THE COFFEE MAEKET. The market on the Coffee Exchange showed a better tone and a fair degree of activity. Opening prices were steady at unchanged to 5 points advance and sales were 3,250 bags on the call. Trade was moderate after the call but the buying was encouraged by the firmness of the cables which showed an 'advance of point at both Hamburg and Havre. The Brazilian markets were steady with exchange up to owing to better financial conditions in Brazil.

Exchange has been hardening of late, and this has been exerting a steadying influence on the outside markets. Brazilian receipts were 9,000 bags only and stocks increased only 3,000 bags. The estimates on the growing Rio crop are quite favorable, with figures pointing to an out turn in excess of the 3,000,000 bags estimated for the present crop. Coffee was inactive' in the afternoon.

A FAIR EXPORT TRADE DONE. Considerable Uneasiness Was Felt Rear ding the March Delivery of Wheat. There was a little spurt In wheat at the opening, due to some anxiety to cover in the March delivery, but as soon as these orders were executed May wheat, which sold early at 7S, fell back to 78. Trade was small on the decline. The nervousness in the March delivery is mainly responsible for the local fluctuations, although the fear of crop damage is an Influence not to be ignored.

The deliveries on March did not materallze this morning as expected, and there waB a feeling of expectancy in the air. It was claimed that there would be an effort to break the March delivery by turning out some wheat on that future, in hopes of buying it back at less money. Cables were quiet and there were few foreign orders on hand. The expectation of increasing shipments from the Argentine and the good shipments from Australia, the first, in several years of any moment, tend to confirm the foreign buyers in their waiting position. The uncertainties, however, of the crop developments, both here and on the other side, are the important influences affecting trade from day to day, as it is extremely difficult to tell about the condition of the growing wheat.

The report from Missouri making the condition of wheat 74 against 76 last year tended to disturb short selleTS, although thare is an increase in area of 7 per cent. Receipts were large in the Northwest, about doubling last year. Stocks of grain and flour at Liverpool follow: March 1, iv heat, centals 523,000 Corn, centals 23,00 Flour, sacks. 2S0 134,00:) This etatement includes Feb. 1.

The reserves with the visible supply are placed at 266,000, 000 bushels, which after deducting consumption and seed of 125,000,000 bushels, leaves 141,000,000 I'shels for exports and reserves for July. The reserves of corn are placed at bushels against 795,000,000 bushels last year, and oats bushels against 313,000,000 bushels last year. The condition of the growing wheat crop is placed at 90.2 per cent, against 88.7 last year, with the area 15 per cent increased, making the total 30,324,900 acres. Wheat was heavy at midday on Thoman's report and lack of outside interest. Deliveries of wheat here in March developed toward noon, amounting to about 300,000 bushels, part of it being delivered in offices.

Wheat was very dull in the afternoon with prices about steady. Exporters took 120,000 bushels with rumors of as much more. Total March deliveries were 600,000 bushels. The trade in corn wae moderately active, prices showing a fairly steady undertone during the morning. There was a slight reaction from the start on some local realizing at the West, but prices promptly recovered from the opening quotations which were only'sllght ly changed from last night.

There "le oome falling off in Western receipts, bearing out the claims that the country movement is light. The exports to the seaboard have shown a large increase this week, but the fresh export buying is irregular. To day's exports were 1,157,000, making 3,013,000 In three days. Oorn was quiet late but fairly steady. Shippers took 250,000 Bushels.

Speculative interest in the future market of oats is very narrow and business shows little feature either in cash or futures. Cash oats are very firm. Oats closed quiet but steady. Hog products were dull and weaker on the large live hog movement and a decline of 5 to 10 cents in live hog prices at Chicago. Packers have been sellers of product recently and the demand has been scattered.

Chicago receipts of hogs for the past month were 666,197, shipments 169,528. Provisions were dull in the afternoon but ahout steady. CASH MARKETS AT NEW YORK. 7, COO Donohue, y. to Miltord Streeter i unJ Orlswold Denlson, firm Stteeter Denlson.

The inouest in the death of Charles Ftoh lln and Harry Morgan, the two employes of the Nordllnger Charlton Fireworks Company of Graniteville. wfto were killed by theexploslon in the composition house of the company last Saturday, will be held this evening in Port Richmond by Coroner John Seaver. The case is exciting great interest around the island and some of the testimony before the coroner's jury promised to be sensational, as the company officials and the friends of the dead men are making counter charges of negligence. The' fgrmer allege that Prohlin and Morgan broke a company rule in entering the composition house at the same time, and that a probable cause of the explosion was a cigarette that one of the men was seen smoking just before the accident.

