Studying Florida sugar fields is what a few prominent Pennsylvanians are doing these holiday times. Clans Spreckels and Hamilton Disston are among the visitors that the spe cial car en the Florida limited brought here last week. The large plantation and sngar works of St Cloud, situated in the richest of the Okeechobee "reclaimed" lands, is the magnet that is drawing Northern capi talists to this point. Last year the mill had its experimental run, and to-day the success of the new in dustry has surpassed the most sanguine ex pectations. Over 51,000,000 is invested in the plant; 400 workmen, Italians and ne groes, are employed, and every part of the work is under the most scientific principles. From the fields the cane is hauled by ox teams, passed through a tramway, crashed by two compressions; the first under a pressure of 250,000 pounds; the final by 621.000 pounds, and the reluse after such pressure comes out as drvas powder, to be used as fnel, which, too", supplies 90 per cent of the fuel consumed. A TVOED OK THE PBOCES3. The juice thus separated is then bleached by sulphuric acid gas, and another engine throws it a distance of 20 feet into vats and tanks, when it passes from one tank to an other, being constantly tested at each point by an expert until it comes to the grannla tor, and the sugar is separated from the svrup. "The company is making thrre grades of sugar "choice yellow," wholesaling it at 5i cents; white, at lyi cents per pound, and one other, a little finer; bnt this same sugar must find sale through New Orleans mar kets, whence it goes to the world labeled "Louisiana sugar," and commands, there fore, New Orleans prices. The St. Cloud Company is opposed to the Sugar Trust, and, with Glaus Spreckels' re cent interest in .norma sugar (.having De come cot only a grower, but purchaser of raw material), with sugar king in South Florida, the trust must soon break or yield. The refinery is conducted by Colonel Bnngier. a New Orleans sugar expert, who employs a large lorce of Louisiana work men. COLOXEL 2I00BE, OF PITTSBtTEG, AXSO. During the last two months capitalists lave turned their attention to this new in dustry as never before, and Florida caneis pronounced in every way superior to Louis iana. The magic name of "W. L. Scott is doing much to boom the sugar industry in Florida. The Pennsylvania coal king owns a tract of 0,000 acres already, while the arrival of Colonel J. W. Moore, ex-coke operator of Pittsburg, is looked for anxiously by hungry land agents, since it has been whispered that he too will follow other Pennsylvania capitalists in this speculative iever on sugar lands. The rich reclaimed lands possess an ad vantage over richer Cuban or Louisiana plan tations, in that the soil is much stronger and the season longer 4,500 pounds of sugar to the acre is the estimate given by Colonel Bringier in an interview yesterday. Daily the mill is turning off 75,000 pounds of dry sugar. The 'time required to convert the raw material, as it stands in the field, to the choicest granulated, ready barreled lor market, is seven and a half hours. STAETS OFF WELL.

They Improve In Strength nnd Activity Under the Influence ef Easier Money Everything Closes at the Highest Point. NxtT Yobx, January 4. The stock market was again moderately active to-day, and In that respect furnished a marked contrast to the dealings during the same hours of yesterday, and the urgent demand for stocks, which was developed jresterday, continued with the resnlt of leaving almost everything traded in mater ially higher than last evening. Tbe money rates to-day were of course merely nominal, but they were low and ths purchasing for the long ac count assumed larger proportions, and aided by the demand from tbe shorts a strong and steadily advancing market was made. The uniformity of the improvement was a feature, and the only marked advances occurred in the specialties Tbe opening was active and strong at advances-over last night's figures, extending to Jj, per cent, and with tbe single exception of Sugar Refineries, which was sold on rumors of a probable contest between tbe refining inter ests, the entirt market moved up, but the only specially prominent auTance was in Colorado Coal, wbich spurted 2J per cent in a short time. Sngar retired about 2 per cent, but recovered a large portion of the loss, while the general list was subjected to a moderate set back toward 11 o'clock. This was of short duration, however, and the upward movement was soon resumed, though with less force, and no further feature was develoned. the close belnc active and strong, with prices generally at the highest points. Railroad bonds were more active than they have been for some time, tbe transactions for tbe two hours reaching $953,000. with the Ches apeake and Ohio 5s specially prominent in tbe dealings, with transactions ol 5120,000. Shen andoah Valley first certificates rose 3 to 115. Tbe sales of bonds for the week were S4.SS2.000, against 54,491,000 for last week.

