Tlm queen's ileath caused dullness In tho
Ircal whmt market. a tho Liverpool mar
ket, which Is usually Influential in deter
mining tho courso, was closed out of re
spect. The volume was almost entirely In
thu hand of scalpers. May opened un
changed at "I'ic to "Hit- and sold early be
tween TPfte and "le. llradstreet's world's
visible showed a decrease of 2.200.000 bushels.
This was 7oo.(X) bushels greater than had
been expected, and shorts took It In connec
tion with the smaller northwest receipts
ami covered somo during the latter half of
tho session. May In consequence rallied to

Ponerrut SpeiMilntorn vtltli Ample lle
soureoN nominate the Market,
NKW YORK, Jan. 23,-Today's market
demonstrated Its professional character. It
was distinctively a trader market. The
trading was done by powerful speculators
with ample roscvirces. The transactions
were on a lnrge scale and tho price move
ment was much wider than lit on ordinary
room traders' market, but the method of
operations and the net result were much
the same. A scrutiny of tho net changes
for tho day will show that, except in a few
stocks, they are small and pretty well
mixed between gains and losses. Yet nt
oho time tho whole list wus at 11 level well
over yesterday's tlnal price. The realizing
movement In the last hour was sulllclcnt to
wlpo out almost all of tho earlier advances
and only the llnal slight rally saved tho list
from 11 larger showing of net losses than la
actually tho case.
Ruylng by room shorts to cover was
largely responsible for tho final rally. The
concentrated nature of the buying iind tho
lueiiiuy 01 ine nroKers ny wnom 11 was
done, strengthened the trading, and there
was no warrant for tho report that the
speculation was In the hands of tho cotetio
who made a demonstrative chaugo from tho
bear to tho hull slclo of tho market during
tho course of Monday's trading. Tho selling
during tho last hour was also of a very
concentrated character, but was by dif
ferent brokers from thoao who executed tho
early buying orders. Tho deduction that
largo speculative profit-taking wns being
mndo was not 11 strained one. Tho consis
tent weakness of Missouri Paclllc, which
fell at ono time S'4 points below yesterday's
high level, left little room for rumors of
credenco In a largo northwestern railroad
consolidation and gavo color to tho report
that a short Interest In tho stock had set
tled bv lirlvaln nirreement. Tliero wns it
distinct Rhitlngof speculative Interest from
uio ranroaiis to tno industrials and It was
tho evidences of re.llzln-r In tho railroad
list under cover of the new strength In the
industrials that caused tho break In tho
rnatket. Such early gains as 2"j, In St. Paul,
2"i lit Rrooklyn Transit, 2'4 In Ilaltlmore &
Ohio, 2H In People's Cius and others nearly
as substantial wero completely wiped out
In t he later reaction. The decline from tho
highest reached 3"i In St. Paul. In Rrook
lyn Transit, 2Vi In Delnwaro & Hudson, 2'1
lit Rnltimnro & Ohio and Manhattan and
from 1 to 'J points In n largo number of no
tlvo Hlockq. Tho steel stocks reacted from
tho best In sympathy, but hardened again
In the Into dealings, the lenders rising to
tho best nt tho close on heavy absorption.
Federal Steel's gain was 3V Pressed Steel
Car roso nn extreme G', wiillo tho annual
meeting was in session, nnd the preferred
3". All the most Important members In tho
group gained from 1 to 3 points. There was
no news to account for tho rUo, but thu
fact that the disturbances which threaten
tho steel trudo might bo settled by the fuw
Individuals who control the resources In
that trade at present nnturally makes them
available for speculative manipulation. Tho
volume of the gold exports for tomorrow's
steamer, which roso to $3,30,ooo, had rather
a chilling iulluenco on tho lute speculation.
In splto of tho continued largo How of
money to this center. The gulns by tho
banks on subtrcnaury operations alone thus
far this week are only about $t!50,iH below
tho gold export. Money continued very easy
In all departments With tho exception of
tho reaction In Wabash bonds the markets
for bonds was generally Ilrm. Total sales,

