CHICAOO , March 20. Wheat 'went up
with n spurt today because of the freezing
weather and snows since Saturday , and the
result was n gain of % c for May. There
was free selling at the advance , however ,
nnd after a nervous , unsettled session , May
closed Vic from the top , hut with n gain
nlnce Saturday of Ic. Corn and oats
word a shade firmer In sympathy , and made
a gain of about He each. Provisions ruled
dull , but firm , at somewhat higher figures
than Saturday's closing.
The severely cold weather told with con
siderable effect today upon the wheat mar
ket. All doubts about the condition of grow
ing wheat was set at rest after the market
opened. In fact , from the lively leaps that
portion of It which was exposed In the tradIng -
Ing pit took at the start , the operators de
clared It double-Jointed. Thu effect of the
prevailing cold weather did not affect all
constitutions alike. Some of the shorts were
rather Inclined to make light of It and re
fused to bo frightened Into covering. Others ,
however , were thoroughly alarmed nnd bid
from 5Sc to Mo for May wheat , as com
pared with G7c sellers at the close of the
market on Saturday. It reacted to 58ic
nnd rose again , reaching C9',4c. all within
the flnit hour. Trade during the time re
ferred to was active , with orders from out-
uitin nunrinrs in the south nnd southwest ,
where wheat was presumed to be most
Berlously frost damaged.
The actual extent of the Injury done to
wheat. It was generally conceded , could not
be deflntely ascertained until future warm
weather should reveal It. In addition to
the frost scare the receipts were light. Chicago
cage got 41 cars , Minneapolis 2G1 cars and
Dulutli 19 cars. The receipts on the corresponding
spending days of last year at the same places
were respectively 28S , 218 and OS cars. The
visible supply showed a smaller decrease
than the average of the previous guesses.
The decrease was 1,090,000 bu. , leaving 72-
310,000 bu. still In the visible supply. There
was a decrease for the corresponding time
n year ago of 812,000 bu. It was estimated
that the amount on ocean passage for the
week ending tomorrow would show nn In
crease of l,2r)0,000 bu. ; that and the Impossi
bility of estimating how much , If any , dam-
ngo had been done to wheat by the frost
made the market rather Incline to weakness
In the last hour of the sessloln. May sold
off to K8c , but rested at 58c to & 8c.
There was no llfo In corn except what was
Injected Into It from the wheat pit. That
was suniclent to add % c to Saturday's clos
ing prices at the opening , but the advance
could not be sustained. The price dropped
off to about the previous trading day's clos
ing price , but firmed up once more on the
moderate estimated receipts for tomorrow
and u decrease In the visible supply. May
opened at 37c , sold off to 37c bid nnd re
covered again to 37V4c , closing at 37'/&c to
37 We.
Oats were In fair demand and offerings
were only small. This , with the firmness
In wheat nnd corn , caused higher prices In
oats. May started Ic up from the last
quotation Saturday , sold at 31'Jc and then ,
Influenced by the Increase of 202,000 bu.
shown In the visible supply of oats , declined
to from 30c to 30 % c , rallied again slightly ,
nnd when the session ended 30c was bid.
The provision market was quiet , but main
tained an undertone of firmness , closing
with 7'/4e gain over Saturday's closing price
for May pork and lard and 5c higher for
May ribs. Lard was Influenced to some ex
tent by the premium of 20c sellers the
month brought over the May delivery.
Steady prices at the yards and the strength
In the grain markets helped the prices.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat ,
32 cars ; corn , 220 cars ; oats , 108 cars ; hogs ,
21.000 head.

