COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Directors Decline to Make a Marginal Price on May Wheat , DECISION CAUSES TEMPORARY ADVANCE Xliiiililiillon In Corn nnil Unt * Pro- UIK-C llcelltiFH lit TlioNO 'Mur- lint 1'rov l lon Clone HlKlivr. CftlCAGO , March 17-The refusal of the Tio.ud of Tiailo illrcclora to fix a marginal lirlco on May whom wan the main factor In thnt market today. Though the advance this canned vvns lost about the middle of the session , pi Ices recovered again , the July option closing Uo higher than yesterday. Mny showed nn equal advance. Liquida tion of May contracts In corn and oats made thoc market * weak , decline * of U ® % c nnd > , ( tC icspectlvely resulting. Provisions were llrrn all day nnd closed 7V&Q1&C higher. ' A good deal of strength was shown at the opening In wheat , although trading "was not heavy. The nctbn of the hoard of directors last night In refuging to llx a marginal price on Mny contracts nnd the fact thnt testimony taken by the board showed ship ping values to bo more than the bears cared to ndmlt , earned a halt In the liquidation nnd short selling , which has made the mar ket BO vve.ik of late , and though It did not result In very much Increase- the buying demand , yet the fnlllng oft In the selling pressure vvas so mnrked as to cause nn Im mediate ndv.mcu In prices. Hesldes the di rectors' action , some of the routine news vvns of a bullish nature. Killing frosts were reported from the west and cold weather In the northwest and Minneapolis advices paid the receipts of wheat from now on would probably bo mostly of low grades. Northwest tecelpts were not so heavy , Min neapolis nnd Duluth reporting 2.11 cars , ngnlnwt 211 last week and 2C5 a year ago , Chicago receipts weie 117 cars. Of this num ber forty-seven were contract , but notwith standing this largo propoitlon , the contract supplies herci were not so large , as private houses contributed but twelve cars and 20,000 bu. No. 1 northern , n total of about Sj.OOO bu. Liverpool In view of the decline hero yesterday showed an unexpected de- Free of steadiness. Opening trades In July were on nn ndvanco of 'Ac being bid. One or two sales were made as low as &tc. This caused a disposition among the Hcalp- crs to cover up their short lints. There was some dllllculty In doing this , which brought some of the professional shorts Into the market to cover on an advance wnlch carried July up to S5c. Then the market turned weak. The continuance of the very favor.iblo weather west vvns an Important factor all week. Prices began to decline under realizing by many of the early buyers. The demand fiom shorta ceawd alimst altogether nnd very little support was given until prices hnd de V clined to SI'Jc. At around SlUc teller's brokers gave July siippoit. This caused t quick hull In the decline and started a buy Ing movement again , under whlci the mar ket rapidly Improved. Thn stiength was continued to the close. July advancing U and- closing at 8lc. May was very qulc nil day. It showed some stiength , selllnt , as high as $1.0iy. and never getting below the llxcd price of $1.01. It closed at thr latter price. The opening In corn wns steady. Thn was all the strength the maiket dlsplayei for some time , for liquidation of May sooi started and grew quite heavy ns the ses Hlon advanced. The favorable weather was a factor , the trade entirely Ignoring yes terday'a heavy export- . Covering of shor contracts wns fnlrly llbeial nt the botton nnd some rallying ensued. May rangei from 29c to 2sio nnd closed WtFYsC hlghe : at 29c bid. iTho market for oats was much the sami as corn. Kirly steadiness with wheat wn succeeded by a long peilod of weakness liquidation of May being heavy. In thl maiket , too , the weather wns the factor Short * covered near the close and a sub ntnntla ) rally ensued , the market closing fnlrly steady. There was some demand fo opting shipment nt the decline. Mny rnngei nt from 2.YKO to ! % nnd closed ! 4c lowe at 2.YMI&c. . Provisions wore the firmest market on th floor. Small receipts of hogs caused a firm opening. Shorts and packers came Into th market with peed buying orders and I steady advance tmsurd , closing prices belnf about the best of the day.

There was n com- plcto icversal of sentiment on the Stock exchange today compnred with that of the earlier part of the week nnd prices sagged almost continu ously. The losses averaged nearly 2 per cent In the standard shares nnd were more pronounced In the specialties , where In one care the de cline exceeded 4 per cent. Trading vvas dom inated by the announced completion of the Maine bDaid of Inquiry report , the failure of the Paclllc roads to reach nn amicable agree ment upon the passenger rates nnd the heavy selling by houses with Washington connections.

The continued ease of money likewise attracted little attention * The resumption of uneasiness as to the general Cuban situation seemed not to be shared on the foreign bourses , where Spamlsh 4s advanced , although this may have been due to the an nouncement that the Interest pa > ments had been guaranteed. The bears offered round amsunts of the grangers , Sugnr , Manhattan , Metropolitan Street Hallway and other prom inent securities. The absence of support by other financial Interests was readily perceived by the advocates of lower values and utilized to the fullest extent. London was mther apathetic and early prices afforded little encouragement to either party , being slightly mixed. Subse quent cables represent the London exchange's closing exceedingly weak. Rugar .absorbed the bulk of the traders' attention during the day at receding prices. It was the gossip of the street that late this evening the rapid transit com missioners would announce certain concessions to Manhattan In the way of extensions , but that stock declined considerably.

Operations In railway and mlfcellaneous bonds showed a further contraction In dealings , wlfi the aggregate reaching J1.330.COO. The tendency of the market was downward throughout , and as has been the cae of late a large prepon derance of the deallni5B centered In a few of the speculative lines.

As compare * ! with sterday there was a falling off In the quality a- well ns In the number received. t TV as a. Thursday , hovvever , and light re ceipts ere welcome to sellers as there are no shippers on that day to bolster up the market. Heef Steers IJglit receipts , poor quality nnd fin absence of u. . shipping demand were ha most prominent features of the day's lade. Thu light offerings , however , were 'Utnclcjit ' to m.ilntnln values even though hero was no shipping demand. Local pack ers all Deemed to want cuttle and they all bought freely , but as the quality of the offering's was not desirable no one seemed n any great hurry to buy , but on the con- .rary , buyers took their tlmo nnd the mar- cet as a whole was not particularly active. Still the cattle kept selling nnd practically everything was sold In good season. By reason of the. very ordinary character of the most of the cattle the sales made a very poor showing on paper. Butchers' Stock Only a few cows nnd letters wcro on snle , but atlll the market was not so- very active. At the same time : ho demand wns reasonably good and the offerings 'were- gradually cleaned up. It wns just about a steady market and the : rado as a vvholel was devoid of new or In- tcre' < tlng features. Stock Cattle There were hardly enough Ight stock cattle In the yardi to make iny test of the. market , but the demand continues good and It Is safe to say that values were strong. Thele were n few feeders mhlcn met with ready sale at steady prices. Cattle averaging 700 to SOO pounds sold at $4.50J4.75 nnd light cattle brought more in proportion.