The following are tho closing prices on
tho New York Stock exchange:

NKW YORK. Jan. 23. COTTON The ti

creased today by no news of business from

" tuiliitH htclier t.loiildatlon soon set In
nnd conslileruhlo weakness developed beforo
sulllclcnt support was enticed in ny tno ue
cllno to arrest tho downward tendency.
Rut toward mlddny a partial rally oc
curred on covering and somo buying for a
reaction bnscd on the news that sojthern
spot markets wero stiffening on good export
demnnd. Soon after midday prices ad
vanced to a level several points above tho
closo of yesterday on a momentary scare
of shorts, duo to assurances that every halo
of January cotton for which notices had
been put out In tho morning had been rend
lly taken up by several of the strongest
houses In tho trade. Tho fear that Liver
pool might open higher In tho morning also
prompted covering. There was a sharp
bulge In tho Inst half hour on urgent de
mand from 11 leading locnl export houso
which has foreign connections. At the
closo the market was steady with prices

ROSTON, Jan. Sl.-Thn American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say of tho wool
trade tomorrow: It Is 11 pretty monotonous
state of affairs which ono finds In the Ilos
ton wool market at proi-.ent. There Is an
entire absence of that snap and vivacity
which one lliuls In a bull period. ToJay
the smnllest Items. pf news S'-em lurge end
tiiil'ortant and If they liavn the least likeli
hood of tniliienclug tho market favorably
are regarded as worthy of notice. A few
weeks ago the trudo was awaiting for two
events, tho opening of the heavyweight
season and the 7ipenlng of tho London
sales. Two weeks ago the American
Woolen company opened Its lines of over
coatings nnd took good orders. Tho other
houses followed with their overcoating
lines. Rut tho wool dealers nro as yet
unable to see any great amount of new
business on this account. Now they nrc
waiting for the opening ot the other heavy
weight lines tho llrst part of February. A
week ago the Loudon sales opened, and nt
an advance. This, too, has not caused any
great amount of business to bo transacted.
A little better tone, perhaps, but trade
wnlts this time to see now prices hold up
In London. Prices are not nil weak nnd
whatever the apathy of tho mark;t mny
be. however small tho nunntltv of rales.
the foot remulns that the dealers and
farmers nllko are not letting tip ono whit
In their opinion In tho value of their com
modity. That Is ono reason why sails nro
so light, liecuuso the dealers will not make
concessions.
Tho miles for tho week in Tloston
amounted to 1.170.U0O nounds domestlo nnd
11.1.000 pounds foreign, making a total of
1 2M,(1 pounds, against a total of 1.713,0'JO
tor tno previous wees and a total or 3,120,
001) for the eorrespondlng week last year,
The sales slnco January 1 amount to r,1b9,
ono pounds, against 13,155,600 for tho corrc
spi piling tlmo last year.

CATTLI5 Thero was another liberal run
of onttlo hero today, and buyers wero
rather Inclined to pound tho market a
llttlo on beef steers. They seemed to want
tho cattle, hut they claimed that prices
nrc a llttl stiff, and. us it result, bids
wero generally a little lower. Some of the
best grades of beef steers that Just suited
tho nuyers may navo sold for right around
steady prices, but tho general market
could ho quoted weak to a dime lower. The
greatest decline was on tno unoesiraiiio
grades and wnrmed-up stuff. Tho mnr
ket wns rather slow, us sellers wero hold
ing for steady prices.
Them was qulto a few cows on sale, but
tho demand seemed to bo eounl to tho
supply, nnd ns n result tho market was In
good shape. Some of thn choicest hunches
wero picKcu up nt a tittle stronger prices,
and tho market as a wholo could be called
steady to strong. Tho common kinds
did not show much Improvement, but still
sellers did not experlenco much If any
dlfljculty In getting steady prices for their
nniaings.
Hulls, calves nnd stags sold Just about
In yesterday's notches, no particular
change In tho prices pnld being noticeable.
Tho feeder market continued in good
shapo today, nnd the supply being rather
light nnd tho demnnd good the market
ruled nctlve and strong on the desirable
bunches, Oood heavyweight cattlo are
selling nt very satisfactory prices, but tho
ugni common Kinus nre not in any too
good demnnd. They, however, sold todny
at fully yesterday's prices. Tho same Is
truo of sho stuff anil of stock calves and
bulls. Representative sales:

