CHICAGO , March 7. An unexpected In-
crcasj In stocks nlloiit hutl a depressing
fcffeot on wheat today nnd May closed with
u loss of * , &ftc. Corn und oats closed u
uliadp lower. Pork und lard are unchanged
nnd r.Jis 2',4c lower.
There wis a show of strength In wheat ot
tlio opening as a result of firmness nt Liv
erpool on account of reported damage to the
Argentine wheat from continuous rains.
Another str''iigthenlng factor wns the news
from California repeating ystcrday's ex
pressions of apprehension - concerning the
winter plant In thnt state. May opened ' , stT
Vi' ' higher ut 72f(72',4c ( and touched 72' , .c .
but then started to * ng. Chlcaso got 22 cars
u alnst 7 earn a your ago , und Mlnncnp-
ells and Uuluth received 551 cars , compared
with ? JI the sumo day last week and tiX ( > last
year.
So long ns a ccrtiiln class of traders sec
daily receipts sutllclent for current events
and tire muured of sutllcunt reserves In
farmers' hands to Insure a continuance of
dollvurlus commensurate with any probable
demand , they sell short heedless of any
thing threatening the comliiB crop. ] twas
this selling that soon depressed prices after
the opening and May declined to 7ic. When
Homo outside buying orders came on the
market , howv r. it caused an undercurrent
of approhfnslcm concerning the winter
wheat conditions uniting short sellers and
In an endeavor to buy back the whaut sold
earlier the price quickly regalnsd the V4c
decllno from the opening figure.
The primary western market receipts
amounted to KC.OoO bushels , against 529,000
tnish Is the previous year. Atlantic port
clearances were comparatively small , whnat
nd Hour together amounting to only 370.-
000 bushels. BrndHtrect's report of visible
supply showed 3,2-50,000 bushels Increase for
the week , whereas n decrease of 1,000.000
bush 'Is had been expected. This gave the
bears the leverage they needed and the
jnarkot was vigorously attacked , May wheat
dpcllnliiB to 71c. Tlie closing prlco

Corn showed moderate strength early , due
to the fact that the market had become
largely oversold. Later , however , when
wheat showed radical wt-aKnes ? a decline
set In. IlncclptH were 523 cars , considerably
under the estimate. M.iy opened He higher
nt 33Siff.TGe. rose to 'Mo then declined to
35Hc , the closing llgure.
Oats were weak and lower on account of
rather free sales by commission houses
against purchases of corn. Receipts were
very large , 312 cars. May began MiC higher
nt 271ic nnd declined to 27 ? c , the closing
Continued light receipts of hogs nnd largo
flhlpments of mcnts exerted a strengthening
Influence In provisions at the start. The ad-
vonro was all lost near the close on scat
tered selling. Shipment * amounted to 4.7SC.-
000 pounds meats and 2,733.000 pounds lard.
Jlay pork opened 7Hc hlsher at $9.32 > 6 , VOSK

