CHICAGO, March 19.-[Special Telegram to
the Observation-Disclosures was fairly
active considering the big run last week and
the big run to-day. A large number went
over the scales during the forenoon, but
light 'little'' cattle had the call and were
more eagerly sought after, especially by
dressed beef dealers. There was also fair
demand for big cattle and s4.75@4. so bought
prime steers good enough for export, alive or
dressed. Medium, which form the bulk of
the supply on all occasions, were neglected,
the last to be looked at by buyers and the
hardest to sell. Some statesmen quoted
prime steers not over 10c lower, medium 15c
off and prime "little'' cattle about steady.
The best grades of butchers stock, which
includes first class cows and heifers remain
steady. Low grade butchers stock, includ-
ing thin and common bulls, old thin cows and
canning stock, were slow and rather weak.

NEW YORK, March 19.-TSpecial Telegram

stock market went contrary to general ex-
9ectations to-day and instead Of being weak
,ad declining, as on Saturday, advanced
almost steadily and closed at nearly the out
side figures, showing advances of $6@1&4
points. Louisville & Nashville, Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy and Union Pacific
headed the list. AS these stocks have shown
the most declines Of late, the reaction was
only natural, owing to the increased short
interest decline creates. Western Union

Chicago operators are short TO any such ex-
tent the bulk of them were put out At prices
materially above the present and undoubt-
edly show good profits Although timid
shorts bought some stocks, the greater part
of the business was by professionals, who
were evidently trying to get the market up
to sell and help their bull friends unload.
The settlement of the Atchison strike created
better feeling among the bulls, but they
are still too timid to take hold with any
degree Of freedom. London bought little

CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.

CHICAGO, March 19.-TSpecial Telegram to
the BEE. There were some very powerful
influences at work for the wheat bears this
morning and those gentlemen who depend
upon breaking the market for their profits
succeeded in hammering prices down to the
lowest point yet reached. Among those in
Huences were warm weather, much smaller
decrease in the visible supply than had been
expected, small exports, and, above all,
greatly increased receipts in the northwest.
Against all these things about all that could be
urged was the better tone Of foreign markets,
illness of the German emperor and reported
crop damage. Hutchinson, who is estimated
10 have bought between 3,000, 600 and 4, 100000
bushels Of wheat Saturday, was about the
heaviest seller to-day May wheat opened at
1890, sold down to 1880, up to 7s5Sc and
hung there for long time About noon the
decline began and did not stop until 5S14c
was reached. The / o'clock close was at
1890. June wheat opened at 79c, sold up to
79A@79ac, down TO 7S9S97sslc and closed
there at o'clock. The decrease in the visi-
BILE supply was 40S,0 600 bushels. Duluth in
creased 2S5, 600 bushels.
Considering the decline in wheat the corn
market held quite firm, closing but little
lower than Saturday, and at one time ad-
vancing nc under good buying chiefly by
one strong commission house. There seemed
but little corn for sale early in the session,
but when wheat broke off there was encour-
agement enough for short sellers, and they
hammered Off all the advance that had been
gained. May corn opened at 5l3sc, sold down
to 514c under the influence of larger re-
ceipts than were expected, then advanced to
512lc, falling back later to 81 sc and closing
at 1 o'clock at 81 &c. June corn opened at
514@5l4c, sold up to 511Sc, down to 5000
bOEc and closed there at o'clock. There
was an increase of SO, 600 bushels in the visible
supply of corn.
There was only moderate speculative trade
in oats and the only fluctuations were in the
May delivery, which opened at Bic, sold up
to 3l15c, back to Bic and closed there at l
o'clock.
In provisions slow delay was experienced
trading was limited and without special feat
ure, the cash product sold sparingly and
the business transacted, all told was under
the average. The feeling was also easier,
though lard was the only article showing
anything approaching weakness: In lard
the net decline suffered was &c. Pork stood
at o'clock 216c under Saturdays closing
Short ribs closed unchanged to 215c lower.
AFTERNOON SEssIoN-Wheat steady, May
closing at 1880 bid, July 7S5sc. Corn steady
May closing at 514@5ls6c sellers. Oats

closed at $14.10@14.121S; March closed at

The War in Kentucky.

The Constitution OF the United States pro-
hibits any state from engaging In war IN
less actually invaded or in such imminent
danger as will not admit OF delay. There 1t
stops short. There is no provision prohibit
lug the ctIZe ms OF any State from engaging
In war. But the trainers OF the Constitution
were not acquainted with the McCoys aud
Hatfelds OF Kentucky, or they might have
made the tenth section OF article more com
prchensivc.
War has been waged between those inter.
esting families for some time, with varying
fortune Now an engagement has terminal.
eel in favor Of the McCoys, and anon victory
has alighted on the banner OF the Hathclds.
About two weeks ago the Hatfield army be-
sieged port on OF the Mccoy forces in their
home quarters. When the later made y
sortie the besiegers shot down a Young son
aud a young daughter OF the McCoys in their
tracks aud then set fire TO the house, falling
back in good order Now comes the return
battle. A day or two ago the McCoys march
ed upon the Hatfield settlement, but met the
enemy In the woods, when an engagement
promptly ensued. The Hathells we're put TO
flight, leaving the dead on the field
The report tells US that "the authorities
are powerless and the war will doubtless be
petely exterminated." The Kentucky author
tiles must bee model officials II they are
really powerless 10 stop the riot, arson and
murder, the best thing the people OF the
State can do Is 10 take the matter into their
own hands, exterminat both families and
