principally to the favorable crop report a
from this country. The moderate Russian
shipments kept the market fprni going
lower, her II ii remained unchanged and
Huda rest h declined . It la figured S.'KK),
( bushels of wheat will be brought to Chi
cago for delivery on May contract If the
market advance heavily. The amount will
depend on how the market rune. At Ihla
time It la hard to are where thin wheat la
to come from, but Minneapolis and Duluth
and the miller there claim to own nearly
all of the contract wheat and to Intend to
hold It for use there. If the figured Wall
treet holdings amount to W.0io,ii0. and If
tola la not an overeatlmate, the ahorta will
auffer. The longs have not. however, an
easy thing, for they have a bad deal In tli
Mav. The trade hna dropped out of the
wheat and left It a flrht between the Wall
treet speculators and the big anort sellers.
The Uencrnl Oranencs company In
Lincoln aays tt has never seen the growing
wheat look better than It does now. The
earliest aown now covers the ground and
the late in Is making a good growth. The
crop Is a month earlier than last year,
the farmers any. and thrashing will be
gin July 1. The acreage Is the same as
last year. Allen Logan says the winter
wheat growth In Oklahoma. Kansas and
Nebrasku Is perfect and also good In Mis
souri, lie sals thre ia Meslan fly at
the roots of tha plant In come parts of
Nebia.sk;., but that It looks fine yet.
The visible aupiilv of wheat decreased,
I. l2.n0ft bushels. The clearances were 22.922
bushel. The primary receipts ore 6Hl,ii0
bushels against 679.;i22 last year and the
shipments are 247.nri against 333.0W. The
Russian wheat shipments are S,032,OuO
ngulnst 1.S2,0ii0 last week and l,704,Ocio last
year. The world's shipments are 9,744.i8i0
against 8.37S.00O last week and 9.Z!2,0 last
year.
The visible supply of corn decreases 108.
ono bushels and the clearances are 427.SS3
bushels. The primary receipts are 8t)6.i0
against 2!,of and the shipments are ftm.Oiai
against 2!iS,0OO bushels. The world's ship
ments are 2.2B.niiO ngalnst 2.7S1,tiO last
week and X.300.0UO Inst year. The Russian
orn shipments fall to 60.000 from '4.ono
laat year. The lake navigation Is predicted
to open earlier than fr forty yeara. The
15.nno.0no bushels of oats at the head of the
lakes will be forced to a sale. The re
ceipts are expected to fall of very sharply,
as soon as the rates are moved up 6c and
7e. April 1. Chicago fears there will he
very little Indeed come that way. It Is
bellved the western farmers will not sell
sny corn at this higher rale ns long as
live stock Is selling so high and will feed
their remaining surplus. The rush to get
corn out before the restoration of rates Is
shown In the receipts at Chicago of 646
cars and 132 in St. Louia.

Prleea on Board nf Trade.
CHICAGO, March i7.-Favorablc weather
for the giowiiiK crop was tne main
factor In a Weak wheat market ncre
today, t the iv uovu tne .May ana
Juiy options were off ',c. is ccrn is
down vav- oata show a loss ct g
V. Provisions are almost uncnanged.
Weakness prevailed in the wneat pit
throughout the entire session, influenced
by lower prices at Uvetpool the market
here opened weak. July oemg off "
to "ictiv. at !c to 9o"c. .May was down
'nfiV. at $l.U- to i.io',. Tne principal
!. n tcr the weakness of foreign gram
markets was found in numerous advices
from America, the great majority of which
told of excellent progress oetng niaoe by
the fall mwn crtip wm attei tne open
ing a fair demand for May developed,
shorts being the best buyers. With small
offerings tne prices advanced to iLUf.
tn sympathy July sold up to W",r A re
port from Kansas City stating that high
winds In Kansas, were creating some ap
prehension, had considerable influence in
starting this slight upturn. With tins
one exception, news p the day contained
little comfort for bull traders. Many ad
vices were received giving optimistic re
ports of the corvflitlons m winter wheat.
These were reinforced by news from the
northwest telling of the beginning of
seeding operations in that section. In
addition rash markets were dull and easy.
Ijite In the day July declined to c and
May to $1.12. The market closed at al
most the lowest point with July nl W,
roc. May closed at $1.12'. Clearances
of wheat and flour were efjual to 47.2"3
bushels. The amount on passage decreased
64S. bushels, and the visible supply de
creased l.l?S.JOf bushels. Primary receipts
were 62,000 bushels, compared with 679.H0
bushels a year rtgo. Minneapolis. Dulutn
and Chicago reported receipts of Mft cars,
against 607 tars last week and 649 cars a
ear t ).
Llbeial receipts brought out liberal sell
ing of corn by cash houses, resulting in
a weak undertone. Enormous primary re
ceipts also helped to depress values.
Hhorts were principal buyers. May opened
c. lower, at 4V to 4V. sold be
tween 4X,c and 4!V. and closed at 4Vtf
V. lineal receipts were 646 cars, with 61
if ocnlrnct grade.
Influenced by liberal receipts ami weak
ness of other grains the outs market was
weak, the entire session. Trading was
very light. May opened a shade to fr
"(O lower at 3oi to 30V. sold between
Hoc and 30V find closed at 3"V. lxical
recelnts were 319 cars.
A decline of 5c In hog prices had a de
pressing effect on provialons early In the
day, but the market soon became quite
steady on covering by shorts. At the net
close pork was a shade higher, at $12. W.
Lard and ribs were each unchanged, at
$7 157.17V4 and $.97'4. respectively.

