There was a reaction from the severe cledenresslon of Friday on the Stock Exchange Saturday. At the opening prices were generally a fraction higher, but the improved lono of speculation was not of long duration Rnd before the end of the first quarter of an hour the market had become dull and lost all Its tone. The annual report of the Northwest railroad was made public about this time, showing a deficit of $1.656,9y8 against a Burplus of $880,154 for the year 1893. This led to a selling movement in that stock which was quickly communicated to the rest of the active list and prices continued to decline to the close, the final wales being at or near the lowest figures of the day. Northwest led. in the transactions, cpon'ng V higher, advancing V. then breaking and closing li below Friday's last price. Sucrar mnrl a nt lr.nu nf m The trading interest of the list was light. Declines were established In Tobacco preferred, 1; Pittsburg, C, C. & St. Louis, Z per cent, on a sale of 100 shares. , On the week the stock market has been dull, the eales , aggregating only 717,800 bhares. The tendency in the main was downward, prices beginning to sag the very first day in the week, the depression being largely due to the delay in announcing the government bond Issue. Other factors in the heaviness of .speculation were the defeat of the Union Faciflo funding bill in the House of Representatives and the unfavorable statements of earnings of Western roads. xjuuuuii was a seiier 01 an ine international tecuties, notably Union Pacific, which broke 2 per cent., with subsequent recovery of iya. Distilling was a notable exception to the general market at the opening, being strong at an advance of i on reports that President Greenhut would be deposed , from the receivership of the compuny and .making a further rise, on the accomplishment of the prophesy. The defeat of the Springer bill in the House assisted to depress prices slightly, but the street had largely discounted the result. Late Friday afternoon the market ; received a wetback, general disappointment being felt that the government loan should he only $65,000,000, and .also by reason of the fact that government could not market the bonds at a price less than 3. per cent, when per cent, 'was' the highest figure which had been spoken of during the negotiations. The Cordage shares continued their downward career and sales were made at the lowest figures ever touched. The principal changes on. the week are : Declines Cord- ' age guaranteed, 3; Cordage, preferred, 2; Chicago Gas, Northwest - and Norfolk & Western, 2V4, and Lead and Susquehanna & Western. Dreferred. 2,-. : Advances Pittsburg, C. C. & St. Louis, preferred, 254; St. Paul &Omaha, preferred, Rational Starch, first preferred, and Alton & Terrs Haute. 2.

Henry Clews, of Now York, in his ref view of operations in Wall etreet last week, ays: "Wall street remains oult'e steady under the excitements Hnd the up. and da.vns of the futile attempts at financial letfUiaJon. It realises the fact that there can be no pos- . Bible failure of the ability of the trt-asury to borrow what joM it need-, and r-t;ir-is the source and methods by w'Meh H nij be obtained as a comparatively eec-onlarv matter that need expire no very Kenous concern. One cheering fcuture f th-f Ittt ft-w day has been the tinnxpect'd r-v.vul o? interest in our securities i-broau.

reflection of a surface knowledge of our condition. It Is lar-4-iiy the result of transient incidents in our affairs, su.-h hs the reconstruction of long insolvent corporalicns and, still more consipioaous, the re6Uts of a political struggle upon very sensitive monetary issues. Investors have naturally construed thee incident J at t-iclr worst possible significance, and the exchange and the press have reflected that surface sentiment. "The 'hauf finance,' of London, however, who take little note of speculative currents on'Change. view our affairs from a very different standpoint. They understand the genius of our people, they comprehend our controlling forces, they watch and intelligently weigh the temporay drifts of our politics, they know how to strike a balance between what is permanently sound and trustworthy in our politics and what Is the transient product of popular ignorance and fanaticism; they understand exactly how far the Republic may be safely trusted and how far not. These ultimate arbiters of the world's finance such as the Rothschilds and the Morgans have pronounced their Judgment upon our financial situation, by declaring that the United States may be as safely trusted as any other national borrower for whatever amount they may want. It is this verdict by the highest Judges of our credit that accounts for the change of estimate on American investments that has Just come over the more mercurial London Stock Exchange. This rating established by the highest European lenders carries more value as a contribution towards the repair of our financial embarrrasments than first impressions have credited to, it."

