The market was dull today and even the
specialiies, such Sugar and Tobacco
showed less activity than for some time, but
both stocks were strong. A Washington dis
patch states that the Senate committee Is
willing TO yield everything in the Sugar
schedule except the reduction Of lilo of a
cent per pound on the duty on sugar testing
81 degrees and below but il is on this point
that the members of the House are most obsti-
nate.
In relation TO Sugar, ID is now stated that
for some time past Mr.. Havemeyer has not
owned controlling interest in the company
II il also declared that il is the intention of
the few men who control the company to take
the stock from the speculative list and place

In London today Americans were strong,
but the general market was without special
features and home rails were dull On this
side the feeling IN commission circles is that
the setbaclrs will be but temporary, and that
the real trend OF prices will be toward inn
provement. The selling has been largely pro-
fessional and has been inferior 10 the buying.

THE COTTON AND GRAIN MARKETS.


The rumors Of wars with Japan and Spain
and the light receipts of new wheat, which
causea > demand from the country millers,
bad the effect in causing the market to open
higher, but the advance was not well held, as
there were too many traders anxious TO real
ize profits at the prices that prevailed at the
opening.
The wheat prospects in Europe do not seem
TO improve and will undoubtedly be below
the average. In Liverpool it was stated that
the shorts were supposed TO be covering two
pence higher. and the wheat holders were en-
abled TO sustain the advance, as the stock is
very small. The consumptive demand is
scarcely sustained, however, but the weather
Ia favorable for the crops.
Paine, Webber a. Co. said today: "The
American farmer, in holding back n fair per
centage OF his crop for better prices, is show
ing vastly better appreciation of the world )
situation than the bear operator, An Ameri-
can crop of $50 100000, or even COO 600 900 bush
els. forms but a single factor in the world S
price problem. The French deficiency alone
il is said, wilt equal the American excess.
The determining factor lies in the worlds OK
cess of supply over demand, which excess,
from deficient yields and diminished re-
serves, now promises TO be the smallest of
late years. The long side of wheat, therefore,
is the safer one."
