Tne stoat market to day was quiet for the
general list, but specially active for a fe shares
as usual of late, and while the early dealings
presented a comparatively firm front, the ad
vances of note were all in a few stocks, and
later dealings were marked by severe pressure
to sell, which not only wiped out a few early
advances, but in the weaker shares caused ma
terial losses, which an unexpectedly favorable
bank statement was powerless to check. The
opening was generally at material concessions
from last night's figures. Northern Pacific pre
ferred being down 1$ per cent.: and while Read
lug showed undoubted evidence of support, and
New England, Northern Pacific preferred, and a
few others showed a tendency to advance, the
rest of the market, under the lead of Richmond
and West Point securities, developed a drooping
temper, which, with a renewal of the bear
pressure In th* last hour, became positive
weakness, and suoh early advances as bad been
scored were entirely wiped out. Richmond and
West Point dropped away from 12J$ to II and
preferred from 65 to 6014, and' industrials,
whioh have lately presented so strong a front,
joined in the general downward movement
Distillers, after selling up to 5044, stepped back
to 49, and Sugar from 1004$ fell to 9745. carry
ing the entire list with them. Prices rallied
s ightlv on covering of the shorts toward the
close, but there was no real change In the tem
per, and the market finally closed unsettled and
generally weak at or Dear the lowest prices of
the day. The material concessions for tbe day
were Richmond and West Point preferred 314
Sugar U 4, and Northern Pacific preferred 1 per

New Fork, March 28 — Hubbard, Price &
Co's cotton report says: “The statistical posi
tion made up in this morning’s Chronicle is as
follows: Total visible supply 4,004,229 bales,
of which 3,902,229 bales are American; planta
tion deliveries 37,967; came in sight during the
week 67,358 bales; total in sight 8,289.117 bales.
These figures proved sufficiently strong to ad
vance the Liverpool market, despite the
apathetic attitude of ours, and prices there at
the close were l-34<a2 64d better than yesterday.
The effect upon our own market was an im
provement of about 4 points at the opening,
a portion of which, however, was lost under
free offerings from the boars, the dose being
steady at about 2 points over last night s
figures.”

Chicago, March 36.—Opening trades In wheat
were at about lc decline, and a slide from there
down was almost without check. Before two
hours of the session had passed May declined
to 80%c; but for heavy purchases a still further
reduction would undoubtedly have had to be
recorded. There was a reaction from So%c to
80c. followed by another decline of %c, but
upon an attempt to cover 100,000 bushels of
short wheat, accompanied by a similar break
for freedom on 25,000 bushels at the last named
price, without an Immediate response for sellers
the crowd lashed itself into a miniature bullish
fury for a tew minutes and ran prices up to
81%c, The advance last referred to was helped
by better closing cables than expected, but
after touching 81%c it again sold off and
closed at 80%0, The corn shorts are getting
very nervous over rumors that Btrong parties
are working to force a squeeze of May shorta
The May price to-day started around 89%e,wish
sales at 39%®39%c, dropped on early selling to
39%®39%c, sold 89%®39%c, and then up to
40%c before 1 o’clock, getting another lift after
1 o’clock and closed at 40%c. Oats were strong
and fairly active to day, the market advancing
with corn and closing fully %a higher. In pro
visions scalping was the main feature. At the
close .May pork showed an advanoe of 10c. lard
and ribs 2%0 .
