New York. April H-The market
opened at a fractional decline from la--
night’s close and owing to the scarcity
of sellers soon strengthened, advam
-' ing over 10 points. Liverpool was not
very encouraging, but it is recorded that
the decline of yesterday waa caused!
mostly by sales there for Southern ac
count, against actual cotton and on re
ports of rain in Texas. There was no
pressure to sell today, and we think
that the liquidation is over, and that?
no more weak cotton is hanging over
the market. The report of rains iu
Texas was contradicted, and planting in
that state is not progressing favorably*
We think cotton cheap on its merit*
at present prices, and would advisci
purchases for quick turn in weak spots.
There is very little outside interest, ands
we do not look for any material a«U
vance nor for any great change from
present pjrice.s until something m<>n*
positive can be known about crop pros
pects. /

New Orleans. April 11.—Our Galvos
ton advices this morning say the sig
nal office reports no rain fu Texas from)
7 a. in. yesterday to 7 a. m. today, nor
are there any indications of rain in the*
South anvwhere according to the weath
er map. Our Texas letters ail indicate!
serious drought. This market at one
vine today was 4 under last night. bin
dosed 6 better than yesterday. Liver
pool, our cables says, closed weak owing
to demoralization of bulls. It is exactly
six months before Europe will get any
of our new crop, and yet every holder
of a long contract in the Liverpool mar
ket is willing to transfer his holdings
to some new btier or some short to
take in his profits. We hold one opinion
about the next crop, and that is we dos
not think that a large yield is promising
It is not the individual opinion of one !
firm or firms that puts the market up
or down. The near or future course of
prices depends upon the preponderance
of sentiment. We have soon the mar
ket advance material!” on a large crop
and decline very decidedly on a small
one. This is essentially a spot mar-;
ket and futures are much more son«i- |
five here than in New York to tin active!
or slack demand for cotton. The NewJ
York stock is no weight on the market
because everything is hedged by con
tracts, but with ns 73 ver cent, of our
stock is unprotected. Eight cents for
(middling is only high because wo were
2 cents lower than last ypnr. We do
not think cotton dear nt current prices,
but if the consumer wont buy it, wS
must wait until he is ready to do so,
and whrti that occurs we will have a,
basis upon which to buy contracts. We
think that period is not far off, but we
may be mistaken.

New York, April 11.—During the
1 greater part of the day the market was
very dull. The only stock that wast
■ active was Sugar, in which 11 big de-,
i-iiue took place. The selling at first
, was for short stock, but nt lower figures i
a good deal of loag stock came out, and 1
the street has it that a party who had
i a number of puts outsold the stock when
; they reached the figures at which the
i puls were issued. Nothing was said
ito account for this decline, and it i»
i probable that it was only an attack;
j by the bears to force out weak holders. 1
The rest of the market was fairly strong
but sold off in the last hour on account
lof the weakness of Sugar.
Tho most encouraging piece of news
j today was the earning’s of Whiskeyi
■ for the week, showing an increase of
1 $78,000. This is all the more satis)
' factory, as the same week last year
showed a bis increase over the previous
; one. We think that earnings will eon-,;
tinne to show much satisfnrtory re-
1 suits, nnd that the market will ultimate- :
ly show miioh higher prices. What wo ';
have to contend with nt present is the
' fact, that probably from $5.000.<W) to ;
$5,000.000 more gold will have to gat
out this month, and this always nets
as a slight, damper to bull speculation.!
The exchange market is very strong
and indications point to the fact that
more gold will probably be shipped on .
Saturday. The imparts continue vary
i Birge, although it must bo noted that 1
' the buying of wheat today for export I
. was very heavy. A number of inquires h

f>r the World’s Fair wore clnsseil with
the regular imports, as given out by
this bureau, but the answer is that these
goods are shipped to Chicago on bond

When the goods are sold the sale will
be withilrawn from bond and then be
classified in the regular imports.

52.000.000 to $3,000,000 additional gold

was partly due to a sharp onslaught
upon Amoriaan Sugar Refilling company
which, despite the statements by offi

Following that hour, however, the price
ran off '» lOltitlOl 1-2 under an enor

long stock xvas forced out by this drop.
Simultibimously there were large offer

of the market yielded 1-4 to 1-2 per cent,

Chicago, April 11.-The government
report is out and has been received
throughout the world. It appears to
have had its greatest effect abroad where
foreign markets have advanced fully
3 cent.s pel* bushel, it. is noted that tin'
buying for export, New York was very
large, much more so than for sometime.
Buying orders that came in early were i
all rnet by large offerings from some |
of the larger holders. The market be- .
came heavy, dragged and declined about |
1 1-2 cent per bushel, rallied little to
wards the close, recovering about 1-2
cent, of this decline. The more conser
vative traders who were buyers around
73c. for July are disposed to take their 1
profits and perhaps risk a. little on the 1
short side believing that rams are likely .
to follow this drought, and they can
reinvest at lower prices. Some of the
large shorts in May were liberal buyers
throughout the entire session causing
an advance of about 3c. per bushel.
While reports continue to pour 111“con-]
firming the low condition of the govern
ment report, there is yet time tor j
improvement. The conditions that are
unfavorable to winter wheat are
very favorable to the sreding of spring
wheat, and oats ami, perhaps, to a large
increase in the acreage of corn. I Ins
has caused a depressed feeling among
spccuiators regarding coarse grains, to
which is duo the decline in corn ami
T’hcre is a marked increase 111 ]

