Chicago. March 25. -Liquidation

had much to Go with the decline which
was accompanied by heavy liquida-
ton. Professionals covered freely

than satisfied them. Reports that the
duty on wheat had been removed by
Germany and a cablegram stating that
the potato crop in the United King
dom was the smallest since 1884, had
little or no effect. Sales of thirty boat
loads at the seaboard and the A1odern
miller report alleging serious damage
to the growing plant in California,

the recent cold wave, started a buy

rallied prices a full cent. May sold

MINING STOCKS.

From the private wires of F. B. Mabbitt

New York March 25.-The tenor of
the numerous Washington specials
and dispatches indicate that the Pres
ident apparently hopes to avoid war
with Spain, and despite the fact that
there is a comparatively large short
interest in the active shares, the bears
evlnce but little anxiety because OF the
absence Of any important outside sup
port. 1t has been unamblguously DEM
onstrated that the investment public
would rather purchase stocks at an adj
vance of 3 to points than TO take
hold Of the market TO any conspicuous
extent at time CT uncertainty. Sew
eral of the large operators cannot see
any reason for changing from the bear
TO the bull side, and still think that
hostilitieS may be forced upon us
through intervention. The friends CT
Manhattan were rather bewildered to-
day by the sudden change in the stu
alton. The position taken by Mayor
Van Wyck with reference to a bond is
sue was regarded as essentially de-
feat for the underground tunnel meas
ure. Tte killing of the bipartisan bill

unfavorable for Manhattan Arbitra ge
houses said the dealing in stocks is
more difficult now than in any previ-
Gus time in weeks. The London mar
ket is in an extremely nervous condi-
ton, and this makes quotations alto
gether unreliable, which tends greatly
to check trading. Both the Tobacco
trust and the Whisky trust are cred
tied with being back OF movements tc
organize competition against them
selves, as being the easiest way to get
rid of competition. The theory is that
an agreement can be easier made with
ore large competitor than with numer-
Gus small ones. The Chesapeake and
Ohio February statement showed net
earnings of S273,146. For eight months
OF this fiscal year, the net earnings
have been 81, ,97S, deducting esti-
mated fixed changes, $2,019,24S there
is left a surplus of $542,73 for the
stock. This is equivalent to about "a
per cent on the outstanding stock.

Cottons are generally weaker and sales
are light in all divisions of the mar
ket. Jobbers generally assert that the
demand is extremely light locally as
compared with that OF previous weeks.
In other sections of the country, ex-
cept few such as the Ohio River Val
ley, the spring trade has been well sus-
tanned with retailers and also with job
bers. Export buying is still quite Inn
tied. Print cloths are still very weak.

pork more especially was urgent for a

chicago, March 25-Bears took adj
vantage of the situation and utilized
prevalent influences to the full extent
OF their worth. Heavy Argentine ship
ments lower cable quotations from
Liverpool, spring-like weather over
the entire winter wheat producing sec
tloh and large domestic receipts were
SO aggressive that few moments af-
ter the initial transactions had been
posted july was selling cent below
last nights close Continued weakness
IN the stock market and the entire
absence of outside buying were also
against the bulls. Shorts covered
sparingly on first dip and produced a
slight reaction, after which the market
lapsed into dullness. Argentine ship
ments for the week were 100000
bushels against $4,000 bushels last
week and $4,000 bushels last year
Liverpool cables showed a declines
averaging sd at the opening, part Of
Whlch was recovered and had steady
ing influence. Receipts at Chicago,
Minneapolis and Duluth aggregated
AZ cars against 483 cars last week and
45l year ago. Seaboard acceptances
amounted to about 125, 600 bushels. At
tunes there was waiting disposition
IN the market and the values were
left at the mercy of professional room
traders and scalpers. Weather condi-
lions and improving country roads led
10 considerable liquidation in corn.
The weakness in wheat, too, was
depressing factor. Oats were weak on
general liquidation, induced by same
influences, which predetermined in
corn. provisions opened lower on
large receipts and liquidation.
