CHICAGO , Mnrcli B. The ndvanco or leper
per bit. In wheat today WAS entirely duo to
tlio Increnslng iiosslblllty of war In Europe.
Ilio tnnrhct wns strotiR nil dny , prnctlcnlly
nil tlio bear clrcumstancea bclnff a lock of
slilppliiK dcmnnd. All tlio other markets
were affected to n greater or less ilesrcc ,
corn ndvnticltiR He , oats ! 4a nnd provisions
Hulls In wheat hnil nil Kinds of news to
encourage them nt the opening , The flrst
cables from Liverpool showed nn advances
of $ 'iHl nml Urlllch consols were lower ,
the notion In those cnses being , of course ,
duo to the further complications over Crete ,
These Indications of Increased uneasiness
abroad obscured every matter of routlno
news at lite opening. The next most 1m-
portnnt olcco of Intelligence wns the pre
diction sent out by the signal service otllce
that the rainy wealhcr of today would be
succeeded tonlRht by n c-old wave , which
was already en route. May wns wanted at
TSVif/TBlSc , nn compared with yesterday s
closing prlco of 75V4f/7i > % e , and Immediately
advanced to "fi c. Then the only Important
reaction of the day occurred. Tlio Inter
Liverpool cables reported from Uflvid re-
notion from the opening prlco of futures.
New York wired that only a few loads ot
last night's olters by cable had been ac
cepted , nlthough In the course of the fore
noon the number wns said to have been
fifteen carloads. The figures of the move
ment for tlio last twenty-four hours -rave no
encouragement to buyers. Minneapolis and
Dultith received 298 cars , compared wll/h 13'J '
a week .ago nnd .131 the name day of the
year before. Chicago-recclpls were very
ptnall , Iho number of cars Insncetcd being
onlyslxteen , compared with forty-six a year
4iuo. Atlantic port exports of whuat and
flour equaled n.0,000 bu. Estimates upon the
decrease In the visible ! for the ' .vrck were
cloHP nround l.OOO.COO bu. The prlco of May
gradually worked down to 7,1c , reaching
that point whortly before 12 o'clock. Clos
ing cables had In the meantime been re
ceived , which nave spot wheat nt Liverpool
lV.ilhigher for the day and the war fever
broke out afresh. Disquieting news poured
In from the enst , many of the foreign
houses advising that war was Imminent and
beara who had the temerity to hold out during
ing- the early bulco fled to cover , the price
rising -lo .the highest of the day , "il'jic. It
wns In demand at that prise at the close.
Corn developed Into n decidedly large
market. The burning of the MK I'eorln ele
vator compelled a good deal of sledging ,
although the European situation was at the
bottom'of the strength. There wns only one
weak spot , realizing shortly nfter the openIng -
Ing causing iv reaction , but prices at no
time got to yesterday's level. Exports were
57.000 ! ) bu. May opened Ic higher nt 24'ic ,
Bold between ZHMflMVlc and 2I5&C , closing
firm at the top.
In oats , except for a sur.plclon . of easiness
which existed for a few minutes directly
nfter tne start , the feeling1 wns strong dur
ing the entire session. Sympathy with
wheat nnd corn was the conductor of the
liettcr feeling. Shorts covered generally ,
t'horo being considerable buying against the
J'oorla lire loss. May opened VHC higher at
17Wc , sold a shade lower and advanced to
17Wfl7c. where It closed.
There was an active Irndo In provisions
nnd a strong market , small hog receipts
nnd war news resulted In a good opening
mlvance , but offerings were sulllclent to
cause a reaction. The demand became very
heavy later In the day , .the Cudahys being
especially large buyers , and prices advanced
( ipaln , closing strong at the top. At the
nlbso May pork was 12c } higher at { S.Tj ,
May lard Be higher nt $4.20 and May ribs
7' , < 'C higher at $ -I.37'i.
The estimated receipts for Saturday are :

NEW YORK. March B.-U. O. Dun &

will say :
The Mow nn.l gradual Improvement a.1"
Tor tome time Ims contlmieJ during the
week , and without material check. There ,
bettor dcmnnd for most pioducts. on the wholo.
with continuance of speculative buying In some ,
notably in wool , bccnuso of expected duties.
Reports of probable need nbrond hnve helped
speculation In wheat somewhat. It hns risen
nbout 3 cents , though the prlcu Is Hill lower
tlmn two weeks ago. Corn la a cent stronger ,
about the lirlce of two weeks ngn. Westciii re
ceipts of wheat nrc still small. 1.S.9.S21 bushels.

