CnrTAdO , 111. , March 7.-Wheat turned
Btrnng this aflernoon on a rumor that the gov
ernment had decided to sell bonds for the pur
pose of replenishing the supply of gold coin.
The si I null us continued lulls etfects even after
the receipt of a contradiction. The market
early had been very weak , but the last quota
tion wai ' | 3 higher than yesterday's closing
prices for .May. July closed ! ( c lower.
Torn was dull but llrm and Improved ' f ! .
rtovlslnris suffered declines amounting to'25
In pork , ITi'iC In lard and 7c ! } In rlb.s.
Nearly everything seemed to bo against the
price of wheat at the start , the weather was
sprlrig-liko all over the country , cables were
lower and weak. The New York slock market
was again demoralized by the high premium
for money from 25 to 50 per cent and the
amount on ocean passage Increased H1H.OOO
bu , In addition to all this there was an in
crease of over 500,000 bu. Ill the stock of con
tract grade during the lastwenk. lJndorlhc.su
conditions the trade was off and the tendency
was downward. On the decline short * wcro
fair Imycis and there was some Investment
demand , but the selling pressure was too
strong for this demand to check the weakness
tndch.
The Impending government reports of storks
in farmers. ' hands nml uncertainty attend-
itnt It were also distressing factors. It was
while matters were In this condition during
the la.st hour that the sharp rally wns caused
by the H-port aflerw arils denied that the gov
ernment would Issue * 50,000OOO gold bearing
bonds The opening was about from V to 'in '
lower , ruled easy and then advanced sharply
5.0 for May and ' for July , receded again ,
recovered and the closing wax slightly within
Ic of the top.
Corn traders wern again dl'-cii'.s.liig HIP pos-
fdhllllv of the government supply report to ho
Issued Into this week showing a less quantity
In farmers' hands limn had been supposed.
On this talk there was some display of buying
by a few well known houses. With this action
and the fact that the speculative offerings
were but moderate , the loc.il shorts weie dis
posed to cover and prices advanced &o , subse
quently ruling easier. The fact was mildly
emphasized by some favoring the bull side
that the local stocks of contract grades de-
crenM'd 4HH 4 bu. for the week ami are now
67,005,205 bu. The quantity on ocean pas-
Biieo also o.iJilliltod a decicnso of HO.OOO bu.
There was a moderate trade In oats , nnd
prices held within a range of ? uc. Closing
mles were lit about the same as ye.sterday for
Mny , but a net lo.s.s of Wo on September.
1'rovlsloiiH were considerably unsettled
today , but th ! average was decidedly lower.
The market opened weak on slightly Increased
receipts of live hogs at the yards , realizing on
Mop loss orders by the commission houses , the
uneasy feeling In Wall street , line open
weather and the fear of n strike by the city
switchmen employed by the railroads center
ing In Chicago.
The shorts were the principal buyers. They
quickly nb orhi'd the olt'erlngs and ( lie mar
ket advanced rapidly. After a slight reliction
a feeling of hte.idlne.ss prevailed. The volume
of trading was light.
Intimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat ,
120 cars ; corn , 100 car j oats , 120 curs ; hogs ,

NKW YOHK , March 7. The severe stringency
in the money market call loans having been
sold as high as 'i piy cunt per dlom un.l Inter
est equal to about 52 per cent per annum led
to a fresh attack upon the Industrials In the
trading today. American Hugar Itoilnln ?
broke G'j per cunt to UOS mid the others
yleldud unywliero from 1 to 3 i nor cent.
Many holders were alarmed by the high rates
exacted for money and bold out.
The railroad. lUt wus quiet and held ro-
markahly firm , the only notable exception
havln { boi-n New Knaland. When the pjiiulnr

holders an extra casb dividend of 1(1 ( | > T cent.
It Is stated that after paying all tlioso dlvl-

