by the defendant was committed was
also at Kern county. The plaintiff was

THE WORLD OF BUSINESS
Wan Street Rsyis ".

New York. March 6.-Stocks were
dull during the greater part of the day,
the total sales were only 1s3.275 shares.
Apathy characterised the dealings un-
til the last hour Of business, when fairly
large amounts OF Tobacco came upon
the market. The late decline in the
general list was due to an unfounded
report of the serious illness of ]. p. Nor
gan and to vague rumors from WASH
ington that the president would en-
dorse the action Of congress In the
Cuban matter. Tobacco and Chicago
Gas were the particularly weak spots
Tobacco fell from 76A to 73ss. and closed
at the lowest point of the day. Profess
sional operators were the heaviest sell
lers Of the stock on western reports
that the opposition concerns were cut
ting into the revenues of the company.
Chicago Gas fell to 65ss from 667s on
the announcement that there would be
no decision in the reorganization case
until October. Rubber common
dropped from % to 22h, and later re-
turned to 24A. The dissensions In the
directory caused the break. Sugar and
General Electric were comparatively
firm throughout. London bought lit
tie st. Paul and sold some Louisville
and Nashville. but the foreign opera
tion had no special influence. Balti
more and Ohio fell to 13 on fears of q
big assessment and then returned to
las on covering of short contracts.
The decline In the other railway issues
ranged from !. to lh per cent The
closing was weak. Net changes show
losses of Aaess per cent, Tobacco lead
ing.

THE MARKETS STRONG.
Railway Earnings Are Satisfactory and
business Appears 10 be on o Sub
stautiai Fouudation- Dun's Review.

New York, March 6.--R. G. Dun & Co,
in their weekly Review of Trade, VIII
say tomorrow: Failures for the week
have been ESQ in the United States,
against 234 last year, and 6S in Canada,
against IS last year.
The Cuban resolutions and the ap-
pointment OF receivers for the t5alti.
more and Ohio were events of sufficient
importance to affect almost any genu-
inc market, especially for securities. 1t
therefore argues either remarkable
strength Of conditions or an entire want
OF life and genuineness in the market
that the prices OF the sixty most active
railroad stocks, which averaged $4s.16
per share since February !. have never
fallen since that date lower than 1895
nor risen above $50.S5 per share. The
market is largely under the control OF
operators who cannot afford to see 1t
decline much. but it Is also true that the
vote ON Cuba and the receiverShip hau
both been discounted.
The strength of the market IL largely
due to more satisfactory reports OF rail-
way earnings The volume of business
reflected by clearing house exchanges
Is not materially improving. the weeks
returns showing gain of only SO per
cent. over last year and a decrease Of
176 per cent. in comparison with the
same week of 1898. 1t must yet be
broadly stated that business appears to
improve only In prospect, and In the
confidence on which future transac-
tions may be based. but not as yet In
actual sales accomplished.
Prices Of wool have declined an aver
age of "a per cent. within the month Of
February, presumably because Of the
failure of the proposed tariff BILL which
included duties on wool. At present the
sales are the smallest recorded for
years. There Is no Improvement what
ever In the demand for woolen goods,
and q number of establishments have
closed or reduced working force. Some
further reductions have beeen made In
prices of cotton goods. although it does
not appear that the concessions have
thus far been unsuccessful in calling
out new business. Reports are fire.
quent that many of the largest mills
are about to stop production for time
in order TO give the market opportunity
to clear itself.
Speculation in breadstuffs has not
been particularly active, nor has the
change In prices been important. West
ern receipts OF wheat were 2,301, 900
bushels, against 1,S24,0OO for the same
week last year. Atlantic exports again
fall behind those of last year. amount
ing for the week to 1.5i1 900 bushels,
flour included. against 1.SS0.000 last
year. With continuing large receipts.
corn remains substantially unchanged
In price. The cotton market has con-
tinued Its downward movement, spots
having fallen 3-l6 again and the May
option points. Receipts continue as
before large az to render quite admis-
sible the low estimates of the crop OF
1895, and at the same time the prepara-
tions for planting this year go on at
such scale that It is believed by many
conservative observers that the crop,
with favorable weather. may prove one
OF the largest on record
