CniCAflo , 111 , March 2i This was u ilay the
* horts revelled In. Tlio discouraged longs In
wheat also sold freely. Nonr the close , how
ever , Itidaflnltu war tulk tind colder wc.itlior
expected for tomorrow rohiiblllt-.itcil the bulls
ton great extent mid the closs for May was
but ' 40 under that of lust nulit. Nearly every
phase nf tlio wheat situation hud nbotrlsh
color I tin In tlio morning and a miinnor of the
most stubborn holders lost their backbone.
Apparently the cereal was utterly helpless 111
the pit. The Liverpool market was roportoJ
tn bo Hd lower mid dull ut tho'doallno.
The signal service loported u precipitation
of moisture either In the slmpa of snow or
nlcot over almost the entire country , The
tciuporaturo was ulso hlulior from the Kooky
mountains tc the On f , Kecelpts at Mlnuoau-
ullsund.Dultilh woro'Hears , compirjd with
7.Von ) Tuesday of last week , and foreigner *
were saltt to bo free sollor.i at the seaboard.
There was only ono llttlo speck of bullish sta
tistical lnformaton ! near the opening the
amount on occult p.iss.igo showing u decrease
of 748,000 bn , but oven that point was almost
obliterated by an Increase of GOK.OOO bu. fortliu
week In Kngllsh sunuilcs In oxccss of tholr
requirement. The llcrlln market applied a
kick behind to the rolrcuttng prices hero when
tirlvnlo cablet quoted : iS ( marks lower and
1'nilsguvo u itttlu htiovo with u 0 centimes
decline. The long wheat coinlnt out ami tlio
chorl Aclllng combined made auood deal nioru
Ihnn the usual uproar , llotweun the linlond-
IIIBIHKI the hammering , prices at once took
the downgrade.
1'nrdrldgo WHS the leader In the raining ,
thoumi coveting not a lilt o on the breaks ,
Indeed nearly all the Imyitiv of the day nan
by shorts , thuro being llttlo If any purchases
for long nccoitnt. Thuro wcro but u few crop

lower than last ulglit at Kl'ic , Htoudlml Itself
us a total decline of l ! o , recovered and coso.l :

Tlio I'orn market did not participate In the
bearish feeling which characterized wheat.
ItccclplH were heavy , but not un to the esti
mates , and diminished receipts from now on
nro looked for. Thuro was talk of
dcfcm-d planting and prolonged div
feeding. Tim estimate for tomorrow was only
440 cars duo In Chicago , against about
1,000 today. Trading was largely of thosculD-
Ing order and there WHS aomo free Short sell
ing and realizing during the last hour. May
opened utlW'iu. about last night's price , out

yesterday. Falling off to 271c , tlio market
fully locovcrcd and during the last hour was
very steady nt28c , the closing UK u res.
lion pio'lucts wcro stronger , mainly from
the fact that this receipts of llvo hogs full
10,000 head below the estlmalo and that prices

ot buying demand from cither home or foreign
sources. In fact , Now York reportctl foreign
houses us nellers and the market broke to
h2ic ! under free selling hv the crowd. Some
investment buying on u scale down absorbed
the offerings and the lute rally to KHJo
was caused by shorts covering on
newspaper war talk from Vienna. The final
closing was ? a lower than yesterday , us late
private cables contained no war news nor
Migcostlon ot strength tn tlio continental
markets. The feeling , however , Is guliilng
ground that , a rally In the market Is duo anil

The business today has been largely local.
Llquld.itlon for the present appears to bn
over. The buying , though not of the moat
Kubstunlhil kind , linn boon very good and wo
look upon the market im safe and likely to do
sonio better. Uf course much will dei/ond
on foreign advices and demand. The
present price , say Ktc. Is low and
under ordinances circumstances at this early
season of year should make good prollts. Wo
have about passed the danger of damage to
the growing winter crop. The general rains
wo have had was Just what was required tn
demonstrate what damage Han been done by
lute freezing weather , Now comes the sowing
of the spring crop. Auv delay In It would
easily cronto speculative burying around
the present prices. Corn opened ut I ho
closing price of yesterday , VHVjo for May. Hue-
tuated from this lolW e , the closing at i iu ®
384C. 1'ho .oarly buying was by u few 10-
celvers whs hud sold about 'Jo over the pres
ent prlco , said to bo against country holdings ,
this caused some other buying and kept the
market ilriu. Whllo wo see nothing to buy It
on It may ho prudent to uko profits ou such u
decline. The only feature to outs Is ueHknesi.
Provisions steady , temllnu upwards. Wo look

operators had tholr turn In a narrow stock
market yesterday ; mill operators enjoyed a
season of roiallatlon today. The movement
was an oxcolk-nt Illustration of the pres
ent market efforts In the forenoon to
buy a few hundred shares of I < ako
Shorn and a few thousand shares of
Heading , both of which appeared to' ' to
( - oiiinno orders , and sent tliu ontlro board
room Into a fever and started a furious ad
vance In the prlco of both stookH. The pur
chases of Lake Shore were as dllllcult to ex
plain , as they have been for a month past ;
thosu In Heading were undoubtedly short cov
ering. The "rumor" was promptly clrcul ted
that Now Jersey's governor had signed the
"duad bill. " The "rumor" was pure Inven
tion , but was a natural member In the series
of guesses and theories by which Wn.l treot

PLASTERS
The only safe way for purchasers is to insist on having the
genuine article , and not allow themselves to be swindled by
having plasters said to be "just as good , " or "containing
superior ingredients , " imposed upon them. These arc only
tricks to sell inferior goods that no more compare with
AJ.I.COCK'S POROUS PLASTERS than copper does with gold. .
One trial of Allcock's Porous Plasters will convince
the most skeptical of their merits.
The eminent HENRY A. MOTT , Jr. , Ph.D. , F.C.S. , late
Government Chemist , certifies :
( "My investigation of ALLCOCK'S POROUS PLASTER shows it to
.contain valuable and essential ingredients not found in any other
( piaster , and I find it superior to and more efficient than any oilier
plaster. "
Beware of imitations , and do not be deceived by misrepre
sentation. Ask for ALLCOCK'S , and let no solicitation or expla
nation induce you to accept a substitute.