OIMSUATIONS IN STOCKS AM ) UOMJS.
InvcNtorn Hold On to Their Stock * and
Market HCCOIIU-M Dull.
NEW YORK , March 7.-The stock market
today In the llnal dealings rcovered earlier
losses nnd ended strong and higher than
yesterday.
There wns nn effort on the part of the
professionals to depress prices In the early
dealings , which was successful only tem
porarily , and to a moderate extent. Invest
ors generally held onto their stocks and the
mnrkt became exceptionally dull.
The rate for call money , which In the Ini
tial transactions touched 3'b , with an ac
companying easier tone In the sterling ex
change market , eased off with the last loan
nt 2H- . with a resultant bett = r tone in the
general market. It was said that because
of yesterday's Hurry in call money n consid
erable amount of unemployed country bank
balances wns expected to Da transferred to
New York this week. The dealings for the
entire day were less than 500,000 nnd except
for the opening and closing dealings tlio
ticker was practically silent nt Intervals.
The dealings for London account were ot
small volume with a hardening tendency nt
the close and about the best prices of the
day on the curb. Third Avenue Railroad
lost about 0 points on the public limitation
against the electric lines already on a prom
inent nvenue. The grangers , some other
standard stocks and the Paclllcs were even
more prominent on the rise than In the ear
lier weakness. The anthracites , except Lack-
awanna and Rubber , were strong because
of the snow < torni and the cold weather.
Forocnsts of General Electrlc's annual re
port being favorable strengthened that
stock. A number of the specialties , includ
ing People's Gas , rose easily.
Reports that the Chicago & Alton was
planning to use Chicago Terminal facilities
brought out speculative ivtlvlty in the lat
ter. There was much difference of opinion
on the board regarding the dividend tomor
row on Sugar. With the general expecta
tion of the regular disbursement it closed
at the best prices.
Considerable firmness developed in varl.
ous spots In the bond market , but this ten
dency was in a measure offset by heaviness
In others. Total sales , $ : ! ,143,000. United
States 3s and the old Is , registered , de
clined ' /4 and the now 4s % In the bid price.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says : The markets here
were uninteresting and dull today. Uneasi
ness was caused by fear of Russian ad
vances In Chlnn and of gold shipments to
America. Coppers' were weak ; Tlntos were
3S11-16 ; Anacondas , 8 % : Utahs. 5fi7'4 ;
nostons , 2 3-lG'iI2. Americans opened dull ,
dropped sharply bsforo nuon , then rose .on
small bidding for the coalers. New York
did nothing at ilrst , but finally bought a
few coalers. The close was strong and above
the worst. Central Paclllcs were particu
larly Hat. Spanislv 4s were BS'A ; 18,000 gold
wa ' taken for Peru. Board of Trade r-
turns show exports Increased 9.S per cent ;
Imports decreased .5.

CATTLK Buyer.0 wire out In good season
this morning and they were not long In
picking up all the desirable kinds of corn-
fed steers , paying for uch good steady or
.even llrm prices. The great majority ot the
cattle , however were trashy , common to
medium kinds , just such cattle ns no one
likes to aee at any market. Such cattle
were slow sale and buyers had to take them ,
under protest as it were , and the bulk sold
in Hood season. Some pretty good black
cattle brought $1.90 , and an odd steer or two
that was rally good Sold up to $5.25.
There was a. fair supply of cows and
heifers and the market was In a healthy
condition , the offerings for the most part
changing hands In good season. Bulls and
stags also sold In the same old notches and
veal calves , as usual this season , were good
sellers at the prices given bolow.
Only a few atockers and feeders were In
the yards nnd good thin yearling Mockers
wore active sellers at steady prices. One
bunch of that kind brought Jl.Sa. There
were quite a good many wanned up and
half fat cattle in the yards that might havu
gone to the feeders , but the demand did not
appear to be very strong for that kind and
the packers hud to buy them.
The receipts today footed up ninety-one
cars , aa against 149 one week ago and scv-
enty-aix cars two weeks ago. Representa

HOGS Tlie market opened about Sc hlRher
and was active at the advance until about
sixty loadb1 had changed hands , then thu in
difference of one or two of tlie larger buy
er * caused it to slow up. The big strlnu , I
however , Bold early anil the market to thin
extent was entirely satisfactory. The close
was rlow and 2'jc lower. Llsht and light
mixed loads went larKely nt SG.S'i iiiXCO and
the heavier mixed loads at J3.COftJ.C2H ! . Yet-
terday , It will be romeinhoied that the llKht
and light mixed load * sold ut $3.S2 > < , fi3.5) .
Tlie best heuvy hags told at 3.C5ft3.70 , with
a piece of n luad at J3.72H. Some Oregon
hogs that would be described us heavy

' '
served thnt thf top today was considerably
more than Sc hinder than yesterday , but
that was due to the better quality of the ,
hofin on sole. It wua remarked yesterday
thnt hml there been any good hog lion *
they would undoubtedly have sold up to
$1.63 nt least.
From the tnldr of average prices nt head
of column It will bo noted thnt the market
today was a shade higher than 11 was on
Tuesday of Inst week and thnt the decline
of Friday mid Saturday has been made up.
Another thins thnt will be noted from the
Ilibles nt head of column Is thnt the re
ceipts so far this week show n considerable
falling off as compared with last week , but
not much difference as compared with pre
vious weeks. Representative f lfs ;

