CORRESPONDENT CRAwFoRD's letter to
the New York Tribune announcing that
President Harrison is a candidate for
denomination, and that Mr. Blaine will
support him, can probably be set down
as an authoritative statement of the
political situation, so far as it relates to
the position of these two gentlemen.
Mr. Crawford is we'll known as being on
intimate terms with Mr. Blaine. He is
the same correspondent that inter-
viewed the plumed knight in Europe
prior to the campaign of 1888, and his
utterances touching Mr. Blaine's for
tunes have come to be looked upon as
inspired. The present outlook is, there
fore, that the secretary of state will be
Harrison man in 1892.

The Past Stagsfati Or of a Few
Weeks Intensified.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-The short session
to-day. coming as it does between two holi-
days, attracted little attendance among the
brokers, and the prevailing dizziness and
stagnation of the past few weeks was if any
thing intensified in the transactions. The
dealings were entirely professional, and the
indisposition to trade even among the trad
ing element rendered the business done bar
rem of feature or movement, except in two
cases. St Paul and Burlington Both of
these stocks were attacked i'll the early trad
ny, and sold down on short sales fractional
opened with fractionally lower figures, re-
manned stagnant throughout the session.
The effort TO cover later made slight up
ward movement in St. Paul and Burlington,
the former recovering all of its former loss
while the latter was left only slightly lower
than Thursday. These stocks not only
mouopolized the interest, but also the activ-
itv of the day, and the transactions in every
thing else were the smallest for a long time.
Northern Pacific preferred, however showed
considerable strength and closed higher.
The bank statement, with its small changes,
had no effect whatever upon the market. and
the close was dull and steady at about OPEN
ing figures for almost everything traded in.
Railroad bonds were as dull as stocks and
equally undressing. with rather heavy
tone to the dealings, though the changes
were scarcely perceptible in most of the is
sues traded IN. The dealings were without
special feature, however, and on sales of
only $780, 900, the final changes are without
significance. Government bonds have been
dull and steady.
