OUR SPLENDID TRADE. i
The New York circular of Henry Clews says: j
•The Bureau of Statistics furnishes another j
evidence of th? extraordinary expansion of our
export trade. For the month of January the :
exports of merchandise (Including silver) 1
amounted to $112,500,000. which Is $14,700,000 in j
excess of the tlgures for the same month last :
year The imports were valued at $53,300,000, 1
which falls $800,000 below January. 1897. . The
month's exports show an excess of $59,500,000 i
over the Imports. From this, however, must be 1
deducted J5.000,000 for our net Imports of gold {
during the month: also a liberal allowance
must be made for the interest and other minor i
accounts during the month, which would leave I
a net balance to our credit of probably $30,000,- j
000, to be added to the already extraordinary •
floating indebtedness of other countries to the
United States. This is an additional reason
for anticipating protracted ease In the local
money market."

EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
NEW YORK, Feb. «.— The slump in the
stock market this morning- was so sudden and
violent that the trading almost took on panic J
conditions, but the avalanche of liquidation !
was over in less than half an hour, and then j
there were some quick recoveries. The dullness !
and the recuperative tendency that followed '
showed that the determination to let go at I
whatever sacrifice had been quickly abandoned '
and a late drive by the bears found prices by
no means so unresisting as in th« morning, j
The covering of shorts worked a substantial
rally before the close. The early slump ranged
from 1 to nearly 5 points in the standard j
shares, and from that up to an extreme de- ]
cllne of 12 points In Metropolitan Street Rail- i
way In the specialties. Recoveries, though j
sharp In some shares, were at no time com- '
r>lete in any stock. The later tone of the mar- j
ket suggested that the early break was at least !
encouraged by manipulations, and the sub- '
stantial character of the buying at the ex
treme decline corroborated the idea that there
was waiting purchasers anxious to se :i>>
stocks at a lower level of prices. But the fact
was obvious, nevertheless, that apprehension j
over the Cuban situation was more acute than
at any time heretofore. There was evidently a
•f orders to sell at the market when trad
| -ned, and commission houses report that
■ ame from many sections of the coun
try, indicating an uneasy feeling on the part
of holders lo realize on their securities. The
character of the buying is evidenced that there
are ..wners of large capital who believe that
the situation has been fully discounted in the
decline which has been made.
London was als-. a large buyer during the
riny, its tota! purchases being estimated at
40.000 shares, or lufi.OOO shares in two days. Gov
ernment bonds were strikingly weak the de
clines In the bid price being Vf?lH per cent.
Money was higher, call loans being from
2H to 3 per cent, and time loans for sixty days
were made at 4 per cent, with quite an ad
vance in them. The calling of loans released
quite an amount of sterling exchange which
was held as collateral, and 'the exchange mar
kpt broke sharply, demand sterling being
quoted at %c below yesterday's price, at $4 Hi%
This Is near the gold import point and sug
gests an available source of relief for any
threatened stringency In the money market
Quite a heavy movement of currency to the
Interior Is still In progress, but It does not
appear that this Is due to any other cause
than th« expanding ne<>d? of business. Money
is going tr.tr. loans and thus Into the active
course of trade.
In the stock market those securities which
suffers the heaviest declines, notably the
Grangers, with Burlington leading, and the in- '
ternational stocks, with Union Pacific preferred
the most acute sufferer, enjoyed sharp rallies,
so that the day's net declines are brought
within a ranife of 1 to 4 points outside the *
specialties.
Metropolitan Street Railway dropped 12 points i
but closed 3 points above that, and Manhattan' i
though it fell at ore time 9%. shows a net de- i
cline of 6 points.
The movement In the bond market was In !
sympathy with that in stocks, declines rang
ing between 1 and 2 points. Prices closed'
somewhat above the lowest. . Total sales
$4,025,000. "
United States new 4s coupon fell Vi per cent i
and "■-.ld at the bid price. 125V4.
The registered bonds of the same Issue fell '

