The Chicago Tribune had a very
suggestive cartoon the other day that
fits the subject to a dot. The picture
shows the entrance hall to the chamb-
er where the Lorimer inquiry is being
held and outside gazing inward with
anxious eyes and horror stricken
features stands good old Aesop, he of
the many fables, and close behind
stands Baron Munchausen, noted for
his wonderful tales of questionable
truth, and in the background stands
good old Ananias, pulling his ancient
whiskers In horror as he listens to
the Lorimer witnesses. Ananias
seems like n anxious to do his share
in the Lorimer muck but Baron
Munchausen seems to say: "Ananias,
you have some reputation left-save
it. In there they would prove it was
you, not Lorimer who ven to the
Senate" and good old Ananias weaps.

COTTON MARKET
 STILL. i. NERVOUS
 N Local Selling Reflects No Important Change
PRICES RULED LOWER
Disappointment That Liverpool Came No Lower Than Due After Talk of Curtailment Among
 Lancashire Spinners

New York. March 4.--The cotton market continued more or less nervous today and prices ruled lower under scattered local selling which seemed to reflect no inn portant change in the general situation. The close was steady at net decline of to $ points.
 The market opened steady at decline of points to an advance of points, and during the first half hour sold 1 to points net higher on covering by some of yes terday's sellers, who were probably dis appointed that Liverpool came no lower than due in view of the talk of curtal- ment among Lancashire yarn spnners.
 Offerings seemed to become a little heavier on the advance to ii. 43c for May, however and with snothing in the early market to suggest support from the bull leaders, prices soon eased off, closing point or two up from the lowest on active months. Supporting orders appeared be- low 14.S5c for May, but the buying was by no means aggressive, although rather a better feeling was apparent in the late trading, owing to rumors that Canada had asked for a delay in action on the reciprocity bill, and that an extra session of Congress was consequently less likely. Cables from Liverpool indicate that Lam cashire spinners will meet on March 10 and discuss a proposal to curtail the production of yarns by shutting down on Saturdays for three months
 Mail advices from Liverpool recently, however reported an accommodating stock of yarns, attributable to the fact that large increases in spindlage capacity have overstripped the capacity of the looms. Reviews of the domestic mill situation showed no improvment, and while it was estimated that the curtailment of the print cloth production in Fall River for the past week was 100000 pieces it was stated that this was not sufficient to pre- vent some accumulation. Southern ad- vices on the other hand report that stocks of raw cotton remaining in the interior are not more than 70 to 72 per cent of last years. New crop months made new low records with October selling at 12 Soc and December at F. 36c on the decline to- day.,
 Receipts at the ports today, 16, ,656 bales, against 2S,677 last week and S521 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans. 2o75 bales, against Ss9 last year and at Hous- ton, 2142 bales, against 1888 last year.

SHIP IS SLOAD|NG
 FOOD FOR CHINESE

Seattle, Wash, March 4.-The work of loading the United States transport Bu- ford with provisions for the famine stricken sufferers in north China is pro- gressing rapidly and it is expected the vessel will be ready to sail early next week.
 Among the contributions received by the Commercial club yesterday were checks for s1o0o each from J. P. Morgan & Co. and Cyrus H. Mccormick. Chicago.
 The Christian Herald of New York tele graphed a,further order for 1000 sacks of flour. making to date 100000 pounds of flour given through it.
 Iankow, China, March 3-Twenty persons were trampled to death at Sha Yang, Tuapet province, today when a horde of starving Chinese fought for the food which missionaries were attempting to distribute. A great many others were injured.
 A large amount of foOdstuffs had been received by the missionaries, who immed~' lately planned a systematic distribution. ThCir work was hardly begun when thou sands of starving men. women and chil- dren swooped upon the supply depot.
 A riot which could not be controlled fol- lowed Each fought for himself and the weaker went dowp and were ruthlessly trampled. -

WHEAT REACHES
 HIGHEST POINT Better Tone in Flour Busi-
 ness One Cause BULLS VERY ACTIVE
Mills Northwest Led in Buying and There Was an Unmistakable Giving Out of the Bear
 Pressure

Chicago, March 4-Wheat closed strong today at the highest point of the week. The main reason was the defeat of all chances for immediate enactment of reel procity. Last trades showed a net gain of 11sc to 1ss@11kc. Every other leading staple on change finished also at an ad- vance. corn Ac to 1a@9sc, oats 1s@Ac to Ac, and provisions PEG to 171ac.
 A better tone in the flour business over Sunday covering by shorts and decided activity on the part of bull leaders con- tributed toward forcing wheat to a higher level Smallness of primary receipts had a part in bringing about the general scamper by shorts.
 Mills northwest led in the buying. and there was unmistakable giving out of bear pressure. None of these conditions, however. had full swing at the start. During the earlier portion of the session, in fact, a weak feeling prevailed chiefly because of decline at Liverpool. Vari- ous theories were put forward to explain the depression in England, but many deal- CTS here seemed most inclined to believe
 
 a little responsible. Buying force gained with the spread of this idea and kept the bears on the run. especially in the last half hour. Extreme low and high figures for May were S9%c and 91ssc, with the latter the ruling ones in the end, a rise of 1ss@11ac compared with "A hours before.
 Signs of considerable export business in but being covered up, strength ened corn. May ranged from 47Ssc to 4s1ac,, and closed 2s@Rc net higher at Cash corn was reported slow No. yellow finished at 461s447c.
 Oats rallied less than other grain. h. crease of country offerings weighed on the market. May varied between 30lsc and 3O5sc, with the close 1s@4c up at SOssc. Improvement in provision prices came from the strength of grain, better call from the south, where farm operations are beginning and the relatively higher quotations for lard in England. Pork at the end of the day had gained 71sq10c to l71ac; lard, 71sc to 7l4@1Oc. and ribs 21sa 121ac.
 T,,trro o,,otations were as fOllOWS.
