New Y'ork, Jan. 24.—T0-day's opening of
the stock market was as quiet as the prover
bial mill pond, compared with the first few
minutes of business on yesterday, when there
was a rush to get out of Su .ar seldom, if ever,
paralle-ed in the history of any stock dealt in
at the board. To day, operators took it more
comfortably, and although the stock actually
got below yesterday s io#est figure, there
were few traces of excitement, 'the stock
first sold at 76*4: rose to 77. and dropped to
75 t. Supporting orJers came in at the de
cline and a gradual advance to 77*4 ensued.
Final transactions were at 77** An effort was
made early in the day to depress the gran
gers, but the support afforded them
as well as other active issues more than off
set tne mampulattous of operators who ex
pected to bring about lower prices on account
of the a tion of the House on the sugar sched
ule. ihe fact cf the matter is. the street, or
at least the trading element is convinced
that the Senate will not con ur with the
House in many of the propositions adopted
by the latter during the week, and accord
ingly are paying less attention to the action
of congress so far as the tariff and internal
revenue bills are concerned. The St. Paul
earnings for the thiid week of January were
accepted as an indication of Improvement in
western railway affairs, the percentage of
loss being the small st In months. Dur
ing the afternoon the market was de
cully firm a number of the prominent
stoiks selling anywhere from '4 to I*s above
last night’s closing figures The improvement
in the demand for AmerK an Sugar bad a good
effect. The grangers, Louisville and Nashville
and Lake shore made the heaviest gains.
The market closed firm within a fraction of
the best of the day. The sales show a big
failing off. amounting to only 173,900 shares, of
which 73.0*i were unlisted. Yesterday the
total was 272.000 shares, of which 166.000 were
unlisted, in the latter total American Sugar
figured for 151801. In the Inactive stocks.
Tennessee Coal and Iron preferred rose 4 to 65:
United States KuLber fell 2 to 36 and the pre
ferred 4 to 80. Railway and miscellaneous
bonds were higher.

New York, Jan. 24 —The Sun. in its review
Of to-day s cotton market, says: ‘Cotton de
clined 5 to 7 points but regained this and ad
vanced 13 to 14 points, closing firm, tvith sales
of 211,000 bales. Liverpool declined 2 points,
but recovered most of this and closed steady,
with spot sales of 12.009 bales, at weak, but
unchanged prices. Manchester, slow. New
Orleans declined 2 fo 4 points, but recovered
this and advanced 14 points. Spot cotton
here is l-16c higher, with sales of 95
bales for spinning. Mobile
*c, and Memphis and St. Louis l-16e.
Savaunah was easy. The southern
spot markets as a rule were steady and un -
changed with a little tetter business in some
cases. New Orleans sold 6.000; Memphis
1.500; Savannah 1.845; Galveston 767, and
Motile 700. Port receipts 26.683 against 27.-
881 this day last week, and 11,705 last year.
Receipts so far this week 113,998 against 103,-
430 thus far last week. Exports from the
ports still large. New Orleans’ receipts to
morrow estimated at 9.000 against 5,917 on the
same day last week and 4.528 last year. Au
gusta received 224. against 125 last year, and
Houston 3.65: against 3.517 last year."
New Y'ork. Jan. 24.—Rlordan A Cos. say of
cotton today: “The market to-day under
went a change of temper that was so unex
pected and extreo dinary as to seem almost
whimsical. Liverpool was lower, and the
port receipts w ere simply appalling in volume.
Our opening was at a decline of about six
points, the first sales of March being at 7.63 c.
Immediately after the ca'l. however, an im
provement commenced, which was continued
with trifling set backs throughout the day un
til the advance had reached 20 points from the
lowest. The close was firm, at about the
prices for the day. 7.82 c being bid for March.
Nobody could explain the cause of the rise,
which was certainly a very remarkal le one in
the face of depressing conditions. Probably
it was due to a combination of circumstances.
It began with covering of some of the shorts,
who believed that the decline at the
opening had discounted a larger crop than we
were likely to get. Then buying orders came
in from New Orleans and Memphis from par
ties who say that the movement is likely to
be suddenly checked next week. The very
mystery of the steady rise frightened many be
lated shorts towards the close and caused a
helter-skelter rush to corner, resulting, of
course, in helping the rise. Whether the ad
vance Jias come to stay or is a mere tempo
rary flurry, is hard to decide. If there is no
decided falling off in receipts, fear is enter
tained that the improvement will not hold.
