SATURDAY MARKET FIGURES Activity In Oorn Oauses Wheat to Be Neglected. VOLUME OF BUSINESS SMALL. Both the Bulls and Bears Find En- couragement in the Prospects of & General Railrond Strike ~Live Stoc CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Cmieaco, March 3. pecial Telegram to the Bee.|—Wheat ruled a little lo: to-day than yesterday, but with no decided weak- mess at any time. The market suffered most from neglect. The greater activity of corn withdrew the attention of local traders from wheat, and outside speculators show no signs of having become deeply interested in it as yet. The grain movement table, showing the shipments to be double the amount of receipts, was decidedly bullish, and colder weather might have been expected to help that side, but otherwise the news and circum- stancos of the market were not important either way. Public cables gave foreign mar. kets as steady, but noted no improvements in prices, and some of the private cables were #aid 10 be less favorable. Among the most liberal sellers wasan exporting house. Hutch- inson bought some wheat carly, but later sold much more tban he bought. The volume of busincss was not large. The prospect of an extension of the railroad strike is viewed quite differently by the bulls and bears, and for a wonder so far both secem to be able to extract encouragement from the same circumstances. On one side & general “‘tie up” of western roads is ex- pected to kill business, imparr confidence and Pproduce a panicky feeling which shall send prices down on the run. On the other hand, such a condition of tho roads is reckoned by the bulls to mean a cessation of all grain re- ceipts, while shipments could continue and rapidly cut down the stocks in store. In the corn market at least, the bulls look for higher prices as a result, and they do not ove tp%m could be much of & decling in eat with corn sharply advancing. May ‘wheat opened at 803{¢c, sold up to 803c im- mediately, and then gradually sagged to £0% @80}4c, advanced to B01{@805¢c, fell to 80%c, advancoed to 801/ @305 again, and declined 10 803 @80}¢c, which was the closing price. June wheat opened at_81c, sold up to 8l@ 81Xc, fell to 8037c, and closed at 803{@S0%c. he corn market showed the effect of & 100 rapid advance yesterday. The most promi- nent buyer yesterday was a seller to-day, and Hutchinson sold a very large quantity. The advance gained was a temptation to large scalpers to scll for the turn, and the pressure was strong enough to break the price about c, yet there was strong buying, for heavy offerings were taken, and the demand was enough still to ring about a recovery f o part of the loss. May corn opened at b2%{c, gradually fell to b3'¢c, advanced to 825¢c, fell to 5314c, advanced to 5214, then de- med to 521 @b2o, again advanced to 52 ¢ and they closed at 53%ec. June corn opened ;: 523gc, sold down to 51%c, and closed at . ‘here was a very hight speculative trade in oats, with nothing but the smallest fluctua- tions. May opened at 3?{0, soid down to 815 and closed at 813.c. June oats opened ard closed at 815c and the only other price was 81%@315c. July oats were nominally 80}c, and August oats sold at 28c. n the provision trade there was alittle more stir than on many of the former days of the week. The easier turn in the grain encour- aged the old bear element to enter the market and around the opening prices were de- ressed by comparatively free offerings. ter there was a better showing of strength, et ut adjournment pork showed a decline of 0c for the day, and lard and short ribs of 5. Trading, while the bears were sclling, was quite fair, but after the first hour, when they generally withdrew, business was spasmodic and slow. May, as usual, was the pivotal delivery. It sold for Amrk from $14.073¢ early down to $13.923%, lard from 8$7.75 down to $7.673¢ and short ribs from $7.32}§ down to 25" For May, pork closed at $13.95 bid, d at $7.70 and short ribs at £.25 bid. March, which was quiet, ranged 15¢ under May for pork, 10c under for lard and 15¢ xn ler for short ribs. June pork and short ibs were quoted at 7}¢c and June lard 5c higher than May, Year pork sold at $12.571§ @12.60 and year lard at $7.40. CHICAGO LIV ESTOCII Cnicago, March 3.—[Special Telegram to the Bee.]—CatTLE—Buyers and salesmen ‘both reported rather a slow trade considering the small number on sale, yet about every- thing useful went over the scales; but the market dia not show as much activity, even for number, as yesterday, and was gencrally quoted easier, and possibly ashade lower than at the close yesterday. Values, how- ever, are fully 25c higher than a week ago on good and useful steers.

