nearly, all points. This market made no
changes and closed quiet with no sales.
Liverpool futures oponol irregular and ruled
easy at a small decline, and cioaed quiet but
steady and about 1 point under yesterday's

lower, ruled ntea<ly near the opening prices, a.nd
closed steady and about 1 points lower all
round.

Ciiicaoo, 111., April 18.—About all that
could be said of tho market to-day is that it was
dull and - featurelees. Trading was almost
wholly local, and had it not been for the opera-
tions of one or two large traders, there would
have been next to nothing doing. The opening
was stronger and prices wero advanced 9§c
above yesterday's closing, but operators thought
the advauce was artifl?ial and for the purpose
of selling on. Prices then declined %c, recov-
ered slightly and closed ^c lower than yester-
day. Corn was quiet and inactive during the
eritiro s< Bsion. Trading was limited and fluctua-
tions narrow. Tho feeling developed was steady
and values did not vary from yesterday.
Trading was fairly active in mess pork and
prices ruled irregular. Early the feeling was
rather weak and prices declined 10&12^c; later
the market showed more strength aud prices
rallied 15gjl7^c. Outside figures wero not main-
tained and the markot ciosod quiet. A moder-
ate trade was reported in lard, chiefly on local
account.

New York, April 18.—[Speciall—In the dry
goods market there was a better feeling In view
of tho near approach of another season, the
advance in cotton, tho favorabJi aspect of the
wheat crop and an increased inquiry for fall
goods. Business with Jobbers and agents con-
tinued on a conservative scale in seasonable
fabrics, with somo activity in now articles
brought out, whilo stocks are low all around
and prices unusually steady for this period.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
New York, April 18.—Before the holiday there
is no business disposition to enter into new con-
tracts and most traders closed out their old
one3, which served to make the business of the
day up to the average of late. The news of the
day, however, was quite favorable in the main,
but the first thing being a reduction of the
Bank of England's discount from 3 to 2kj per
cent. This was followed by the defeat or the
bill before the legislature of Minnesota to re-
duce rates on grain in that state, and the cover-
ing of shorts by traders gave the market a firm
tone.
The opening figures were in most cases h&H
per cent higher than last evening'a closing
prices, and although the business done was con-
fined to a smaller number of stooks than usual,
almost everything traded in moved up a small
fraction in early trading. The general list
reacted again slightly in the last hour, but the
close was firm, while dull and generally at the
best prices of the day. Railroad bonds again
showed a moderate degree of animation. Gov-
ernment bonds dull but strong. State bonds
dull and steady.

NEW Y03K COTTON MARKET.
New York, April 13.—[Special]—Foreign ad-
vices upon cotton this morning wero decidedly
of a disappointin3 character to those who pur-
chased cotton upon yesterday's rapid advance,
and our market under the inficcr.ceof this feel-
ing ocened easy, with sellers at 4 and 5 points
decline, and prices continued to fall until quo-
tations wore made at 10 points under last even-
ing's close. As this decline was largely the re-
sult of room traders liquidating their purchases
of yesterday and puttiug oat some short cotton
to balance the account, the mgrtet sgoa showed
strength and rallied at the close, which wal
qiji^t tyd, steady at a loss of about 4 point3 froifi
The feeling in the market remains bulltsh
and but very few operators are now on the short
fh'.e. The holders of spot cotton are in a posi-
tion to prevent any decline of more than a tem-
porary nature, and a recognition of this fact by
tho traders induces caution and an lndisnosi-
tion to remain short cf the market. The Bom-
bay movement shows an increase in receipts
this week over Inst year, and thy shipments
aro 310,000 in excess to the same time.

Generalitles.
Marble Falls, Tex., April 18.—Galves-
ton will have to look to her laurels as a
watering place, for which she now stands
pre-eminent if not alone in Texas. There
are other places besides Galveston which
have sea breezes, but they lack other attrac-
tions. Here, however, ia a combination of
mountain scenery, flowery plains, brooks,
birds and beautiful forests that fills every
visitor with delight.
Messrs. Holloway and Seitnaker of Bur-
net and parties in this place have bought a
steamboat for pleasure excursions on the
lake, and local mechanics have formed a
syndicate to build commodious bath-houses,
so that there will be few attractions lack-
ing whon tho three or four miles of railroad
remaining to be finished shall be complet-
ed, and visitors can have easy access to
this most charming spot.
Several new enterprises have sprung up
in the last few days, induced by the cer-
tainty of speedy railroad communication.
A large pressed brick machine is in opera-
tion, which has already a contract for
bricks to build a wool warehouse and sev-
eral stores.
A livery stable and skating rink have just
been completed and put in operation.
The operatives in the shoo factory are re-
turning on the promise of work next week,
and altogether the town is shaking itself
together preparatory to going off on a
boom. Among the blessings enumerated
by the expectant business men is that the
railroad will bring The Galveston Daily
News. ^
THE CRUISER CHICAGO
Goes Into Commission at the llrooklyn Navy
Yard—Gum All on Hoard,
New York, April 18.—[Speciall—The big
steel cruiser Chicago went into commission
at the Brooklyn navy yard yesterday at 11.30
a. m. Tho order came by wira from the
navy department, and although not unex-
pected was a sudden one. Before the com-
mission pennant was flying from the main
truck 200 blue jackets had been marched
aboard from tho receiving ship, bags and
hammocks in hand. For the first time the
Chicago is out of the hands of the navy
yard bosses aud the machine shop foremen,
and under the control of the regular navy
officers. It was a pleasing sight to witness
the activity aboard the big shin yestorday
afternoon. All the guns of the Chicago are
on board aud mounted except the big 8-inch
rifles. These latter pieces, which are ten in
number, havo not yet been mounted on
their carriages. There is even some talk of
placing 0-inch rifles in their stead, because
tho carriages aro not yet ready to receive
their mounts.
PRESIDENT STANDS PAT
On tho Civil Service Keform Plank—Re-
fuses to Grant Postponement of Itulcd.
New York, April 18.—A Washington
spccial to the Herald says: The president
made a declaration yesterday which indi-
cates that he has not forgotten the civil
service reform plauk in the national repub-
lican platform. A delegation consisting of
several members of congress waited on him
to ask a further postponement of the appli-
cation of tho civil servico rules to the rail-
way mail service. Tho president replied
that it could not be done. The first post-
ponement, from March 15 to May 1, lie said,
had been made because of the inability of
the civil service commission to prepare
eligible lists by the earlier date, hut there
was no excuse for any further postpone
ment and none would be made. "V.To
should be disregarding - pledges made to the
country," said General Harrison, "if we did
that."

The Bryan Creamery Gtarted.
BRTAN, Tex., April 18.—The Bryan cream-
ery began operations yestorday, and as a re-
sult of the first churning havo 100 pounds
of beautiful butter. A large number of
ladies aud gentlemen were present to wit-
ness the work, and they wero highly please.1
with the way in which it was done. The
advocates of the creamery claim that tho
churning is much more thorough than the
ordinary process; that it thoroughly cleans
the milk of butter, and therefore will make
more butter from a given amount of cream
ban the ordinary household churn. Every-
thing indicates tiiat this enterprise is a suc-
cess, and great praise is duo tho progressivo
citizens who inaugurated the scheme.
