One of the lowest records of business recently established was made yesterday on the New York Stock Exchange. There were two divergent movements in prices, and the anthracite coal stocks exerted a decided unfavorably sympathetic Influence on the general list. The market opened weak and generally lower, under the news of unsatisfactory London prices for American securities. The announcement of a reduction In both 'actual and posted rates of sterling exchange, however, and covering of short 3, soon checked the reactionary tendency and caused a general advance. The anthracite coalers had been conspicuously 'heavy, but also figured prominently In the rally, particularly Delaware & Hudson and New Jersey Central, which gained ln and 1 per cent., respectively. Business was In small volume, however, and confined to the leading properties. Trading after the first hour became Intensely dull, with prices showing a disposition to sag on realizations and bear sales. The expectation of more favorable comparisons of railroad earnings had previously strengthened the railway list and St. Paul improved a fraction, despite a decrease for the third week of J4S.S64and sales by tne arbitrage houses. Consolidated Gas rose 2 to 149. There waa no news bearing on the property aside from the re-election of the old board of directors, with two exceptions. Later bear operations against the anthracite coalers increased, forcibly, based on the expectation or unfavorable annual reports of the Delaware & Hudson and Lackawanna to be made public this week. The first mentioned dropped 2 and the last 2M per cent., while New Jersey Central suffered to the extent of 2 per cent. The The continued : unfavorable conditions In the anthracite coal trade and popular outlook for. business facilitated the work of the traders In depressing prices. The grangers, general railroad list and industrial stocks were sympathetically depressed fractionally. The closing was weak at general fractional net losses. Railway bonds were cutlet, but cenerallv well held, asids from the Hocking Valley issues, which soiu on on me depression in the bituminous coal trade. The nixes declined 2 per cent, to 70. The sales were J1.068.00U. Government bonds were strong, the new fours coupon rising to 123 on the purchase of a block of $100,000. The aggregate sales were $117,000. State securities were dull but generally higher on transactions of J10.0CO. The following tible. prepared by L. W. Louis.

A "hobo" camp set up within the walls of the police station was what several persons witnessed there yesterday morning. There was a choice assortment of men of the road. Some of them had been picked up as suspects in the Redmond murder case, others wero arrested as vagrants and one or two were locked up simply out of pity that they might have a place to stay out of the cold. One of the latter was a middle aged man who had an Injured leg which necessitated the use of a crutch in walking. He was a typical tramp and when he was put into the cell room he was searched for concealed weapons only. There was no thought of making a thorough search of him. Yesterday morning Turnkey Taffe's attention was attracted by a hammering i;ound within the cell roo.-n. lie went In to investigate. There were a half dozen men gathered about the cripple, and he was jabbing His crutch up and down in an old tomato can. Taffe asked him what he was doing. The fellow smiled and told him he was preparing to make coffee. He had some coffee in the can which ho was grinding with the use of the end of his crutch. Taffe allowed him to continue the operation and watched him prepare the refreshment. The can was filled with cold water and held over a gas jet until it boiled. Then the several members of the party drank from the can with evident relish. There were no "trimmings" such as sugar and cream, but they all seemed to enjoy It better than the coffee which was served earlier In the morning with their breakfast in tin cup. GOODS GO TO THE NURSE. A Dlsptnte Lasting Several Months Set tled in a. Trice of Time. Yesterday afternoon a jury in Magistrate Lockman's court decided in a minute and a half some questions which two women have been quarreling over and disputing at law about for several months. Thomas Lilly, who lately lived on Baltimore avenue, three miles north of Brlghtwood. was suffering in his last illness and desired the caro and nursing of a woman. He entered into a contract with Sarah A. Woods for such services. She agreed to take care of Mm and he agreed In the contract that all his personal property should become ners at nis death, she to pay the expense 01 nis nunai. Liny aieu and then his niece. Mary K. Strattan. appeared and demanded possession, of the goods. She h:id Mrs Woods arrested on a charge of malicious trespass, the offense consisting of the killing of two chickens left by Lilly. Mrs. Woods was acquitted and then Mrs. Strattan took forcible possession of the property in dispute, and carted it away from the house on Baltimore avenue. Tlie next step was the suit which was disposed of yesterday. Mrs. Woods brought :uii against aits, airattan to recover possession of the goods or their value in money, une defendant asked for a jury trial and the jury decided the case for the plaintiff in less than two minutes. Mrs. Strattan has also to answer to a .ciiarge of Obtaining goods by false pretense which is pending ygainst her in Magistrate Habich's court, growing out of her possession of the goods in dispute. The property consists of household goods, a horse and wagon, some chickens and a pig. "tien.' Jcnnlngs'si Damn go Suit.

