COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Wheat Went Up With a Rush antl Down with 11 Thud , EARLY ADVANCE DUE TO BETTER CABLES I'rcillctlon of Colder Wfiithcr ( Invo Addi tional Strength to Ilia Mnrket nnil on TlirM ; I'eutnrcn n Strong Im- | iroinpnt Win .Aliiiln. CHICAGO , March 2 , Wheat went up with B rush and down with a thud today , finish ing ' ,4o lower for May nftcr a bulge of % c. Tha early advance was due to better cables , the prospects of a cold wave and good buyIng - Ing , whllo free selling and the discouraging export outlook was responsible for a Ic de cline later , May closing but ' , Jc from the bottom , * May corn closed ! c higher , May rmts unchanged and provisions lower all \3tirid. Among.f > no or two Items In the early news of a bullftih character was ono of a some what different complexion nnd the latter gave the wheat market ltd opening drift. The Liverpool market was celled firm , with nn upward tendency at ' ,4d advance for spot wheat. The receipts hero and In the north west were comparatively light , but Now York wired that a banking firm there had ar ranged to ship $1,250,000 In gold and some long wheat was rushed upon the market as roon as opportunity offered. Leopold Bloom , who had bought yesterday some of the wheat he sold out on Wednesday , was the leader of a llttlo gold panic with which the wheat market opened. Ho sold through Clark- Callln ami others about BOO.OOO bu , , It was reported , within a few minutes of the start The buying orders wcro such that a gooi deal over three or four times the quantity Kohl out for Illooin was absorbed In tlio tlmo named and the cry was still for more Moro could not bo had nt the then prevail ing price , so bids wcro advanced from CO'.fcc to C0c , which was the range during the first few minutes. The price shot up to C0c nnd ft little later to C0c. A prediction of colder weather gave additional strength tp the market and before the wings of the budding enthusiasm could be clipped the price'of May wheat had advanced to C0c and Clc. There was a radical change after that , due principally to the eastern advices reporting the Impossibility of making sales of wheat abroad at the rates now current here , and May dropped Ic. The spring wheat markets of the northwest maintained the firm tone which had so long distin guished them , and sent dispatches regarding an Improved demand for Hour for export , which It was claimed that section Is now experiencing , but export clearances were not more than half what were reported yes terday from , the four principal Atlantic ports , and primary market receipts as a whole , In comparison with the shipments from the same , were quite heavy. The western markets usually quoted received 285,000 bu. and shipped 55,000 bu. Shak ing the whole of the above matters up to gether , the trader ? apparently concluded that they were moro promising for lower than for higher prices , and accordingly sold May wheat until It was down to COV o. The price declined to D9o for a moment , and the closing rate was COc bid. Some llfo was displayed In the market for corn , a fair trade taking place within n wider range of prices. The sentiment displayed was decidedly bullish and a very lirm market was witnessed , with the offer ings all day on the restricted order , and at no tlmo liberal. The demand was good and the limited offerings appeared to bring In-a good many small buying orders , the filling of which stimulated values. Today's re ceipts did not como up to expectations , and aided by this the market opened at yester day's close , and on an urgent demand and limited offerings sold up with a very llttlo reaction from Uo to % c , eased back Uc with the decline In wheat , ruled setady , and closed with May between the day's top and bottom figures. In oats there was a moderate trade and n firmer feeling , prices averaging higher , but after an advance of Vic the close was at about the same prices to a trifle caster than yesterday. The market followed wheat In Its fluctuations and May closed at the bet tom. Continued liberal receipts of live hogs at the yards In excess of the estimates , with a further decline In prices for thorn , wcro responsible for a weak and lower opening In provisions. Prices fluctuated within a moderate range during the first hour ot the session , with the tendency downward on some of tha private houses selling and a few stop loss orders coining In. The volume of trading was light. Later on the market ruled weak and lower on slightly Increased offerings. Some covering , by the short In terest subicquently caused a moderate reac tion In pork flnd ribs with lard ruling steady all day. There was , however , very llttlo trading. Compared with last night , May pork is 15c lower , May lard 2Vic lower and May ribs 7V&0 lower. Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat , DO cars ; corn , 475 cars ; oats , 170 cars ; hogs , 20,000 hea'd. The loading futures ranged as follows : Articles. _ | "Open. | 'High. | Low. | Cloao.