The friends of the jwo men claim that thin cannot, be proven and that the company should have provided two houses, one for the mixing and one for dis tributim; the composition. A regular meeting of the Woman's Club of Richmond County will be held this afternoon in the First National Bank Building of New Brighton, which will be known tie; day." Mrs. William Tod Helmuth. president of the Now York State Federation of Women's Clubs, will speak, and there will be other state officers present. The Choral Society of the Cniropenn Club of Brooklyn will render some choice music.

The borough board of local improvements held a short meeting at President. Cromwell'; oflice at St. George, yesterday morning. There was a large attendance, as it wan expected that Mr. Cromwell's resolution deprecating the attack of Tammnnv on the Manhattan Elevated Railway in ordering the South Ferry terminals removed would be brougnt up again.

It was tabled at the request of the Tammany majority of the board last week. A number of prominent citizens wished to see the resolution brought to a vote in order to get the Democtatlc Aldermen and the Councilmen on the record regarding this blow at the island's transportation facilities. Mr. Cromwell refused to call up his resolution, however, and nothing was done. NEW YORK SOLDIERS RETURN.

San Francisco, March 1 Among passengers from Honolulu cn the steamer Australia were forty four soldiers from the Kansas and New York regiments, six of whom had been discharged. The others returned on account of illness, At Present a Jail Inmate, She Sas an Extensive Collection of Costly Dresses. (Special to the Eagle.) Long Island City, L. March 1 Hilda Petersen was busy in her apartment in the Queens County Jail this morning inspecting and re arranglng her extensive wardrobe, most of which has been in the custody of Matron Wells ot the jail, since the owner was sent to Matteawan Insane Asylum. When Miss Petersen was brought back to the Jail here the first thing she asked about was her two trunks of clothing.

She had sent for some of the ar tides while at the asylum, but 'the greater portion of them were packed away in trunks awaiting her disposition. The wardrobe consists of at least a dozen silk dresses, made up in expensive style. Several of the dresses are evening dresses. There are also patent leather Oxford ties with French heels, ball room slippers, lace handkerchiefs, elaborately painted fans and any number of silk stockings of varied colors. The outfit is such as a society woman would delight in owning and wearing.

It was never learned from the prisoner why or how she accumulated such an expensive wardrobe. While awaiting trial in the jail she inspected the different garments frequently and took the best care of them. It is expected any day that orders will be received to take the prisoner before Justice Dickey for her final arraignment before being set at liberty again. The woman never refers to the crime with which she was charged and never makes reference to any of those prominent in her prosecution. ILLEGAL PENSION CHECKS.

An Old Man Charged With. Having Forged Them. James S.

The Kentucky Distilleries and Warehouse Company will to day take over all the properties of its constituent companies and begin actual business operations. At Colorado Springs mining stocks closed yesterday as follows: Alamo, Anaconda, 54; Anchoria, 96; Argentum, 33; Battle, 344; Oolumbine, 17; Consolidated, 10; Elkton, 102; El Paso, 22; Findley, 19; Garfield, 13; Gibson, 2 Golden Fleece, 38; Golden King, 94; Gold Coin, 187; Isabella, 111; Independence, 61; Jackpot, '40 Jefferson, Matoa, 43; Moon Anchor, 117; Pharmacist, Portland, 187; Rawlings, 43; Rosa, 27; Union, 21; Vindicator, 90; 'Work, 20. Almost vety description of cotton goods has advanced and the tendency of prices Is still toward a higher level. The raw material no longer Influences the situation as the demand for goods exceeds the supply. The advances have been strictly on merit.

Regular print cloths at Fall River are firm at 2c. Fancy and staple prints have shared in the general strength. "Woolen goods, however, continue to hang fire and the tone of that market is barely steady. The improved condition of the boot and shoe trade Is reflected in Che Increasing orders for leather that are being received from manufacturers. As of late, jobbers are only moderate Burchasers, but a fair amount of leather is moving on old contracts.

The export Inquiry shows improvements. Hides are in fairly good demand, but offerings are light. European sugar cables are firmer. March beets are at 0s April beets are 9s 9d. The American Sugar Refining Company reports a slight delay in the shipment of five pound bags, but otherwise the market is unchanged.

The conditions now prevailing In the leather trade are said by experts in that business to be very much more favorable than for a long time. The advance in leather has changed the sentiment in the "Swamp" from depression to buoyancy. It is reported that the United States Leather Company has, eince January 1, made In profits more than double the amount of the $336,000 deficit of last year. Even those who have never been over friendly to the company admit that It is undoubtedly doing as well, if not better, than ever before in its history, and much of the late buying of the stock is credited to people In the leather district. It is now reported that the company ia likely an extra dividend on the preferred stock In July, as the conditions of the company and its earnings will warrant such a distribution of profits.

The management, it is said, was fortunate in securing a large amount of hides while they were from one to three cents per pound less than they are now. and the subsequent advance in the price of leather made from these cheap hides is the basis of its present large profits.
