Silver certificates, 6-i'.;ift61?ic; bar silver, 61!;c; Mexican dollars closed at DGc. At London bar silver closed at 2Sd per ounce. Total sales of stocks yesterday were 117,77S shares, including the following: American Su?rar, LMf-OO; Hurllngton, J.U'JO; Lake Shore. 4.00; Louisville & Nashville. 3,100; Manhattan Consolidated, 8,2i; Nortli western, 4.4; Omaha, 3.500; Leading, 3.H0; St. I'aul. 2.),SfO; New Jersey Central, H,4oO. The reason for the recent sensational advances in Lake Shore on the New York exchange was disclosed yesterday .hen the announcement was made in Wall street that the directors of the company had authorized an issue of JW.OuO.fXO of 32 per cent, one-hundred-year gold bonds, the proceeds to be used fcr the retirement of the present bonded debt as It matures in the next few years or in advance of maturity as arrangements may be made with the holders. Coupled with thl.4 was an announcement that tho directors had accepted an offer from a well-known banking house for the entire issue at K'l'U. The bonds for tho retirement of which provision as thus made amount in the aggregate to $I3.02,000; $2,7'.5.Ct'Q of which mature April 1. lS; $1.3.",.0ijO on April 1. lSW; 514.4 -10.000' on July 1, R',, and $24.Gf2.000 on Feb. 1. 1?03. It is calculated that the saving in annual interest charges by the completion of the refunding will amount to a million and a half of dollars, from which the stock will benefit. This is said to be the largest transaction in railroad bonds that has ever been made in this country, and with one exception it is said to ! the highest price paid for American railroad bonds. The market opened with a show of strength, but yielded leforo long to tho effect of a marked depression in New Jersey Central, which was sold doAii 2 ioints on continued uneasiness as to the financial status of Lehigh & Wilkesbarre. its subsidiary coal company. Manhattan was also depressed on the falling oft of the earnings and tho belief that tho dividend rate would be reduced. The fact that tho directors of the road were in session imparted some nervousness to the dealings and the stock fell -h per cent. London also was seeling fct. Paul. Louisville & Nashville and few of tho low-grade shares. The South African situation hid superseded the Cretan trouble as a depressing influence there, exerted immediately on mining shares and rejected on the general market. The center of depression thus formed in this market spread through the general railway list, and Sugar and Chicago Gas were marked down a fraction in sympathy. The announcement of the Burlington statement for January, showing a surplus after charges of $117.6u, against a deficit last year of $s7,7v. was regarded as favorable, although attained at the expense of a heavy cut in operating expenses, and checked the decline. An advance set in on the strength of this statement, which continued during the day. with the exception of a slight reaction on profit taking just lefore the announcement of the I.ake Shore bonding ojteration and another just before the close, from the same cause. The strength imparted by the news of the Lake Shore project permeated the whole market, ami tho subsequent prices were in many cases the best of the day. Lake Shore Itself advanced 4'h. to 1T1' but reacted to at the close. "The Vafiderhilt properties were generajly strong in sympathy and trains from a fraction to lu, the latter !n Michigan Central and C, cT, C. v St. 1 Omaha was up l'i, and displayed relatively more activitv than any other anderbilt stock. The rise in Rurllngton equaled 1U. tho stock touching 77. Northwest was up V2, Sugar 1. Chicago Gas 1. Consolidated Gas 1. and Spirits preferred, in which the buying was very pronounced, l'i. the bonds of this property also showing strength. Manhattan gained V. .and New Jorjs'' Central l4. Ilrooklyn Vnlon Gas rose 3. but later lost 1 in face of the contract with the I'.rooklvn authorities for a progressive reduction "in the price of gas for five years. There were some fractional reactions near the close, but t heclose was generally firm, with gains of a fraction as a rule on the day. The bond market continues to furnish striking evidence of the plethora of fund at New York, for which there Is practically no demand, owing to the congested stock speculation. The transactions in the hlhgrade mortgages are limited only to tho amount offered, and investors aro more disposed to take blocks of lower-grade issues, promising a reasonable return on a revival of speculative activity. Dealings in miscellaneous securities continue heavy at advancing prices, with municiiMl liens in most request. The return of considerable amounts of mlddle-grado tionds. attracted by high prices prevalent here, has no appreciable effect on values which continue to tend upward under the influence of investment purchases for domestic and foreign account. Issues which have been practically neglected for a long time now vio jn point of animation with the recognized active securities in consequence of the widespread demand for properties by banks and individual capitalists seeking employment for their surplus bonds. The Jyike Shore lien was conspicuous, owing to the announcement of the funding arrangement. The second consols advanced 3 and second divisional sevens 1 per cent. There were a few weak spots noted, but the general undertone was strong, with many issues recording substantial gains, including l.vansvillo Terre Haute firsts. 2; New Kngland sevens and American Spirit sixes Vty. Ohio & Mississippi seconds. 14, and Tcnnesseo Coal firsts. Urimlngham division, and Standard Ropo income 1 per cent. Sales were Jl.ST.Ctn).

