MARCH COTTON

 Was Downward.
SPECULATION WAS ACTIVE

New York, February 16-The cotton market opened barely steady and points higher to 3 points lower It was clear from the first that the trade looked for no rally, but was prepared to work against the entire list should the situa- ton take a turn favorable to such a move. Light port receipts and cables fully as good as expected, for a moment held bears in check, but soon general selling set In on a large scale.
 Stop orders on March holdings were reached shortly after the call, and served to undermine long cotton for later de- livery March promptly broke 10 points with the latter deliveries following though at a more moderate pace The break was attended by considerable ex- citement and more active speculation than recorded in some weeks. There was little growth In commission business, however, the public feeling the liquida- tion of cotton now held in New York warehouses. In fact the action of March did much to confirm opinions in this re- spect. While there was slight reaction later in the morning on flurries of room profit-taking, the general course of the market was downward. The market closed steady with prices net unchanged to 6 points lower.

-, p Protest. 'n. -
r Washington, July 23.-Ihe treasury
department has sent, to the state de-
partment a reply to the note of the
Italian government on the question Of
Secretary Cages tentative order as
sessing countervailing duty on sugar
imported from Italy. Although the
text of the note will not be made pub
lie at present it is known that it con-
tains less than 400 words and says in
substance that some time ago copy
of a section of the Italian laws on the
subject Of the sugar came into the
possession of the department which
fairly created a strong presumption
that the effect of the law was to give
a bounty on sugar exports. There
upon the secretary issued an order to
collectors stating that until the ques-
tion was finally settled by further in
vestigation they would collect the ad-
ditional duty. This duty would be re-
turned to importers if it was subse-
quently found that the Italian laws did
not warrant its imposition. The treas
ury department has Ssked for a full
copy of the Italian laws on the, subject
and until it's arrival no change will be
made in the order now in force.

Duty on Porto Rican Imports illegally
Collected.
Washington, July 23.-Attorney Gen.
eral Knox has declined to render an
opinion, which was asked for by the
secretary OF the treasury on the
question whether or not, under exist
ing laws, the secretary is authorized
to refund the duties collected on goods
imported from Porto Rico between the
date of the ratification of the Spanish
treaty and the date that the Foraker
act went into operation. The attor-
ney general says that inasmuch as the
comptroller of the treasury has given
his decision on the subject, it is a
matter for him (the comptroller) alone
and he, therefore, can not give a de-
cision as requested.
1t is authoritatively stated at the
treasury department that the govern
ment will proceed Immediately to re-
fund those duties, acting upon the de-
cision Of the comptroller of the treas
ury, which was to the effect that the
treasury department had authority un-
der existing law. The duties amount
approximately to $2,000,000.

:. Chicago, July 23.-With. the West
ern corn field withered and no relief
in sight traders in grain made desper-
ate attempts to buy the yellow cereal
in this market. Opening bids were
wild, ranging from 81 to SO, from to
4 cents over Saturdays close. Shorts
who put out lines at Saturdays en-
hanced values were frantic bidders.
Buying for the country account also
was on a heavy scale. On the bulge
profit-taking sales were liberal. Sep
tember worked back to IS cents, but
rallied to So 7-8 cents.
In the -oats pit the corn excitement
the most difficult to trade in, owing to
the reluctance of almost everybody to
sell. September opened 3-S to / 10
cents higher at SO 1-S to 81 1-2 cents,
touched 38, fell on realizing to 36 3-4,
and then shot up to SO.
Wheat opened scarcely less wild
than corn. September sold 5-S to
7-S cents higher, at 81 IL to 70 3-4.
The dry hot weather and sympathy
with corn were the leading influences.
A decline to So ga followed the open
ing. Then the market gathered i'm
mense strength and rushed up to II 1-2
cents. Worlds shipments last week
were 7,615.000 bushels, while the
quantity afoat showed decrease Of
1,984,000 bushels.
! September wheat, under stress OF
damage in the Northwest, where the
heat Is said to have injured the spring
sown crop, advanced later to 73 cents
and closed 7-S over Saturday at

September corn advanced to SO 7-s
and closed s-S cents higher at SO H.
September oats went to 38 IL cents.
