After midday the market became more settled in its movements, but as the afternoon grew a heavy tone overspread the dealing, and prices moved downward, the market closing heavy, with prices on both fides of the line, as compared with the final "sales of yesterday. Flint & Pierre Marquette preferred sold at 45, against 55 the last preceding sale. Chicago Ga3" lost 7n on the dav on sales mainly by room traders.

A cheerful sun yesterday warming up the temperature some brought with It a better trade than on Monday. Grocers report trade highly satisfactory. Sugars are more steady and coffees firm. Stocks of dried faults and canned goods are seldom as low in the latter part of March. It is stated that never before has there been such a .quantity of California fruits handled in this market as In the last eight months. On Commission row more was doing yesterday, still It fell below the volume of any d.iy last week. Everything in the vegetable line was easier. The cold weather of the last few days checked the shipments of eggs, which has resulted in a slightly firmer tone to the market. Receipts of poultry are large for March. The provision packing .houses are doing a good deal in a Jobbing way, but the- letting doA-n of price- from week to week tend3 to deter retail men from stocking up many uaya uhe.iJ.

He said: "Af champion It is my place to name the battleground. I have named America, Jackson has signed for America and that ought to end it. The man from whom I won the title of champion would not fight Jackson or any other negro. He drew ths dor line. Against the wishes of my friends I agreed to fight Jackson. I believe a champion to bo a champion must fight all comers. For that reason I signed to-fight Jnckson. I' have evrything to lose and nothing to gain. Put as champion, 1 Insist on the rights of a champion. I have th? right to name the battle ground and the time. I am not forced to go out of my own country to fight. Americans believe in America first., last and all the time, and I am an American. When It is shown beyond the shadow of a doubt that I cannot fight in my native land then I will agree to go to some other country. Until that time America must stand as the battle ground.

SHORTS NOT SCARED

Chicago Traders Do Not Believe Growing Wheat Injured. The Leading Cereal Started Easier and Lower and Closed at 3-83 Decliue Pork Advanced. CHICAGO, March 27. The frost damage to wheat was again the principal factor in that market, but its probable extent was so belittled that prices at the close were about sc lower than on the previous afternoon. Com was firm; oats and provisions strong. The first gained V&c, oats c and pork and lard 17 2C each.Wheat started easy at about c below yesterday's closing prices. The sams belief In the power of a heavy frost to kill wheat in its growing stage, as expressed by a majority of the traders yesterday, was again and more emphatically asserted this morning. Discussion on the subject continued to be quite general during the dull Intervals in the session; but the only conclusion arrived at by both parties was that it would be necessary to wait two or three weeks for confirmation of either side of the argument. Dispatches from all points of the winter wheat-growing country were numerout, but were no mora in accord as to damage or the reverse than were the opinions of the operators on the Beard of Trade. The receipts here and in the Northwest were rather larger than on the day before, and it appeared that this country and Canada are still supplying the importing countries with more than one-half of all they are willing to take. A report from St. Louis to the effect that 2uu.w bushels of wheat had been worked for export from ther was the first matter that created a 'slight revival of confidence in this market. The closing cables brought somewhat higner quotations from the continent, with Liverrool about as before, but wheat decllncu to 5Sa4'q5$'2 its previous lowest figure, closing at 5S1ic The corn market was Inclined to be weak early in the session on account of the same feelinc prevailing in wheat at that time. It became firmer later on some reported sales for export and the estimate of only 100 carloads for to-morrow. The receipts to-day were 207 cars. The Liverpool market was o.uoted firmer at about ;d advance, and the amount reported oif ocean passage was 720.000 bushel3 smaller than a week ago. The export sales alluded to were two small cargoes of No. 3 corn at 2c In store under May price of No. 2. CarringtonHannah were the sellers and Irwin-Green the buyers, and the shipments are to go via the St. Lawrence river to Kingston. There was a good business transacted in oats. The crowd in general was offering freely and the shorts, headed by Patton Brothers, bought quite freely. Champlln was also a good buyer. Trading was only active at times, but taken altogether considerable stuff changed hands. Prices were firmer, opening about steady and gradually advancing, closing at the top prices of the day. The stocks of contract oats In store showed a slight Increase this week, but were nevertheless still very light, and this had considerable to do with influencing shorts -to buy. The provision market ruled strong at imf)roved prices. The position of the deal in ard was regarded as a very bullish feature of the present situation, and the comparatively small stock of meats and the good consumptive demand at present prices were pointed to as another. Estimated receipts for to-morrow are: Wheat, 22 cars; corn, 100 cars; oats, 114 cars: hags. 23.000 head. Leading futures ranged aa follows: Open- High- Low- ClosArticles. Ing. est. est.