STEADY GKAIN TRADE

WHEAT BECOMES FIRMER AT CHICAGO AD CLOSED 1-4C HIGHER. Other Cereals Were Depressed, and Provisions Fell OCA on Heavy Receipts of Hogs at the Yard. CHICAGO. Feb. 9. Wheat was generally steady on better foreign markets. Light exports for the week caused a moderate midsession slump, but a reaction,' followed. May closing i4c higher. May corn closed ic lower. May oats ',ic lower and provisions at declines. Wheat started firm under the Influence of encouraging cablegrams, but weakened on the small export clearances and the apparently slow rate of the decrease In the heavy stocks in sight. Chicago received only four cars to-day, and Minneapolis and Duluth got 179. The primary market receipts today were 138,000 bushels, against 416,000 on the corresponding day of the year before. The week's exports of wheat and flour from both coasts amounted to 2,220,201 bushels, against 2.4S3.000 on the week previous. Export clearances of wheat and flour for twenty-four hours summed up 194,000 bushels. Guesses on the probable amount of the decrease in the visible this week run from 750,000 to 1,000,000 bushels. Bull3 had rather the best of It for a hait" hour or so, after which the short sellers had most Influence for an hour and a half, but in the final hour of the session the buying orders were again in excess of those to sell, which was the latest phase of the trading. May opened at C3?4c and 533453c, against yesterday's closing price of 55ij'S65?4c. After keeping firm around 53c and 53c for a half hour it gradually sagged vtntll.lt was offered at 531-ic, but finally became in better request, and rose again to 5353c, with Z3.c bid at the close. The corn market was weak. It started with yesterday's closing price bid for May, and at a sale or two at c higher, but during the greater part of the remainder of the session the price was generally on the down grade. Toward the end, influenced by the closing strength in wheat, a rauly occurred, and the wind-up was at a recovery of c from the bottom of the day's range. May started at from 45c to 45i-ec, worked gradually down to 44V4c. and closed with trading at 4444?4c. Business in the pit was good, with some good speculative buying for long account. Oats met with a fair sale for, a Saturday, and after ruling easier during the earlier part of the session recovered somewhat, and closed but a small faction under the last price yesterday. Scalpers were reported to have caused the early weakness by raiding the market, helped rally prices later with taking back some of their early disposals. The weaker cash market governed the early speculative crowd to some extent. May started at 29V4c, sold up to 294c, back to 28"4c, and closed at 29294c. The provision market started weak, and continued heavy for the whole of the session. The hog receipts, which had been estimated yesterday at 16,000, numbered 21,000, and 180,000 are expected .in all during the next week. The packers were sellers, Armour & Co. being named as leading in that action. John Cudahy wasva1&o named as a fairly liberal seller. Prices at the close showed declines of 15c in pork and .074e each in lard and ribs. Estimated receipts forv Monday: Wheat, 10 cars; corn, 80 cars; oats, 50 cars: hogs, 44,000 head.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9. The total receipts of cattle for this week were slightly in excess of 41,000, as against 37,473 last week and 49,753 a year ago. The demand was light and values without noteworthy change. Dres.ced beef and shipping steers were quoted from $3.40 to $5.60, and cows and bulls from $1.45 to $3.85. l Yesterday's advance in hogs was all wiped out very soon after the opening of trade this morning, and later in tho forenoon it was difficult to find buyers who were willing to pay within 152uc of that day's prices. The close was very bad, and a good many hogs were left in sellers' hands. At the close $4.45 was regarded as about the top of the market. Sales were slow and the bulk of them below $4.40. The sudden reaction in the market was due to the prospect of largely increased arrivals for next week, the recent advance toeing depended upon to stimulate buying among country shippers. Shep.p receipts were large for the last day of the week. There was an active and firm market at Friday's advance, or at $2.75fi4.40 for common to extra sheep, and at $3.55.25 for lambs.