The entire market was quite _ active
and unsettled throughout the entire day.
PRODUCE.
Cbica"o. April 11.-The bulls in the
wheat market were after Mg game today,
and they bagged some of it. 11 ■• fa
mous plunger, Bdxvard Pardridgc,
seemed to be the person aimed at, and
he was crowded unTnprcjfully. I ar
was found to bo slow to respond
to <-aUs for margins, which brokers with
whom he had deals showered upon Imu,
and forthwith brokers. bought in a Jot
of Pardridgo’s wheat in the pit. Iho
scene in the pit was very wild while the
brokers were buying in the big plunger s
wheat Meanwhile Pardridge was nor
idle John Cudahy is the ostensible head
of the “bull” clique, and Pardridge sent
an ambassador to him to his office in
the Rialto building suing for terms. He
was accorded a settlement of from
•i 000 000 to 3.000,000 of May wheat, it.
fs said at 87 cents per bushel, which set
tlement it is thought leaves Pardridge a
poorer man by about $750,000 than he
was before. The excitement, though in
tense, was not what usually attends a
big jump of 4 cents per bushel in the
market. Nobody had any May wheat
for sale excepting the clique. 'They con
fined their attention to July wheat, and
sawed the market for delivery up and
down about. 1 1-2 cents per bushel. As
soon as Pardridge had made the final set
tlement the manipulators let the price
drop 3 cents. But Pardridge is not out
of the woods yet. He is understood to
lie still short of enough to lose him an
other $1 .OOO.OOObesides his losses of to
day. Just at the close the market, was
jerked up again, and the final figures
compared with last night’s showed an
advance of 3 1-4 cent.s. Corn opened
'quieter, a cent better than yesterday's
i close, and, lifter considerable fluctuation
[ closed with 5-B@3-4 less. Oats were
| wonk nt the start, and so eontinned
■until the decline of 1 3-8 cents had been
recorded on May. nnd 7-85/1 1-8 cents
’on tin* later mouths. Later a rally of
’ 1-4 of a cont,s occurred, and thi> market
1 closed quiet. -The general surroundings
jot’ the provision trade favored the short.
side of the murker, and the weakness
in grain tended to add to tile depression,
in a general way. The market dosed
nt a slight, reaction from inside prices,
but oompared with last night showed a
loss of 35'<(42 1-2 cents for pork, 12 1-2

A Notabblo Lecture svlth Drummond Light
Tonight.
representa.tive of The Constitution
called to see Archdeacon Walton yes
terday nigilit in regard to the proposed
lecture tonight.
He wns pleasantly received by Arch
deacon Walton, and propounded the fol
lowing inquiries:
“Do I undersiuid thalt the Yale lec
turer whom you review tonight has made
:i bona lido s< ii ntilie iavesiigntiou of
the eessation of the earth’s revolution
recorded in Holy Writ
“lie has amplestiomibly done so."
“Has he ithe learning and ability nec
essary for such an investigation?”
A. man eulogized by siicli ilistinguish
j cd nicii as ton Moltke, of Germany, and
Lord Wolsey, of Phigland, should be
!>i man of ability. Os one of his works
| The New York Times has said: ‘it is an
! extraordinary study in geometry and
j algebra, while the volume as a whole is
j .'I monniih’iiit oi special Umiriving.’ Also
the astronomer royal, of Scotland, has
said: 'I respect his learning mid bis
ability.’ ”
' No, sir. Aly audience can afford to
ignore. me. J ym merely .1 reviewer.
Lecturing to classes upon this subject
in tinie past (nay have given me some
skill in simplifying a subject, of this
sort, and this skill, if any. I propose to
use lor the lienctit of my audience.”
“Os the many who will be curios to
know what you have to srty only a
small pm i c:u.i probably attend your lec
ture at, DeGive’s. Will you kindly, for
their benefit answer a few questions?”
"ion may command me sir."
"Do you suppose it possihle that, the
earth could ever cease it., motion around
its ax's?”
"1 do not, propose in my lecture to
touch upon the possible or impossible.
There are many tilings scientifically pos
sible which ojr limited knowledge of
science induces us al present to believe
impossible. No. sir. it is only a ques
tion of fact. If it did occur, of (•oiir.se,
it is possible. The question is m>t. pure
ly Biblical. It is a matter of science.”
“If it. did occur? Bui wfiM are (be
possibilities of proving tlnse most re
markable and exceptional phenomena?”
"Turn your telescope upon a distant
star. Note when it crosses the spider
line in the field of view. Whirling, as ;
that world is, over a vast orbit at prod
igous speed, we can calculate the ex
act. moment, when returning from its voy
age through space it. will cross that line
again. Look a.( your almanac. The
eclipses of the year are pretold to the
second. We make no mistakes. Expect
the same unerring accuracy in this in
vestigation.”
"But why Ims not some astronomer
nuaile this investigation before 18911?"
"Astronomers have their bauds s<**full
of problems that they have little time
for investigating the past. Bes des,
some of them have done as yon have
evidently done- prejudged the question.
Moreover, tile calculation involved great
labor.” . »
"1 see the astronomical cycles figure
in your lecture.”
"Yes, and particularly the lunar
epart. That is the simplest, calculation,”
"While, of course, a matter ol great
interest to the masses, bearing, a.. 1 it
does directlv upon s. ience in its relation
to revelation, do yon think the average
audience oun toll iw you
"When you see and hear the lecture
(I say see. for the eye will be more ex
ercised than the ear), I think you will
conclude 11ml a child cannot

member that the greatest uiechanical
skill Ims been expended of late years in
(tie construction of machinery for pro
