CHICAGO, March l.-lrrcgularlly marked
the courso of tho grain market today, the
heaviness of wheat forming a contrast with
the corn strength and the sympathetic firm
ness of oats. Corn closed ftc and oats a
ahade higher, while wheat showed a net de.
cllne of -HOftc for the day. Provisions also
were Irregular, closing 2ftOGc lower to 6c
higher.
A strong corn market existed throughout
the session and tho volume of business
tranacted reached an Imposing total. Spec
ulative; Interest was centered In this mar
ket and tho pit was congested by an Influx
of speculators attracted from other parts of
tho floor by the activity of the play. Com
mission houses operated heavily, but the
pressure was nicely balanced generally uiul
It remained for tho prominent operator to
jnako or break prices. Kxccptlng an Eng
lish estimate, inaklnir the Argentina ex-
ortable surplus 72,lJO,000 btl., there was
Ittle news, leaving the market Htlll the toy
of sentiment, pure and simple. May opened
uncnangeu to no nignnr at wim mil".
Shorts brcamo alarmed at the strong char
acter of tho buying and covered, forcing
tho market up to tlftc. The wheat weak
ness proved Influential on the udvanco and
nomo- com bought earlier was unloaded,
May dropping back to 4lftc, resisting stub
bornly. 1 ho close was tlrm at that price,
ftc over yesterday Local receipts were 2So
cars, 2 of contract grade. Deliveries on
March contracts were only 1(0,000 bu.
t'ndcr tho Influence of light northwest re
ceipts, a decrease In Argentine shipments
last week and the steadlneus of cables May
wheat opened a shade higher at 75ff TOc
end sold to a limited extent at 761?76lio.
Heavy prcssuro wns brought to bear on the
market and May dropped to 75ft076ftc, some
long wheat coming out on tho decline. Tho
aggressive strength of corn caused cover
ing by shorts, under which May rallied to
75ft4f76c. Persistent selling by a big long
und the lack of outside encouragement
caused renewed heaviness anil the market
during tho afternoon broke to 76ft4i75ftc.
On tho dip sbortH took profits and tho mar
ket reacted to 75ft4i76ftc nnd closed at that
price, ftOftc lower and rather heavy In
tone. Export business was reported dull.
Seaboard clearances In wheat nnd flour
were 375,000 bu whllo primary receipts ag-
f regaled 48.000 bu., compared with 628,000 bu.
ast year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
317 cars, against 641 a year ago, Chicago re
ceipts were 23 cars, 2 of contract grade,
Argentine shipments, nccordlng to tho
Hoard of Trade announcement, wero 821,000
bu. last week, 200,000 bu. less than tho prevl
ous week and more than 2,000,000 bu. under
last year's during tho corresponding period.
Oats wero dull on tho local market, but
tho tono was firm In sympathy with corn.
May sold between 25fte and 25fta and dosed
a shade higher at 23ft425ftc. llccclpts wore
203 cars.
In the provisions market lard and ribs
wero fairly active, but pork was generally
neglected. It was wanted In small lota nnd
ns llttlo was offered this Item of tho list
ruled comparatively firm. Outside pack
ers were liberal sellers of lard and ribs
and prices nurtured In consequence, although
local packers gave the market some sup
port. May pork sold between J13.97ft and
J4.07ft and closed 5c higher at J14.07ft; May
lard, between J7.45 and J7.37Hfi7.40, closing
2ft05c down at $7.40. and May ribs, between
J7 and J6.934M.97ft, with the close 3ftc de
pressed at J7.
Estimated receipts tomorrow: "Wheat, 55

METALS Month-end statistics averaged
uii as very bearish for the tin market. The
shipments from the straits during the !irst
two months of this year havo Increased
about LIW tons, while the consumption for
tho sumo period decreased 600 tons, The
future list of tin was affected materially
by till.- factor, but the spot department
holds about steady, with the range today
$26. 65ft J'. 75. Tin In London ruled about un
changed: spot c'ofcctl at 121 and futures at
115 )2s Cd. The copper situation remains
unchanged both hern and abroad; tho close
here was on tho basis of J17.no for Lake
Superior and J Hi. 62 14 fur casting and elec
trolytic Tho exports of copper for tho
last month showed a decrease of 7,7o9 tons
ns contrasted with the same amount last
year. During tho llrst two months of this
year tho exports amounted to only 17,131
tons, against 26,024 samo time Inst year.
The decreaso Is said to be owing to tho
Iioor business abroad, Domestic Iron mar
tcts continue dull and unchanged. At
Glasgow warrants closed at 62s 6d and at
Mlddlesborough at 45s 6d. Spelter was
easier, owing to a lack of demand, closing

