MISCELLANEOUS.

COFFEE AND SUGAR-New York,
March 5-Coffee futures opened steady,
with prices down 10 points in response to
a sharp reaction in both Havre and Ham
burg, latter due largely to heavy Bra
lillian port and interior receipts. There
after market ruled rather tame without
rally most of the session in absence of
investment support Or backing from the
metals interest. Spot demand was
rather more active, owing to an advance
of IL in the price of favored brands
roasted coffee. The market broke badly
in the last ten minutes under liquida-
ton and closed weak with prices 20 to
50 points net lower. Total sales reached
4s, $50 bags, including: March, 6.2O@6. 25c;
April, 6.25c; May, 6.35c; July, 6.45c; Sep
tember, 6.50@6. soc; October and Novem-

including leading tickets. More demand

Coarse-colored cotton dull and irregular.
Print cloths inactive. Prints and ging-
hams quiet and unchanged. Fair bust
ness in silks at steady prices.
METAL MARKET-NeW York, March
Speculative activity in TIN was again
lacking in metal circles today, and this,
together with further loss OF Ell in
London. depressed the local market for
tin materially. 1t opened about points
down and failed to react throughout the
session closing weak at $26026. 25 At
London the close was weak at S119 for
spot and G113 lbs for futures. The lead
market at London was rather irregular
and settled all day. closing los lower
at G13 rs Sd. The local situation, how
ever, remains dull and featureless. The
copper market was inactive, and nominal
hnSinnSS here and abroad ClnSinpr nriCa0
were respectively tic for Lake Superior
and 1880 for casting and electrolytic, and
$40 los for spot, and Ell Is Sd on futures.
Domestic iron markets continue without
important features at old prices. At
Glasgow the closing price OF warrants
was SIS 10d, and at Middlesboro As Cd.
Spelter was unchanged at London and at
New York, with trading of a hand-to-
mouth order.

CHICAGO, March 5.-Leading specula-
tive markets on the Board of Trade We're
dull to a mountaineering degree today.
Save for few minutes at the opening
and an instant at the close, the lethargy
was unbroken. Wheat closed A@$sc
higher; corn &c lower; oats unchanged
and provisions shade depressed
Had the wheat market more than the
barest spark of life left it would have
shown q more decisive response to the
various pieces of intelligence ordinarily
influential in determining prices. May
opened unchanged at 754975$sc, and on
bit Of outside buying advanced to 1880
751ac. A few thousand bushels offered
on this rally sent the market back to
754c, where it Steadied, and for hours
brokers had scarcely enough business to
keep them awake. Towards the end OF
the session commission houses wanted
to fill and order, and the price was bid
trade was actually made at 759sc, high
price for the day, after the close, but
the official close remained at 1878, 14en
CSC over yesterday. The lightneSs of
offerings, and it was this which sustain
ed the market was due to the cold wave
over unprotected fields and to light
Northwestern receipts. Exporters re-
ported IL loads taken. Seaboard clear
ances,-in wheat flour, were equal to 429,-
600 blu, while the primary receipts were
coo bu, compared with 46l,000 bu last
year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
215 cars, against 210 cars last week and
SCI cars q year ago. Local receipts were
167 cars, of contract grade. The world s
visible supply decreased 100000 Blu.
Corn was less dull than wheat. but the
market at that was quiet enough. There
was considerable selling of long stuff at
the start on the cold weather, liberal
receipts of 613 cars and the increased
stocks Pressure was soon removed and
the market ruled steady and profoundly
dull to the close. May sold between 403s
6f40a4c and 40B041c, closed Ac lower at
A7Ec.
Oats were dull and neglected. not in
options. but for the cash product. May
sold between 253sc and 2512c, and closed
unchanged at 2515c Receipts were 377
cars.
From an hour after the opening to
within ten minutes of the close the
transactions in provisions could be count
ed on the fingers of one hand. The mar
ket opened a shade higher, but this
seemed scarcely a fitting response to the
light hog receipts and advanced prices IN
the hog market. This easiness was due
to moderate sales of lard. May pork
closed a shade lower at $14.1212614. 10;
May lard unchanged at S7.45 and May
ribs a shade down at s7,05.
The estimated receipts for tomorrow
are Wheat, 60 cars; corn, go cars; oats,
100 cars, and $4,000 head of hogs.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

DEATH OF MAJOR HERBERT.-Th The
many friends end acquaintance OF
Major William w. Herbert we're shock
ed to learn early yesterday evening OF
his sudden death, which occurred at
his residence on north Washington
street about 2 O'Clock. Apoplexy was
the cause of his death. He had been 10
feeble health for some time, but had
been confined to his bed for only two
days. Yesterday morning he appeared
to be sleeping quietly, and the members
of his family determined not to disturb
him. About 2 O'Clock they decided to
awake him, but when they attempted
10 do so found that his condition was
alarming and summoned DIR. Jones.
Before the latter's arrival, however. the
Major had ceased to breathe. The de-
ceased was seventy-five years of age,
and had been prominent IN business
and politics in this city for half CEN
tury. Previous to the civil war he was
engaged 10 the dry goods business, be-
ing q member of the firm OF IAshby q
Herbert. In the store now occupied by
ID. Bendheim g. Soma. When the war
broke out he volunteered on the Con-
fsderate side, and was appointed COM
misssry, with the rank Of major, on the
staff Of Gen. Lewis Armstead. de had
left Alexandria just previous to the
opening Of hostilities and had gone to
Fauauier county. He served through
