CHICAGO , Mnrch 16.-Tho 'exceptionally
favorable wpnther caused the most general
liquidation In the whent market today that
haH taken place for some time. July wheat
nt one time allowed a break of nearly 2
rents. The doling decline was yifKJc cov
eting by shorts Using responsible for the
reaction. Corn nnd oats * suffered from the
liquidation In wheat and closed % c nnd He
lower , respectively. Provisions were slow
4tml showed llttlo change nt the close.
Wheat was very weak nt the opening.
The bearish sentiment among traders on
last night's curb , and the continuance of
remarkably favorable weather prevailing
over the fcntlre winter wlient section , wus
reflected fully. Opening prices for July
ranged from S5o to tKVtc , ngnlnst n closing
of 85c yesterday. Kor u. moment or two
the market hesitated. The opening decline
In Itself was sulllclont to Induce covering In
a moderate degree and the market re
covered a fraction , nelllng1 nt S3',4c. That
was the extent of the bullishness. Offer
ings noon began to coino In from all direc
tions , hauler * apparently being discouraged
at the excellent crop prospects' . The de
cline nlso brought In stop-loss orders , und
the pressure was greatly Increased by prom
inent St. l.oulH operators offerings from
that source iK-Ing exceptionally heavy. The
market fell pretty steadily to Sic. becoming
tinlto nervous at around the bottom. A
reaction then ensued. Professional wiorts
and many early sellers camp In to cover
lines showing good profits , and the market
gradually assumed a degree of steadiness.
lly noon priced had recovered to RT c. Dur
ing this time Stay was steadily held by the
1/eIter Interests at $1.M and that price In
fact wab > maintained throughout the es-
plon , although one or two sales were made
ut Jl.03',4. Hesldes the line Weather , which
was the overshadowing Influence , there wits
n good deal of benrlshncss In the routine
news. Northwest receipts were 201 cars ,
against 331 cam last week and 231 a year !
ugo. Chicago receipts amounted to 111
cars' ' , " 17 of which were of contract grade.
The total addition to the contract stocks
today amounted to about CS.CCO bu. . fifty
uirlo.ulu nnd 4MO bu. coming from private
houses. L.lverK | > ol cables showed weakness
nil day. Clearances were 111.lit at 178,000 S3U.
In the nfternoon the mnrket again declined.
Shorts had by that time been filled up , and
when the market lost this supporting In
fluence prices sigR > d at once. This brougnt
Rollers into the market ngaln In Increased
numbers. July from MViic , which point was
reached for u sliort tlmo , was pounded
' down to 84c , and was bringing SI'/itfS4c ' ?
s ut the dote.
sl
l Corn suffered fiom liquidation nnd short
nelllng , nnd prices declined sharply In con
sequence , fine weather nnd the wheat >
weakness were the factors. Selling1 was
quite general all day , nnd but llttlo sup
port was elven. A fairly good cash busi
ness was done on the decline. Mny ranged
from 29c to 29&c ! , and closed % c lower at
Liquidation In oats wnv quite ns free nnd
general as was the case In corn , nnd the
mnrkct was weak nil day. Wheat nnd corn
wore the Influences. A goDd deal of long
property wns disposed of. scalpers and pro
fessional nhorts also pressing the market.
There was some rally from the bottom et.on
covering , CnsJj demand was good at the
decline. May ranged from 2Cifi ' 4c to 2o %
021'c , and closed ' ,4c lower at 2S'.AKr > Ac.
I'rovlslana wonIn the main
steady , con
sidering the weakness In grain. This was i n
factor early , there being some sympathetic
selling , nnd prices declined somewhat.
Soiling wns nt no tlmo heavy , nnd moderntu
selling by shorts on the decline caused ilea
recovery , the market ruling steady within
n. narrow range to the close. At the close

