 Oats for the May delivery were strong but other months were inclined to be weak The firmness of the May option was caused by the buying of leading bull which led to considerable covering by shorts. Excellent weather for farm work was responsible for the easier tone of the more distant futures.

NAVAL STOKES WEEKLY REVIEW.
 Savannah. March -(Special)-Wtth season of 1sO6-O7. spirits of turpentine af- ter making a brilliant dash toward the top, which placed values at 74%c per gallon, weakened and at the final cali yesterday
 That there is nothing very remarkable in the present state of the article however, is shown by the quotations of former years. In the first part of the present month. a general advance is always recorded. The crop supply then is rapidly diminishing: the receipts are of course smaller and with q generally better and stronger statistical position, the upward march is quite natural Toward the last. however, when the talk nf new crop naval stores is becoming strong. the trade as rule likes to stand from under and the natural result is that the market eases off considerably from tho
 It is so this year. The market moved gradually up to 74%c at which last sales were effected some days ago. and since then weakness pervading the market Last year tn article the same days was selling at 6sc and this in itself should show what might be expected before April is ushered
 As has been mentioned from time to time the cut for the season just ending was much smallAr and aside from this fact much valuable pine timber lands which were being worked for naval stores was destroyed by
 Savannah's total receipts have. of course, proved much smaller than in preceding years, but the total at other ports as well was much shorter. and when the fact is considered that the naval stores belt k yearly moving farther and farther away 1t Is rather remarkable that the receipts here should have held up so well.
 Turpentine opened last Wednesday firm at 7l&c and while nothing doing was quoted yesterday no sales had been effect ed al a lower value. It is but candid tn say. however that much lower prices were expected.
 The receipts yesterday were: 1TS casks week 1.062 casks; month 2,OO0 casks; season 19S, S67 casks.
 The exports: Tuesday PAS casks; week 12sS casks; month 4.251 casks; season ls9, 473 casks, Stock 6.ose. Sales total 222 ForeiEn 100 casks

H. & B. BEERS COTTON LETTER.

 founr~.axen

By Private Wire to c. c. Abererombis &
 O., s2 Commerce st.
 New Orleans. March 27.-The advent of the Easter holidays is being reflected In duilness born of stagnation, Liverpool re- maining practically undisturbed when some looked for there. and while spots were ad- vanced four points, sales were only 5000 bales. There were no new developments in partly cloudy to fair Tn all sections of the belt, the predicted rains failing to mate
 The movement at the ports continued comparatively free, arrivals at all ports since last Friday footing up 103,0oo vs. 7s.ooo for the same. period last year. and ket was steadier and somewhat higher as a result of the more favorable outlook in London, bullion withdrawals fronls the Bank of England for the week amounting to on- ly 10000 pounds for shipment to Singapore. whereas deposits to the amount of 7t,000 pounds were made; virtually assuring no rate tomorrow, which at the moment Is rul- ing at five per cent.
 The easinsss of English cotton cables. however. influenced values fn America to a lower level. but trading during the ses- sion was limited to covering accounts in ad- vance of the holidays. The posting of semi for the half week at the thirteen towns. figuring less bearish than heretofore, a. before last. and shipments were relatively heavier than they have been in the past 54.000 vs. 44.0o0 year ago, and 6S,000 in 1905. stocks thereby, having lost 12.000 loss of i2.oo0 bales year ago, and no loss for year before last. It Is probable that this weeks insight. which, along with variations in the worlds visible supply. for the week, will not be published until next Monday morning. will probably be about 200.0 vs. 155.O0 last year and 241, 900 in 1905. Therefore it may be said with some degree of certainty that the expected fall ing off in arrivals when compared with re- ceipts after this date in 1905, has at last made it's appearances, the deficit in the movement for the week compared with two years ago, promising to be about 4o,o0 bales.
 However. its influence will probably be enumerated by a falling off in mill talk inRs during the balance of the year when compared with last year and year before last and 1t is for this reason that a see- saw market would probably be expected during the balance of the season were jt not for the uncertainties attending the preparations and growth of the new crop. The only complaint in connection with the latter Is the want of rain to improve the prospects of a crop that promises to be the earliest record.

IRON PRODUCTS.

Situation Unchanged by Wall Street
 New York, March 27.-rhe Iron Age to- morrow will say:'
 and finished iron products is concerned, the situation is practically unaffected by the recent events in Wal stre@ ana sne numsr- Sa.inr ous announcements Of proposed cessatlon of railroad work. It is idle to deny how ever that unless there is resusnptson of that work during the next few months, con- sumption of iron and steel must be affect ed, and values must be influenced. It has already had the effect of making buy CTS of crude iron and steel cautious as to eommitments for the last of the year
 Relatively speaking. when comparing it with the tonnage booked the quantities of material for which delays in deliveries have tity of orders cancelled is extremely small.
 It will take months to judge whether the now working will be affected cnly to the point of causing us to return to normal con ditions In the meantime the all absorb and nearly everything seem to conspire to thwart efforts in that direction
 On the whole buying of pig iron has been Tatssr fnt nanry anG for foundry % rSn was Sgithdrawin. The MiddSesborough market has declined to bs shiliings. pence.
 for shipment from Shanghai of a lot of 5000 tons of basic pig iron made in China.
 Quite large tonnage of structural mate in hand aggregating over I5,000 tons of which about 5000 tons has already been contracted for There is good work com ing up too from nearly every important Pacific coast city and Chicago is expected to call for some important quantities soon. In the South 900 tons for a coaling station al SaweIls Point, Va. is the largest tndl- vidual contract placed.
 Tn the tube. sheet and bar trades. the volume of business is beyond precedent and the wire trade is heavy. Chicago opens bids next week for 12,000 tons of cast iron water pipe. Detroit has just placed ak thousand tons and minor quantiities have been sold at Ohio points.