But cotton is a very uncertain article, and the
day’s advance, when nobody expected it. has
at least given the bears a very wholesome
lesson."

Chicago, Jan. 24.—The cold wave fell flat on j
the wheat market to-day. There was a little
hope left In the hearts of the bulls, that the |
long talked of fall in temperature and freez

the growing plant to cause apprehension as to
the quality and quantity of the yield w-lth a
resultant advance in prices. 1 Tese hopes
were shattered, however, by the generous

CAN SDPPLY ANY WANT.
A London Merchant Who Has Every
thing In His Stores.
William Whitely Who Employs 8,000
People and Owns Over Twenty
Stores—Supplies Every Want of the
Citizen From Birth to Death.
From the Haberdasher.
VY’illiam Whitely, variously called the
"Wizard of Bayswater,’’ the "King of
Westbourne Grove,” tho "Great Mogul
of YY’est London,” is a Yorkshireman by
birth. At the age of 16 YVilliam was ap
prenticed for four ami a half years to a
firm of drapers in the town of YVakefleld.
In the spring of 1851 a great world’s fair
was opened in London, the first of its
kind, and such was the impetus it gave to
the world of commerce that every provin
cial, however humble, deemed it his duty
to reach the metropolis. Y'oung Whitely
scraped a few pounds together and be
took himself thither.
By dint of hard work and thriftinoss,
in 1863 he had managed to save a few hun
dred pounds and began to look around for
a proper way of investing the amount.
During his wanderings in search of a
suitable location, YY'hitley happened to
pass one day through Westbourne Grove,
when his eye fell on a placard in a shop
window announcing that the place was
to let.
"I stood and had a good look,” he says.
"I rather liked the general appearance of
the placo. I stood opposite for two hours,
and 1 felt quite sure that if I had that
shop and took care to have the window
nicely dressed and ticketed at prices com
manding a sale, 1 had seen enough passen
gers and traffic go by in the two hours to
insure sufficient business to pay expenses.
I then inquired about the simp ir >m a
man who had the lotting of it. I found
there had been two tenants in it since it
had hoen built and that both had failed.
However, 1 felt that that was their own
fault, amt not of the shop or its situation.
So ) made up my mind to take it. I spent
my little money on the shop and started
business on March 11, 1863, with two
young ladies and an errand boy to assist
me.”
At the conclusion of the first twelve
months ho was employing sixteen sales
men and women, aud two light porters,
and tlireo years later the enterprising
young tradesman—ho was little over 30
years of age—was able to rent the ad
joining shop, which he further extended
by building over tho garden at the rear of
the house.
NOW OWNS TWENTY-ONE STORES.
His most rapid rise, however, dates
from the year 1873. At that period the
retail trade of the United Kingdom was
suffering from a general and prolonged
depression, duo partly to the coming Into
existence of large stores conducted on the
co-operative plan, with which competition
became next to impossible. Thanks to
the double advantage of cheapness, and
an ability to supply every ordinary want,
from clothing down to comestibles, those
stores for a while threatened to wipe out
their smaller rivals throughout the me
tropolis. When Whitely discovered that he
had this depression to encounter on one
side, and the keen competition of power
ful organization on the other, he deoidod
to adopt the very methods that were
bringing success to his rivals. He real
ized that tho success of tho "co-opera
tives” was due not to the small member
ship fee exacted from every customer,
but to their enormous volume of business,
which enabled them to secure proportion
ate discounts at their base of supplies.
With this end in view, ho first made sure
of competent help. Then lie set to work
with unflinching perseverance and untir
ing energy to extend his already well-es
tablished business until it should surpass
all its rivals.
His dream had now been realized. Shop
after shop has been added to the estab
lishment, so that there ure fourteen in
Westbourne Grove and seven in Queen’s
Hoad, the former being brick buildings,
the latter stone. A few hundred yards
away are extensive stables, accommodat
ing 400 horses, and at Craydon another
large stable. Then, again, there is the
Mauor farm at Finchley, which supplies
not only large quantities of fodder, vege
tables, fruits and flowers, hut meat and
dairy produeo for the provision de
partment. From this farm alone sixty
two-horse wagons come to London daily.
Whitely’s great ambition seems to be to
deserve the appellation of “Universal
Provider." He aims at supplying every
want of tho citizeus. from the moment he
sees tho light of day (which includes
medical attendance at his birth) to the
moment he shuffles off this mortal coil—
and this last phase includes the coffin,
the hearse, the parson and tho plot in tho
cemetery. Of course, Whitely acts as a
mere intermediary in many cases, but he
will secure you medical attendance, all
the same, at pretty short notice; he will
build you a yacht, engage actors for you,
iind tutorship for your children, and so
forth and so on. He will do all this for
you at a discount for ready money, and
having beaten down the doctor and the
undertaker, the shipbuilder, the actor
and the tutor, he will pocket a handsome
profit.
MERCILESS IN STIFLING COMPETITION,
But his enterprise does not end here.
He deals in fowls of the air, the beasts of
the field and the denizens of the deep—
alive for the aviary, menagerie and aqua
rium, dead for the table of the epicure.
Do you require a railway ticket, or wish
to arrange for a journey to any portion of
the habitable globe! Whitely is your
man, for through some "scalping” process
he is able to accommodate you cheaper
than even the renowned Cook. He will
book you at any London theater, sell or
buy your stocks and shares, attend to
your real estate transactions, bank your
money at 5 per cent, linterest.
collect your rents, and manage your
property. And while he is thus occu
pied he finds time to do the largest dry
goods, clothing and general utility article
business in the world. Every shop in
Westbourne Grove and Queen's Road rep
resents a different branch of industry. It
is told as characteristic of him that on
one occasion, when a lady asked for a cer
tain kind of Indian chutney, not at the
time in stock, she was requested to take
a seat, while an employe in a fast cab
drove to the heart of the city to obtain
the article from the importer, which she
got for less than the usual retail price.
Cozy waiting rooms are placed at the
disposal of the women, provided with pa
pers, periodicals, writing materials and
lavatories, while the men have their
smoking and lounging compartments.
Even the footmen are not forgotten, a
room being set aside for them.
Whitely, in building up his enormous
trade, has done so at the expense of
dozens; nay hundreds, of smaller fry. He
has mercilessly run them to the ground,
and left them no alternative but to aban
don the struggle. His ever increasing
wealth has allowed him to conduct some
departments of his business at a dead
loss in order to stifle competition, and
thus at times certain goods could
be purchased from him 35 per cent, below
the cost of production. It is needless to
add that the public only derived these ad
vantages so long as the rival held out.
Such methods, causing as they did untold
misery in many quarters, naturally ex
cited the bitterest animosity against the
"wizard.” lending color to the Tatter’s as
sertion that the conflagrations from which
he has suffered during the past few years
were due to incendiarism. His various Bins
have cost him a fortune, for, owing to the
irregular construction of his buildings, no
insurance company has been willing to
undertake to pay him full value for his
losses The fire of 1894 alone cost h?,
$1,200,000 over and above the insurance
money, and since that period the com
panies have doubled his rates.
BOARDS AND LODGES ITIS EMPLOYES.
The number of Whitely's employes va
ries between 5.500 and 6,500, but more
often approaches the latter figure YVhite
ly’s sole object in life is to increase his
own fortune, and he has turned his em
porium iDto a huge money-making ma
chine. each component part of which is
only suffered to exist so long as its useful
ness is entirely unimpaired. Kach em
ploye is not only a source of profit to the
house by reason of his ability todisposeof
its wares, but, nolens volens. its customer.
YY’hitely boards and lodges him and sup
plies him with clothing, and thus prac
tically makes money at both ends. An
average of sales is expected from all
salesmen aud women in the establish
ment, aud loose who fall be
low it are quickly made to real
ize the fact. It is the very in
tensity of the struggle for existence in
London that renders it possible for
Whitely to coop up 6,000 human beings
within the limits of a shop between 8 in
the morning and Bat night, and within
those of huge penitentiary-liko dwellings
from 10 at night,until daybreak. For ail
the enjoyment these unfortunate beings
derive from their metropolitan life they
might just as well be caged in a Jail, for
their short term of liberty in the evening
renders any social enjoyment out of tho
question. Their rooms are the boarded
compartments of a large dormitory, som
ber and forbidding, in which, despite all
efforts to secure proper ventila
tion, a tainted atmosphore must
necessarily predominate. Three is
the usual number of occupants of
one partition, but sometimes there are as
many as five in a space 14 by 16 feet in
dimensions. Whitely. however, is not
stingy in the matter of’food. Roast beef
and mutton for the staple of his dinners,
with an occasional dish of fowl or an Irish
stew. He allows each man and woman a
good mug of ale. During the winter as
many as half a dozen balls are sometimes
held under Ills auspices, and among his
employes are established a dramatic com
pany, a concert society, a ministrel
troupe, cricket and rowing clubs, etc.
His experiences have taught him that
the chance of a big business succeeding
where a small one will fail are just about
ten to one. "For instance,” says he. "if
we allow a man, say, iil.ooo a yearfoi his
private expenses, and he has only one
shop, he must make £I,OOO not profit out
of tha- shop to live, hut if another man
has ten shops he need only to make £IOO
per annum out of each, and yet he it as
well off as the one who has only one shop;
besices, the larger the trade the better
the advantage in every way, the larger
dealer being able to buy at first hand and
save the profits of middlemen and, in
many instances, being able to become the
manufacturer of what hesells.”
WANT BETTER MEN APPOINTED.
A Little Stir Over the Physical Exam
ination of Firemen.
Health Officer Brunner, in referring to
the statement by Chief Puder in his an
nual report upon the fire department that
candidates for places in the department
are examined by him, says that he has
never examined but five men for the fire
department.
“Two of these.” the health officer said
yesterday, "I reported as unfit for duty,
but they were appointed all the same. I
have never made any examination sinoe.”
The Impression given by Dr. Brunner is
that he does not consider it worth while
to examine applicants for places in the
tiro department when the results of his
examinations are ignored and men whom
he has reported as unfit for duty are ap
pointed to places.
Chief Puder. when asked about the
matter, replied that he merely Included
the allusion to the examination of appli
cants by the health officer because such
examination Is required by the
rules of the department and
tnis allusion was in connection with a
recommendation for a more rigid examin
ation. in closing his report Chief Puder
says: “Men engaged in this service
should be strong, able-bodied and health.V
in every way, with thoroughly developed
muscle, honest, intelligent and courage
ous, young and active, eyesight and hear
ing of the best, sober and reliable.”
It is feared if tho present force
were to be put through the re
quirements specified by Chief Puder,
there would be a thinning out
of a lout 35 per cent, of the force.
Chief Pudor has a reason for malring
the recommendations that he did. Com
plaints have been froely made of late, not
only by observers of the fire department,
hut by the firemen themselves, that men
ure appointed to positions In the depart
ment without regard to their fitness for
the work. Complaints are made that not
only are men appointed who are too young
for tho work, but appointments
have been made of men who are
too old to perform the duties required of
them aud further still uiat men are ap
pointed who are diseased and too weak to
be of service.
A firemau who was explaining this
state of affairs to a Morning News re
porter said:
“The chief does not have the appoint
ment of the men. The men who are ap
pointed are selected by the alderman
who are members of the fire committees.
The alderman appear to re
gard the fire department as
a charitable institution and I
know of instances where men who havs
lost their situations elsewhere because
thev were physically unable to perform
their duties, who wereappolnted to places
in the department. The firemen are ex
pected to do the hardest kind of work
when occasion requires it, and it is neces
sary for a fireman to be a strong, able
bodied man to stand the strain of several
hours’ work at a big fire. If tbe depart
ment is filled with weak men poor service
must be expected. The firemen who have
been in the service for any length of time
are all fully agreed that a man should be
required to pass a very strict examina
tion before being appointed.”
TO RECOVER AN ESTATE,
A Suit Against Jonas Mendel to dot
Back Property Sold by Him.
A suit for what is technically known as
wrongful conversion against Jonas Msn
del, brought by J. H. Brown, temporary
administrator of tbe estate of Peter G.
Patterson, was taken up in the city court
yesterday.
Patterson was the owner of a small
store in the southern part of the city,
worth in all about SBOO. He died Feb. ‘St,
1893, testate, but left no will. Jonas Men
del took possession of the property, and
sold it to George Hyliger; and March 32
letters of administration were granted to
J. H. Brown. Mendel at first claimed alt
the property that Patterson had, but his
defense now is that be sold the property
for the Savannah Grocery Company, to
which Patterson was indebted. The pe
tition seeks to recoversl,6oofrom Mendel.
The evidence in the case was concluded
yesterday, and the arguments will be
made this morning.
