Caldwell & Wards Stock Letter.

By Miller & Go.
 New York, March 26.-Todays stock market was extremely dull and without important feature. Speculation was de- pressed by the uncertainty generally felt ss to the outcome of discussion between the various interests concerned by dis solution of the Northern Securities merg2 CT. There was also some apprehension that unfortunate complications might grow out of the Sully cotton failure. The official attitude, however, of the parties to the northwestern railroad negotiations served to prevent any extensive selling and for large part of the session prices ruled fairly firm. In the last hour the market turned downward and the early improvement in prices was lost The market closed dull and feeble,

By Bartlett, Frazier & Darlington.
 Chicago, March 26.-Wheat-The wheat market was nervous and trade of pro- fessional character. The developments in the cash situation were all bullish. Late in the day a vague rumor was sent out of impending Balken troubles. Liver pool closed practically unchanged.
 Corn-The corn pit was within the con- trol of Armour & Co Our adyices regard Ing the poor condition and quality of crib and seed corn are vague. The cash market ruled steady Liverpool was un- changed.
 Oats were a very dull market and fiuc- tuations were unimportant. There are no new features in the situation.
 Provlsions-The provision list was firm but dull. with but small pit attendance. The hog situation is strong. Receipts to- day were 5000 and prices were strong at from cents to 10 cents higher Armour was good buyer of May ribs. Estima- ted receipts for Monday are 5000 and for next week, 150000.

SAVED FROM SINKING SHIP,
Crew of French Vessel Is Rescued
When Hope Had Almost
Been Given Up.

Philadelphia, April 26.-Capt. Car
row and the crew of q men of the
French barkentine Union were brought
to this port Monday on the steamship
Haverford from Liverpool for Phila-
delphia. Capt. Carrow had almost
abandoned hope of being rescued
when the Haverford was sighted. The
Union sailed from Fecamp on fish
ing trip early in April. On April 8,
the vessel sprung leak and became
water-logged. Then began the battle
for life by the crew: Night and day
the men worked at the pumps and hal
about given up hope of being rescued
when on April 10 a tramp steamship
hove in sight. The captain says tina:
the tramp steamer refused to answer
their signals of distress, but that a
few hours later the Haverford was
sighted. Capt. Ehoff drew close to the
Union and took off the crew. Before
leaving the vessel Capt. Carrow set 1t
on fire. The Barkentinc was aban-
doned in latitude 44.30 north and
longitude 4O.33 west. French Consul
Pessoli will take charge of the rescued
men.
