Professor Hans Molisch, of Prague, has reported to the Vienna Academy of Sciences the discovery of lamp lighted by means os bacteria, which he claims will give a powerful light and be free from danger. thus being valuable for work in mines and powder magazines. The lamp consists Of a glass jar in which a lining of saltpeter and gelatin, inoculated with bacteria, is placed. Two days after inocuIation the jar becomes illuminated with a wonderful bIuish- green light, caused by the innumerable bacteria which have developed in the time. The light will burn brilliantly for from two to three weeks, afterward di- minishing in brightness. It renders faces recognizable at a distance of two yards, and large type is easily legfble by 1t. Professor Molfsch asserts that the lamp yields a cold light, which is entirely safe.

Sir John Harrington, who has been made minister plenipotentfary from King Edwards court to that of MeneIik of Abyssinia, was appointed British agent in Abyssinia in 1898. He has done many things to establish cordial rela- tions between the two countries. One of Sir Johns great achievements was to persuade her late majesty to speak into a phonograph message to Menelik and his empress. It was the only time she ever consented to such an experiment, and it was done then on the express un- derstanding that when the message had once been spoken the record should be destroyed. Menelik was so excited when

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, March 7.-Extreme bearishness pervaded the wheat pit today and the market experienced sharp decline, May closing 1-SQ1 1-4c lower. May corn was of 1-4c, and oats were down 1-4G3-S. Pro visions closed about steady, the May pro- ducts being from 1-2c lower to 1-2c higher.
 Scattered selling by tired holders on market that lacked any signs of support was the cause of a severe setback in the price of wheat and the market ruled de- cidedly weak the entire session With the exception of a temporary firmness at the start, due to firm cables and the strength In corn. May opened unchanged to 1-Sc higher at 76 to 1-S but the firmness was only momentary and influenced by the mild weather throughout the whole win ter wheat belt with no signs of much coulder weather in sight and with pros poets of bearish statistics Monday, the selling became quite general and prices declined rapidly with now and then short halt due to covering by shorts; Weakness in outside markets also aided In the decline. The bottom was reached Rt "A 5-S and the close was at "A S-4 at 7-S, a net loss of 1-SQ1 1-4c. Clcarances of wheat and flour were equal to 2lS,OoO bushels. Primary receipts, 4l360O bushels against 4377O0 year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 2S2 cars, which with local receipts of 3l, one con tract, made total receipts for the three points SIS cars, against Sl4 last week ana
 
 bullish sentiment in the corn pit the market was a little easier, influenced by the break in wheat. The opening was strong on higher cables and on the unta- vorable weather but when wheat started on It's downward course the selling In corn becme quite pronounced and the market was unable to resist the straln and prices eased off but steadled at a little under yesterdays final figures. the close being easy with May 1-4c lower at 47 Is after selling between 47 and 4I 7-Sc. Local receipts, PTS ears, contract.
 Oats were active and firm early in the session. but weakened in sympathy with other grains and closed easier. with May I-4a3-Sc lower at 34 5-Sc after ranging between 34 1-2 and 5 1-Sc
 Commission houses were good sellers and some of the leading shorts bought. Local receipts, 2S7 cars.
 There was a good trade in provisions and the undertone was firm, opening prices being strong on smaller receipts ot hogs and an advance of from Dc to 10c at the yards. Later there was some realiZ- ing in a general way in sympathy with the easier tone in grain and prices de clined somewhat but the close was steady.
 May pork closed 1-2c lower at 1S.3A: May lard was 1-2c higher at 1915, and ribs off 1-2c at 9.92 12,

 New York, March 7.-The market has now had a break of 60 points If there Is any good in the staple at all it's about time to cover in the short August and to take another look at things. With the entire trade demoralized and no one knowing just what nay happen it's a dangerous market to trade in. For the small trader. 1t is as dangerous to buy as to sell. Perhaps more dangerous to buy. But from our standpoint We would rather take in the short cotton and wait for rally after this break. This m St not be forgotten. The New England crowd are long a big line of May cotton and this cotton is not coming on the market to any extent. 1t may be argued so much the worse for holders when they try to sell. We don't know anything about this. The simple fact of the case is they are not selling to any extent, If they can head the cotton in tact and put up the money necessary to carry the cotton why the short interest may have a merry time before them before this thing is over We desire to be conservative on the out look and we are not friendly to cotton at 91-2 or 10 cents a pound in the spring of the year. But 1t must be realized by all hands that the spring is late, that New York has little cotton. that there is grow ing up a good sized short Interest and that the holders ot May have q line of cotton that means one of two things. Either we have crash or We have an advance towards 10 cents. For this reason we would rather cover short cotton and wait for a good rally in the market before selling August again.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
SHORTS SEEK COVER AFTER THE
 CALL.
Became Apparent, However, that the Orders from the South Were Go-
 ing to the Selling Side.
 The Close Was Dull.

