The business in crude oil transacted
during the week was on, low basis,
as holders were either compelled tc
accept the views of buyers or continue
paying storage on their miscellaneous
collection of oils. There were sales OF
700 barrels in lots of fair
grade at 20 cents and few
other lots changed hands from that
figure to "A cents. Prime oil was of
fered at the latter figure on Saturday
to arrive next week, but without bust
ness, and to-day 300 barrels strictly
prime for March delivery were offered
at 244c. This is only Ic above the
price at Memphis. Some of the
Southern mills are demanding a figure
equivalent to pc laid down here, and
an effort has been made to do business
here on that basis, but the extreme
price paralyzes buyers. The market
closed weak. We hear from New Or
leans tonight that very little prime
crude oil is offering and that the mar
ket is quiet at 22l@23c. Seed is COM

NEW ORLEANS, La, February 26.- -
In the chess game to-day between Zu-
kertort and Steinitz, the latter had
the white pieces, and opened the
game with p to X 1. There was hard
ly moments delay when Zukertort
answered with p 10 * 4. 1t was evident
that they wished TO make time, for
Steinitz played X to b 3, and imme-
diately Zukertort answered with Kt
to Q B 8, and the "Ruy Lopez" gam
bit was accepted. Steinitz pushed
out his b to Q Kt 3, and Zukertort,
without delay, placed his Kt to X b
3. Steinitz then castled. The play
up to this time had been very
rapid, and each player seemed to
be willing to develop his game.
early in the action, and it continued
rapid TO the end, when the game
was declared a draw on the twenty
first move, Steinitz having occupied
tifty-eight minutes and Zukertort
twenty-three minutes. 1t was shook
game' up to the fifth move. The first
variation was the eleventh move,
when Steinitz gave b to r 3, instead
of the traditional B to Kt .. At the
seventeenth move Zukertort asked
Steinitz, "Will you play to win ?"
As draw seemed probable, Steinitz
replied that he would play a while
longer. On the twenty-fiIst move he
said he was willing to make it draw,
and Zukertort assented. Immediately
they both began to show
how they would have won had there
been no exchange on queens. They
will play the next game Monday.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Philadel-

stirred up little breeze by what he
represented to the Audlanche and the
Nashville Onion as an interview
with Mr.. E. B. Stahlman, vice-presi-
dent of the Louisville and Nashville

for the conspicuous part he took in
the last State Congress. In this in
terview Mr.. Stahlman was reported to
have said that he would carry the

1SEsAroR Mitchell, in his speech in
bpe Senate yesterday, insisted that the
Chinese, all OF them now in the United
States, should be expelled at once, and
that no others should hereafter be per-
mitted to land on our shores. The full
import OF Mr. Mitchell's position will
be realized when our readers learn
that if such policy is ptrsued and
the Chinese Government retaliates, as
it threatens to do, over $4,000 Ameri-
cans would be driven out Of China, at
very heavy personal loss, and in trade
we should lose several millions OF dol

HoUsToN, TEX, February 26.-The
Houston Savings Bank suspended this
morning, and ON petition Of the stock
holders d. f. Stewart was appointed
receiver, 1t had a paid-up capital OF
100000. The officers are: Frederick
A. Rice, president, and i. Raphael,
cashier. The failure is due to the
suspension of the City Bank, in which
President Rice and other stockholders
were heavily interested. No definite
statement is obtainable. The last
public statement was in August, 1888,
showing assets of S442, ,344; deposits,
$4l1 ,255; net profits, $31 ,039. The
officers say the only material change
since that time is a decrease in de .
posts of S2SG,000. Since the City
Bank failure January 1st last the bank
had a surplus of S73,527. It's CORE
spondents are the Mercantile National
