seemed to have a strengthening effect, and to neutralize the influence of the war news. The London market reflected some doubt in it's operations, pending the action of the Bank of England tomorrow on it's official discount rate. The tone of the money market here was easy, both for call and time loans. but sterling ex- change strengthened and the discount on New York exchange at Chicago widened. The bouyant rise in Reading late in the day was interrupted by some renewed pressure against Union Pacific, and the closing was consequently slightly ire gular.

Loyeman 0 co.,s Market Letter.

By H. & B.. Beer.
 The market, to say the least, has ruled remarkably steady in face of one of the largest movements to market on record for this time of year. receipts at all ports since last Friday figuring 12l,S9i bales, against 36993 bales for corresponding time last year, indicating a weeks in- sight of about 230,000 minimum compared with 114.000 one year ago. The steadness of values is attributed to less favorable weather in the southwest for farm work. rains of general character being report ed from points west of the Mississippi river, especially from Texas. where plant ing operations are said to be much be- hind last spring. A development of im- portance, however. made its appearance in the way of unofficial dispatches pre- dieting the fall of Mulden within forty eight hours, as 1t is said that the Japa- nese have the Russians in full retreat.

Chicago, March S.-In whirl of ex- citement today wheat for July delivery broke 31sc from the highest point of the day. Other options shared in the weakness.

New York, March S.-There was more activity in the market this morning and higher prices. May sold at 53 and July at 7.50, the highest figures on thls reac- ton.
 On February B May sold at 7.52 and 7.53 at the opening. and has not been back to T53 until today.
 In the meantime it has sold at 7.1s. This does not indicate very ich weakness. Prices were depressed by large receipts, and now in the face of large receipts the market has recovered
 There is some new factor needed to de- press prices. We have recovered over a cent in the face of all the big crop con- victions
 This shows that it will take something new to put the market down. The move ment is certainly bis enough to satisfy bears, and yet prices advanced. Now it seems to us that the new f. :tor of i'm portance Is going to be the planting of the next crop. and any one familiar with the south knows that the acreage will be reduced and the use of fertilizers cur tailed

Foster & Co.'s Market Letter.

NCotton-Nothing doing in Liverpool It opened about the same as 1t closed and remained dull In New York it advanced a few points the first hour, after which it was quiet but firm.
 Stocks look toppy and feverish. We do not look for much reaction, but they ought to be bought on all dips.
 The large holders are not ready to let the market down very much. Sugar broke sharply the first hour but soon rallied.
 Grains were very weak, especially May wheat It broke badly right after the opening and then rallied.

sma!len e co.,s Market Letter.

The report that Russell Sage was seri- ously i'll, which was current in the street this morning, Is denied at his office, where his clerks say they have no word, and if he were i'll they would certainly have been apprised of 1t. This rumor caused some uneasiness at the start of the stock trading, but on it's denial prices gradually rallied and in most cases showed slight advance over last nights close. Sugar was the weakest feature of the day, selling off from l64A to 144R during the first hour. T. c. l. was very quiet There Is exceedingly little of T. c. I. stock available for borrowing purposes and the same may be said of other stocks which were to have been affected by the merger. It is intimated that while New York Central may be quiet for while the deal with Union Pacific and Chicago and Northwestern will be brought about in April and financed by several of the most powerful banking houses in the city and abroad. It is also expected as a result that New York Cen tral will go to 175. There has been some new move made in Norfolk and Western and indications are for higher prices and much more activity in this stock. An in- crease in the dividend is expected
