Stocks and Bonds in New York The urain ana Provision Markets ot Chicago.' j 22 With bull rifiWB that Chicago,! Nov ordinarily should have raised prices of wheat considerably higher, there was a decline to- aay. j.ne Russian Minister of Agriculture yesterday approximated a smaller yield for that country than last year by 64,000,000 bushels, but the information was not received until after the markets had closed, an ad vance on the curb resulting from the com munication, however. This gain wajfstill in evidence at the opening to-day, further con fidence, being imparted by the Cincinnati I'nee Currents summary that the invisible DUFi"j ui ima country on .November 1st was &b,uuo,ooo bushels less than on the cor- jcaHuuumg uaie a year ago, and that the to tal stocks were less by 47,000,000 . bushels than in 1893. All of the encouragement coming from these items disappeared when the closing Liverpool cables reported a - de cline of d were received. The Continental markets were likewise, witnout exception lower. As on yesterday, the December li quidation was the feature of the trade against which the demand Wheat feeding, according to the Cincinnati 1 nee Current, continnps hnt- hma dency to enlarge. Cash wheat was ic. lower. The temporary strength in corn was soon aissoived wnen wheat turned weak. There is a belief current that with the expiration ui novemDer ana tne ninng or tnose con tracts mere will be a dropping off in the arrivals. Sales of cash corn were generailv uinue ai oieauy prices, tne nominal close being weaker. Oats changed but little to-day, the feeling showing strength and weakness in unison with the wheat and corn markets. Cash oats held steady. Provisions were, as usual, looking to the stock yards for their motive. v.The receipts of hogs did not fully realize expectations in that direction and good lots i were quoted higher. The entire list of product were benefitted by these conditions during the early portion of the session, i prices, how ever, eventually succumbing to the declin ing grain markets.. All of the appreciation was lost before the close, January pork and January lard each showing a decline of 74c oyer yesterday and January ribs closing 5c under that day's final figure. New York, Nov. 22. Naturally, after yes terday's developments the stock market opened excited and feverish. For a time there was a struggle for control in Burling ton and Quincy, but the bears were unable to force the stock below last night's closing. Failing at this, the traders started in to cover, and a general advance of i to 3 per cent, followed, the Grangers, Sugar and Manhattan being most conspicuous in this rise. Following this, there was a heavy selling movement in Northwestern and Sugar, Northwestern was depressed to 97J from 9Sf , The decline was the result of the prevailing impression that the directors at the coming meeting will reduce the dividend rate. While nothing official is known it was argued that the company must have suffered with the other Granger roads and that if the earnings of the St. Paul are any criterion, the jn ortn western nas not earned its full divi- dend.The traders are claiming that the direct ors will not encroach on the surplus and that the stockholders will get what the road earned. This, they say, will be about 2 per cent. A cut in the price of refined sugar was used to nammer.Bugar certificates and on heavy trading the price broke from 91 i to 88i to 888. Manhattan, after its early advance, receded to 103J, but closed un changed for the day. ' Chicago Gas was weaker than for some time, and declined li per cent. to. 72g. Close observers of the market thought they discovered selling of long stocks. Further liquidations carried Cordage, common, down to 8J-. the preferred to 14i and the guaranteed to 27. These are the lowest figures since the reorganization. Pullman palace broke from 157i to 152, on fears of adverse legislation by certain West ern States this winter. Toward the closej the market improved on statements by lead ing bankers that the new loan would be taken care of. It was also stated that the big New York hanks will furnish their cus tomers with gold necessarv for the new loan, which it is hoped will put an end to the withdrawals from the treasury. Prices moved up J to lj per cent, from the lowest point of the day Burlington. Jursey Cen tral. Rock Island, St. Paul, Louisville and Nashville, Chicago Gas, Missouri Pacific, preferred, Southern railroad, preferred, and Union Pacific leading. The market closed steady. The strength of Sterling exchange continues, and is causing more uneasiness than the exaggerated talk about a gold pre mium. Net changes show gains of J to lk per cent; for the usually active stocks. Su gar lost 23. Pullman 51 and Northwestern I percent. Cordage common closed i and the preferred I Tower. The recent selling of the guaranteed stock was due to a belief that the divided payments, which were to begin January 1st next, will be in definitely j postponed on . account of the poor business'of the company. Railway bonds were weak and lower. The sales of listed stocks aggregated 148.000 shares, unlisted 88,000. It was reported late in the day that after a protracted conference a syndicate was made up this afternoon to take one half of the $50,000,000 Government loan. President Stewart, of the United States Trust company, and