New Y ork. March 21.—After a rather tame
opening, the stock market developed strength,
more especially for the industrial group,
cordage, sugar. Chicago gas, lead and whisky
advancing 4to Hi per cent. Cordage made
the largest gain, rising 14 to 20L. The re
covery in this stock was due to statements
that yesterday s break to 19 was the result of
execution of stop orders, and not material
change in the condition of the property. Chi
cago gas moved up, the attack on the com
pany in the common council of Chi
cago. which was to have taken place last
night, having been postponed. Lead, sugar,
and whisky ruled firm. When it was defi
nitely stated that no gold would he exported
by to morrow's European steamers, the gen
eral market made an advance of 4 to 1 •* per
cent., but business was on a moderate scale.
Northern Pacific issues led the list, the com
mon rising *2 to 64. and the preferred l' ! to
21V London was a buyer of the bonds of
this company.while local shorts purchased the
stock. After imd ia.v there was a break in
American sugar o; 56c to 88 on reports
from Washington that the recommendations
of the Senate finance committee in the mat
ter of the sugar schedule, had l een exagger
ated. and that the advantages to
accrue to refiners were nothing like
the re ort has it. Again it was
said that there had been treachery
in the pool, one mem:.or having sold out on
his partners. The general market, while ad
versely affected, did not decline much In
fact the greatest reaction was less than a
point Late in the day rumors were received
from Washington that the President had de
cided to velo the seignorage Mil It was also
reported via Boston that the Iran-s continental
rate war had been declar and off, and this, with
semi-official statements, that Lie Rock island
will declare its usual quarterly dividend, stim
uiated purchas-s anti started up a lively In
qrirv for stocks poneially. 1 he hlVh' si prices

tion to KV New England was a weak spot,
dec'inink at one time to tt ■„ 'the prospect of
a heavy assessment keeps the stock weak.
The net changes for the day show gains of

New Y’ork, March 20.—The Sun's cotton re
port says: “Cotton declined 2 to 3 points,
but recovered and advanced 10 to 12 points,
closing steady. Sales 94,100 bales. Liverpool
advanced '? to 1 point and lost most of this,
closing quiet and steady. Sales on the spot
10,000 bales, at steady quotations. In Man
chester yarn* wore quiot. but steady. Cloths
dull. New Orleans advanced 2 to 4 points.
Tho port receipts were estimated at 12,000
bales and reachad 10.801 bales, against 14.214
bales this day last week and fc.lOu bales last
year. Lhus far this week 28.317 bales,
against 39.272 bales thus far lust w r eek.
Exports to-day 7,317 bales for Great
Britain and 9.737 1 ales to the continent.
Spot cotton here was dull and unchanged;
sales 63 bales for spinning. Southern markets
were generally steady and unaltered. New
Orlean's receipts to-morrow are estimated at
2.500 bales to 3,000 bales, against 5.:-■•24 bales
on the same day last week, and 2 200 bales
last year. It is narrow* and not very interest
ing speculation, a the Easter holidays are
close at hand and every body is disposed to
hold aloof and await events rather than
plunge into the speculative stream at once
and make a bold light one way or another.
There is nothing new* in the situation "
New y ork. March SSD Giordan &Cos say of
cotton to-day: “The cotton market continues
extremely dull, with little change in prices.
There was nothing noteworthy in the attitude
of Liverpool to-day, and there was little to
encourage the bulls in port receipts, which
were again larger than last year. May opened
at 7.45 c, declined to 7.43 c. rallied to 7.48 c and
closed at 7.47 c bid. with the tone steady.
News from the manufacturing centers in this
country is a trifle more cheerful, and this
makes traders very cautious about selling, so
that the few buying orders that were r ceived
sufficed to stiffen the market, 'the imrove
me.nt would probably have been more decided
but for reports from Washington that Hatch
is confident that his anti-option bill will pass.
Traders recognize the fact that nobody will
want to buy cotton, except those who expect
to spin it, and as iong as the measure hangs
over th ‘ market it will tend to k 11 the effect
of all legitimate influences which might,
under other circumstances, bring about a
healthy and lasting advance.”

t liicago. March 20.—Business in wheat was
principally local to day, and was confined to
tnnsactions by room traders and scaliH*rs.
The range of prtocf was narrow. May selling
between 58c and and 57*closing at
57 7 tt@58c. a net gam of *4c for the day. < orn
was moderately active, and sympathized
with wheat throughout the greater portion
of the session. May corn fluctuated
between 37 7 K e; closing at tie
outside, a gain of half for the day. Oats dis
played more activity within the lust fifteen
minutes of the session than has marked the
trade lu that grain for a month. Shippers
were good buyers during the early part of
the day. and when an effort was made by
shorts to cover, the market was found to be
bare of offerings and a stampede resulted
which carried price* 7 c higher in almost as
short a time as it takes to toll it. The dose
was with a net gain of V'TArC.
Provisions exhibited much firmness
and strength at the op mng
and for the most part of tho session. Yards
reported a light run of hogs and steady mar
ket which was the main reason for the good
feeling in product. When meat weakened,
however, it was observed that products
showed sympathy, and prices eased off. At
the close, May pork was 5c higher than at
the same time yesterday. May lard 2‘jc
lower, and May ribs unchanged. There was"a
fair cash demand for meats.
