ANOTHER DECLINE
 IN WHEAT MARKET Prices Advance In Early Ses-
 sion, Then Fall Off RECEIPTS MUCH SMALLER cron Declines 1ac In the Late Trading Owing to Liquidation of specula-
 tors-oats and Provisions
 Also Close Weak.
RECEIPTS MUCH SMALLER

Chicago. March 17.-Considerable demor- alization developed in the wheat market late in the session today and prices de- elined more than l cent from the high point of the day owing to the general liquidation. The close was weak. although prices were still a shade to Aa2se above the final quotations of the previous ses- sion. Corn, oats and provisions also closed weak.
 A sharp rebound from the final weak ness of the previous session included wheat prices at the opening today, initial quotations showing gains of 1sc to s40176c. Many of the smaller traders who had sold short yesterday were eager bidders for wheat when trading began and with only moderate offerings the market acquired considerable strength during the first hour.
 The market was bullishly affected by & falling off in receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth. The Liverpool market was also not so weak as had been generally ex- pected, prices being off only 1sd to Sgd Toward the middle of the day several of the leading bulls began to sell freely and this started general selling, which re- suited in a quick decline. May dropped from $1 1894 to $1 .151a, while July sold off from $1.05ls to $1.0Ss4.
 Weakness of coarse grains tended to aggravate the heaviness. The close was
 
 3. .04Ql1 .041h.
 Corn prices declined about 1ac in the final hour of the day, owing to heavy liquidation by out-of-town holders and to considerable selling pressure by local speculators. The close was at almost the lowest point at net declines of B@1c to 1Ac, compared with the previous close The market was bearishly influenced by a continued accumulation of stocks in store here and in the southwest and by reports that corn to be delivered here was being offered in the east by resellers at equal to 21ac below the Chicago price. During the day May ranged between 65s4@657sc and 67ssc and closed at 66c.
 Oats were firm at the start in sympathy with wheat and corn but slumped se- verely about midday on selling by cash interests and longs in general. Many pit traders had bought oats early in the day and these interests also were free sellers in the last half of the session. At the close prices were ssc to Ac lower, com pared with yesterdays final quotations, May being at b4e and July at 4S1sc.
 Provisions were firm at the start, owing to 5Q15c advane in live hogs, but weak ened toward the end of the first hour on general liquidation. Talk of a reduction of sales in leading industries had de- pressing influence. The market closed easy at net losses of 21a@10c, compared with the previous close
 Cashed quotations ranged as follows.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York March (Special.)-The re- action from the decline of the past few days, which seemed likely to occur last evening, happened this morning on the opening, and with a few minor fuetua- tions during the day the market closed quiet and steady. Liverpool arbitrage brokers were the best buyers during the day, while the trade feels that the sit uation will reflect the forthcoming gin ners' report due on Saturday. As the market has advanced on all government reports this season, it may do so on this one notwithstanding the easy print cloth market and the depression in yarns The most prominent fact is the indisposition of the trade to look for more than a temporary decline as no one expects the south to give way.

MARKET
 CLOSES STEADY
Part of Previous Days Decline
 Is Recovered
GOOD DEM AND IN MARKET
Claims Are Made That Interior Mar kets Are Higher Than Ports, as They Decline to Follow the
 Fall of Prices,

New York, March 1.-The cotton mar ket was less active today, but ruled stead- fer and recovered nearly half of yester- days loss. The close was steady at a net advance of 5@7 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 4d7 points owing to better cables than expected, larger English spot sales and covering. renewal of scattering liquidation, such as that noted during yes terday's trading, sent prices back to with in a point or two of last nights finals during the early session, but there was a good demand at the decline, recent local sellers for. turn became uneasy owing to the character of the buying (part of which seemed to be for the account of strong interests), and the market soon ral- lied again on covering and this support
 Business became less active in advance, and there were slight recessions during the afternoon, but the highest prices were reached in the late trading, and the close was within point or two of the top.
 Claims that interior holders were not fully following the decline in futures ex- cept possibly in limited supply of hedged cotton. helped up the movement, while no further rain of consequence was reported in the southwest and some of the Liver pool adviees were more encouraging with reference to business in Manchester and spot demand. Southern spot markets of ticially reported were unchanged to 1sc lower. The active selling of yesterday appeared to have relieved the market of urgent liquidation, but long cotton con- tinued to come out on today's advance, and local bears claim that the long in- terest again stradd1e and hedge sales are still considerable.
 Receipts at the ports today o,715 bales, against 20,097 last week and 16,743 last year.
 For the week, 10000 bales against 121- 129 last week and 9S.055 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, 5452, against 4755 last year, and at Houston, 3055, against S755 last year.

Spinning glass for practical uses was very well known by the ancient Egyptians, and we are now rediscov, ering it. Spun glass has long been known as a curiosity. A Frenchman in the middle of the last century de veloped the process along commercial lines, but died without revealing his secrets. These seem, however, to have been recently re-discovered in Germany.
 Glass thus drawn out into very thin threads is flexible and it is thought 1t will be possible to spin and weave it into clothes. These garments would be incombustible, non-conducting and impervious to acids. They can be beautifully tinted by using tinted glass. The insulating properties of the glass wool would render it valu- able as packing where it is desirable to keep in or exclude heat. In this case we should be resorting to the mineral Kingdom for our clothes, though as yet we have not these asbestos garments which could be washed by throwing them on the fire.
