CHICAGO. March 11. 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.

Tone of Ihc Market l Firm , with
VorjI.llllc lln liiCK .
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. Quite n large short Interest
has recently been formed In tills slock , probnbly
on the theory that the reduction of the dlvl.
dcnd of 4 per cent was bound to result In the
fall of prices. The fnll proved Inconsiderable
nnd the shorts have been seeking coxcr today.
The price rose 2',4 per cent to 851 , which wns
nbout the level before the announcement of the
reduction of Ihe dividend. The Vnndcrbllts were
Bomcwhnt In good demnnd , Omaha advancing
1V4 per cent nnd Lake Shore 74 per cent. Sugar
gained n point In Ihc face ot Washlnglon nd-
vices Indlcnllng n probable reduction ot the
amount of protection on refined sugar under the
new tariff. The rise In Ihe price of the stnplc
nnd rumors ot large , slocks ot ravr sugar In the
hands of the company , which will bo Increased
In value by contemplated tariff changes , were
contributing causes. Consolidated Ons slioncd an
Improvement of ! ' / per cent on the prospccls
Hint regulative legislation nt Albany will not
conflict with the company's Interests. The hlgli
price attained by Tobacco brought some rcnllz-
ilng sales , with n reaction In the price of 1 %
per cent , bul Ihe Block subsequcnlly recovered
% per cent. Missouri racltlc gained "n per cent
on the Increase of coinings Elioun In the llrst
week In March. A buying mo\emcnt wns de.
velopcd In the anthracite coalers also nbout ilc.
lively hour , due to rumors of further consolIJa ,
tlon of coal Intelcstp. The announcement ot
the St. 1'uul dividend nt nbout the same lime
awakened activity In the grangers nnd Bomb
semblance of animation wns Imparted to the
whole market. New Jersey Cent nil nnd IJeln-
wnro & Hudson each rose HI per cenl. Heading
V > per cent and Ihc grangers nnd soulhweslcrns
a fraction. The International shares fluctuated
nanowly In sympathy with the London maiket ,
ulilcli Ilrst bought and Ihen sold. The undertone ,
of firmness , which wns n fenlure of the mar
ket all day , was manifest at the close , which
wns stiong.
The bond mnrkcl wns more ncltve , with more
of the UBiinlly Inactive bonds rising sharply ,
notably Houston & Texas Central debenture Os ,
which gained 2 per cent. The general market
ruled Ilrm , wllh Ihe speculative Issues n shade
higher. Qovcrnmcnls were quiet , but decidedly
Ilrm , The sales were ? 3COOtf.
The livening l'o t's London financial cable
gram says : "Slocks opened slendy on bear
covering. Consols touched 11214. No public buy
ing took place , honexer , and n break In prices
followed , the closing being nt the worsl. nnd
consols dropping Hi- Americans were steady ,
but the close was under the best. llrazils wire
heller on Ihc rise In exchange. Knlllrs relaxed
sharply , as picvlously cabled. Financiers here
llilnto seriously of Ihc pollllcal sllunllon In Soulh
America. Details of the gold movement for the
week showed Ihe Imporl of JC < 21.000 from Aus-
Iralla , 19,000 from China , 10,000 from Soulh
Africa nnd 5.000 from lloumanln. and Ihe send.
Ing of 100,000 lo Soulh America. The Paris
bourse wns dull nfter a ilrm opening , nnd lha
Uerllu market wns steady. "
