There was a very fair Monday run of cattle today, and the variety of grades represented was a little better than usual at this time in the week. The trade here felt the influence of favorable reports from other places, and with a good demand from outside sources the market oined active and higher, so far as -the fat steers were concerned. Dealers differed a little in their estimate of the market, and generally it was believed that sales of the good steers were about 10c higher than the close of last week. There was not quite as much competition In the market for female butcher cattle as thTe was for steers, and they did not show any quotable Improvement la prices over those current at the clos of last week, but in all cases sales were at least steady.

The receipt of hogs were larger than a week ago and nearly three times as laree as a year ago. The quality generally was fully eo.ual to the standard of th past few day?, and possibly a shade better than last Saturday. 0 far as the heavy trade wer concerned. The market opened with all buyers In the field, and with rather favorable rerrts from other places athere was considerable animation In tho bidding. r.d with good competition between packers an hipper the offerings were soon changing ham's at unevenly higher prices. There was some difference of opinion as to the extent of the advance, but In a gen eral way sales appeared to be about lOo hlghr than tha close of last week. It is probable that some did not sell to exceed ic higher, and others were rosslbly lie higher than Saturday. It did not take long to exhaust the small euoply. and the last sales were steady at the early advance In prices. Sales ranged from $6.70 to $7.50 for inferior light nogs to the best heavies.

The opinions were formed largely by reports from other places, and it was the general expression that pales were fully as high as those current at the close of lat week, and a tatisiactory market is expected for the near future.

3IOXETAHY SITUATION A!f IXCRKAS1XG IXCUIJLS OX THE .MARKET. A Fe Tf Spasmodic Spot of Strength Have Xo General Effect Fentllns Sew Issues of Securities. NEW YORK. March 2. The closing rally In stocks on Saturday had some slight in fluence on the dealings to-day, but the ad vance was Insignificant - and the market soon relapsed Into dullness and neglect and a slow downward movement. The decrease in net earnings for January reported by St. Tn til o on imfo vnra ViIä 1 n fl 1 lPTIPP. A thougfi it was sought to explain it by the high nrice for fuel which had to be paid. Amalgamated Copper showed some strength owing to the further advance in the metal both here and In London, and In Pennsyl vania there was some resistance to the de pression. Late In the day again the unex plained advance in Manhattan induced some recovery in prices, but the closing was unsteady and very dull. The monev situation continues to weigh on the market, and the professional traders made the varying rumors regarding the chance of the Aldfich financial bill the nominal motive of their operations. The weight of the day's rumors Inclined against the bill's chances, and- this was assigned as a cause of the declines. There was no money to loan on time in Wall street at less than 5 per cent, to-day, and many lenders were not willing to accommodate any but their regular customers. The ruling rate for call money was Z per cent. Some relief was afforded by large sales of bankers' bills in the exchange market in the process of borrowing foreign funds. Discounts were easier in London, and there was reported an expectation that the bank rate would be reduced there this week. But there was a susrtrestive break of 1 centime in the ster ling rate of Paris, which may mean that cheaper money in London will lead to with drawals of French capital. The New York banks have already lost $2,136,000 to the sutVrlrfnv. and that institution ,U0haJ Kill W VAMp - - - had a credit balance in the clearing house this morning or 44,3u, snowing me contimioH HoHno nf fund thprp.

Ilnssia's Impressive Warning. Brooklyn Eagle. The official organ of the Russian government warns the Macedonian revolutionists to go slow. It points out that the Sultan has accepted the plan of reform Imposed upon him by Ru??ia and Austria and that time must be allowed to prove whether or not the promises of the Porte are to be fulfilled In good faith. Furthermore;, the pa per cautions the revolutionary committee to abstain from violence, because an immediate uprising against Turkish authority will receive no countenance in St. Peters burg or Vienna. There now seems to be lit tle doubt that the opportune concessions made by the Sultan have preserved the peace of Europe for the time being. It is scarcely conceivable, after the warning giv en to them, that the Macedonian malcon tents will persist in defying the wishes of the governments without whose assistance any battle with the Turk would be a crimi nal sacrifice of life and a useless expenditure of effort. The Sultan has started off well by taking steps to officer the Mace donian gendarmerie with foreigners of Christian birth and he should at least have an opportunity to show whether he Is sin cere in his announced intention to -behave better in the future. The Russian warning to Macedonia comes in good time.

There was only a light trade in wheat. but the market was firm throughout with the exception of an easier, feeling at the start. Influenced by lower cables and favorable weather, which caused May to open down HtiVic at 77VsC to 77Uc The strength in corn and a larger decrease in the visible supply than had been expected soon created a firmer feeling, and May sold up to 775ic.

Dry Goods nnd Groceries Move Freely Poultry Contlnnes High, but Eggs Are WeakGrain Market Easier. The cheerful sun and milder temperature Imparted new life to trade yesterday. The dry goods houses had one of the best days of the present year, the tendency to an ad vance in prices having the effect of inducing retail dealers to stock up quite freely. Orders brought in by traveling salesmen last week and mall orders were plentiful. Buyers also came in In goodly numbers. Wholesale groceries also showed an In crease in business yesterday. Since the reduction in quotations for canned toma toes the demand has increased somewhaL Wholesale prices have got down to a point which allows retailers to sell tomatoes at 10 cents a can with pro lit, and the interest is turning from corn to tomatoes. Other Hns of canned goods are moving fairly well at unchanged prices. On Commission row it was a very fair Monday. Local re tall grocers stocked up, market men got ready for Tuesday's market, and outside retail merchants were quite liberal buyers. Produce merchants are fairly busy. Fresh eggs are becoming more plentiful, and hold ers of htorage vggs are. gradually giving way under these conditions. Poultry main tains the firm position it has held for weeks, and there are no indications of an early break. Cheese moves freely at un usually high figures. Butter, with the milder weather, is coming in more freely, but prices on choice Ftock are well held. The provision market carries a strong tone and is fairly active. In other lines there is nothing calling for special note. Indianapolis Grain .Market. The local grain market was Jn much the same condition as on Saturday. Receipts were not large, neither were prices very firm. If receipts Increase to any great ex tent, lower figures may be looked for on corn and hay.