Weekly Review of Trado tomorrow will soy:
TI10 Jobbing trado In groceries, hardware
and Iron specialties him further gained In
volume In the east since our Inst report and
retail business has been good except for
a slow movement of some descriptions uf
dry goods, notably clothing, of which denl
ers tear they must carry over unusually
largo stocks. In tho west nnd southwest,
however, the season bus been satisfactory.
Tho greatest Industrial combination ever
arranged, that providing for the union of
tho leading steel Industries, has not di
rectly affected business ns yet md may
not do so otherwise than by removing some
of tho unnecessary competition from the
trade. According to published lists, it ap
pears that whllo pig iron has steadily ad
vanced for many weeks, little change has
occurred In finished products. '1 hi dis
crepancy Is duo to tho figures fixed by tho
various pools nnd associations, but y.1
which It is impossible to secure prompt do
llvorles. Business Is dono at extensive ad
vances over thcso prices, billets selling at
$21 nt Pittsburg, or more than $1 nbove tho
nominal rate, whllu plates, bars and struc
tural HhnpcH arc only uvr.llaljlo when spe
cial terms ure offered.
Even on distant ilellverlcH mills nro ask
ing higher figures and every line of steel
production at Pittsburg has already cov
ered full contracts for tho next two
months, while thero Is a general feeling
that material ndvnuces will occur beforo
May 1. Bessemer pig sold this week at
$15.25 nnd gray forge ut $19. prices that
havo not been equaled since early In Au
gust. Coke production lq enormous and
Connellsvlllo prices at last show a dcllnlto
advance. Further Increase appears In sales
of wool nt tho three chief eastern markets,
8,830,500 pounds changing hands for tho
week, against 8,528,500 pounds in tho previ
ous week. A year ago total transactions
wero less than half tho present week's op
erations. Thero is still no reason to bcMovo
that tho heavy buying results from bettor
conditions nt tho mills, ns orders for goods
do not appreciably expand except In special
lines.
If manufacturers were bidding for raw
material largely the decline In prices would
bo checked, but the averugo on March 1
was the lowest since June, 1899. Shipments
of boots and shoes from Boston were 87.026
cases, against 81,675 In the week preceding
nnd 100,8o6 n yenr ago.
Most visiting buyers have concluded sam
pling and returned homo. Shops have am
ple work for some time to como and prices
aro well maintained. Large stocks of hides
deprcsn prices at Chicago, taking tho aver
ago to the lowest point since last October.
Curtailment of production by southern
yarn mills tins become general and nt Fall
River thero Is much discussion of the ad
visability of reducing output or lowering
wages. Loss In domestic consumption of
raw cotton seeniB nssurea nnd foreign buy
ing is far from satisfactory. Tho position
of this staple Is not mnde firmer by news
that sales of .fertilizers pass all records In
many southern states, drain markets are
firmly mnlntnlned. Domestic crop condi
tions are encournglng and tho best ex
planation of strength is found in Atlantic
exports during February of wheat, flour in
cluded, amounting to 10,318,201 bushels,
against 7,671,652 last year and 14,730,162 bush
els corn, ngalnst 12,724,621 In 1900.
Tho commercial failures In February
wero 1,021 111 number nnd $11,287,211 In
nmount. compnred with 1,242 in January,
with liabilities of $11,220,811. It Is worthy of
note that nearly a third of the liabilities
in manufacturing failures wero duo to a
single bankruptcy of a railway contractor.
while not one of tho 757 trading
owed as much as jiw.uuu.

