Light Yesterday was a season of -weak and differ markets everywhere. Weak to 5 I wer and slow were the ruling quotations j.t all the leading western mrakets and rre was at all times a tone of general weakness and lower quotations at the live s'ick centers. This market opened about f fcady with the closing prices for Thurs day, weakened later and closed fully 5 f nts lower in sympathy with the prevail- -g tone elsewhere. There was a fair ne of offerings yarded although the qual- i y was not very good. All but one of the fwele cars received sold, and in every stance sold as well as could have been ne at any market ,the quotations be- S all over as they were. There were m xed hogs in and lights in abundance. The average weight for the day was only -21 and this took in all the car hogs re- ved and sold. This was 15 pounds light-c- than the weight for Thursday and tirder the weight of the same day last vf ek. The bulk of sales shower a range 'so below that o fthe other two com lring days, and the general run of the xt hogs was in ail senses Inferior, with u few now and then livening up the tone little. It was a good day for Friday, receipts at least being above thote Jast Friday and slightly an improve-r-Tit over thibe of the day previous. The mand from all quarters was good and hogs were rounded up on the close r adily with the earlier receipts taken re of as fast as they came in. There re two cars received after the close I J thesei will cross the scales early this rnlng. The weakness of the market 'i?r the early sales was of course largely Jue1 to the unfavorable reports from other r nts, all of which were weak all day nd closed even lower, but there was imething also in the- fact that the qual- 'v was generally light, mixed and unsat- factory. So far as it was possible the gs sold straight, there being little dis- -.tion to sort or cut out where It could avoided. The receipts were good for r day and the market as satisfactory at any point and the local feeling buoy- r'- Good hogs would have sold all right T 1 It was tha offered stock was disposed 1 1 to the best advantage of the seller.

H'oi Frank Weinshank, formerly Presl ey nt of the state live stock sanitay com rr i -si-m and a prominent stock man of iftrn Kansas, was on the market yes t niav with a car of hogs consigned from jhis firm, Weinshank &i Ilolcomb of Tt 'Chester, Kan. The hogs were light in v 'ght and sold well. He now has a fine rd of pedigreed cattle on his ranch all king welL He says the wheat is not i the best condition in his section and isons that it cannot be well with the mperature where it was nt one time i t winter and at that very degree of d the northern states cannot attempt raise that season wheat. Air. Cowherd, of the shipping firm of A 'e Cowherd of Lamont. Oklahoma, is in person at the yards with two cars "iobs, both of medium weight and sell I g- one at the top of the day and one at t top of the bulk. lie expressed him f If as well satisfied with his grade for the day. Cal Stewart of Whitewater, was on the rrarket with a car of medium weight of far grade which sold at the j r'ng bulk price. iviner A Rlair of Lyons, were In with a c ir'oad of light hogs which sold strong at i, I bulk figures. AN S Thomas of Ponca City, was the .-t to weigh up a. carload of hogs of sht weight, but selling at bulk range I ffures J r ArcGiveney was a shipper of medi n heavy hogs in fair form and selling a within the bulk. 1. ff Houston of Ponca City, had in a car u- tvy hogs of very fair form which t i t the top price Of the day.

