The provisions market opened nucha used, but the development of a good cash de mand, both domestic and export, together with light offerings ami tho strength of Kruln, caused a rally and some activity.

March s.-The market was practically relieved today of all disturbing factors In tho way of acute weakness of special stoiks. Reports nil continued favorable- regarding the outlook for values, but the demand for stocks was almost un nppreclable. liven the small buying for In vestment, based on large enrnlngs of rail roads, which has been In evidence for some time past, dropped out of sight today. Speculators are refraining entirely, from commitments for the advance. On the other hand the bear operators of any consid erable caliber seemed to become discour aged by the futility of their efforts and the culmination of events counted upon for a reaction. They made some demonstration against People's (las, Consolidated Has and .Metropolitan Street Railway, but no cited was produced on the general market. The room traders labored In vain to set the sluggish tide of prices In motion. In many storks thn iirlfM ,.hfini'i u,rn u,.fir...lt. utif. Orient to cover a broker's commission and the inertness or the market Increased In proportion to the distance from last night's level, the tendency being to come back to that level from either below or above It. The Iron and steel stocks wero generally llrm on the encouraging opinions expiesscd by authorities In the trade. The maln lenanco of the St. Paul dividend nt tho existing rato found no response In the market, as It has been fully foreshadowed by t'ie largo nbnoritlon of gtoss earnings In operating expenses. alio reported agreement of western railroad presidents on recommendations designed to harmon Izo dlflerences over freights, the determina tion to advance hltumlnlus coal rates to the lakes and additional gains reported In rail road earnings were all without effect mi prices. The publl'hed report of a proposed incieage in thp next dividend on the ore ferred toek of Pittsburg, Clnclnnutl, Chi engo & St. Louis was met by a drop In that stock of 3W points. Rio Orande West ern was notable for a Jump of nearly S points. Thero was continued doubt and apprehension over the rapacity of the money market to get through without .1 pinch to Hip period of relief by the opera tion 01 tap currency mil. Tho possibility wan convassed of ac tion by the Treasury department to re sume the deposit of Internal revenue col lections with tho banks, but no nuthnrl tatlve sanction was given for such nos- slblllty. Tho nbsorptlon of funds by the Now York subtreasury ilnce hist erlday had already reached S5.fi3l.00i) up to the close of business last night. The total revenue surplus taken up by the govern ment since the first of the month up to tho satnii date amounted to only $J.0il.2l3. The snec al drn n thus lnillcated upon 1110 New York banks Is due to tho large customs payments by Importers. Imports nt pres ent nrn running very high, us nn Incident of the active demand for commodities, nnd tho payment of the duties Is diverted rrom the New York banks Into the snbtrensin v. The demand for oans ror purchne or gov ernment bnnds continues large. These two factors threaten the early obliteration of surplus reserves of the New York banks. The bond market was not so active as yesierdny, but prices were Ilrmly held. Total sales, par value, J1.39o.OuO. United States 3s declined i, and the new 4s '5 In the bid price. The Commercial Advertiser's London llnauclnl cablegram says: The markets here were quiet and featureless today, but the tone was cheerful on lrfird Roberts' ad vance nnd rumors of pence negotiations. A stor:- was current that 3,000 Hoers were of fering to surrender. The queen's visit 10 London checked business.

NEW YORK, 'March S. - COTTON A large business was transuded In cotton fu tures again today. Continual liquidation was the principal factor In sustnlnlng the volumo of transactions to an enormous ti nil, seml-olllcially estimated nt 930.0U0 bales. The market started out with prices unchnnged to 21M1 points higher. This rise was due to the fact that the Kugllsh mar ket, while showing at the opening u de cline of 3-32d ill spot cotton nnd a decline of 5-6(fi6-6ld In futures, was by no means ns badly off as the demoralization shown by our market might .erm In Justify. Then, too. closing cables reduced the net decline nt Liverpool 10 2-61171-61(1 for the day. Iiter. however, our market showed the effect of lieavy selling of long cotton. Margins were nsked for that were not forthcoming, u large amount of selling being of this clnss. For the llrst time the. trade, blinded to Ntutlstlrs und regulation market bearings by the dazzling speculative advance tlint hns been So long In progress, found time to re turn to calculations resiardlng the mnve mi nt nnd Its slgnlllcance. In tho afternoon tho market broke sharply under renewed heavy liquidation of long cotton nnd be came excited and very Irregular, with the tone Dually weak at u net decline of 45(23 points. LIVKRPOOL.
