o decline for De
cember and lUc for September. The sup
port the market rccelvJU on account of
he failure of a big bear firm Thursday had
ceased and an Inclination to realize de
veloped. corn closed Vic lower for Decem
ber. December oats lost He. September in
both markets was steadier. Provisions
closed 2HiflOc higher.
Wheat showed heaviness right at the
start. Yesterday's sharp advance hero was
"allowed by an advance of only HWUc at
Liverpool , while other foreign markets did
not snow any greater improvement. Uuy-
ng consequent on the failure of the most
.iromlnont bear house Thursday had ap
parently ceased and although the market
for a short lime exhibited some nervous
ness over the rumors of further failures
the reports Involved only small firms and
the market was soon left to the Inllucnoa
of normal conditions. A tendency to realize
on purchases made earlier In the week
gradually developed and though the pres
sure did not become heavy ui any tlmo It
was sulllclent to gradually force prices
downward. The price finally got well under
! > ut figures and buying against those privi
leges caused &c reaction. Before the close ,
iowevcr , the market had again dropped
back Into dullness and prices slowly de
clined to their former level. Almost noth
ing was done In September. There was no
demand for that option and a few selling
orders were sulllclent to cause n decline of
l4c. } Primary receipts were heavy und the
cash demand poor , which increased the
heaviness of the speculative market. Min
neapolis and Duluth receipts were 1,000 cars ,
against 1,007 last week and 1,001 a year
ago. Chicago receipts were 150 cars , 'i of
contract grade. Total primary receipts1
were 1,207XX ( ) bu. , compared with 1,344,000 bu.
a year ago. Atlantic port clearances of
wheat nnd flour amounted to UJ.OOO bu.
The seaboard reported 12 loads taken for
export. The world's shipments were ex
pected to exceed 7,000.000 , bu. December
opened % o lower at 72 { i"2&c. It declined
to 72o and closed at 72 iJf72l4c ( ,
Corn was firm for September , but weak
for deferred futures and dull for every
thing. There was scattered realizing all
day by recent buyers of December. A fair
demand for September from shorts kept
that option steady. Receipts were liberal ,
1,950 cars , and a largo Increase ( n the local
stocks was expected. A heavy shipping
business was reported , with 70 loads taken
for export nt the seaboard. December
ranged from 29-74Q29T4C to 30Hc and closed
Mo lower at 29c. Today' ? prices were con
siderably over weekly calls.
Oats was quiet ami rather easy , with re
ceiving houses moderate sellers all day.
Outside longs realized to some extent.
Sympathy with other grain markets was
apparent. Receipts were 329 cars. The cash
demand was rather light. December
ranged from 22c to 22Jic and closed He
lower at 22c.
Provisions were dull but steady , pork
leading. Early there was tendency toward
lower prices , but the sharp advance of
meats at Liverpool and some covering by
outside sellers checked the decline. At the
close January pork was 2H@Sc higher at
$9.72V4 < Jj9.75. October lard showed lOc ad
vance. January lard closed unchanged at
J5.52Vand January ribs 2V405o higher at
. . .

here , but none to make a market and there
was practically nothing doing In the yards.
It was a typical Saturday In the yards.
The cattle market this week was by no
means In bad shape considering the largo
run , and , ns a rule , sellers feel pretty well
satisfied with the way things have gone
Beef cattle sold a good deal lower at other
market points , but were well maintained at
this point owing to the fact that desirable
kinds were not very plentiful until toward
the latter part of the week , when even the
light receipts could no longer hold up
values. The week closed with cornfed cattle
10@15o lower on the good kinds and 15@20c
lower on the common to medium kinds.
Not enough grass beef cattle were received
the latter half of the week to make a test
of the market , but the feeling Is that with
a good , liberal run of that kind of cattle
the market would be almost certain to geoff
off 1620c. This expectation Is founded on
the fact that grass beef cattle are selling
higher here than In Chicago.
The cow market eased off toward the last
of the week and closed a little lower , so
that cows , in the opinion of some , are about
tflie cheapest cattle on the list. It takes
right good grass cows to bring $3.50 , though
Jt would bo possible to get heifers good
enough to bring around $4,00.
