C1IICACO , March 1C. After n dull and
easy setslon wheat spurted at the close and
finished Uc higher than yesterday. It wns
wired from New York that millers thcro
had bought 250,000 bu. of No. i ! red winter
nnd had tnhon 760.000 bu. of No. 1 northern
nt f.30. At IlufTalo It was also reported
that exporters had taken 18 boatloads be
sides of No. 2 spring for Immediate loading.
This rent the prlco up % c after May had
touched 68c and the close was but ! 6c from
the top. Fine weather nnd discouraging
cables had previously kept the prlco down.
Miiy corn closed Vic lower , May oats lie
lower and provisions lower all around.
Wheat was very dull. There was nothing
to enliven It. 1'revlous conditions wcro un
changed at the opening and up to within an
hour of the close there was no fresh news
of sufficient weight to turn the scale of gen
eral opinion. Liverpool markets were dull
nt unchanged prices. The weather was still
favorable hero nnd the receipts and ship
ments did not vary nufllcleiitly from the re
cent dally average to disturb either shorts
or longs. Chicago receipts worn 31 cars ,
compared with 195 a year ago. Minneapolis
nnd IJuluth reported a total of 209 cars , com
pared with 271 on the corresponding day of
last year.
A good Inquiry for cath : wheat at New
York , both from shippers and millers , was
reported there and Minneapolis and Duluth
opinion continued of the name bullish tenor
UK ever. The exports from the four Atlantic
ports amounted In wheat nnd flour together
to 515,000 bu. , mid when reported gave a
llttio support to prices. New York estimated
n decrease In the visible supply for the week
of 1,750,000 bu. , and those who are In the
habit of estimating It hero made n similar
guess. The opcnlm ; prlca for May was 5Sc ,
nnd It ruled between that nnd 68c up to
within twenty minutes of the close. The
bulk of the day's transactions wcro at SjUfco
nnd 5SVic. Reports received from New York
Just before the close advised the purchase at
Duluth by New York millers of 75,000 bu. of
No. 1 northern , while 220,000 bu. were bought
here for the immediate loading. The latter
was nil No. 2 spring and closed the market
tip strong at GS'.fcc , but dull.
Corn was weak after n short spoil of
steadiness near the opening. The receipts
lor the day were 261 cars , against 285 esti
mated , but estimates for tomorrow amounted
to 370 cars , which was a weakening Influence
nnd was Instrumental In bringing nbout the
decline which succeeded the early steadiness.
The opening for May was 37dc ; and It had
declined to 37c by nbout 12:30. : The mar
ket strengthened toward the close In sym
pathy with wheat and May was worth 37r/bO
at the close.
Uut a very light business was transacted
In oats. The market was somewhat lower ,
influenced by the fine weather which has
Increased the receipts and also by the de
cline In corn. Very little stuft was offered
nnd buyers worefew. . Trading was equally
local and mostly by scalpers. Today's ar
rivals amounted to 14 cars more than were
expected yesterday. Mny opened from J&c
toic under yesterday's price , at 30sc ; to
31c and sold gradually down to 30'/ic. The
market firmed up slightly before the close.
May sold up at 30c and was offered at SOVic
nt the end. Hess was reported to have
bought freely.
1'rovlslons opened firm at n Blight advance
In prices. The International and the Chicago
1'acklng company were fair sellers at the
opening. The packers generally reported a
fair Inquiry for cash meats. There was some
decline on the soiling and buyers held aloof ,
apparently expecting lower prices. The mar-
kct backed down and filled a little during
the day and acted fairly steady after the
first decline , until George Goodwin , about
lialf an hour from the close , made one of his
characteristic raids , which had the effect of
Knocking 20c off the price of pork In a few
minutes. Closing prices were near the bet
tom. Compared with last night , May pork
Is 15c lower , May lard , 60 lower , and May
rlb3 , 5c lower.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat ,
' 47 cars : corn , 370 cars ; oats , 270 cars ; hogs ,
12,000 head.

