THE MARKETS ON FRIDAY

IXDIAWAPOLIS A.\D CHICAGO LIVE STOCK QI OTATIOXS.

Br^adat-aff* aud Provlalona — General Course af Trade—.\oteu and Commenta—Brokers* Gossip— Local Jobbing Prices,

The wheat market ha* been weak a greater part ot the day. There was a show of firmness early, but It met aellIitg orders, and tHreafter the feeling became decidedly weak. Liverpool was lid to lid lower. Continental markets were unchanged. Recelpta were mf>derate, there being 3W cars in the Northwest, against 257 last tveek and 295 last year Primary receipts were 450,00!) bushels, against 205.000 last year. Exports were 349.000 bushels, less Newport News and Galveston, from which points there was no report. The Argentine shipments for the week were 1,640.000 bushels. Total shipments from the Argentine on the new crop to date are 6,962,000 bushels. Tlte shipment of wheat from Chicago for tha Iifelter interest so far is about 1.400.000 bushels, of which 600,000 bushels have arrived in New York. Orders have been given so far for 2,700,000 bushels to the elevator interests for shipment. There has been an out movement from Minneapolis to Duluth, thought by some to be wtieat Intended for Chicago, and by others to store In vessels for shipments on the opening of navigation. Tbs name of Armour has been given as the eeller of May wheat on yesterday and to-day. There has been a good deal of selling of May on hard spots for several days, and It is thought only a person of nerve and resources would take this risk. Some have even supposed this selling was for account of fne clique. The price of May wheat in Chicago is away out of line with any other market in the knowr. world, freights considered. While many believe U too high, there has been great fear of selling it lest the seller be caught in the Leiter trap. The bears have been like the fabled frog—“very desirous of finding water, but afraid to Jump into a well, lest they could never get out.*’ The visible will probably show considerable decretive, possibly 1,600.(100 bushels, owing to the shifting of wheat from elevators to cuts, which will make the decrease more apparent than real. February ranged between $1.06 arid $103V May sold between $106Vfe arid $1.04**, and closed at 11.04V July opened at 91kic, sold at 91%c. declined to 90c, reacted to 905ic. and closed at 90*40. September closed at 78c and December tut 77*4c. Com made a show of firmness during the first hour. Later, on free selling, there was some decline, May closing at 30*4c. Com ts affected somewhat by weather conditions, but the large stocks prevent any material advance. - Oats received some help to-day from good sales for shipment. However, when wheat and com weakened, the market became easier, and the early advance was lost, May closing at 26%c, same as last night. Provision* started firm, but met free offering, and 2(Kg26c was lost on pork and .10c do other products. Our Pig Iron Consumption. [Iron and tksel Bulletin.] For a great many years we have been in the habit of estimating the annuel consumption of pig Iron In the United fltates, an exact computation not being possible. In doing this we have made due allowance for imports, exports and stocks on hand and unsold. We estimated the consumption of pig iron in the eight years from 1889 to 1896 as follows, with which we place side by side the production In the same years: Actual Estimated production. consumption. Years Gross tens. Gross tons. 3 S9 7.803,612 7,756,093 1890 9,$01,703 8.943.338 1891 8,279,870 8,366,728 1892 9,157,000 9.303.315 1893 7,124,502 6.!!K2,607 1894 6,657,388 6.694.478 1896 9,410,308 . 9,628.572 1896 ....8,623,127 / 8.276,774 It Is a little too soon to fully estimate our consumption of pig iron In 1897, the import and export statistics of pig Iron for the whole year not being as yet available, but a very close approximation to actual results is possible. We produced In that year 9,662,680 gross tons and Imported, ray, 18,000 tone. The Imports in the first eleven months were 18,£27 tons. At the beginning of the year there were on the market 847,686 tons of pig Iron. The total supply for the year was, therefore, approximately 10,518.366 tons. Of this total supply we exported about 260.000 tons. The actual exports In the first eleven months were 236,502 tons. There were on the market at the close of the year 874,978 tone. Deducting these two items from the total supply, we have 9.383,388 tons as the approximate consumption of the year. This quantity is about $45,000 tons lees than the eoneuration of 1895 and not very much in excees of the consumption of 1892. It will be observed that we are not consuming as much pig Iron as has been Industriously represented. Brokers* Gossip. [By L. W. Louis's Wire.] H«w York, March 4.—Transactions by arbitrage houses were very small, and had no effect upon the market; possibly they bought a little St. Paul and other international stocks and sold Canadian Pacific. There seemed to be a little more commission business than yesterday; one house, with a prominent Washington connection, was a large seller all round the room, and brokers representing Keene and Well were also active on the bear side. Their sales were especially noticeable in Union Pacific preferred, St Paul, B. Q. and Manhattan. ( One broker sold 6,000. He often handles orders for Mr. Keene, but ip this Instance it is believed that his order came from & prominent commission-house. New York Central opened fairly strong, but sold off quickly on scattered commission-house •elling. There was no repetition of excellent buying of yesterday. There was the usual crop of rumors from Washington of a somewhat alarming nature; there was very little attention paid to them, except by the professional element, which •wishes to see lower prices; they, of,course, were very active in dlse*l the worst rumors they could think of or hear of. Sugar was strong for a while; bull tlpe on it are very plentiful. Railroad earnings which came to hand were on the whole of a favorable nature. Impost* I*to Great Britain. valuo of all Imports into the United Kingdom in 1897 was £461,238 683 out of which £189,721,966. or about 42 per cent, was paid for living animals, for fcod and untrlee of food and drink. The former amount Is £9,429.779 and the latter 4^6,716,006 jn excess of the correepoadmg total for 1896. The subjoined table will be of Intereet: 1897. iSj*.

