General Trade Slow —Spot Cotton
Firm and Unchanged--Contracts a
Shade better.
News Office, March 12.—General trade during
the day was slow- Packers' agents report the
market for bacon and dry salt meats as without
animation, but make no alteration in prices. There
is nothing yet doing in wool, in the absence of re
ceipts. The Boston Commercial List of Saturday
thus reviews the market: 44 The market the past
week was generally admitted to have been a
quiet one, but at tho same time the ag-
gregate sa'es amounted to 2,314,700 pounds
of all kinds, and, when we consider the un
favorable weather, the business on the * h >le has
been a good average one. At the same time R
must be admitted that the trade is very unsatisfac-
tory, prices are low and there is no prospect of any
immediate improvement. There is and has bet n
no profit in the business the pn^t season. Dealers
who were able to obtain cost for d me-;tic fleeces
have been fortunate, and low when the bulk of
Australia wool has bean received, the importers
find it difficult to obtain cost, and in some instances
it is offered for less than cost." Local millers report
a continuation of the previously reported brisK de-
mand for flour, and reduce the quotation for patent
only 10c per barrel, the difference between that and
the other grades having been considered too great.
Hides are firm at previous prices, with light re-
ceipts. The receipts at Boston during the past
week from all domestic sources were 21,096, accom-
panied by an active demanJ. E?gs are in good
supply at previous prices. Tne arrivals of poultry
have been rather slack, but dealers repeat former
quotations. Cabbage is in moderate suppiy fio u
near-by farms, with California reported as en route.
Locally the condition of the coffee market is un-
changed. Of the New York market the Journal of
Commerce, of Saturday, says: *' The market for
the Brazil grades is without variation of mo-
ment. The temper rather favors buyers, but
the changes to prices are unimportant. Buying
continues of a cautious character in an invoice
way, and is very moderate of job lots. A sale is
understood to have been made of 1000 bags Rio on
private terms. The options are 5(££10 points
higher, and closed barely steady, with a mod erate-
ly active trading. East India grades are held well
up to recent quoted prices on a light Inquiry.
West India sorts have a better demand. Sales of
1200 bags Maracaibo on private terms; also 3005
bags washed Caracas, 400 bags unwashed do. and
3000 &gs Laguara, ex steamer Valencia, on pri-
vate terms." Grain is quiet, and no alteration
was made in prices during the day.
The receipts of leading articles during the day
were as follows:
3!Bones, cars 1
11 Horses, cars
2 Oats, cars
3 Eggs, cases 25
1 iSugar, bbls 118
Spot cotton during the day was generally firm
and unchanged, and contracts at the close exhib-
ited an improvement of a few po'nts as compared
with the opening. Liverpool ruled firm and un-
changed for spots, with transactions to the extent
of 12,000 bales. Futures opened steady and closed
firmer at a partial improvement of a paint. At
New i'ork spots opened, ruled and closed quiet and
unci*, nged, with sales of 245 bales, which were
taken by spinners. Futures opened dull, ruled
dull, but closed steady at sn improvemeni
of 1®4 points. Saie3 24,000 bales. At New
Orleans spots closed firm and without change,
the takings aggregating 6500 bales. Futures
opened steady and slightly better, ruled quiet
and closed steady at an improvement varying
from 1 to 6 points. Sales 20,000 bales. In the local
market the spot business was small, the sales
amounting to only 359 bales, at previous prices, the
closing tone bsing officially reported as firm. Con-
tracts were slow, the transactions aggregating but
500 bales, and the market closing steady at an ad-
vance of 3@6 points. The receipts at the outports
for the. day exhibited a material falling off, being
but 7207 bales, against 24,300 bales for the same dale
last year—a shrinkage of 17,093 bales, which makes
the deficiency in the receipts since August 31, as
compared with the like period in 1882-83, 692,100
bales.
The following were the receipts of cotton at
Galveston for the twenty-four hours ending at 6

THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS.
[Special to The News. i
Chicago, March 12. The leading speculative
markets on 'chant® are active and stronger, but in
a rather uncertain way. The 50 per cent, reduc-
tion in freight rates to the seaboard seems to be
the leading feature, but many prominent operators
fear that the thing will not materialize except into
a stock-jobbing operation. Railroad men gener-
ally are decidedly opposed to any cut in rat's from
this city, c aiming that, although the business
handled will be much larger, the total of each
road's earnings will be considerably decreased.
Wheat rides firmer. Reports are coming in that
the winter wheat in Kansas, Missouri aud Southern
Illinois has been damaged by the cold, and while
the injury may not extend over a very large
section of country. it is enough to
induce some large speculators to ouv the property.