compensate largely. If not wholly , for any ile-
crcnsa In wheat , amounting In the week ti >
2,7f,9.73l bushels ( suit ports not Included ) nsnlnst
1,104,390 last year , reckoning ! hnlf a bushel of
corn for one bushel of wheat. The grain supply
of other countries continues much larger tliati
n yenr ago. Cotton Ims declined He , and with
good reason , for although receipts from plnntH.
tloni fall off , the decrease Is not greater than
the decrease In consumption owing to stoppage
of mlllii. As there Is comparatively little cot.
ton available In the country , the niaiket Is very
convenient for Fpeculutors to manipulate. \ \ hllo
many of the mills have Flopped production or
cotton goods for a time , the recent outlook Is
on the whole unchanged and the demand for
Roods does not Improve , while print cloths are tt
shade lower. The mills accumulated stocks fai-
st excess of the actual demand during most of
the dullness and their enforced restriction nt
this time Is merely paying a debt. The demand
for wool has diminished , though only a little ,
and sales are quiet , n third more than the full
consumption of all mills , It all weie at work ,
but I the speculative buying continues , and at
th ? three chief m.tiltets In live weeks has cov
ered 4C.21G.7CO pound ? , against 28,017,400 In Iho
same Weeks of 1M2.
Western holder * are too stiff for eastern pur
chasers and the buying of domestic wool baa
slackened. Although tonic more mills have gone
Ititn operation the courpo of the market has not
favored great activity , but It may be said that
for goods of the higher class there Is a better
demand than heretofore.
While the demand for HcBsemcr pig has sus
tained the recent advance to 110.75 per
ton at IMttrburg and gray forge Is still quoted
at } ! UO there , and there Is aim lefs cutting ot
price. * to get more business In llnlslK'd products ,
the general range of prices still continues vcr >
low. Them Is less evidence of eastern mills
selling rails below J20 except for c.sport , rales
of that character having been mnde nt J1S.
Western makers arc said to be firm nt $21 per
ton , but the demands of the most Important rail
ways have been supplied for the present , the
consumers of billets arc not In the market Just
now , but with the somewhat larger product of
pig Iron , It may be doubted whether , outside of
rails , the demand for Ilnlnlied products cqu
the capacity of the works.
Failure * show but slight Increase over those
of 1S96 or U 3 , and but little decrease compared
with 1S9I. The feature of special Interest , Is the
conservatism In trading Indicated by the liabil
ities of trading failures In nearly every branch
of business , contrasted with the slight Increase
of liabilities of manufacturing failures.

NI5W YOUK , March C. The undertone of
firmness In the market today , nnd Its stubborn
resistance to the rather discouraging tone re
flected from ICurope were notable features. The
day opened nlth n decline , duo to the alarm
manifested on the London and continental
bourses over the threatening at peel ot the Crotnn
iiututlon , and to cnles for London account ot
International shares. This decline waa soon
checked , however , quite a strong buying move
ment coming through commission houses , appar
ently for Investment account. The natural dis
position of the market seemed to be to rise and
to wipe out the decline of yesterday , which Is
attributed generally today to reaction and profit-
taking. There wan , In fact , n general advance
In prices which held for the greater pait of the
day , but very few shares attained the level of
yesterday morning before the decline. Much
the same Influences contributed to the rise as
early lu the \veek , the Vamlerbllts being In ex
cellent demand. Nerf York Central especially
was stronu. The shares rose Iti per cent to 93.
Lake Shore gained 2J4 per cent , and Northwest
ern and Omaha Hi per cent each. The highest-
priced Investment stocks also tecovcrcd part of
the loss of yesterday , Omaha preferred nnd
Northwestern preferred , New Ha\en and Chicago
cage & Alton gaining 1 to 2 per cent. The
grangers also , and. In fact , the whole railway
list , with few exceptions , Bhured In the advantage
given to prices by the strong upward tendency
of the Vandei bills , and rose strongly. Commis
sion hoiwe orders extended over a wide range of
shares , and gave variety of the market. Of
the granger group , Hock Island showed an ad
vance of l'l per cent ; Northwestern gaining an
equal llgurc. Burlington rose 1 per cent , and
rit. Paul ; J per cent , tiie latter In the face of
heavy London celling. An estimated aggregate
of sales for London account of 20,000 shares
credited fully one-third of that amount to St.
Paul. Louisville & Nashville was alyo heavily
sold on London account , nnd showed less re
sistance than St. Paul.nnd finally declined Hi
per cent The Industrials showed strength and
had apparently recoi-prcd , from the alarm over
President MfcKlnleyV tiust utterances. Sugar
advanced li per ccm 'OfleaRO Oas , 1 per cent ;
Leather preferred. 111 per cent , and General
Ulectrlc , with exceptionistrength , IV per cent
on reports of growing business. Manhattan and
New Jersey Central , Jccentlj- the special tar
gets for bear attacks , liri.'irovcd 1 to l'i points ,
respectively. Kans.ib A'Texas preferred gained
1 per cent. Even the anthracite coal group dis
played more strength tUaui of late. Tills en
couraging profiess pfovfjnt8 was retarded about
1:30 : o'clock by a movement to take profits. The
continued sales of ftdndu'n orders added to the
weight of the ordcriC . ' There was also In the
minds of the traders sonje expressed uneasiness
to hear some more explicit and authoritative an-
rouiic't'ment of the new'uj-esldent's Cuban policy
than has yet been fttre i'nnd to wait for this
development. The iTecisslons from the high
level were quite sjwrp.tfunder these Influencs ,
Manhattan yielding 1i > ir cent ; Sugar. 1 per
cent ; New York Centra ) ; 1 per cent ; St. I'aul
& Omahn.'l per centPPuilman , 2',4 pefcerit , and
many other .shares , imfable fractions. liay
State Gas. especially , depressed on fears of lia
bility for damages caufecd by yesterday's subway
explosion' In Boston. The undertone of firm
ness In the marker 'wall' Indicated by the Imme
diate relapse Into-dullness when the downward
trend of prices was established. The closing
was weak , but prices generally showed a Blight
net gain on the day. *
The demand for hlRh-grade mortgages continues
unabated , and today'u market wltnesccd material
gains In n variety of these Issues. The St. Paul
lltns were unusually prominent nnd displayed
the most aggressive strength ; the Improvements