gen tine has shipped 6.952,000 bushels wheat, against 703.000 same time last year. Argentine wheat shipments for the week were i.640.o00. against 1,408,000 last week and 192,000 last year. Corn none, against 56,000 bushels last we

and 40,0*)0 bushels last year.

Madrid—The Queen Regent has signed the decree reducing duty on wheat and

flour.

Tacoma, Wash., March 4.—The Minneapol® grain firm of J. Q. Adams & Co. is buying 250.000 bushels of wheat in Palouse county through a buyer named Carlin. He bought 100,000 bushels yesterday. It is the first Eastern buying since 1893. Leiter's big rail shipments keep the wheat tone steady. The bull crowd bought calls last night. Leiter has ordered out 540,000 bushels, making 2.700,000 bushels so far. Broomhal cable: Reduction in Spanish duty on wheat is 30c a bushel. f Broomhal l cable says: "Argentine wheat visible 3,360,000 bushels, against 3,312.000 last week and 624,000 last year.” Closing cables: Liverpool—Wheat, spot, *^d lower, futures *4d lower to higher: com, spot, unchanged, fututes unchanged to *4d lower. Paris—Wheat 10c lower to 10c higher, flour 25c higher. Ant-werp-Unchanged. Modern Miller says: “The flour trade shows more firmness throughout the South, and In some markets an advance In prices Is Reported. Corn Is in good demand at better prices. Pacific coast exports in both flour and wheat light. The growing wdnter wheat still holds its fine condition In the western section of the territory, and the only unfavorable reports come from the Middle States, and these are more vague and meager than authentic.” Chicago—The market here was probably affected somewhat by the startling rumor of the assassination at Havana of Senator Proctor, a rumor since denied.

Lillie Taskesu 807 Union street, celebrated her seventh birthday yesterday, and It came near being her last, che and her four-year-old sister Hazel, her oldest brother and her cousin, Edna Conroy, were having a jolly time after supper last night, when the three girls suddenly began to vomit. The boy, in the meantime, had got sleepy and had gone upstairs to bed. Mr. Taskey. Mrs. Conroy and the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. William Presslj, thought it curious that one child after another should vomit. I and om. of them remarked lightly, *T ! guess it’c catching.” About 8 o’clock, j however, things took a serious turn. 1 There was no cessation to the children's sickness, and curiosity turned to excitement and alarm. Dr. S. M. Johnson was called. When he saw the wholesale nature of the work before him, he sent for Dr. Thomas B. Eastman. By the time he arrived the grandfather, William Pressly, was taken 111. The doctors saw symptoms of poisoning, and applied the usual remedies. The condition of Lillie Taskey was alarming, and for a time It was feared that she would not recover. The other two soon showed improvement. This morning the two were playing about the house as usual, and showed none of the effects of their sickness, gillie was still in bed, but was bright, and It was expected that she would soon be up and around again. William Pressly went to work as usuaL Tho doctors arc unable to say what the poison was. There were slight symptoms of phosphorous. The family had heard that a baker from whom they bought bread had scattered cockroach powder in his shop, and that possibly the loaf may lave been placed for a moment on the counter or shelf where some ot tne powder lay. Lillie, who suffered most, ate the crust, of which she is fond, and it was therefore resolved would get any poison that might have been on the bread. The baker, however, denied that he had any cockroach powder or other poisonous stuff about his shop. The children drank copiously of water from a well, and this water will be analyzed. o PHOTOGRAPHERS’ PRIZES.