It is supposed that the Big Four are yet heavily
short, but they have had their heads together
lately in a way which leads kno ving onos to think
they are covering a big line, though some people
sav they are all-powerful, and can run the markets
down again if they choose to. I^ocally the feeling
is tui ning more to the long side, aud speculative
confidence is returning to the trade, so that we
only lack outside business to stimulate th.' market,
Crittenden, who of late has beeu a prominent pur-
chaser, says to-night: "Wheat is certainly fast
par ing friends, aud tbe enormous short interest
wil! help prices up^ibarply. if buyers will only take
advaura^e of market Conditions." It is reported
that Messrs. Scott, Linn, Hcbbs and Comstock are
buying extensively on private advices of wholesale
damage to the winter wheat plant, and the
belief that the demands of consumers are soou
likely to cause a material reduction in the amount
of grain in sight. It is estimated that 900.000 bush-
els of whe.it ark required daily to supply the do-
mestic consumptive demand. At this rate of
diminution the entire visible supply would be ex-
hausted in a trifle over five weeks. There is yet,
however, a considerable amount of wheat whiVh
has uot left first bands, and when bull speculators
endeavor to form estimates and deduce arguments
from this unknown quantitv. they soou find them
selves at sea iu their calculations. Cash wheat in
St Louis is 2 cents higher than at the seaboard,
and \ et St. Louis is ouly getting about 40 cars per
day; hence manj* argue that the wheat is not iu
the couutry, and that when navigation opens our
large stock will he rapidly depleted, as exporters
are already bidding very close to the market for
large blocks of No. 2 spring.
The corn pit is characterized by a decidedly
buoyant tone, and a strong local feeling has crop-
ped cut on the* recent decline. which has culmina-
ted in buying orders of such a character as to
largely iimrease confidence in regard to future
prices, "rue low range of values has been suffi-
cient to tempt both longs and shorts to buy, and,
the two combined, have been able to bring about a
complete change in price, tone and sentiment.
This market is far more largely oversold than that
for wheat, and leading operators will be surprised
if some of the sellers do not get badly squeezed,
smaller receipts may be expected as soon as the
weather turus warm. 1 he low grades now moving
forward so freely will not be wanted iu milder
weather, because they will not keep long, and
shippers will be^in to take the speculative grade ♦
It is also rumored to-night that all the wheat re-
cently bought by odd brokers *is for Armour^and
that the same parties have started a little corn
deal. A decline in freight rates is likewise of far
more importance in the case of corn than of wheat,
because the one is wanted at tho East if the other
is not.
Provisions are unsettled and prices irregular.
The leaders in the market are evidently playing
for a decline, and many think we shall get a some-
what lower range of values before much addition-
al advance. Cudalhy has the pork and Fowler the
lard, and outsiders are afraid to trade in either one.
The legitimate situation, however, is undoubtedly
very strong as Chicago packers fail to find much
encouragement in the limited hog supply to enlarge
upou their operations. Th~ majority of the houses
are closed, aud the few yet open make a poor show-
ing of business. The light receipts of hogs have
brought packing here almost to a standstill, ar.d
there is no likelihood of an improvement until the
arrivats show a decided increase. Some leading
speculators, however, consider the property as
h gh as the condition of the business fairly war-
rants. yet, as the market is in a good shape for
manipulation, they are about as loth to sell as to
buy.

What the German minister Says.
Washington, March 11.—Mr. Von Eisen-
decker, German minister, said to a reporter of
the Associated Press, yesterday, iu reply to in
quiries in regard to the return of the Lasker
resolution, that Lie had carried eut his instruc
tioos. His government's action in the matter
was. he said, two-ford. In the first place it was
compelled, for important reasons relating to
the internal politics of Germany, not to send
the resolution to the Reichstag, and yet it
could not merely re ain it. since that "might
have implied indifference or discourte-y, and
the course pursued by the government was
certainly the most courteous that the situation
permitted. The minister felt entirely satis-
fied, he said, there was no disrespect or dis-
courtesy intended on either side.
The Hog- Question.
P/kis, March 11.—The committee of the
Chamber of Deputies to which the question of
the importation of pork had been referred, de-
cided—subject to the approval of the govern-
ment—to consult the consuls of the various
departments on the matter. Meanwhile. M.
Lanissan, member of the committee, resolved
to request the government to suspend the em-
bargo on pork until the committee siiall have
come to a liual decision.
Concerning- Athletics.
New York, March 11.—Representatives of
colleges and universities from which proceeded
the circular regarding intercollegiate athletics
met here yesterday, and issued a circular t
the effect that, as there is no prospect that 1
plan will be received with gener al favor. 110
further move will be made by the committee.