After that movement Is over Ilia claim Is 'Hint there will bu little doing until aflpr seeding. The largo movement has been encouraged by llie good weather and Improved roads for move ments. Prices have also been n little bctler , which cnuxod mure farmers lo sell lliat might have otherwise held longer. Mills are Increasing the production of Hour nnd ore necessarily con suming more wheat. The wheat iccolpls here during Iho week have been very fair , so that the reductions In supplies Is not expected to be large from Ihe regular olevalors hero.

The continuation of yesterday's trading was reversed on the Stock , exchange today and of the buying last evening no trace was to bo found nt the opening ot business this morning. ' Some reaction was natural by reason of sales to realize profits , but the offerings were too large to be ascribed to such n source. This selling movement was materially assisted by tlio announcement that $ l,2r 0,000 of gold had been engaged for shipment tomorrow and by the passing of the seigniorage bill , for the bears affected to regard the progress of this measure us Inimical to the stability of speculative values. The first prices were made Irregular , but generally below yester day's closing figures , Sugar being the weak est on the list and In the early trading car ried the other shares- traded In along with It In Us general downward course. General oral Klcctrle , Cordage and New Yorjc Central showed marked depression. A slight rally occurred shortly after 11 o'clock , which was followed by a decline In Lead , Sugar , General Electric and the grangers , bringing the figures down to a lower level than before. As the market moved Into the afternoon some of the shorts began to cover and thu decline brought In some buyers for the London account , which had the effect of causing a temporary ad vance In which New York Central , Sugar and Lead participated most largely , the grangers showing slight Improvement. Hut at 1:30 : o'clock the upward movement re ceived a check and from then until the close the prices moved down , the lowest figures of the day being touched In the llnal deal- Ings. Compared with yesterday's last sales the close showed a decline tanging from V4 to 1 % per cent. The railway and miscel laneous bond market was firm all day , The Evening Post says : After yesterday's rather excited advance In prices Borne re action was In order today , If only from precautionary - cautionary sales of yesterday's buyers to take profits. No doubt the gold engagement had some slight Influence , and possibly , too , yesterday's vote at Washington. The market sold off rather rapidly at the opening and then , with occasional slight movements In each direction , lapsed Into Its accustomed Inactivity. The closing was Irregular and weak , with most prices at the lowest. The engagement of $1,600,000 gold for export by tomorrow's steamer created great sur prise. Today's actual selling price of de mand sterling Is .still % o below the regular commercial shipping point , but It Is a full Ic higher than the rate at which the other ? 2,000,000 In gold was sent ouL'ln , ' December : The following are the closing quotations on .no leading stocks of the New York exchange today : The total Bales of Btockt ) today wrro 133,800 Rluin-H , Includlnc : American Sucar , 44.900 ; Ilur- IliiRton , 15,400 ; Chicago ( ins. 7,700 ; mxtllliTH & Cattlefeeilerv , 100,400 ; Ucncnil Electric , 8,300 ; LonlHVllla & Nashville , 4,700 : New York & New England , 3,700 ; Reading. 10,400 ; Hock Islam ] , 3,700 ; St. Paul. 24,700 ; Western Union , 6,600.

Dim's wcoUly review of trade will any : With no inoro dcflnlto Information than a week ago regard- lug tlio outcome of Internal rnvsnuo illhpulca , perhaps moro people have come to the belief that the eml will answer their wishes. Cer tainly rather moro arc taking limit * ! risks In business , especially In stocks. A nub- stantlal basis Is llie steadily growl-ig demand for Roods caused by gradual e.NfwuU'or. ' of stocks hold by dealers , nnd this has further enlarged the working foroo In .nan'ifacturors. ' Moro works havo. resumed or Increased hands or hours than- have .itoppsd or re duced , whllo numerous reductions In wages continue to lessen the purchasing power of those at work. The demand of distributors Is almost ex clusively for medium or low priced woolen nnd cotton goods , for $1.50 and $3 boots , and for shoes rather than boots. Some sales men and traders find Indications that stocks of the higher priced goods remaining on hand arc much larger than usual , the bankers judge that much of the demand for 'commer cial loans Is virtually for renewals to carry unsold stocks. In nil branches of the woolen manufacture the demand Is yet -far below the usual mark , but Is somewhat Im proved In worsted nnd dress goods , nnd lend ing -mills have been taking wool qulto largely , so that In three chief markets the sales , 4,397,200 pounds for the week , against 5,197.