NEW YORK March 9.-The result of to-
day's trading was irregular, some of the spe-

A BOOT AND SHOE TRUST.

NEW YORK, March 9.-A special dispatch
from Boston to the Commercial Advertiser
says: The shoe and leather men of this city
and the shoe towns of the State are greatly
interested in a proposition that has been made
to form a national boot and shoe trust. 1t ap-
pears that the matter was broached to manu-
facturers by Smith & Ryan of Chicago. A
small meeting was held, but action was
taken. The meeting adjourned with the idea
that the trade should be canvassed and the re-
suit be reported at a later meeting There
seems to be a decided difference of opinion
The largest manufacturers generally throw
cold water on what they call feeble attempts to
form q combination. The project for an upper
leather trust is being actively pushed The
movement is already considered a success, al
though the promoters have not gone quite far
enough to make the announcement of details.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO March 9.-The prospect of any
Improvement in the value of wheat looked very
bad AT the commencement. The only food for
the bulls was the Michigan State crop report
which said that four-fifths OF the crop had
been seriously damaged by cold. On the other
hand Liverpool cables came I'D to 5sd lower.
California had received a sprinkling of rain
and Russia officially reported last seasons win
ter crop II per cent larger than year ago
with spring crops better by II per cent. The
Price Current rather bearish. May wheat
opened at 014Q709s, and on liquidation got
news received from correspondents of commits
sion houses became worse and more positive
about the injury done than has previously been
the case. California dispatches said the rain
had been inadequate and the conditions of the
winter wheat was still very poor. Shorts in the
meantime had covered freely. The market be
came very strong in the last hour California
sent further dry weather dispatches and frost
damage reports were numerous as the war
heavy purchases for export also stimulated the
demand. May closed at 71asc, an advance Of
The strength in corn was due apparently to
continued confidence in the short crop theories
of the bulls May left off 15c higher.
Oats ruled firm in sympathy with wheat and
corn. May closed Hc higher.
The notable feature of the provision market
was the weakness of pork, while lard and ribs
were firm good many spectators had
spreads between pork and other speculative
commodities. and TO the uncovering OF some
of these spreads was ascribed the irregularity
of the market Pork left off 7l2c lower, and
lard and ribs unchanged.
