CHICAGO IMtODUCK MARKET.
CIMCAOO , March 31. [ Special Telegram
to the BKI : . ! It was an uneventful and un
interesting day In the whent market. For
eigners nra taking a vacation , which
will last until next Tuesday , so that no news
of Importance could como from nbrond. It
wns n short session In New York nnd only a
morning session here , nnd ns might have
been expected there was more holiday feelIng -
Ing than business Interest In the market.
h ' While the tendency of the railroad strike is
I : conceded to bo to depress prices , it is cvon
stronger towards diminishing the volume of
business and to this quite ns much ns any
thing else may bo attributed the small truns-
Acttons of to-day. Muy wheat opened at 77c ,
which was J (3J-Co ( lower than the last
quotation of Thursday. Prices worked
tP slowly us corn advanced , until
TTjfQTTJifc wus touched , then fell to 77/c ,
and between that price nnd 77 e the market
held for u long time , declining later to 7iy < @
77c , then Advancing to 77j c , wliich was the
closing pi'ice. ' Juno wheat opened at 77 > ic ,
sold up to 77Xo and closed nt 77 c.
The ofllcial quotations for the opening of
May corn was 52c , , but within thirty seconds
there were sales nt fi2c , 52' c and IK ! ' c ; but
very little was done under 52y@52fe ; } , show
Ing an excited nnd unsettled condition of that
market. At the outset the price for May
corn worked up to Klcqulto rapidly , then fell
back to 5tc ! , advancing later to 5't'f c , full
ing back to 52J c , advancing to and closing at
. 53Vc , Juno corn opened at 52(35 ( ! )
sold at 515fg."ilXo ( and 52J-4C , und closed at
G'J.'rfc. ' The most weighty influcnco in this
market wns the expected general railroad
strike. Its effect hero was exactly the reverse
verso of its effect in the wheat market. It
might mean the cutting off of all receipts ,
and ns thu stocks hero and cast of here are
small the danger of an actual scarcity would
not bo fur away. This frightened the shorts
nnd caused the sharp advance. When their
demands were satisfied thu price fell again ,
but at any decline there was strong buying ,
which appeared to bo for Investment , ami
the result of each of these sharp fluctuations
seems to bo to leave the price a little higher
than boforo. Hutchlnson was a free buyer
of corn to-day.
The oats market wns quiet and featureless ,
but ut a little higher range of values , lluctu-
ntlons amounting to only J c. Muy oats
opened at . ' 11'te , sold up to III l.o nnd closed
atlP ! < c. Juno oats opened nt Hie , sold up to
nnd closed nt III c. For July oats : )0 ) > ; c was
asked ut the opening , and they sold up to
ii)5 ( ) < fe. For August onts 27 c was bid.
The provision trade was n little heavy. An
early break in pork was occasioned by free
selling by a pit trader and weakened the entire -
tire market and turned the tide downward.
Lower prices were the rule , and nt the ad
journment pork showed a decline , based on
Thursday's closing , 01 IO2il3Uc ( ! , lai'd of 5c ,
nnd short ribs of 7 ! jc. Tlio day's business wus
only moderately liberal , and tlio line of spec
' 'V ulation wns mainly local. May , Juno and
July were the nctlvo deliveries. In pork the
monthly carrying charges were as a rule
7K1' , in lard 5c , and in short ribs 7 } c. For
May , pork sold from . MU.IUJ early down to
$1IJ5 ) : ; lard from 9 .t'f' } down toS'.fi'ijf ; ami
short ribs from 7.15 down to ? 7.05. Pork
for tlio same month closed at $1.4. : ( > , lard at
$7.57 , and short ribs at $7.10. The restlmr
quotation for Juno pork was $1:1 : 2 ! , for
Juno lard , S7.I2 ( } , for Juno short ribs $7.171
for July lard (1St } { and for July short rib.s

any dcgrcoof activity prices would have been

ate and values were only steady. Prices
were not quotably changed to-day , but there
was a good steady close to the market for tlio
week. There was a much bettor feeling thai
on tlio opening days , owing to lighter re
ceipts. Ono or two salesmen who

NEW YOIIK , March 81. [ Special Telegram
to the HEI : . ] STOCKS The stock murkc
continues about as one-sided as It can possi
bly be , greatly to the discomfort of holderu
and operators , who believe prices have latolj
declined enough , and in some Instances more
than the situation warrants. The hitter class
however , have neither the ncrvo nor
to buy stocks so long as the general situation
regarding the labor trouble exists and showr
a disposition to spread , nnd rumoro of rnto
cutting cast nnd west oxlst , Holders who
have high-priced stocksand there arc many
would gladly get out , but ilnd It impossible
to do so without a severe loss , and the strong
cut arc forced to keep them locked up In thel
strong boxes and await a more advantageous
opportunity to unload. The public have been
soir.bd with a bear craza that seems to be
spreading. The days for buying stocks for
nn Investment uro over for the present , am
thu impression prevails among the initjorlt )
of operators , particularly these in the wet
that all u man has to do Is to soil short am
stand on his trades und ho will win , The
bulls have become completely demoralized
and long stocks como out with such freedom
that ll requires little pressure to keep price
QII the down graua. Thn feeling to-day bor

