CHICAGO , March 12. Wheat closed
Blroiis today nt ntiottt a % c advance , after
during tlio morn-
iIvltir every Indication
Ins of n repetition of yesterday's disas
trous break. The oversold condition o (
the maiket and reports of good export
{ justness changed n very wenk market Into
n very strong ono In live minutes' time.
Corn ami ontu were Independently strong ,
corn closing from Ho to , ' , c higher anil
oats about He higher. Provisions advanced
from 7Hc to IGc.
Wheat opcneel close to yesterday's final
price of 72iic ! , the first sales being made :
nt 72',4c ' , but with a decidedly nervous
feeling"noticeable. . Foreign markets re
sponded willingly to tnu decline whlcli
took place hero yesterday. Liverpool started
with u , dccllno of from Id per cental foi
March nnd IViel reduction In May nnel
came In a little later with a further W
fall In March nnd VJd Iti May , while Mer
lin reported 1V4 marks decline nt the be-
ginning. With the exception of the colel
wave , which made shorts a little nervouf
anil resulted In iv small monetary advance ,
there was nothing In night to change Uu
bearish feeling which prevailed ycslordn >
and liquidation on n large scale soon com
menced , holders being further discouraged
by the belief that the nmrKet for the time
was without n bull leader. The result wuj
that May had sold down to 71'.4q ' before 11:3 : ,
o'clock , two or three lots selling as low
an 71o. Chicago received nineteen carloads -
loads of wheat. Minneapolis nnd Dulutl ;
received 172 cars , compared with 2US Inn
Friday and 2&0 the corresponding day ol
last year. The seaboard clearances wen
nrraln very light , Atlantlej iiorts giving the
total as equal to only 123,100 bu. In when !
ami Hour together. That was ono of tin
bearish factors which Icel to aeldltlomi
Belling when .May was bringing 72c. Aboul
uu hour from the end of the session , aftei
the price hael recovereel to 71ic .loht
Cudahy'H brokers were seen to be blddltif
for nnd taking wheat frce-ly at that price ;
and the scnSpers being short lo a man
sudden fe-ar of the ! consequences possible
after n straight Be per bu. decline nelzte
tlieini nnd in three mlnutos the price was
up to 722c. . The price hail another will
spurt In the last ten minutes , when H
was rumored that 100 boatloads had beet
Bold at Nrw , York for export. The price
cot up to 73e.on that , anel though , the fig
ures were afterwards corrected to rcae
only eight to ten boatloads as the oxten' '
of the day's business , the shorts could no
cot over their frlsht , nnel May was bring
Ing from 72io ; to 73e ns thu session closed.
Corn dragged during most of the ses
Blon and had no life In It until wheat bc-
cuMiiej no slronK near the close. Then traders
ors wok.up anel put some energy In the
market during the last few minutes. Bvei
during the extreme dullness , however
prices held stubbornly. Clearances were
483,000 bu. May opened unchanged ut fron
24Vie ! to 24 ! c. solel at from 2Ie to 2l\4c \
tlinii advanced to 2-lc , where is closed.
Oats was linn , especially so when the
weakness of wheat was taken Into consid
oration. There was a good demnnel fron
shorts and Home largo lines changed hands
Seaboard clearances were 120,000 bu. Mas
opened urn-hanged at from 17c to 17v4c. sole
at from IBTdc to 17c and advanced to ant
closed at IS'ic.
Provisions were consistently strong al
day Prices commenced with a moderate
/Iso on the small hog receipts , which have
been a factor all week. Packers were gooe
buyers und there- was considerable specu
latlvo support , the result being a slow
though steady advance. At the close Maj

NBW YORK , March 12. Uradatreet's Pl-
rmnclul Review tomorrow will say.
At the beginning of the week that has ended
speculative feeling liere was Inllucneed to a
considerable extent by the nervous feeling of
Ihe European markets regarding the outcome
of the demands maiH on Oreece by the powers.
This was reflected by renewed liearlsli selling
pressure and the temporary withdrawal of sup >
port , the market being particularly unsteady-
last Saturday. A somewhat better feeling as
serted Itrelf , lion ever , as soon as It wag known
that the reply of ( Ireere lo the iwwrrs would be
conciliatory , and thu fact that the London mar
ket showed renewed tlrmnees , together with the
Increasing probability that there would be n
long delay nnd an nlllmnte compromlre , had
Its effects. Shorts were accordingly covered In
various direct Ions and the market , though dull
and professional , exhibited a strong tone and
general lecovvrles. The speculation throughout
was , It must be admltlrd , of an exceedingly
uninteresting character. In fact , comparatively
little Impression was made by events that under
ordinary circumstances , and In a market poises.
Flng even a moderate outside Interest , would
have resulted In more or less movement. The
announcement that a financial house , already
largely Interested in Ilia anthracite Properties ,
had arranged the floating debt of the Lehlgli
Valley , and acquired control of the voting In
that corporation , caused an advance In Its flock
on the Philadelphia exchange , but R bud little
Influence on the other coal roads ,
New Jersey Central , In fact , was a heavy
feature of the market. Manhattan was depressed
In anticipation of the reduction of Ihe dividend
for the quarter from Hi to 1 per cent , but ral
lied on short covering und on the general opinion
that Uilj course was prudent and ultimately
beneficial In Its bearings. Bom * attention was
ralit to the rrnbablltty of setlon on the tarlft
t the approaching 'JtrirerMon of congress.

