Caldwell & Wards Grain Letter.

BY Bartlett, Frazier & Darlington.
Chicago, March 17.-There was a general
desire to realize on the part of holders
OF grain and provisions. Wheat lead the
decline or the general rains throughout
the winter wheat belt and the press an
nouncement that the Armour interest in
the market had been evened up. There
are still fair lines Of high priced wheat
in the market, also provisions to be liqui-
dated.
Wheat in the nineties is hard to main
tain without leadership. The cash stu
alton is not yet tight enough to sustain IL,
although supplies may be very short later.
We think wheat would sell under 90
cents barring leadership. The course
grains are too high compared with the
existing cash situation.
Provisions.-Stocks are increasing rapid
1y and there is too much long stuff hang
ing over the market TO warrant buying
on this decline. There is little change in
the cash situation in corn. The better
quality of receiptsS are In fair demand at
a cent advance. while the lower grades
were unchanged. About 1000 bushels of
contract quality was made yesterday.
making a total OF 100000 bushels in two
days. At this rate the stock promises to
be a burden to any party bulling May.
Oats.--Were without feature. The dull
ness prevalent all week continues UNI
broken. The long lines of provisions held
through commission houses were being
liquidated on stop loss orders today. Pack
ers were covering short May lard and re-
selling for July moderately. The liberal
run of hogs and the market at the yards
were against values. Stocks Of all con-
tract produce increased heavily in the
first half of the month. Shipments of
meats and lard were greatly in excess of
last year.

New Orleans, March 17.-Notwithstand-

to 76 from the top. Supporting orders,
however, soon forced an advance of "a to
43 from the bottom, but as soon as this
demand was supplied, a recession of q
to "A was soon established, making the
net loss As to As points on the day.
The amount to be brought into sight for
the week points to 10000 as compared to
$4,000 last year. The stock at the ports

or 5000 more. The stock In presses in
New Orleans Is now 305, 900 against 1875, 900
last year. showing an excess Of 10000.
July in New Orleans closed at 1911, or IL
points over New York and 81 under Liver
pool
Free-on- board cotton on basis middling
is selling at 14%c, which Is 70 points under
July hera.r In ether words, with 900
more stock in presses here than last year,
and being the highest market relatively
in the world, there is no justification for
the premiums existing on deliveries. 1t
Is essential to establish basis so that
spots can be sold and exported to relieve
the pressure, thereby making the sltua-
tion healthy. Until this is effected we are
liable to have wild and erratie markets.
After such a sharp decline a reaction
ought to be in order. yet 1t is questionable
as there seems to be large quantities for
sale on steady periods, both here and In
New York, which makes traders infer
that there is large bear pool formed, or
that the bulls are selling out.

cothran 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

BY C, w. Lee & Co.
New York. March 1.-THE running
back of yesterday was repeated in the
market this morning, only more so. In
stead of a break of 80 points, there was a
break of over 60 points in some options,
and over 20 points in others. There was
support at 1914 cents, but not above 1512
cents on the break. 1t looked as though
the load had become too heavy for the
market, and holders were willing to let
the prices down to accommodate all con-
cerned.
The amount of cotton pointed towards
New York is over 100000 bales, In addition
to the 100000 bales we have here now.
This would make a pretty big stock, and
those interested In the market have evil
IDENTIFY concluded the situation would be
improved by a break.
Liverpool is weak, much weaker than
IL should be on the present position, but
as long as they are so agitated over
there, 1t Is foolish to bother on this
side.
The realization of this brought about
the break today. 1t may be that prices
will be lower before they are much higher
but at 15A cents or 15M cents the situa-
ton has two sides While the market
still calls for caution, there Is not likely
to be a severe break from this point I'M
less something unforeseen happens
The present difference between New
York and Liverpool Is better than for
some time, and in many ways the market
is more encouraging. There is more de-
mand from spinners here and can be
looked for about 15A or IS cents.
