The ebb and flow of the tide of speculation grows more sluggish daily, and the Stock Exchange is no longer the bustling place it used to be. Yesterday was duller than any of the preceding days of inactivity, and the sales did not average' more than 21,000 shares an hour, only three stocks exceeding 10,000 shares. In the usually active list the changes at the close of busiLess, compared with Tuesday night's final quotations, are insignificant, except In a few of the specialties. The market opened firm, the only important change being a decline of 1 per cent.

LOCAL. CHAIN AXU PHODCCE. Fine "Winter Wenther Helping Trade, witli Irlee In Mit I.I new S tend 5-. The bright weather of the last three, days has given more snap to trade, and on the wholesale streets a good deal of activity is noticeable. The dry-Roods men talk more cheerfully, and on Commission row less complaint is heard of cull business. For several days past prices have fluctuated but little. Sugars are weak, coffees in strong iositIon and the hide market exhibits a little more activity at unchanged prices. Some very fine fruit In the way of orange3 and apples Is on the market, but the latter command such prices that it places them above purchase by the common people. On the other hand, never before were oranges and fine fruit selling .as low as at the present. In the vegetable line prices are controlled more than usual by the quality of the goods and the size of the order.

New York Evening Post. A new kind of character party that Is very amusing If entered into with spirit can be given without the aid of or trouble of getting up costumes. After the arrival of all the guests, some one pastes upon the back of each a written slip of paper telling who he is. His only knowledge of the ierson he represents is gained from the comments made by his friends. From these he must guess who he Is. As the opinions expressed by them are often contradictory, this is sometimes quite difficult. The names of well-known politicians, authors and musicians may be chosen. To complete ths evening, disguised shadows or silhouettes were- shown. Half the guests went behind a screen, and by means of hats, bonnets, brush-brooms, whiskers and various other "make-ups" attempted to disguise their shadows, the audience guessing who they were. Another amusing game that is not hackneyed is to test the eyes of guests, who go behind a screen, three or four at a time. The room must be darkened, and on thescreen must be cut the openings for four pairs of eyes, at the proper distance apart, and at the right height. The slits should be the exact shape of the eye, and cut so that not the least particle of the face will show. The person who is to guess who are tne owners of the eyes goes out of the room with the others, and Is brought in blindfolded. After the handkerchief Is removed he Is placed close to the screen, given a candle, and allowed a minute to inspect each pair of eyes and tell who they belong to. His guesses are recorded, and another set of people are sent out of the room. Another test Is to guess who people are from the hands and feet put through openings in the rcrcen. If one choose, simple prizes, grotesque or pretty, may be given to the person who makes the greatest number of correct guesses. M!ehl;nnM Bean Crop. Charlotte Republican. In looking over the agricultural reports of the State, no particular mention Is made of the bean crop as a staple. Which is surprising, as this promises to release our farmers to a great extent from their apparent bondage to the raising of wheat. It is true that last year did not produce much in the bean line, but the exceptional drouth will hardly be repeated at once. This country has been buying several million bushels of beans, the most of them from Germany, and every bushel might be raided in Michigan alone. A Grand Rapids firm imported 400.000 bushel3 alone. The McKlnley bill raised the tariff on bea:i3 to 40 cents per bushel, and gave the new crop a great impetus. Mr. Wilson, how-, ever, is so afraid' the farmers might make a dollar that his committee cut the tariff down to 20 cents ad valorem, about 25 cents per bushel at present prices. Still with favorable weather Michigan can raise several million dollars' worth of beans if she tries, and keep so much money at home. There is no necessity of purchasing a bean outside of Uncle Sam's domain. Root Crops Mean Work. PMlalelphia Inquirer. Many farmers .have learned that good crops of potatoes are profitable, when they are grown near enough to market to be disposed bf without too long carriage. The same consideration must be regarded In growing crops of beets, turnips, carrots, parsnips and other roots. They are all both bulky and heavy in proportion to their price. A good deal of hard work must be given for the money they bring. This is true also of potatoes. They are neither like the cheaply and easily harvested grain crops. The roots are worse than potatoes lr. this, that after they are out of the ground their tops have to be cut off. Potatoes can be dug by machinery, and only need hand labor in picking up and conveying to the market wagon. Well-grown root crops, however, yield so much more heavily than do potatoes that for those not afraid of hard work they are apt to pay very well. If the land Is good and the season favorable they will, even at a very low price, return a good sum an acre. A Hook That Will Sell. Kate Fiel.1'3 Washington.

WHEAT ON A DECLINE

Fluctuations, However, Narrow and the Market Uncertain. Cable Xews Was in the Interest of the Bears While Local Indications Are the Other Way. CHICAGO, Jan. 31. Th3 feature of the grain market to-day Was the extreme dullness and the narrow range of prices. Wheat went down under weak cables, reacted on a light buying, declined again on poor exports and closed c lower tfter fluctuating within a 8c range. May cc-n and May oats are unchanged and provisions slightly higher alfaround. Wheat began the day" with a tired feeling and at a decline of ic from yesterday's closing price for May, at 63c. Cables were unsatisfactory to the bulls. Liverpool was lower and private cablegrams were discouraging. Th?re was a rumor that the Austrian government was contemplating increasing the duty on flour to 7f. Advices were also received that Argentine wheat is Uelng offered freely on the other side. But with all the bearish news the market held up steadily. The receipts, in the Northwest were only moderate and the reports that millers supplies of wheat are getting low are attracting some attention. Stocks In country elevators, too, are decreasing,' which fact is being watched by speculators, thinking that the result of light deliveries at country elevators will soon be evident by smaller receipts at Duluth and Minneapolis. A little buying caused by an advance In cash wheat at Minneapolis sent prices up to yesterday's closing figures after May , had dropped Vac under the opening price. There was not sufilcient demand, however, to maintain the advance, and on the small export clearances another decline followed. Fluctuations were narrow, however, and May closed but c from the day's top figures, at 63'; e. May opened at 63c, declined c, advanced c, reacted Uc, advanced c and closed at eic. In corn only a moderate speculative trade was witnessed, the market covering a very narrow range, with oieratlons confined to room traders. A comparatively steady feeling existed, and the undertone was rather more firm. Receipts were slightly under the estimate, and helped to sustain prices. The market opened a little better on the bright weather, and sold off a fraction further. A good demand sprang up for May around 38Mc and the price rallied ,s3,4C. ruled steady and closed at the day's top figures. There was a steady market for oats with a fair trade. There was moderate selling by longs, but not enough to materially affect "prices. The available supply decreased 75,000 bu, which helped hold up price:;. May opened lower, advanced ic and closed at the top, at 29"Hc. Some strength was developed in the speculative market for- provisions early on a little support accorded to it by two prominent commission houses and a packing Institution, one of which was rather a free seller yesterday. Prices were unchanged at the opening, and then advanced steadily for a time, with only slight reactions. A fairly steady feeling prevailed later on an improvement In the demand for shipment and on the report that there would be a falling off in the receipts of live hogs In the near future. There was, however, very little doing, except a spurt of activity just before the end of the session, the market advancing to a moderate extent and closing near the top figures of the day. Compared with last night May pork is 12Uc higher. May laril higher and May ribs .07e higher. Estimated receipts for to-morrow are: Wheat. 110 cars: corn, 330 cars; oats, 93 cars; hogs, 29,00) head.

Magnificent weather and the fact that stocks are generallv small and mall orders therefore numerous gave to the dry-goods district the app3ar-anc-of increased activity. Prices, as a rule, fairly sustained, and in some cases show a hardening tendency, the latter condition confined to good specialties adapted to spring and summer wear and to novelties. Cotton goods are in fair demand, print cloths are quiet at unchangEd prices. Prints and printed fabrics are selling well at steady prices, ginghams and wash goods are firmly held. Dress good3 are working towards a higher level of prices, production having been moderate and stocks are running low. Woolen goods . of all kinds drag a little, but show some signs of recuperation. The jobbing trade is altogether more brisk on orders, particularly from the West, resident buyers also showing larger activity. Cotton. LIVERPOOL. Jan. 31. Cotton Moderate business at easier prices.