Metropolitan street railway was exceptionally weak and lost the opening improvement. Near the end of the hour the market improved under the leadership of Sugar and Manhattan, The efforts of the bulls to rally the market were feeble, and reactions soon set in again.

Nearly All of the Governor's Contingent Fund Used.

The Governor's contingent fund of $1,000 is rapidly being wiped out by the payment of the bills growing out of the Investigation into the Ripley county lynching. Smith and Burns, the two Government detectives, who gathered information for the State, have been paid and discharged. Smith, who was set up in the agricultural Implement business at Osgood by the State, made some money. At one time the State was $600 "behind the game” with him, but business picked up, and the detective man-

aged to sell a good many farm Implements, while gathering the facts about the lynching, and so as it turned out the business venture of the State was not so very expensive. Constable Hunter, the man who arrested Hezekiah Hughes and brought the witnesses to Cross Plains, sent in a bill for $75 to-day. Out of this amount he will pay the men who assisted him. If the State intends to put any new plans in execution, the program is being kept a secret. The Impression about the Capitol is that nothing more will be done at this time. The Attorney-General has said all along that the lynchers will eventually be convicted, and it is pretty well understood that he is not in favor of dropping the case. ANOTHER LANDMARK TO GO. The Old Brick House at Central Avenue and Eleventh Street.

A LETTER FROM CARNEGIE

HE BELIEVES IN SH1PBI ILD1NG NEAR SEW YORK.

The old brick house at Central avenue and Eleventh street, one of the landmarks in Indianapolis, is to be torn away to make a place for a new building. This house was a part of the estate of The late Dr. Ryland T. Brown, who was a professor to the Butler College for many years. Joseph F. Brown, of the clerk's office, a brother of Dr. Brown, save that he does not know Juet how long the house has been built, but it was not a new

Structure when he came to Indianapolis sixty-one years ago. He remembered it as the first brick house in Indianapolis. Then, however. It was to the country, as the city was still a mile away. The house was then known as the Johnson homestead. His brother afterward bought It from the Johnson estate and lived there many years. Up to a few weeks ago there had been some litigation about o MAYOR GOOD OUSTED.

He Spent Money for Beer and Failed to Report It.

Springfield. O., March 4.—The Circuit Court has Issued a decree ousting Mayor John M. Good from office. The proceedings wer” brought under the Garfield election law. which requires candidates after election tc file sworn statements of all their expenditures. Judge Adams said the testimony showed that Mayor Good spent $283.50 In the campaign which he failed to include in his sworn state ment of expense*, and which included only $45. Of the above amount $91 was spent for beer. Mayor Good also promised the Trades and Labor Assembly to appoint a union man on the Board of Public Affairs, which Is against the law, and that organization backed the ouster proceedings. Mayor Good is one of the most prominent business men in Springfield. This was his first experience in politics and a test of the law was made on him. The sworn statements of most of the candidates have been disputed, but not carried to the courts. Mayor Good was formerly a Prohibitionist, but was elected as the Democratic candidate. TO USE THE SAME BAIL GROUND.

Indianapolis dub will Not Have to Move This Y ear.

The Indianapolis baseball club will not have to hunt a. new home this year.. Two weeks ago, C. L. Hare, representing tho Ritziqger heirs, who own the present ball park grounds, in East Ohio street, told Treasurer Golt. of the Athletic Association, that it might be the desire of the l.bfrs presently to subdivide the property.

A Great Industry Could he Made ProIItable There, He Smys—.The Reason* He Advance* for This Opinion. __