(From Sunday's Second Edition.) Sailors HanKine in the Rlging-. NEW YORK. Feb. 9. The life-saving crew from the Lone Hill station, on the great south beach opposite Eastport, L. I., were out at daybreak to-day and down the beach in the teeth of the storm to make one more attempt to reach the men lashed and trozen in the rigging of the unknown wrecked schooner. nen the life savers left at dark, seven men were still hanging in the rigging. As tho icy wind had not abated, and as the waves were washing over the grounded Ice-locked wreck, the life savers felt that the men surely must be dead. Captain Baker fixed his glass on the ice-draped rigging of the wreck. The seven forms still hung there, not one having fallen during the night. But three of tne men were hanging head down. Evidently they had lashed tnelr legs when they went up in the rigging to escape the fury of the deck. During the night they had died, and their fingers relaxing, their bodies had fallen to hang by tne knees. The lite savers tried to launch the lifeboat. But the shore Ice and the surf made that effort vain. A line was then tired into the rigging. There it hung with a certainty of life to those who could reach It, and it was within a few feet of each of the five upright figures. Soon the life savers saw one of the men stirr.ng. He painfully and slowly disentangled himself from the lashings and started over towards the line. He took a few steps downward, paused, hesitated, almost feu and climbed back to the surer supports he had left. In a few moments another man began to work himself loose,, and succeeding, set out in a slow, stilt fashion that was painful to see. He got a little further down than the first man, and then he too, stopped. He almost lost his balance, regained his hold, remounted and wrapped himself In the cords of the rigging in the place he had left. The life savers were in despair. It was clear that the men in the rigging were too weak, too stiff, too nearly frozen to do anything more than fasten a line, if it fell actors their bodies. So the cannon was fired again and again, the line flew into the rigging near enough for either of the mep to have reached had it gone so near in tho first trial. But neither of the two stirred this time. Captain Baker could see their eyes turned toward the chore, but their blackened faces were expressionless. ' The last lire was fired about midday and from that time until dark the life savers sheltered by the mounds of ice, watched and tried to think of some way of reaching the schooner. At dark they went back to their station rgaln. The lest gleam of day showed the sivtn figures still hanging, three head downward, four upright and with enough 1 fe in them to make the release from their horrible living tomb a matter of hours. At 7 o'clock this evening a Merritt wrecker arrived off the coast rnd began to run backwards and forwards off tho wreck Her lights can be seen from the shore. She ran in toward the wreck from all directions and then backed away. She was evidently feeling her way and touching bottom each time. The life savers think she can reach the wreck. If she waits until high tide, it is thought the Merritt boat can run close to the wreck. Union Station Burned. ST. JOSEPH. Mo., Feb. 9. The Union Station, which was used by all the railways entering the city, was laid in ruins by fire to-night, j The I03S will reach $400,000. The fire was discovered at 8:30 in the United States express department of the station. At first the blaze was so small it was supposed It was not necessary to call out the department, but in this case the delay was fatal. The flames worked their way through the floor into the Union Depot Hotel on the floors above, and in an hour the structure was a mass of ruins. The hotel, which occupied the two upper stories and the south end of the structure, was crowded with guests, and a number of them had narrow escapes. Major J. B. Laughlin, who conducted the hotel, loses $25,000. The Union Station was completed and opened May 1, 18S2. and cost $250,000. The total amount cf insurance is $40,000. The guests at the hotel lost $10,000. The reaL loss must remain a matter of conjecture for some time, that suffered by the railway and express companies on baggage, etc., being difficult to estimate. The railroads entering the depot and who are the losers are: The Hannibal & St. Joe, the Missouri Pacific, the St. Joseph & Grand Island, the Kansas City, St. Joseph & Council Bluffs, the St. Joseph & Des Moines, the Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific, the Burlington & Missouri River, the Union Pacific and the Atchlson.Topeka & Santa Fe. Many pouches of mall were also consumed, thus greatly adding to the loss. Among the hundreds of trunks burned were all of those belonging to the Lewis Morrison Faust theatrical company, containing valuable dresses and stage paraphernalia. But few of the guests saved any of their personal effects. Five People Burned. ARDMORE. I. T.. Feb. 9. News was brought to-night from Bayou, fourteen miles southwest of here, of what appears to be the murder of the family of M. M. Tucker, consisting of himself, wife and three children. The skeletons of the victims were found In the ruins of their home, which had evidently been set afire to cover up the crime of roberry and murder. The murder, if such it was. was committed Wednesday night, but was not discovered till to-day. Fred Wilson, who had often threatened the dead man, and has now disappeared, is suspected. The Tuckers, father, mother and three children, two girls, aged, respectively, eight and twelve years, and a boy aged six. lived on a small farm in a cabin two miles from any other habitation. Their sudden falling out In their usual intercourse with neighboring, farmer- caused. &a lve liga

