CHICAC1O , March 31. The longs In wheat
were tliorotiRhly disheartened by a fur
ther sharp break In that market today ,
May closing at a lie decline. It stood
within ' ,4,0 of 70o at ono time. Weak cables
and a i > oor cash and export demand started
liquidation , which continued almost with
out cessation nil day. Other grain and
provision markets were comparatively
steady , corn closing a shade hlRher ; oats
Were unchanged and provisions 2'.4c ' lower
to 2V c hlslicr.
Liquidation of long May wheat began
with the tap of the opening bell and con
tinued all forenoon , Dy 11SO : o'clock the
prlco of that option had declined to 70HS1
70',4c. ' compared with 71J4Q > 71$4c $ at the close
of the market yesterday. H opened at
from 71c to 71Hc. While May was making
the decline of % o referred to , July lost
only He. July could at any time during
the decline ho sold In considerable quan
tities at the bid price without further
depressing It , until a greater concession
was forced by the dllllculty of finding
buyers for May. The additional weakness
of the market was duo merely to the con
tinuation of previous bearish conditions ,
weakness abroad and no appearance of any
buying by foreigners , notwithstanding the
dally Inducement offered hero of lower
priced. Liverpool quoted u decline of % d at
the start and a further loss of Hd later
In the day. A private cablegram from
Liverpool reported arrivals there of car
goes of white wheat as weighing that mar
ket down this morning. Minneapolis and
Dil lilt h receipts were 391 cars , compared
with 333 a week ape and 237 last year.
The receipts here were 14 carloads , kx-
jiorts of wheat and sugar from Atlantic
ports were equivalent to 320,000 bu. New
York reported prominent firms there sellIng -
Ing wheat futures on cable orders and
the Belling of long May wheat held for
foreign account was a feature of the pit
transactions here at the opening. There
was a rumor near the end of the session
that the decline In price had awakened a
little export Inquiry at the seaboard and
that twenty-five boatloads had been worked.
The most that could bo confirmed , how
ever , was two boatloads. Milling demand
at Chicago was satisfied with 21.000 bushels ,
The decline In May to 70M70Vic : ! | was fol
lowed by n slight rally which took It to
700'iC , and that by another ducllnc to 70'/tc ,
and recovery to 70Tic at the close. July
got at low ns C9Tic to C9' c , and closed at
.
Corn held remarkably firm , In contrast
to the weakness In wheat. The fluctua
tions were Insignificant , but the tendency
was for the most part In the direction of
Improvement. Wet weather west and good
of a continuation of the same ,
ght receipts 10.1 cars and good exports
713,000 bu. all tended to hold prices uti-ady
nt a ahnde above yesterday's prices. May
opened a shade lower nt 244c , sold to
Zl % < fi'luc. and closed steady at 214c. ;
Considering the weakness In wheat , oats ,
like corn , was relatively very firm , although
there was scarcely anything to Influence
ptich n tendency. No news Items developed ,
bushiest ) was dull and prices confined tea
a narrow range. May opened nt 17V c to
K'/ic , sold to 17'lc and 17ic , and closed at
17'4c bid.
Provisions opened rather weak because
of fairly liberal receipts of hogs at west
ern points. At the decline with which
trading commenced there were buying or
ders enough to prevent any further loss.
and near the end , when wheat had got
a turn for the better , the decline was all
recovered and a small fraction to the
good. At the close May pork was 2&c
higher at tS.K/iS.S ! ! ; May lard , 21c lower
at $ I.22'A ' , and May ribs a shade higher at

NEW YOIIK. March ai. The bears succeeded
In effecting quite a notable break in the mar
ket today In the last half hour of trading. The
thort Interest , whose lines are reputed to have
been greatly extended since the transmlssouti
decision of the supreme court , was palpably un
easy all day on account of the marked resump
tion of strength In the
markel yeslerday. A con-
llnunnce of the Improvement was evident at the
opening this morning , In spite of the decline In
prices on the London exchange , und a general
advance occurred , nol exceeding a fracllon In
any of Ihe ucllve shares , but reaching a point or
over In the cases of Canada Soulhern , Canadian
Pacific , HlK Four , Susquehanna & Western pre
ferred nnd Eric firsts. New Jersey Central con
tinued under heavy pressure to FH | | . The benrs
continued to center their attack on'this stock
all day In the determined and systematic at
tempt to stem the npwunl course of prices
From this stock they mnde Incursions lnti < vari
ous fields. The flould stocks were attacked as
a group , Manhattan falling 2 points nnd Mis.
sourl Piicllle und Western Union 1 each. This
Induced some realizing sales , but the market
soon recovered nnd resumed Its upward ten
dency. It was afteil delivery hour when an un
expected n'llliiK movement set In In Delaware
& Hudcon , the only explanation offered belmc
the general depression existing In the coal trade
The sales were not very large , but under u
persistent bombardment of smull lots , the price
went down by leaps und bounds , the de.
cllne reaching B % to 100i. Tlie stock
only reacted a fraction from the lowest. Lack-
muinnu broke 3'i points In the last few min
utes on three Bales of a total of 700 hhnnn. The
Heading stocks escaped any very noticeable ef-
feet of the raid , except the llrst preferred
which declined 1U per cent. The heavy telllmt
In New Jern-y Central was klmulturieuuily re-
sunied and the stock wan sold down to 77 , show
ing n decline from the ton of 6 points. Just ut
the close It rallied a point. Much was made )
also by the benrs of the statement by Senator
Cullom , chairman of the committee on Inter
state commerce , that there was no chance for
the pvinner of the pooling bill nt this cession
of congress. Tlie whole market sold off , the
losFeH reaching 21i per cent In the cnte of Ilur-
llnglon anil Hock liland and 24 ! per cent In
Omaha , Declines of n point or over were
Hliown In Sugar , Chicago Oas , General Electric.
Pacino Mall , Tennessee Coal , Leather preferred ,
Western Union , Northwrotern , St. Paul , New
York Central , Cnnadu Southern , Cleveland Clr-
rlnnatl , Chicago & Kt. l.ouls , Atchlson preferred -
ferred and Louisville & Nashville. Tobacco
fluctuated widely on manipulation , rMng tv.
per cent , losing Hj per cent and rlslnir again
IV , per cent. Consolidated Oas ami Uikc Shore
rom 74 und li per cent , respectively , but re
acted 214 and ) % per cent , respectively. Tlie
cloning was weak , net lottes averaging n point
In the standard ( hares , '
Trading In bonds WUB In small volume but
firm tone was manifested nnd most of the
lending Issuea made slight progress toward a
higher plane. Saltn. $835,000. ( joveminent bonds
continued to dltplay strcnKtli , but the higher
rangr failed to ellct | offerings nnd transactions
were restricted to purchases of $11,009 of the
old 4 .
The Evening Post's London financial cablegram -
gram says : "The stock markets were lifeless
today. They opened dull and firm , with no ni > - 14

the close was weak , there being no support.

collapse Is of absolutely no significance. Money

nine to fourteen columns fresh matter that did not appear
in its morning edition of the same day.
Here is comparison , just to show how it excels a
