CniCAfio , 111 , , Kub. 24.A brcaU of nearly Jl
per barrel took place today In the price of
pork. I-'rniii $10.10 , last nlRht's clo-dng llKiires ,
tliemarKutfeltto$18.a25 ! , closing at $18.'Ju.
The spt'culatlvo branch of tliu trade has been
In the hands of tcalpors for several day , no
outside orders having been received. The III *
plutiftcra took advantiiKeof thlsconilltlon of
thliiKs and orjanl/.ed ! a vicious raid. They
found the market poorly supported , and
pressed their advantage with vlftor , lirliiBlni ?
out a lot of properly on Hlop Itw orders and
preclpllatliiK a violent Hurry. The closlni ?
price marks a decline of } ' 2 a barrel In pork
from the outside price made on the recent ad
vance. Tlin slump was a Hoard of Trade af
fair entirely , the hos market at the stock
yards feelltiK the elVects of the raid only
KllKhtly. Il was looked upon by many as the
IOIIK looked for bi'KlnnliiK of the end of the
bull campaign In provisions. Compaied with
yesterday's eloslnj ; prices , the May deliveries
lire 'JOc olT for hud and ilbs tonight , and
wheat from H ' to aic.
Corn was Mipportcd by some rovrrliiR by the
fchortsand luiiKsiilTi'rliii ! ! ( c lilKhcr.
Wheat trading was of a rest ilcted character.
Trices early In the day declined ' , < : below the
closltiK llKiires of yesterday , then b came
KtroiiKernnd tlm decline was recovered , but
cased off ? 4f iiKnln , closing steady.
The attitude of the clluue Is still the pilncl-
pal consideration wllh operators and o lonir
as It Is believed to hold on tolls line there will
jirolmbly not be niiich deposition to short the
market , however bearish leaders may feel
unless tlicie should be something unusually
LentIsh In the way of ne s.
Ono of the llrm features was the fact tint
local receipts wele KlOcnrs less than e.xperted
niul cullies reported a little better tone abroad.
Tlieclliiues had u few brokers In tliu market ,
who picked up some wheat , hut It was more In
let the crowd know that the clique was still
here than to any dr-Ire to add much to Its
holdings. The dispatch showing I''irmer
llalch had sulTeicd another defeat In his
nltorlR to bilni ; the anti-option bill lo a direct
Tote as another streiiKthenliiK factor.
A InrKO bnsln'jss uasdono In corn and an
early period of weakness pivo way to a subse
quent recovery under Rood buying. The Initial
decline currying May down \K was due to the
blight weather , which HiurKcslod further lib
eral receipts and sympathy wllhothcr'mar-
kets. The inajorliy of traders strove to make
May touch -IIk1 , liellcvhiK this would hrln out.
some stop loss orders on tliosclllii ! ! side. Hut
a Kood snowlni ; hud been scored during tin1
lust ten days' , and some of the operators on the
Eliort sliln bavlnt ; a piollt camu In as buyers.
There was ( 'ocul trade In oats within u range
of ! 5c. The market closed steady at about
the same ( Inures as yesterday. There has
been a good deal of liquidation by longs of
late , but it lias not been as thorough as In
corn. The shorts have covered quietly and
weio the best buyers today.
The in irket for hog products was dcmor.il-
l/ed and us prices declined under tree oller-
Ings considerable long property was thrown on
the market , and especially on behalf of out-
Hide turtles , which had been carried on small
margins , and this added to the depletion
generally. I'rlccs llurtuatcd wildly and on
the uhole range declined materially all
around. Trading on behalf of outsiders was
very unsutlsfuctory and It was almost Impos
sible lo comply with orders.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat ,
105 cur.s ; corn , i00 ! cars ; oats , 215 car.s ; hogs ,

cotton letter says : .Spinners have again do-
ser'ed thu Liverpool market and their takings
uiu butS.OOO bales , whllo thu arrival market
lias been the scene of wild fluctuations , finally
closing very steady at 70ijc , a decline from
yesterday's closing. At the opening of our
market thu liquidation of the long Interest
caused n decline of from 8 to 10 points , though
the maikot quickly recovered a portion of this
loss on a rumor that the mills were resuming
work with the assistance of nonunion men.
Our private cable dispatch shows that the
market Is very discouraging to the holders of
cotton unless the men surrender uncondition
ally to thu demand of the masters. During
the afternoon the market recovered most of
thu loss and closed steady at tliu highest of
thu day and within 4 points of yesterday's
figures. The strength of prices Is founded
principally upon the exceptionally light In
terior movement. The present movement
seems to point to a total production of less
than (5,500,000 ( bales.