tion to be made. On the spot where ths home had stood nothing remained but blackened cinders. In them were the charred bones of the five victims. The theory of accidental fire is scouted, and robbery and murder, with the subsequent use of the torch to cover up the crime, seems the most probable. Another Thrilling Experience. ANDERSON, Ind.. Feb. 9. lius Duncan, a well-known farmer, four miles north of this city, about 3 o'clock this morning was awakened by stifling smoke that was filling his room. Springing from his bed Mr. Duncan rushed to the room which was occupied by his children to find it a mass of flames and two of the little ones rendered unconscious by the heat and smoke. Ths father had barely time to Either them in his arms and run out when the lixr gave way. Ono of the children was badly burnel and its recovery is doubtful. Mrs. Duncan escaped with her night clothing on fire, and her mother, who occupied an adjoining room, was compelled to Jump from the window, a distance of twelve feet, alighting uninjured. The house was destroyed with its contents, making a loss of about $4,000, with no insurance. The family was taken to an adjoining farmhouse, but not before they had suffered intensely from ih cold. The fire was occasioned by an overheated chimney. The Superintendent Tipples. EVANSVILLE. Ind.. Feb. 9.-The legislative committee visited the Southern Hos-pital for Insane at this point this morning and began its Investigation of the management of the institution. An expert accountant has been hired by the committee and will go through all the books of the hospital- The first thing done was to visit the variousi wards, and all was found to be In excellent condition. After dinner the taking of testimony was begun, but nothing of a sensational character developed further that that Superintendent Thomas was made to admit that ho had probably Imbibed more freely than he should for a man occupying the responsible position that he does. Nothing beyond his own testimony was elicited on the subject.. The investigation is hardly well under way yet, and part of the committee will probably remain over part of next week. The investigation was resumed at 9 o'clock to-night with Dr. Wertz, a former trustee, on the stand. Taken Off in Safety. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., .Feb. 9. Th schooners Emma, Ann' Stevens and Woolsey, of New York, which anchored In Little Egg Harbor Inlet for safety on Thursday, were driven ashore to-day on Little Beach. Captain Rider and crew, of the Little Beach station, shot a line over one of the vessels, and the men were taken oft in safety. , The crew of the other schooner walked ashore on the Ice, pulling their small boat behind them. Captain Rider believes that both vessels will be a total wreck. Th sloop Flash, of New York, put Into Little Egg Harbor to-day for shelter, and to-night Is reported drifting up and down the inlet. The crews of the Little Beach, Short Beach, and Middle Beach stations have been unable to render the Flash any assistance up to 11 , o'clock. A terrible storm is prevailing outside. The storm In Atlantic county outrivals the famous blizzard of several years ago, both In severity and duration. Sew "Winter Resort. TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 9.

Pythlans Will ot Be Assessed. " NASHVILLE, Tenn.. Feb. 9. R. L. C. White, grand keeper of records and seals. Knights of Pythias, In a communication to the American states that the report that "an assessment of $1 on -each Pythian in the United States would be levied to build a Pythian sanitarium at Hot Springs. Ark., is incorrect and the Supreme Lodge r as not authorized such an assessment. The Supreme Lodge granted the Grand Lodge of Arkansas permission to solicit voluntary subscriptions to erect a sanitarium, but no assessment was levied and it Is doubtful whether the Supreme Lodge could order an risessrtnt upon individual members.
