COMMERCIAL.
News Office. Fob. 27.—This was a tough day
and ono full of disappointment for those who
pinned their faith to bettor prices for cotton.
The Liverpool advices were far from encourag-
ing, that markot opening lower for deliveries and
dull and with prices in favor of buyers for spots.
The saloB wero only 5000 balos.
This bad Liverpool caused our markets to open
8 points lower and with little or no reaction;
prices declined slowly all day, closing at the low-
est quotations of tho day. There wero rumors that
other mills had shut down, and this, added to the
weak feeling, induced freo selling.
Private dispatches from Now York late in the
aftornoon stated that there was a stronger feel-
ing, due to the fact that the long interost had
been well liquidated, and that tho light move-
ment was thought sufficient to keep prices from
going much below9 cents for May in Now York.
The spot cotton markot shared somewhat in
tho depression, the general tone boing duty and
quiet. New York and New Orleans each declined
l-16c, while this market reduced all grades He,
closing nominal, with no sales reported at the
exchange.
Liverpool futures opened steady and 2 to 3
points lower, ruled dull near tho opening, de-
clined and closed barely steady and 4 to 5 points
lower.
New York opened easy and 8 points lower, lost
2 to 3 points and ruled steady, doclined again and
closed easy and about 18 points lower.
Now Orleans opened barely steady and 8 points
lower, lost 2 to 3 points and ruled steady, de-
clined again and closod barely steady and about
18 points lowor.

PRODUCE MARKETS.
CHICAGO.
Chicago, 111., Fob. 27.—Tho lowest prices of
the harvest wero made to-day for wheat, corn
and oats. No. 4 spring wheat to tho number of
21 cars sold at 50 cents a bushel. At that rate the
farmer who raised wheat would not realize over
35 cents por bushel for it if it came from any
great distance. Compared with Saturday's clos-
ing pricos, wheat was lowor and corn and oats
each Mc off.
Provisions wero firm and higher, and closed
with tho following gains: Pork, 12l/sc; lard, 17'Ac
and ribs, 15c.
Mild woathor waa accepted by many as a har
binger of an early spring, and probably had an
influence upon tho minds of traders.
Tho soiling of May wheat and tho buying of
July last Saturday by parties supposed to repre-
sent. tho so-called bull clique also tended to upset
tho previous popular estimate regarding tho in-
tentions of heavy longs toward tho fllay deal, it
was also tho general opinion that the visible sup-
ply would not show much if any decroaso. In
tho lattor respect tho crowd was in orror.
Low tomperature prevailing in tho northwest,
following tho recent mild woathor, is regarded as
a dangerous visitaut. But on an advance thoro
seemed to bo a goneral desire to soil, under which
tho markot became docidodly depressed, and
there was free liquidation.
Corn trading was rather spasmodic, with a lib-
eral businoss eventually scored, prices moving
down fractionally with tho situation in general,
"'ho drift of tho sentiment was one of "boarish-
noss."
Froo liquidation by longs in oats caused a
heavy feeling.
Tho provision market opened strong on small
receipts of hogs, but a slump in grain finally af-
fected pricos, and tho close was about at medium
figures.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
New York, Feb. 27.—Tho stock market was
quite active to-day, but almost free from excito-
mont, but liquidation in many stocks continued
and tho boars wore activo in differont portions of
of tho list, giving the markot as a wholo a droop-
ing appearance throughout most of tho day,
while a fow stocks wero materially depressed,
Movements wore irregular throughout the day,
however, and hero and there substantial gains
were established.
A hardening tendency of monoy restricted buy-
ing for long account, and tho unfavorable bunk
statement Saturday intonsiflod anxietv with re-
gard to money rates in tho immediate future.
Late in tho day 8 per cent was reached in call
loans, which gave tho principal incontivo to a
vigorous drive at Reading, although a rumor
that tho report of tho receivers would bo un-
favorable was used to depress tho stock to the
lowest point yot attained Binco it bogan to de-
cline.
The buying of stocks to-day was for short ac-
count. Opening pricos in almost all casos were
slightly lowor and fractional concessions general
in oarly trading. Grangers wero weak, but sugar,
after selling down to 110%, was lifted to 122. The
entire improvement was not maintained. It lot
off to 119at the close, a not gain of 2%, Tho
only other stocks to show any marked strength
during the day woro New England and Northern
Pacific proferred.
The goneral market closed hoavy at tho lowest
pricos. Railroads moved in sympathy with
stocks.

Killed by the Cars.
Warren, Tex., Feb. 27.—Dick Gilliland waa
run ovor by an empty car on the William
Brautfh tram at this placo yesterday ovoning.
