In W all Street.

New York, March 19.-The action or lack of action of today's stock market can only be interpreted as the accuraet reflection of the overshadowing uncertainty of the Cu- ban question. Last Saturday the threat ening aspect of the situation coupled with the recollection of the development of preceding Sunday in the suggestion for the recall of Gen. Lee led to reckless short selling by the traders, driving the market to point even lower than the Monday market succeeding the Lee incident. The pinching administered to the reckless bears in the rebound of last Monday made them extremely cautious about putting out short lines in today's market. Even the shorts, who were driven to cover did not venture to renew their selling. The consequence was an almost lifeless market at this time Prices drifted aimleSsly up and down over narrow range. Only a little over 100000 shares changed hands during the days short session.
 The bond market was equally dull The bank statements showed an unexpected in- crease in the surplus reserve, but the net increase in specie by no means reflected the receipts of imported gold during the week and the stock of legal tenders was mate rially reduced. The lowering of the legal reserve level by $1,S26,000 through the re- the increased surplus. The $1o,6 600 con- traction in loans is clear enough evidence that the heavy receipts of gold from abroad are insufficient to maintain the bal ance of the money market in spite of distinctly easier tone of money in the last days of the week. u il

sympathetically After the opening the market became very dull until just before the close, when the execution of few selling orders caused it to weaken. Au- gust opened at GOA, declined to cents and closed at to 6.O1, with the tone of the market easy. Apart from the political situation, the trade here is much perplexed over market probabilities. Reports from the south indicating very little reduction in acreage and splendid weather for planting preparations have resulted in somewhat increasing bearish sentiment. The south is also inclined to offer more freely and the European demand is diminishing, although the bears hold most of the cards at pres ent, they are by no means confident. They recognize the fact that cotton below cents is a dangerous thing to sell, that the key to the situation is the new crop, and that the contingencies of the season are against them. While feeling friendly to cotton we would only buy it on good breaks

Paine, Murphy & Co.'S Stock Letter.

Birmingham, Ala, March 19-London fully sympathized with our sharp advance at the close yesterday by opening on a parity with our closing prices and closed unchanged from the opening. This was considered encouraging in the face of the many conflicting war rumors, both at home and abroad, and caused local speculators to doubt the course of todays events. At the opening prices were irregular to frac- tionally lower, the industrials being among the weakest Sugar opened at a decline of point under the pressure of several re- cent sales, but quickly responded to liberal short covering. The entire list showed a fractional gain at the close, with the un- dertone steadier than at any time during the week. Although the possibilities of a conflict with Spain are still imminent yet the withdrawal of our fleet from Cuban waters and the stopping of the Spanish fleet of torpedo boats at the Canaries is considered forerunner of an amicable solution of this affair, and should there be any material delay in the publication of the Maine board of inquiry's report we look for sharp advance next week.

ARMY REORGANIZATION BILL
Was Considered by Military Affairs Committee
 Xacfnrdav

Washington, March 19-The military af- fairs committee of the house held spe- cial meeting today to consider the bill for the reorganization of the army. The bill in so far as it organized the army into what is known as three battalion forma- ton, met with the unanimous approval of the members of the committee. Some criticism was made of thep hraseology of that portion of the bill authorizing the president in time of war to expand the skeleton batalions and recruit the regi- ments and companies up to the full strength provided for in the bill.
 Several members desired the language of the bill to forbid unequivocally the strengthening of the army except in time of actual recognized and declared war, and this suggestion was unanimously concurred in and the change in the phraseology was ordered.
 The whole text of the bill was not gone over at todays meeting, but at the ses- sion on Monday it will be completed and reported to the house for action.
 The section authorizing the president, in his discretion, to establish a third bat talion for each infantry regiment as orig inally drawn reads: Tn time Of war the president" etc. As amended it reads: Upon declaration of war made by con, gross or a declaration by congress that war exists, the president" etc.
 motion was also made to strike out section of the bill, which provides that the president may in time of war facilitate recruitment to their war strength, etc., and authorize each regiment of the army to draw it's recruits from such state or states as may be designated by him. It was argued that this lodged in the president the power to discriminate against certain states. No conclusion was reached on this amendment and it was still pending when the committee adjourned.
 An additional section was proposed to the bill, as follows: That no troops shall be called out by the president for any longer term than for one year, unless peace is declared sooner without the ap- proval or direction of congress- This amendment is also pending.

SILL AT LARGE,
The Conyicts Who Escaped From Coalburg Have
 Not Been Captured.

Nothing has been heard of Bob O'Donnell. Henry Kelly or Joe Ward, the three con- vlcts who escaped from Coalburg, nor has there been anything heard from the horse and carriage which disappeared from Ave nue A and Twentieth street the night of their escape The impression that they were the parties who stole the turnout has therefore been strengthened.
 Another fact which seems to indicate that they passed through Birmingham has been brought to light. When O'Donnell was living high on his ill-gotten gains in this city he risided with a woman in Sec ond alley Night before last this woman had a mysterious visitor, who arrived shortly after 10 o'clock and staid for only

THEY RIDICULE IT.
MANY PEOPLE RlDlCUlE THE IDEA OF AN ABSOLUTE CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA
 AND STOMACH TROUBLES.
Ridicule, However, Is Not Argument, and
 Facts Are Stubborn Things.

stomach troubles are so common and in many cases so obstinate to cure that peo- pie are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy claiming to be radical, permanent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such pride themselves on never being hum bugged, especially medicines.
 This fear of being humbugged may be carried too far; so far, in fact that many persons suffer for years with week diges- tion, rather than risk Q little time and money in faithfully testing the claims of a. preparation so reliable and universally known.
 Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vast ly different in one important respect from ordinary proprietary medicines for the req son that they are not a secret patent medi-, cine, no secret is made of their ingredi- ents, but analysis shows them to contain the natural digestive ferments. pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids, golden seal, bis.

May wheat opened at $1.05h, rallied to $107 until the last few minutes, when the Letter crowd attempted to unload a part of their large holdings. This caused semi-panic and prices tumbled rapidly and were only checked by the gong, after the May option had declined 4c from the highest It Is impossible to ascertain the exact position of the clique tonight, but 1t looks as if lower prices were in sight. The coarse grains and provisions were practd- cally neglected.

 New York, March 19.-A market liable at any time to be violently affected by political news is not one that invites the confidence of the general public. Such market we have had this week in cotton, and operators generally have left it severe ly alone. Conditions apparently more fa- vorable to a peaceful solution of the Span ish trouble have allayed the alarm which marked the close of last week and prices have held their own. Today the market eased The weekly movement evidently discouraged Liverpool and that market cabled decline of one sixty-fourth. The opening here was one to two points lower

Dry Goods


 New York, March 19.-The market Tor dry goods has been subject to many vary ing influences during the week. Ihe Ia yorable and unfavorable influences dur ing the week have about balanced each other, and at the close the market re mains where it was at the opening with the exception of print cloths, which have lost ground There has been falling oH or the buying in some lines on account or lnter- national situation, but there has been d gain on account of actual needs. In staple . cottons the market is generally firm, the degree of strength being registered by nte stocks on hand almost entirely. For lh- stance, advances are reported on some lines of wide sheetings. But in the main there is no change in the tone of the market; Print cloths are quoted nominally at z1s Hess per cent, but the best price extras can command is 21-16. Odd goods are obtainable at prices based on the above quotations. The sales have been very light during the week and stocks have ln- creased.
 Woolen and worsted goods are slow.