1IOOS There wus aunt her liberal run of
hogs heie today and tho market s'arted
ou'. rather slow, but unout steady. Tho
first sales were mostly .it $3.12' and $6 15,
but It took good heavyweight hogs to bring
tho latter price. Packers did not want
to nay over a shilling for tho generul run
or hogs and sellers were holding for $3.15,
find consequently tho hogs did not move
toward the scales at a. very rapid rate.
They wero bidding $5.10 tor tho lightweight
hogs and 15.12',. for the generul run of
mi ilium weights. It was ev.dent, however,
that the puckers wantd the hogs, and as
sellers hold out they hud to pay the prices.
As the morning udvuuccd the market took
on moro life and the closo wits strong r.nd
active. Tho bulk of all the hogs .old ut
$5!2'4fi5. 1714, and ns high us $5.20
was paid. The lightweights sold .it $3.12'4.
or worse, and the medium wclghtn ut $5.15.
nnd tho choice heavyweights sold at $Vl7',a
or bettor. As will tio seen from tho table
of nverugo prices the market today aver
ages a shade higher thnn yesterday, owing
to tho weak closo yesterday und tho itronii
cioso many, iteprej'j.itaiive sales:

Splendid Old liner's Story of Hon- IIU
Viiiiiib Son Died In the Field,
TI10 most dignified of all tho Poor gen
erals, (ielicral Do la Roy. has the uppeur
111100 of 11 Hebrew patriarch and the milli
ners of nn old-time French seigneur, says u
correspondent of the London Mall. And vet
Is De la Roy .1 true lloer. Tho line lines of
Ills Huguenot unrestry nro apparent in his
high-bridged, finely chiseled nose, his well
poised head, his delicate hands and feet
Ills breast Is swept by a well combed
bourd und his whole stature shortened bv
tho masslveiioss of his fine bend. Oenorul
Do In Roy stopped Into tho wnr with u fine
reputation us a louder. As a Hold cornet
ho had served his country in all of Its
native) wura slnco 18.12 nml when the Frco
State was at war with the Rasutos In IS0.1
ho had charge of a commando. For eleven
years he had occupied a seat in tho First
Volksriiad and gained for himself there a
widespread reputation ns the silent motn
lor. A lifelong opponent of Paul Kruger.
ho said some years ago, In my presence, to
very Intimate friends of his und mine: "No
good can possibly come to this slato until
that old man Is nut of the way." Ills
known opposition to President Kruger cost
him the position of cnmmiilidnut generul
when Plot Joubort died.
In tho unr General Do la Roy lias boon
tho silent man. And yet hits he done work
second to none In tho Held. Ills ohalico
oamo nt Madder river. The truo story of
Modder river battle has not yet boon told
Sufllco It that Oenorul Do la Roy, and not
Oenoral Cronje. was tho moving spirit on
tho lloer side. Ho chose tho positions and
ho. fought the battle. It was at this light
General Do la Roy suffered a. tnigle loss. I
give thn llttlo story exactly us the weather
worn generul guve It to mo. Remember
only that Its tragedy was lullultely deeper
when ono wus in the uetuiil presenoo of tho
tnelturn. sad-eyed man, with his soft voice
stilling the movement of his busv adjutants.
"Yes. I hud my oldest boy with mo In tho
first buttles. Ho wus only 15 nml not big
for his ngo. but wherever I went ho went,
nnd I think he did his duty.
"Wo wero walking together from one po
sition to another nt Modder river, when tho
boy began to lag a llttlo behind. I turned
to hint nnd nsked If ho was hit. 'Yea,
father.'
"I said: 'You had hotter come to thn
nmbulance with me, then,' nnd wc walked
across to the tent.
"Arrived thero ho lay down and began to
grow very gray.
" 'Aro you going to din, my son?' 'Yes,
father.'
"In half an hour ho wns dead, shot
through the abdomen."
These two men. Lord Roberts nnd Gen
eral De la Rev. have a great bond In com
mon In the loss of their first-born. No
sooner hud his eldest son been killed than
General Do la Roy was Joined nt the front
by his second son. n boy barelv vet 14. If a
T.oo-Motford bullet has not found him nlso
that llttlo lad will be bearing tho torrlblo
fatigues nf guerrilla, war at his father's
side today
Do !a Roy's massive head and heavy
board, set on a stmro, clean-c.lt bodv, glvo
him tho npponronco nf n man of very
medium stature. And vet I smmoue lie Is
a man of five feet ten and nne-hnlf Inches In
height. Ho wns a strange figure In the field.
Dressed In 11 course brown tweed suit, with
a light colored patch on tho seat of Ills
trousers, ho rodo u raucil llasuto nonv.
No man has over accused Do le Rev of any
thing approaching dlshonestv In him Is
grand material for 11 lnval Rrltlsh subject.
Ho voted against tho dlsnatch nf the ulti
matum In tho last secret session of tlm
Volksrnad beforo the war and he has
fnucht throughout us a patriot, not ns a
political agitator.

