New York, March 19.-Our market
opened with sales of May at 9.7S@9.79c,
and after selling at $3.50, ruled at
9.S6c, at l p. m. The strength to-day
has been caused by buying for foreign
account on the arbitrage account based
on the light movement. and the rela-
tive low basis upon which this mar
ket has been selling on a scale up
wards, coming apparently from the
bulls. This supply was not apparent
ly sufficient to prdvide for the foreign
demand. outside speculation has been
slow, but the continued rainy wealth
er is expected to bring about a lighter
movement than the earlier estimates.
The temper has been relatively the
strongest of the past fortnight, and a
higher market is expected abroad to-
morrow as a result of the strong sta
tistical showing. The market closed
firm with Liverpool buying to the close.

the advance. There was, however, con-
slderaoly more nervousness among
room shorts, who We're apparently un-
settled in their convictions as to the
PROBABLE course of values by the de-
cloed decrease in the movement as in
dlcated by port receipts for the day,
amounting to 1924 bales, against H.

receipts at leading points however,
were considered full, but sentiment ac-
corded more weight to the unfavorable
weather outlook, the firmness at Liv-

a point, was to points higher at the
close, and to the continued volume of
exports, which to-day were about three

hbited considerable strength in the
early dealings on buying that was at
tTibuted to the Western contingent.
There was also good buying of Atchi-
son during the early session. With the
exception of St Paul and Union Pa
cific, which reflected pressure, the in
ternational stocks opened generally
above the late London quotations.
Higher prices were reflected in Sugar.
Tennessee Coal corn products and
Rock Island but attempts to advance
Amalgamated Copper met with little
success. On the whole, much better
feeling was shown in speculative cir
cles, due to the Importance in the finan-
cial situation. The undertone of the
market was fairly firm, though trading
was in moderate volume. No material
change was shown in the early after
noon conditions although the market
was lower in spots as a result of profit
taking. The strength of Missouri Pa
cific seemed to come from buying by
Gould brokers.
The rise in Pacific Mail appeared to
be based on the belief that that prop
erty must benefit by the activity in
Southern Pacific. There was a slight
ly wider distribution of business in
the late session and the Westerners
speculative favorites. Throughout the
day interest continued to center in
Southern Pacific which was traded in
to the extent of over IS, 900 shares, clos
ing at almost the lowest price of the
day, with net loss of "a points. Union

city is considered complete without q
trip to the great abattoirs and cattle

was invited to inspect the stock yards.
He received every possible attention,
and was much interested in the mag

processes for disposing of the thou
sands of cattle and hogs slaughtered
there every day. just before he left
he turned to the intelligent young
