The Speculative Market Placed in a
Peculiar Position.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 19.-The speeu-
lative market for wheat was in a peculiar
position this morning. The question as
TO the margins on the 10000 tons of May
option, which the McGlaufiin pool bought
on Friday last, was not settled, yet it was
evident that the pool had complete con-
troll OF the market outside of this Call
Board dispute. The great fear had been
that the pool did not possess the money
TO contine the deal.
The directors of the Call Board, who
had fixed the value for marginal pur-
poses for seller May wheat at 81 %, have
been sustained in their action by the at
torneys of the board. The question which
arose this morning was whether the
check for 100000, which mad been ten
uered by McGlautiin last Saturday, was
sufficient security for the margins on
Fridays purchases. This point was raised
to-day, and until the Call Board directors
have advice upon the matter, the wheat
situation as regards May options will be
somewhat mixed.
The pool itself was not idle in support
ing its position this morning. Soon after
the board met and 81 094 bid and 81 10
asked were given out as quotations for
May options, without transactions, some
big buying orders came in, and almost
before the short interest was aware OF it
81 l44 was bid for all the May wheat they
cared to sell.
At the P. NJ. session May wheat de-
clined to 81 13. Afterward the price re-
acted to 81 13s, where it closed for the
daV.

PARIS, March 19.-The threats of q
crisis which was caused by the action of
the Senate refusing to take action on the
measure, which had previously passed
the Chamber of Deputies, creating Min
istry of the Colonies, instead of having
that department directed, as mas been the
case up to the present. has been averted,
and Premier Casimir- Perier is again VIC
torious.
When the Premier learned of the Sen-
ate that its failure to act upon the measure
referred to, he promptly called special
session of the Senate to-day and allowed
1t to be known that he would not remain
in power without vote of confidence on
the part Of the Senate.
In the Senate to-day, after a concilia-
tory speech on the part of the Premier,
the Chamber of Deputies bill creating
Ministry OF the Colonies was approved,
and later the Senate agreed to the grant
asked for in regard to the creation of this
new Ministry by a vote of 2l6 TO 81.
The Premier was warmly congratulated
by friends upon the result Of the affair.

viGcd in the Constitution. They cited in
The decisions of the court to prove that no
private right was involved and that the
Governor in removing Orr and Martin
for causes stated in writing and not of a
political nature, had exercised right in
herent in his office, and no court had the
right to review his action.
The court took the matter under ad-
visement. Its decision is not expected
until the latter part of the week.
At the City Hall nearly all traces of the
recent bloodless war have vanished. A
large number of the conservative police
officers hold a secret meeting to-day and
decided that they would not again resort
to arms to defend their positions. One of
them stated they realized now they were
led into trap when they signed an agree
ment TO stand by the board regardless of
consequences. The officers who refused
To sign this agreement were dropped
from the force.
Some questions asked the attorneys by
the Judges indicated that the latter are of
the opinion that the Governor made the
solemn occasion" by calling out the
militia, and with an opinion as TO his
right to do so. 1t is feared the court viii
refuse to give an answer 10 the Cover -Or's
question. The contempt case against
Mayor Van Horne and the new Commis-
sioners in the District Court was post
poned. Mr.. Rodgers Of the counsel for
the defense insisted that after affidavitS
had been filed against the Governor he
should also be brought in for contempt,
and the question whether this court had
exceeded its authority will be tested.
