McKenna a clerl; la an insurance company, is in St. Luke? Hospital recovering from a surgical operation, one of the rarest known to modern science. The operation Is known as gastroenterotomy. and consists of removing the patient's stomach, cutting away the pylorus ami several malignant growths in its vicinity and restoring the stomach to its former place. McKenna was resting easy last night and the physicians say that if the present improvement continues he will be up in a week. . McKenna complained some months ago of severe pains in his stomach and was troubled with insomnia. Altogether his rymptoms suggested severe indigestion. A tube lnstrted through his oesophagus Into his stomach showed a total disappearance C all acids and a destruction of the pepsin, making indigestion impossible. Food taken Into the stomach was taken away seventeen hours later in practically the same condition as before. This condition called for an examination, which disclosed a tumor as big as ;i hen's egg and a systematic defeneration of the pancreas. The patient was thereupon prepared for the opt ration. The vertical incision, about live Inches long, was made In the abdomen and through the growth, the exposed pylorus showing a tumor outside or' the stomach. An ineiion was then made In the stomach and inside was found a cancerous growth the size of a large orange. The point where the Incision ws made at the pylyrus b; the exit of the stomach Into the iijtestir.es, the other opening being the entrance through the oesophagus. The stomach was cut away from the intestines nd thn organ was lifted completely out of Its place and iaid on a cushion of antiseptic cloths placed on the patient's chest. Then the doctors cut away the tumor and cut oft the pylonii, the other malignant growth btin thoroughly cut away. The stomach was theii put back In its accustomed place, having been Joined to the intestines with silk sutures. Hut little blood was apparent throughout the whole operation, which lasted one hour and fifteen minutes. The patient rallied at once and it was seen that the operation was a success.

At Now York yesterday money on call was, steady at S-itZVi per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 3SJU per cent. Sterling exchange was easier, with actual business in bankers' bills at $i.S7?i for demand and $4.S4U for sixty days; posted rates, Jl.STäl.Sö'i and 4.SS; commercial bills, J4.S3Vi&4.&4. Silver certificates were 61V63c; Mexican dollars, 4rjc; bar silver, 61c. Sliver bar closed at 28 3-16d an ounce on the London market. The market made quite a vigorous resistance yesterday morning to an early bear drive, liy means of the sustaining influence of Individual stocks early losseu were largely wiped out, and the level of prices generally carried over Wednesday night, but during the latter part of the day the market succumbed to depression and speculative liquidation came into force. The result is a predominance of net losses on the day.. A few. stocks maintained a marked net gain, but they were rather palpably under manipulation for their sustaining Influence on the rest of the market, while profit-taking was going on. The narrowing supply of available credits and the calling of loans by some of the banks wa3 the most Important Influence In tne reaction. In addition the movement of prices had grown quite obviously under the influence of manipulative pools, and the selling to take profits by this class of operators, ir. a market where the public Is not taking a large part, had the effect of turning prices downward. The money market's recent course has been an influence to lower prices. JJesldes the absorption of over $J,500,(XO by the subtreasury from the money market, and the seasonable turn in the tide of the interior money movement to New York, the money market has felt the effect of the payment by the Union Pacific of half the purchase price of its controlling Interest in Southern Pacific. The Pennsylvania Itallroad is also reported to have paid over several million dollars on account of the Long Island Railroad purchase. Money rates have consequently worked closer, and tome of the holders of stocks on margin have been prompted to liquidate. This selling was particularly marked yesterday in Pennsylvania, Union Pacific and Hurllngtcn, which were made the object of joint operations for a rise during the last few c'.ays. An effort was made to continue pool cperations for the advance by a revival of reports of the St. Paul absorption by Great Northern and Northern Pacific interests. This had the effect of lifting St. Paul l. An advance in Chesapeake & Ohio of 13s on talk of large earnings and an increased dividend was a strengthening factor, and there was quite an active speculation for the rise in People's Gas and Sugar. With the exception of Chesapeake & Ohio, whicn saved a net gain of 1, these stocks lost practically all their gains, and the selling movement carried the principal active rallload stocks from 1 to 2 points under Wednesday. Among the less important stocks which were pushed up at times during the afternoon were Brooklyn Union and Consolidated Gas, with advances of Ü and 6Hs; Pullman, 6; General Electric, -, and a number of others from 1 to 2. There was a turn against the shorts in some of the steel stocks not included in the United States Steel Corporation, which resulted In advances of from 2U to 6 in the Republic Steel stocks, Colorado Fuel and Tennessee Ccal. All of these stocks fell back after the demand from the shorts had been satisfied. The bond market was quite active, but Irregular. Total sales at par value were $5.400,000.