STOCKS A.XI ) IJONUS.
Decidedly HonrUh Sentiment Kxlstvd In
Wiill Street \Ysterdny 'Morning.
NEW Youu , Feb. 24. A decidedly bearish
sentiment existed In Wall street this morn
ing , hut as the day developed thcro was a ma
terial changu In tills respect , and , whllu re
sistance was given to the declines In the leadIng -
Ing weak slocks , the market as a whole again
'
showed'a disposition to break away from the
influence of thcso stocks , as their movements
were the result of special causes and not Justi
fied by the recent .situation.
The outgo of gold for tomorrow was reduced
to a mere nominal sum , and money was decid
edly easier than for some time before the
holiday. While llttlo attention was paid to
thcso Influences , they evidently had their full
clfcct , and a weak , feverish and unsettled
speculation was changed Into a strong one.
Iteadlng and its alTalrs occupied still the
piomlnent position on the street , but there
was n decidedly weak fesllngand although the
transactions In Heading were still large , thu
pi Ice was depressed only a fraction and a full
and substantial rally was In progress during
the entire day. The stock moved steadily up
ward , Iliuilly closing at 30 with a net gain of
lipereen ) . It was somewhat handlcaped ,
however , by the course of Its ally , New Kn-
gland. The bears found this stock an easy
prey , tuid undoubtedly heavy liquidation was
performed , whllu the bears uncovered stop
orders continuously and from 37 last evening ,
It declined to 28'i with hardly a rally worthy
of the name and finally closed at 29 with a
net loss of 8 pur cent. Humors of the worst
kind were persistently circulated and the
chief of these was that the roads would
certainly go Into the hands of a receiver whllo
at ono tfmo It was said on thu board that Mr.
Parboils had actually been appointed.
An emphatic denial was received from Itos-
ton and ono of thu directors who had recently
resigned said that no receiver could be ap
pointed when thu road was not In dubt and liu
KiniW of his knowledgu that no obligation
which could not bo Immediately provided for
was pressing. Notwithstanding this , however ,
thu decline was not checked and the stock
closed weak. Only ono other prominent fea
ture marked thu dealings , which was Sugar.
The belief was general that the liquidation In
progress was for tliu account of the pool and a
dcctlnu of nearly 5 per cent to 111S ! wus es
tablished In the foienoon.
Thu ippearanco of Mr. White In the crowd
turned thu course of prices und almost u full
recovery was established before thu close ,
stimulated primarily by Ills purchases. Among
the other Industrials Cordagu was specially
weak In the forenoon , retiring to 37 , against
42 o hiHl night , and in this also u full recov
ery was brought about.

weekly review of trade : While $ . ' ,030,000 In
gold has been shipped this week und half a
million Is expected to RO toJny , there is no
increase of appt-ohcnslou about the mone
tary future nml the business .world pays
little attention to the action or Inaction of
congress , though the Increasing probabilities
of nn extra session arc rcgftvdej with some
interest.
At ISoston wool Is steady with s'lles of
1,000,000 pounds and prices of lleeco tliu
highest for u lung time ,
Philadelphia reports some uneasiness
among lenders on account of the Heading
failure , but the banks are well supplied for
legitimate business. Iron is weaker ; wool
stronger.

products fairly active , whllo glass holds
recent advances.
Cleveland shows Improvement In general
trade , with iron firm and money easy.
At Cincinnati foundries and machine shops
are busy with full orders.
Furniture manufacturing opens well at
Indianapolis.
Detroit reports larger business than last
year.
At Chicago the feeling in leading branches
of trade is goo.l with larger business than a
year ago. nti'l collections good , except in re
gions where storms cuuso delay.
.Milwaukee notes fair trade.
At Minneapolis the Hour output Is slightly
decreased , but prospects In lumber ami the
building trades are good.
At St. Joseph the dry Roo'ls trade Is act
ive , but collections in other lines slow.

only 10,000,000 bushels , and corn and pork
products scarcely changed. Cotton is an
eighth of a cent higher. Cattle are active
at Chicago. Iron Is still the weakest of the
great industries ; that not of the best brand
is a shade weaker than a week ago. Copper
and tin remain quiet. Lead is dull.