- 200 last year , Impart confidence , because scarcely any foreign wools have been Im ported for months and supplies are short. Western markets were also broader without Improvement In price. Continued weakness appears In prices of metal products , notwithstanding some In crease In nctunl business ; I'lttsburg offers steel bars here at $1.16 , which Is only 1 cent higher than nt the mill. Plates are offered at $1.25 nt tide water nnd beams are de livered hero at $1.35. Moderate orders for cast plpo have been placed , and some large structural contracts , with others expected. Kven In the Plttsbur region little over half the force Is employed and only 57 per cent of the Conncllsvlllo coke ovens are yet In operation. A few more furnaces are In blast ; southern pig Is weaker , and 5,000 tons , southern warrant , have been taken by English holders , who now have 45,000 tons. There are heavy transactions In lake ore at I'lttsburg nnd It Is said that with ore at $2.75 , coke at 85 cents , and wages reduced 20 per cent , many furnaces can make Iron at a profit , oven at present prices. Minor metals are weaker , tin In particular , because - cause of the fall In silver and disorganized eastern exchanges , and lead , because of ex pected legislation. Receipts and exports of wheat for the week have been only about half last year's , whllo there Ic a great Increase both In re ceipts and exports of corn , but scarcely any chnngo Is seen In prices of other products. Railway tonnage frotn Chicago was but 21 per cent less than last year , against 35 per cent for February * - Imports of merchandise still show a de crease of 40 per cent , whllo exports of do mestic products fey tlir'ee weeks are 5 per cent larger than last year. The buy'ng power of the people Is necessarily , restricted , with many works Idle and wages' inucli reduced , nnd ap prehensions for "tha , "future cause general economy. The most cncguraglng feature of the week's record * \a \ thei .continued decrease In number and Importance of failures. For the third week of February liabilities thus far reported ara only $2,880,340 , and for three weeks of the month , only $11,420,418 , of which $5,045,847 werorof manufacturing" $5 218,093 of tradjng concerns. The number reported in February , ls 1,200 , against 2,080 In January , nnd the.full . liabilities were. probably less'than flS.OOO.OOO , against $30- 946,497 In January , In November nnd De cember the nmount exceeded $00,000,000. For the past week the failures have been 204 In the United States , against 20G" last year , and forty-two In Canada , 'against forty-five last year , scarcely any of much Importance. IHlAUSTIltiKT 8 KKVIKW OF TKAOI3. Peculiar Condition * Murk the Uuslncss of the Country nt Present. NEW YORK , March 2. Dradstreet's to morrow will say : Storms and cold weather south and southwest have checked the course of business this week , while west and north west brighter weather had an opposite effect. No better Illustration of the neces sarily halting nnd Irregular movement of the volume of business nt the beginning of the Improvement may bo found than the record of the week with Its decreased volume of trade and renewed unfavorable reports from the south and the Pacific coast. In contrast with the more cheerful tone and Increased sales at Important cities In the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys and In the north west. Thus , while ndvlces from Providence , Philadelphia. Baltimore , Cincinnati , Nash ville , Birmingham , Galveston and San Fran cisco are less Inclined tlian In Into weeks to regard the situation hopefully , those from Uuffalo , Indianapolis , Louisville , Memphis , Mobile , Chicago , St. Louis , Kansas City , Omnhn , Milwaukee , 'St. Pnul nnd Duluth all report evidence of distinct Improvement. The general Industrial situation Is both bet ter nnd worse. There are thirty resump tions of factories reported , contrasted with two shut-downs ; 'wages ' have been reduced at thirteen establishments and fifteen strikes are announced. The latter Is a feature noticeable at Patcrson , N. J , , where 2,000 silk weavers have struck for higher wages nt a time when thousands are still receiv ing aid from the citizens relief committees. The general tendency of prices Is down ward , leading staples showing an advance In coffee of % cent , cattle and hogs , 10 cents per 100. Some varieties of leather have sold lower ; coal Is off 25 cents a ton In New Eng land ; wheat Is down % cent ; corn , VI cent oats , U cent ; cotton , V4 cent ; sugar , ' 4 cent ; pork , H5 cents a barrel , nnd lard , \i \ cent a pound. As compared with prices one. year ago , those for print cloths and lard are 40 per cent lower at this time , steel billets 30 per cent lower , flour , wheat nnd corn 20 per cent lower , whllo decreases within n year In prices of wool are 22 per .cent ; Iron , 15 ; cot ton , 12 ; sugar , 8 per cent , and coffee 4 per cent. Quotations for oats and for cheese are practically unchanged compared with ono year ago , whllo those for butter and petro leum are higher. Exports of wheat from the United States and Canada , both coasts ( Hour Included ag wheat ) , equal 2,972,000 bushels , against 1,730,000 bushels last week , 3,251,000 bushels In the week a year ngo , and 2,1)03,000 ) bushels In the week two years ngo. The extraordi nary Increase of 2,252,000 bushels of wheat afloat last week , reported by cable from Europe exclusively to Bradstrcet's , was duo to decreases afloat for the United King dom and In stoqUa- Odessa nnd Franco. Total stock of whcalMiero , In Cnnada , afloat for and In Europe'Increased ! ' 182,000 bushels lust month , compfirvilj with an Increase of 93,000 bushels In February last year , but contrasting with--'a decrease of 093,000 bushels In February , ! 