TdeDhona Ui 1 To Stand Any Amount of In dustrial Expansion. NO LETTING UP IN METALS Wheat Stronger Cotton Weaker, Situation Hopeful. New York, March 24. R. G. Dun Co.'s weekly review of trade will eay tomorrow: Business is not frightened, either by the great capitalization of new companies' or by the wild fluctuations in Wall street. No matter how the stock operations in New York may count, business elsewhere is large enough to warrant a wonderful expansion of industries, and that is the thing most important to observe. In no considerable branch has production dimin ished, but in practically all it has oetn increasing during the past week. In iron and steel a little lower pric? for Bessemer pig appears at Pittsburg, but with gray forgge 75c higher there and southern iron at Chicago 50 cents to $1 lower. There is no market for billets, as no works east or west can furnish them at present, but quotations range in prices from $25 at Pittsburg to $27 -at Philadel phia. In fln'shed products there is the same trouble. Rails can be bought at $23 in Pittsburg and $24 at Chicago, if at all, but small lots have been sold at $26 at New York. Chicago is taking many contracts for building in Boston, New York and Washington, amounting to 4,000 tons, but makers elsewhere are overcrowd ed with work. No market can deliver plates within any reasonable time and Pittsburg works- are sold to July on sheets, though instead of $2.40 there, $2.63 at Chi cago and $3.00 at Philadelphia is paid. Plate mills are all full and there is heavy demand at Chicago for bars, with one carmaker's contract for 5,000 tons, prices steadily growing stronger. Tha minor metals are all weaker with the reaction of Liondon speculation, though copper has declined to 17c hero and" is yet so much above London that exports have been stopped'for the week. The February out put, both here and in other countries, was greater than last year's monthly average, although February e a short month. Wool is at the doubting point, with large sales ordered from the interior by tired holders and some concessions made to secure transactions at Philadelphia and Boston, though quotations show only mod erate decline, and sales at the three chief markets are almost as large as in 1S92. Manufacturers make many inquiries but the prospect of combinations is potent to hinder transactions. Tho goods are in rather better demand than a year ago, but no largo class of mills can claim toi ba fully employed. The demand for cot ton goods is still strong, but this week has not materially advanced prices. Cotton Is decidedly weaker, though many bell-eve that short supplies will In time insure higher prices, Dut mill and commercial stocks are about 600,000 bales larger than last year abroad, and mill stocks hero must be heavier, because the mills are buying very little, although crowded with work, while the commercial stocks here axe quite large. The wheat market is just now somewhat stronger, for, although the western re ceipts for the week are 3,359,03 bushel'?, against 2,537,666 ast year, and for three weeks 2,900,000 larger, the exports, flour included, havo been for th week from Atlantic ports 2,920,467 bushels, agnlnst 1,S24,569 last year, and from Pacific ports 824.183, against 1.371.S37 last year, other ex portfl being 350,920 bushels. It is not possi ble to ignore the importance of so great a demand extending beyond the middle of March, and sober traders realize that it means a heavier outgof than has been yet expected. Western crop, estimates are large, and such reports as appear of the condition of wheat for the coming year are on the wholo favorable, but prices are 3sc higher than last week, while corn is 2llc higher. The market for cotton has been decidedly weak, owing to some what better receipts at the south and also to conviction that stocks on hand are large enough to meet all demands. Failures for tho week have been 200 In the United States against 251 last year, and 21 in Canada, against 21 last year. B RAD3TRE ET' S. New York, March 24. Bradstreet's week ly review of trade tomorrow will say, in part: The iron situation is still one of great strength, though the volume of busi ness Is concededly smaller than for some weeks past, and one grade of pig Besse mer La lower on the week. Nearly every other grade of pig -iron is higher on the week, however; steel billets and rails are firmly held and nearly all classes- of fin ished material are higher, reectlng the earlier advances In the cruder forms. The boot and shoe situation with jobbers is quite encouraging; hide, though dull, are Arm. and the same Is true of leather, white the current demand for the finished prod uct keeps manufacturers busy. Cotton goodn retain all their old strength, though somewhat quieter in demand at firt hands, while the talk of combination in the man ufacturing branch of trade has seriously unsettled the price of raw wool, which is. weak and lower. Sugar reects steady buy ing in practically unchanged quotations. Lumber is feeling tha stimulus of the approach of active building operatioon, whie pine and spruce are higher a: nearly all markets, w'th hardwood sympathizing and even outstripping these classes of material in their upward movement. Industrially, the situation is ?attfac tory. While actual adrances in wages are as yet confined to tho cotton manufac turing and the iron and steel inoastr.. the current of work in other Hues run ning full, and the ntuabar of operatives who hare gained Ofaa advantage from tne activity in all industrial hues totals eascily S0MC.

BRADSTREET'S FINANCIAL REVIEW New York, March 24. Bradstreefs Financial Reyiew tomorrow -wiH say: Al though decidedly irregular, the market this week was generally strong, its most remarkable feature being the resistance which was offered to the influence of higher rates for money. As explained elsewhere, the combination of seasonable demands from the interior for the April settlements, with the temporary locking up of some large accounts In connection with the pending Industrial companies' deals, caused at the beginning of the week a marked reduction in the supply of call money and an advance in the rates which Wall street had to pay for accommoda tion on stock collateral to 5 and C per cent, some quotations as high as S to 10 per cent being also recorded. There ha never been a time when the amount of securi ties in the market held for speculative ac count and carried in loans of this kind was so farge. The increasing proportion of industrial securities, many of them new j and of untested value, also seemed to conservative people to constitute a dan ger, and it is not strange that many lend ers refuse to accept such collateral, and that where loans are made upon it higher "rates and wider margins are demanded. Stimulated as the bull market has bean since last autumn "by the exceptlonally large supplies of loanable funds and the easy rates, 'the hardening of the money market was considered likely to result In considerable seculative liquidation. Last week had developed symptoms of such a tendency, but, to the surprise of Wall street Itself, the further upward move ment of rates for money at the beginning of the present one produced no great im pression on prices and failed to check the development of bullish activity and manp ulation in various parts of the list. This may be attributed largely to the general recognition of the fact that the causes for the spurt in money rates weer temporary and that after April 1 it is probable that a return flow of money from tho interior will result in renewed ease. In fact, there Is rason to believe that outside Institutions offered increased accounts in consequence of the news that rates had advanced. While time money was Jn increased le quest by Wall street borrowers there has been a large and increasing supply and money on railroad collateral could be easi ly obtained at 4 per cent, while at hlgher rates borrowers on Industrial securities can secure accommodation in spite of the conservatism which is expressed about the latter class of securlles. As the week progressed the release of money which had been temporarily tied up by tome large Industrial deals, with other causes, resulted in easier conditions as to rat's and supplies, and the relief to the money market was reflected by renewed strength in prices.

