For the nr.t time in several days London came higher this morning, and this, with the increased disposition to buy manifested in the room, cave tho horts" a groat deal of uneasiness, thontrh the buttle was not given up without a Ktrrtgglc The regular "bearish" advices were forthcoming trom Chicago, and the pessimistic assertions took ade range. On the strength of thee advices the bears" made a determined attack upon the grangers and some of the trunk linen, and considerable irapiesslon was made upon Burlington, Rock Island, Big Fonr and C. d, C. & I., the last two being especially weak for a short time. The bullish feeling, however, tgan to crop out in many different portions of the list, and as no "lone stock" was shaken out of importance the "shorts' went in to cover and helped along the general up ard movement, which before the close assumed large proportions on a comparatively limitedmarket. The-Milwaukee, Lake bhore & Western stocks were the tlrst to show marked strength, but were soon followed by Manhattan. The Oregon stocks, and especially Navigation, joined the procession, the expected guarantee of 6 per cent, dividend Inducing purchasers, while the general list slowly advanced, though there wa no set-back throughout the remainder of the day. Later the weak utoclc of the forenoon rallied and the feature of th day was tho sharp recovery of Big Four, which, after selling down to 1012, rose to 1074 ex. ditkifud of 1 percent. First price were generally slightly higher as compared with last night's tignre but there was no vim to the eieciilation. and the "bears" noon came to the front a usual, and Burlington, Atchison and "ew England showed some weakness. Big Four and C, C, C. fc I. afterward became the six-rial points of attack ami the former materially declined, but reached its lowest point lefore noou.

Trading in wheat was below the average of the past few days, and a quiet and dull feeling prevailed. The market ruled rather steady, and fluctuations were confined within narrow limits, the entire range being JflC, and closed about 4C higher than yesterday. There was no outside business to speak of, and only limited local trading. The deliveries of wheat on March contracts were light. There was a lack of outside news. Corn ruled quiet and inactive early In the session, but fairly tctive toward the cloee. Trading was quite large, but contlned to transactions between local operators. The feeling generally was firm, offerings being only moderate, while a very fair demand existed. The market opened at yesterday's closing prices, declined $i4 advanced 2C ruled steady and closed JsTpVo higher than yesterday. Oats were quiet and steady, with no marked tendency. There were no deliveries on March contracts. A fairly active trading was reported in hog product, but the feeling was somewhat un?ettled. The weakness in tne hog market bad some effect early In the day, and sales of the speculative articles were niado at lower prices. The deliveries on March contract were limited, and the prospect of the report of stock on Land showing only a slight increase had a strengthening lnflner.ee later, and rrices rallied again.

NEW YORK, March l.-R. O. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: Traders who have been waiting through n belated season for tho expected winter trade find that it does not come, and spring has arrived; hence there are on hand large stocks of unsold winter goods, which account for the tardiness of collections in many quarters, and for the general eenso of disappointment. At fully half tho Interior points which report this week, there is noted a fairly good trade or some improvement. Piifsburg observed an advance of 25 cents in so:me kinds of pig-iron, and a better inquiry for manufactured in many forms. Greater strength la also observed at Cleveland. Philadelphia notes most cautious dealing in dry goods.a rirmer market for leather, aud a 6low market, with tardy collections, for drugs and chemicals. As to collections, Omaha alone reports improvement. The money markets are everywhere amply supplied for legitimate business. The manufacturers are buying more freely of leather and for hemlock prices aro H:o lower. Rubber is tlrm at 040 lor Para tine. The anthracite coal trade la stagnant The output thus far this year ha9 been 4,302,319 tons, against 4,753,682 last year. The accumulation of coal at Tort Richmond is represented as greater than at anyothcr time for thirty year. In the minor metals, a severe attack on tho copper syndicate at London caused a tall not followed hre. and tin is a little stronger at 21Hc, with lead tinner at 3.70c per pound. It is thought at Philadelphia that the iron market is firmer. The market for bar iron Is very unsatisfactory and scanty, and no improvement in rails is seen. At New York No. 2 foundry continues to be offered at very low figures, and a pressure to sell wire rods Is noticed, but Bales of 18,000 tons of rails make that market firmer, and it Is stated that tho allot will bo readjusted April 1. Wheat is H;o lower, at 1)7. Corn Is unchanged, at 4 lo, and oata o stronger, at 30'?ic, Pork is steady. Lard Is a shade lower, and hogs 40 higher. Lower prices are noted for butter and cheese, but oil is 840 stronger, at 91 e. Coffee is 80 higher, at lSc. Cotton is 1-1U higher, at 10.19c for middling uplands. Figures indicato that the excess of imports over exports for February may bo $7,000,000 or more, against over $10,000,000 last year. Foreign exchange remains ateady. During the past week the stock market has virtually done nothing, and prices are. on the whole, unchanged. The treasury has put out $1,900,000 more cash than it has taken in during the week, and owing to the large pension payments, probably closes the month with a lower cash balance and a larger volume of currency in circulation than at the end of January. Meanwhile the general course of prices for commodities has tended upward slightly for the past week. The business failures number 232, as compared with 270 last week and 289 the week previous. For the corresponding week of last year, the figures were 2 14. TRAD 12 IX GENERAL. Quotations at St. Louis, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati and Other Points. ST. LOUIS, March 1.

Dad Roads and Heavy Ilaln Cheeking Trade Firm Prices on All Lines of Groceries. Indianapolis, March 1. ' Conditions to-day were decidedly unfavorable to trade, and it Is feared that for some time there will be no improvement, owing to the bad country roads as a result of the heavy rains and frost coming out of the ground. In prices to-day there wero no important changes. The advance in coffees in the last three days, which amounts to 1 jht cent, per pound on all descriptions, is firmly held, and a further advance would not bo a surprise. Sugars, teas and molasses rule stronger. The New YorJr Bulletin says regard ing the strong tone to coffees, that the one great difficulty 'With the market for Brazil grades

seems to be found in the absence of apparent interest anion r actual consumers and a consequent slowlsh tone to the local deal that is in a measure deceptive. Consumption may bo somewhat curtilled by ruling cost, probably it Is in tome sections, and. furthermore, buyers are in pretty much nil cases ndhering closely to the hand-to-mouth policy, but on tho direct deliveries from rcoent arrivals and the occasional additional purchases of Invoices afloat or to be shlpied interior distributors are steadily handling a great deal of coflee, and what remains is in sutliciently strong bands to prevent any unpleasant effort to realize thereon. Holders, in fact, rely upon tho anticipated shortage of the next crop to bring them their advautage, and of course that also remains as tho leading bull factor on the speculative marF.et. The provision market is unsettled, and prices on all hog products arc rather weak, although considerable is doing in a Jobbing way. The iron market generally rules firm at the recently revised quotations,

out naus are wcaK owing to the large stocks be ing carried. The hardware men are doing more business, while tho dealers in tinners' supplies report trade rather quiet. In the produce mar ket there is a good deal of activity. Eggs are hardly as firm with tho milder weather and Increasing receipts, and the same remark will apply to butter, while poultry rules firm at quota tions. Appies ana potatoes are both nrm. ana selling quite freely. Cabbage and oniona are In largo supply and weak in price. Choice orange are firmer, and lemons aro meeting with better demand. GRAIN.