UH 50THIKG IS OIL. Quotations a Trifle Better, bnt Business Continues Painfully Smnll. There was the same apathy and listlessness in tbe oil market yesterday as on tbe previous days of the week, and while quotations aver aged a little better, business showed no im provement Outsiders maintained their old attitude of watching and waiting. February oil opened at 103; highest 101; lowest 103; closing, 103. There were a few small transac tions in cash oil at 103. It was offered just before tbe close at 103- What littlo strength tbe market displayed came from Oil City, where an attempt was made to work a bull movement Bnt after reaching 104, the highest point of the day, tbe attempt was eiven un, and the price receded to its former level. Here tbe trading was not only light but entirely expressionless, and tbe same may be said of Kew York and Bradford. While conditions favor better prices, the ab sence of support and fears of tbe Standard are aa incubus which intimidates professional dealers and prevents an upward improvement. and prospects for a radical movement so long as these conditions continue is exceedingly slim. There will be fractional changes, but no material departure fiompresentqnotations for some time. Tbe abrogation of futures would have very little effect either way, as outsiders seem to be thoroughly divorced from this speculative commodity. These are the views of some of the most competent brokers on 'Change. Fndav's clearances were 104,000 barrels. Those for the three days of tbe year were 1,682. 000 barrels. Tbe business yesterday did not ex ceed 50,000 barrels. MEAT ON THE HOOF. The Condition of Business at the East Liberty Stock Yards. Office of Pittsburg Dispatch, Saturday. January 4, 1S90.

Produce Dealers are longing for a First-Class Blizzard. THE POST HOLIDAY LOLL IS HERE. Hides and Harness Leather Continue to Show a Slow Market OUTLOOK FOB SPRLNQ TKADE GOOD Office of PrrrSBtmo Dispatch,'! Saturday. January 4, 1S90. J In general produce lines the week past has developed no new features of special interest Trade has been slow, as is its custom on the heels of a holiday season. Values Tary very little from those wbich ruled a week ago. Commission men earnestly long for a touch of old-fashioned winter -weather. It is very rare that butter and eggs are so quiet and slow tbe the first week in January. A first-class bliz tard would at once lift prices. The mild weather, while it is tbe producer's and dealer's loss. Is the consumer's gain. All fruits and vegetables are slow at old rates. In cereal lines receipts are heavy and mar kets weak. Only choice stuff finds customers at quotations. The flour situation gives some signs of improvement, and millers are firmer in their views than they were at the close of the year. Jobbers here are carrying much lighter stocks than they were a month ago. Any change of prices is almost sure to be an advance, as val ues cave been down to bedrock for months past. It is in tbe air that a revival of trade and stronger markets are close at hand. Bide nnd Calf Skins. The season is now fully on when the quality of hides is poorest, owing to long hair and grubs. The result is seen in lower prices, and slow markets. Light and cow hides are par ticularly slow, hut all hides are lower. The re duction in price gives tbe tanner bis material about at the old rates when quality la consid ered. The butcher is the loser in the deprecia tion. Calf skins are scarce and in good demand at an advance of one-half cent over the rates which have ruled for some time past There cent fire at Lynn. Masa, which ate up Immensa quantities of shoe leather, is thought by some dealers to have had a stimulating influence on calf skin markets. The following prices are f nrnisbed by John H.

Harness Leather. The Northsido tanners report a quiet trade, but promising outlook. While stock has been accumulating for the past month or two, there is not as large a quantity on hand as there was a year ago at this time, and capacity of tanners has been considerably enlarged In that time. Within the past three years the capacity of the Allegheny tanners of harness leather has been almost doubled, and still the trade is not over done. Within the next week or two the spring. trade will open, and all signs point to a brisk demand. Retailers and harness makers are carrying light stocks, and the time is at hand when they must replenish. The high reputa tion of Allegheny harness leather will, with out doubt as In former years give it the first benefit of a revival in trade.

The Government Crop Report and Easier Foreign Mnrkets Take tbeStarch Out of Wbeat Pork Active and Stronger, Chicago Only a moderate business was transacted in wheat to-day, and the feeling was unsettled. The market opened up weak, and prices were K lower, due. to the Government crop report, and to a rather easier tone of European markets. The firmness in the foreign markets has boen the principal strengthening feature lately, and with this lack ing, operators gave np hope. At the decline there was good buying to cover shorts, and one prominent trader was credited with buying 1,000,000 bushels or more for May delivery. The buying was sufficient to check the decline, and caused a temporary rally of Kc;above early inside figures, but eased off again later, closing about hic lower than yesterday. A moderate business was transacted in com, and the feeling developed was weak early, but latter a steadier tone was manifested. There was no new feature presented ontside of the Government crop report which had a weaken ing tendency. The market opened a shade un der the closing prices of yesterday, the near futures showing the greater weakness. Janu ary in particular, which sold off K)c. A rally followed, but was of short duration, the market ruling easier, and final figures were a shade lower than yesterday. Only a light business in oats, the near deliv eries being neglected. There was no particular pressure hi sen. nenco tne prices remainoa steady. A fairly active trade was reported in pork and the market exhibited a little more strength in a general way. Shorts purchased a few lots, and prices were advanced 57c. Later the market rnled quiet and prices settled back again 607Kc, and closed comparatively steady at medium figures. A quiet feeling prevailed in lard. Prices were about 2c lower, and the market closed quiet In short ribs there was less doing.