Funeral Prohibited.
Paters on, N. J. March 11.—Bishop "Wigger
has refused to allow the funeral of William
Hay den and wife to take place from the church,
because the Haj dens disobeyed the order of
the b shop, three years ago, prohibiting the
sale of liquor on Sunday.

Ugly Reports About a ZSachine Com-
pany.
Milwaukee, March 11.—There are ugly ru-
mors afloat to the effect that nearly $100,000
dropped through some hole in the money box
of the Dennett Harvesting Machine compan3r
during last year. It is alleged that experts
are at work on the books. The officers of the
company are Stephen Bull, of Racine,
president; Hiram W. Conger, Milwaukee,
vice-president; Frederick A. Dennett, secretary
and treasurer, and Geo. H. Shulte, superin-
tendent. In interviews to-night, A. K. Ham-
ilton, of Fon du Lac, and G. A. Burnham,
heavy stockholders, denied that there was
anything crooked, and said "they made no
charges against the treasurer. They allege
they are having the books examined by ex-
perts only, as all large corporations do every
year.
Frederick Dennett, the late treasurer, said
in an interview that there was disagreement
among the directors last fall, and A. K. Hamil-
ton had intimated at the meeting that money
was leaking out. He said he asked for a thor-
ough investigation, but nothing was done. He
resigned in December. It is tiiought if there
have been losses it was onlj' through misman-
agement, and that all the accounts will be
found correct.

XK1SSOTJRZ REPUBLICANS.
The Filley and anti-Filley Factions.
St. Louis, March 11.—The Republican State
committees of both the Filley and anti-Filley
factions of the party, met here to-day. The
latter, o» what is more generally known as the
Van Hornmittee, received and considered
the resolution* recently adopted by the Filley
committee urging harmonv ^oetween the fac-
tions, and iisking for lftin* »ction of the com-
mittees in calling the State _-onvention.
AfLr discussion a reply was made to the
effect that as they (the Van Horn committee)
considered themselves the only legitimate Re-
publican committee in the State, they could
not join with any other committee in" calling
the State convention. They however extended
a cordial invitation to Mr. Filley and his
friends, and to all Republicans, tc assist in
sending delegates to * Republican State con-
vention to be held in jwalia April 9,
After this action the Van Horn commit-
tee the Filley committee held another brief
session and adjourned till to-morrow, when it
is expected they will issue a call for a separate
convention, and thus keep up the split in the
party. ^
The Department of Agriculture.
At a late meeting of the Agricultural asso-
ciation, in New York, the bureau of agricul-
ture was severely criticised. One of the mem-
bers, Mr. Tinkham, said that he had one of
the little bags of wheat sent from Washing-
ton, and from the one bag were produced on
his farm four kinds of wheat, three kinds of
barley, and one kind each of oats and rye. A
bag of turnip seed was sent to him, and not
oue of the seeds grew.
How long will the people of this country, by
their silence and tacit acquiescence, continue
to allow this absurd farce of a free-seed distri-
bution to be officially enacted by our govern-
ment? The whole department is evidently
prostituted by aspiring politicians, seeking to
advance their interests in their respective dis-
tricts. It is subservient to them In a despicable
way, and it has long been so. Departing from
the original intention of its establish-
ment in affording a means of sending
to different parts of the country seeds am
plants of new varieties of merit that would not
be apt otherwise to be disseminated, it has be-
come a sluice-way through which, with some
things that are good, flow the screenings of
the seed trade of the world. We sincerely
hope that never, while this department is
capable of being abused, as it now is, may
its head become a member of the president's
cabinet.
Perhaps it is too much to expect of human
nature to suppose that the commissioner alone
can breast the tide that so strongly and dan-
gerously sets against the virtue of the average
voter and the purity of free government, and
we may, therefore, allow the mantle of charity
to screen him, at least to some extent, while we
lay tbe charge of this unfortunate state of af-
fairs to the ignorance and inexperience of the
whole community, the voters at large. We,
however, can not longer be blameless if we re-
fuse to notice and to take steps to abolish this
system of patronage and political corruption.
[Vick's Illustaated Magazine for March.
Mrs. Fannie Crapo, who is a flourishing
female farmer in Waverly, Van Buren county,
Mich., has had the misfortune to lose her best
barn, and all its contents, by fire. She con-
fessed that she was in the habit of putting live
coals in an adjacent hen-heuse 4i to encourage
the hens in laying," but however encouraging
to the hens it was very discouraging to the
barn.

Pennsylvania Company.