NEW YORK , March 12. Durlns Ihe greater
part of today the stock market was Riven over
to the Knmc pathetic condition that has char
acterized It for the pasl few days , accompanied
by tlio same undertone of firmness \\blch kept
most prices up. This firmness In the market
ended In a sharp advance In prices as soon
as any activity developed , which happened laic
In today's dealing. The Vnnelerblll Mocks en-
jnycd t.ic principal advantage from the buying
movement , Omaha showlrg an advance of 3
points and the New York Central Hi points , on
a large volume of trading greater In each case
than that In any other railway flock. T.ie
transactions In Omaha were only exceeded by
UIOPC In American Tobacco , the lecder In the
market. The large dealings In Tobacco contin
ued today , und the price received nn upward
Impetus from the decision In favor of the com
pany In the New Jersey suit , which sought to an
nul the charter of the company. Vnder buying
Incited by this nc M the stock advanced IVs per
cent. This rise Induced realizations under
which the stock lost Ihnj advance , and ralltod
qullc ferbly. Sugur"was comparatively neg
lected , and fell to slictlfV'ace ' | n the volume ot
transactions. The fljptu.ntlons | were within frac
tional limits nnd the close shown ] no change.
The Western Union cftme' Into prominence In the
buying of the lost 'hourjinnd was quite largely
bought , with a repuHJngoudvance of 2 points In
fie price. There vjn's Vi news regarding the
property , nnd the mbveifidnt seemed to be the
rcsull of professional calculations to equalize the
value of the stock , -till flhc basis of n 5 ) * r
cent dividend , wllh thatt'of ' Manhattan , on a 4
per cent dividend , - TJhq. latter continues lo sell
higher than Western Union. The effect of the
buying of Wtntern"'unlun was , however , to
stiffen the either Gould tilr'arcs. Missouri Pacific
being especially nffcCted'.ili ! Rubber proved to bo
about the heaviest pi > | litiin the market , and lost
1 per cent for the .common stock and li per
cent furithe preferre < \ . < ffje csterslblo sround for
the selling ot Ilubber.wni.the nqws of the clos
ing down of "some 'bfl"the company' * plants.
There'waa..quite a mirKTJl inquiry In IIR-late :
dealings , for the anthracite coalers. New Jcr-
kcy Central lost n fraction' In the 'early MenllnHs1.
Imt'Tindcr lhcrBUrir ! > rX-i f < 1 the later - buyingIt ;
i-osc 1VJ per cent. DcUiyjirc & Hudson also ad
vanced 1 per cenl. anuV Jleadlns n sharp frac
tion. The grnhgers and Fputhwesterns showed
"
a Etrong'close , with" friicllonal Kulns , although
the movement of tlielr prices was erratic durlns
the day. In the specialties , ISroolclyn Union
( las rpse 2Vtper , cent , and Consolidated Oaa 2
pc cent. There was nothing In the record of
the day to show that the trading was other thnn
professional , aside from some buying of the
Investment Blocks , which , together wllh buying
on bonds , had been going' on for come time. The
market Is still extremelyjiairaw and largely
Mibjeat to manipulative ; efforts.
The keen Investment 'demand for high grade
mortgages wa manifest In the day's bond opera
tions. In which many Issues , recorded substantial
Improvements. The markfet also was broader
than for omc tlmo with the speculative Issues
practically neglected. The Lchlga & Wiikeaharrc
loans was exceptionally weak , the consols de
clining 2V4 per cent , and rallying 1 per 'cenl.
The formation of a protective committee In the
Interests of Atchlson , Jewell county < fc West
ern nnd AtchUon , Colorado & Paclfle bond
holders Influenced a rise In fhesc Hens of 25 ;
per cenl , retpectlvcly. Other notable gains
were Rock Island l ts ; 3. per cent ; St. Paul ,
Minneapolis & Manitoba 4Us , and St. Louis
Southwestern Ists. Vf per cent. The sales were
JI.47S.OOO. Governments responded fractionally
to a moderate demand , which was most pro
nounced in HIP new 4s , The aggregate trans
actions wau SIS.MO.
The Evening Post's London financial cable
gram says : "The stock markets were stagnant
ngaln today. They opened Hat , but closed better.
The dealings were mostly professionals. Kaffirs
were dull. West Australian mines had the
best market. There was n further recovery In
HrnzllH. Americans were lifeless , but steady.
The settlement has been satisfactorily concluded.
Silver was lint on the paesngn by the Japanese
lower houic of a bill fcr a gold standard. There
are signs of n revived * continental demand for
gold. Tlif Rerlln market was quiet nnd the
Paris bouisc dull. "