the asked price. The old 4B4 B coupon fell 1 per

LONDON MARKETS.
NEW YORK. Feb. 24.— The Evening Post's
London financial cablegram says: The stock
markets here were dull to-day, being de
pressed by New York and Paris. Amrivns
were very flat, chiefly on New l*-->rk selling and
closed weak on liquidation of some bull ac
counts here. The buying here to-day was of a
better class than the selling, and prices closed
a shade above the lowest.
; Money was easier to-day, because borrow
■ ings from the bank were overdone. Spanish
j securities were flat. Other stocks were dull.
Mines were better. Gold Is scarcely wanted
and the price is barely 77s 9»«id. Money in In
dia is excessively high and the Bombay bank
rate Is up to the record of 103 per cent.
The China loan is all underwritten. It is
i probably a 4^ per cent loan at 90, and is in
scribed at the Bank of England.
Details of the gold movement for the week
I show the export of £46.000 to South America
: and the receipt of £114.000 from Australia.
NEW YORK WHEAT MARKET.
NEW YORK. Feb. 24.— The sensational fall
in stocks to-day unquestionably had consider- ;
able Influence on wheat, as Wall-street oper
ators extended their liquidating efforts to the
grain pits of both the New York and Chicago
markets. Besides this pressure local bulls were ;
discouraged from offering any support, as for
eign markets were unsatisfactory and crop
news favorable. Scalpers therefore sold short
with impunity and the market under these
conditions broke 2c during the forenoon. The
Clique had May dancing about in a lively fash- ,
ion MOD after the opening, but gradually re
linquished its grip and allowed prices to fol- .
low their bearish Inclination. Foreign houses
were good sellers of wheat here. Sentiment
locally has been growing very bearish in the
past few days, particularly with regard to the
July option, where most of the trade Is now .
centered.
Crop news promises to have a marked effect j
from now on. Lelter wheat recently shipped ;
from Chicago Is arriving here and will doubt
lea soon settle the outward movement. The :
range on May to-day was from 99Tici&$l 01%, .
closing at $1 00*4, against SI 02% last night. ;
July sold from 92 11-16fj?94Hc and closed at
9Jijc. against 94\c last night.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
CHICAGO. Feb. 24.— Selling orders, espe- I
cially from the smaller holders, were very
much in evidence at the opening of Wheat
trading, and as limited support was given the
market th« tone at the start and for , some
time after was very weak. Opening prices of
July, which closed yesterday at 91% c, ranged
from 91c to 90% c, and in May from . $1 05 to
$1 04%, these figures being l@H4c decline from
yesterday. Selling orders came on the market
quickly for a time, and although no large
blocks were unloaded the effect of the ham- i
mering was shown in a decline to 90% cln '
July and $1 04% ;In May. . There the market ;
reacted under moderate covering , by ' shorts, j
July reaching 91% c - and May $1 05%. These ,
prices proved to be the highest points of the
day. Selling started afresh at the advance and ,
prices gradually tended downward, with fluc
tuations frequent, the market showing con
siderable nervousness. The break In Wall
street securities and the Increasing gravity of
the Cuban reports were the overshadowing in
fluences. The smaller holders especially showed
a good deal of anxiety to unload their lines.
Another factor was tha weakness shown by
Liverpool -in the face of the small stocks at
that place. The English market showed de
clines of from %@%d. The rally In Wall street
had the effect of stopping in a degree the sell
ing . pressure and the first reaction . noted fol
lowed. After May had gone down to SI 04% and
July to 90% c a period of comparative steadi
ness followed. Those prices were around "put"
figures, which had ' a steadying influence on
the market. Letter was also credited with buy
ing at the decline. The market became ex
ceedingly dull and remained so until about 12
o'clock. Then " radical weakness developed.
Offerings of long Wheat, which had been small
for some time. Increased In volume under the
Influence of rather sensational Cuban news.
There was pressure on May which the crowd
believed due to Letter, and this served to in
crease the .nervousness ' of holders and prices
steadily declined. Closing cables all showed
weakness. Near the close the market became
very weak and little support from any quarter
was forthcoming. May declined to and closed
at *1 03% and July declined to K9Hig > S» He clos
ing at 89% c. the later delivery being supported
by a prominent broker late In the session. .

war news and the break in Wheat. May closed

CALIFORNIA BEANS IN NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24.— The Journal of
Commerce says: During the past week
or ten days the market for California
dried Lima Beans has shown decided upward
tendency. At the beginning of this movement
stocks could have been purchased on the spot
at $1 32^4 per bushel and possibly less. Reports
from California, however, caused an active
speculative demand, and under purchases made
by one of the leading commission houses here,
supplemented by orders for considerable quan
tities in various sized lots from Jobbers, prices
rapidly advanced. To-day some holders decline
to f-ntPrtain bids of less than $1 60 per bushel
on spot, though $1 55 it is understood will still
buy and possibly some small sellers might be
induced to accept $1 52Vfc. The general ten
dency of the market, however, is upward, ow
ing to stronger advices from the coast, where,
according to telegrams just received. $2 12^
per 100 lbs (equal to $1 75 per bushel here) is
now said to be the Inside price. As there is
no uniformity of action between owners of
stock in California according to reports re
ceived here, doubts as to the stability of the
market there are expressed and for this reason
buyers are holding off. The Lima Bean Asso
ciation, while still In existence, is said to have
lost control of the market, most of the far
mers preferring to act Independently.

