THE TALK OF THE DAY.

An old yew tree stands in the churchyard at
Portugal in Perthshire. which De Cendolle nearly
century ago proved to the satisfaction OF botanists
to be twenty-five centuries DID, and another is still
standing at Hedsor, in Buclas, which is $40 years
old. How De Candolle arrived at an apparently
rect estimate OF the enormous age of these living
trees IS simple thing and the principle is doubt
less well known to-day TO all. The yew, like most
other trees adds one line. about the tenth OF an
inch. to Its circumference each year. But the old
est living thing in tho world to-day. far as
known is a cypress tree In Chapultepec~ Mexico.
that is $3.50 years old

Caldwell 6 Wards Grain Letter.

By Bartlett, Frazier & Darlington
 Chicago, March 7.-Wheat-The- wheat market was irregular early, finishing up weak. Trade was small. Local profess sionals were bearish and pounded the market on every rally. News was bear ish. Liverpool was weak, closing %Qsc lower .on the excellent quality of the Argentine shipments. There was more spreading of old and new July. Snow's review of the winter wheat conditions was not encouraging and indicated the April report will be below normal If not sem sationally low. Estimated cars, 50.
 Corn was firm and displayed marked tendency to do better and possibly was held in check by the weakness of wheat. A lighter movement is promised In the near future. Liverpool was M9%c up. Estimated tomorrow, 275.
 Oats-The weakness in wheat had no influence over oats and that market ruled strong from the start. The May was in excellent demand. One commits sion house alone Is estimated to have bought two million bushels. Indications are for a smaller movement in the near future. Estimated receipts tomorrow, 300 cars.

LOCAL MARKETS.

E Cotton continues to go up and at the close yesterday good middling was quoted at 15Ac The cotton market was quite lively and prices were wild, but there was very little doing in local circles.
 Stocks and bonds were very quiet yes terday. Only two changes In both lists were reported.
 Morris avenue seemed to be doing very fair business, but prices were steady. Bananas are again in evidence and ship ments are coming in regularly Oranges are also fairly plentiful. The stock of fine apples Is still large and the fruit now on sale Is In excellent condition.
 No change in the quotations for eggs was reported. There was nothing doing in poultry and all the game is sold out.
 In staple groceries all lines are quiet and steady Meats and lard are rather active. however, and flour is still selling at top prices.

improvement making the net gain 13 to 19 points on the day. The port receipts for the three days aggregate 14,000 against fl LOO last year. and the five leading in- .terior towns during the same time received s12, GOO against 22,000 last year The semi weekly receipts at the thirteen leading interior towns are estimated to not ex- ceed 22,0O0 against 47,0O0 last year. These figures on their face are extremely bull ish. but as 1t Is known that there Is an ab- solute absence of export demand for spots in the interior, it is claimed by many that the light movement Is caused by this factor. These contentious are borne out by the accumulation of stock in the known interior towns, which have gained 17600 relatively over last year, since No- vember 13, and now exceed last years fig ures by 10000 as their aggregate holdings are 30S. GOO, against 2Ss, 900 last year. The stock at the ports for the same reason is increasing relatively. As an evidence of this last Monday the port stocks were 17400O under174,00 GOO under last year and to- day they are only 72OO0. Spinners refuse to take hold and cables from Spain under yesterdays date say that the cotton man- ufacturing crisis Is becoming more acute A number of factories have been closed throwing 100000 hands out of work Ad- vices from Mexico under the same date SHY lildl u nuHlDtI Ol HllllN 1AitA1 iiffN N'A' nounced their intention of temporarily shutting down, owing to the increased price of cotton The above factors will have effect sooner or later on the general situation, but as our market on July to- day closed 25 points over New York, and only under Liverpool. and as middling on the spot can be bought at l5.Sl, and Mays are commanding premium of 6S points, and Julys III points over, the dan ger of operating in the local market can not be overestimated. It is the, same old story, this market, with the largest stock in America, Is again leading the world, endeavorlng to make Itself a dumping ground. While recognizing the bullish statistical position. we also know the peril of resorting to such tactics as was demon- strated by the recent heavy decline; therefore, we deem 1t advisable to pur- sue a very conservative policy under ex- isting conditions.

cothran 6 Co.'s Stock Letter.

By Ware & Leland.
 New York, March 1.-The stock mar ket today showed the effect of the North ern Securities waiting.
 The decision was expected In the high est quarters, but for some reason 1t did not come. The probability Is that noth- ing will be heard about 1t until the last of the week, when agitation will again be begun, unless the court adjourns, as reported today. There is an impression that there will be recovery of the same kind as last week, but whether or not this play depends upon speculative senti- ment. If the bear contingent Is unable to force any liquidation 1t is highly prob able that a gradual rally like that of last week will take place.
 We would be conservative and buy only on reactions for the present. The mar Ret Is in sound condition and standard rail issues not under a cloud, can fin our opinion, be bought whenever on the down break. Total sales, 2s8,s00

bQ Gilbert & Clay.
 New Orleans, March 7--Liverpool start ed the week in fine shape with a very satisfactory advance in futures and A continuation of the liberal transactions i'm the spot department. Some outside buying was to be observed here during the early hours but with this demand satisfied, no Iurtner incentive was disclosed for any further advance. The market continues to present the same manipulated appear ance and acts as though tired. There are occasional spurts caused by spasmodic buying, after which the market Iapses into comatose condition. Some activity was to be noticed in the spot department, but there seems to be an absence of a substantial trade demand, leaving the im- pression that much of the present spot business has resulted from tempting premiums on contracts, thus merely transferring the burden of the carrying charges to the buyer of contracts. The smallness of the movement however, dis courages any inclination to oppose the market, and most traders are content to watch developments. It was hoped that the large spot sales in Liverpool would reflect a more serious and stable demand on this side, but no special inquiry of this character is noted so far. Spinners on this side refuse to operate and the strength apparently must come from the other side, which will require an adjourn ment of prevailing differences. Receipts attract great attention. and this feature aside from manipulation will be the most potent factor. The new crop options daily gain in activity, and many traders are transferring their operations to the new field. Farm work is making fair progress.