Milder weather s esterday led to some Improvement in trade, but in some lines it is slow, owing to the delay In the coming of real spring weather. Especially do the dry goods houses, the milliners and the hat and cap dealers feel it in the volume of their business.1 On Commission row yesterday more business was done than In any preceding day of the month, and on nearly all articles in the fruit and vegetable line prices ruled firm. Especially is .this true of apples, ranges and bananas. Onions and cabbage-, as well, are very firm at quotations. Irish potatoes' are moving slower and prices are easing off. Eggs, poultry and butter are all in good request at prices quoted. The firmer tone to the egg market, say the shippers, is but temporary. As soon as receipts Increase prices undoubtedly will decline. Wholesale grocers are having a big trade. All staple groceries are firm and coffees are hardenir.R In tendency. Other lines are without new features. The local grain market drags.

GRAINS ARE VERY WEAK

DECLINES RANCH FIIU.U UlAHTKIt TO FIVE-EIGHTHS OP A CENT. Slump In Oats Trcclpltatcs a General llreak Hok Products Strong, Mnkinir Gains In All Lines. CHICAGO, March 7. Leading speculative grain options were handled on a declining market to-day, in conspicuous contrast to the clear-cut strength of hog products. The cereal slump was precipitated by weakness in oats, wheat closing HHe. corn c and oats Uc lower. Tork closed 30c, lard Tc and ribs TM'UlOc higher. Opening; transactions in wheat were lower, at 73?8(ö75Uc for May delivery, a condition of speculative affairs due to a variety of bearish influences. Liverpool was depressed to begin with; Northwest receipts were liberal and the weather of a mild character, calculated to stifle cropdamage reports. Commission houses sold heavily, and during the first half hour the market was pounded to T5Vi'5"3t,4c. Then the market became dull, and under local buying, much of it covering by shorts, reacted to 75V&C. A report that some wheat had been sold direct to Hamburg helped the market at this time. Meanwhile there was some activity in July wheat, which increased Its discount under May to "fjlc. During the afternoon the pronounced weakness of corn and oats and the discouraging export situation awoke bears to tho possibilities of the situation and the market declined with some celerity to TTc and closed weak and ifc&'JaC lower, at TiiTGlsC Exporters reported eighteen loads taken. Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour were equal to 389.0O0 bu. while primary receipts were 5S7.000 bu, compared with CvS.oo) last year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 441 cars, against 282 last week and 521 a year ago. Local receipts were 43 cars, 3 o contract grade. Corn opened weak on freer country offerings, liberal receipts and a slack shipping situation. An estimate placing the amount of corn in farmers' hands at &0,(00.000 bu, compared with 773,000,000 at the same time a year ago, was also depressing, although it was nothing more serious than a guess. The provision strength exerted itself in behalf of the failing market and accomplished some recovery, but the oats weakness prevailed and corn slumped off sharply to the low point of the day, where the market steadied on the reported engagement of 57 loads for export. May sold between 40c and V-iOc. and closed gc lower, at 48'Jc. Receipts were 335 cars, one of contract grade. As was the case yesterday, oats led In the weakness oX the grain markets. Ileavy lots of long oats, from holders tired of the featureless market, formed the bulk of the offerings, but on the decline bears put out some short lines. The market steadied and recovered fractionally near the close on profit-taking by shorts. May sold between 23 tissue and I'lc, and closed Uc lower, at 24c. Receipts were 155 cars. Provisions were active and strong. The market opened at a small advance, because of a light run of hogs, and advanced sharply on buying by an influential packer, who, according to an estimate, bought M.) barrels of pork and 1,000,'MJ pounds of ribs during the day. Other packers bought also, while scalpers sold on the advance. The close was strong. May pork sold between $14.25 and $14.55 and closed 30c higher, at $14.52; May lard between $7.5o and $7.57y2, closing 7Hc up, at $7.52x7.55. and May ribs between $7.12 and $7.20u7.22, with the close 7Mfl0c up, at $7.1717.20.