ST. LOUIS , Mo. , .March 12. It Is geml-of-
flclally staled ( lint tlie motion to remove the
headquarters of the sovereign camp of the
Woodmen of the World from Omaha , Neb. ,
will lie carried at tomorrow's meeting of
the organization mid that St. Louis will
bo chosen. The sovereign commander hald
today :
"Wo have a large southern membership ,
and St. Louis would bo the most central
place wo could select. Ucaldea ( he officers
who would have to spend a great deal of their
tlrao at the headquarters , the sovereign
camp employs about thirty clerks. "
Another matter of Importance to HID order
that will bf ) taken up at tomorrow's session
IB the department plan , Ily the depart
ment plan is meant the subdivision of the
states Into districts and giving each district
a separata Jurisdiction , The sovereign com
mander says this plan will probably be de
feated. Tdday was spent In revising the
constitution. The section debarring liquor
dealers from membership was rcalllrmc ; ! . The
question of'admitting to the order an. extra
hazardous class , such as firemen , 'railroad
men , steamboat men and others. Is being con
sidered ,
ST , LOUIS , March 12. Seven delegates
representing the Pacific Jurisdiction of nine
states In the sovereign camp , Wooelmcn'n
circle. Ladles auxiliary of the Woodmen of
the World , bolted the convention being held
lioro and proceeded to effect a new organiza
tion by adopting a constitution and by-laws
and by electing supreme otllcers. The break
In the circle was occasioned by tlio sovereign
camp Ignoring tbo women of the west In
making up Us list of committees aud olll-
cers.
cers.On 'hearing that they bad been thus
Ignored the western women presented to tue
povorclgn camp a resolution asking for
separate Jurisdiction. Tills resolution was
promptly downed and the seven western
delegates walked out of the convention In a
body. The boltcro were Mrs. Helen South-
wick of Salem , Ore. , Mrs , Inez Filloon of
The Dulles , Ore. , Mrs , Carrie Van Orsdal of
I'endleton , Ore. , Mm , Annla Hawkins of
Albany , Ore. , Mrs. 0. A. Qrlmahaw of
Denver , Colo. , Mra , William Dolierty of

"That ID not the only spilt that will occur
In the organization , " told Mr. O. A. Qrltn-
shaw ot Denver , who was present at the
bolters' meeting , aulatltig the women l > >
perfecting the new organization. "Tue
sovereign catnp has suspended the entire
Pacific Jurisdiction of Woodmen of tbo World
from participation In the convention , and by
so doing lias very probably laid tlio founda
tion for a rival organization. "

elemanil wits urgent anel the trade very
active , with considerable strength develop
ing In values.
Small supplle-s may hnvo been the chief
e-auso of the activity and BtreiiBth In the
beef cattle market thin morning , util the
result was very satisfactory from a seller H
standpoint. Anything eUe.iit was rlgUt
around a dime higher and even the Inferior

$1.00 to $1.40 , the best being a long w.iyw
short of finished or ioed us compared
with the JI.SO qattle yesterday.
It was Just as nr-tlvo nnd strong In the
butchers' stock as In the ! nicer market and
the ten or twelve loads hero sold very fast.
Slop fed heifers solel at J4.10 , or a dime
higher , and the better dressvrt beef srnurs
of cows nnd heifers were Kcncrnlly MflOc
higher , with medium to common kinds fully
steady. Hulls and other i-uuRh stock we're
In at-tlvo request and strong , which also
described the market for veuls.
The demand for stockcrs und feeders was
Rood from all stqurccs unel the few loads