of failures , 13 oars and bulls sold indiscrim

Outlook With
TllO AVoCk'H llllHlllCSH.
CHICAOO , March 31. ( Special Telegram to
the 1)UB. [ TJicro Is no particular pressure
for loans , and bankers are amply supplied
with funds to meet requirements from all
sources. With the opening of lake naviga
tion and the resumption of business incident
to the season , the demand for money will
probably show some Improvement. At pres
ent there is a fair miscellaneous demand for
money , but not for large sums in any depart
ment of trade. Bankers tire inclined to pur
sue n very conservative course , and gener
ally insist on wide margins and undoubted
security , regarding the outlook with some
little dissatisfaction owing to the unsettled
selling , on account of labor complica
tion ! ! , the depression in railroad
securities , and irregularities in
freights in the west and southwest. Specu
lators in grain nnd provisions are borrowing
very little money at present , as they are not
operating beyond their private means nnd
generally accept small losses or profits. Con
siderable money is being forwarded to grain
and live stock districts , but Inrgcb" through
private sources. Lumbermen rcnuiro some
favors , but not for largo amounts , and chiefly
to cancel indebtedness incident to the break
ing up of logging camps. Wholesale mer
chants present about the usual amount of
paper for discount , and succeed in obtaining
nil the favors requested. Farmers are some
what delayed in their spring work by the un
seasonable weather , and this lias a
tendency to retard business of all kinds.
Kates of interest are steady and unchanged.
In eastern iinunciul centers there is a little
nioro money offered , and borrowers succeed
in obtaining all nccomodutions needed for
legitimate business purposes ut 5i 5i per
cent. Foreign money markets exhibit very
little change. Halanccs in England banks
show a reduction , while continental banks
are increasing their specie supplies. Interest
rates are easy and favor buyers.
New York exchange"was In light supply
during the past week , and the demand some
what larger. The market was stronger and
prices ruled higher. Sales were made at par
@ 50o premium per $1,000 , nnd the
market closed steady nt 40e premium.
Foreign exchange was in moderate request
during the week nnd the offerings were fair.
Shippers' sixty days documentary hills on
London changed hands at1.84 4@4.84 , and
closed steady at $4.84) .
The New York stock market exhibited con
siderable life during the past , week , and
trading was quite active. The undertone to
the market in railroad shares und securities
indicated considerable uneasiness and weak
ness , engendered by strikes of railroad em
ployes nnd complications arising from the
diflleulty of adjusting freight rates. There
has been a general desire to realize und the
chief support of the market has been the de
mand for outstanding contracts. Outside
parties were moderately free sellers , and for
eign operators favored the selling side of the
market. Wall street speculators traded with
considerable freedom. Prices ruled lower on
all the leading stocks , and were subject to
frequent fluctuations , nnd the marked closed
rather tamo. Foreign markets were some
what unsettled with prices favoring buyers.
The interest during the week centered in
Heading. Delaware , Lackawanna & Western ,
Missouri Pacific nnd St. Paul. Sales on the
New York exchange for the week aggregated
1,5(55,000 ( shares.
Hathcr more steadiness has been mani
fested in the leading produce markets during
the week just closed , and a good speculative
business was transacted. Early there was
some prcssuro-to sell by leading local oper
ators , which forced prices to such limits as
to bring considerable property on the mar
ket held on stop orders or carried on margins
which were exhausted. This added some
what to the depression , yet free buying on the
part of shorts tended to check the downward
tendency in prices , and during the balance of
the week a slight rally In prices was gained ,
though the outside ilgures were not sup
ported to the close.
The course of Uio pro vision market denoted
considerable sympathy with thu changes in
the grain markets. The shipping demand
for both grain and provision ! ) was qulto
active , showing the same Improvement , to
supply the wants of both the foreign
a nddomestle markets. Millers bought wheat
rather freely. Advices from abroad indicate
a quiet feeling In the grain markets , with
prices favoring buyers , excepting corn , while
provisions were steadier. Domestic markets
have shown only slight fluctuations , with a
little trading in u general way. Exporters
have been moderately free buyers of grain
and provisions , though a good proportion of
the orders received were limited to figures
below the views of sellers , nnd In sotno
instances slight concessions in prices vvcre
granted.
Heports relative to the condition of winter
grain are somewhat conflicting , though the
impression prevails that tlio unseasonable
weather of the past three or four weeks has
inflicted some damage in certain localities.
Spring work on farms has boon delayed and
the seeding season is fully ten days to two
weeks late throughout the west. Receipts of
grain have not been quite so free at western
points , and the movement eastward was
qulto liberal , encouraged to sown extent by
the advance in prices of the near deliveries
of some articles at tlio seaboard markets.
The 'export market was quite liberal of
breadstulTs und proviaions.
The arrival of live stock nt thfi principal
western markets have been fair , especially
of cattle and hog . The packing of hogs is
progressing favorably , and the aggregate Is
Hmicwhut in excess of last season's returns
to date. Stock of grains uro gradually di
minishing , wliilc tlio supply of provisions
shows little change.

