Chicago Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO. March 25.-speculation in grains was of see-ssw nature today. There was less force to the markets than Monday. leaders were less active and there was noth ing for the general trade to follow. Good ness worked against the bulls and at the close May wheat was shade under. May corn % lower and May oats h down. Provisions
 Leaving out crop damage reports. which traders in wheat refuse to consider seriously. there was little news to help the wheat bulls. Cables were indifferent and closed somewhat lower There were continued rains in the goes on passage fiat and New York had foreign acceptances over night The sentiment we'll last week on the break. May opened h @ac down at 72G7ih. but recovered on some , buying for short accounts - The continued mt, long the advances and prices fiuctuated narrowly. Wheat was stubborn to any loss, however, and was as quick to rally from dip as to react from a bulge. The argument that there will be reaction from the recent break helped ped somewhat Late in the day May sold under at 72A Weakness in the coarse grains and in the St. Louis market was well as the pared to the price of last year. worked against good advances. Local receipts were 9i cars. of contract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth re- ceived 2e3 cars. or a total for the three week and sos year ago. seaboard elesr, aSo bushels. Bradstreet's report of worlds stocks showed a decrease of Sss GOO bushels com pared to a small increase year ago.
 Corn heavy at the opening cables and continued weak most of the session Warmer weather favored blowing and a bet ter movement. and receipts were somewhat better. The pit element inclined to play the short side. St. Louis also sold here early in liberal quantities. May started %dia to hd% lower at 59A@58h but on good outside buying orders there a quick rally to 56ss The West reported good calls for corn from the country, but it is possible that they were for seeding. Later in the day the local hold CTS let go literally of their stun and May lost
 it's hold again selling down to 5s A reac- tion on covering purchases followed again but the close was weak. May % lower at 5S& a5sss. Receipts were 2o7 cars for two days.
 Trade in oats was inclined toward dulness So few people dare to trade in May oats that orders hard to execute. Country offer ings were light and estimates are small though the receipts today were liberal Early the tone was weak with other grain weakness. Fluc- tuations were narrow and May closed easy, is lower at 42S. Receipts were 225 cars.
 Provisions were nervous for time, but eventually lost some of their recent gains on liquidation by longs. The cash situation was strong and the yards reported good hog mar ket Offerings early were liberal but were well taken Some of the smaller packers were inclined to support the market and there was good buying by investors both local and out side.

NO DEVELOPMENTS OF IMPORT

Fear Felt That There Will Be Furry in Rates When Demand Comes for Cash to Carry Over
 Through Holidays.

NEW YORK. March 25.-Today's stock mar ket began to reflect the expectation of the com ing triple holiday from Thursday until the in the trading always prcmlts some closing out of accounts. There is the additional in centive that the narrow resources of the money market may lead to a furry in rates when the demand develops for loans to carry over from Thursday until Monday. There were no immediate developments of importance in today's money market, but a number Of important requirements are to be me. for the ,n nrS, or the month and the sesnnns or @ ne known to be considerable, owing to the projects Of syndicates. that the available credits of the banks within the legal require ments of the 2S per cent. cash reserves would be more than wiped out in meeting them. An extensive shifting of loans obviously will be necessary to meet the situation. Bankers press confidence that the steadiness of the money market will not be disturbed. but know from costly experience that this does not necessarily mean that their call loan &C., commodations will be undistub bed at pinch. There a revival of apprehension this morning of labor troubles in the anthracite region which seems to be justified in view of the contingent order of the convention before adjourning for a strike unless certain demands are complied with. Reassurances on the part of those connected with the coal interests that no strike was anticipated were not wholly effective and there was some active liauida- tion especially in the Readings The issuance of injunctions against Western ra lroads for bidding rebates and rate cutting was not ex- pected but the reported determination of the Interstate Commission to hold a further and stringent inquiry into tho rate question was a surprise and had a chilling influence. Prep arations for further suits in State courts against the Northern Securities Company was to be reckoned with. The testimony of the points in the great contest for control of Northwestern railroads. which is being taken in legal contest. is read with great attention in Wall Street and not with altogether reas surfing effects on sentiment.

 NEW ORLEANS. March 25.-As a result of the ready recuperative power displayed by American markets yesterday. Liverpool was expected to do better this morning and disap- pointment was expressed at the fact that de- liveries only recovered fractional sixty fourth, while spots were quoted unchanged with sales of 7.000 bales. Initial transactions here were effected at lower prices and att tempts at improvement was subsequently ob- served in which good support rendered by those entertaining unshakable faith in the situation. but the liberal daily estimates of receipts, combined with the absence of req sonable demand for spots and threatened strike in mills at Lowell, Mass, occasfoned quantity of offerings for both accounts and values receded under this pressure. Closing quotations are 7dl0 points lower than yester- day. Some cables today referred to indica- tions of improvement in trade on the conti- nent but even if such is the case. it is evil dent that a policy of delay will be pursued by prospective buyers long the movement continues on its present liberal scale and points to the veriflcation of larger views of the crop, an attitude that is entirely natural. Un der the circumstances, 1t devolves on receipts to drop perpendicularly in order to vindicate the numerous claims of exhausted stocks and stimulate confidence in the situation.

Prices Advice to Those Who Have
 Cotton.

NEW YORK, March 25-cspecial) l)-The prices of contracts for the future delivery of cotton in New York continue to decline under the influence of bearish manipulation and the enforced liquidation of weakly -margined spec ulators Their value has. however. no refer ence to that of spot cotton, and it is my opinion that those who the article in the South will consult their own best interests by refusing to accept current prices.
 The foreign demand is shown by the facts that while receipts today at the ports are only l2, 900 bales exports 22 900 bales and with this rapid depletion of the remnant of cotton remaining in America there can be no before the end of the season.

ACTIVE COVERING SOON AFTER
 THE OPENING.
Liverpool Cables Disappointing, But Port Receipts Were Light. Prices Of 3 to 13 Points
 at the Close.

NEW YORK March 25.-The cotton market opened easy with prices 3m5 points lower and then stiffened up sharply on active covering and some new buying, based on the idea that a reduction from the late break was in order The Liver pool cables were disappointing. but port receipts were light and export ciearances were very heavy It was figured out that weak long interests had been pretty thoroughly shaken out and that the short side had been greatly augmented On the call May rose to 8. 5o the figure being IM3 points lower than last night on final bids. It was not long, h-w- ever. before the buyers found genere us supp irt- ing orders totally lacking, while 1t was seen that conservative traders were selling for further sharp break under stop order selling A quick turn to get on the right side Of the market resulted in a rapid decline throughout the list led by May and July. Large interior town receipts and full estimates for tomor- rows New Orleans and Houston receipts great ly disturbed tired holders and gave fresh en- couragement to the downward rush of prices. Eaily in the afternoon the market gave some indication of stiffening up, but on the last hour became very weak again under small stampede of worn-out longs to lquidate This break carried May off to 646 and July to 8. 52. In the last five minutes profit taking rallied prices trfe. but the close was bare ly steady, net 3a l3 points lower. The March option was relatively steady all day on de mand from exporters.

 There never has been time when the Democratic party of New York was thor oughly united, as 1t will be this fall. that the party did not elect Its State ticket. It has been demonstrated time and time again that New York is a Democratic State and it has only been when the Dem ocratic strength was frittered away through quarrels and bickerings and in- difference of party leaders that the Re publicans have carried the State.
