The stock market was Irregular yesterday on a moderate volume of business. The deal ings in the main were professional and uninteresting. In the early trading a fair movement was noted, with general Improvement In prices, tho advances, however, being confined to fractions. Tobacco developed marked weakness early, in contrast to the general trend of prices, and lost IT. per cent. At the- low point covering purchases caused a rally of 2 per cent., to SIV2. The succeeding fluctuations in this stock were erratic within a narrow range, but the closing was near the best figure of the day. An ad- . vance of 1H per cent, in Manhattan was at- - tended by a revival of the now familiar talk cf. lmnenllnsr deals for control anrt nntlrlmt. ed extension privileges from the city authorities.--.. An Improvement of per cent. In New York, Chicago &. St. Louis seconds preferred had not been explained up to the closs Cf business. The general advance was checked at the expiration of the first hour ot trading by the execution of realizing orders, In which Sugar bore the brunt of the selling. The announcement of. a. special engagement of J3oo,uoo in gold, to be shipped to-day, cn Russian account, was on the theory that this shipment would be the forerunner of other exports. The market. however, diJ not rerpond to any noteworthy extent to their efforts. Tiie shipments mentioned, together with the ?mcoo forwarded Tuesday, is drawn from financial institutions, and does not count against the treasury gold reserve. Rene-wed purchases cf a speculative character gave a firmer tone to the market around midday and caused a slight appreciation In prices. General E'.ectric advanced about a point , on Boston purchases and some local pool buying. Late In the afternoon rumors from Wa.hingtcn, intimating that a message frcm the President in relation to the Cuban situation ml?lit be expected shortly, together with a slight stiffening in the rates for, money, exerted a depressing effect on prices," and a general selling movement started in. Special pressure was directed against Sugar, which dropped 2 per cent, in the face of the news of a further advance in the renned grades of the product. The grangers, Louisville & Nashville. General Rleetric and Chicago Gas were also vigorously attacked and receded about a point. Ihe closing was weak in tone, with the net changes fractionally ljwer. liuslness in bond. was on an Increased scale, aggregating f 1.333,000. Firmness prevailed until late in the day, when the market reacted In sympathy with the easier tone of the stock speculation. The Atchison issues were exceptionally weak, and yielded Pfe and 1 per cent., respectively, for the fours and seconds. Government bonds were neglected, but were steady on sa.'es of $3,000.

WHEAT IS UNSETTLED

FLUCTUATED "WITIITN A WIDE RANGE AND CLOSED AT A LOSS. Corn and Oats Advanced and Declined vrlth the Lender antl Pro--visions In Sympathy. OHICAGO. April 8. Wheat ran up and down the scale to-day like mercury in a thermometer plunged alternately Into boiling and freezing mixtures. It stood at below zero as the session was closing. The range of the May price was from 66Uc to 68c, with the lower of these its closing value, a loss of Mic compared with Monday night's figures. Corn nd oats were strong early with wheat and weak later in similarly sympathetic way. Even provisions, which made an Independent start, closed with all the early advance lost. Wheat was active from start to finish. The opening showed a loss of &t??ic compared with Monday's final figures, but the market gradually sold up lic, eased off l;c, changed some and closed firm. The early show of weakness was due to the rains In the winter wheat belt and th prospect of more in the same section, and then cables came in easier, first Liverpool advices showing Ud decline. New York reported foreigners quite free sellers there for the more deferred futures. Longs were inclined to realize and take profits, but the offerings were quite readily absorbed, tha buying apparently being led by a prominent operator with elevator and packing Interests, and the market turned and sold up sharply. Crop news rather favored holders and exports made a very fair shoeing, the total clearings for the two days aggregating W3,000 bu, and this bad tomething to do with the strong tone. Minneapolis wired that there was a much better aemand for flour and sales very heavy, and this helped the market. Second cables came 'iftMtd lower and offerings again Increased, elevator Interests selling the July freely, and this caused price to react. Northwestern receipts were larger than a week ago and exceeded those or the same date in 1893 by 140 cars. Corn moved In sympathy with wheat. The market was more active than for many days before, and looked for a long time -as If it would maintain advance of Ho or so; It Closed at Uc decline. May corn opened at 30ai0c. old at SOe, and from that down to aolBc at the close. The market for oats was active and a big business was transacted which was ot a very general nature and scattered. A firm feeling existed shortly after the opening. Influenced by the strength of wheat; as soon as wheat showed Indication of falling off oats began to decline and continued to do so to the end. Compared with the final quotations of Monday the cash market was firm. A good shipPing demand existed and all orders could not be attended to. May opened at 20c, sold up to 20c. declined to 19pl94o and closed with sellers at 19ic Trading in provisions was active during the greater part of the day and many buying orders were received from outside cities. The local crowd was Inclined to oppose the advance and proved right in the end, although during the greater portion of the day the market got from under their control. A large share of the local business was In the way of changing May . trades forward to July. The prices made In the first half hour were the highest of the day and closing rates were eubstantiaUy the lowest. Compared with. Monday's closing prices, pork is from 5c to V4c lower, and lard and ribs without any marked change. Kstimated receipts for to-morrow are: Wheat. 20 cars; corn, 220 cars; oats, 180 cars; hogs, 16.000 head. -Leading futures ranged as follows: . ., . Open., High- Low- ClosArtlcles. lng. est. est. Jng.

