CHICAGO, Mr.rch S.- Heavy liquidation by

The we ght of accumulating stocks at a ■

part under shelter. Then it was seeu that •
i^othing in the early news was of a charac- j
trr to sustain, or at least improve the
ibancee for a rally, liquidation became gen
< ra:, and the price" of May wheat slipped off
easily to TON-c. Some covering of short wheat
;.rout.d that point, however, caused a slight
temporary recovery. The price, however,
boob had another slump, which took it as
low as 7(" 2 c
Ad\ir<s from California said that the crop

NEW YORK. March B.— The stock market
was dull most of the day, except at the
closing, when there was considerable activity.
The interest largely centered in the ooalsn
which made some handsome advances and a
number of the specialties went up over a
point, while fractional advances were the
rule in many other stocks. The published re
port of a combination of practically all the
coalr-rs was the ground fOT the strength in
those properties. Much interest attached to
the declaration of the regular dividends in
Sugar.
The market waited until it was announced
and then moderate activity appeared. Sugar
after opening higher and then losing more
than the earlier gain, rose albouit four pojnts
for the day. The large payment which the
government was to make to Southern Pa
cific on the claim allowed by congress lent
strength to that property. The- expectation
of favorable legislation lifted Consolidated
Gas some five points, there being a sympa
thetic rise in ether local stocks, including
Metropolitan and Brooklyn Transit, which
were up about half as much.
The stagnant tone which prevailed the
greater part of the session with fluctuations
of only % or so. was- d.'-jpolied during the
final dealings, when the coalers were marked
up ar.d there was a sympathetic rise else
where. Lackawanna and Reading first pre
ferred led the coalers with an advance of
3 each. Among the standard stocks St. Paul
gained a point.
Mw:ey~was f lightly' easier to3ay and' Closod
2%(53 per cent. Considerable money was
said to be heading this way from the interior
to take advantage of the recent firmer tone in
money, both for call and time. The discount
market also worked closer tcday, rates for
l>rime names ruling at 3'/4@3%c. The closing
tone of the stock market was strong.
There was a decided increase in bond opera
tions today, the- activity being attended by a
higher lev-?l for the lea/ling issues. Erie Gen
erals and Chicago Terminal 4s were unusual
ly active and made substantial gains. Total
sales. $4,600,000. U. S. 4s and the 5s de
clined M In bid price.

WALL~ST R~EET~GOSSIP— New " York stock
gossip, reported by H. Holbert & Son, bank
ers and brokers, 341 Robert street, .National
German- American Bank building, St. Paul:
Strong, Sturgis & Co. wire us: "We have
had a moderate recovery to our market, due
mainly to strength of the coal shares. It is
generally believed that the adjustment of
the anthracite coal interests will enable
Reading first preferred to earn easily its
4 per cent and that the second preferred will
likewise be a dividend earner and payer. Act
ing upon this leading and powerful street
interests have been buying during the day
and have created a sympathetic strength in
other stocks. The Question of money is be
ing extensively discussed and the street is
beginning to take the matter of ways and
means seriously. There is no fear of tight
money, but there is every reason to look foi
a higher rate of interest for at least part
of this month. It is well understood that
5 per cent is asked and paid on time loans
with industrial shares as collateral, while 4
per cent on good mixed loans is usual. We
think this is not an unhealthy state of
money, but. on the contrary, yet it is cal
culated to check a sort of broadcast specula
tion and bring the business of the street to
a normal basis. Our friends in Northern
Pacific are buying common, confident of much
higher prices for It during the year."
FOREIGN FINANCIAL— New York., March
8. — The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says: "Markets here

Investment securities were duil, In anticipa
tion of a big budget deficiency. Americana
closely followed New York, and little was
done here. They were firm till the after
noon, when New York bought the coa!er3
heavily. The close was at the best. Bears
advanced Central Pacifies."

receive the orders which they anticipated
earlier in the season, they naturally feel dis
inclined to buy very liberally of wool The
business is also intensified by the announc°
nient of the formation of the worsted trust
which has been the all-absorbing topic ol
conversation, both in manufacturing circles
and In the wool trade. Prices are generally
unchanged, although dealers thow more die

— Cotton market opened steady at 1 j>o:m
advance and moved ud one point mere on
a temporary flush of buying orders and coy- i
erlng following the EnglU-h cables noting ;i
fair business ln spot cotton, and an advance
of l-64d ln futures, and the fact that only
6,000 "notices" were issued and that there
■were promptly absorbed, leaving the- impres
sion that there could be no more cotton
tendered than wou'd be taken care of. The i
outside cotton buyers were not ready to give j
further support to the general li«>t and the ]
market commenced to sag. There wa3 no !
outside interest to ei>eak of. and very few !
orders reached this market from the South
or Europe. Business soon became local;
there was moderate covering met by moderate
liquidation, which kept the market within
a narrow oompas'i'. Futures closed stoady ,