STOCKS AND IIONDS.
Wall Street Siiectiliitors Think tlio Sclpn-
loniRo Hill Will Mo Vetoed.
NEW YOUK , March 26. The very general
Impression which now prevails that the
president will veto the seigniorage bill had
the effect of strengthening the Wall street
markets today und undoubtedly checked the
bear mpulses of those operators who take
the short side of the market on the slightest
provocation. The decline In sterling ex
change rates was also nn element of strength
In the speculative situation , Inasmuch as
It removed all likelihood of gold shipments
for the present. At the opening of business
on the Stock exchange a generally flrm
tone prevailed and the first prices made were
In the main a small fraction higher than the
closing figures of Saturday. Sugar , however ,
was an exception , opening % per cent lower
and receding Vs per cent additional ,
doubtless the effect of the bearish
view of the sugar market taken
by H. O. Havemeyer In a published
Interview. "But good buyers coming In at a
lower level , Sugar quickly moved up , gained
1 % per cent , the purchasing movement being
assisted by the announcement from Phil
adelphia that the appeal of the government
In Its suit against the Sugar trust had been
decided against the government. In the
final dealings the stock lost % per cent.
The general market was strong in tone In the
early dealings , and up to noon the _ tendency
of prices was upward , the volume'of bus
iness being at the same time very light. In
the general list a reaction took place after
midday , which was -merely fractional and.
of brief duration , and which was succeeded
by another upward "movement , In which
Lake Shore was most prominent , soiling up
to 131 , an advance on the last previous sale
of 2 % per cent. In the flnal sales a reac
tion of % per cent took place. Shortly be
fore the closa Ilichmond Terminal pre
ferred brolto 2 per cent and the general list
fell off a fraction , but In the flnal. sales
there was a partial recovery , and tno mantei
closed firmer.
The railway ami miscellaneous market was
strong tUroughout the day and mqst ot the
Issues dealt In show an advance on the day.
The Post says : There can be no doubt
that the general maintenance of remunera
tive rallro'ad rates has served to offset much
of the natural losses from trade depression.
Perhaps the most Imminent of all dangers
was that of competitive rate cutting , usually
a sure accompaniment of Insufficient busi
ness. Since misgivings In this direction have
had no little Influence , Wall street was right
today In taking a very favorable view of
last week's formal action of the trunk lines.
The manager's endorsement of Mr. Depow's
plan of pledged maintenance of rates , pro
viding for damages and exaction of heavy
penalties for violation of the pledges , was a
sign of promise by no means assured be
forehand.

MONDAY , March 26.
Receipts of nil kinds were only moder.Ue
today , but nbout up to the average for u
Monday. It was expected that the firmness
developed In the cattle market toward the
close of last week would result In heavier
supplies today. Disappointment In this re
spect nnd the receipt of rather bullish views
front the cast made buyers n trifle nervous
and they at once'proceeded to try to fill their
orders at rather firmer prices. This , with
active competition from speculative ship
pers , caused a slight bulge In prices nnd
some of the more desirable fat , light and
medium-weight steers , on which the com
petition was keenest , sold pretty close to n.
dime better than Saturday , while all grades ,
both heavy and light , ' showed substantial
Improvement as compared with prices pre
vailing the latter part of last week. It was
n good , strong , active , healthy market
throughout and n big Improvement over what
It has been recently. Ily noon practically
everything had changed hands.
As usual , only a small proportion of the
offerings were cows perhaps twenty loads ,
or about a fifth of the total receipts. The
strength and activity developed during the
latter half of last week were present today ,
and buyers for local houses were not long
In picking up what they could. Prices were
generally a shade firmer , but hardly quotably -
ably higher than last week. Only n few
veal calves were offered , and they met with
a ready sale at fully steady figures , and the
same was true as to rough stock generally.
There was little new In the stocker and
feeder trade. The demand was rather ac-

IIOQS Receipts were not heavy today , but
they were heavier than a week ago , and this
fact , together with the Indifferent tone to
eastern advices caused an easier feeling and
radlng was not particularly active on the
jasls of prices steady to a nlclcel lower than
5aturday. Owing to the smallness of the
supply Cudahy made no effort to got any
logs and other houses had It all their own
way , prices here being already too high for
profitable operations by speculators or shlp-
jcrs for eastern houses. The best light and
mtcher weight hogs sold up to $1,50 early ,
with fair to good loads , regardless of weight ,
argely at $1.45 anil ? 4,47'/j and Inferior
stuff and odds and ends at ? 1.40 and $4.4216 ,
The market seemed to weaken as the morn-
ng advanced nnd.the close was very dull ,
with a few loads 'still In first hands. The
popular price today was $1.45 , as against
(4.BO ( Saturday. On last llonday the bulk of

Are tell-tale symptoms that your blood is not right full of im
purities , causing a sluggish and unsightly complexion. A few
bottles of S. S. S. will remove all foreign and impure matter ,
cleanse the blood thoroughly and give a clear and rosy com
plexion. It is most effectual , and entirely harmless.
Chas. Heaton , 78 Laurel St. , Phil.i.-says : "I have had for years a humor In
my blood which made me dread to shave , as small boils or pimples wonld be cut
thus causing shaving to be a great annoyance. After taking three bottles of
my face is all clear and smooth as it should be appetite
splendid , sleep well and feel like running a foot race ,
from the use of S. S. S.
