NEW YORK, March 11.—Wall street senti- ment experienced a sense of relief when the reports of the early London markets showed that support was accorded the kaffir mar-- ket there and that very little damage had resulted elsewhere from the shock of the capture by the Boers of General Meth- uen. The price of British consols ylelded only a shade, which was probably the most accu- rate index of the real gravity of the event In its influence upon British financial affairs, The revised report of the output of gold from the ‘Witwatersrand for February is probably of more real importance at this stage of the war, and its showing may help to explain the indif- ference of the London market to the Methuen dizaster. According to this report, by the | Transvaal hamber of Mines, 81,405 ounces of gold were taken out during February, com- pared with 70,340 in January; 53,597 in Decem- ‘ber, and no more than 39,095 in November. This rate of the resumption of the gold output means much to the foreign financial world, and particularly to New York. The early strength at London led to some covering by shorts in this market, who put out some short lines |late vesterday in the hope of covering at a | profit_ on London selling this morning. There was renewed movement in some of the minor specialties, which have been the favorites for some time past. The news of the deposit at the Sub-Treasury of $1,250,000 in gold for tele- graphic transfer to San Francisco, in connec- tion with_the traction merger the; newed attention to our own domestic money situation. The selling movement which fol- lowed was continued irregularly throughout the day. The earlier gains were generally wiped out by the first selling on this news, but there were some eubsequent recoveries and the mar- | ket closed heavy in tone and without anima- tion. _ Without counting to-day’s transfer to San Francisco, the market's loss to the Sub- Treasury since the last bank statement, count- ing the Saturday’s shipments of gold, for which payment was made to that institution, amounts 1o $4,581.000. Forelgn exchange rates, which | were ‘easy yesterday, steadied to-day and the | question of additional gold exports is thereby reopened. Of the day’s special movements that of Colorado & Bouthern stocks continued nota- ble. Manhattan was firm on the report of large | earnings. Unconfirmed rumors were still heard of a cousolidation of Mexican rallroad interests, | Chicago Terminal stocks were advanced on re- ports of buying in the interest of Baltimore & Ohio. The Wisconsin Central stocks were ac- tive and strong, without specific explanation. ‘The strength in People’s Gas was due to re- ports of measures to contest the 75-cent gas ordinance in Chicago. There were a few other 1 wide movements of less importance and which { were not fully maintained. Bonds were rather dull and irregular.

Wheat traders also had an eye on corn, which was expected to take a big jump. When it was seen that corn bulls | received the news of the shortest corn reserve on record with apathy wheat longs lost hope. Then came recurrent advices of rain in Okla- homa and Texas, but the professionals forsook the bull side, plenty of grain coming out for sale and the market turned bearish. The late Liverpool cables were easier and Parls was down. The coarse grains also lost some of their early show of strength and May wheat, which opened ljc up to unchanged 4t T7%c to T7ic, dropped to T6%c, with® occasional reactions. The close was weak, %@34c lower for May, at 161 @T6%c. Although corn prices held in the maln better than yesterday's close, there was disappoint- ment over the fact that the crowd did not take to the bullish view of the Government report and support the market. May closed rather firm, 4% @%c higher, at 62c. Oats showed little effect from the action of the other pit and trade was dull. May closed firm, Ke up, at 44%c. Provisions were dull, but slightly higher on the improved hog market. There were no fea- tures of importance. May pork closed 10c up, lard and ribs’each 23c up. The leading futures ranged as follows: Open. Articies— Hizh. Low. Close.

The cash demand for wheat was limited and speculation was moderate. The Government report, which appears in the first column, was considered rather bullish, though it had little effect. Prime, an authority, took exactly the opposite view’ from that of Snow, published yesterday, and reported the winter crop inm good condition as a rule. The Southwest and commission houses dumped a good deal of their wheat. Minneapolis reported a good cash demand, with millers the chief buyers. Brad- street’s reported stocks as follows: East of the Rockies, a decrease of 1,525,000 bushels; Europe and afloat, an increase of 500,000; net decrease, 1,025,000 bushels, In this market futures were rather weaker, while shipping descriptions were unchanged.

Offerings in this market are considerably | larger than of late, but sales are few. At the rame time the market is not very soft, for there is still a good interfor demand for ship- ment. The next steamer for Australia_will take out a large line of some hundreds of tons, and Mexico and the Southwest are still in the market for supplles. Futures, however, are lower, as will be seen, and this indicates an_easier market ahead.

Butter, Cheese and Eég:. Butter is on the verge of another decline, ac- cording to the views of dealers. Receipts are ample for all needs, and buyers, expecting them to increase steadily from now om, are pur- chasing only from hand to mouth to fill im- mediate wants. During the recent stormy pe- riod the Humboldt farmers could not get their milk to the creameries on account of the ewollen streams, but they can do so now, and from this time on a marked increase in the output up there s expected. Nearby sources are also increasing their production, so thers will be plenty of Butter before long. There is no further change in Cheese. The market is dull. Egge are steadfer. The price has now got down to a point where the public can buy the goods freely, and the demand has materially improved since the decline. Again, the clear weather enables dealers to coldstore their sur- plus, which cleans a good many Eggs off the floors, so_the market is in_better shape all around. Dealers are buying freely in the coun- try for cold-storage speculation.