Stockers and feeders were way lower early
In the week , but under the Influence of the
large country demand the market gradually
recovered until nt the close of the week It
Is safe to say that good , heavy cattle.are
selling fully as high as any time this sea
son and that the common and medium kinds
nro no more than 10@15c lower than at the
best time.
HOGS Although there was a good liberal
run of hoga at the yards for a Saturday
packers were complaining that there were
not enough to 1111 their orders , and consequently
quently there was an active market and an
early clearance. . Itecelpts were made up
largely of medium weight hogs , with a fair
proportion of heavyweights and a sprink
ling of light hogs.
With the exception of the flrst few sales
the general market was about a nickel
higher than yesterday. Favorable reports
were received from other markets and as
packers all wanted hogs trading at the ad
vance was brisk. Prices ranged largely
from $1.37 4 to $4.50. while yesterday the
jange was from $4.30 to $4.47 . Heavyweights
sold mostly at $4.37H@4.40 , with the poorer
grades going at $4.35. Mixed hogs brought
from $4,40 to $4.45 and the choice light
weights from $4.45 to $4,50.
The hog matket at this point has been In
god condition all the week. Receipts have
been the heaviest since the week ending
July 23 , but In spite of that fact values are
considerably higher than at the close of last
week. The demand on the part of the pack
ers has been good , each day's receipts
being taken up at an early hour. On Mon
day prices fell off a couple of cents , but
Tuesday a cent 'was ' put on and Wednesday
and Thursday it fell a cent lower than Mon
day. The loss was entirely made up on
Friday , however , when the high point of
the month was reached , nnd today's ad
vance carries the market back to about
where it was the latter part of August.
SHEEP There were seven cars reported
In the yards today , but four of them were
consigned direct to n packer and were not
offered for sale , while the balance was sold
to arrive. For that reason there was prac
tically no sheep market and no-thing doing
at the fthecp barn.
During : the early part of the week values
advanced 15ff25c , but later on values fell off
again , BO that the week closed with values
back again Just about where they were a
week ago ,
There was an active demand all the week
for stock sheep and feeders at good steady
prices , The only trouble appears to be that
, there arft not enough coming td fill the re
quirements of buyers.

FAICIlt MAKES A HIT.
TtmMe with HlBTli IJnllH ProvoltcB a
"Weather Sensation.
" 'Farmer' Dunn , as the gang called1 him ,
who Is liable to become a millionaire on the
profits of a picture machine he has Invented ,
was unquestionably 'the most popular local
forecaster New "York ever had , " said a news
paper man who drifted to the Washington
Post palace ffom Elephantlaslavllle the
other day , "but'a > Chicago newspaper man
who struck tho' big town one summer day
three years ago and got a Job on th ? Cuolnal ,
afternoon edition , sifted some of the thick
ness out of Dunn's locks and caused him to
bo bleated at a heap over the telephone.
This Chicago newspaper man had some
strong Ideas on the subject of overwork ,
and when , on the flrst morning of his em
ployment on the afternoon edition of the
Cholnal , his city editor told him to 'go down
and get the 'weather ' story from Dunn , he
nscortalrted that Dunn's eyrie was fully
seven blocks away.
