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. At the clos
May pork wns 15c higher nt $9.77'A. May
lird lOc higher at J3.15 nnd May ribs 7'/4
lilprhi'r at $3.10.
Estimated receipts Friday : Wheat , 11
cars ; corn , 210 cars ; oats , 180 cars ; hogs

NHW YOHK. Match 17. 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.

movement , Including todaj's engagements of
Jl,300,0 0 and the J3.VXOCO ) en route from Aus
tria , | In excess of J30.0 > ; 0,000. 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. The net
losses of 2 points and over follow : Metropolitan
Street Hallway , Consolidated ; Oas. 2V4 : To
bacco , 2V4 : Manhattan , 2 4 , and Pullm-ins 2'4.
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. Quotations for govern
ment Issues Indicated lo'se-i of Hi per cent In
the Issues of HIS and Vt per cent In the 4s , reg
istered , of 1907.
The Evening Post's London financial cable
gram says : In the absence of bad political news
the ctock markets here continued steady to
day. The chleC feature was the recovery in
Investment stocks on the prospects of tem

CATTLL3 Tod.iy's cattle run consisted of
, SG4 head , while yesterday there were 3,597
nd a week ago 2,312. 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. Representative sales :