After considerable time had elapsed it was decided to send the hoboes out of town and a detachment of police was sent to escort them westward. Jennings then filed suit for damages against all who had aViy part in the police raid. The P., 1). & K. Monthly Report. E. O.

WEAK WHEAT MARKET

LATE IllYINd PREVENTED A DEclim: of moiu: than i-2c All .Markets Dull and Heavy, Trlfliuj Changes in Prices Being Recorded at the Close. CHICAGO, Jan. 23. The opening of the wheat market was. at a silght advance, but the close at decline sines Saturday. The loss would perhaps have been somewhat greater if it had not been that some of the traders at almost the las moment decided it unwise to leave the floor short with a government report to be encountered tomorrow. Other markets were duU and heavy, but show only trifling changes in prices. Wheat opened very quietly. May, which closed Saturday at 80gc, started this morning at SG4c as the extreme limit, at which a few buyers were found. The slight Improvement here noticed was because of Md advance at Liverpool, together with the severe cold, which had suddenly supplanted the previously prevailing springlike weather. But the extreme dullness, coupled with the rather unsatisfactory tone of some of the statistical news, soon depressed the price to 7jc. The demand for cash wheat was entirely lacking, and in the absence of such demand the small world's shipments and domestic receipts and a considerable reduction In the visible supply were disregarded. A comparatively small decrease In the amount on ocean passage was regarded as an important bearish factor, and an increase of 190.000 bushels in Liverpool stocks for the week was also considered of much greater consequence than 249,000 bushels' decrease in the entire stock of the United Kingdom. The receipts were twenty-three cars, compared with eighty a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth received 185 cars, against 313 a week ago and 724 carloads on the corresponding day of last year. The world's shipments of wheat and flour were 4,509,000 bushels, compared with weekly requirements of 7.700,0'JO bushels. The visible decreased 1.514,600 bushels, compared with 4G5.000 bushels decrease a year ago. The export clearances from Atlantic ports Saturday were only 155.000 bushels. In wheat and flour together. The price here got down to 79Ui7lc, but firmed up again near the close, due to Indisposition among some few scalpers to go home short with the uncertainties of the Washington agricultural report hanging over them. The closing price was 7SU!i9c. Corn was inactive and nearly featureless. The price held about steady during the first hour, but when wheat got easier corn also sold off a fraction. The visible Increased M.OUO bushels, against an Increase of 2,71ti.OGO bushels last year. May opened a shade higher, at 21c. fluctuated within a Uc margin and closed easy at 23Tc. Oats were quiet, with nothing of any consequence to report of the market. Trading was rather limited and entirely of local scalping nature. Slight decline was noted, due to sympathy with wheat. May opened a shade higher; at HTlSc. sold at 18c. declined to 17 2-3c and closed at 1741 17?4c bid. Provisions were very plow. There was a momentary strength at the opening, on the moderate hog receipts, but the market soon flattened out, and for the greater part of the day prices tended downward. Near the close some covering by shorts produced a reaction, and most of the early loss was recovered. At the close May pork was 2'nc lower, at $S.02: May lard a shade lower, at $1.0712. and May ribs a shade lower, at $4.10. Estimated receipts to-morrow Wheat, 44 cars; corn, 430 cars; oats, 325 cars.