NEW YOIIIC. March 1G. The cartv strength
'In today's ' Block market \in n repetition of
yesterday's movement , but prices resisted the
latu pressure for a decline , and as a consequence
quence show substantial gains nil through the
Hat. The bulls bad the advantage of higher
prices nn the Inndon exchanse , nnd nlthouph
prices ' Immediately rose buoyantly above the
Ixmdon parity , there was conspicuous b-i > lnK
for Uindon ns late na business wai done In the
Hrltlsh capital. Ix > ndon buying was certainly
due to a feeling nt that center that there la n
more promWnff prospect na to nffalrg betveon
the UnlU-d States nnd Spain. This fcellnp was
shown ' also In a quite buoyant tone of Spanish
4D.The which row I'l In J/ondon and V , in Parti.
Them was undoubtedly prevalent feeling In New- ?
York nlso that the outlook waa more peaceful.
and such of the day's developments as had amore
moro threatcnlns aspect were ignored. Either
the Spanish government's semi-official announce : -
ment of Its opinion on the maintenance by oht
United States of the fleet In Florida watera or
the news that offlclal attention had been called
towot this opinion by the Spanish government
would ha\e been sufficient U > demoralize tie
market a week ago. Hut the underlying con
viction In Wnll street was that the authorities
at Washington have come to InJulga n hope of
a peaceful settlement. The continued preparations
tlon for defense , and such Incidents as those
of today , do not -wholly dissipate tills convic
tlon Nevertheless - operations are -not on Iche
large scale pending a definite decision of the
Cuban problem. The supply of stocks was not
large today and prices moved upward without
heavy transactions. A part of the buying was
attributed to large bull Interests , but much nf
It was i nlso supposed to be covering of short
selllni } which caused the decline ycsterd y. Tlin
bears were evidently averse to renewing their
attempt today nnd the higher level of price ?
wan not seriously Impaired. The hope of a EIIC-
cessful adlustment of the traffic rate contro
versy In the northwest was quite an Important
factor In the advance here nnd In London for
American * . The local nnd Industrial pejlnUio *
led today * advance , but the grangers , r.orth-
wcsterns nnd International stocks In the rail
way list were also conrplcuously strong. Heavy
additional engagements of gold for Import today !
were made without affecting the steadiness of
the exchange market below the ( told Import
point. The total gold movement from Europe
has now reached 124.000.000. nnd It shows no
sign of subsiding In spite of the growing tight
ness : of money In Ixsndon and European center. .
The accumulated stocks of exchange are sup
posed to have been somewhat reduced , but there
Is undoubtedly a largo supply still remaining. I
and the continued heavy outward movement IT.nt
merchandise Is constantly bringing new bills
Into the market , .which are sold against cold
Imports as fast as they come forward. Bonds
were strong throughout In sympathy with
stocks. Total sales. $1.180,000. United Btnt

vanced H bid today.
The Evening Post's Ixindon financial calilo.
gram says. There was a general Improvement
In the I stock markets here today , mainly due to
the bears scrambling In. There was little fresh
buying. The feature was the sharp rise In
Spanish 4s , Americans nnd Canadian stocks.
Americans being benefited by the Impression
that Spain and the United States would do their
utmost to settle matters on diplomatic lines.
Tht market was favorably affected by hopeful
views of a Ff > edy termination of the Canadian
Pacific rate war. The rinse was a trifle under
the best , except for Canadians and Grand
Trunks , which were booming In the street at
top price * . Mines joined In the general rally ,
nml nil foreigners nnd South American rtool :
were better , l > elnir led by a rise of 2 per cent In
Spanish 4s on the olilelal announcement that
the April coupon will bo paid. Gold I * - .till
much < wanted for New York , but It Is bellwnl
inden good quarters that If nolltlcn Improve 'h. ;
deinind for gold may ease. The distinctly
easier ! tone In today's money market hire 1 due
to the I announcement that on April 4 the govern
ment will repay upward of JC3.0 ,000 tieasury

CATTIjK So far as numbers were con
cerned tliera was not much change In the
cattle receipts from yesterday. The total
arrivals today numbered 3,597 bead as
against 3,720 yesterday , 2,801 a week ago and
1,491 two weeks ago. Thu most of the cattle
were corn-fed and the average quality was
a decided Improvement ns compared with
'
yesterday's offerings. It looks as If the
recent bulge In the market was having a
stimulating effect upon shipments nnd no
doubt feeders who have been holding back
their cattle for more satisfactory prices are
commencing to let go of them. If feeders
will only send In such cuttle ns are ripe
and fully matured , there Is not much danuer
of breaking the market. The only thing to
be avoided IH a rush of half-fat and un
desirable cattle which liave lind Just enough
corn to make them undesirable for feeders ,
but not enough to make them good
beeves.
Heef Steers There
were probably
over
a. hundred loads of corn-fed steers on Mile
this morning , nnd while that was liberal
for this market. It did not seem to be any I
too large to meet the requirements of the *
demand. Both packers nnd shippers were
on deck and the market on good cattle , at
least , opened early and fully steady. at3
high as $3.20 was paid for one bunch of
15S4 pound cattle , but they were choice.
With liberal offerings of good cattle It was
only natural that common Bluff Hhould be
neglected to some extent , or at least left
until the good cattle were all sold.
Butchers' Stock Cows and heifers were
In liberal supply , but the demand seemed to
be good and the market w s fairly active , so
that the offerings were all taken in good
season. Values were Just about steady as
compared with yesterday.
Stock Cattle Light stackers and feeders
were very scares today , but there was rsa
great plenty of half-fat cattle that were
only goad enough for feeders. Under the In.
fluence of a good country demand values
remained just about steady nnd the mar
ket was reasonably active so that the most
of the offerings changed hands early In the
forenoon. Representative sales :