There wain lot of buying for the long ac
count an well as to cover short contracts ,

wo days supply showing an Increase of 3,600
attlo , 3,200 ho s and 2,501) ) slit-op as com-
tared with the llrst two days of last weok.
The supply of cattle was hardly up to dealers'
xpeotallons , and the general quality of the
IForlngs was decidedly Inferior to that of
londay. There was an Indifferent tone to
astern advices , and a corroip.indlng lack of
nteresl on the part of sp.-culatlvo buyers.
neat houses all wauled some cattle , and as
lie receipts were none too liberal there was a
easonable amount of activity at the opunlng
nd on the handy killing grades at least prices
Mled about steady. Other grades wore weak
o a dlnn lower than Monday , The market
atlier weakened with the advance of the
lornlng. and closed verv slow , lc ( ) to 15o
> wer , with quite a few cattle still unsold.
I'ulr to eliolro cows and lielfers sold freely at
ully steady prices , thn oirerlngs In this line
ot being over a fourth of the antlre supply ,
'onimon and canning grades , however , had
radically only ono buyer , and prices con-
Inue on the decline. Tlu're was no particular
hango In the market for rough stock , and the
alf trade was moderately brisk and fully
teady.
There was hardly enough doing in the stocker
.nd feeder line lo make a market , ( lood to
holce , well bred , lleshy fe--dets are wanted
t fully steady prices but other grades are
ard to move , even at considerably shaded
u-leos. Hepresentattvo sales :

oTin ; llii.1 : : To-day's cattle market had the
ippi-araiico of extreme quietude , but a firm
one permeated the market. There was a
urge sale of Kansas cattle at ? 0 and a few
ransfers were made at from { 5.50 toJ5.85.
Not many of the olVorlngs , however , were good
notigli to bring more than ? 5 , common to fair
1,000 to 1,350 Ib. sloers and cons and hulls
constituting the hulk of the .supply. Ituyers
were looking for pretty full receipts for \ved-
icsday mid Thursday and were Inclined lo
lour the market. C/uolatloiis ranged from
11.75 to St. 25 for poor to choice cows , heifers
mil bulls , from J2.5O lo i(4.0 for Muckers ami
feeders and 13.75 M $0.25 for common to extra
.Iressud beef and shipping steers.
Tliefc was a serloin ilrag In prices for hogs.
So fur us local packers were concerned there
ivus practically nodcmund , and although east-
urn buyers wanted a fair number , they , too ,
insisted upon buying the slulT cheaper. The
market was oil' any where from lOc to 20c.
( ioo.l lard hogs .showed a decline of not rnoro
than lOc , but common light and light mixed
were not easily moved at a reduction of from
15c to 20c. There was ono sale at in. 35 , and u
few at fs.25 to * 8.27' ' . Hut prices below JH.20
carried oil' most of the ho s. The elo o was
extremely dull at from J7.40 to * 7.9i ) for light ,
from 7.75 to Ss. 15 for mixed and medium ,
and from f7.85 to $8.30 for heavy.
The sheep market was less Hrm than re
cently. At the beginning steady prices wore
laid , but more sheep arrive ! than any one
lad counted on and even the llrst estimates
were about 20,1100 head short of the actual
arrivals. HUH there was no serious decline ,
as high as $5.75 being paid for a small lot of
fancy IGl-lb. sheep and a sale or two of lambs
making at $0.50. The greater part of the sup
ply , however , went at from $4.85 to $5.25 for
sheep and at from $5.75 t. ) iO.2 1 for lambs.

KANSAS CITY , Mo. , March " . The Ka"Siis
City Ministers' alliance , composed of all the
loading preachers in the city , in a meeting
declared for certain funeral reforms iu the
following language ! :
"There should bo a reform In the matter of
expense at funerals. At all our funerals there
Is too much display. Kxpenslvo llorul offerIngs -
Ings should not b : > used. Khnvors are alvvuys
In place , but two carriages full of lloral do-
slirns , 'Oaten Ajar , ' 'Cross and Crown , ' etc. , Is
carrying It too far. A Mmplo boquot of

"We ought to speak out boldly and unitedly
against Sunday funerals. The minister never
bus time to hold a funeral service on Sunday ,
and tin' people who have tholrdead to bury
ought to consider this anil cheese some other
day. 1'orsons engaged In business have the
funerals of deceased friends arranged on Sun
day In order to lose no time from business.
Our people should get Into the habit of h Idlng
their funerals some other day than Sunday. "
