CHICAGO. March 7. Favorable weather
for the growtn of the fall-sown crop was
the prime factor In an extremely weak
wheat market here today. At the close
May wheat waa off an even cent. July Is
down 1-V. Corn and oats were affected by
the weakness of wheat. May corn cloilng
with a net loss of Mrc; oata, V. l
vlstona are off SHWte.
At the opening the wheal market showed
considerable weakness. May being off -Vl'c
at $1 148U.r''. July was down VS': at
fN'g!1. Sentiment In the pit wa gen
erally beaHKh. the majority Of trauers be
ing on the selling side. The Initial decline
waa due partly to a slump of Vd at Liver
pool. The weakness abroad, however, waa
of less Influence than domestic conditions.
Weather throughout the winter wheat sec
tion In the United States was extremely
favorable to the development of the new
crop. After selling at $l.!5v, shortly after
the opening. May gradually ilecllm-d until
the price touched l.l.'?v July sold off to
MV. Later May rallied on covering by
shorts, but July was heavy the entire day.
A factor that tended to create some de
mand for May waa a report by a local crop
statistician giving a bul Ish estimate on the
amount of wheat In farmers' hands. The
market closed weak, with M.iy at $1.14;
July closed at 9tic. Clearances of wheat
and flour were equal to 50.200 bushels. Pri
mary receipts wert 406.000 bushels, against
tttl.000 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis,
Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 281
cars, against 43( ;afs last week and 31$
cars a year ago.
During the first part of the session the
corn market waa active and strong. The
market wa Influenced by smaller receipt
than expected. Estlmnted large reserves In
fsrmers' hands created additional weak
ness. May opened a shade to 'ufac higher
at 4SN4i4c. sold between 47"r and 4Xfy
and closed at 47Te. Local receipts were Ki
cars, with 3 of contract grade.
A decidedly weak feeling developed In the
oata market and values declined quite
sharply on selling by a prominent commis
sion house. Liberal receipts and wenkness
of wheat were the main factors. Mav
sold between 314c and 32c and closed at
31Sc. 1,00a I receipts were 273 cars.
Weakness of grains had a depressing ef
fect on provisions. At the opening the mar
ket was comparatively firm as a result of
smaller receipta of nogs' than expected.
The- decline In gralna caused some liquida
tion and an easier tone soon developed. At
the close Mav oork was off 7c ttt til fi;U.
Lard waa down 2Vyfir3c n.t $7.07V. Ribs were
214.C lower at $fi.87&90.
Et'mated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,

Belief that Settlement of Grain Rate
War Will Permanently Deflect
Traffic from Atlantic Ports
tke tease.
NEW YORK, March 7 The speculation
in stocks took on rather a waiting attitude
today and business wes largely confined to
testing operations to learn the temper of
the market. These failed to develop any
vigorous upward tendencies and the subse
quent drop was due ns much to disappoint
ment over this lack as to any positive pres
sure. The Northern Securities decision or sup
position regarding it has figured so long
and so often as a speculative factor that
the market Is somewhat at a loss with the
conclusion reached. The failure of the
much tHlked of southern Iron combination
has had an admonitory effect and is re
garded as showing the highly credulous
condition of mind Into which the specula
tive actors had been led. A natural spirit
of mlxglvlng regarding other vague stories
on the strength of which stocks have been
bought Is the result. The strike on the
Interlxirough system In New York City had
no very clear effect directly through the
stocks immediately concerned, which It
fa't showed strength, but the effect was
bad on tho general speculative temper.
There waa a direct effect also In the reduc
tion of the attendance lit the Stock ex
change caused by the rlfflculty In getting
to business and the resultant dullness of
th market was partly due to this fact.
There was no change In current conditions
of money or business to alter the tone ot
the slock market. Money on call continued
easy.
The terms of the settlement of the grain
rate war are regarded as threatening a
permanent decline In the grain traffic to
Atlantic ixirts. which may have been a fac
tor in the heavlnesa of the trunk lines. A
number of gross earnings reports for the
last week of February by southern and
southwestern railroads showed some rather
striking declines from those of last year.
Atchison, however, was at one time strong,
en Id to be on covering by shorts. The

mors wrich have long served to carry
prices upward. The closing was easy and
at about the lowest of the day.