Trade reports from distributive centers at

notubly In the manufacturing branches of
tho cotton and the wool trade, but advices
from tho dry goods and clothing distribu

help business. A revival In export trade
In cottons Is noted among the encournglng
features lit this line. In tho northwest

tarded snrlne trade preparations, but the
,agrlculturul Implement trade Is reported
nearly equal to a year ago at Minneapolis.
Tho strength of iron and steel this week
recalls the boom of 1S9). It Is probable,
too, that tho broad and stronr consump
tive demand nnd not the operations of pools
or cliques Is responsible for the steady
advances. Prnctlcnlly all markets report
Iron and steel higher, but special activity
la noted at Pittsburg, Birmingham and
Chicago, St. Louis alune reports foundry
Iron consumers Indifferent. At Pittsburg
Bessemer pig Is 75c higher and at Chicago
southern pig shows a slmllnr gain. Steel
billets now sell at J3 over tho ', mot price
for prompt delivery, biockb or pig unu 1 u
lets nro reported smnll. Ore prices havo
not yet been fixed, and the Improvement
In Iron may result In higher prices than
earlier expected. In finished products the
feature Is the advance of Jl per ton In steel

aro reported well supplied with orders. Do-
Bpltc the racl mat export traue 111 crude
materials particularly Is small with Indus
trially wen aovanccci countries, a goon
movement to other countries Is noted. A
sample of this Is tho order for 40.000 tons
of 66-pound rails reported from Ecuador
nnd orders for railway material from Aus
tralia and Africa.

Mnny Speculators Wnlt for Term of
Steel Merger.
NEW YORK, March 1. Bradstreet'B
Financial Review tomorrow will gay:
The Dredomlnntlng Influence In the snecu
lutlvr world this week was the propose!
combination of the Carnegie company avd
tho other prominent steel manufacturing
concerns. When tho New York Stock ex
change adjourned on Thursday of last
weeK ror n mrte-nays noiuiny 11 was ruiiy
expected that the resumption of business
on Monday would bn attended by some
dellnlte announcement about the matter,
This hope was not disappointed, ns the
manngera of the deal made public the terms
on which holders of the common and pre
ferred utocks of the half dozen companies
which are to come Into the new combina
tion aro to bo Invited to exchange tholr
holdings for tho now shares.
Tho preliminary Incorporation of the pros
pective bllllon-dollar trust under the title
of the United States Steel corporation was
also effected and tho various other details
were made known about the financial ar
rangements connected with tho execution
of the plan. This served to divert specu
lative activity and attention to the Indus
trials and heavy trading ensued In tho
stocks of the new combination, the latter,
of course, being dcult In on the so-called
'"curb' market In the form ot contrncts for
tho delivery of Block when and an Issued.
The activity In tho latter stocks there w.ts
considerable for a tlr.ie, the prices ranging
all the way from 35 to 40 for the common
nnd from 75 to 87 for the preferred.
There were also heavy dealings both In
and out of the exchange In the constituent
stocks, a good deal of which reemcd to
be arbitrating trades or purchases and
sales, or vice versa, of United States steel
stocks and those of ono of the other com
panies, based on the apparent margins be
tween tho market prices for the old nnd the
new stocks nnd the figures at which the
former securities are to be exchanged for
tho latter. There wns also not n little of
what tho street thought to be Inside selling
in some of tin. Kirrl stocks and It would
seem that tho public failed to develop any
Kicm disposition 10 iruoe 111 unu kiuiiii.
Finally prices for the various stocka di
rectly Invnlvpil In the deal wero read
justed in some proportion to their 'respec
tlvo positions under the terms of tho con
solidation and the volume of transactions In
them fellto modcrnte proportions.