Ilaln Interfered with Traile, nnd o Importnnt Clinnges. On the wholesale Ftreets and on Commission row yesterday trade was hardly as active as on Monday, the rain In some measure being the cause. Rut prices all along tho line carried a stronger tone. Staple groceries, especially sugars an.l coffees, rule firm at recent advances. Provisions are moving freely and prices firm. The hid? market Is rather quift at unchanged prices, produce men are doing a large business; receipts of eggs large and prices weak at quotations.

QUICKCHANGE IN WHEAT

RI LLS TOOK FRlfiHT AFTER 1IAVl.G MARKET UNDER CONTROL. 3Inj Fntnres Held a Small Fraction of the Early Advance, with Other Markets Dull and Tendinis Downward, CHICAGO. March 2.-Tho local wheat market had its tail thoroughly twisted by St. Louis to-day. The sharp bulge and equally sharp break there were closely followed here, tho May option closing at c advance after selling it cent above that figure, the session being the liveliest seen in somo time. All the other pits were very dull, corn and oats closing at substantially unchanged figures and provisions at ZQ?ic decline. Russian crop damage to wheat was a new string the bulls had to play on when business In the pit commenced. They twanged on it to so much advantage that in an hour tho price of May wheat had advanced lc Ier bushel. Whether inspired by tho example of Chicago, or because the Russian damage was the stimulus at Liverpool, wheat, which opened thre at a modest gain of from Uo to was l&d higher for the day when next heard from. That market made its influence decidedly felt all day. May wheat, which closed yesterday at 75UT o&c. opened to-day at 75;'Q75,2Ct and sold at itTfio before an hour had gone by. The bull music kept up until about 11:30 o'clock, when a cablegram from Liverpool to a prominent house here threw it Into a howling discord, which gave the bears their opportunity. The Liverpool cable referred to read: "Advance In futures due to shorts covering; spot wheat pressed for sale without buyers; Russian offerings increasing." That and a sudden collapse of a previously pronounced bullish wheat market at St. I.ouis caused a stampedu of the bulls here. St. louis, which yesterday .at the close quoted May wheat at STUc. hoisted it in tho first hour to-day to tttl,hC and let tho bottom fall out afterward. The suddenness of the drop made speculators fairly shiver, and sent May tumbling from W4c to 75?iC Chicago leceipts of wheat were thirty-nine cars and shipments by rail were lll.ool bushels. Minneapolis and Duluth reported l&'J cars, against COS a week ago and 3l9 last year. Atlantic port exports of wheat and flour were together equal to only 215.11)0 bushels. Hradstreet's statement of the world's visible gave it as having been reduced -t.O&V'Oi) bushels last week, l,fc09,0J0 bushels of it here, and 2.25C.000 bushels in and afloat for Europe. May rallied from 75"c to 7t ic on that, but the bull feeling had been so largely squeezed out that it turned down again to 4jc, and closed at 7u14'U8C. Corn was very quiet all day, and even when wheat traders were tumbling over themselves in their eagerness to buy or sell no sympathetic interest was displayed. The general feeling was firm, but liuctuatlons were confined to c. Receipts were liberal and exports were much lighter than of late, being 2SJ,0A) bushels. May opened unchanged at 2P,hC advanced to 2ic, then reacted to 21l,ic, where it closed. Tho market for oats was dull to the extent of stupidity. Business was much smaller than an average neglected session s aggregate, and absolutely nothing of any Interest was reported In trade. May opened at UHc, sold at I7?ac, aaid closed at liUc Provisions were easy and dull. It was In a measure a day of liquidation by longs, tho consequence le!ng that yesterday's advance was lost. There was but little outside demand anil tho hog market w-as weaker. At the closo May pork was 70 lower, at JS.05: May lard, "ic lower, at $1.0.", and May ribs 5c lower, at H.l2.

As for desirable goods orders were placed, as none are to be had for immediate deli'ry. Dress silks and ribbons are doing very well and so are men's wear goods.
