the price had gradually declined to 93is

more readily than II did yesterday The
market had been rather oversold any
way and the jump in January coming

OF n report that n British gunboat had

ammunition In the Gulf OF Oman and
consigned TO Russian houses, started
shorts In q hurried hunt for cover. The
top price OF the day was reached on this
bulge, May closing decidedly strong Mt

in the day, but rallied to and closed at

Not much was done in corn. There
was a little trade early, but the market
soon became very inactive. The busi-
ness done was Chiefly OF q scalplns
nature. The market In the main was
firm under the Influence OF strong cables
and the recent large exports. Later the
rally OF wheat had Its effect, the best
prices of the day ruling at the close.
May ranged from 29k 9297.c to 29hc and
closed &c higher at 29hI29Hc.
Oats were very duh but firm, the
principal influence being large seaboard
clearances, $4,000 bushels. Shorts were
the best buyers, but prices were almost
at standstill til near the close, when
the rally In wheat increased trading n
little and also helped prices. Cash sales
Of 100000 bushels was a factor. May
ranged from 23S02ic and 23%@23Tc
and closed &c higher at 237S62lc.
Provisions were active and steady,
though prices ruled little under yester-
days figures. Llgt receipts OF hogs and
fairly good commission house buying
started prices shade higher, but in
creased offerings from packers caused
moderate reaction. There was q subse-
quent partial rally with wheat. At the
Close May pork was sc lower at 50 97h;
May lard &c lower at 81 sIis and May

ON EXHIBITIONS.

There are various reasons why eNhibi-
,ons OF Photographic work are not so
common in this county as In England,
says a writer In Camera Notes. The
densar population, making any given
point accessible TO vast number OF
people. Is probably the greatest factor.
70 this more compact population Is due
the fact that there photographers have
longer been formed into associations.
While In our larger country there is an
imposing number OF clubs. It must be
admitted that but few OF them do more
than struggle Cor existence. owing to
me limited number available for mem
bsrship. Even in our larger cities there
are few clubs In such condition as will
justly engaging In n large enterprise,
or making all experiment involving dill
issn; labor and the expenditure OF some
money. The result OF the consolidation
" ;wO good clubs In New York City
shows the advantage OF large member
ship with It's greater number OF efficient
LADDERS. For the fact must not be over
iSaked that in any work OF this charac-
t.T able generals are essential.
One society," In London holds this year
Is far;y-second annual exhibition, and
the world contributes cheerfully to
make Ii scccess. We have only n
memory OF the joint exhibitions. which
came to an untimely end three years
years ago. The idea OF these joint exhIb-
iiions was good one. and the outcome
should have been an annual exhibition
In each Of the three cities. But the hu-
initiating fact remains that. three OF our
largest and most cultured cities could
TO! ma!niala good exhibition once in
three years.

CHICAGO-January wheat again re-
ceiyed the attention OF the Letter
brokers to-day. In the last ten minutes
trading the price OF that delivery was
rushed up from around seize to 81 Of and
II closed at 81 90, an advance OF 2ihsc.
The effect on May was more marked
than during yesterdays January closed:
May closed at &c advance, the gain be-
Ing directly the result OF the advance in
January. Corn and oats were helped by
the strength OF wheat to the extent OF
&c each. Provisions declined 2h95c.
For the greater part OF the session in
wheat the market was decidedly unin-
terestIng. II anything traders were in
ciined. 20 the bear side and prices for
some time were shade below yester-
days closing figures. The opening was
firm enough. May starting at 9iIs194Ac
an advance OF h9ssc, while July was Il
THc higher at S5hc. This was partly
due 10 the ilrmnesS at Liverpool, where
I'D advance was shown. The destruc-
ton OF the East 81. Louis elevator also
had some effect as II was expected to
cause buying from there. The con-
trary proved 10 bc the case. New York
reported good foreign demand with the
May price up &c. Against this was the
big snowfall and the bearisiness thus
caused was especially marked In July
There was no signs OF renewal of the
Letter bidding for January, which ran
the price of that delivery up to 81 90 yes
terday, but nevertheless the sudden adj
vance In prices which; that Hfanoeuvrc
caused yesterday made tho bears rather
timid and each attack on May was fol-
lowed by n rally. Toward midday,
however. tho market was allowed to ga &.

NEW YoRK-Returns showed COM
parativeTy fair results In all lines OF dry
goods to-day. The market for staple
cottons Is still featureless. but there is
decided strength about oil branches
OF cotton goods which sustalns sellers
IN their opinion that better things are
to be expected. The market for print
cloths holds Its own well. The sales of
odd goods are OF very fair proportions
and prices are we'll sustained. These
arc the encouraging points in the mar
ket. The most discoura.ing feature Is
the baCkwardness OF buyers.
