The snort tessioa to-day. coming as it does
between two holidays, attracted little attention
among the stock brokers, and the pievailing
dullness and stagnation of the past few weeks
wus, if anything, intensified in transactions.
The deali cs were entirely professional, and
the iodisp sition to trade, even among the trac
ing element, rendered tne business done birren
of any ieature or movement, except in two
c ises, St. Paul and Burlington. Both of these
stocks were attacked in the early dealings, and
aold down on short sales in fractional amounts,
while the general list, which had open and with
fractionally lower figures, remained stagnant
throughout the session. Efforts to cover made
by tbe latter created a alight upward movement
In St Paul and Burlington, the former recover
ing a) lof it., former loss, while tie latter was
left only slightly lower than Thursday. Tne-e
stocks not only monopolized the interest, but
als > ac: ivity of the day, and transactions in
everything else were the smallest for a long
time. Northern Pacific preferred, however,
showed considerable strength, and cloeed
higher. The bank statement, with its sma 1
changes, had no effect whatever ou the market,
and the close was dull and stea ly at about the
opening figures for almost everything traded in.
The finsl changes are are in all cases :nsigufl
cant. The sales reached were 37.647 shares of
listed and 10.096 shares of unlisted.

The Sim's cotton review says: “Futurei
declined slightly under the statistical position.
The Chronicle'* figures showed that last week's
deliveries from plantation < were five times as
large as for the corresponding week last year.
Thia was too much; st 11 there was very little
pressure to sell, and very bad weather on the At
Inntic coast causd steadier closing. Many now
begin to talk confidently of a crop of 8,500,000.

Chicago. Marcu 28.— The rnarsets were stroug
to-day May wueat found holts of buyers at
Si 02lf at the start and it ran up inside of a
minute to $1 0244 About fifteen minutes la.vr,
under the influence of very free selling out of
early purchases, and putting out of short wueat j
by the local crowd, the price was down to
$1 025* A great deal appeared to be wanted
at the latter price, but very little changed hands
until it was back again to $1 0254 to $1 02)4.
The firmness at the opening had several sources.
The main influence after tne fl st break was the
foreign news. May advanced to $1 0J44. Yes
terday and Thursday were literal of both wheat
and flour, and a New Orleans sb.pment of 25,090
bushels of wheat was tr ade. A Berlin eabls
grarn to the board quoted an advance in wheat
of 154 to 154 marss, or equivalent of nearly lc
per bushol. London was aso firmer, and Paris
private cables likewise quoted a stronger mar
ket and advancing prices. The con
tinued to be the feature to the close. ?Tav sold
up to $1 04 and closed at $10344 bid. The corn
market opened moderately active and very firm
at 60c bid. A weaker feeling succeeded, the
market being a;.pare tly without support of
the latest bullish manipulators. The price
sagged gradually to 6544 c, and there was no ap
pearance of prices recovering until buyers of
cash corn became urgent and bid up the price
of November t > a point above the May price for
No. 2. From 65c No. 3 cash was bid up to 6754 c
in a short time. After the pric • had reached
67543 it became steadier, but still retained its
strength, and in the end further a lvance i,
reaching as high as 6744 c, and it stood at 6754 c
at the close. There was considerable realizing
in the oats crowd, and also considerable selling
of May and buying of July. Norton, Worthi ig
ton, Platt and “Deacon" Fitts were the heaviest
sellers of May, while B. Fowler sold the July
oats he purchased Taurslay. Buying was mostly
for short account, and was well scattered The
market opened 54c above tbe close of Thursday
and suffered a decline, hardening and closing at
a gain of 54c. Trading in provisions was very
limited. Tne receipts of hogs were light and
prices higher. Lard an 1 ribs vied with pork in
activity and strength and ultimately surpassed
it. Pork advanced, compared with Thur day’s
closing prices, 75c per barrel, lard 40c and ribs
45 cents.