Tit ADC IX GCVERAL Quotations nt St. LonI, Philadelphia, Baltimore nml Other Point. MINNEAPOLIS, March 27. Wheat Receipts to-day were 164 cars; shipments. 21 cars. The market opened at 5Sc for May and 59'c for July. The market was comparatively steady all day, but weakened near the close on a belief that the lower temperature had done less damage to winter wheat than it had been presumed as likely. The closing prices were SSc for March. 58f:5blic for May, 50-'ic for July and 594c for September. On track: No. 1 hard. C2Uc; No. 1 Northern. 60Uc; No. 2 Northern, SX'4c. The demand for cash wheat was fair, and about the same amount of inquiry was noted for track wheat to arrive as yesterday. Reports from the interior indicated farmers' deliveries of about 10,000 bushels a day in country elevators. Local mills were making apparently about 27.0CO barrels of flour for the day. using something like 120.000 bushels of wheat for the day. Amount ground with the amount shipped jout would necessarily exceed the receipts by some 20.000 bushels for the twenty-four hours. The demand for flour continued steady, and prices were practically unchanged. Patents quoted at $3.253.50; bakers' at $1.70'?"2. Sales of flour nearly equaled the production for the day. The Market Record says the production of flour for the week ended Saturday was 172.429 barrels, against 1S5.028 barrels the previous week. The direct export shipments of flour from Minneapolis were 61,776 barrels, against 4S.436 barrels shipped the previous week. This is the largest export of flour from Minneapolis this year. The per cent, of exports to production is also larger than any previous week in 1S94, and compares quite favorably with the proportion of exports during the preceding year. If the foreign Hour markets continue to Justify equal proportionate shipments from this time forward, there will be stronger hopes for a better flour demand in this country, as It will relieve the domestic trade from considerable of the burden that has oppressed it 'for sev eral months, but most millers are of the ojinlon that the activity In exports may be of a temporary character.

Two California Politicians Implicated in Another's Assassination. FRESNO, Cab, March 20. Some testimony was given in the trial of R. S. Heath here to-day which created a sensation. Heath Is on trial for the murder of Louis B. McWhirter, which occurred over a year ago. On the night of the murder McWhlrter wat aroused from sleep by a peculiar noise In his back yard. He went out to investigate and was shot by an assassin. McWhlrter was a prominent lawyer and politician. Suspicion was immediately drawn to McWhlrter's political enemies. It was claimed also that McWhlrter had committed suicide, and the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company contested the payment of the life insurance on that ground, but the case wat decided against the company. The detective who worked up the mysterious case gathered enough evidence to warrant the arrest of Heath. Heath belongs to a prominent family, and is the son of General Heath. He waa tried several months ago, the Jury disagreeing. His second trial has now proceeded several weeks. One of the strongest points in the case against him was the fact that several witnesses had Heen him in a buggy with a companion driving rapidly out cf town shortly after the hour In which McWhlrter met bl3 death. To-day Mrs. Palmer, an estimable lady residing near this city, was brought into court upon her bed, she being in the last stages of consumption. Mrs. Palmer did not appear as a witness in the previous trial. The witness stated that on the morning of the McWhlrter murder she was bringing her husband into Fresno to take a train which leaves here at 2:30 a. m. She met, a short distance from the town, a quickly-driven bdj?gy containing two persons, one of whom waa Reed B. Terry; the other she did -not reo ognlze. Just before meeting the buggy some blazing rags had been thrown out of it and, as she passed, she noticed that the dry grass by the roadside was being Ignited. She stopped1, alighted, stamped out the flames and picked up the balf-consumel rag3, one of them proving to be a mask and tho other a handkerchief upon which was the name R. S. Heath. The handkerchief and mask she raved and produced as evidence. Her testimony created great excitement in court, the prisoner being visibly agitated. Reel Terry, whom this evidence implicates in the murder 5s well known throughout the State. He is a prominent lawyer and was a leader of the iolltical faction opposed to McWhlrter. Terry Is a nephew of Judge Terry, who Mas killed by Marshal Nagle as he was about to assault Ji.'ftloe Field ct the United States Supreme Court, several yeirs ago. He ran for Congrei-s -lathe Sixth district on the Hemccratic ticket but was defeated. A Word for Girl liable. New York Commercial Advertiser.

It was a woman editor who answered: "Girl babies are at a premium. Their sex furnishes but a very small fraction of tho pauiers and criminals of the country and much less than half the idiots. They are quite as likely to be carrying off the honors at the uniwr eitles and going into partnership, with their fathers In business."