Philadelphia. March 11.—The annual
meeting of the stockholders of the Pennsylva-
nia Railroad company took place to-day.
President Roberts being asked by Mr. Lock-
wood about the charges that some shippers
were charged one-half a cent per ton of coal
per mile, while others were charged three
cents, he replied the company never charges
one man more than another under the same
circumstances.
Mr. Lock wood asked if the Pennsylvania
company charged itself with the responsibility
for the loss of but $11,228 on the lines west of
Pittsburgh, when the actual loss was shown to
be much greater.
The president replied that the amount repre-
sented the Pennsylvania Railroad company's
proportion of the loss on these lines.
Resolutions adopting the annual report
(which has already been published), and in-
structing the incoming board of directors to
carry iti recommendations into effect, were
adopted.
The policy indicated in the annual report in
regard to paying dividends was approved, and
the board is authorized to act accordingly.
Mr. Lock wood offered a resolution denounc-
ing various contracts with other corporations
as a usurpation of the power of the sharehold-
ers. aud demanding an investigation.
Pending action, the meeting adjourned.

FEAHF7JL FLAISES.
Destructive Prairie Fire.
Kansas City, March 11.—A destructive
prairie fire was started by a locomotive spark
yesterday afternoon, near Kinsley, Kan.,
burning a number of ranches, dwellings, and
other property. Mrs. George W. Matheny*
was burned to death in the endeavor to save
her home.
Dreadful Destruction of Property at
East St. Xiouis.
St. Louis, March 11.—Probably the most
destructive fire that ever occurred in East St.
Louis took place to-night. The flames first
caught in a small barber-shop in a row of old
frame buildings on the river front, situated be-
tween the freight yards of the Chicagoand
and Alton railroad on the north and the Ohio
and Mississippi on the south.
There being no lire department in the place
the surrounding property was entirely at the
meeoy of the flames, which spread with great
rapidity and in a few minutes had enveloped
not only the whole row of frames, but spread
to the transfer company's stables in the rear;
thence to the Advance elevator still further to
the east, and the entire property was de-
stroyed.
The elevator had a capacity of half a million
bushels, and is said to have contained between
200,000 and oo0,0u0 bushels of com, about 500.-
000 bushels of oais, aud 10,000 of wheat. Lead-
ing west from this elevator was a long con-
veyor, connecting with tne elevator bin on the
river bank, belonging to the same company.
Part of tnis conveyor was burned, but the re*
mainder was torn down, and the elevatofr
itself, which is a large new building of 750,000
bushels capacity, was. saved.
Extending northward, the fire spread to the
freight office of the Chicago and Alton road,
an i the cars in the extensive yards of that
company. The freight office, which teas torf
merly a"passenger deppfc, was totally destroyed
and a large number empty and laden caj$
were burned. On the tracks burning cars weM
pulled out of the yards to Cone station, neat
the ^National stock-yards, where the flame^
communicated to a long line of other cax% o^
a siding, and all of them, said to number from
seventy-five to eighty, were destroyed.
A number of cars in the Ohio and Mississippi
yards on the south and still others on the traclfc
near elevator A and in the Chicago and Aiton
yards were also burned.
It is estimated that fully 140 cars were
burned—perhaps one-third to one-half of whipjl
were laden with grain and merchandise. Twq
old repair shops of little value and an
in the rear of the elevator A were also I
The losses can not be accurately stated to-nigh£
The estimates at this writing are: Elevatqj
building, $150,000 to $200,000; grain, $300akxfc
cars and freights, $75,000; damage to fre^^»
yards and railroad buildings, $40,000 to I
000; a row of frame buildings—repair shops,
stables, etc.—$10,000, or perhaps a total of
$500,000. One fire engine aud two hose-car**
riages were present from this city, but did not
reach there in timo to be of much service, and
the tire may almost be said to have burned
itself out.
The insurance is not yet ascertained.
Ellis's Explanation.
Washington, March 11.—The house com-
mittee on postolnees and post roads to-day
heard tho testimony of Representative Ellis, oi
Louisiana, regarding his alleged connection
with the Star-route contracts. He made the
statement broadly and emphatically denying
the receipt, or promise of money for
such aid as he had rendered
Brett in securing a mail cont
which aid, he said, was only such as he
rendered to other Louisiana people wheneve.,
ho could. It was of a character which*
ha, as a representative, considered it
his duty to render in the interest
of his constituents. He showed on receiving
the first intimation that a paper was in the
possession of Inspector Woodward which cast
an imputation upon him (Ellis), he at once
sought out Brett, who went with him to the
inspector, to whom Brett stated there was not
the slightest foundation for the charge.