In the expectation possibly of viewing the Carnegie picture which has sot yet arrived, Frank Siddons, who hails from Harrisburg, visited St. Paul's Cathedral yesterday. Fail ing to see the picture his artistic eye was at tracted by an overcoat in the parochial resi dence belonging to one of the priests, and dressed in the latter's best he sallied forth. Constable Murphy, of Judge Gripp'a of fice, arrested Siddons later in the afternoon and he was in time for evening service at the Central Station. Siddons carried a large nnmber of photograhs, taken at Fort Boyal, and from letters fonnd on him has evidently been connected with the theatrical profes sion. Inspector McAleese himself will make the information, for he says; "I cannot trust these priests to do it Ton see the paradox that although his reverence felt hot when he lost the overcoat, he was cool when he got it back. A little soft soap and plea for for giveness will go with a minister when it won't phase a police officer. I guess I'd better make that information myself, after I get the facts." 1 THE FORTY. BODES. Impressive Services Besan nt St. Phllome na's Church, One of the most solemn, dignified and im pressive services in the Catholic Church oc curred yesterday at the beautiful church of St. Philomena's, on Fourteenth street and Liberty avenue. At 10:30 o'clock a solemn high mass was sung by Father Werner, rector of the church, assisted bv several other resident priests; after which benedic tion, and an exposition of the blessed sacra ment took place. The Quarant Ore,or 40 hoars' devotion, is a very ancient service. It is the exposition of the holy sacrament for 40 hours. There are many indulgences to be gained by the faithful who attend church during this sea son. Throughout the day and night the church was crowded by devout worshipers. The high altar was beautifully decorated. There were myriads of candles burning amid choice and luxuriant flowers. The church was suffused with the lovely perfume of the flowers. The sight of a big throng of worshipers in silent devotion was an elo quent attestation or the power the exposi tion has on the hearts of the people. THE DANIEL KAINB ESTATE. Judge Inghran's Decree In the Case, Chang ing Some of the Findings. rSPBCIAL TtLXOKJLM TO TUB DISPATCa.l TJiriOKXQWir, January 6. Judge In ghran's decree in the action of the estate of the late Daniel Kaine, Esq., has been re ceived by tbe attorneys interested. Mr. Lindsey, the auditor, is reversed in two of his findings and confirmed in all the rest. This will necessitate the redistribntion of the funds. E. L. Bobinson, 'Esq., counsel for Mr. "West, one of the successful objec tors, says that the point raised in reference to his claim is now decided lor tne nrsttime. Following is the text of the decree: And now, November 29, 1889, this matter came on for hearing on exception to auditor's report and was argued by counsel: and now December 31, 1889, after consideration thereof, it is or dered, adjudged and decreed that the excep tions flled to said report by S. W. Jones and the People's Bank of Fayette county be sustained and allowed, and tbat all the other exceptions filed to said report be overruled and dismissed. It is further ordered and decreed tbat said re port be referred to the same auditor for correc tion, in accordance with this decree, and being so corrected that said report be confirmed.

Ottawa, January C At the session of Parliament, which opens on the 16th inst., it is understood the session 'will be a lively one. A resolution will be introduced to abolish French as an official language in the Canadian Northwest. The Orangemen will seek to secure incorporation, bnt will have to connt on the opposition of all the Bom an Catholic membersof Parliament. The House will, at an early date, consider the fishery question, and probably map out the future policy of the Government regard ing it. There was a disposition to revert to the treaty of 1818, but Sir Charles Tupper objected to such a course. This may result in a modification of the Government's pro posed policy. Sir Charles seeks to pursue a conciliatory policy in view of the unsettled state of the Behring Sea question, and the fact tbat British interests there are largely involved. A CONVERT SECURED. Iloivn Young Iinthernn Was Won to the Presbyterian Fallb. 'Willie Clauson, the 9-year-old son of the City Hall janitor, has a keen appreciation of the sweets of Sunday school attendance, especially about Christmas festival time. He has a little friend who attends the Xiutheran Sabbath school near Homewood and who accompanied him -to the Presby terian Christmas festival at the same place. On Saturday morning Willie called his father mysteriously aside and said: "We are going to have Johnnie attend our Sabbath school. He says our candies were twice as nice as theirs. "We've got another pupil, sure." The young enthusiast was quite delighted with the expected gain in membership as well as with the solid and sweet arguments which procured it. FOB THE BAZAAR.