Cleveland. O., March 3.—This week's Issue of the Iron Trade Review has the following important letter from Andrew Carnegie: “Cannes, France. February 10, 189$. “To the Editor: May I call attention, through your columns, to the field which is open for a first-class ship-building yard upon the Hudson. East river, or lower bay. near New York. The price paid for steel by British and German ship yards Is so much higher than shipbuilders in New York would be required to pay that the difference would make, in itself, an excellent profit. Plate* are worth from $20 to IS3 & ton in New York. The quoted price at Glasgow 1* nearly $30. Other prices are in proportion, and all the wood work of ships is also much cheaper with us. If a yard were built to-day with the newest appliances, the total cost of labor, even at much higher wages, would be less than in any ship yard I know of either in Britain or Germany. I name near New York as the beat for several reasons: “l. . A ship yard there would get repair work, which is always profitable. “2. A dry-dock could be part of the equipment which would also be highly profitable. “3. Two years hence the cost of transport of steel, delivered at the ship yard at New York from Pittsburg, will not exceed $1 per ton via Conneaut and the deepened Erie canal. Indeed, it will be less, since it will cost nothing to send steel to Conneaut In cars which otherwise must return to the lake empty for ore. “The present seaboard ship yards are so usefully occupied with domestic business that they can not give foreign business proper attention. The New York yard should be constructed on a larger scale, and with special reference to the foreign demand. I am satisfied that the United States can readily regain the supremacy in ship-building It had when wooden ships were in vogue. “It only needs an enterprising Western ship-building concern to establish a vard near New York and manage it with the fkilj and energy which have characterized those on the lakes. This is the only prominent department of manufacturing in which our country is behind, and It is one to which it easily oan obtain front rank. It would Justify rteel manufacturers to guarantee to such a ship-bulidlng concern a continuance of th«-pre*ent extremely low rates upon steel for a term of years, and also that steel of all kinds and armor and guns should alwavs be fumtehed at the lowest price paid by European Ship-builders. But there I* nothing to fear from the prices of steel for these henceforth are to rule lower in our country than in any country of Europe. It will not be long before a large portion of ft* steel simply must be drawn by Europe from the United State*. “If I were a younger man, or rather if I did not belong to a concern which all my capital. I should be greatly inclined to enter upon the building of ships somewhere near New York harbor. There would be no warships or Atlantic liners open for bid* to any part of the world which the New York vard would not have something to say about. Every needed element Is present for regaining our supremacy a* the principal ship-building country. Surely some one of the successful lake concerns will consider the advisability of establishing a branch yard near New York—a branch which I predict would very soon grow to many times the capacity of the original works and give a much higher return upon capital, besides rendering its originator famous. Very truly yours. “ANDREW CARNEGUp.” DEATH OF WIIIGHT CUNEY.

They Are *« Rare Now as to be Almost Priceless.

[Special to The Indianapolis News.] JeffereonviHe, Ind.. March 4.—Dr. W. H. Work, of Charlestown, ha* returned from a trip to Arizona, and has brought back with him several Navajo blankets, “but.” he remarked, sorrowfully, “they are not what they used to be. The Navajo* are too improvident and lazy to make such blankets a* they used to make In the year* gone by and before the whit© man began to hanker after that particular weave. The blankets now turned out are pitiful and tawdry affair* compared with those of bygone times. Those of to-day can be bought for about $30, while a real, old-fashioned

blanket is really priceless and can not now be bought Those ancient blanket* were hfllf an Inch thick and would hold water as well aa a wooden tub. The finest of them are found buried with the bodies of dead chiefs, and they are practically indestructible. “The women who weave the blankets of to-day can make the old-faahloned blanket Just as well, for tlfry know the secret of manufacture, but the clleaper blanket 1* easily sold and takes only a short time to make, .while It would take nearly a year to weave one of the real blankets, those glorious combination* of colors and material, one of which would easily be worth $500. “They have an exquisite color sense, these women, and blend their materials perfectly. The coloring is fast, and 1* made of vegetable and mineral matter, the secret of the making being handed down from generation to generation. A tribe can be known by the color schem* of its blankets. The designs vary greatly. Sometimes religious ceremonies are typified, sometimes tribal and sometimes personal history or other themes, all of which may be read by those skilled in the sign and color language of these Indiana , “How are these blankets made? Oh, th% manner Is very primitive and seems simple enough. They are woven on upright frames by hand, and the thread* are pounded together as tight a* po«*tbl#. But the glory of the Navajo blanket has departed, and I expect before many years 'the secret of their making will be lost.” A^ALUABLE CYCLOPEDIA. How a Capitalist Traced aa lavea- * tor After Fifty Year*. [Special to The Indianapolis New*.] Jeffersonville, Ind.. March 4.—"This little cyclopedia is worth $10,000 to me,” said Judge John H. Stotsenberg. of New Albany, one day, pointing to a small set of volume'- on his Shelves. Of course, hi* listeners smiled and then be told the story. Several years ago he became interested in a mechanical device, which he had figured out and thought of haring patented. if no one else had been before him. He began to look up the matter tn technical books and cyclopedias. He failed to find anything about H. until one day he happened oo the cyclopedia mentioned. and In it was described the identical piece of mechanism, with the name of the Inventor and his address In a New England town. Judge Stotsenberg wrote to the place, but was Informed that the man had moved away many years ago. The invention was made nearly fifty years ago. and there seemed small chance that the man was stUl alive. But a short while afterward the Judge learned that he was; that he still labored on bla scheme, and that he was very poor. Judge Stotsenberg at once commu moated with him, patents were perfected, working model* built, and the thing proved a great success. A company was formed, the old Inventor received a large royalty and was happy, while Judge fftotsenberg clea*ed $10,000, "all through consulting the cyclopedia.” Judge Rueeeir* Decision.