He only livod a few minutes. The accident
occurred at tho Braugh commissary, about
sovon miles from Warren station. Tho train
stopped at tho commissary a few minutos, at
which time the doceasod yot on an empty car
as the train was going after a load of logs, and
it is supposed that the sudden starting of the
train caused him to become overbalanced,
which resulted in his falling on the track be-
fore the moving Oars.
New York, Feb. 27.-[Special.]—Earnings of
tho International for tho third wook in February
increased $21,350; Kansas and Texas, $11,256.
The expected hoavy gold shipment for to-mor-
row was cut down to nothing. Foreign exchungo
was too weak to allow shipments and tho treasury
breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Tho dying ad-
ministration will pull through now by tho skin of
its teeth and uo bonds will bo issued.
Stooks vory irregular, with bear raids on Read-
ing, Erio, Louisville, St. Paul and Burliiigton.
Roading droppod 3 points to 251^.
Tho bonds wero also pressed for sale at lowor
pricos.
It was reported that tho Erie company had
beon cablod from London that no loan could bo
made thoro to roads with non-dividonds intho pres-
ent tompor of the mouey markot, which was still
docidely bad humor over tho Reading
smash up. Now England closod 10 per cont
higher, sugar bouncod to 122, closing 2 per cont
off on realizations. Tho gonoral market closed
nervous, but better priceB aro anticipated when
Cleveland takes the reins.

At wood, Vlolett & Co.'n Circular.
New Orleans, La., Feb. 27.—("Special.]—At-
wood, Violett A Co.'s circular says: With no
settlement of the labor troubles Liverpool falls
back to 5000 spot sales and futures closo barely
6t.oady and 4 points lowor than Saturday. Wo have
heretofore spoken of the farmer as the original
cause of largo crops, but on the othor hand the
groat majority of producers could not plant at
all but for the merchants' assistance, and, there-
fore, we must seek tho primary cause in tho
morchant. Credit is a strong inducement to
take something that dooB not havo to bo paid for
immediately, and, therefore, it is a temptation
human naturo generally succumbs to in all tho
walks of life. This decline, however, is becom-
ing bo serious, a matter that the southern people
may well ask if American cotton is such a
powerful factor after all from a consumptive
point of view, because the advance from Septom-
bor last to tho highest reached, may stimulate
production olsewnere than America and before
very long wo may havo to confront the auestion
not only as to tho advisability of crops of 7,000,000,
but whethor even smaller crops ehall not bo ac-
tually necessary to prevent a repetition of tho
three past months experienoe. Unless the tak-
ings of American cotton in this country and
abroad shall be larger than thoy havo been for

MoElroy & Gibert'e Circular,
New Orleans, La., Feb. 27.—[Special]—Mc-
Elroy A Gibort Bay: Tho rumor that prevailed
hero Saturday of tho proposod resumption of
2,000,000 spindles to-day lacks confirmation, and
tho decline of 4-64d in Liverpool, combinod with
spot Balos of 5000 bales, scoms to indicate tiie
uttor groundlessness of tho report. Tho iinpros-
sion in Liverpool appears to bo that tho chances
aro moro in favor of othor mills joining tho lock-
out than of any acceding to tho strikers' terms,
It is only natural that tho trade should beliovo in
an indefinito continuance of the strike and a cor-
responding decline. Our spot market shows
plainly the effect of tho withdrawal of tho Bpln"
ners, and sales woro only 150 bales by factors, and
750 balos to arrive. Futures, which had ranged
about 10 points lowor than Saturday during tho
greater part of tho day, droppod 8 points moro
when tho full meaning of tho spot situation
showed itself in tho oasy tone, diminutive saleB
and declino of l-10c. Wo finally closo 18 pointB
bolow Saturday's liguros.
Tho criticul stago of tho Hatch anti-ontion
measure is now at hnnd. During tho remaining
days of tho session until midnight of March L
any bill whioh has a two-thirds' majority may
bo brought up and passed undor a suspension of
tho rules. Thoro is nothing to indicate that Mr.
Hatch can muster this roquisito majority. On
tho contrary, it is gonorally boliovod that he will
not bo ablo to bring his bill to a vote, still, until
tho speaker's ffavelshall havo sounded tho doath-
knoll of tho Fifty-second congress, the country
can not foal safe against tho iniiiction of this
most dostructivo legislation.
Receipts at all ports to-day aro 12,000 bales,
against 39,000 last yoar. To-morrow New Orleans
expects 11,000 bales, against 6100 last year and
17,000 at all ports.
I. E. Glonny & Co.'s Circular.
New Orleans, La., Feb. 27.—[Special.1—I. E.
