Wheat closed very wcnk today nt a decline of lo. Disappoint ment over the reception given to the govern ment flputcs on crop reserve mmle a weak opening nnd the market was pounded hard and persistently nil day. Corn nnd oats were surprisingly strong. Corn closed un changed nnd oats showed only a trifling de cline. 1'tovlnlons closed 2',4S3e ' "higher. " Wheat opened wcnk , although at substan tially yesterday's closing price. The gov ernment report of the quantity of wheat In farmers' hands 'March ' 1 was treated by the trade at homo and abroad with thclr"ustial contempt for governmental agricultural statistic * Although the quantity on farms was estimated nt only SS.OOO.OOd bu. , the speculators were free Hollers of Mny at the opening at from 74 < 4c down to 74Mc , and be fore buyers enough could be found to absorb serb thn quantity for sale It ' .iad declined to 73i&73'iu. The mnrkct then took on a better tone on a reported decline In consols nnd prcdlctloni * of a cold wave In the southwest - west , where such n thing following the wins would do considerable damage. The buying was sutllulcnt lo cause n reaction to n shade above 74'iie. or the point the mar ket closed at yesterday. Then It turned weak again. There wns no ui'piirent reason for It , but liquidation on u laige scale com menced and continued for the rest of the session. The market yielded slowly for n while , but iwheii It once again got below 74c for May It < wcnt bumping ; down one- sixteenth stupa with a good deal moru ra- jildlty and landed nt 7t'.tW73'/lo : ' about 12:15 : ji. in. Some of the lines held by the thick nnd thin bulls went Into the ravenous paws of the bears , when the pi Ice turned under "He. AH far as domestic nuws wan con cerned It WHS bearish , but not enough so to CIIUHO Htieh n break. Chicago receipts ) wcro 11 cars , ngulnst fifi on the . . . corresponding . . . . . day - - - - of last year. Allnnc-apolla and puiuth re- ported 323 cars , against 317 n week ace nnd fco n yuiir ago. New York icporlcd Ifi tends'of"w'iH'iit sold for export , principally May-June tMlnment. About DD.COu bu. wore kohl here to domestic millers. The market was under bear control to the end , thn brokcn-beiirlc'd bulls having abandoned liopc. Afler u long struggle around 73c thn iirlce broke In thu last ten minutes of the m-salon tn 72' ' , < i > 72c , and It closed without rallying from that. Corn held up remarkably well In great con trast to Its action yesterday. Prices held stubbornly even when wheat was In nn al most panicky condition. Trading 'Was only modeiately active and traders were encour aged by the pmall receipts and largo clcar- IUICUH to accept all offerings. Clearances were S < C > ,000 Int. May opened a shade higher at HH'iC. sold between 2lfJT24l c , closing steady at 24V f21'/c. Oats was fairly active nnd easy at the opening , although prices were higher. There \utn considerable pressure to sell during the morning , but later a better demand sprang up and prices recovered part of the small decline. The action of corn was a Hteady- IIIK Influence. May opened a shade higher nt from 17Kc to 17'lc sold down to 17c and closed at from 17c to 18c. Provisions wcro Ilrm on a comparatively small tiadc. An opening advance due to the small hog receipts was lost during the early weakness of wheat , but bolt.i foreign nnd domestic houses were good buyers and the dccllno was more than iccovered , . prices closing elosc to the opening. At the close May uork wns 5c higher at $ S.3 , May lard nbout 2Uc higher at $ l,12"4if [ 1.15 , and Mny ribs 5e higher nt $1.13.

NEW YORK , March ll.-Todny's stock market wns remnrkablo for Us firmness of tone. In fnco of the tpccinc dullness of the proceedings. With the exception of a slight awakening to animation about tha'delivery hour , the trading was almost dormant. The volume of the dealings was not only email , but w g distributed very meagerly. a few leading chares absorbing all but n small portion of the trading. There nre about 2JO shares whose prices nre quoted nnd transac tions In which nre recorded on the Block ex change. Of this number there were only ilfty- four In which there was dealings In full share lots today. The totnl number of shares sold nmounled to less than DO.OCO , nnd over tO.OOO of these were shares of nfleen leading slocks. In view of the very favorable condlilon on the foreign exchanges today and the subsidence of uneasiness lest the Crelnn quesllon should em broil the powers , It Is necessary to look for some other explanation of today's slngnallon than a European war scare. There nro doubtless sev. cral causes still operating to restrain specula tion , the most potent being the cautious con- servnllsm born of n long period of reverse nnd depression. There ts nlso a disposition to wait for the assembling ot Ihc new congress In extra session nnd for U to manifest Us chnrncler and Inlenllons. There Is n feeling In Wall street that the extra tension m y pro\e lo be long drawn out nnd Ihe senators' attitude toward n tariff bill Is felt to be an uncertain quantity. Man. hnttan wns the leader of Ihe market today nnd showed decided strength , which was probably duo to coverings.