1892 , and heavy de creases In that mpntlllln preceding years. There nro onl/'STS business failures re ported In the United ) States , compared with 235 a week ugo , 217 Irr the week a year ago , and 217 two years [ ngo , Indicating business embarrassments lucre reuuhcd u normal level much earlluc [ n the year , following a severe panic , than hud been supposed pos sible. At Chicago the volume of dry gods sales Is larger ; there nro moro buyers there nnd Increased demand ,1s reflected In sales of cotton , dry goods , shoes , rubbers , clothing and leather. At St. Louis like Influences have stimulated the distribution of dry goods , hats and clothing , whllo Kaunas City and Omaha jobber * make corresponding re ports , the demand for light hardware and agricultural Implements being specified at these points , llrnry Clown an Silver , NEW YORK , March 8. The present at titude of Germany In connection with silver foreshadows a strong probability of u con ference ot nations being convened at an rarly dnto for the purpose of .urlvmit rtt an agreement. Since tinIlriiiuel * confer- cnco Important change * have occurred In connection with the silver problem. India has suspended free colnngo and the United States government haa repealed the Sher man law. Sliver , therefore. Is now really Without n responsible sponsor and IK drift- inn about 111(0 a ship without n rudder , whllo It Is recognized almost everywhere ns essential that It should ho utilized as n money metal nnd regulated as such through International action , which Is now really the only solution. The greatest necessity , tor such an agreement at the tlmo of the Brussels conference was felt In this country owing to our especial needs , The situation hag since changed , however , so that all the European nations are at present much moro concerned In such an outcome than wo arc. The Initiative , therefore , will doubtless soon come from that quarter , and Germany , It would nppear , Is llkoly to take that action. The "resignation ot Mr. Gladstone ns premier of Great Britain , If the recent reports to that effect materialize , will ronTdvo Eng land's opposition to International bimetal lism. Such an agreement. If entered Into , will have n most Important Influence upon the world's finances , products ami secur ities by Infusing now llfo therein , and can not fall 10 cause a material enhancement of all values , besides make a strong metal link between all nations that cannot fall to bo productive of strengthening friendships and commercial and business alliances of every description throughout the world for the mutual benefit of all.

NEW YORK , March 2. Urmlstreet's finan cial review will say : Not only have nota tions tended higher during the past week , but the market as n whole has been broadened. It cannot bo said that the later values Involve a decided Increase In Interest on the part of the public or that European participation had assumed any real proper tions. Commission houses have been some what moro active , but the movement of prices Is no less dependent than before upon the purely professional element of the boardroom " " The essential difference room and "street. ence between the condition of speculation during the past few days and the market as It was for some weeks before Is that the trading , Instead of being confined to u few stocks In which manipulative Influences nro uppermost , lias tended to securities In different parts of the list and that railroad shares In particular have been rescued from the neglect to which they had been subject. The movement of prices , while not rapid , has been moro general and would apparently Indicate that leading operators who had been undecided and adverse to taking any position had to some extent resumed activity on the bull side.

Trading was rather dull antl dragged along * through nearly the dntlro day , und late sales generally showed u decline of anywhere from u shade to a dime. Nearly everything finally chanced hantls. In the cow market It was different. Sup plies wcro moro nearly equal to tlio demand and the thirty odd loads on sale met with a ready sale at steady to a shade firmer prices. Offerings of butchers' and canncrs' stock have been falling off and as there Is usually n very good demand for that class of stock at this season of the year prices have been well held up. The demand for veal calves continues good and prices uro quotably - ably strong. Good fat bulls are ready sellers at llrm prices , whllo the rough thin stock meets with an Indifferent demand. The stocker and feeder trade was without now features , lloth supply nnd demand were restricted and whllo the volume of business was small prices were not quotably changed.
