Yesterday in anticipation of a vote OF

disturbing reports and assumptions
regarding the outlook of the Baltimore

statements that the March interest,"
had not been provided for, up TO the
beginning of business on the stock
exchange, resulted in an outpourlng
of stock, depressing the price 5B per
cent to 215s, with an lnslgnlhcant
rally. The mortgages of the company
were also conspicuously weak. Inc
SIS of 1925 fell to SO as against "a yes
terday, and the consolidated 5's OF
1885 were offered at 81, selling co. as
against 106, the last previous sale.
There was renewed pressure against
the market in the final hour. Specula-
tion left off active and weak in tone
at general net losses of fractional eX-
tent.
The railway bonds to-day was affect
ed by the depression in stocks with
the more important losses in the, specu-

MANY FLUCTUATIONS IN WHEAT
Racopniation of Cuba by the Senate
Causes a Heavy Selling Move
ment on the New York
Stock Market.

New York, Feb. 90 Special The
cotton market now appears to rest
upon the merits of the situation. Spec
nlation seems nearly exhausted, and
the future course of prices is Deepen
dent for the most part upon the deVel-
opment Of the demand as related 10 Inc
visible supply. 1t is therefore peru
nent to present few features OF the
statistical situation.
On the basis of a crop this year OF
1880. 900, there is still to come forward
this season 100000 bales against l.
GOO. 900 last wear. 1t seems hardly IKE
Nv we shall get as much as 1,35O,OoO.
In the light Of the above figures, 1T is
evident that the relative strength Oh
the foreign markets as compared Win
tba American markets, is not without
reason. Europe has still large por-
ton of it's supply to secure. America
holds nearly as much cotton as at this
time last year. During the past week,
English spinners have commenced TO
increase their tal1ings in the Liverpool
market. OF all the American markets,
New York is relatively the cheapest.
Experts say the difference as compar-
ed with the Southern markets is at
least &c.
The result is that the stock here has
commenced to move for export.
very moderate delivery OF not over
00O bales has thus far been made on
March contracts. Most OF TINS mas
been taken for export. It is rumored
that arrangements have been privately
made for the shipment OF 25,OO0 bales
additional. Liverpool arbitrageurs
have been large buyers OF contracts
in this market against sales abroad,
a transaction the essence of when IS
transfer from America to Europe OF
the weight of the local stock. The New
York market at the close to-day IS
about is points lower than week ago,
and at figures identical, almost, with
the lowest previously touched on
February nth. There is, however, this
difference. The previous break was
the result of the liquidation OF tired
sneculators. The ensuing recovery
has been lost chiefly through bear
sales for short account. They are pre-
dictated chiefly on the theory that the
immensity of the next crop will carry
cotton to a basis of at least cents
nonnd Whether action on this theory
? ,nt ~ Inst premature remains TO be
seen. The next crop Is not yet planted.
The yicissitudes surrounding 1b, at
least until its maturity in the autumn,
are proverbial Trade in this country
shows an almost constantly rising
average. In Europe it is better than
for years.
The cotton market yesterday opened
higher on unexpectedly favorable Eng
lish advices, Notwithstanding the weak
ness shown by the market yesterday.
This caused considerable alarm on the
mart of local shorts. Some buying was
done on theory that present movement
points to less than 100000 bales, but
gloomy reports from the dry goods
market checked confidence. The mar
ket closed quiet.

CLEARED THE CHURCH.
A Lunatic With a Revolver Causes
Congregation TO Leave.
He Was Disarmed and the Services
Were Subsequently Resumed.

OAKLAND, Cal, April 2o.-A lunatic
with q gun cleared out nearly all the wor
shippers in the First Unitarian church
last night. The mad man who gave the
name of Lewis Porter, went into the
church es soon as service commenced
and took a seat alongside the aisle about
half way toward the pulpit. His nervous
manner end peculiar actions engaged the
attention OF several members of the con-
gregation from the first.
AT the conclusion of the hymn the luna
tic rose from a seat and walked down the
aisle until he reached the pulpit. AS he
walked down the aisle he said in O loud
voice: "This thing is all farce. 1t is a
humbug. Now, want TO have my say
and it won't bs well for anybody to at
tempt TO stop me-
As Porter finished speaking he drew a
revolver but wns quickly disarmed. The
iunatic was tarned over to policeman
and the service was continued.

THEY DUG A TUNNEL.
How Thirsty Sunday Tipplers Evaded
Watchful Police.
Underground Passage From Campbells
Cellar to That of NeIghbor.

Yesterday at IL O'Clock patrolman Tracy
of the Plain street station, was satisfied
that beer was being sold in the tenement
of James Campbell, 1872 Globe street, and
he at once called upon his partner, patrol
man Alfreds, to assist him in making sure
OF the fact. Captain Costine was notified,
who, with patrolman Baker, appeared on
the scene. BY this time there was large
gathering in front OF the house of the
Campbel's and admission was denied to
friend and foe. From the front and back
doors were strongly barred. No amount
of coaxing would persuade Campbell 10
allow anyone TO enter. Captain Costine
did not feol like breaking in the door,
but thought that sooner or later some
one would be obliged to leave the house,
and when this happened il would be easy
for one Of his men 10 gain admission.
The next thing that attracted the atten-
tion OF the police was tine drawing of the
curtain in Camppell's house, and this led
the captain to think that business for the
day had been suspended. 60 it had, SO
far as me sale OF beer was concerned, but
the % or 80 customers of Campbell were
working like beavers in the cellar OF the
house.
In about an hour the captain got tired
of waiting and ordered patrolman Baker
to do guard duty, and when he saw any
signs OF life to let him know at once, and
he would respond, and the hurry-up
wagon would come too.
The patrolman had not been on duty
many minutes when he saw a man no W
and then coming from the front door of
the next house and then one from the
rear door. This continued for two hours
or more when the officer telephoned to
the captain and told him there was
screw loose somewhere. Down came Cap
tain Costipe again, and t his time he got
into Campbell's house. Upon going in
TO the cellar he found that Campbell and
his customers had dug a tunnel from the
formers cellar into that of his next door
neighbor, and that the customers h,
one by enc escaped from the eye Of Patrol
man Baker. 1t is understood than war
rant has b. en- issued for the arrest of
Campbell, as large quantity of beer and
no end of evidence was found in his
itchen.
