WALL STREET SPECULATION
The Markets Dull and the Movement
Purely Professional
Bond Dealings Show Diminished Activity
but Prices are Firm-S Senatorial Debate
lnterferes With Business

Associated Press Special Wire.
New YORK, March 1O.-Today's stock
market fell slightly below yesterdays
market in point of activity, and was
purely professional affair. The debate at
Washington over the Cuban unpleasant
ness again overhung the speculation, and
the sharp talk by several of the senators
had disturbing influence in Wall street.
Apart from the Washington war talk, an
other important consideration is RESPONSE
bile for the continued indisposition of the
outside public to make ventures in the
stock market. This is the uncertainty pre-
vailing in we'll informed banking circles
as to the immediate course of the money
and exchange markets. 1t is claimed that
the present easy rates for call
funds will, if continued, have the
inevitable effect of advancing eX-
change rates to the gold shipping
point. There is reason to believe that to
preclude such development the treasury
department will call sufficient amount of
the money due to it on government bond
account now lying in the government de-
positories to stIffen the money market.
This, of course, would Immediately affect
exchange rates. The present speculation
in Wall street is being conducted almost
entirely on call loans. incidentally these
conditions react upon the market for COM
mercal paper. Tue industrial shares prac-
tically monopolized the attention OF the
trade, and as usual the movements in these
mercurial securities were erratic. Sugar
occupied an unusually negative position.
only 24OO being dealt in as against
a total of 92,7U0 shares in tobacco.
The general market opened firm and
fairly active. London quotations were
slightly higher, although the business in
Americans at that quarter is at a mini
mum. Advances of y per cent in posted
rates for sixty day sterling bills failed to
influence the market. A. raid on Leather
preferred caused slight general break,
but on the declaration of the regular quar-
terly dividends on Manhattan and North
west preferred and recommendation of the
executive committee of the Western Union
OF the regular quarterly disbursement by
the full board tomorrow, stimulated prices.
The late dealings we're quite irregular, as
was the closing tone. Final figures showed
fractional net changes. in most cases adj
vances. Dealings in bonds were on a
diminished scale. but firm tone pre-.
vailed. Slight gains occurred in several
important issues, notably in the Northern
Pacific. Aggregate sales were 81 1902 900.
Government bonds we're firm on fairly
large business, the total sales being $780,
900.

CHICAGO MARKET
The Days Transactions on the Board q
Trade

Inc DAYS TRANSACTIONS on tne bontu Of
Trade
CHICAGO, March 10. - Wheat, which
locked at the close yesterday as il it only
needed confirmation from the private
cablegrams regarding small exports last
week to start in on fresh advance, opened
&c below the previous days closing price,
although the desired confirmation con-
fronted the traders before the session COM
menced. The weakest factor in the mar
ket was the lower cables, Notwithstanding
the fact that this market advanced yester-
day and had a firm close. Liverpool came
I'd lower, which was an unpleasant sur
prise to the trade. That, accompanied by
liberal receipts in the northwest, amount
ing to 467 cars, and the most favorable
weather, caused the opening break and the
weak feeling which characterized the trad
ing during the first hour OF the session.
The only bull factor was the final coahrma-
ton OF the light worlds shipments
last week, which are now officially
100000 below the estimated weekly con-
sumption. But even this was insufficient
to check the weak tendency. The expected
government report of the stocks in farm
ers' hands had n tendency to limit tho
amount of business done, but there was
holders and considerable liquidation re-
suited. Corn was very dull and fluctua-
tons narrower, if possible, than yesterday.
There was fair cash demand. Oats were
rather heavy and though occasionally some
activity was displayed the heavy receipts
had a weakening effect. More activity
was displayed by provisions than usual.
The opening was strong and higher, influ-
enced by the continued small hog receipts
and with good general demand and some
packers buying, prices were well MAIN
tanned.

TILLMAN IN DEEP TROUBLE.
THE SENATOR OUTGENERALED BY
CONGRESSMAN ELLIOTT

The Appropriation for the District
Attorney and Marshal for the Dis
trict of south Carolina the Bone
of COntentiOn-The Senator Claims
Undue Advantage Was Taken Dur
ing His Absence.
Washington, April Ex-senator Tillman
is making a desperate effort to induce
the Senate conferees on the legislative
executive and judicial appropriation bill.
10 reverse their action on the item rela-
tive 10 the district attorney and marshal
for the district of South Carolina.
The cOnferees agreed TO provide for one
set of judicial officers for the Eastern
and western divisions Of the district Of
South Carolina" BY employing that
language. it was thought that the con-
tent!on that has been going on between
the representatives Of the eastern and
western districts would be adjusted TO
the satisfaction Of all concerned. The
House has agreed to the report Of the
conferees, but the Senate has not yet
acted upon il.
Senator Tillman is at work upon the
senators, with a view to having them
reject so much of the report as relates TO
South Carolina, claiming that undue ad-
vantages was taken during his recent
western trip. He contends that the wes-
tern district of South Carolina has been
transformed into a simple division of the
district and he is telling his senatorial
| colleagues that he does not like the idea
| OF being out generated by Congressman
| Elliott of the eastern district, who is
| charged with antagOnizing the
/ senator's proposition to place
| the western district on an independent
/ footing with its own set of officers. He
/ has a bill pending for the establishment
/ of a western district, but he will not press
| II during the present session, because,
| Ii IS said, that he fears the President
| might appoint men to the Offices to be
/ created who are hostile to him. His OBJ
/ ject now is to keep on the statute books
/ the existing law which recognizes THE
| Eastern and Western districts of South
/ Carolina" although only one set of Off
/ GERS is provided for. He has been indus
| triously addressing himself to the sena-
/ tors in charge of the conference report,
with all the vigor at his command to i'm
\ press them with the idea that the "Wool
/ has been pulled over their eyes by his
/ political enemies in the state, while he
| was in the west battling for free silver.
| 1t is understood that he threatens to make
| a scene in open Senate if his request is
| ignored by the conferees on the part of
| the Senate

Albany. Ga, April 26.-Memorial day
was observed in Albany to-day under the
auspices of the Ladies' Memorial Associa-
ton. The Confederate Veterans, the men,
bers of the Memorial Association and
many children bearing beautiful garlands
of flowers assembled at the Episcopal
church at $3.50 O'clock where they were
headed by the Albany Guards and all
marched in order to the cemetery, where
the exercises were held.
capt. John I. sdester, a gallant ex-con-
federate soldier was marshal of the day,
and his opening remarks were followed
with a beautiful and impressive prayer by
Rev. ]. E. Wray
Prof. z. g. Jones, principal of the Alba
ny high school, the orator of the day, was
introduced by ]. S. Davis in his usual elo-
quent manner. Prof. Jones address was
an ora torical gem and his tribute to the
confederate dead and those still living who
fought for the lost cause was as beautiful
as any that was ever spoken.
After the address the graves of our fall
len heroes were decorated with flags and
fragrant flowers by the ladies' and chill
dren. Then the Albany Guards fired three
salutes over the graves of their departed
comrades, which ended the exercises
