CHICAGO , April 3. Heavy receipts today
In association with prospective mlldfr
\vcather caused longs lo llquldalo freely to
day In the wheat pit. After nn early nd-
vanre of Ic , May closed with a net dcrtlna
of1iB"4c. . Corn lost VVB'/ic. Ontn arc a
ehade lower. Pork declined 2V4Q.V : . Lard
nnd ribs left off prncllcally unchanged.
Thtio was a decidedly strong lone. In Iho
wheat pit at Iho start. May opeiml % ftT4c
higher at from "V t/iVAc and during the
llrst few minutes trading advanced to 73 4c.
The strength at the opening was the consn-
cnicnco of an olllclal report from Missouri
estimating the crop condition In that stale
at CC , a drop of 14 points from the condi
tion a year ago. The weather throughout
the northwest was Mill unseasonably cold ,
but there wore predictions of springlike
weather for tomorrow. Under the Influ
ence of a prospective modification of the
< emperaturn speculators forgot all about
accomplished damage and they sold on the
lulvance. AH the session progressed visions
of uproullni : .ieeds nnd budding trees rose
in the minds of traders and heavy liquida
tion ot In. This solllivg changed the mar
ket from t1u > extreme ot buoyant llghl-
Jicgfl to heavy depression. May wheat
clipped off quickly to 71 ? < c. The heavy re
ceipt * also encouraged selling. Chicago re
ceived S9 cars , of which B graded contracl.
ailnnennolls and DulutJi got Ml curs , com-
paroil with 857 the some day a year ago.
The total receipts ut western primary mur-
kelH were 8&2.000 bli. , whereat ) only 37JC ( > 00
liu. were received last year. Atlanllu port
clearances of wheat and flour were equal
to SI7.000 bu. . The domestic visible chewed
11 decrease of but SO.OOO bu. Instead ot about
COO.OOO bu. as exp-icled. Covering by shorls
nl Ihe decline caused a. slight rally near the
end and May closed at 71t4S72c ,
Liquidation by bull concerns weakened
oorn. The bears who have bc-en on Ihe
lookout for it favorabio opportunity to buy
In thulr short corn look advanlage of Ihe
decline , however , and part of the loss was
regained. Receipts. HO cars. May opened
He higher at 3JV fp3r > Vic , soM sparingly at
5',4c , sold ot ! to 3\c \ and closed with buyers
at 34c.
There was an excellent demand for both
SMiiy and July oats , Hie latter option being
( fpuclnlly wanted. Receipts , 213 cars. May
began Uif4c higher at 2Cic , declined lo
CCe nd c-lo.cd ill 261. e.
Provisions were suslalncd under the weak
ness of Ihu surrounding grain markets nnd
ljtho revelations of the monthly .stock
taking , which showed apparently that the
great receipts of hogs are no mora tilinn suf-
Jlclent lo satisfy current requirements of
the foreign and domeallc consumers. May

