COTTON MARKET ];
 RULED PRIMER No Special Activity was Shown
 During the Day. LOSS SUSTAINED TUESDAY Was Recovered Within Few Minutes After the Opening Gall and Fur ther Gain was Scored Later
 in the Morning.
LOSS SUSTAINED TUESDAY

New York, March 15.-Without showing special activity, the market ruled generally firm all day.
 The loss sustained yesterday was recov- cred within the first few minutes and a further gain was scored later in the morn- ing on small rush of shorts to cover, together with moderate buying in the near deliveries by foreign representatives in- spired by unfavorabie news from the cot ton belt and unmistakable evidence of a better feeling in speculative circles abroad. In the afternoon interest in the market fell off to a scalping business except at the close, when an unusual spurt of activity occurred.
 The opening was steady, with prices l to 3 points higher, and almost immedt- ately the lead was increased to a matter of 5 to points. The close was steady at 8 net gain of 4Q5 points.
 Commission houses sold the present crop deliveries in a scattered fashion and took fresh hold on October and January de- llveries. Though the storm in the south interfered somewhat with the wire service and the fact that but few orders were re- ceived was attributed entirely to indiffer- ence.

Paine. Murphy < cc.'s Grain Letter


 (By Private Wire to Paine Murphy & Col Blrm ngham, March 15.-Liverpool contin- ues to send low cables, and very little de- mand for American wheat is evidenced on the other side, while the local markets are dull and heavy. The northwestern farmers continue to send liberal supplies to the mar ket, and Russian and Argentine shipments are not diminishing to an appreciable ex- tent. Our seaboard clearances are very light, and the only bull factor today has been the California crop bulletin, which as- serts that within the next ten days there will be crop failure in that district. This had small stimulating effect, and limited short covering kept the market firm during the first hour, but lack of buying orders and the bearish feeling prevailing in the To- cal crowd permitted prices to sag. Wheat is a sale on all bulges Coarse grains are dull and only moderately firm. while re- ceipts are heavy, and prices will likely re- cede as the season advances. Provisions are heavy. with packers liberal offerers of hog products

 Birmingham, March 15.-Stocks were un- der pressure from the professional element the greater part of the day. Commission house business was Fght, and London sold moderately. The higher rates for call money were used by the shifting of loans incidental to the Chicago and Alton syndi cate payment, and induced a bearish tenn per among traders. Manhattan was sold down nearly 1 per cent. by stockholders disposing of their proportion of the New York issue at par, but later the price ral- Ted per cent.

Professor Dean 9. Worcester, of the
American commission; Mrs. General
Lawton and General Lawton's son ac-
companied the expedition on board a
launch. and sat coollv in an unprotect.
ell boat close to the shore during the
fighting, the bullets splashing about
them.
Today General Hall brought to Ma
Mia the Spaniards whom the expedi-
ton had released from captivity OF
more than year. Lieutenant Larson,
commanding the Napidan, today found
a longmissing Spanish gunboat. which
had been so covered with bushes and
tishnets as to not to resemble a vessel.
The Filipinos having met reinforce.
ments and thinking that the Americans
had evacuated the town, descended
from the hills today, intending to re.
occupy Calamba. General Hall easily
drove them back. General Hall will
leave a garrison at Calamba.

this connection, and there was consid-
cradle excitement over the matter at
the time. This is said to have been
entirely made up by the two men after
Roosevelt's return from the war, but
Roosevelt never approved Of the man

Roosevelt, in his letter to the cab.

cism OF the general course OF the WAL
department, and insisted that the adj
ministration could not afford to be hel |
responsible for Alger. nor to continue
the military policy in the Philippines
or in Cuba He urged that vigorous
and effective operations be insisted on.
This letter was shown to the president
at once, as it was intended to be, and
from his was STATED the renewal of
the demand for Ayers retirement tina,

When the president sent for Roose.

to talk over this letter and try to reach
some understanding that would avoid
hasty action in the matter. 1t was
supposed, after this interview between
the president and Governor Roosevelt,
that the whole matter would go for
two or three months before final action,
and the immediate and sudden resigna.
