1896.
Are You Willing to Listen to a
Suggestion?

The NEw York TRInuNR's broad columns and
large print make it the easiest paper in the country
to read, either on the cars or at home.
Henry Romeike, proprietor of the largest News
paper Clipping Agency in the world, ~testifies in a
published card, that his clippings for over 1900
clients show that THE TRIBUNE contains, ebay by
day and week by week, far more original matter
than any daily newspaper in New York City," He
proves the fact by figures. The WEEKLY ranks the
same.
Business men find the market reports of THR
TRIBUNE absolutely without an equal. THE TRI-
BuNE is the only newspaper in New York City
whose reporters actually visit all the different mar
kets in person.
The TRIBUNE now prints the best and freshest
humorous pictures of the day from the comic press
of two continents, and supplies plenty of other
entertainment.
By its special kilograms and correspondence its
able editorials and high literary character, The
TRIBUNE maintains a splendid position in the re-
gard of Republicans and lovers OF music, art and
good books.

Chicago, ILL.,, March 7.-Wheat began this

check from puts" both daily and weekly.
These privileges had been sold very freely,
and the demand for wheat by those who
held them proved sufficient to lift the mar

items of bearish news. The exports from

Corn eased off fraction, but did not

Oats-A fairly steady oats market was
noted but there was no trading entitled to

May oats closed unchanged from yesterday.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.

New York, March 7-(Special.) 1.-The first
week of spring has been marked by in
creased depression in the price of cotton.
May deliveries were sold on Thursday as
low as 1882 Yesterday there was some inn
proyement and today, stimulated by
advance in Liverpool, opening prices were
higher, May selling at 7.45, but the buying
power was not sufficient to sustain the adj
vance and most of the Improvement was
lost, May declining to 7.39 and closing at
TAO bid. with the tone quiet but steady.
The speculative situation at the moment
possesses some remarkable features In
previous seasons the differences in price be-
tween the months have been powerful
factor in supporting values, the premiums
the successive deliveries between jan
uary and September usually enabling and
encouraging capital to carry large lines of
spot cotton at profit which was often
handsome, generally remunerative and al
ways safe. Now, Notwithstanding the abun-
dance and cheapnesss of money, cotton can
not be carried except at a heavy loss, the
difference between May and August having
gradually melted away until today 1t is
barely points Then as to the next crop
months the case Is even worse. In other
years there have been double and wide DIFF
ferepces of opinion before planting time as
ITO the probable yield of the coming crop
Now there seems to be substantial agree
ments In opinion among the well informed
that the next crop will be the largest in the
HISTORY of cotton, few estimating below
10, 600, 900 bales, and many at much higher
figures. Under such circumstances 1t is on
ly natural that spectators should run away
whenever speculation is offered them, and
that spinners should refuse to buy except
from hand to mouth. The feeling here is
that cotton is likely to be lower with each
succeeding month. The only buying seems
to be to cover shorts. But the market is
liable to be oversold, and this may from
time to time cause sharp rallies Many
are depending on such a rally for next
week. The receipts are rather light, and
with further encouragement from Liverpool
the rally may come. If it should we shall
regard it as a better opportunity to sell
cotton.

Dry Goods.

New York, March although the dry
goods market today has been extremely
quiet in all departments, quite a number of
agents are able to report some improve
ment in their aggregate business for the
week. This increase is clearly traceable to
current requirements exercising pressure on
a greater number of buyers, as the orders
coming to hand have still been of quite a
conservative character and transactions of
moment have been conspicuously rare. The
tone at the close of the week is dull
throughout for both cotton and WOODEN
goods, but the market can hardly be quot9d
lower than at the close of last week.
