The Market Opens Weak, but Picks Up
Before the Close.

stock traders showed very little disposition
to do anything yesterday, and the market was
both apathetic and weaker at the opening, but
rallied in the afternoon, and in most cases the
final prices were the best of the day. The
strongest features were Allegheny Heating
Company and CHARTERS Gas, both of which
scored handsome advances.
The rally in the afternoon, with limited
offerings, was accepted as an indication that
low water mark had been reached and that
reaction was among the probabilities All the
business was done in the forenoon, and the
sales aggregated 295 shares.

The local money market opened up the new

fair demand for accommodations which was
met at 6G7 per cent. The supply OF funds was
reported adequate to business requirements.
There is a slightly hardening tendency In the
market due TO anticipations of call by the
Controller of the Currency for settlements and
the approach of quarterly settlements in April.
1t is the opinion among bank officers here tnat
the squeeze In New York is the result OF
manipulation to force spectators into paying
higher rates. This theory is borne out oy the
fact that there has been no advance on com
mercial paper. Checking and depositing were
brisk.
The Clearing House report was favorable,
showing there is no falling off in general trade

CLOTH FROM RAMlE FIBER,

Experiments Tend to Show the Fiber Will
Supersede Cotton md Wool.
The botanist of the Washington Agricul-
tural Department has been investigating a
new process of weaving ramie fiber into
cloth. He says the process is a success, and
that in short time ramie fiber will super
sede cotton and wool in cloth manu- facture,
because it will be cheaper. The new indus
try is not likely to injuriously affect cotton
planters, as they can raise ramie fiber in
stead of cotton.

MONDAY. March 8. 1880.
The run for to-day's markets varied very
little from that of last Monday, both as re-
CARDS quantity and quality. Weather was
more favorable to active markets. but prices
were very much the same as they were
week ago, excepting for sheep, which were
higher and very firm at the advance.
The supply of cattle was below the late
average, and droyers were very firm in their
views. Buyers, however, failed to ''catch
on" at the proposed advance, and markets
were practically the same as they were
week ago. The best heavy Chicago beeves
offered brought S. to S. 25 per hundred
weight; medium weights, 1850 to 1 ,45O
pounds, sold at 81 IS to 81 So; do, 1000 to
1900 pounds, 81 so to 81 65; prime light
weights, 900 to LOO pounds, 81 TO "a 25;
common to fair thin and rough steers, So 25
to So so. Fresh cows and springers were in
good supply, and were held at S25 to s45
per head. Sales were reported at $50 to S41.
Calves were in light supply, the total offer-
ings being u head. Demand was active,
and all were promptly sold at a range OF SC
to 6%c per pound. The latter price was
paid for prime veals. A few bulls and stays
sold within the range OF &c to 4c per pound.

ports cattle markets stronger than they were
a week ago.
Sheep md Lambs and Swine.
Offerings of sheep and lambs were light
and prices were 25 cents per cwt. higher all
along the line. ALI that were offered sold
quickly and many more would have found
ready customers at the advance. Prime
heavy Western and native wethers sold at
range OF S. 50@5 75, with sales of few
fancy bunches at S. The range for medium
weights was So OO@6 40; light weights,

ter market for swine, but the improvement
failed to show up. Both supply and de-
mand were light, and markets no more than
held their own as compared with last week.