CHICAGO. April 8. Wheat for May at C6c doesn't need any sponsor.- It can tand fcr itself, and will do so at much higher prices unless conditions change. Outlook for the winter plant, every prospect for a late spring- in the spring districts, a hoavy cash demand for homo consumption with no Stocks at the eaboard'?or England to draw from, looks to usi like the wri'.inor .n the wall. .We can have no' panic at this irlrc without better supplies. On the advance we expect some realizing, but on all declines it Is a purchase, and without more favorable weather a purchase for big money. The posisbillties In corn are ho great it lcoks like good judgment to have some, and especially September. The stock row in cribs is for keeps at anything under s0o a bu In Chicago. We do not recommend purchases for a scalp, but as an investment It looks safe for good profits. Oats opened steady. Market was met by free selling by some of the fioor speculators who sold July and May fre;ly, breaking te market ftc. Shorts were principal buyers. Provisions opened stroiiz aac higher. Light receipts of hogs and hlgi2r pn.vs. together with advance in grain market caused a liberal demand. Selling by packers and local holdings at extreme advance caused reaction. The best selling during the day was ly the sellers of past week. Kev.oipis of bogs running light, we look on hog product is low.

The Industrial World to-morrow will say: The association or pool which was formed last week by the principal manufacturers of soft eteel 4r. the East will be far-reaching in Its effects, and already a quickening is noted 4n the iron mar--ket generally. The harmonious understanding arrived at by Southern furnaces has also resulted In stronger prices and increased inquiry. The sales of pig iron during the past week in this market aggregate not less than 25,000 10 30,000 tons, at about $11.75 for No. 2 foundry for Northern coke and ' $11.35 for the same grade of Southern. Some 15,000 tons of steel rods were contracted at $27.50, and 5,000 tens billets at $2021, which are now quoted at $21.23. Current report Is that a rod pool 4s to be formed, similar to that of billets. About 2.S00 tons of bridge plates for railroads were closed at $1.50, and 600 tons heavy O.

The volume cf business comes very near being the lowest In the annals of the market. With the possible exception of fine domestic fleece, the trend of prices for domestic stock Is downward. Manufacturers are doing quite the rational thing la their efforts to curtail production. In the lost analysis of business conditions in any period, "supply and demand" will always be found to determine the amount of traffic and the rates of merchandise. So far a? wool on these markets is concerned, we find an unusually :arge supply and a very meager demand.