NORTHERN WHEAT MARKET.
PORTLAND, Feb. 24.— The local wheat mar
ket is weak and lower, with exporters not at
all anxious to do business tinder existing cir
cumstances. Freights are very firm and the
European markets have no encouragement for
anything in the future, so temporarily matters
are nearly at a standstill. A few of the deal
ers ventured a quotation of 76c as an extreme
limit for Walla Walla; valley and bluestem,

Harrison's Circular says: "Since the Ala
meda left the following vessels have arrived
from Australia, viz.: Kate Thomas, 2563 tons;
Benares. 2371 tons; Seminole, 1815 tons; Cam
buskenneth. 2929 tons; Prince Robert, 4140 tons;
Tamar. 3047 tons; Helen Denny, 1030 tons; Gen
eral Gordon, 2439 tons, and Inveramsey, 2295
tons; total, 22.629 tons. Each of the above car
goes was sold long prior to arrival, and came
to hand very opportunely, as nearly all of
them went directly to consumers who were
waiting for them. From December 27 to Feb
ruary 3 there were only two colonial arrivals
here with 6918 tons of coal, hence our yards
here were virtually bare of these grades, the
beginning of this month. Prior to May there
are ten vessels due, carrying about 23.000 tons,
being a very small amount to fill our re
quirements for the intervening time. The en
gagement list to carry- coal from Sydney and
Newcastle now foot up 52 vessels of a carry
ing capacity of about 134.000 tons. This evi
dences there has been very liberal chartering
going on within the past thirty days. This,
of course, has had a hardening influence on
rates, and has caused an advance of fully
Is 6d, as the last charter rate was 16s 6d from
Newcastle. If we should have seasonable rain*
within the next thirty days, thereby Insuring
us an average grain yield the coming harvest,
this would necessarily cause a weakness in all
inward freights from every source. This helps
to make buyers timid for the moment, as coal
freight would be the very first article to feel
the effect."

At the annual meeting of the Daly Mining

150.000 shares were represented, and R. C.
Chambers was re-elected president; Richard
Mackintosh, vice president; J. 13. Haggin,
treasurer; Thomas J. Almy, secretary. Messrs.
Chambers, Mackintosh and Haggin, with
Goorge M. Scott and David Keith, constitute
the board of directors. The company during
the past year marketed ore and bullion of the
value of 1171,471. distributed a dividend in the
sum of $37,500 and closed with a cash balance
amounting to $36,199. In addition to the cash
on hand, a supplemental statement showed that
among the assets were new material and stock
at the mine of the value of JI2.SS9, and at the
mill new material of the value of $13,154.
In the Savage Mining Company's ground on
the Comstock lode during the past week, on
the 130 level, main west drift has been cleaned
out and repaired a distance of 18 feet; total
length, 378 feet. Brunswick lode— East crosscut
No. 3 was advanced 16 feet; face in porphyry
with streaks of quartz giving low assays; total
length 60 feet. Incline shaft No. 1 has been
punk a distance of 16 feet; total depth, 1078
feet ; bottom In porphyry.
The official letter from the Justice mine for
the past week says: West crosscut No. 2,
started from the face of the south lateral
drift, was advanced 24 feet during the week,
making Its total length 109 feet; the face is in
quartz and clay. On the 55 level the north and
south drifts are advanced 16 and 24 feet, re
spectively, from the shaft. Work on this level
hns been temporarily discontinued, as we have
stopped hoisting ore until the present milling
Is finished. During the week we have hoisted
15 tons of ore. The car samples assay, gold
$21 25, silver $18 85; total, $40 10 per ton. We
have shipped 55 tons of ore to the Douglass
mill, which commenced milling our ore on the
19th lnst.. and has milled 25 tons. Battery
samples assay, gold $7 52, silver $12 81; total,
$20 33 per ton. Our process of milling is by
amalgamating In the batteries and catching
the gold on copper plates. The battery assay
represents the pulp which escapes from the
plates and is worked in pans. Hence the bat
tery assay does not show the full value of
the ore. as It does not include the gold held
In the battery and on the copper plates.
In the Belcher mine, on the 1200 level, the
north drift from the east crosscut from the
main north drift from the Incline is n«v in 95
feet. The east crosscut from the north drif/
on the same level Is out 11 feet; the face shows
a mixture of quartz and porphyry. On the 850
level the joint Crown Point and Belcher raise is
up S4 feet; the top is in quartz giving low as
says. There have been hoisted during the week
and stored In the orehouse at the mine 41
mining carlonds of ore, of the average mine
car sample assay of $19 83 per ton.
