From St. Nicholas.
At night the weary old doctor sat down
and noted, as i saal the condition of his
patients. The ragman, picking up; the
editor rapidly declining; the dentist, may
pull through ; the postmaster, must go;
the deaf mute, still complaining; the
painter, more bad signs: the miser,
barely living; the major, rallying; the
cashier, gone; the actor, on the last stage;
the butcher, less fat on bones; the cob
bler, mending: the jail prisoner, will soon
be out: the lawyer, speechless: the two
grocers, on the verge of dissolution; the
musician, toning up; the carpenter, im
proving; Jones’ boy, bad and growing
worse; the barber, saved by a close
shave; the hanker, (ailing; the boot
maker, will not last long; the pugilist,
striking improvement.

New York. March 3.—Rlordan & Co.’s
weekly cotton review says “The week
just ended has been a lively and exciting one
incotten. May deliveries dropped to 7.33 on
Monda . last and have sin.,6 recove ed 40
points, having sold at 7.73 yesterday morning,
out closing at 7.61 to day. Liverpool held her
own instead of declining, as had been gener
ally expe ted and our opening was at an ad
vance of 4 points. May sciiin on the call at
7 65. But most of the traders, while not
daring to sell short, seemed mdtffer
ent about buying and the mar et grad
ually sagged, rather irom Inattention
than owing to the pressure losin : all the
improvement and two or three points more.
The close was quiet and steady with 7.58 c . id
for ay. The anticipation that the port re
ceipts next week may tie swollen 1 y cotton
la ely 1 ought in the mterio for export, was
the mam reason for the w> akness shown to
day. ho amount of cotton that came in
si 4 ht during the week was at out 2* 09!) bales
less than during the same week last year. If
the reduction in the volume of fresh supplies
should continue at the same rate for a
few weeks, it would probably bring spinners
in o tne ma ket as more eager buyers
than they have been for a long time. But the
unrest caused by the silver and tariff agitation
aud the fear of the Hatch bill becoming a law,
tne practical effect of which would be to com
pel the farmers either to keep their cotton or
to sell it direct to the splnne.s a tt-e.e-i'sa
pound, combine to 8 raugie ever , thing like
the speculative boom, which, under ordinary
circumstan es, wo Id be the qui„k and sud
den resulted existing' conditions. Until the
cotton irade sha.l get reass ring tiuings
from Washington, we can scarcely expect
any material and lasting advance, while on
tne otm r hand, nobody need I e surprised if
the prd ilelions of 'houe who clicve that May
cotton will sell at 7 should be verL.ed.
The chinces for ihe immediate future seem
to le tba we shall have flu tcations within a
range of 26 po nts. vt 0 are Inclined to favor j

Chicago. March 3.—Local sentiment in
wheat was in line 1 to be bulbsh at the opeu
i: g of the market to day. it did not take
lou , ho'ever, for traders to become con
vmced that they were on the wrong side. A
sale of a oit .5 *,009 bushels was the argu
ment that turned tho tide and from that
t.me until the close more wheat was offered
than appeared 10 ue buyers for. and naturally
values gave way. Everything that was re
ceived during the l alance of the session was
more or less disappointing and discouraging
to holders There was a lair demand for cash
wheat but offerings were light Prices wer a
quota ly (40 lower. May wheat opened
Vk ‘4c higher a OiHac. sold I etweeu tha ami

hension which was felt among short s yestur
day on account of tho reported uiy.tig i y a
noted operator was displaced ny a more o.in
tident feeling, and they were inclined to In
crease their lines. The w -akness displayed
by wheat had a h innful effe.t, and assisted
in weakening the tone. May corn ran ltd ,0
tween 3650 and ;i6V,@3’.'(,c. urn! closed nt
36-jc. showing a net loss for the day ot IpD
(<e. Cash corn was in more demand; pri es
■qc lower. Oats were quiet, with a downward
tendency. No se,ling or buying ot note was
done and the feeling was derived from (he
wheat and corn markets. At the close ay
was tje under yesterday. Cash oats were
quiet and weaker. ITotisions were almost
Inactive. A stronger feeling was observed,
it was responsive to a similar one shown by
the market lor hogs. The close showed it
gain over yesterday of 2*,ie for Mav pork,
2*c for May lard, and 7!40 for May rics. The
cash market was quiet.