A Delated Yonng Couple Dropped Into a I J rook to Evade a Train. Philadelphia Press. Perry Tasum and Miss White left. Newark by the 7:23P. m. train Saturday, on 'the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad, to go to Montclalr, to attend a party. By mistake they alighted at Glen Ridge and decided to walk tho intervening mile and a half, as another train was not due for an hour. They were obliged to cross a trestle about 150 fept long and ten or twelve feet high, over Toney brook. When they had nearly reached the center of the trestle, the sharp whistle of a locomotive was heard In front of them. It was the 7:53 eastbound train from Montclalr. As the train swiftly approached on the down grade, the youn couple stopped. The structure carries one track and the ties are about two feet lylde outside the rails. Tasum quickly made up his mind that there was only one way to escape and induced his companion to drop down to the shallow brook. She did o with hls assistance. Tasum dropped off the trestle just as the train swung around the curve and rushed by over their heads. At the place where Tasum and Miss White dropped off, there were only six inchefi of water and eighteen Inches of mud. Both sank nearly to their knees, and, unable to extricate themselves, they shouted for help. Their cries were heard by two men, who got boards and a stout rope from Moffat's mills and rescued tho unfortunate couple. Miss White's party dress and the young man's clothes' were a wrry sight. Tasum lost his hat and Miss White's dancing shoes floated down stream. They brushed the mud oft their garments and tock a trolley car back to Newark. EGYPT AXI TUB SOIDAV. England's Power Firmly Established in That Region. Harper's Weekly. The army of occupation usually consists of 'four battalions of infantry (lately reduced to three), one of dragoons and someengineers end artillery. These are stationed at Cairo and Alexandria, while the "Gyppies" are chiefly concentrated at Suakim and Wady-Halfa, on the frontier. Wady-Halfa, tho Ixase of the proposed expedition. Is situated at the second cataract of tha Nile. England was probably never more firmly fixed in power than at present. Early in the wlnt3r Nubar. the Grand Old Man of the East, retired from the premiership. An Armenian by birth, he had held office under the whole line of Khedives, and had been Prime Minister a large part of the time for the past thirty years. To b!m were due most of the reforms begun before the British occupation and during Its earlier and weaker years. It was he who established tho Mixed Tribunals, and reorganized the whole administration of Justice. During his last term, enfeebled by age and 111 health, he bad tried merely to act In harmony with "his masters," as he called tho English, and to prevent friction as far as possible. He has been succeeded by Mustapha Pasha Fehmy, who somo yean ago headed a short-lived Ministry. The Khedive, who at that time poHsesjHHl more power than at present, became displea.od with him. and demanded his resignation. Mustapha coolly answered that he must ask the consent of Lord Cromer. For years he ha-i been regarded as the one public man most subservient to England, and moat distasteful to the Khedlvo and his French and native supporters. As tho "British influence" becomes stronger, the Interference of the British agent. Lord Cromer, becomes less vlslole. Of late there have been appointed three English "Mustashas," or technical advisers. In the three more im:ortat ministries Finance, Justice and the Interior.