" 'I wonder If ho thinks I'm going to hit
the pike for all that distance ? ' mused the
Chicago newspaper man. 'Not on his na
tural. Nay. Nix. Similarly , no and nit. '
"So ho repaired across the way to Oscar
Llpton'a high-ball chemistry , hung the Only
William up for three of the same , retired
within the ehado of an alcove , produced a
bunch of copy paper , and Indited the day's
weather etory. It was a 'bird when he got
through iwlth It. As ho wrote the skies
wore of turquolso , the sun shone resplendently -
ently , nnd there wasn't "even a haze over
Jersey City way. It was a perfect summer's
day. But he wrote a forecast that predicted
the star headllnor of an electrical storm
of the eeason to happen early In the after
noon. Ho wont Into the prediction elabo
rately , and stated that New York scientists
Interested In the photographing of lightning
had their cameras all primed and cocked
for the celestial pyrotechnics that were goIng -
Ing to blaze out on Bihedule time along
towards 2 o'clock In the afternoon. Ho
eent the copy over to his paper toy a mes
senger boy , and then ho leaned back and
continued his absorption of the products of
the Only William's deltt fingers. About an
hour later ihe purchased 'the flrst editions
ot the other afternoon papers to see If his
weather story was anywhere near being In
line. It wasn't. The Dunn forecast as set
forth in all the rest of the papers , In
cluding the rival World , was that the
beauteous -weather was to continue In
definitely ,
" 'Which IB a tip for me to remain away
from the office ; unless I want to experience
the mortification of being dumped , ditched ,
fired nnd mangled at the extreme bottom of
the efevator shaft of the Cholnal , ' mused
the Chicago newspaper man. Then he
walked forth to reflect , in the open nlr ,
upon ways and means whereby ho could re-
euro employment on some Diner newspa
per that would permit him to take an oc
casional chance with a long shot. It vrns
then 1 o'clock , and big , black clouda were
rolling up over Brooklyn. At 1:50 : the open
ing gun of the electrical orglo was fired ,
ami for n solid hour It thundered and
flghtnlngod so hard over Manhattan Island
that It madepeople's / teeth ache. It was n
continuous performance of heavenly artil
lery for a straight sixty minutes , nnd the
blue , purple nnd green llgh'tnlng caused
superstitious folks to Imagine that ( ho
world had about arrived at Its finish , It
was jUBt about as hard nn electrical dis
turbance as New York had ever been
through , nnd the photographic sharps did
take views of the lightning ribbons ripping
the heavens from zenith to horizon. That
was a bad afternoon for 'Fanner * Dunn , The
city editors of nil the other afternoon pa
pers dived for their telephones as soon aa
they saw the Cholnars exclusive , weather
prediction was being verified , and they
completed the sizzling of the wires that the
Chicago man's electrical storm had begun ,
" 'I pass/ was nil Dunn could say. 'Not
guilty. Hands up , The Cholnal hna scooped
mo as well aa you people. '
"Along toward 3 o'clock In the afternoon
when tbo storm was subsiding , the Chicago
newspaper man strolfed Into the Oholna ]
office and flopped wearily Into a chair. When
he waa recognized the whsle office rose at
him , The city editor gathered him In his
embrace and two strong men from the busi
ness office brought him up a bag of glitterIng -
Ing gold.
" 'How d'Je do It ? ' Inquired the city editor ,
admiringly.
" 'Hit tranced it ' the
the plpo and , wa
.
1 ' Chicago fakir's reply. The city editor
handed him his own old Bold wntch nnd
' chain , nnd all Ivan da around hugged him
again. "

The danger buildings ot a powder mill
nro themselves BO constructed that not n
nallhead or Iron in miy shape Is exposed
1 and the roofs nro made slight , BO as to
Blvo easy rent to explosions. The garments
of the workers nro pocketless , BO that they
cannot carry knlvoe or mntehca , or , indeed ,
anything , and nro made of nonlnflaranmblo
material. Even the buttons must not be of
metal. No one is allowed to go nbout with
i trousers turned up nt the 'bottom ' , because
I grit la collected In that way nnd the merest
j hard speck of foreign matter In a charge
of guupowdor is fraught with danger.
I The entrance to danger buildings nrc pro
tected by boards placed edgewise , so that
when the door U opou nothing In the shape
of dirt can work In. This nleo serves ns n
chock to nnyono who might thoughtlessly
proceed to enter without flrst having ro-
novel his 1x > ots nnd put on the overalls
hnt are kept just Inside the door. Doors
nro made to open outward , EO as to enable
hem to escape the moro readily , and on
ho approach ot a thunderstorm the works
nro stopped and the operatives repair to
ho different watch houses scattered over
ho 300 acres covcrexl by thcso extensive
vorks.
Every week the machinery Is Inspected and
the reports as to Its condition are printed
nnd filed. In the case of a danger build-
ng needing to be repaired it must flrst bo
rushed out before a hammer or other Iron
eel la admitted to It. When artificial light
9 required , ns when working at night or
n dull weather , the lights are kept outside ,
iclne placed on the window ledges. In the
case ot the works magazine ' , which Is sur
rounded with water , no light of any kind
s over permitted near It. These are only
a few of the precautions against accidents
nt the works. They nro sufficient , however ,
to show how lively must .bo the sense of
danger. Men In powder houses usually
javc an arranged plnn of escape in their
minds and at the least unexpected noise
lave not hesitated to plunge Into the canal.

"Well , then ho sold out to a trust , the