United States Treasurer Ellis H. Roberts said to day that the impression that the lack of paper money is due to enforced withdraw als of notes by the treasury is not true. "The total circulation per capita in the country, including coin and paper," said Mr. Roberts, "has increased from S23.& March 1, 1SSS, to $25.61 oMrch 1, 1S99. This increase has been progressive for several years. The increase has, it is true, been largely in gold coin, from $446,293,591 March 1, 1896, to $502,305,20 Sat the first of the current month. You will observe that the growth of gold coin has been 5257,011. 67S, but in total circulation for that period the growth has been $400,100.55 showing a net increase of $143,0SS,S77 outside of gold coin. There has been an increase within j these years in every item of circulation except gold certificates, treasury notes and currency certificates. The silver cer tificates in the hands of the people are more now than in 1S06 by $G3,854,S52; the United States notes more by ?67,S46,S25 and the national bank notes more by 530,721,44. The gold bullion in the treasury ran up from 526.S21.4S4 March 1, 1S96, to 5127,235,037 March 1, 1SS9. There does not beem to me to be a deficiency in the circulating medium. The abundance of gold coin does not give relief, because of the prejudice of bankers and their customers against its use. As a remedy the national banks might add to the volume of their notes. But they do not see the profit to ottract them to such a policy. The only other pathway under existing laws to additional circulation is in the use of gold. Coin is, with our habits, less convenient than pa per, but other countries use it. "The 'endless chain' is no longer in operation. No legal tender notes have been offered for gold in a long time. That kind of demand for redemption is, for the present, obsolete. Indeed, my impression is that the prospect of its revival is slight. The excess f our exports over our im ports is so .large and so continuous that we are not likely to have to ship gold to the old .world for some years to come. Besides that, and even more important, the increase in our production of gold is a strong safeguard for the treasury. It at present promises to be an enduring break of the 'endless chain.' Gold is in such relative excess that no one wants to give up legal tender notes or indeed any sort of paper for it. "The treasury department strains every nerve to meet the demand for notes, and especially those of small denominations. At the request of the treasury, the bureau of engraving and printing is printing and delivering to the treasury only notes of 510 and under. tees, and that the company wanted to make a distribution at once, through the trustees, in order to reduce the outstand ing certificates to the amount of the cap itaaization. I requested that the court make a modification of its order. The court declined to grant my request, but later in the day JJudge 'Speer handed me a letter, saying that the court was not disposed to change its order but that as long as those in Control of the Standard Oil trust appeared to be trying to dis solve it the court would not feel disposed to require the strict enforcement of its order." Attorney General oMnett asked that Mr. Chne's testimony in regard to the modi fication of the decree be stricken from the record, but Master Brinsmade overruled the motion. On cross-examination by Mr. Monett, Attorney Clino said that he asked the supreme court to suspend the carry ing out of its decree for four months. Mr. Cline said that he had more testimony to offer in defense. Mr. Monett said that he had more testi mony to offer in defense.

MADAME DREYFUS IS FINED On Her Petition fur the Removal of Certain JTutl-rcs Ileitis: Rejected. Paris, March 21. In the court of cassa tion today M. Ballet de Bauprie, president of the civil section of the court of cassa tion, read a report recommending the re jection of the application of Madame Drey fus for the exclusion from the revision in quiry of three judges, MM. Petit, repon and Lepellotier, who, in the early stages of the proceedings, decided unfavorably on a Dreyfus question. The public prosecu tor M. aMnau, recommended that contrary action be taken, formally supporting the granting of the application of Madame Dreyfus. After a long deliberation, the court decided to reject the application and condemned Madame Dreyfus to pay a fine of 100 francs. The fining of Madame Dreyfus was a formal matter. The civil code dictates that if a request for the ex clusion of the judges is refused the appli cant must pay a fine, the minimum being 100 francs. Shot Pears, an American Citi zen, Just for Fun.

