Concessions as the Net Result.

| NEw YORK, Feb. 26.-Stock speculation
today was an out and out professional af-
fair, with the bulk of the business CENTER
ing in three industrial and two railroad
stocks. The movement Of prices was ir,-
| regular, with a steady downward trend.
Realizing sales were the feature of the day,
but the range of fluctuations was in the
main narrow. American Tobacco and
Sugar were about equally active, recording
transactions considerably in excess of any
| other shares. The trading as whole
showed a falling off of about $4,000 shares
as compared with yesterdays aggregate
The tone at the opening, in response to
slightly higher quotations in London and
moderate repurchases of stocks sold for
that account in this market yesterday. was
firm, and prices were slightly higher. Liqui-
dations soon became apparent, with the
result of raids by the professionals. Under
the pressure to sell the market abated soon
| after the end of the first hour and pur-
chasing movement by the shorts resulted
in rallies, which, in few instances, were
noteworthy. Pacific Mail was marked up
l y per cent. The gains were held in most
cases until late in the afternoon, when de-
clines of slight Importance occurred in the
general market. The speculation left off
steady in tone and at general concessions
in prices as result of the days opera
tions. The dealings in railway mortgages
were less active than of late and the distri-
button of business was also Indifferent.
Pronounced strength was displayed by
some of the inactive issues. The huctua-
tions in the active list were unimportant,
and values were well-sustained until late
in the day, when prices shaded off under
the leadership of the Northern Pacific.
The aggregate sales were 81 ,722,000. Gov
ernment bonds were actively traded in, the
dealings footing up "a 1000. The mar
ket ruled firm at unchanged quotations.

ORANGES MOVING FREELY

Choice Fruit
The Dried Fruit Situation Unchan ed-The
Advance in Prune Prices Pals to
Create a Demand

r. W. Burnham, manager for r. G. Dun
& Co., furnishes the following review of
local trade conditions:
Trade movement is still sluggish. All
lines, both wholesale and retail, report
business dull. Still the volume of busi-
ness for the month totals quite up to that
of February of last year.
Banks report deposits keeping we'll up,
but they show no disposition to loan freely.
The orange market is in satisfactory
condition. A good demand for choice
fruit and profitable returns.
The market for dried fruit is unchanged: +:
values are nominal. The growers ad-
vanced the price of prunes, but this was
purely arbitrary, in anticipation of an in
creased demand.
There is a dearth of pasturage in the
country and fear that rain will not come
causes hay to advance steadily.

Tho Days Transactions on the Board of
Trade
CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-There was a smaller
trade, the market having more quiet pc
RODS, the range for the session being 94c.
The feeling developed was rather unset
tied and the market rather OH a halting,
hesitating order, operators acting with
more than ordinary caution. The tone at
the start was weak and there was quite
general selling by the holders. who were
much disappointed at the tone of Liver
pool cables. which came in I'd lower in
the face of the advance on this side yester-
day. The market there was said to be af-
fected by the free offerings from Russia.
Northwestern receipts, too, cut something
of figure, but the arrivals in that section,
Al cars, being larger than last week and
year ago. The weather. too was mild
and springlike and added to the weakness.
Under the early selling pressure May,
which opened off &c to &c at 667Sc to
671sc, sold down to 6619c. But later the
market took sudden uptnrn;. it was re-
ported that twenty-four boatloads had been
taken at New York for export and this,
with the report that 100000 bushels had
been taken at Duluth for spring shipment,
! caused some revival of confidence and
some good buying. starting prices up, and
May advanced TO O714c. The exports
| made very fair showing-3Sl 900 BUSH
els-and also had Strengthening ten
dency, 100000 of this amount being in
flour. There was very fair business dur
! ing the last hour, but a marked disposition
| to cover at that advance was developed,
and the price gradually weakened to 66Mc,
closing steady at that price. Corn was
fairly active but easier, the reaction in
wheat and liberal local receipts having
depressing effect Oats were very dull.
Provisions were heavy all day. The large
run of hogs caused a weak and lower OPEN
ing, with no rally unil the close, when
prices advanced somewhat. .'' a}

to do likewise with less OF promi Sc and
more performance.
In closing let me assure you that you
cannot drive me from my duty to the
public by nominating me for otice: you
cannot compel me to suppress the truth
by charging me with personal ambition;
you a neither brighten 10 caiole me
into an admission that hypocrisy is
fidelity, 0 can You convince the
people that the gold-patched political
crazy quilt under which You parad-
inc is the bright. unsuiiied ba nner of
the silver cause.
Sincerely Y ours,