SHEEP The story of today's market Is
easily told It was a steady and fairly ac
tive market on all kinds nnd the bulk of tliu
off.rlngp changed hands In good season.
Western lambs sold up to J4.70 , the same
ns was paid for the good lambs here yes
terday. Some good native wether lambs
sold to a packer at $ I.SO. while n breeder
paid $4.90 for some ewe lambs. Sheep were

SANTIAGO OR OUHA , Feb. 2S. The com-
plexlon of political affairs In the provlnc *
of Santiago 1ms been gradtinlly cliaiigliiif
slnco the bcglnnltiR of January. This Is duo
to more than OMB cause , but the main reason
Is probably the fact that the people them
selves nro out of sympathy with nnythliiB
even n benefaction that conies to them
through Havana. Men , who u few short
weeks ngo were enthusiastically In favor of
annexation , are today talking about declar
ing \vnr against thu United States if th
troops are not removed from the Island by
July 1.
The business men of Santiago nro very
Blum over the condition of affairs nnd say
It Is Impossible for people to Invest any
largo Bums of money In the Island until suina
form of government Is established nnd that
for Cuba to bo an Independent republic
would mean the utter ruin of the Island ,
even supposing that the Cubans wore better
able to govern themselves than any people
In the world , for , nt ono blow , the suRnr In
dustry would be annihilated , ns the United
States Is In possession of I'orto Hlco on ono
sldo and of Hawaii on the other , that are
two sugnr-producltiK Islands , and the sugar
from these places would go Into the United
States free of duty , whereas on the best
terms the sugar of Cuba unless the Island
were annexed would have to pay some duty
and would bo entirely unable to compels
"
with that of the other islands.
\VlXllll 1'lt'IINV (
i Herr Schumann , German consul hero nnd
nn Influential business man , says that noth
ing" would plcaso Germany more than for
Cuba to become Independent , because It
, would mean that they would still bo able ,
with their beet sugar , to hold their own In
the United States.
He believes that Cuba has great possi
bilities before It. lie likes the people of
Cuba , but from n 'buslnees ' point of view
he thinks it Is impossible for the Island to
succeed In any way unless annexed to the
United States. 'Ho says the politicians do
not seem to realize anything but that there
would be a treasury for them to dip their
hands In , but do not scorn to realize that
the treasury must bo kept up for the beat
Interests of the country.
Many merchants hero nro outspoken ,
many being favorable ito the Cubans getting
homo rule the snmo as any state in the union
has ; .that they ought to have the right to
govern themselves In the matters of local
taxation , clecMcns nnd everything of Iliat
nature. But It is absolutely Impossible In
Santiago to find any man of business stand
ing , any man who owns any largo amount
of land or any man of intelligence who does
not say that he is strongly in favor of an
nexation to the United States , not ns a mat
ter of sentiment , but ns < a matter ot purely
' business common sense , though many of
t'hem ' agreed that had I'orto Rico and Hawaii
mot been annexed they would have been In
favor of Cuba being an Independent repub
lic.
1 Many thousands of men have gradually
drifted Into the city expecting work. This ,
however , it was Impossible to supply them
with , for 'tho ' work that was to have been
given them had 'to suspended , owing to
the complaint from Havana that the esti
mates are very large for this provlnco , alI -
I though $50,000 of the revenue of the last
month was sent to Havana.
CIIIIHU of HlHliiKT DlNNitflnfiicUoii.
The work on roadmaklng on an extcnslvo
scale has practically been stopped and the
dredging of the harbor and numerous Im
provements that were Intended have had to
bo delayed on 'this ' account. These are Im
provements that would bo of lasting value
to the city and would give work lo thousand *
that would nialto the people contented mid
prosperous.