The taking of testimony in the investigation of the Stan dard Oil trust before aMster Commission er Allen T. Brinsmade was completai to da. The only witness examined was Virgil P. Cline, one of the attorneys of the Standard Oil company, vsho took the tand in defense of his client to show that the company had not been guilty of con tempt for violating the supreme court's order of 3895, ordering the trust to be dis solved. Attorney Cline asked to be sworn when Colonel Brismade called upon him to produce witnesses in defense, and was examined by Attorney Goff. "Were you the attorney for the defend ant in the case brought by Attorney Gen eral Watson against the Standard Oil company in the supreme court?" asked Mr. Goff. "I was one of them," replied Mr. Cline. "When was that decree issued?" "On March 2, 1892." "What was don to modify the decree V "On March 3 I received a copy of the decree. On March 7 I went to New York and on that date I wrote to Hon. W. i. Speer, one of the supreme judges, saying that attempts would be made at once to oisso.ve the trust, but that there wre seme difficulties in the way which I de sired to explain to the court and would ask for a modification of the decree. On March 1 I met the supreme court judges ta chambers, with J. K. Richards, who had become attorney general, and ex Attorney General Watson, who had int tuted the proceedings against the Standard Oil trust, l stated to the court that I wanted a temporary recognition of the trustees in order to comply with the rde of he court to dissolve the trust.

Wood of this city, has succeeded in mak ing photographs of waves of sound in air. The sound wave is the crack of an elec tric spark, and it is illuminated and pho tographed by means of the light of a eec ond spark, which flashes between two magnesium wires at some distance behind the first, and at an interval of about one ten-thousandth of a second after the first spark. The sound wave is thus caught before it has got out of the fied of the instrument, although moving with a ve locity of 1,000 feet a second. The wave appears as a thin circle of shadow with a light border, being simply a sectional view of the rapidly diverging spherical s,hell of condensed air constituting the sound wave. By placing a glass plate near the point where the wave starts, the re flected wave or echo has been photograph ed, which appears as a circle with equal but opposite curvature. These waves were observed by Topler, a German phys icist, a numbe rof ytars ago but they have never been photographed before.

Dr. Hunter, the United States minister to Honduras and Guatemala, had a long talk with Secre tary Hay today preparatory to starting for his post. The most important and press ing matter with which the new minister is charged is the presentation to the gov ernment of Honduras of a request from the United States government for repara tion and indemnity in the case of the American, Pears, who was akllled by a sentry during a revolutionary disturbance in Honduras. It has been extremely diffi cult for the state department to obtain a full statement of the facts In this case. The Honduras authorities could not be de pended upon to ecure any Information; so the department was obliged to fall back upon it own resources.. First a warship, the Machias, was sent to Puerto Cortez. the nearest port to the scene of the killing, and Commander Logan made as thorough an investigation as could be had at that point. His report indicated that the killing had been an entirely un justifiable one. But there were some mat ters of detail to be developed-and to that end United States Consular Agent Mitch ell was called on to supplement the in vestigation. He was obliged to make a long journey on horseback across an al most trackless country, o that his report has been greatly delayed. The document, however, has reached the state department and It was today placed in the hands of Dr. Hunter for his Information. It fully confirms Captain Logan's estimate of the character of the killing and it will be upon these two reports that the demand for reparation will be made. The consular agent shows that Pears was challenged at a considerable distance by a sentry. Unfamiliar with the Spanish language, he yet comprehended the nature of the call, andJ stopped instantly, but was shot down by the sentry from what appears to be mere wantonness. In his dying moments. Pears said he might have escaped around the corner to the nearest house when challenged, but he did not care to flee in that fashion and thus justify a suspi cion that he was doing anything wrong. Rear Admiral Sampson ooked in at Puerto Cortez about ten days ago with the Xew York and Brooklyn of his squadron, but he has so far made no special report to the navy department on this subject. My mother suffered with chronic 'diar rhoea for several months. She was attend ed by two physicians who at last pro nounced her case hopeless. She procured one 25-cent bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and five dostrs gave her permanent relief. I take pleasure in recommending it as the best on the market. Mrs. F.