Tim Stonecutter * .
OMAHA , March 31. To the Editor of the
BIK : : In your evening edition of the 31st
appeared an article headed "Stonecutters
Out on Monday. " For "tho information of
the renders of the BUR nnd the public iu gen
eral , we would distinctly stnto that such is
not the case , for the stonecutters ceased to
work when the article appeared in the press
anu withdrew from work in disgust for wo
were under the impression that wo had
gentlemen nnd men of honor whoso veracity
and fairness was beyond reproach , but to the
contrary wo were deceived nml extremely so
and ever remember the gentlemen hereafter ,
and moro especially one who has been flying
high in this controversy who doffed the robe
of society-stonecutters but a short time ago
and who is making strong efforts to don u
contractor's garb and has proved a bitter
enemy to his late comrades.
On the 28th inst. n circular wns being dis
tributed about the city und posted In conspic
uous places in the stone yards , the purport
of which was nn attempt on their part to
annihilate our organization , which , thank
God , wo have tlio privilege to contest with
them on that point.
Now , sir , wo ask -you conscientiously
whether you think wo would bo Justified In
remaining at work in the presence of those
objectionable circulars or not. Don't you
think it would have been prudence on the
Dart of the contractors to withhold those cir
culars until April 1 , and not insult us ( But
it has been clearly demonstrated to us that it
Is in accord with the principle displayed by
these gentlemen throughout this controversy ,
and to illustrate this fact to you wo will give
you a true statement of affairs.
On the 10th day of January , and not in
February us is stated in the i&suo of the 30th
inst. . the contractors received notice that on
nnd after April 1 wo expected 50 cents per
hour und eight hours to constitute a day's
work. The contractors shortly after re
quested a conference and their desire was
satisfied and the meeting wns harmonious
and peaceful throughout , and the only con
tention was they demanded sixty days to
complete their contracts under way. eight
hours and 50 cents per hour was satisfactory
to them , perfectly so. The result of the pro
ceedings in the conference was reported to
our association and an extension of six weeks
wns granted , making it the middle of May
before our demand would take effect. Now.
sir , the contractors' plea for nn extension of
time wus based on the assumption thut stone
could not bo secured from the quarries to
proceed with the work. But this tlmo
last season they could command slono
enough to employ fifty to sixty stonecutters
without trouble. If the two week's differ
ence in extension of time and the assertion
thut they could not secure the stone required
for ono particular job was the only difllculty
why did they not proceed nnd take advantage
of the extension of time with work they have
secured at our demands this spring , which
would ccrtaiuly counterbalance ull loss sus
tained on one job for which they cannot se
cure the stone. But no , that is not the desire
on their part , they acquaint us with the fuel
that they , the contractors , journeyed to Kan
sas City to organise , and on the strength of
thut they return to exterminate the stonncuU
tors' association for satisfaction , but It is one
thine to suy and another to do.
Another plea with tlio con
tractors is they did not receive
ofllcial notice of the extension of time. Now ,
sir , the contractors were notified officially of
a desire on our part to confer with them ut
tiny time they mny appoint , but they did not
respond , but treated the notice with indiffer
ence. And on the 23rd of March two of the
conference committee waited on Mr. Foil m
person , and were informed by thut gentleman -
man that he hud no objections whatever to
the eight hours , 50c per hour or the oxtuntlon
of six weeks. In fact ho expressed himself
us perfectly satisfied us far us ho wus con
cerned , and would try and collect his col
leagues together thut ufternoon to settle the
mutter up , but during the afternoon wished
to have the meeting deferred until the follow
ing Wednesday , which was done ; , with the
result as above stated. Now , sir , at our
meeting lust ovcnlng wo unanimously decided
taudhcrotoourdccUionoftholOth day of Jan
uary that eight hours shall constitute a day's '
labor , and 50 cents i > er hour or M per day ,
totnko effect April 1. The conclusion re
sulted from the wny wo have been misrepre
sented through the press and the underhand
wuy in wliich the employers have tried to
handle- . Wo would also intimate , hero ,
thut wo have represented tlio matter in IU
true light , nnd will , on our part , refrain from
any further controversy through the press ,

It wns about i ! o'clock when smoke was found
issuing from the second story through the

but it was very dinicult to locate the flames
on account of tlio dcnso smoke. An opening
wns made from the room beneath the goliery
and also from the alley side of the building' ,
giving access to the flames , which word
quickly subdued , but not until Kelley's gal
