New YORK, March 1s.-There was the same
dull and narrow market this morning, and out.

slight advantages from last night 8 figures, ex.
cept in Tennessee coal, which was down u Der
cent, and Burlington and Quincy, which was 4
lower. After momentary recession everything
moved up, though the changes in quotations in
the general list was on the same limited scale
as the business done, and they got but q shade
above those Of the opening. Tennessee coal
and sugar refneries, however, were excep-
tions. each rising l per cent above its lowest
price, after which general reaction took place.
and in many stocks all the improvement was
lost, the grangers especially showing consid.
cradle weakness. No further feature was de.
veloped, however. and at IL o'clock the market
was dull and for the moment steady at close "a

Local Rates on Western Roads are Fifty
Per Cent Higher Than Through Rstes-

NEW YORK, March ls.-The interstate COM
merce commission met in the United States
circuit court today. Commissioners Bragg and
Schoonmaker were present Mr.. Charles A.
Green gave his views on the interstate COM
merce laws. Jobbing trade rates in Ohio, he
said, caused the most trouble on account Of the
jobbers' concessions, while regular shippers
could not get any, and the differences in
the tariff are still there, though some
rates have been resdjusted. Now the hour
rate from Minneapolis to Chicago is ~ cents
and the millers between the two cities pay
high 10 cents. He thought the rates on
corn from Chicago to New York were very
reasonable. He presented TO the committee

and their effects upon both the producer and
the consumer. The commission then took .
recess.

SOMEBODY BLUNDERED.
The Despatch Was Run Away Out Of
the Channel and is Still Stuck.

SECRETARY TRACY GONE TO NORFOLK ON THE
FISH HAwK-wILL HE ORDER AN INvEsTIaA-
TIoN!-IT WILL PROBABLY COST A CONSIDER
ABLE SUM TO FLOAT THE GROUNDED VESSEL
The Despatch is still stuck in the mud down
the river and all the pulling that can be done
will not bulge her. The Fish Hawk, after
making an Intellectual effort to pull the other
vessel from the fats, took the Secretary
and party on board and carried them
to Norfolk last night The return Of the water
that was blown out to its nautical height upon
the wind swinging around to the southwest did
not have any relieving effect upon the Despatch
1t is said that when the tide goes out
her fore foot is visible above the water. This
Is indicative of pretty bad state OF things, if
true, for the fore foot is the extreme curve Of
the vessels keel as it turns up to form the
PROV.
ALLEGED MISTAKE OF THE sTEERsMAN.
The accident occurred during heavy blow,
but in the daylight, and was the result it is
said, of a mistake on the part of the steersman
in sighting Matthias point light house for Smiths
point. The channel at that part Of the
river is very crooked. but is quite deep,
and nothing short of leaving the chan
mel banks and running full head upon
the comparatively low water on either
side could result in such firm
implantation Of the vessel. The wind could
not possibly blow enough water out of the
channel 10 make it unnavigable.
WILL THERE BE AN INVESTIGATION?
or course there is talk floating around about
an investigation into the cause Of the
accident, but inasmuch as the Secretary is
the man to decide whether or not such course
is advisable, and rs he is now IN
Norfolk, nothing definite concerning this mat
ter can well be learned at present 1t now
looks as though the accident would cost
the department quite sum, although
no danger is anticipated to the
vessel herself Her boats were carried away
on the night o. the accident, but have since
been recovered. The Triton has been engaged
in carrying supplies to the Despatch.
