 NEW YORK, March a. Most of the proceedings in the Thaw murder case were in the nature of explanations by counsel on the question of personal privileges raised by District Attorney Jerome's conditional threat of calling the counsel of record for the defense. Mir. Hartridge. to account for unpro- fessional conduct should it appear that he had knowledge of his clients al- legged mental incompetency. Speaking to this point, Mir. Jerome made what sounded very much like an apology. referring to the tension under which he had been working and denying any intent to charge Mir. Hartridge with unprofessional conduct. He based his implied threat, he explained. on what might have but had not developed.

Chicago. Dec. s.-Favorable weather for harvesting in Argentina, and liberal re- ceipts in this country caused weakness today in the local wheat market, the May delivery closing at a net loss of 1@1 hc. Corn was down & @ Ac. Oats were hc low CT. Provisions were 1oG 200 lower.
 The wheat market weak for the greater part of the day. Prices rallied somewhat after the publication of the gov ernment report which estimated the newly seeded area of winter wheat to be 1 9 per cent less than that of last year. The market, however, soon yielded to selling by pit traders and commission houses. and closed weak at the low point of the day. A private dispatch from Argentina claim ing that the weather there was favorable for harvesting was the principal depressing factor Liberal receipts in the Northwest, especially at Winnipeg. a poor demand from exporters: lower prices for cash wheat. and a decline in corn, were additional bear ish factors.
 May opened M@A@%c lower at $1.o1% to $1.O1h, sold at 1.O1" and declined to $1. 00Ss, where it closed,
 Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 301. 800 bushels. The amount on pass age including the 4S,000 bushels and the vis- ible supply decreased 5000 bushels. Primary receipts were 1.297,000 bushels. against 1,203 900 bushels on the same day last year. Minneapolis. Duluth and chica- go reported receipts of $40 cars against 790 last week and S65 cars one year ago.
 The corn market was weak because of a decline of from one to four cents iu the price of cash corn. which was caused by liberal receipts. Arrivals tomorrow are estimated at 553 cars The market closed weak and near the low point.
 May opened shade higher to < @ x c lower at 55A to 55%c, sold off to 54#c, and closed at 55c. Local receipts were 400 cars with twelve of contract grade.
 Covering by shorts gave the oats market a steady opening but 1t soon weakened along with wheat and corn. decline of one cent in the price of cash grain was a depressing factor. May opened Ac higher at 53&c, sold off to 52Ac and closed at 53c. Local receipts were IA cars.
 Provisions were weak because of unusu- ally heavy receipts of live hogs arrivals today being estimated at 60.000 head. At the close May pork was off 20c at $12.70 Lard was down 1Oc at $7.65. Ribs were down 10c at $6. 80.
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow are Wheat 35 cars, corn 553 cars; oats PIT cars; hogs 27.OO0 head.

 New Orleans. Dec. s.-All interest is cen tered in the United States governments at 1 o'clock. New Orleans time. The last of many preliminary estimates in ad- vance Of same was issued today, 90 mem bers of the New York Cotton Exchange hav- ing averaged probable size of the crop at 11,645,000.
 about 10,0oo.000 bales the highest about 13.O00, 900, the general average being about 11.500,0 It is evident that the trade be- lives in yield of upwards of 100000 otherwise operators would have taken to- days bulletin on quantity of cotton ginned to December 1st more seriously. If today s census report, which showed only S,33S, 900 ginned to December 1st. vs. 1O,O2s.0oo last year, and S,690,000 year before last when the actual yield was about 11.000.000. rep resentss the true condition by representing every bale that was ginned to December 1st it would be the most bullish document of it's kind that has ever emanated from Washington. for if there was as much cot. ton remaining to be ginned the balance of this season as was ginned the balance of last season, 3,4S3, 1000, and they are few, if any who believe such is the case. the com mrecial crop could only be II, S21, 900, and If there is not more to gin than was ginned after this date in the season before last, and the amount turned out during the last period less by 162,000 than in 1905, the crop could not be more than 10994, 900. as only 2,653,O00 were ginned after December 1st, two years ago. The percentage of crop glnneu to DecemDer lSt ldSL year Wds IT.. per cent. and this basis the indicated yield would be 1O.SOO.OO0. To the same date In 1905. S2.s per cent. of the crop had been ginned and on this presumption the indicated yield this season would be 10,07O.O
 If the amount ginned that is the per centage uD to December 1st was the aver age of the past two years, or say, 80 per cent, indications would be that the seasons harvest would only be 10,422.000 bales. While if the percentage ginned to the 1st instant. was less than the past two years, or say only 75 per cent of the crop, the final yield would only figure 1l,117,00
 Another feature of significance regard ing the probable size of the crop is that like in all small crop years the weight of bales this season is very light. to December 1st, according to MT. Hester, 65, vs. 523. 73 last year. Because of the govern ment being usually much too low in its crop estimates 1t is probable that the market will experience a temporary decline if the bureau should place the crop at 11,500,o00 or more, but an advancing market Is prob able in event of the estimate being 11,250,- 900 less.
 Yours very truly.

 The most interesting item in yesterdays cotton market was the issuance by the Cen sus Bureau at o'clock of report of the amount of cotton which has been ginned up to December ist of this year. The re- port shows that S,33S,000 bales have been ginned as compared with 10.027,S6s bales up to the same date in 1906 and S,6S9,663 bales up to the same date in 1905.
 It will be seen from the above figures that the amount of cotton ginned up to De- eember 1st of this year is S51.000 bales less than the amount ginned up to the same date in 1905, when the total cotton crop at the end of the cotton year was 1l,345,9SS bales.
 The figures issued by the census bureau yesterday, judging by the above comparisons would naturally be interpreted as bullish but in spite of this the cotton market went down slightly, the market quotations. how ever, not being changed. The market fin ally closed with a decline of six points under Saturdays close.
 Local business was. owing to the very bad weather of Sunday and yesterday. all most at a standstill. The market Is quot ed nominally unchanged.
