While a drying north wind blew over the northern half there was a rain of .03 to .43 inches in the San Joaquin, .10 to .18 along the southern coast and .50 in Southern Cali- fornia. This confused operators on 'Change, but the tendency in values of cereals was uj ward and Hay recovered the ground lost two or three days ago. | THE PUBLIC DEBT.

ARE GOOD FOR SOME TIME YET TO COME. the annual Wool circular Wollner the following is taken “Fall Wool—Frll wools began to arrive freely in September and found a ready market. A good many mountain wools were bought up in the country at from 9 to 12 cents, or on a scoured basls, from 40 to 45 cents. The market was very lively until about the 1st of Novem- ber, but since then ver- little wool has been selling, except what local woolen mills have bought, who are all actively employed or Klon- dike goods, which requires a great deal of wool as mostly heavy weight goods and blank- PROSPECTS From of Jacob ets are made for that trade. All the woolen mills on_the coast are actively employed and bave orders which will keep them busy for five or six months to come. “Eastern and European markets—In the h the exception of a week In Decem- | : market since the 1st of November last, has been very quiet. The sales from January 1 to February 28 show a falling off of an aggre- ate of 4) per cent of the sales for the same eriod last year, although the millls are con- suming twice as much as they did last year for the same two months. In January and Feb- sales_amounted to 52,141,700 his vear to 32,489,180 pounds. ' If is the fact that the mills are using the purchases they made in the early part of last year. The mills are all workin; on orders from three to six months ahead, an ruary, 189 pounds, U accounted for by Ty, at a good profit, even at the prices wool sold at in October last, when the highest prices were ) r wool since May 1, 1883. At pres- ent the tern markets are all reported strong, with very littie selling, but with pros- pects of a lively business in the near future. urope is reported very strong for all fine long ple wools, with good demand and advanc- ing_prices. P, cts—By personal observation in Eu- spe rope and this country, and from reliable information from the principal wool markets and manufacturing centers, 1 adduce that the wool, especially the fine long_staple is very scarce. That class of wool be wanted in Europe to such an ex- tent that America will not be able to import it except at a very great cost. “In this country the stock of forelgn and domestic wool in the hands of mills and deal- ers was estimated at three hundred miilion pounds on January 1, 18%. But with all the mills running, as they are now, and using over twelve million pounds of wool per week, it cannot take long to use up the wool. And with the diminishing clips in Australla owing to the drought and the loss of sheep and re- duced luction fn South America and the re is every prospect that wool will a good market at fair prices, espec- long staple fine wools There will be more difference in the prices of long staple and short staple, defective and than there has ever been, owing as n and style of goods wanted. Vith all the vicissitudes that sheep men have contend with, wool raising in the United ates will be a most profitable ome time to come.” business for il M '11 GF O Clear'® Portly Cloudy & Cloudy ® Rain® Snow SHADED'AREAS SHOW PRECIPITATION DURING PAST.i2 HOURS EXPLANATION.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK, March 10.—To-day’s stock mar- ket showed a further contraction in the vol- | ume ‘of dealings and an apathetic tone to the trading, which indicated the prevailing dispo- ftion to refrain from speculative activity un- til conditions become more settled. There ls continued uneasiness regarding the Cuban situ- ation, which finds its reflection in the large | offerings of securities on any substantial ad- | vance. It is the evident belief also that the present conditions, 8o far as they are known, do mot warrant a further violent decline in prices. There was a strenuous attempt in the early Gealings to-day to mark up prices, with the purpose of pinching small bear traders, and also for the purpose of realizing at the higher level. This maneuver, which proved so successful yesterday and Tuesday, brought such abundant offerings that It was soon aban- doned, and the bears retained control of the | field for the rest of the day. A small amount | of arbitrage buying for London account nided: in the early resistance to the decline and the strength of special stocks tended to the same end. The unsettled and uneasy tone,on foreign exchanges, especially the weakness 0f Spanish s in London and Paris, helped materially ta defeat the efforts to advance prices. The con- tinued influx of gold falled to have any effect in sustaining the market. Neither did it save the foreign exchange market from falling an additional fraction. There was a perceptibly easler tone in the rates for call money and loans at the close were made at 133 per cent. Lenders are still loath to make time loans.. A large part of to-day’s selling was attributed to ‘Washington. There {s no doubt that the bears employed the usual channels for Washington selling for the sake of effect, and they accom- panied it to-day by the circulation of sensa- tional rumors regarding developments in the Cuban situation. Because of last week's Wash- ington Stlhng, previous to the publication of the news of General Lee's requested recall, the market is extremely sensitive to any demon- | stration from that quarter. To-day’'s net de- clines are about & point or over all through the | list_and effectually wipe out the disturbance of_yesterday and thie day before. Bonds were weak throughout the d: pathy with stocks, the speculative i: ing the decline. Total sales, $1.665,000. United States new 4s and 4's coupon advanced 1 and the 5's 1.

NEW YORK, March 10.—The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says: The .stock here remained quiet to-day during the progress of the settlement. There were no fresh political scares, but the markets were weakened by the fears of the settlement to- morrow. Lagge losses have been made In Grand Trunk, Americans, mines and Brazils. The latter concern. Paris as well. Several firms are in difficulties, but I learn that. the | largest will be helped over, and probably one or wo small - failures will be announced. Americans were lifelessly dull for the rea- sons stated. Gold_is in_strong demand for New York at s 16%d. Eagles will probably leave the Bank of England to-morrow. Details of the gold- movement for the week show the ship- ment of 215,000 pounds to South America, the sale of 50,000 pounds in American gold_ coins, the receipts of 114,000 pounds from Australia, and the purchase of 10,000 pounds in French coins and of 52,000 pounds in Japanese coins.

CHICAGO, March 10.—Dullness as marked as at any time during the holiday seasons marked the opening In wheat. There was .good deal of uncertainty regarding the figures on farm reserves in the forthcoming Government crop report and traders as a consequence Were un- willing to go deeper either way than they were already. This feeling, in fact, was marked throughout the session, and the market at no time exhibited any real degree of activity. The start was easier. Liverpool cables were disap- pointing, showing about %d decline. News from Washington regarding the Spanish complica- tions were also of a more disturbing character and another big addition to the stocks of con- tract wheat at Chicago was reported. July opened &l 90%@%%Hc and May %c lower at §1 041, For nmearly half an nour prices kept Within a %c radius. Then, helped by an im- provement in corn which took placs about that Uime and also by the predictions of freezing weather over the West and Southwest, prices fmproved a trifle. It was but temporary, how- ever. Though no selling pressure of ‘conse- quenice developed there was for the rest of the Session almost an entire absence of buying or- ders for July, and that delivery slowly but surely gravitated toward a lower level. May for some time held fairly firm, traders being apparently afraid to sell that delivery, but the weakness in July finally encouraged them and offerings became free enough to cause a drop to §1 04 July declined to 90%c and closed at %0%@%0%c. May wound up at 31 0. Corn was under the influence of the Govern- ment crop report. Wet weather probably af- fected early buying a little. May closed c higher. There was only a small scalping trade in oats, with prices keeping within %c range. The dullness was due to the Government re- port. May closed Ye lower. Provisions were rather inactive, but fairly steady. At the close May pork was 2c lower, May lard'a shade higher and May ribs a shade ower. The leading futures ranged as follows: Open. High. Low.
