Irregularity and nervous excitement char

opened Vlo hlRher lit 7014c to 70e. mainly
under prcHBiirc from Hhorts, wIioho fears
wore aroused by the steadiness of Liverpool
cables, by eotd weather and the small total
of northwest receipts. I-oiir wheat, mostly
from scalpers, came out In sympathy with
tho easiness In corn and May reacted to

Local receipts were til cars, none of con-

Com resiioniled very feebly to the bullish
spirit of the wheat market at the openlliR.
Tho weather was regarded as bearish and
as receipts continued to show Improvement
In firndo and there were Indications of a
freer movement from the country In the
near future, tho market eased off durlnR
tho forenoon, imino stop-loss orders com
tliK out. Tho iiRRressivo bulllshnCHH of tho
wheat market later alnrmed a sulllclcnt
number of shorts to cause a recovery, but
not to the best prices of the day. May sold
between 41',(,e and ll'41lltt,o and closed tin

C.) loads taken for export, but none was re
ported here.
Oats were dull, tho trade being local and
very light. Fluctuations, such as they were,
wero governed by corn. May sold between
2."'.iii25Uc and 25c and closed a shade hlRher
nt 2.Vie. Receipts were 121. cars.
Small receipts of hogs and higher prices
for them gnvo a bullish tone to the pro
vision market, wheru a further rise oc
curred with tho consequent establishment
of a new hlgh-prlco record for the season.
I'ork, which was far anil away tho fea
ture of the day, was wanted, but there
was scarcely any on the market save
when shorts raised their bids to a marked
degree. May pork opened at J10.tjiWilii.7ri
and advanced early to JH'i.'.mi. Uvcii at this
price offerings were far from liberal and
tho demauil from shorts was so urgent that
only snmll recessions occurred dining the
remainder of the session, leaving the close
li'j'.ie over yesterday at JI0.00, A good cash
demand contributed to tho advance In fu
tures. I. mil und ribs were mule unlet, but
very firm. May lard sold between t7.S2,s

NEW YORK, March 20. Tho mnrket was
overwhelmed with selling orders during the
enlll'lin it Initnv'tt trmllni? nnd the nhe-
notnenon occurred of nn eager unloading of
stocks by alarmed holders wltnojt any nau
news bearing on tho value of their prop
erty to alarm them. Tho hull leaders at
tempted for a time to contest the decline
anil to (liven ine speculation miu neiv
channels. Hut the market was obviously
tired and responded languidly to tho manip
ulation for the advance. Yesterday s heavy
prollt-tf.hlng brought further selling orders
through commission houses nnd the bears
detecting tho strained conditions In tho
market, put out larger short lines.
Wlinn tlin linlta tlmilly eeaned their efforts
to check the decline prices crumbled rapidly
and stop-loss orders wcro uisiougcu on a
largo scale. With only a fow exceptions
nrlees fell well below last nlcllt. Prollt-
taklng by the bears caused a considerable
rally in tlio last nour. so tuai iasi pneen
iin, lint tlin Inu'iml'. II 1 1 hll 1 1 1' ll lirotlt-tilkltlC
was renewed on the advance, making tho
I'lnslm- tone lrreii:ilar. Tho tnkltiR or spec
ulntlvo prollts In Hurllngton was on at)
enormous scale. There was determined
support In tho stock at the opening, but the
utmost that could be secured for It was 'J
point advance, Tho opening prlco was the
highest and It was steadily under pressuro
for tho rest of the day. except for the
covering movement by tho shorts. Tho
contest for change of control of this road
seems to hnvo been Ineffectual, tho com
petitive buying of insiders, which carried
tlio prteo to yestcruay s icvci, iuiyuik ik
reiited tho ntteiunt. Yet the recorded trans
actions in tho stock within a fow days past
hnvo been much more than would be sum
nlnnt to elininrn the control. The highly
speculative character ot 1110 dealings is
tlius clearly lituicaieo.
An nfrnrr wiim tntifio in Hi1n.s111.1iG 01. i-aui
mil Northern Paclllc as market leaders and
Missouri Paclllc was marked up very
buoyantly to 101. crossing par for tho llrnt
tlmo In many yenrs. There was a strong
upward movement In Hrooklyn Transit on
rumors of ofllclnl changes nnd on buying of
ilm mum. elinriii'.ter 111 .Manhattan. Tho
steel stocks nil continued strong, the deul
lngs being mostly in the trust cortlllcates
for deposited stocks. Tho time for deposit
expired todny. Ah tho success of tho plan

that delayed deposits win no leiiicnuy
treated. Tho preferred stocks showed
greater strength, gains extending to 4tf.
MemlinrH of the crout) reacted with tho rest
of tho market, but resisted better.
There were signs of an effort to shift the
speculation from railroads Into industrials,
as It Is expected that tho powerful Interests
behind the steel deal will support tho now

CATTLE Recelnts of cattlo today
very light, probably owing to a great ex
tent to yesterday s storm, and what was
reported was lato In arriving. Packers,
howevir, wanted tho cattlo nnd bought up
what was offered nt cood stronu nrlces nil
around.
Thero .were only about thirty cars
of beef steers on salo today and
anything nt nil good was picked
up nt prices that looked strong as
compared with yesterday. In somo cases
wncro tno cat tie just suited tnc buyers,
they nald a little hluhcr nrlces than thev
did yesterday. Tho commoner kinds were.
of course, rather neglected, but at tho samo
tlmo they sold fully ns well as they did
yesterday.
Tho markc on cow stuff was also In good
shapu and the, mnrket could safely bo
quoted nctlvo and strong. Tho snmo as
wiin ucet steers, somo 01 mo moro desir
able bunches undoubtedly sold a llttlo
hluher than tho same kind of stuff brought
yesterday. Cholco heifers In particular sold
ai very saiisiaciory prices.
xnero was nut mucn cnango noticcnuio
in bulls, calves and stags.
Thero wcro only a fow feeders In today
and the demand was bj indent to tnko what
wan ofTercd at just about steady prices.
Thero are. quite a few cattle In the hands
of yard traders, owing to tno scarcity 01
buyers since tho storm sot In, nnd for
that reason thev nro not nnrtlcularly
anxious for moro cattle at the present time.

HOGS -Thero wn.i n very light run of hogs
hero teday, and a number of the trains
were late, which still further reduced the
supply un salo at the opening of the mar
ket Trading hero started out on a basis
of a 10c advance. The long string sold ul
J5.70, with the belter grndes going nil the
way from J3,72'4 to J3.7iVs. Tim lighter
weights sold from $3.70 down. It was a
fairly uctlvo market nt those prices, and
the hogs were soon sold. Taking quality
Into consideration the market today was a
big dime higher than yesterday.
Tho last hnlf of the market did not show
much of any change. Tho trnlns kept ar
riving nil thn morning, und buyers bought
tho hogs nbout as fust ns they arrived, the
long string going nt J5.70. Somo ot the
lighter weights were neglected and left
until the last, us packers do not seem to
want that kind. Tho extremo close was a
little weak nnd It took pretty good hogs to
lirlnc Jl.i.70. The latest arrivals wero very
slow In changing hands, ns sellers were
holding ror tile morning prices, licprcsenta