Glonny A Co. say: Tho total sales in Liverpool
to-day wero 5000 balos, of whioh lots than 4000
were American, and tho future market closed
barely stoady at 4-64d decline. Our cable said
nothing about the strike, and there was uo news
about tho anti-option bill, it not having boon
brought up before the close of businoss to-day
The Bniall spot businoss in Liverpool to-day was
considered an evldonco that thoro was no imme-
diate prospect of a settlement of the strike and
an increased demand for cotton, and it had a de-
pressing effect on our markot, which oponod oasy
at a decline of 8 to 10 points. Holders OI long
cotton seomod to bo discouraged, and any de-
mand was froely mot at gradually declining
pricos during the entire day. As tho market
gradually declined the lower prices, instead of
causing a demand, brought out fresh Boiling
orders, both on stop limits and where further
margins wero roquired, and we closod at the
lowest prices of the day, tho last sales of May
cottou being ut 8.78c, a decline of 18 points sinco
Saturday evening. There was also very little de-
mand for spot cotton, sales of which amouuted
to only 150 bales, with oillcial quotations re-
ducod l-lflc, tho markot being dull and easy, and
it would have boon difficult to offoct sales unless
bolow quotations. Rocoipts thus far this week
havo beon light, boing only 20,000 balos, against
32,000 for tho same time last yoar, but they seem
to bo ontiroly ignorod in tho proseut condition of
the market. Receipts at our port to-morrow are
estimated at 10,000 to 11,000 bales.
Cotton and Wheat,
Slogfr. Gruner A Co. under date of Now York,
February 21, say: Tho goneral idea with rogard
to tho duration of tho Lancashire striko—par-
ticular roforeuco to which was made in our last
report—had to be modified somewhat protty
soon. Numorous tolograms from Liverpool, as
also from Now Orleans, wore producod stating
that a compromiso in the rate of wages was be-
ing considered and that, at any rate, tho strike
would soon be a thing of tho past. If onyb dy
here continued skoptical about it oven then the
almost excited Btato of tho Liverpool markot
forced him to attribute some truth to all thoso
rumors. The lattor then proved tho principal
guiding factor to tho markot during tho week
undor roviow, and this all tho moro, as the anti-
option bill was asleop and could not bo brought
up boforo tho house until yesterday. But it ho
happonod that jrestorday passed without, the bill
boing prosonton, and this gave tho market an ad-
ditional impetus, and where last week depression
was the rule wo now had ronowed confidence and
a growing belief that tho two important factors,
anti-option and the Lancashire strike, bid fair to
relinquish their hold on tho markot iu but a
shoit tiuv.
It must also be stated here that the believers in
a fair sized crop have latterly not beon a little
disuppointod at the tmallness of receipts in spito
of tho declino in prices and the froo offerings by
tho south, which should certainly have brought
out tho cotton if it was there. Hence revisions of
former estimates may be in order, and conse-
quently ideas with rogard to what should be a
reasonably safe price under the altered circum-
stances may likewise havo to undorgo a chango.
So far, however, this is all still largely prospec-
tive, for tho strike, unfortunately, is not settled
yot in spite of all rumors, and notwithstanding
small receipts, tho statistical position remains
weak. It is therefore imperatively necessary for
a settlement of the strike to bo an absolute ract»
as well as for the anti-option bill to bo finally dis-
posed of boforo tho markot can be rid of thoso
over recurring rapid changes of sentiment which
aro caused by mere rumors now.

Tho wheat market reflects still largoly tho dis-
appointment prevailing among tho bulls with
regard to tho slow decroaso in the availablo sup-
ply. At Minneapolis the receipts of spring wheat
aro still distressingly large, and instead of fur-
ther reports of protended damage to tho growing
winter wheat crop, thoro havo been actually this
woek advices of favorable condition from threo
or four states. Why those should bo believed in
any moro than the previous contrary reports can
bo explained on no other ground than that pos-
Bimism has by this time taken such a hold on tho
whoat trade that it prefers to take stock solely in
depressing features. But as thoro hasforsomo
time past existed an idea that tho Chicago mar-
ket was dominated by a clique, thoro was natur-
ally also a foar that tho lato somi-panic in some
railroad stocks and a tightening of rates would
throw much of the actual stuff upon tho markot.
This accounts for part of tho declino.
As far as this markot is concerned thoro is no
firosBure of cash whoat whatever. No. 2 rod "do-
iverod" continues quoted at l'ic below May, and
No. 1 northern at about 4o over May. Our stocks
lost again nearly one-half million busnels last
wook, and this with a decroaso in the visible sup-
ply of 750,000 bushols as against an eetimatod in-
crease of 5(.'0,000 bushels, served to at least chock
the declining tendency.
