Corn Swaps With Wheat.

Corn swayed with wheat. There was
persistent selling in small lots. After
opening shade to LAS lower. the
market f1uctuated within a range of
about = and chiefly below yesterdays
latest figures.
Oats had no independent action.
Floor traders, who did the bulk of the
trading, seemed to incline to the bear
side.
Higher prices on hogs gave only
transient strength to provisions. Sub
sequent down turns resulted from the
weakness of grain.
In later transactions the provision
market was given support by packers
and there were corresponding gains in
prices
Reports of the capture of the Ger
man sea raider Moewe helped after
ward to cause another wheat upturn,
but the effect failed to last.
The close was nervous at "A to y
net decline, with May Liz and July
1.0S&.
The fact that corn receipts were light
and the prospect of a better domestic
demand gave a slight transient adj
vantage to the bulls. The close was
unsettled at a shade to u net de-
cline.

SWEDEN is Determined
NOT TO ENTER BIG WAR

STOCKHOLM, via London, March e.
Sweden is just as determined as she
was eighteen months ago not to inter-
fere in the war as long as she can
maintain her national honor and dig
nifty" said Eric Trolle, former Swedish
minister of foreign affairs and later
minister to Germany, discussing the
country's policy.
THE only consideration on which
Sweden would end her neutrality would
be one involving violation of her SOW
ereign rights by belligerents. / do not
believe, however. that any of the bel
ligerents would take the risk Of add
ing to the enemies they have at pres
emit. The Swedish government and peo-
pie are unanimous in favor of peace.
but not Of peace which means a sacri-
fee of rights"

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, March Trading was
quiet in the cotton market here early
today, but the tone was rather steadier
owing to the small offerings, relatively
steady cables and talk of better spot
demand. The market opened at an ad-
vance Of points on March and of to 3
points on later months. with the active
deliveries selling about 4 to points net
higher This advance carried May con-
tracts up to 11.47 and July to 11.68, or
just about even with the best point
reached on the rally of Tuesday.
Buying by trade interests was a little
more in evidence during yesterdays
late trading. and probably promoted the
covering of shorts this morning, but the
demand was by no means general and
sentiment still seemed to be more or less
unsettled.
Futures opened steady: March, 1872;

Copper Dividends Are Larger.

Larger dividends We're declared today
by several of the leading copper pro-
ducing companies Utah Copper de-
clared an extra dividend of 81 in addi-
ton to its regular quarterly dividend
of S1.5O.
Butte and Superior declared the
regular rs cent quarterly dividend and
an extra dividend Of SO, as against
the extra $3.50 dividend declared three
months ago.
Chino Copper directors declared
quarterly dividend of SIPS, an increase
of 20 cents over the previous quarter.
Evidences of Support.
Shortly after the opening the market
began to sag, reaching somewhat be-
low the closing figures of yesterday.
Then. very slowly. the list began to
steady, with here and there fractional
gain. and then all trading seemed to stop
until well along in the second hour,
when the support became more impress
sive and the advances noted before
were scored.
But there was nothing impressive in
the better action of the market. moth
ing to indicate that confidence had been
restored or that the big interests were
vent further raiding by the bears.
And with the stiffening of prices here
and there, fractions at best. intense
dulness prevailed. The bears did mot
care to act against supported market.
and the fact that the decline was APP
parently checked for the time being
did not inspire any belief that the prob
lens that confound and complex are
nearer a solution.
Into the afternoon. even to the end
of the second hour. the same degree of
dizziness prevailed and q study of quo
tations is necessary to give an idea of
fluctuations. which were not of an
average.