Mr. Onto Read Is as Intractable under
the editorial blue pencil us I tho average
writer, relates the Salurdav Evening Post,
but ho once submitted himself unreservedly
to the censorship of a person who made
no elalnis to llterarv attainment. Mr. Road
was then the sfar. If of the solo, reporter
on the Llttlo llork Gazette. This ws In
that period which Is elosolv described In
his novel "Krrnot Ilonloro "
A Judge In Perry countv. Arknnsis. le
onine so notoriously unpopular In bis dls'r et
that the sheriff ileolared Ills Inabllltv to 1 11
forco the law and tlm nvielftrnti appealed to
Governor Thomas J. Churchill to send tho
militia and restore order. In rcspon" to
this demand the Ominnw guards under thn
command of General "Hob" Newton, woro
sent to put down tho imrlslng. This fa
mous old confederate lighter at nnco rea
lized the Importance of preventing thn
publication. In t lm loading paners of the
state, of sensational accounts of the affair
nnd Its management. All the correspond
ents oxeept Mr. Read were easllv put under
censorship, but tho general realized thut
illplomaov must be uped In handling his
high-spirited young friend, the future
novelist.
"How would you like to have a nlrn
snug nlaco In my headquarters?" Inquired
the wllv old general.
"First rale," was the enthusiastic re
sponse. "Well." continued the officer. "I'll Just
put you on my staff and make you a part
of mv household." This nrrangement wns
carried out. When tho correspondent had
Mulshed his "copy" the general remarked:
"Just 1I me seo that u minute. If you
don t mind.
"No." was tho quick response, "I enn't
do that, Rob."
"Hut I demand It," ouletly Insisted tho
generul.
"I refuse It." hotly retorfod voung Rend.
"On what grounds do you makn your de
mand?" "On tho fact " returned General Newton,
drawing Mr Head's commission from his
pocket, "that you ore an nllloer on my start
and under my command."
Then ufter 11 pause the commander con
tinned: "You uro now drawing the full
pay of a major of stato troops in actlvo
service."
Read thrust his hand In his pocket, drew
out the small residue of his expense money,
sennnod it thoughtfully, nnd exclaimed:
"General. I report for duty! I reckon you
wouldn't mind advancing my llrst week's
ini) and, let the war go on!"