GRIKVAXCI1S OP X:ilA.S. Some of Ihe Tiling" That Made Them Rebel AgnlnMt Spain. Murat Halstead. In Review of Reviews. First, there are poured Into Cuba arrr. of officeholders. The Island has been hell to provide places for strangers, and men with, no permanent Interest in it are pUced to rule and to rob. The ur.auestionable truths demand the full force of the language of unqualified denunciation. Seventy-five per cent. of the holders of office In Cuba are Spanlards, anl the 25 per. cent, of Cubans have small places, and the charge Is that they, have to send money to Madrid to get them. The Spanish officeholders do not stay Kong, and the certainty that thir stay Is short increases their rapacity. Many of them stop less than a year, thousands only threa months, and they carry money home that Cubans should earn and spend In Cuba. This Spanish cfiiceholding business is certainly r.ot an industry that is profitable to the country: indeed, is harmful and hateful on both, sides of the sea. There Is no xnisgovernment anywhere more unfortunate, and close ly studied it Is as injurious to the Spaniard to the Cubans. It is like the carge of slavery that j-mote the master as well as the slave. Another feature is that the business hou.e In the cities of Cuba are tilled by Spanish clerks, and thousands of other places are taken by them at very low salaries, for th purpose cf securing by service in th militia for three years Immunity from conscription In Spain with five 3 t-ars in the army. This It the foundation of the force of 50.WO Spanish volunteers In Cuba, men who get no pay ar d are taxed in petty ways for ever recurring functions, and thus take the places young men of Cuba should fill at living salaries all this to serve Spain as a cheap garrison and to escape her recnlar armies. Cpon th revenues of Cula rests the burden of the cost of the ten years' war, and she-is taxed anl made the prey of monopolies that are oppressors, and thus out of the Industries that are not protected, but impoverished by bleeding and mulcting, the price of their own vain struggle for liberty Is taken. The Cuban have to pay the price of forging their own chains. Fancy the force with which. Taomas Jefferson would have written this In a declaration of independence. The volunteers of Cuba have deposed two captain penersis and bullied others. When the hour strikes for them to assert themselves they are the masters, and they know it. An attempt to disarm them would c-nd the government. Tney are not trusted now to hold the forts that command Havana, but it is through their fifty thousand bayonets that business may end the horrible warfare that ruins all Involved and that neither Spaniards nor Cubans have the ability to close. TALK An OUT HEED. Does .ot Curb His Tonjrue for roll " ties Sake. Washington Tost. "Why Reed should care to remain Jn politics If he fails to get the SL Louis nomination," observed a friend of the Speaker to the Post man yesterday, "is something that be alone knows. He has attained about all there is in public life except the presidencyReed is by far too positive a man to ba content with a Cabinet portfolio. To a man like him it is something to be the center of affairs at the head of the popular branch) cf Congress, but a Cabinet office Is negative, and not to be thought of In connection with) a man. of. the Speaker's activity of m'.nd and positive (convictions. Even In the Senate he would be out of place. The antiquated rules which govern matters In that body, the restrictive influence of the venerated: traditions which are there observed with such scrupulous regard, and the whole enervating atmosphere encompassing an original mind like Reod'a. would tend to stagnate and fossilize his activity. Now. the presidency suits him. He would prove cne of the most remarkable incumbents of that office since Jackson and Lincoln, and a worthy successor In eome respects to ITesident Cleveland. I'm inclined to think, however, that he would be Cleveland exaggerated, and for that reason would prove anything but a popular President. He Is too . free with hi comments on the weaknesses of those with whom he comes In contact, and too positive in his prejudices If he forma unfavorable opinions. "I have heard Reed make sarcastic remarks about men in the House who simply asked him to be recognized on tho floor, which, at such a time as this, conclusively proves that b!s prejudices are stronger than his JudRment, for of course -these things Invariably are repealed to the offended party. If anybody has an Idea that Reed is pining for the nomination, some thlnga which I know have happened in the Housa since the opening of this session convince ma of the contrary. I believe he wants to b President, but I know he Is not crawling on his stomach to anybody, if It comes to hlra he will acct'pt It as something to which he considers himself fairly entitled; If he is defeated he will be inclined to attribute it to the error of Republican Judgment and find consolation in that opinion. In all probability he will turn his back upon politic and' settle down to accumulate a fortune. Heed can make J20.0UO a yeaK practicing law in New York, and In changing his place cf residence to that city he will be still mora eligible for a nomination than in Maine should his ambition tend that way. If, aa I fay. he is defeated at St. Louis." r What Cathode Means. Scrlbner's Magazine. Let us first see what we mean by the tero cathode. If we should break the tiny. filament of an Edison Incandescent lmp at tho middle of the glowing- levp the llcht would go out. If now, we connect the u.o ends of the broken filament to the poles of a battery of a great many thousand voltaic cells,. such as are commonly used to rinj house bells, we rhould be able to light tha lamp again, not by incandescence, but by a feeble glow which pervades the whole bulb The ends of the broken filament would glow and the glow at one end of the filament would be different in aptearance from that of the other. The broken filament, by means of , which the electricat energy enters tha bulb, is called the anode, and the filament by means of which, in ordinary language, It leaves the bulb, is called the cathode. Now. the great peculiarity of the cathode rays is this they eei to be independent of the position cf the anode, and they stream out from the cathode like the beam of a searchlight, striking the walls of the Inclosing vessel. 4 Religion Ag-alnst Standard Time. Louisville Courier-Journal. A novel argument against standard time la made by Colonel W. W. Bruce, of Lexington. In a communication to "The Argonaut" Colonel Pruce says: "Believing in the Lord and trying to obey His commandments, I cannot believe in standard time. The Iord made the sun overhead at 12 o'clock (not PtanJard time, but the gooa Lord's time.) 1 don't think, as a Christian, I have the right to go against His will by adopting standard time. 1 asked my coolc the day the clock in the rear of the residence was changed 'why dinner was bo late, and she replied: 'Why, boss, it L only 2 o'clock 'But.' pays 1. 'that is standard) time, twenty-two minutes slow; I w-ant ntf meals on God's time.' " One Coaple. ( Chicago Tribune. "I understand, sir." said the young woman, in a cold, distant manner, "that you told somebody the other evening I had a dish face." "So you had. dear." replied the youns man. '"You had been feeding It with lc cream, you remember. Beside?, I was a little spooney myself." "I see. sir.". She said this because she saw, sir. When She Liked Them. The blonde had evidently made up her mind. "As for bifurcated garments " she began. "Yes?" said the brunette, expectantly. " I don't think much of them, as a general rule, but, of course, there are exceptions." "Of course." "I am net at all opposed to a bifurcated garment with a man in it." OPTICIANS. INSIA11APCUS-IND.