NKW YORK , Mnrch 10. Despite the en
gagement of $1,250,000 In Roltl for shipment
to England tomorrow nnd the grent proba
bility of the signing of the sclgnlorngo bill
by the president , the stock market wns
strong nnd n higher rnngo of prices wna es
tablished throughout the entire nctlvo Hat
nnd In nil but a few of the specialties traded
In. The Belgnlurago measure wns the subject
of much conjecture nnd the tlnnnclnl com
munity of the city seems to be n unit ngalnst
It , but the gold exports wcro not n factor of
the speculative situation nt nil nnd the great
est advance was mndc just nfter the projected
shipments were reported. There wna nt no
time u very grcnt pressure to sell. At the
opening prices were mostly a fraction higher
than the closing flgurcs of yesterday.
Cordage wns notably strong on a report
Hint the United Htntcs Cordage compnny had
entered Into nn agreement with the National
Cordngo company by which the Interests of
the latter were materially benefited. This
apparently well founded statement Induced
purchases of the shares of the National com
pany , causing them to rnpldly advance. In
the early dealings the general list advanced
% to ? i per cent. A slight reaction was soon
made , but the speculation recovered Its'toiie
nnd nn upward movement began , which con
tinued In force up to midday , nn Improve
ment belnu recorded of U to 214 I > or cent.
After noon the trading became very slug
gish nnd some few shares declined n small
fraction , but the mnrkct was generally hold
firmly until nbout 1:30 : o'clock , when n small
raid was miido on Chicago Gas , which ro-
Biilteil In n decline of small fractions. The
downward tendency of prlcts was of brief
duration and during the last hour specula
tion , although dull , was very strong. The
mnrkct closed flrm nt or near the highest
prlco touched.
The bond market was generally firm
throughout the day.
The Post rays : As n result of the week's
continued high level of foreign exchange
rates , $1,2.10,000 In gold was ordered today
for shipment , by tomorrow's European
steamer. Itathcr to the curprlso of Wall
street this consignment will bo made to
London. This Is the first shipment to
England on exchange since Juno of 1S03.
U will be to all Intents and purposes a
regular commercial operation In exchange.
It Is true that In the recent dull sterling
market It had been hard for bankers to
find a market for drafts broad enough lo
admit gold shipments at a profit. The
margin nt best was close and the chances
of u reaction In rates , In case the sales
were pressed , have been considerable. It
Is hardly probable that the passage ot the
selgnlorago bill had Immediate Influence on
today's gold order. Tomorrow's gold Is
supplied , moreover , without recourse to the
federal treasury , which Is reassuring.

NEW YORK , March 10. II. 0. Dun
Co.'s Weekly TraJo Review says : Trices of
commodities ! nro tltls week , on the whole ,
the lowest of which there Is nny record ,
having declined 1.2 per cent In March and
averaging 11.3 per cent lower than n year
ago , so that more than a third of the In-
creaEu In the volume of all payments Is duo
to the decline In prices of things con
sumed. Six more Iron furnaces have gone
Into blast this month , In part because prices
of finished products arc a shade lower , and
further contracts liavo thus been secured.
1'lttsburg gets the lion's share and has. most
of Its works In operation , cheaper freights
having helped this week , with lower wages
and coke , and contracts for Mcsaba ore at
$2.25. The Illinois Steel works are nbout
to rcsumo In part , having secured orders
for rails , but at the cast rails are Inactive
and deliveries everywhere are the lowest
for many years. Cheapness of material
and labor stimulates the erection of many
buildings , both east and west.
In women's dress goods , It Is Judged from
sales of wool , the business Is about thrcc-
fourtjis of tlm usual magnitude , serges
being In better demand ; but In men's goods
not more than a quarter of the usual orders
for fall trade have yet been received. The
demand la so large that sales of wool again
exceed last year , -1,351,700 pounds for the
week , against 3a-IS,20U lust year , and for the
month thus far the Increase has been about
1,900,000 pounds , though In February the
decrease was 21.3 per cent. Cotton goods
are generally steady. The volume of Busi
ness represented by all clearings this week
Is 31.2 per cent less than a year ago , and at
all cities outside New York 21.4 per cent
less , against 17.4 per cent last week.
Railroad earnings make a better compar
ison , falling but 10.G per cent below last
year for the first week of March , against
13.7 per cent In February , but the gain Is In
part because the trunk lines have cut rates
and secured , for the first week In a Ions
time , a larger eastbound movement than was
recorded a year ago. The westbound move
ment Is also larger In dry goods and gro
ceries.
Speculation In products Is somewhat tame ,
though pork and lard have declined sharply ,
while corn Is held steadily , with receipts 40
per cent larger than a year ago. Wheat has
been depressed by the department report
that 44,000,000 bushels remained In farmers'
hands on March 1 , indicating very great
errors In estimates of yield , or else a heavy
decrease In consumption. Cotton has de
clined a shade and estimates of the crop are
about 7,500,000 bales. In place of 0,400,000
bales reported not long ago.
Failures for the first week of March were
few , with liabilities thus far reported of
only $2,0253S. : ! of 'which $ S1C,2S4 were of
manufacturing and $1,101,270 of trading con
cerns. Owing to large deferred statements
received too late for us last week , the ag
gregate of liabilities for February have been
raised to $17,895,070. The number of fail
ures this week Is 261 In the United States ,
against 190 last year , and fifty-five In Can
ada , against thirty'Just year. The absence
of Important embarrassments Is still most
encouraging. '