New York, March 7.-The cotton mar ket opened steady, with prices 5 points lower to points higher. Following the hrst call the bull pool bid quite freely, causing the room shorts to cover unti IL became apparent that Southern orders were going to the selling side of the ac- count with large Philadelphia spot house also in evidence as seller. There was but little bear. pressure from Wal Street: A feature of the early trading was the sale of a large block of May by German house. Trading in general was only moderately active. with the weather sun bad in the South, which led to eau tion in making ventures on the short side Of the account as a late start for the crop was suggested. On the other hand receipts were heavier than expected, with Houston showing up particularly full. Cables were a trife better than expected, but houses with European connections appeared to be selling in a moderate way with private cables indicating dissattsfac- ton with the trade conditions abroad.
 Cotton futures closed very steady with prices net points lower to points high CT. The spot market closed dull with prices points lower on the basis of 995 for middlings uplands and 1920 for mid dlings gulf.

 New Orleans March 7.-Liverpool ad- vices were better than looked for, conse- quently our market opened to 3 higher, but subsequently, declined Il to 13 from the top on ndar months. and to on the late, owing to the prospect of favorable weather throughout the interior The lack of demand and easiness of spots also assisted materially in forcing prices low er Later in the session shorts covering and the light New Orleans estimate caus- ed an improvement of to s from the bottom on old crop positions, and to on the new, making the net loss 2 to points on the day. The visible supply of American during the week decreased 95 GOO against decrease of 116,000 last year, or a relative increase of 2l,O00 over last year. The total visible supply of Ameri- can is :. 76S GOO against 3,275,0O0 last year and 3,057oo0 year before last The spin ners' takings of American cotton during the week were 2S5 GOO against 2S5 GOO last year. and the takings to date are 497000 over last year. The spnners of the world now hold in stock in the invisible supply 2,ll1.OOO of American' against 1,69l 900 last year. an excess of 426, GOO over last year. The visible supply of American shows a deficiency of 507.0o0 as compared to last year, but as the spinners hold in the in- visible supply a stock of 426,0OO over last year, it will be seen that they are car rying the cotton in the invisible supply instead of merchants in the visible There fore the SO-Called strong statistical posi- tion ia only on the surface and confirms the fact that spinners are better supplied with the raw article now than they have been for years. Such being the case they are in position to withdraw from the market and fall back on their reserve supply. From present indications it looks as if they will refuse to follow any ad- vance and may probably pursue a hand to-mouth policy from now out. The re- cent unfavorable weather is expected to occasion a lighter movement this week than last year. The fear of manipulation exists in all markets. yet supply and de- mand will eventually regulate values.

New York Bank Statement.

New York March 1.-The FinancIer says: The decrease of $5,2S4 925 reserve reported in the bank statement for tho week just clos'l brings the excess sur plus down to $6if97j. by far the smallest record at this season for many years and the lowest actual figure with two exccp- tions, noted within twelve months. The hanks lost in cash $l0 eco or almost twice the sum indicated by the knowu movements for the week. As the previou statement. however. failed to show tn. total loss in cash 1t is quite likely that the current exhibit reflects a helated av- craze. The decrease of $l05G3 GOO in loaIi. reveals the liquidation which is bciug forced by banks in order to maintain their position as respects res"rv6 and th" heavy contraction of $l95Gf.7UD in deposits thus accounted for in the changes just noted.
 The feature of the statcrlcnt is of course the loss in cash The greater part of the shrinkage is traCeablc to opera tiOns with the sub-treasury which gained heavily on bank operations last week customs payments and Internal revenue collections having been large.

 New York March I.-The course of the bull syndicate is difficult to understand and 1t can hardly be stated with actual positiveness whether Sully is making money or losing at the present time One thing Is certain. however, and that is that the bear element has mada it's pres ence felt to q painful degree during the past few days. The taste of success has merely sharponed the appetite for greater things. and 1t Is believed in some circles that the shorts and bears will not stop until they have completely eliminated the so-callcd bull syndicate, How long time will elapse before the bears accomplish their purpose remains to he secn but provided the bulls can get money for mar ginal purposes they will put up game fight and the chances are that there will be continued activity and feverishness for an indefinite period to come.

Savannah, Ga, March 7.-(Special.) J. Throughout the week the naval stores market has continued firm on the strength imparted to it by the scaricty of sup plies and the uniform good demand from all sources. Seldom before have condi tions at this season been as they are now, with the indications almost unmls- takable that the new season will open with prices well around their present level which is the season for the usual yearly boom. The new season will very probably fall heir to boom prices because there is every reason for believing that the demand will continue good with sup plies for the new seasons business eX- tremely short.
 The receipts of turpentine up to the present have been 2S9, 743, against 309,9S5 last year. and the exports 292, ,529. against 304 510 last year. The receipts of rosin to date have been 9tS, ,301, against 1,O37,4l9 and the exports 127,4l9, against 174l32 last year.