The reliance of tho bulls must as yet bo upon
tho government report of wheat in farmers' hands
on March 1, and upon any eventual damage to tho
crop. For tho present tnore is only tho low prico
and tho chances which generally accompany it.
The interior rocoipts for tlio week onding Feb-
ruary 11 aggregated 2,126,000 bushels, as against
2,418,000 bushels for the corresponding wook last
yoar. Exports from both coasts last, wook 3.080,-
000 bushels, as compared with 4,012,000 busliolB in
tho sauio wook ono year ago.
Hubbard, Prico & Co.'s Circular.
New Yorij, Fob. 27.—[Special. ]—Hubbard, Prico
& Co.'s circular says: The Liverpool markot to-
day shows a doclino of 5-64d. Spot sales aro 5000
balos. In Manchester yarns are reported as vory
strong, while cloths are quiet. The cause of tho
depression in Liverpool and tho sympathetically
lo\ver market horo is the strike.
Tho trading in this market to-day was upon a
reduced scale, but those who havo beon short of
cotton upon the expectation of tho continuance
of the strike havo to a considerable extent pro-
tected their sales. The news from Liverpool had
a depressing offoct upon our market, and open-
ing pricos showed a decline of about 7 points
from Saturday's closing figures. At 11 o clock
May contracts were about 12 points undor last
weok's finish.
During tho aftornoon tho markot gradually de-
clinod and final prices woro the lowest of tho day,
about 17 points under lastweuing's figures. Tho
weakness seems to have bfeon duo principally to
tho liquidation of cotton that was hold upon nar-
row margins.
The Post's Review.
New York, Fob. 27.—[Special. ] Tho Post says:
There was a more rational tone to tho stock mar-
kot during tho early hours to-day, although tho
opening was somewhat feverish and irregular.
There was, however, no return to bettor prices,
the favorable conditions being at least a tempo-
rary rest in tho work of depressing values. A boliof
that, the market had boon oversold and tho accu-
mulation in a short interest in a few specialties cro-
atod a sentiment favorable to increased activity,
but tho response was not especially encouraging.
The fact that there was no pronounced rally snows
that tho conditions that produced tho abnormal
doclino and activity of la it woek still exist at
least in a latent Btate.Theso conditions aro largely
of a monotary naturo and become moro and moro
aggravated day by day. There wero fow new do-
volonmonts, and it was practically a waiting
market.
New York Dry tiooils Market
New York, Fob. 27.—[Special.]—1Tho dry good,
market oponod with encouragemont from tho
woathor, but with no material chango as to tho
domand for goods. Mail orders wero bottor and
thoro was a little moro doing on tho spot.
The volume of business was. in kcoping with the
conservative tendencies in trade, aud with tho
condition of the markot. Goods aro still relativoly
scarce, and except in special instances of unde'
sirability of goods tho highest pricos havo to be
paid to securo any near delivery. Tho replenish-
ing roquest is stoady for moderate parcels of
staple cotton, brown, bleached and colored for
dross goods, dress cottons and prints, and for all
silk fabrics. A fow articles aro also in demand
for tho fall season, such as cloakings, dry goods
and blankets.
The markot continued under a firm tone but
without any prico changes. Tho jobbing trade
showed improvement.
British Grain Trade.
London, Feb. 27.—The Mark Lano Express, in
its wookly review of tho British grain market,
says tho prico of English whoat has not varied in
most of tho markets. London quotations aro up
to tho avorago. Salos of English whoat sinco
harvest aro 3,386,000 quarters as ugaiu6t 3,993,000
quarters for tho corresponding poriod last yoar.
Four and a half million quarters havo heretofore
boon the avorago salos. Tho prico of foreign is
slightly depreciated. Australian was privately
offering at 31a por 5 centals at Liverpool. Ono
hundred and Bovonty-live thousand quarters have
beon shipped at this price.

Havana, Tex., Fob. 27.—The commissioners'
court adjourned on tho 17 instant. Mr. G. W.
Miller of Havana was appointed to fill tho
vacancy caused by the suddou death of Com-
missioner P. Collens.
An appropriation was inndo to pay for seed
corn distributed among the pooror class of
farmers by the Hon. County Judge Win. P.
Doughorty.
The tax collector is having uphill work in
getting the last year's taxes, on account of
hard times and scarcity of money. Tho pros-
pects of raising a crop of corn and cotton this
year and the great probabilities of a railroad
down the Rio Grande valley from Laredo to
Brownsville, are instilling new iifo into the
hearts of every resident of this frontier.
The News correspondent has conversed
with many land owners in this vicinity; all
express their willingness to give tho right of
way across their lands and timber for tics to
any company which will build tho road.