CertiTnLin ; < 'H of Trade.
NEW YORK , March 1C. liradstrcet's re
view of the state of trade tomorrow will
say : The unusual prolongation of mild ,
spring-like weather during the early portion
of March has greatly stimulated consump
tive demand in almost all staple lines. Corroboration -
roboration of this is found In almost unani
mous reports of Increased sales from six of
the larger distributing points In the New
England and middle states , where general
trade has heretofore been reported barely
steady. At Tlttsburg and Chicago and other
Iron centers competition has further reduced
prices for shaped , as well as raw Iron and
steel. Chicago renorts a continuance of Inst
week's very favorable statement regarding
trade , this week having been the best thus
far In the season , with many buyers in the city
and come dry goods houses working nights to
keep up with orders. Dealers In clothing ,
millinery and such report a heavier demand ,
although there is an Improvement in request
for light hardware as well. Similar advices
are received from St. Louis Jobbers of dry
goods , mllllnary , hats and shoes , and at Kan
sas City , although sales of paints , oils and
building materials are quite active , the total
Is 25 per cent smaller than n year ago.
London wool sales are to close today , and
takings for the United States are consider
able. The stimulated demand for whole
sale dry goods results In an over sale of
ginghams , and prices are 'A cent higher ,
although It has taken concessions on some
cotton goods to move them. Prices of lead-
lug staples nt the close of this week and last
Indicate similar Irregularity , wheat being 1
cent lower , pork and lord each 25 cents
lower , and cotton Is oft % cent. Indian
corn advanced % cent , oats % cent and
coffee \d cent , while the price of sugar Is
unchanged In eastern markets. If to the
government report of 114,000,000 bushels of
wheat In farmers' hands March 1 i > o added
117,000,000 bushels of wheat out of farmers'
hands , the result , 231,000,000 bushels , will
supply food and seed for four months to
come , a reserve on July next of 40.000,000
bushels , and , If required , 10,000,000 bushels
a month for export , which Is more than will
be demanded. Exports of wheat ( flour In
cluded ) to both coasts of the United States
and Canada this week equal 3,255,000
bushels , against 2,851,000 bushels last week ,
2,886,000 bushels In the week n year ago ,
2,018,000 bushels In the week In 1892 and as
compared with the 2,733,000 bushels In the
week In 1S91.

NEW YORK. March 10. Hradstrcet's re
view of the New .York stock markets says :
The expected passagg of the Ulaml seignior
age bill has been , -aj leading factor In con
nection with the stock markets this Week.
The adoption of the' bill by the senate was
' '
fully anticipated , { ts effect being shown
mainly by the rprt'jwoil tone of hesitation
and the marked' falling oft In public In
terest. The market throughout was much
quieter than thut ot last week , although
prices have not rfWflcd very materially , the
underlying tone of' strength being asserted
In the fact of a rcnpwal of bearish efforts to
create a depresslqn.mil , In some Instances ,
particularly nmong , the low priced railroad
shares , a dlsposltlnji to advance has been
noticed. The strength of exchange created
the usual anticipations of gold shipment , but
the demand for the1 bill seems to be proportionately
tionately as light as the supply of com
mercial drawings , and another week passed
without the announcement of any
gold engagements until Friday , when
$1,250.000 were token. In the
early part of the week London purchased
small amounts of stock , apparently to cover
shorts , but has shown llttlo other Interest
In this market. One of the chief reasons
for the hesitation which the market exhib
its Is the fear that the adoption of such
a concession to silver sentiment as the lllaii'J
bill will be unfavorably received abroad , and
may , In the sensitive condition of the foreign
market , create an actively adverse sentlmont
there In regard to our financial position ,
The characteristics of the market through ,
out have been of a negative kind , a noticeable -
able feature being the suspension of activity
In Sugar , which stock has been compura.
tlvely neglected or subordinated to the move ,
nient of the general market , and has played
a somewhat leus conspicuous part an &
factor. The market continues to show an In
creased disposition to respond to railway
news and dividend prospects. The market
on Friday , though dull , was firm on the ex
pectation that a presidential veto will pre *
vent the Bland bill from becoming u. law ,

Sheep Market firm.
FRIDAY , March 1 .
The market on beef and shipping cattle
was not In very good condition , an undercur
rent of weakness pervading the trade from
start to finish. Some of the best cattlu of nil
weights sold pretty close to steady prices ,
while grades on which there was n lack ol
competition wore hard to niova at prices
weak to n dime lower. The market wns
Irregular and uneven nnd closed dull.
Choice cows and heifers sold pretty nearly
steady , while Inferior grades wcro also slow
sale nt prices generally 5c to lOc lower. At
the close of business , however , the pens were
pretty well cleared of all offerings.
The market on stackers and feeders wan
quite satisfactory again , trade lively and
prices steady to strong on nil suitable
grades. Representatives sales :
