STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March 23.-A number of
causes contributed to the general
weakness and dizziness shown By the
stock market to-day. Chief among
these was the belief that banking in
terests regard with disfavor any move
In the direction Of higher prices. This
attitude appears 10 be based on the
belief that monetary conditions as a
whole are not such as % warrant even
a moderate extension 81 speculative
commitments.
L0ndOn's prices also were lower, the
aii-srOund weakness IN the market be-
ing led by cOnsOis, which touched the
lowest point 10 thirty days. However,

The Morning News Office.
Monday, March 23
The market developments to-day fail
ed to bring about any cratic price
movements, and while the closings
showed little change from previous
levels the tendency was distinctly
downward. Cotton declined under the
pressure of liquidation, while stocks
at New York also closed heavy on the
belief that money was to be dearer.
The influence of the big markets
made little change in the minor field
There was a fairly good local demand
for spot cotton, for which it was re-
ported full quotations were bid and
paid. The country offered in moderate
freedom, though on the whole indiffer-
emily and at prices exporters could not
in all cases meet.
The naval stores markets closed firm,
with the only change a decline in pale
rosins. For some time turpentine has
been pegged at it's present price, with
no apparent prospect even now of any
change in the price. AS long as the
receipts are as light comparatively as
they are now the trade do not look
for any decline, and that is the way
the market is expected to move when
there is a change. With the way the
receipts for the new season are start
ing off, 1t may he a question with those
interested in the large sales made
basis Savannah quotations whether
this market is to recede very material
ly after all. A diversion on a part of
the receipts that formerly came here
TO other ports is admitted for the COM
3ng season, and the question now is
whether this diversion will impart
Strength to the local market and posi-
Oily result in keeping prices at a high
Ter level than they would be were the
receipts to keep full pace with the
volume of previous seasons. What
khe result will be remains to be seen.
Ut is admitted that the amount of
naval stores to be thrown upon the
open market here will affect the basis
&prices according to the volume.
With the new crop now beginning to
#fnove the trade are Watching closely
the comparative daily receipts. The
receipts of spirits to-day were Ga bar
rels against 206 last year. Tomorrow.
receipts of spirits will have to com
&pare with 516 barrels same day last
year, and by the end of this week
asst year the daily volume was around
500 barrels. Whether the shortage
neans backward movement, diver
sion or small crop remains to be seen.
$The receipts of spirits here to date
khave been 291, S59, against S1S,O51 to
the same time last year. though this
#1iscrepency is attributed to the smaller
xcrop during the season now drawing
TO a close.

considerable transa ctions have been
made during the past two days, though
they do not all appear in the sales re-
port as some was cotton held by ex-
porters which had previously appeared

was fairly good with the offerings
limited. In the f. o. b. market the de-
mand was satisfactory, but with the

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, March 23.-The cotton
market opened easy, with prices l to
6 points lower under rather larger in
dications for the days port and in
terror receipts than expected and dis
appointing cables. These were due to
come l to points lower to be in keep
ing with the New York close of Satur-
day. but at the time for the local open
ing the English market was 21a@4
points lower and the close there was
at net loss of 31a@5 points. The SELL
ing was also encouraged by unSatis-
factory accounts from Fall River and
other New England centers regarding
the labor situation, but after the mar
ket had declined or points further
there was a rally which carried prices
back to a little above the opening.
The upward movement was chiefly due
to covering by room shorts and there
was also some commission house buy
ing probably for the long account,
based on the lighter estimate for to-
morrow's receipts at Houston. When
March had reached 9.91c and May SAC,
however, there was a fresh burst of
liquidation under which prices, led by
March, which was especially weak, un-
der selling by longs who were disposed
to avoid deliveries, declined to IL
points from the best prices of the
morning. On the decline July also
came in for considerable liquida ton,
while May showed relative firmness.
The estimates for to-morrows receipts
at Galveston and New Orleans ex-
ceeded the actual figures of last year
and this added to the weakness. Port
receipts for the day footed up IA, 1894
bales, against 1920 bales last year
Toward the close there was slight
rally under profit taking by shorts who
were influenced by the good showing
of exports which reached $4,000 bales
and the market was finally steady, net
10 points lower. on March and / to 5
lower on the list generally Total
sales futures estimated 10000 bales.

The Quiros is stated to have lately
visited a port on the northeast coast
of Borneo, and to have thence steamed
to Darvel Bay, an important center in
Borneo, $50 miles southwark. There
the seizure is said to have occurred.
The islands, which have been under
British administration for twenty-five
years, were originally infested by pi-
rates, who were driven out by the
Chartered Company of Borneo. The
action Of the Quiros was brought to
the attention of the foreign office,
which then took the matter up. -5.:.
1t is asserted at the foreign Office
that the whole question of the islands
is now under consideration at London
and in Washington and that when
Foreign Secretary Lansdowne returns

Only Drastic Measures Will Preserve
Peace in Balkans.
London, Sept. 12.-From informa-
tion cleaned from various diplomatic
circles in London it is learned that
the powers have come to recognize
the fact that only drastic measures
will maintain peace between Turkey
and Bulgaria. No one participating
in the negotiations now denies that
the two countries are perilously close
to war. 1t is even suggested in re-
sponsible quarter that the Slavs are
working with the Bulgarians to con-
vince the world that humanity de-
mands the Intervention of the powers.
Strong pressure is being exerted on
the British foreign office to cause it
to take more energetic action to put
a stop to the atrocities on the part
of the Turks. But the policy of the
cabinet at any rate up. to now CON
tinues to be confined to preserving
the concert Of Europe. On all sides
it is said that the further efforts Of
every power will be to prevent a gen
eral European conflagration.