also In favor and moved up plight ! ) * , dei-pltc the
free offerings for continental account. The sales
were tl,478.000 , Governments were In good de
mand , and hardened slightly on purchases of
JIE5.000.
The Kvenlng Poet's London financial cable i
gram says : "The stock markets recovered &
further decline on politics today. The best In
formed people ullll believe that n European war
will be averted , but the situation lu admitted
to bo critical. Consols closed nt the lowest , 111

caused no little comment , tut It was not rejanKM
as a bull factor. Prices of Americans , there
fore , gave way on the New York lend , but mill.
Eequcntly rose again , closing Vte to y per cent
above the worst , New York having ah-
sorbed the shares offered. Galen seriously Inter-
mpt communication with the continent. The
Paris bourse was weak , nnd one falurc resulted
from the heavy falling Greek and Turkish at

the t'nliin. '
There was an exceptionally large atten
dance at tlio regular meeting of Central
Uibor union last night nnd as most ot tlio
delegates had something to say the session
w 3 protracted until nearly midnight. The
enl .fcaturo of the meeting \\hlch Interrupted
the othctwUc harmonious proceedings was
an effort onttho part of the delegates from
Carpenters' nnd Jolnera' union No. 427 to
secure the expulsion of the rcproscnlnllvw
of the Western Laborer , This was on ac
count of the recent attacks on members of
the union by the publication mentioned and
the matter came up In the shape of nn offi
cial request from the union. Tlic matter
was rather sharply debated and an amend
ment wns added that nil prws rercscnatlvrvi | ) (
lie exclude 1 , There was only etta vote In
favor of the amendment , nnd Delegates
Schrubol nnd Kerrlftan from the carpenter's
union were the only onset who voted for the
original motion. So the offending pnpcr won
out by a wlilc margin and matters became
monotonous again.
The following delegates were admitted lo
th 5 union : A. I < . Jordan , Amos Williams and
Oscar Cook , from Cooper's union No. 10 of
South Omaha ; II. Ungman , R W. Uttlott
and C. Christiansen from Clgarmaker'a
union No. C'of South Omaha , nud L. T.
Foreman , John Kent nnd Thomas fly mi from
number's union No. 10 of Omaha.
T. J. Heard addressed the union on the
subject of department stores. He vigorously
denounced those CDtnhl'shmonts ' nml asked
for the support of organized labor In thn
effort that the Hctaller's association was
about to make to Induce the city council
to levy a heavy occupation tax.
1'rcd M. Youngs submlUed a detailed report
of what he had accomplished as n member
ot the board of directors ot the Transmls-
slsslppl I-\pot\ltoii \ ! association In securing
n clause providing that laborers should ro-
cclve at least $1.50 a day lu the exposition
bill.
bill.In
In reply to n reeant communication from
the union the Knights of Ak-sar-boi ) sub
mitted a statement that they proposed to
employ Omaha labor ns far as porslblo In
the construction ot their floats and other
matters connected with their next demon
stration.
Resolutions In memorial ot the death ot
W. S. SobrltiK were reported by the com
mittee and adopted.
The question ot a change In the represen
tation ot the local unions was again brought
up and once more snowed under. This waa
the resolution which provided that each
union should have ono delegate In the cen
tral body for each twenty-five members In
good standing , Instead of having three dele
gates from each union as at present. The
resolution was defeated by an overwhelming
vote.
The sacrctary was Instructed to notify the
Douglas county representatives that the
union had decided that the present ex
emption lawa were bolter than the new
bill that Is now before the legislature.
The matter ot Inducing Governor Holcom ! )
to appoint ono of the six exposition commla-
slonors from 'the Central Labor union wan
made a. cpcclal order for next Friday night.
