showed a further contraction in the volum.
OF dealings and an apathetic tone to the trad
ing which indicated the prevailing disnosi
ton to refrain from speculative activity I'll
conditions become more settled. There Il
continued uneasiness regarding the Cuban
situation, which finds It's reflection In the
large offerings OF securities OH any substan-
tial advance. 1t is the evident sentiment also
that the present conditions so far as they
arc known do not warrant a further decline
in prices. There was strenuous attempt
IN the carly dealings today to mark UP prices
with the purpose of pinchipg small bear
traders, ard probably also for the purpose of
realizing at the higher level.
This maneuver. which proved so success
full yesterday aud Tuesday, brought out
abundant offers but it was soon abandoned
and the hears retained control OF the field
for the rest CT the day
A small amount of urbitrage buying Of Lon
don account aided III The early resistance to
the decline and the strength Of special stocks
tended TO the same end. st. Paul was well
supported in anticipation Of dividend deeiara-
tious which was at the rate of per cent per
IQuufu, though the increase over NHt ItNtHN
late was called an extra dividend. The
strength IN St Paul as compared with taa
other grangars drew Il and Burlington To-
e ther and THEN prices crossed during the
cays St Paul yielded in the final dealings
and fell to thu lowest of the das. Tobacco
was also a strong feature aud helped to sus-
tain the specialtivs. Its tone was decidedly
feverish.
The unsettled and easy tone Of foreign ex-
changes, especially the weakness of Spanish
As in Londou and Paris helped materially to
defeat the efforts TO advance press- The COM
tinued influx OF gold failed to have any effect
Of sustaining the market. Neither did 1t
save the foreign exchange market from fall
ing an additional fraction. There was per
eeptihly easier tone in the rates for call
money and loans at the close were made at
= per cent. Lenders are still loath TO make
time loans.
a large part of the days selling was at
tributed TO Washington account. There IS no
doubt that the bears employed the usual
channels for Washington selling for the sake
of effect and they accompanied IL today by
the circulation Of sensational rumors regard
ing developments In the Cuban situation. Be-
cause of last weeks Washington selling
previous to the publication OF the news OF the
consul generals requested recall. the mar
kct is extremely sensitive to any sensation
from that quarter. Todays net declines are

Arrivals OF chickens were freer today than
for fortnight, but all receipts were quickly
disposed of at good prices. The few turkeys
coming in brought prices above outside
quotations.
Eggs dull and flat at cents. IN some
parts of town grocers were for while re-
failing at three dozen for % cents.
A decline of so cents in cottouseed cake and
meal Is noted.
Everything in tho hog product line is
steady with good demand
Dealers in paints and oils report trade as
brisk A good deal OF work is being done
before the fly and guat season sets in, al-
though It is rather dusty for outdoor work.
Coffee is inclined to be weak but it would
not be surprise any day TO see a marked
advance. as the statistical position should
cause a stronger feeling.

The Williams Flash Co. of New York. In
their circular of March ). say:
The dulIness in refined noted in our last
has continued. and the pressure to sell in
the European markets has caused an easter
feeling there. with the result that what few
orders are being received from that source
are at lower prices. and we see nothing TO
help the refined market until these speculative
lots are sold and enter into cousumptiou
Outside Of the offerings from this source there
is no pressure To sell by the mills and re-
ineries, and il they remain firm there is no
reason why the foreign markets should not
advance to at least parity OF y cents here.
when the lots noted above are sold and out
OF the way and especially as the present
price of refined is below parity with values
now ruling on crude. Lard remains very
steady and the sale OF compound is daily
improving, with the result that the COM
Founders continue to take hold OF crude az
Is cents in Tile Mississippi valley, and 1854
cents In the Atlantic States.
Altogether the market is in healthy CON
dition, and white dull at the moment, there
is nothing in the present situation TO cause
any apprehension and we believe u little pa
thence will be rewarded with gradually higher
prices as the season advances.
We quote prime yellow at DC T. o. b. here;

TttplstUuF tnuErAdys HiaiN-i 49,
The constant uncertainty as 70 the stability
81 freight ratcs and the continual agitation
Tor lower and discriminating rates BY interior
markets far removed from water competition
is amsttes Of no little concern 70 Houston
iohbsrs.
BY reason OF being on tide water and being
the greatest railroad center IN Texas. Hous-
ton should DO the big Distributing center.
Iohbers are not interested altogether in the
inward bound rates. They think that tho
locals out OF Houston should b lowered pro-
portlonateiy to the long haul rates from dis
tant points.
A subject Just now receiving attention Is
the contemplated establishment Of barge
line running between Houston and Missis-
sippf river points. such iine would not
require the outlay OF any vast sum OF money
and is entirely feasible. The saving IN
freigh: rates from ST. Louis and Kansas
City territory alone would soon pay for the
original cost Of the tugs aud harses as we'll
as the operating expenses. Such a line would
greatly reduce rates from all that territory
to Houston and this city would thus become
the great distributing point Tor vast terri
tory. Cheaper local rates from Houston to
the interior would soon be secured and all
parties would derive the benefit.
While no definite action has been taken
there is considerable discussion Of the sub
feet going on and some movement looking
TO its contamination may be iuaugurated at
any time.
