A - leading bull trader was the principal buyer. Owing to small efferinga the price made a rnpld advance, selling tip to $M5 Within the first- half hour. The sudden apurt In May stimu lated trading In July and the price -r!f that option advanced to 93c. The market then weakened somewhat on profit taking. Juiy declining to Si'tttSJSc 1 his reartion, how ever, was aoon overcome by bullish news from the northwest. Advices from Minne apolis claimed a good milling demarid and aome buying for export. Receipts In the northwest were smaller than erther laat week or a year ago. While the general re port rrom the southwest waa - that the weather waa excellent for the imt-th of the new crop, a report from Kannaa stated that the condition of wheat In the western part of the state had deteriorated 20 per cent In the last two weeks.

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS Volume of Dealingi Largely Cart&iled tnd Price Movement ii Slnggiih. PROFIT-TAKING IS FREELY IN EVIDENCE Hamnra of Rig Deala la Railway Clr rlea Fall to l ift Valaes Money Starket Is F.asler la Tone. NEW YORK. March 21.-The narrowing limits of the speculation waa a fact clarlv defined by the day e events In the stock market and It Is generally believed that the monev outlook ia the factor making for restriction. Not only waa the volume of dealings largely curtailed, but the move ment of prlcea was sluggish and uncertain. The hope that yesterday a lale and strong rallv marked a resumption of the upward movement did not last longer than the first hour todav. Profit taking was freely In evidence and there was no substantial ilemnnd to follow the slight opening ad vance in prices. There waa a resumption of strength at aome polnta during the rest of the day. but It was In the less Im portant grade of stocks and failed to Im press sentiment In the same degree aa similar movementa in stocks of tYie first class. Neither were these evidences of strength well sustained, the whole market showing the effect of the diminishing de mnnd. Industrials and specialties matte up the largest part of the day's showing of strength. The southern Iron merger re port was revived In full vigor and the railroad equipment stocks were still re sponsible to the brilliant buainess prospects In that department of Industry. The un varying growth and expan.Mon reported from all lines of trade and Industry had a natural Influence upon the securities rep resenting different Industries covered by these reports. In addition there were many formulated rumors that dividend resump tions and Increases were In definite pros pect which eventuated In the Tennessee Coal dividend. The Corn Products i-tockj were In contrast to the rule and suffered from expressed doubts of the maintenance of the dividend. Justified as the market closed bv the announcement of a reduc tion. Sugar reflected the shutting down of Its principal refinery. In the Chicago I'nlon Traction stocks the obvious trouble was the action against Its franchises by the Chicago cltv government. In the railroad department, while the In terest waa small and the movements mostly abortive, the reports upon which they wera based pointed to projects of grandiose pro portions. Thus It was said that Pennsyl vania was taking over Atchison with the purpose of guaranteeing 5 per cent divi dend on that stock. There were vague In timations of an Immediate dividend to be forthcoming on Southern Pacific. The Chesapeake & Ohio movement also was connected with dividend rumora. These rumors proved to be not-very Impressive In face of the modest dimensions of the resulting movements in the stocks affected. The easier tone of the call money mar ket waa attributed to the passing of the effects of the government's withdrawals or deposits from the banks last week. It was said also that some large holders or securities were transferring their stocks on a large scale to London with a view to taking advantage of the lower monev rates over there to hold their securities In that market. The effect would he to relievo the local monev market of that much demnnd and It Is thought to confuse somewhat the estimates of the demand for our securi ties for foreign account. Time money waa appreciably llrmer and Interest ratea In that department were lifted a fraction. Sterling exchange, in response continued weak. The belief was strengthened that monev rates will shortly harden, and spec ulative ardor waa cooled accordingly. Something was made of professed fears or fore!gn complications growing out of Vene suelan affairs, but the growing wealt ness of the market was more general!? attributed to disappointment oe. scanty demnnd for stocks. The closing was weak and at the lowest of the day. Bonds were irregular: total sales, par value. ttfUS.non. rnlted States bonda were all unchanged on call. . .

Salesmen, however, were not willing to take off much, so that while trading was rather slow prlcea wera not a great aeal different from yeate.day. beef steers could best be descrlDed by calling them steady to a trlfia lower. As a general thing the more desirable grades commanded just about steady prices and aa high a. $j.2 and $5.40 was paid for pretty good ciitti.--. The common to me dium kinds were alow, with the tendency of prices downward, aome salea being aa much aa a dime lower. Owing to the largo number of cattle on sale and alao to the fact that buyers were rather slow to take hold, it was late before a clearance was made. The cow market was a trifle Irregular. In aome casea aaleamen were able to get steady prices, while In others they had to take off 6 to 10 cents before they could make a trade. In other worda, the ad vance of yosterday waa largely lost. The common to medium grades, of course, we-e the hardest to dispose of. the more desir able bunches selling In very much the fame notches thev did yesterday. Bulls were alao slow, with the feeling weak, but veal calves did not show much change. The demand for desirable gradea of atockcra and feeders was sufficient to hold prlcea on such kinds Jus about steady. The common, and particularly the common light stuff, waa rather hard to dispose of, and in spots may have been a trifle weaker. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS No. A. Pr. jc A. Pr.