NBW YORK , April 3. The usual accumu
lation over Sunday of "buy at the market"
orihrs caused n buoyant opening In many
slocks. The dealings were on a tremendous
ifcale , particularly In the morning , nnd the
total transactions were over 1,250,000 shares.
The most sensational ndvnncos were
among the specialties , many of which main
tained gains to .thu close , although the rail
ways eased oil. The legal rule , G per cent ,
was thu prevailing figure for call money
on good collateral , but the 'range ' for th * day
was from 6 to 8 .per cent , with the closing
at the lower llgure. Although thu London
market was clon-d because of the Easter
holidays , arbitrage brokers put out some
HnH of stock In the expectation of getting
them bnck cheaper In London tomorrow.
Iho market throughout was highly specu
lative , with rapid advances nnd declines.
Manhattan , on the tremendous dealing- ' .
maintained n udvanco of G points. The
stock was apparently controlled by pool op
erations , support toeing extended on declines
and much realizing appearing nt thn high
llguro ? . Federal Stoe.1. on transactions second
end mly , to those of Manhattan , sold early
at the highest figures yet reached and then
receded sharply , leaving n net loss of 1H
points. The preferred advanced about ns
much. American Steel was pushed tip 3
point" . Missouri Pacific , on trading of over
100,000 shnrus , advanced 3 points on buying
by n pool said to Include some of th ? Insid
ers. Kansas & Tcxus preferred at the same
time was marked up over a point.
The announcement of the privilege to sub
scribe for mw stock In Brooklyn Transit ,
together with an erroneous report of n cash
dividend declaration , unused the stock to
sell up 13G. but It receded 6harply , leaving
n not decline of over 2 points nt the close.
The trading In some hnJf-dozen specialties
nearly equalled the dealings In all the rest
of the list. The most conspicuous advances
wt ro Third Avenue 9 points. North Ameri
can S 4 , International Paper 7 % , Tin Plate
% . Tennessee Coal 4 J and Sugar 3.
Paclllc IMnll , Delaware & Lacknwnnna ,
Mexican Central and Western Union were
spots of strength. Crop advices were as-
Mgned as the reason for realizing Jn the
standard western railway stocks. Burling
ton , Pennsylvania , New York Central nnd
Northern Pacifies suffered declines of a
point nnd o er. Kansas City , Pltlsburg &
Gulf and .Melropolllan were weak. The
closing of the general mnrkt was weak. It
developed after the close of btulncss that a.
deal had 'been effected between Manhattan
ami Third Avntio Railway companies.
Considerably Irregularity prevailed in to
day's bond mnrket , with the more promi
nent Issues sagging. Total sales , $3,455.400.
United States 5s advanced U per cent , but
the 3s lost > 4 per cent in the bid price.

CATTLE There were not catlle enough In
Hie yardof / any one kind lo make anything
like u test of Iho market , but thure was a
good demand and Iho buyers seeimd lo be
glad to et what there were , so thai every
thing was sold and weighed up In a very
short time. As there were so few here the
local packers bought the sleers nt strong
prices and sellers without exception were
well pleased with r = i = ults. There was nolh-
ing choice lo put a top on the market so
that sales do not look particularly high on
paper.
Tin- few cows and heifers In the yards
brought good llrm prices , the same as at
the close ot last we = k , and buyers were not
long In clearing the pens. Hulls , stags , etc. ,
sold tit about the same prices as prevailed
the last of lust week and the market was
without change of Importance on that kind
of oattls.
Stock catlle and feeders were In very light
supply and there were not enough lo make
any kind of lest of Ihe market. It would
be wife , however , to say that the market
was fully steady , with -n very fnlr demand
for desirable kinds. < Representallve sales :

HOGS The few hags In the yards sold
early and 2Hu higher. The sale * were
mostly at $3.92b13.70 , ns against $3.W03.70 (
on Saturday. The proportion of sales at
$3.63 was somewhat greater than at the
close cf Inst week.
It will be noted from thp table of average
rtrlrps above that the market Is now 5c
higher than it was at thp opening of last
week. It might be added thai Ihe hogs sold
today at the highest point touclKtl on a
Monday since Ihe middle of February. The
market is now ju t about where It was
thn 1st of April ot last year , but It Is Hue
lower than It was two years ago. Repre-
scnlallve soles :
Blsted principally of lambs. The market on
sheep was Just about steady and the offerings -
ings of desirable muttons for the most part
sold In good season. U'lth lambs the situa
tion wa. " entirely dlflVrenl. Buyers Heemt-d
to fi--l that this market wtiu too high as
compared with other markets and In con-
HequeiK'e they wanted tile lambs ; it lower
lirlcPS. Hollers could not sec It thai way
and , on Ihe contrary , wrro holding for
stmdy or even strong prices. The result
was u very .Mow .mil dull market ami the
mnrnlng passed with very few lambs chang
ing lunds. Thu situation could perhaps
bust bu described UK a xlinv , dull and lower
lamb inaiket. At the sume. time some lambs
whli h wen- wanted f ir Immediate Hlnmshtfr
sold early ut prices that looked fu'ly steady.