NEW YORK. March 27.-An extraordi
nary play of quotations In a large number
of low grade Industrials and specialties
kept tip some appearance of strength Mr
the greater part of today's session of the
Stack exchange and served to disguise the
realising that was going on In the more
substantial storks. But the market gave
way late In the day and fell sharply to a
low level. The early strength kept alive
the hope that the great resiliency developed
last week on the mid-week decline was a
herald of the strong resumption of the ad
vance. There was a generally confident expecta
tion amongst professional operators that
the dubious points In the speculative situa
tion had been forced Into the background
by last week's demonstration of the resist
ing power of the market. The halting
tendency which dropped Into the course of
the day's trading was not clearly traceable
to any change In conditions or outlook, but
the disinclination to follow up last week s
recovery with further large buying was
very clearly defined. The miscellaneous
collection of stocks which shot up from
time to time were not the subject of anv
Information, either special or general, to
account for them. The absence of explana
tion and the lack of any common ground
of Interest between them were the cause
of some suspicion of the movement. A list
of twenty-five to thirty might he compiled,
many of which rarely appear In the trans
actions, which were lifted from 1 to nearlv
8 points. Some Influence Is given to the
money outlook as the factor checking ac
tive speculation, especially with the April
1 requirements, now near at hand. Quar
terly payments on that date will add to'
the normal monthly requirements. The re
newal of dpmand for gold on the part of
Paris, which came into force In I,ondon on
Saturday, Is regarded as significant and
modifies considerably the prospects In the
exchange market. Any tendency for gold
to move to New York from London would

CATTLE There was a moderate run of
cattle here this morning and with a good
demand the market here ruled active and
stronger on anything at all desirable. Buy
ers started out in good season ana an eariy
clearance was rande. '
About the usual proportion of the offer
ings consisted of beef steers and With a
normal demand the market on the more de
sirable grades could safely be quoted strong
to a dime nigner. wnen 11 cHme 10; inu
common and part fat stuff there was not
much Improvement, but still the prices paid
were fuliv as good as those in force the
latter part of last week. Most everything
was but of first .bands by the middle. of, the
forenoon.
There was also considerable life to the
cow trade so far as the dealrable grades
were concerned, and such kinds, the same
as steers, sold strong to a dime higher.
The common and medium class of cows,
however, were rsther neglected and the
prices paid did not look any more than
steadv with the close of last week. Trad
ing was active on the good stuff but slow
on others.
Bulls, veal calves and stags did not show
much of any change In either direction.
A large proportion of the receipts con
sisted of stockers and feeders, but specu
lators all seemed to be anxlons for sup
plies and as a result the market ruled ac
tive and strong on anything at all desir
able, both light and heavy cattle selling to
Itood advantage. Common kinds of all
weights, however, were slow sale the same
as usual and showed no Improvement over
the latter part of last week. Representa
tive sales:

HOGS Receipts were not excessive at
this point todav. but Chicago had about
40.0U0 hcsil, where the market was reported
slow ano weas c c iwrr. 11111, m
course. . had a deptes.ing effect upon the
trade st this point and prices eased off a
little. The esrly market was only a shade
lower than last Saturday, but only part of
the packers were bidding those prices, and
after some of the more urgent orders were
filled the market grew weaker and closed
very dull. Owing to the fact that aa'es-
men wanteo tne morning prices u was
rather late lfore s clearance wa. made.
The bulk Of the hogs went from 32. In to
S.V15. with the prime loads mostly from
15.15 to S5.17V Representstlve sales:

SHEEP There was quite a liberal run
of sheep here thl- morning, but the de
mand was aiso of liberal p opot lions, and
consequently an lctlve and Bteady market
was exnerlenced. Hovers all seemed to be
anxious for fupplies and took hold with
mote lire tnan tney nave on most oays ni
late. That beli.n the case, It did not take
long for most everything in sight to chsnga
hands. As high as Si .ti was paid for ewes,
S5.75 lor wethers and 63! fur yearllngr. Ii.e
qualltv of the offerings as only talr. so
that the sales mi paper do not look very
high, but, considering quality, they were
considered very eatlstactory.
The demand for lambs waa also in good
shape and the prices paid were 1 un
steady. There was nothing offered, how
ever, good enough to bring over $7.25.