ACTIVITY IN WHEAT AT-
TfiACTIflG GENERAL ATTENTION
While Waiting for Government Report of Condition of Winter Wheat
and Farm Reserves, Bears Hake a Quick Drive in
Anticipation of a Strong Showing
Other Conditions Surrounding tho Market Favor Strength, and Big Interests Back
of Market Believe It Will be Easy to Run Prices Up.
l'lhes In the wheat market show a wltlo muge, nnil ronrlttlong are tloveloplnts Unit Indicate a bull market.
A iMilutli grain jouniul says that if there U anything in statistics. Ilils norths osi situation Is drifting into position
that will very nliarply reverse the bearish toue that nan prevailetl during the pat t days because of failure of
rereipta to ti ami furuish proof of alleged shortage. In the spring wheat states supplies In first hands and iu
country elevator are plated at lEl.fmo.ouo bushels, or an amount etpial to reiitilreinents of nntry mills from
March 1st to August 1st, l!i4. At Minneapolis mills for same time consumed aa.txm.tKlO huxhola and flielr stocks
now In all posit ions are equal only to l.j.ono.OtKJ bushels, indicating that there will be felt the first shortage of
whent In this country Ihlit year and the realising of this shortage Is going to be the best protection buyers could
nsk for against anything more than a temporary set-back In price.
Of course, it may tie exported that for a time the most possible will be made of ihe bearish news, and
while its effect In being observed think no mistake can be made In buying some Wheat on temporary set-backs,
l'roni the decreases' iu supplies and advices received concerning farmers' deliveries and the cleaning-tip process now
going on among the big elevator companies, it does not appear that the real situation has changed any, except to
lMHopie stronger than ever before. The reduction in prices has brought in a lot of fresh business to the millers,
anil they in turn have been In the market for Cash Wheat, advancing the price of No. 1 Northern io a premium over
the May. These are the conditions that should be watched closely because they will govern in the end and will not
need to lie continued long to huve a decided stimulating effect on prices. No developments are in sight, or likely
to occur, that will in any wav interfere with the market taking 011 steady Improvement and soon being back at
best ligures again.
It is time now to give less ntienllon to whether or not the May deal Is over. High prices must prevail for
the reason that for the past four years the counti-y's supply of Wheat has been diminishing and the production
last year does not promise to any more than etiual actual requirements. .Study Ihe facta regarding ihe cash situa
tion, l'resent prices should appeal to you strongly. They did not to the producer when they were several cents
higher, la-cause he hnd already marketed his crop and unusually close. The same condition prevails among interior
elevators and after another ten days Northwest receipts will look extremely bullish. , '
While May Wheat has the appearance of great promise to us. It la true we are rapidly approaching the
time of year when the next crop outlook will tie an additional Important price-making factor for all months, flat'
tictilarly July and SeptemlMr. and they will do to buy on all recessions. We expect a jierlod of active market
ami believe there are so many exceptionally strong arguments In favor of a higher range of prices that some
Wheat should be owned at ulltiines, and if bought right, will prove a safe and profitable Investment. . ' .

fully ss good prices as they did yester
day, but, the same as was the case with
ateera, the change, where there was any,
was so small as to attract rtxtl llttlo
attention. Buyers all took hold freely, so
that It wa. not long before the bulk of tbe
offerings was disposed of.
Bulls, veal calves and stags sold in prac
tically the same notches tliey did yester
days There- wera comparatively few Blockers
and feeders Included In the receipts this

the market on anything showing quality
was quite active and steady. Common

CATTLK Tnere was a liberal run of cat
tle here i his moinli.g. over 6.100 being on
a ile. Trains were slow In urrlvlug, so
that it was lather lute Ixfnre the market
opened, hut when buyers UI1 start out the
market was fairly active, with but Utile
change in ruling pricis.
There weie a good luuny litef slcera In
cluded In the offerings, but tiie demand
seemed to lie equal to the supply, and as
a result anything at all desirable sold
without much trouble at steady price.
When it came to the kinds that did not
suit buyers the marke was a little uneven,
some sales tlng steady and others a trifle
weaker. The change from yesterday's
quotations, though, was so Miiall a. to be
burdly worth mentioning.
There was also considerable life io the

HOQ8 Tnere wa. quite a liberal run of
hogs here this morning, but with a good
local demand and favorable report, from
Chicago ihe market here opened In goial
season, with prices ranging strong to a
nickel higher. Buyers took hold quits
freely, su that- the bulg of the early ar
rivals was 8111111 disposed of, but train,
were slow in arriving, which delayed th.
murkei in ld shape. The lighter weight,
old largely from )4.Kt down, butchers and
mixed Horn 64 to 64. 90. with soma of the
prime loads at (4 t-'H Th heavle. sold
all the way from n to (5 00.
As high aa $5 05 wa. paid for a load
weighing 364 pounds, but thev were ol good
quality. The latter end if th. market
was not a. good aa th. opening, aa packers
seemed to hav. their more urgeni ordets
tilled, and when trie late trains began to
arrive they took advantage of the oppor
tunity to take off Ihe early advanre. It
.houlil t noted that moat of th. advam.
SHEEP There waa another bis run of
sheip here thla morning, and as a result
packers were again' very bearish. Th.
sheep market could saTely be quoted very
dull and fully a dime lower, or lOitrlBc lower.
Salesmen were, of course, not Inclined lu
take off that much, and as a result the day
was well advanced before much of any
business wa. tranacted. A. high a. $5.7.6
wa. paid for wether, and Colorado year
lings brought 66.65.
The market on Iamb, was also Very .low
and weak. Buyers did not seem to care
whether they got any or not, and as a result
very little business was transacted. A.
high a. 67.16 wa. paid for a buncb ot
Colorado.. ,
The situation here, though, on sheep anrl
Iambs Is no worse than at other points,
Chicago having suffered a .evera , .lump
