lS. TREASURER JORDAN IS-DEAD. He Sucqumbs to an Attack of ‘. Grip, from Which He Had Seemed to Be Improving a Little. ‘WELL KNOWN AS FINANCIER. ‘Had Had’ Charge of Uncle Sam's Strong Box In This City Since Hie Appointment by Cleveland in 1886. Conrad N. Jordan, an assistant tr @rer of the United States at th Treasury in this city, died late yes- teriay at his residence, No. 697 West End avenue. Mr. Jordan had been {II for several days from an attack of the erip. He had rallied after the first severity af the attack and appeared to Pe, improving, but yesterday euffered a -. Jordan was born in New one that institution, He retained that ipoals flon four years. At the time of the “gold panic” the Gold Exchange Bank was ruined and Mr. Jordan was made auditor to the receiver, During the political campaign of 1884 Mr. Jordan was an active worker ‘n the Democratic ranks, and as a reward was @ppointed, in 1s%9, by President Cleve- land as Treasurer of the United Stat After leaving the Treasury Mr, Jordan becamo President of the Western Na- tlonal Bank, of this city, but in 1893 was appointed by Mr. Cleveland Assistant Treasurer of the United States, at the Bub-Treasury in this city, to succeed Ellis H. Roberts. He held’ the appoint- ment up to the time of his death. Ellis H, Roberts, United States Treas- urer, arrived here to-day with a force of clerks from the ‘Treasury Depart- ment at Washington, and will remain in charge of the Sub-'reasury until a Successor to Mr. Jordan thas been ap- pointed. As a mark of respect to Mr. Jordan's memory the fiags on the Sub-Treasury and Assay Otlice were hung at half- mast to-day. . COTTON PRICES CUT ON FREE SELLING, Bull Clique Gives the Market Lit- tle Support and Bear Leader Predicts Further Drop. The bull clique on the Cotton Ex- change got a set back to-day when th market opened 4 to 6 points under the previous close on lower Liverpool cables and free selling of the near-by options. Free unloading of May around 10 cents followed and the bulls offered but' little e@upport. Daniel J, Sully, of Providence, R. 1, who is thought to hold 1,000,000 bales, though many of his operations have been for Stephen M. Weed and Gwath- mey & Co., is the leading bull. At the present prices he would have profits of @bout $12 a bale, but he is confidently waiting ¢or another big advance, which he predicts will carry prices to fifteen eents a pound. There are about 2,000,000 bales yet to be sold and as soon as the rains in Texas let this get to market there will be a deluge in spot cotton that will try the bull pool to its Mmit, a, begins to look as if tho bull ma- ation by the cliques in Liverpool, 1 New Orleans was avout H, Price, tho lead~ ing ope at ing th toms of a bear panic, and such epliodes @enerally mark the’ end of any pro- movement. jor advanced 40 points within twenty-four hours.

The local cotton market opened 4 to 6 points under last night's close, Owing to unsatisfactory cables the market de- veloped considerable weakness this morning, especially on near positions, STOCKS DOWN IN WEAK MARKET. Expeoted Poor Bank Statement Makes Speoulators Hold Off, While Fear, for Aldrich Bill Continues Menace to Trading. STEEL A GOOD FEATURE. Pennsylvania, Wabash and Amaiga- mated Figured Well in Dealings, While Tractions Get Some Atten- tlon—'Frisco Drops Some. The etock market was quiet and gen- erally weaker, all day, owing to the firmer money rates and expectations of &n unfavorable bank statement to-mor- Tow, Fear that the Aldnoh bill would fall_to pass was also @ factor. There was no important newe to Influence sentiment toward the bull side, and traders operated listleasly. Pending explicit official announcement [of the ‘Frisco deal, the etook, after ad- vancing 8-4 point, reacted 1 per cent., wihile second preferred also declined a point. Wabash was more active and fairly strong early in the day, but soon reacted. Rock Island moved within fractional limits, finally losing ground. There was a slight recovery in Atchi- son, Missouri Pacific and Wabash pre- ferred, which latter ran up 1 per cent. and held most of the gain. ‘New York Central and St. Paul were Up over 1 per cent., but reacted some- what, In the industriel lst Amalgamated Copper continued to receive good sup- port. Sugar gave way after an early fractional advance. General BPlectric lost its gain of 1 8-4 points. Tennessee Coal & Iron continued strong and was absorbed on all concesstons. Metropoli- tan Street Railway rose a fraction and other local tractions were steady until late in the afternoon, when the entire list weakened. The activity of Pennsylvania was really due to the expected good showing in the annual report which is about due, and the simultaneous activity of this stock and Wabash was probably merely @ coincidence, as there was no confirma- tlon of the rumors of an arrangement between the Pennsylvania and Gould in- terests, ‘There was some #hort interest in Bt. Paul. Standard Oil representatives said that they ‘aa not been doing anything in the market. ‘The good support in United States Steel preferred was a feature, The buying on the expected rights hae been quite considerable. The Rock Island-'Frisco merger was treated as a bull argument on St. Louis and San Francisco only, and so far us Rock Island was concerned, wae looked at more from the point of view of the new financing than the strategic value of the alliance. London was not a factor, as cable communication wi low and uncertain and qulte useless for arbitrage purposes. ‘The movement in Wabash pf. was a>- complished by a revival of oi ‘the old rumors and clally that one linking it with Pennsylvania. People in a posi- tion to know thought it extremely im- probable any attempt ta buy coi trol in the open market was in’ prog. ess, nor did they think it possible that wutticlent stock co’ ‘be obtained that ‘way without the < “doula holdings, ‘Paere Ja reqson to think that Seaboard is likely to take a position of more prominence in the near future, expected that the Gould-Rockefeller 1 diuence will conduct a formidable cam paign against the Morgan roads to off- set the effect of the 'Frisco-Rock Island combinauon, It is persistently rumored that there will be rights on the St. Paul stock before the March dividend, Money loans were dull but firmer. ‘Dime money was quoted at 5 per cent. for atl dutes and call money at 3 per cent. Bonds were generally firm, The Clesing Quotations, which were unloaded freely around 10] Am cents for May, with the bulls ap; pare Jy offering but Iittle support to t list.

Justice Herrick ordered the name of Levy & Unger stricken from the papers and granted a bench warrant for Springer'a arrest. His ball of $5,000 was declared forfeited three days ago. Lawyer Spooner, representing Philip Baer, former ilbrarian of the City Hall, Jointly indicted with Springer, asked that his client's case be transferred to, the Court of General Sessions, whee he would be assured of a speedy trial. Justice Herrick remarked that he did not think that Baer was particularly anxious for a speedy trial; that he had a chance to clear his name during the trial of Springer, but had refused to do 60. Baer, who was sitting at the reportors’ table, said that this statement was un. true. Justice Herrick: paid no attention to-him.

FEBRUARY 27, 190. Motherhood is woman's natural des- tiny—actual barrenness is rare—com- forting words to childless women.

I had pains in my back and sides, especially before men- struation. JI had doctored but received no benefit.
