THE MARKETS.
Wnll Street Rovlew.
New Yoik, Jan. 28. Today's Mock
market showed signs of a struggle by
the bulls to sustain prices while they
were taking their prollts. They were
moderately successful and sold large
blocks of the stocks which have been
recent speculative fnvoilles, without
producing any marked decline else
where In the list. Northern Pacific
pieferred Ih the only one of the recent
favorites which shows a net gain for
toduy, but the declines In the others
were not sufl'clent to uncover any large
number of stop loss orders. The sharp
gains In special stocks at different
times during the d'iy were evidently
due to manipulation for the purpose
of sustaining the general market. This
together with the higher range of pric
es reported from London this morning
kept stocks well above last night's
level during tha early part of the day,
but the closing showed an eusy lone
with prices generally nt the lowest.
Tiie total sales were 473,900 shares.

From the Boston Tram-dipt.
Impeiatlve requisitions by the gov
ernment authorities for the production
of hunting for navy Hags are what In
sure the superiority so well known to
characterize the American article. The
regulations prescribe that the fabric be
made entirely of wool of the best qual
ity, and show no Imperfections, the
weight to be five and one-fourth
pounds avoirdupois per piece of forty
yards of 10-inch width, the yarn to be
evenly spun, the warp and tilling to
contain no less than thlity-four threads
to the Inch, nnd the warp two-ply with
one-ply filling, properly twisted;
further, a tensile strength Is required
of sixty-five pounds for the warp and
forty-five pounds for the filling, In test
pieces two Inches wide. The colors
must bo as "fast" as It Is possible to
make them, nnd not llnble to be seri
ously affected by being soaked con
tinuously for twenty-four hours in
fresh water and then thoroughly
washed In water with which is com
bined n good grade of laundry soup,
livery stripe and device on the flags
made of this superb material are meas
ured with the most perfect geometrical
accuracy, and the stars are put on so
carefully nnd evenly that when the flag
Is held up to the light the stars, which
are made of muslin and put on both
sides, appear to bo a part of the fab
ric. The stars ure cut with chisels

nnd day, nnd one great steel concern
running on Sunday, but the works not
yet filled with orders are seeking eon
tracts at os low prices as have ever
been made. Indicating thut even there
are not entirely unprofitable. The set
tlement of wages on a 10 per cent, ad
vance April 1 for 200,000 coal miners of
the central region, with other changes,
will tend toward a larger demand for
pioduets of all kinds, though also to
ward some Increase In cost of mnntl
focture. Wheat has been conspicuous,
rising live cents for the week, with
Ti'sc for May options. Western receipts
have been 10.009.033 bushels In four
weeks, ngalnst 0,043.712 last year, but
Atlantic exports have been 12,003,828
bushels In four weeks, against 7,103,074
last year and Pacific exports, without
Tacnmn this week -1.031.3S3 bushels,
against 3,434.99,"i last year. So heavy
an outgo with wheat over a dollar n
bushel, and with corn exports for the
four weeks equalling the extraordinary
movement of last year, discloses the
strength of foreign demand even better
than current accounts If disappointing
shipments from Argentine and poor
prospects In Russia. Cotton has risen
n sixteenth, notwithstanding the strikes
In eastern mills and the official report
of a decrease of 10.fi per cent. In Brit
ish exports of cotton goods last year.
Receipts still run so far beyond those
following the largest crop on record
that estimates once deemed extrava
gant are commonly accepted.
The cotton manufacture Is In more
difficulty than any other, not merely
because prices do not much Improve,
nor as yet the demand for goods.though
both are helped by the closing of many
mills, but largely because the manu
facturers and workers have considered
too little the rapidly growing produc
tion at the south. The woolen manu
facture is doing well, fine worsted goods
hnving opened nt an advance of 20 per
cent, over last year, und the large mills
are constantly buying wool, even nt
current high prices, which implies great
confidence In the future, presumably
based on larger orders than are public
ly reported. Such purchases of wool
have been frequent of late, and even
by mills supposed to be supplied far
ahead, and one Providence mill ap
pears to have taken 230,000 pounds
worsted well at Wheeling this week.
Sales at three chief markets have been
S.OS0.100 pounds, and for four weeks 30,
421,070. of which 21,307,720 were domes
tic, against 30,517,000 Inst year, of which
23,397,300 were domestic.
The Iron manufacturer Is getting
larger orders for finished goods, which
crowd many works almost beyond their
capacity, although some others are still
In the market and keeping prices down.
Pig Iron Is steady, except that Bes
semer nt Pittsburg Is '10 cents lower,
the output lust your being officially re
ported at 9,032,00 tons, and the con
sumption In this country, unsold stocks
considered, 9,023,3S3 tons, ngalnst 9,
001,504 In the largest previous year,
which was lb93, and 9,394,392 tons In
1&92.
Failures for the week have been 342
In the Pnltei States against 331 last
year; 34 In Canada against 57 hist year.