THE JOBBING TRADE IMPROVING; ‘Wall Street Brokers Fecl Very Blue— No Material Change in Market Quotations During the Weok ~Hog Products Limp. Satisfactory Business Outlook. Cnicaco, March 8.—[Special Telegram to the Ber.| —The week under review has been destitute of marked changes in finance or trade. Money is less freely called for than usual at the advent of spring, because there is less grain and provisions to carry than at corresponding dates in recent years. The accumulation of grain st other points, that largely depend upon Chicago bankers for funds, are also much smaller than at this date in former years. The result is seen in & comparatively cheap loan market considered with a year ago. Desirable customers are being freely supplied at 5}4@0}§ per cent on call and sixty days’ loans, based on gilt edged names and collaterals, and 7@s per cent for good to just fair signatures. In some mstances as low as 5 per cent has been accepted in fancy security from large borrowers. New York exchange has ruled quiet at 25c discount pe~ $1,000 to par between banks, Foreign exchange was firm and higher, due to the small exports of pro- duce and merchandise and the large imports of foreign goods. Shippers' sixty days' docu mentary sterling bills on London were quoted at $4.814@4.843,. The New York stock market has been dull, and the average stock broker in Wall street is said to be the bluest mdividual in the United States. There is, in fact, nothing to induce the public to buy. Hence few outsiders are now trading. The jobbing trade is steadily improving, and although there is an absence of rush, the distribution of dry goods during the week was liberal. Clothing, boots and shoes, hardware, staple and miscellaneous grains, and other leading lines of goods sold freely, although trade in & large section of country traversed by the Burlington road was pre vented from buying by the strike of engin- eers and firemen. Merchants report col- lections fair for the season, and but for the uneasy feeling regarding the labor situation, the businegs outlook might be regarded as fairly satisfactory. No very marked changes haye occurred in the markets during the week as compared with the closing quotations noted in our last weekly review, with the exception of corn, h showed some independence and de- veloped considerable strength, In fact, all markets after a temporary weakness regained their individual declines, but there was no special changes, with the one excep- tion of corn, to note. As compared with the closing quotations in the last weckly review, wheat closed ifc higher, corn 1%c higher, oats 3¢ higher, mess pork 21gc higher, lard 75¢ lower and short rib sides 5¢ lower. Trading has been moder- ate in wheat, rather activein corn, fair in oats and only moderate in hog products. The influences brought to light have not been of a character to materially affect speculation in most of the markets one or the other, hence operators have been inclined to wait for some new features on which to base s ulation. Crop news have not formed any portant feature. Thus far advices have been more or less conflicting, which is usually the case at this season of the year. Warm and Bprmf!»liln‘ weather is awaited to decide the actual condition of the growing wheat. European advices have quoted a quiet feel- ing for wheat and lower prices for corn, Home markets ruled slightly lower but closed rather strong. On both wheat and corn the movement has been smaller. Receipts of wheat in the northwest have fallen off, which, it was claimed, was partly due to fresh snow blockades. In the interior wheat districts the movement is light. At Chicago the receipts of grain have been small and this was partially attributed to the strike of the engineers and firemen on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, which has moved very little freight this week. Shipping demand has been very fair for all grains, with fair milling demand for lower grades of wheat. Considerable corn and some wheat has been bought to go to store, most of which, it is claimed, is taken by elévator proprietors. The export movement of grain from the seaboard has been only moderate. Buyers and sellers of flour are getting closer together 1n prices, and a better export move- ment of flour may develop. Hog products ruled quiet and without any special features. Pl Ay Two Famous Pirates. St. Nicholas: In the early years of this century, when there were slave in- surrections in the West Indies, and wars for independence in Mexico, Central America and South America, many peo- ple were driven from their homes in these regions and came to New Orleans as aplace of refuge. Among them were two brothers, Pierre and Jean Lafitte. They were Frenchmen born in Bayonne, but they had lived for several yearsin the West Indies. Both were tall, hand- some men, but Jean had the stronger character. Fora time they carried on the trade of blacksmithing. Their shop stood on St. Philip street, between Bourbon and Dauphin, It was pulled down only a few years ago. Bold and enterprising in disposition and of com- manding ‘Froacnce, the two brothers were fitted by nature to be leaders of men. Jean, especially, was of an ap- pearance so striking that strangers, meeting him on the streets, turned for a second look at him. At first, they were only the agents in New Orleans for smugglers who brought merchandise and slaves into the bays and bayous along the Louisiana coast; ut it was not long before they became the chiefs of the most powerful organiz- ation of lawless men that ever existed in this country. In 1810, they made their headquarters on the islands at the entrance of the Bay of Barataria, where they builta fort and village. They obtained from the republic of Carthagena, in South America, then at war with Spain for its independence. letters of marque which authorize them to capture Spainish vessels wher- ever found. They fitted out and armed fast-sailing schooners, which were the terror of the gulf. According to the common beliel at the time, these vessels were pirates, which did not hesitate to pick up any merchant-ship they could overhaul, no matter what flag it might carry; but the Lafittes denied these re- ports, and insisted that they were hon- orable privateersmen, only attacking the ships of Spain, as, under the laws of nations, their letters of marque gave them the right to do. That they were smugglers, violating the laws of the United States, they did not deny. In vain did Governor Claiborne issue proclamations, commanding the people of Louisiana to arrest the Lafittes and their men. Jean and Pierre came often to New Orleans, and read the proclama- tions posted on the walls of the old gov- ernment building, on the Place aux Armes. Once there was an effort made to arrest Jean as he was passing through a bayou with a boat-load of smuggled goods. A party of custom-house officers attacked him from the shore. There was a fight, and Jean and his crew beat off their assailants, Afterward, Jean sent a polite letter to the captain oi the custom-house force, 1n which he said: *I am a man of peace, and do not want to fight; but I would )mvudyou to know that I am at all times rea ¥ to lose iy life rather thun my goods.” The receipts of the benefit bull fight for Mazzantini, the Spanish champion, now in the. capital at Mexico, were 815,624, Next to a Sullivan fight a bull the thing for the gate money, AN ENGLISHSATIRIST.