his friends to subscribe for the other half. The new syndicate is said to comprise the Chemical, the Park, the Importers and Traders, the Chase, the Fourth National banks and the Bank of Commerce, Th6se banks are among the largest holders of ' gold and if they take the loan, the treasury will be a large gainer of the yellow metal. The agents in this city of the Bank of Montreal will re ceive $600,000 gold from Canada this week and $400,000 next week. . It is understood that this gold is to pay for subscriptions to the Government loan. Testimony Before the Colt Court of Inquiry. Columbus, Ohio, , November; 22. A large number of Washington Court House citi zens were on hapd this morning when the Coit court of inquiry opened. The wit nesses examined this morning were C E. Page, a dentist; G. W." Caldwell, one of the sheriffs . deputies, .and Lieuts. Goldney and Justus, who were on duty at Washing ton Court House at the time of the shooting. Page was on the street at the time of the firing and heard the officers order the streets to be cleared and warn the people that they would fire if an attempt was made to break down the doors. It was his pinion that the erowd was determined to hang Dolby, and would have done so had the militia not been present. There were citizens who did not join in the movement, but they ade no attempt to quell the excitement, e would not say they were intimidated. He saw the crowd use the baiterintt'-ram on the doors and heard the "all together'' very distinctly. The firing followed immediately. He did not see the police force try to do anything that night. Duputy Sheriff Cald well decribed the rush upon the prisoner as he was taking him from the jail to tbts court house In the af ternoon. He himself was knocked down, and when he got up a soldier mistaking him for one of the rioters, ran a bayonet against his breast with such force as to penetrate the flesh: Only the work of the soldiers and the presence of mind of his assistant saved the prisoner from the mob then. Lieut. Goldney saw pistols drawn in the cTowd and heard members of it cry out not to be afraid ot ine soiaiep. as mey uare uvi fire except On a peeal order from the Goy enor. i , , , , Lieut. Justus estimated the crowd present at 2,500. In the rush for the prisoner he saw two pistols drawn by members of the mob. . t ' - : J c cendiaries c onvicted. Ridgewat, Pa., Nov. 22.

Washington, Nov. 22. The Court of. Ap peals of the District of Columbia to-day granted the motion of counsel for Chapman and AlacArtney, the indicted recalictrant Sugar trust witnesses, for an appeal from the recent decision of Judge Colei holding that they are liable to punishment for re fusals answer questions put by the Senate committee. . - In accordance with the suggestion of Japan, the State Department has notified Minister Dun at Tokio and Minister Denby atPekin to transmit such direct offer as China may wish to make Japan, j As cable directions were sent Tuesday, sufficient time has not yet "elapsed to determine : whether China will consent to make the offer, direct and definite, as Japan insists must be done. The Chinese Legation here! has not been informed as to what course its Goyern. ment will take. i Commander F. R. Smith, retired, to-day reported to Commodore Wallace, president of the court martial appointed to Itrv him on the charge of scandalous conduct grow ing out of the non-payment of his debts. Commander Smith was ordered to report several days ago, but failed to do so. The court adjourned as soon as he reported and will begin the inquiry to-morrow. I Capt. John J. Read has been selected to command the cruiser Olympia when she is commissioned, which is-expected to be in January next. Urgent orders have been is sued from the Navy Department to prepare the ship for service as early as practicable. The weakening of the Pacific squadro&by sending the Charleston and the Yorktown to China has left but three ships in active service along the entire west coast of this continent, the Philadelphia, the Monterey and the Bennington. j The torpedo boat Ericsson" has failed on her third official trial trip. Acting Secretary McAdoo this morning received f roin Com modore iSelfridge, chairman of the trial board, the following telegram: "Broke star board air pump. Running at time j twenty three knots." j Naval officers think that this settles the fact that the Ericsson is badly handled and that she cannot be exDected to succeed nntil her crew is changed. The speed the vessel must make is twenty-four knots and her break down at twentv-three knots srwpd sufficiently indicates in naval officers' ODin- ions that something is radically wrong on the little boat. Naval engineers claim that the vessel has demonstrated' her ability to mc ycsei uoa ueiuoiiauraieu ner aoiuty to make twenty-four knots under proper man-1 agement and assert that if a regular naval crew should be substituted for the Mississippi river men now in charge the' Ericason will make an acceptible record. It is likely that tne mavy Department will refuse to permit any further trials under the present man agement. Half a dozen shiDs. inclndins the Cincinnati and the Dolphin, have been kept at uunsiueraoie expense ior tne past two weeks attending the trials. It is I thousrht that the trial board will return to Washing ton for i consultation with Secretary Her bert.

