From Wall Street Today.

NEw YoRE, March 1.-THE stock market
showed only quiet business this morning,
with large transactions in only three stocks
Reading, Union Pacific and Tennessee coal.
The opening prices were generally from }s to
q per cent higher than Saturdays closing fig
ures. but the further gains were few and in
Significant, the market developing q reaction
airy temper. Except in the cases of Tennessee
coal ana Oregon Short Line, however, the
losses incurred we're small Tennessee coal
dropped from Az to 4s1s and Short Line from
40 to 43, though late in the hour, when there
was better tone prevalent, both recovered
portion OF the loss. Sugar was very quiet and
after loss of q per cent regained the entire
amount. Reading was active within narrow linn
Its, but the market developed no further feature
OF interest and at ii O'Clock it was quiet, but
trim to strong at insignificant changes from the
opening prices. Manhattan sold ex-dlyidend.

FROM THE CAPITOL.
AGAINST A RUSSIAN. TREATY.
A Petition Which Leads to Debate
in the Senate.
SUSPENSION DAY IN THE HOUSE
THE SENATE.

While petitions were being presented Mr..
Cockrell rose to present remonstrances against
the extradition treaty with Russia, but was
notified that that was . matter for executive
sessions
MIR. Vest said that he had several such peti.
tions, but that he had consulted with several
OF the Oldest Senators and that there was gen.
eral consensus of opinion that they
SHOULD BE PRESENTED IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
The presiding officer (Mr. Ingalls, held that
petitions relating to business pending in execu-
tive session should be presented In executive
session.
MIR. Platt said that. Of course. these petitions
went on the idea that there was an extradition
treaty pending between this country and
Russia. The newspapers have published what
purported to be such treaty or the substance
OF It That had called forth these remonstraces
he did not see that any harm would result
from their being presented in open session and
IL seemed to him that people exercising the
right OF petition should have the opportunity
OF knowIng that their petitions were presented
Mr.. Cockrell remarked that the petitions
were in print and had been Che presumed)
published III the newspapers. They respect
fully asked the Senate not to ratify the pend
ing or any other treaty between the United
sss'eS tss ssd the emperor 9, Russia and
be ratified. He thought that they
should be presented in open session and
considered in executive session. He did not
know that there was any treaty pending in
executive session between the United States
and Russia, and the remonstrances
ing. or that might hereafter be
made. If there was no treaty pending (and he
took it that there was not) why should the re-
monstrance be presented in executive session?
The presiding officer said that he would SUBJ
init the matter to the Senate.
Mr.: Harris inquired as to the nature Of the
petition.
Mr.. Cockrell said that it was a petition
from the Brewers and Masters union
No. 6, OF st. Louis, asking the Senate not to
ratify the pending or any other extradition
treaty with the emperor of Russia for reasons
assigned therein
Mr.. Harris-It is clearly an executive matter.
The presiding officer submitted the question
as to whether the petition should be received
IN open session, and it was decided that it
should be, and the petition was therefore pre-
sented and several other like petitions from
German labor societies in St. Louis and vicinity
were like wise presented

Illinois Frozen Wheat.

SPRISGFIKLD, Ill, March l7.-Never in the
history of wheat raising in the state of Illinois
has the prospect for good crop changed more
materially than within the past ten days. Up
to the 9Th of March the winter had been mild
and the wheat plant was never in a more
healthy and apparently prosperous condition
The plant had been advanced by the favorable
on spring growth. The freeze Of a week or
more ago was more fatal than was at the time
supposed. Samples were presented at the
meeting OF the state board of agriculture ON
the 1lth instant from seven different counties
in central and southern Illinois. In these
samples, taken up by the root, il Was found that
the bulb of the root at the top OF the ground
was a mass of gum or jelly, showing conciu.
sively that the germ Of the plant had been
killed.
