U. 8. HALL, president of the
Farmers Alliance OF this State,
during his speech at the CONNER
cial Congress in Kansas City,
said: The greatest cause of the
present depression is partisan poll
tics. The last national campaign
was fought on the line of great
economical question. Yet the great
agricultural State of Texas gave a
majority of 1S5, 600 for one side of
the question and the great agricul-
tural State OF Kansas gave a ma
jority of So 600 on the other side.
Other causes of depression are:- A
high protective tariff, decreased
volume of money and the raising of
freight and passenger rates to pay
dividends on watered stock. The
remedies are lower tariff, an in
crease in the volume of currency
and the regulation of the railroads
so that they can pay dividends
only on the actual capital invested.

NEW YORK STOCKS.
The Share Market Continues Active and
Weak, With Aggravated Bear Raids
Material Losses All Along the
Line-Bank Statement.


NEW YORK, March THE stock market to-.
day was fairly active, especially for the leading
stocks, but remained weak. and. notwithstand-
ing heavy coverings of shorts. shows material
losses for the day all along the line. The news
from abroad was again disquieting. and the sit

sented as peng serious, which condition of af
fairs was reflected in the London market by
lower prices for all securities.
There was no perceptible selling of stocks in
this market for foreign account. but the pro-

man, and notwithstanding the more hopeful
sentiment on the street, were enabled. by the

active shares being still comparatively neg

pressure, but there was evidence of consider
able support in the Wizards, AVID those stocks
were rather firmly held. The VanderbiitS, on
The other hand yielded readily, as did also New
England, Louisville and Nashville and Missouri
Pacific. The opening losses extended TO e per
cent, but at the lowest figures the declines
reached as high as 2 per cent in Illinois Central
The discovery of an unfavOrabe bank
statement was also one of the moving forces in
the early raid. but the issue of the statement,
with it's loss of nearly $3. 00O, 900 of the surplus
reserve, was unaccompanied by any demonstra-
tiOn other than the effort to recuperate the
shorts put out up to-day. The dealings were
principally of that characte and in the Grang-
ers Missouri Pacific and Wizards the rally from
the lowest prices reached mere than per cent

quiet but firm at the improvement. The final
changes are generally confined TO fractions

Electric was dull on call Saturday. Boston be-
ing quiet and few orders Ill. After call, how
ever. it firmed up oD the strength of more
hullish feeling at the Hub, and the receipt of a
few orders, presumably from the same place.
On call it was quoted at 1lL and 1l15. The later
impetus sent it up to about u which was the
Boston figure.
Trading was dull at the wind up on an unsat-
isfactory bank statement and a widespread
feeling in the East that monetary striDgency
is impending. There may be some ground for
this apprehension so far as Wall street is con-
cerned, but funds are easy for legitimate busi-
ness, and likely to remain so during the season
The scare is no doubt due to the bad condi-