" - - Highest of jill in Lea veiling Power. - Latent UJ FOREIGN BANKERS. They Will Take a Large Block of the Bonds A Dozen Banks Hold ing Most of the G old-Speculation as to How Mnch Gold TheyJWill liet Ont. New York, Nov. 22. A number of for eign bankers-held a conference with the presidents of the leading Trust companies this afternoon in the United States Trust company's office. There were represented the following houses: Speyer & Co.,iKuhen, Loeb & Co., Drexel, Morgan & Co.,Heidel bach, Ickelheimer & Co., Lazard Freeres;, Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co., I. & S. Worm ser and J. & W. Seligman. . j Arrangements were perfected for taking a ' block of bonds, but whether the bids would be for the whole amount , or not, Mr. John ! A. Stewart, president of the United States Trdst company, declined to say. There is no syndicate formed in the technical sense, but a general understanding as to the price at which bids would be put in. Arrangements w&e also perfected for securing the gold. Notwithstanding the mystery, with which prospective bidders are enveloping their in tentions, it is understood that the National banks will put in their bids on a 3 per cent, basis, while the combination of Tn-ist aaies and ioreign bankers will bid slightly naer 3 per cent. , There has been no formal UQ tween the banks regarding the method of furnishing the gold, but this is not neces sary at the present time, as the terms of the subscription only require payments in in stalments. A dozen banks hold the major portion of the gold in New York city and it is expected that the banks will part with 40 per cent, of their gold holdings. It is ex tremely unlikely that the banks will come together to determine what shall be done regarding the gold, until Monday next. The bids will all be in then, and the hunt. holding the bulk of the gold will be able to determine fully what they will be called upon to do. As it is expected that the issue win De over suDscriDea, eacn subscriber will not know what atnountof gold he will need until the treasury allotment is made. The New York banks will then know how much gold will be required by their deposi tors and can act intelligently. The presence of a representative from each or the foreign houses which conduct the gold shipping business, also leads to the belief that if the New York banks should fail to do their full duty, the gold will be secured-abroad. When the foreign houses know what amount of bonds is awarded them, they can begin drawing their bills of exchange upon London, and as amnio t ma is allowed for making the full payments to the government, n any large blocks of bonds are taken by them, their bills will force down the foreign exchange market and permit gold to be imported more cheaply than the present condition of the foreign ex change market would seem to warrant. The local treasury officials, who are watching the bankers very closely, haye re duced their estimates of the amount of gold that will be secured through the bond issue and are riot sanguine that oyer $30 - 1 v i k ?

Washington, Nov. 22. The only with drawal of gold to-day from the sub-treasury at iew York was 150,000 by Chas. Hatha way & Co.A making the total withdrawals since November 13th, $4,300,000. There is no longer any doubt that the bids for. the new issue of bonds will far exceed the amount to be sold. Indeed, the indications are that the bids already received more than cover the t50,000,000 and that the large bids expected to-morrow from New York and other near-by cities will raise the total to nearly $75,000,000. According to the official figures, the price to be paid next Saturday on the 5 per cent bonds so as to realize 3 per cent, is 116,008 in addition to the interest reckoned from November 1st to the date of payment. THE SOUTHERN EDITORS. Royally Entertained at Norfolk A Steamer at Tbeir Command Visits to Points of Interest. Norfolk, Va.. Nov. 22. The members of the Southern Associated Press, comprising all of those in attendance yesterday, took the steamer Chesapeake, of the Virginia oyster navyj this morning about 11 o'clock for a trip of observation, the vessel having been placed at the service of the Virginian and Landmark for this purpose by Governor O'Ferrali. ! The first point of interest was the navy yards, where the party was met by Admiral George Brown and his aide, Lieutenant Ty ler, who were untiring in their attention, These officers showed the visitors over the yards, through the magnificent ship building plant of the Government there, and on board the battleship Texas and the cruiser Raleigh. From the nayy yard the party went to Old Point Comfort where they paid a fly ing visit to the Hygeia hotel and the fort, Their time being very limited. The return to Norfolk was made at 6 o'clock. The gentleinen were unstinted in their praise of Norfolk's harbor and said they had never before fully appreciated the ex tent and importance of this grand, sea port. ( Most of the visitors left the city for their homes to night. Th8 Eastern War, HiBoscHMAi, Nov. 22. It is reported that China haa intimated that she will offer to pay a war indemnity of 100,000,000 taels and in addition pay all the war expenses in curred by Japan. Yokohama, Nov, 22. The Chinese Pie Yang squadron is reported to have shelled the Japanese troops marching On Port Arthur. A desperate battle between the Chinese and the Japanese flats' is said to have followed. The result of the engage ment is not known. ' Washington, Noy. 22. The Navy Depart ment has an official cablegram, announc ing that the Chinese battleship Chen Yuen, the most formidable vessel in the Chinese navy, was damaged by a torpedo on leaving Wei Hai Wei on the 18th instant and was beached and is now useless Commodore Lin, in command of the Chen Yuen, com mitted suicide after he disaster. The Chen Yuen was a magnificent fight ing machine, very much hke our own bat tleship Maine. She was built in Europe in 1SS2 and was of 7,430 tons displacement. It would appear from the brief statement of facts in the cablegram that the ship fell a victim to one of the torpedoes planted by the Chinese themselves to guard the entrance to Wei-Hai-Wei, which was the last of the great naval strongholds of the empire save Port Arthur now tottering to its fall. It was as well that Commodore Lin committed suicide, for he would doubtless have been decapitated as the result of his error. It is believed here that this loss has deprived the Chinese navy of its offensive power. There remains the Ting Yuen, another powerful battleship, and a few lesger iron clads, but without the "aid of the Chen Yuen they would hardly dare to make an offensive campaign ana probably will remain in port to assist in the defense.
