Chicago, February 27-Enormous

closed a shade higher. Pork lost 1712

Freezing temperatures to-day
throughout the winter wheat belt,
where there was heavy rains yesterday
ard Saturday caused a good deal of
anxiety regarding the winter plant and
the market opened very firm. May
started 13c higher at 1875 07312c, but
met considerable selling by scalpars
Brought about by Indifferent cables and
the price sagged to 73c. The weak
ness did not last long, however, as
Russian shipments last week were
found to have been only 664 200 bushels
and the receipts at domestic markets
indicated some reduction of farmers
deliveries. Chicago received rs cars, of
which only IL graded contract. Min
neapolis and Duluth got $40 carloads,
compared with 600 a week ago and j62
for the same day last year. Worlds
shipments to Europe for the week ag-
gregated 6,324000 bushels, the greater
portion coming from this country. The
visible supply showed 100000 increase,
which about satisfied the expectation
concerning it. Atlantic port clear
ances of wheat and -four for the day
exceed 100000 bushels and New York
reported fresh export sales of 40 boat
loads. The downward tendency of for
eign markets, however, somewhat
dampened the spirits of the bulls and
prevented the full fruition that might
otherwise have arisen from those two
announcements. May did not get
above 731ac and closed at 733sc.
A smaller increase in the visible
than expected, large clearances and
moderate receipts strengthened corn

There was a good demand for oats
from concessions who were takingoffer-
ings on cash lots for shipment and the
market ruled firm throughout. Cash
demand continued good and 100 600
bushels were taken for shipment Re
ceipts were large, amounting to 2.40O
cars. May began &c up al 281sc, ad-
vanced to 281b@2SAc. sold off to 277s

The expectation of finding consider
able addition to stocks of cut meats

provisions. This caused the liquida-
ton of more long property than could
be absorbed without submitting to
some reduction in price and the latter
alternative was accepted. May pork

The Race Question In Cuba.

All the Havana papers have until
of late carefully avoided what the
Cubans generally recognize as the
most important question. The Lucia
says:
"If independence is granted to
Cuba, the gravest problem to be
faced and solved will be the racial
problem. The supremacy of the
whites must be guaranteed. 1t
should be borne in mind by the ne.
groes that there can be no social
equality at any time and no political
equality until q considerable period
has elapsed. Yet it must be admitted
that The negroes, who are numeri-
cally the chief element in the popula-
ton, starved and fought bravely dur
ing the war, while many bespangled
high cockalorums, now struttlng
around Havana in gorgeous uniforms
were in Mexico or Yucatan, lying