MOVEMENTS STOCKS AMI IIOMIS.
Pressure In Helmed Annlnxt Steel
Stocks nnd They Score IIpimm pries.
NEW YORK, March 1. Pressure was re
laxed against the steel stocks In today's
market and they scored unequal recover
les. Probably this had as much to do with
the better tono of the stock market as
anything that could bo cited. National
Tube was the most nffected, with n rally
of 3ft nnd Steel and Wire Is about 2 points
higher. Other members of the group
gained between 1 and 2 points. There was
a mnrked demand In this part of the stock
market, Incident to the completion of the
process of adjustment of prices and the
conditions disclosed early In tho week of
the steel merger. Until this condition In
the steel stocks hnd been fairly disclosed,
there was moro or less heaviness In the
gonernl market. The renllztng In St. Paul
on the stock privileges carried It down n
point, but It wi's woll supported nt that
level nnd Inter scored n full recovery.
After the turn In tho mnrket had set In
thero were large buying movements devel
oped In a number of Individual stocks or
allied groups of stocks. This was most
notnblo among the Gould southwestern,
Including Missouri Pacific, the St. Louis
southwesterns, the Missouri, Knnsns &
Texns atocks nnd tho Wnbash Issues. The
extromo advances here ran from 1 to 2;,
tho latter In Missouri Pnclttc. nnd 2ft In
St. Louis Southwestern preferred. This
movement was apparently based on the
largo earnings which are being reported
In that region, There seems to bo linger
ing belief also among trader In old rumors
of n southwestern combination, Thero was
another pronounced movement In roads
which carry bituminous eonl to tidewater.
Pennsylvania, the Baltimore Ohio stocks,
Chesapeake & Ohio and Norfolk & Western
were nil largely bought and wero sharply
lifted by this demand. It was sjpposed In
the bnnrd room to bo for nccount of Penn
sylvania railroad Interests in extension of
the holdings of that company In those
ronds. Burlington, Rock Island nnd the
Chicago Great Western stocks enjoyed n
period of strength, and the gas group, In
cluding People's, Coiuiolldnted and Brook
lyn Union, wero ndvnnccd In concert.
There wns ncllvo demand for Sugar all
day at mi extremo advance of 4ft. Thero
were In addition good gains made by 11
number of stocks not usually prominent
In tho trndlng, such as tho American Lin
seed Oil stocks, International Power, the
Cleveland, Loralnc Wheeling atocks, tho
Toledo, St. Louis & Western stocks. Evnna
vlllo & Terre Haute, tho Chicago Tcrmlnnl
Transfer Btocks and Texas Land trust. In
which the ndvnnces ranged from 1 to 4
points. Notwithstanding tho ndvantago of
this very considerable show of strength In
special stocks the condition of the market
remained quite apathetic and moved only
sluggishly upward. In sympathy with the
general markets. In splto ot the lato up
ward movement In Southern Railway
stocks on a large demand the closing was
barely steady. Tho continued case of the
money mnrket detracts from any apprehen
sion over tomorrow's bank statement,
which Is expected to show a decline In
ensh reserve, owing to the nbsorpllon of
over $3,000,000 by the subtrcasury this week.
Money still moves toward New York from
the Interior, although New York exchange
nt Chicago has declined steadily to 30c dis
count. The London money mnrket relaxed
today with tho release of funds tied up by
month-end requirements nnd sterling ex
change here ensed off in response.
The bond mnrket was moderately active
nnd It regular. Total sales, par value,
$3,315,000. United States refunding 2s, cou

The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says: Business on the
Stock exchange was less active today. Tho
expectations, partly realized already, of
easier money gave the trading n firm tone,
but there was much disappointment over
tho lnck of continuation of the report thnt
Botha had surrendered. American shnrcs
were Innnlmnte. Tho market for them
seems to be passing away again, The only
features were somo further butting of Erles
and a spurt In Chcsnpeako & Ohio Issues.
The Interest In Erie. 1 exnlnlned yesterday,
was duo to a belief that dividends nre com
ing lu all Issues. The upstart of Chesa-
r cakes was not considered Important, for
t came late, after the closo of the ex
change. Money rates began ensy, although
the settlement nnd money payments nro
duo tomorrow.

CATTLE There were only a few cattle
on salo today, and as a result It did not
tnko long to clear the vards. Packers took
held and bought up the better grades ot
titer steers at u little stronger prices man
were paid yesterday. The light supply of
the good cattle helped out the sale on the
commoner kinds, but at the same time
there was not much difference noticeable
In tho prices paid. It was a good, active
market alt around though, and everything
was sold in good season.
Tho cow market was barely steady today.
The more desirable bunches sold without
much dlfllculty nt Just about yesterday's
prices, out on 1110 medium grnucs anu un
the cunners the reeling was weak and sell
ers in some cases hud to take a llttlo lower
prlccB than the same kind ot stuff sold for
yesterday.
Bulls were slow sale today, as packers
seemed to have about ull that kind of stock
that they cared for this week. Sellers
found It dlfllcult to dispose of the heavy
packer bulls at any price. Veal calves sold
just about steady.
There were very few feeders on sale, and
as Is generally the case at the close of tho
week, buyers wero not particularly anxious
about supplies, but still thCy bought up
what was offered nt Just about stendy
prices. The warmed-up cattle also sold to
yard traders at Just about yesterday's quo
tations. Representative sales:
