LIGHT STOCK SALES

FOREIGNERS SHOW NEW 1XTEHEST 17t AMERICAN SECURITIES. Sugar A I taunt Negrleeted and Sales Smaller Than l'aal Loral Mar- , krti ot Euconraglng. At New York, yesterday, money on call waa easy at Wl per cent.; last loan, 1; closed at 1 per cent. . Prime mercantile paper, 2 per cent. Sterling exchange was strong, with actual business In bankers' bills at $4.894.89 for demand and 14.88(94.88 for sixty days; posted rates, $4.884.89 and $4.89(4.90; commercial bills, H874.87. Silver certificates 590c; no sales. Bar silver, Mexican dollars, 48c. At London, bar silver 27 3-16d per ounce. The total sales of stocks were 82,899 shares. Including Chicago Gas, 13,000; Manhattan, 3,400; Pacific Mail, 4,000; St. Paul, 7.500. The volume of business on the stock exchange was extremely light, but the tone of speculation was decidedly firmer, and prices advanced steadily from the opening to che close, with only occasional slight reactions, due to the taking of profits of the Improvement. The strength of the market was especially remarkable. In view of the moderate buying anl the absence of news which might influence speculative values. The firmness of American securities on the London Stock Exchange was a large factor in the upward movement, and there was good buying for the foreign account. The local trading was more widely distributed than usual, and the investment stocks were traded In more actively than of late, the Vanderbilt group coming for a fair share of attention. Less than 13,000 shares of the greater stocks were dealt in, of which more than one-half was St. Paul, and the buying In them was mainly to cover short contracts, the bears being apparently of the opinion that the passage of the pooling bill is practically assured. The pool in Chicago Gas has been dissolved, and, contrary to expectations, the announcement of the fact was followed by a sharp advance in the stock, which was well maintained at the close. During the first quarter of an hour of business not a share of sugar was disposed of, which is a notable circumstance inasmuch as this is fenerally the leader of the market, he total sales of the stock were only 7,700 hares, and the fluctuations were confined Within a limit of per cent, with a net decline of M per cent. Atchison stock and bonds were given a temporary activity by , reason of the renewal of the discussion of the reorganization problem In London and on this side and traders seem to take a more hopeful view of the situation, judging by the pretty good buying in these securities, resulting in gains all around. The advance in the general list in the day's transactions ranged from to 2 per cent., the atter in St. Paul preferred, 2 in Illinois Central, 1 in Lake Erie & Western preferred, 1 In PittBburg, Cleveland, Cincinnati & St. mis preferred. y in B. & O. Some few chares show losses), the heaviest being 1 per cent, in Cordage preferred. The market closed strong. The transactions in the bond market were characterized by considerable animation and strength. The Atchison issues were the feature of the dealings and on sales of $301,000 the fours sold up 1 to 67, and closed within Y of the highest. The seconds, while less active also developed strength and sold up 1 per cent, to 20V4 and retained the entire improvement. The total sales for the day were $1,468,000.

The weather of the last day or two has been so much more the usual temporature of the winter months In 'Indiana that it has Improved trade, especially on Commission row. A number of carloads of oranges are on the market, but frozen stock sella at $3.50 pet barrel. A considerable per cent, of the cabbages offered has been frozen and this cuts into the revenue from business at this season .tf the year. Poultry rules easy. . Eggs are scarce and unchanged. Coffees are in strong position at the recent advances. Provisions are In better request and prices steady at the revision of Monday. The seed market is showing more activity and prices weak.

SUBWAYS OF PARIS. They Are Broad and HIgrh, rnd Jlve Many Business Facilities. Boston Record. , The main sewers are eleven feet high and sixteen feet broad and are constructed of solid masonry covered with cement. Workmen are constantly working on them and the water only rises to the sidewalks after a very heavy rainfall. The sewers contain two water mains, as well as telegraph and telephone wires and tubes for compressed air. This ingenious system sprang from another embodied in a contract granted in 1881 by the municipal council of Paris to the Pneumatic Clock Company, who were given permission to place their tubes in the sewers on condition that they erected a given number of clocks In the public places of the city and undertook to keep them to the time furnished daily at noon by the observatory. The clocks are worked from a central office by the compressed air and constitute a great public convenience. After twenty-five years from the date of the contract they will . become the property of the city. As a sot-off the company received a concession to establish and keep their pipes in "the sewers for fifty years 'for the purpose of distributing compressed air as a motive power throughout the city. A very wide use is made of so advantageous a system, for it obviates the purchase of an engine, saves space, time and trouble. All that is needed is a meter and the proper connections with the compressed air tube, then a turn of the tap and the machinery is In motion. The sewers are also used to accommodate the pneumatic tubes by means of which the carte telegrams are conveyed from one end of the city to the other. The convenience . of having the telephone wires in the sewers is very great. There are thousands of miles of these, connecting 244 postoffices as well as hundreds of private subscribers in every part of the city. Any subscriber in any part of Paris may be heard with ease in the general postoffice in London, and a whisper can be heard over the telephorie in Paris, with the result that the hard swearing that goes on over the London telephones is almost unknown. The sluice carriage is run along the ledges of the sewers, while a tongue scrapes the side and bottom clean. The sewers are lighted with lamps, and not only is every thoroughfare inscribed on enamel plates, but every house which is connected with the sewer is also numbered. As many as fifty tourists a day go down the sowers in the tourist season to ride in . the tourist car or sail in the gondola. The Paris council has decided upon adopting the system of drainage which is in vogue in English towns. They are to spend $13,000,000 in adapting the sewers to take all the sewage which at the present time is stored in cesspools. They are also going to spend 10,000,000 francs more in improving the water supply and the means of distributing it. One of the sewers passes under the river by means of a syphon 170 yards long and three feet in diameter. This is kept clean by inserting a wooden ball on the left bank of the Seine which almost exactly fills the tube. The pressure of the steam carries the ball down, and then, being of lighter specific gravity, it rushes to the surface, carrying before it everything that may have settled in the syphon. AT OFFICIAL RECEPTIOXS. Queer People Who Find Their Way Into the Homes of Public Men. New York Tribune. The trials of. the women in public life in Washington begin with the official receptions of the winter. From the 1st of January until Ash Wednesday there is an Incessant demand made on the time and patience of the wives of public men. To be successful in the place she is called to fill a woman must possess unfailing good nature and be endowed otherwise with as many gifts as the gods gave, Pandora. There are any number of queer people who attend the Cabinet receptions from curiosity, expect to be entertained, and give utterance to very disagreeable gossip if they feel neglected. At one of the recent receptions appeared an energetic old woman, note book in hand, and with that expression of grim determination on her face peculiar to the professional tourist. One of the ladies receiving asked with gracious courtesv if she would have a cup of tea. "No, indeed." said the dame of the note book. "I ain't here for that purpose." Then, seeing an amused and Inquiring expression on the face of her would-be entertainer, she added: "You see. I'm doin' the parlors, the pictures and the ladies' clothes now, but when I finish and go to the dining room I may. take a cup of tea if you're still agreeable. You see." she continued confidentially, "I promised to write my girls at home all about what I see in Washington, and so I'm takin' notes." This story is discounted by that of a young woman who. when she was receiving at the house of one of the secretaries, asked a guest if she could pour a cup of tea for her. "No." said the woman, "no tea; but I would be much obliged for a chop." The spirit in which an aged gentleman asked for some fruit was quite a different one. "I don't drink tea," said he to the bewitching bud behind the samovar. "The fact is, I'm jest eat up with dyspepsia, but I'd be much obliged if you'd get me a bunch of Malaga grapes; they agree with me splendid." It is not an infrequent thing for provincial guests to ask for the recipe for a cake or salad they find on the table. A c-ever woman In one of the former cabinets kept a number of recipes copied from a reliable cook book which she dispensed with liberal hand. In fact, there is no end to the absurd and impertinent demands made by people who imagine that because a man is in public life they are privileged to make themselves especially obnoxious to him and his family. Just after breakfast the day after her weekly reception the wife of a Senator received the card of a woman unknown to her. On going downstairs she was much amused to discover that her eerly caller had come for the pattern of the Paris gown the hostess had worn the day before.

OATS WERE LEADERS

BEARS RAIDED THE MARKET AXD DEPRESSED THE PRICE 1-2C. Without Support Wheat Went Off l-4o and Corn Slumped 3-8 c with Bio Apparent Reason. CHICAGO, Jan. 17. The grain markets were weak in the end after a day spent in struggling against the influence of depression from lack of business. The raiding of the oats market of the day before was continued and was more successful to-day, resulting in a decline of c. Wheat, with every inducement to go higher, declined c, and corn, without anything bearish in the immediate outlook, also sold off c. Provisions were independent of the course of grain and made advances. Wheat opened quiet and steady at about the closing price of the day before and held within c of 5c per bushel all forenoon. Trade was of the dullest kind. The primary market receipts were a little larger than on. the corresponding day of the week before, but were very little more than onehalf of the quantity received on the similar day of last year. Chicago inspected into store 50 carloads, as compared with 130 cars a year ago. Minneapolis reported receipts of 135 and Duluth 30 cars, or 165 together, compared with 207 a week ago and 284 on the same day last year. The clearances from the Atlantic ports in wheat and flour amounted to 523,0u0 bu. The foreign markets were in the main firm. The market finally turned weak during the last hour and May broke to 57(&,57c split. The stubbornness with which the market refused to advance discouraged holders and the liquidation carried prices down. May closed at 67c. The corn market was rather firm for a short time near the opening but became heavy later and quite weak about fortyfive minutes from the close of the session. The receipts were even smaller than the moderate number of cars estimated yesterday. Busines was dull on the average. The oats market was the only apparent weakening factor. May opened at 47c, sold as high as 4748c, dropped later to 47c and at the close was at 47c. The oats market absorbed the business. The activity and slump in prices was even greater than yesterday. May sold from 30c to 30c and closed at 30c bid. Yesterday the market closed at 3030c. Updyke, Balflwin-Farnum and Irwin-Green headed the selling. The provision market recovered somewhat from yesterday's great run of hogs. To-day, although the hog receipts were still heavy, numbering 47,000, as against 45,000 estimated, the market opened firm at a little improvement on yesterday's closing prices. It was supposed that much of the day's buying, which occasioned the firmer feeling which prevailed, was due to the covering of short lines for account of Western packers. May pork closed 17c higher. Lard and ribs closed at the top of the day's range and each at 78c improvement for the day. The leading futures ranged as follows: Open- High Low- Clos Articles. ing. est. est. ing.
