CHICAGO , March 9. Numr rou.i crop
damage reports todny , together with a re
vival Kit the export demand , caused a sharp
renrtlan lit wheat and May clos = il jit an
advnnru of Ifil'.ic. ' Corn Knitted " 4c nnd
outs lie. 1'cirk left off 74c ! lower nnd lard
nnd ribs unchanged.
Tho'prospect for any Improvement In ths
value of wheat looked very slim at the
commencement. The only point for the
bulls was the Michigan state crop report ,
which said that four-llfths of the corre-
Hpondents declared wheat hud been scrl-
oimly damaged by cold. On the other
hand , Liverpool cables came I4fi > 4d lower ,
California hud received a sprinkling of ruin
and Russia olllclally rejwrtcd last season's
winter crop 17 per cent larRcr than n year
ngo , with spring crops better by 14 per
oi-nt. There was a largo Increase in north
west receipts , Minneapolis and Duluth re
ceiving C > S2 cars wheat , double the number
received the Hume day last year. The Price
I'lirrrnt WUH rather bearish. May wheat
opened unchanged nt 70'.iW70'ljiC and on
lliiuldatliiu got down to 70',4c. At this
point , however , the crop news rccelv-d
from country correspondents of commission
houses became worse nnd mflre positive
about the Injury done than has previously
been the can-1. California dispatches cald
the rnln had been Inadequate and that
-tlii ) condition of the winter wheat was Htlll
very poor.
Kansas City reported 2V,000 ) bu. wheat
weld tliero for export , to be shipped via gulf
jiorts. and New York claimed a better
furcluu demand and several boat loads ac
cepted. Shorts In the meantime had cov
ered freely. Atlantic port clearances of
wheat ami Hour equaled 540,000 bu. The
market became very strong In the last
hour. California sent further dry weather
dispatches and frost daman ? reports WIT *
us numerous as the wur ilmo complaints
ubont canned roast beef. The heavy pur
chases for export also stimulated the de
mand. In the end there was Httlo wheat
for sale and much wanted. May , hesitating
at 70V4O , advanced In a gradual way to 71c
and then hurriedly rose to 71'ic. The cur
rent urlceaI the close was 71 > ic.
The strength In corn was due , appar
ently , to continued contldencn In the short
crop theories of the bulls. Receipts were
Dlght. 373 cars , and country offerings small.
There was a good cash Inquiry from the
east for Immediate shipment. May opened
a shade hlRher at 35it 35Vj , slowly Im
proved to 3G. After holding around the
latter figure for some , time a rapid jump of
> ,4c took place to 3G14C , and the closing
lirlco w OB 3GVsC.
Oats ruled llrm In sympathy with wheat
and corn , but was not nearly as buoyant
us the leaders. Receipts werf 1G2 cars. May
1 > egan i shade up at 271i(1J'hjC ( , rose to
S' c nnd closed at Zi'&c.
The notieesiblo feature of the provision
market wan the weakness of pork , while
lard and rlb < - were llrm. A 'good many
Bpeculators had spreads 'between pork and
the other speculative commodities , and to
the uncovering of some of these spreads
was ascribed the Irregularity of the mar
ket. May pork started 2' ' fiSc low'er at
$ : i22Mi9.25 , declined to i9.10 ? and rallied to
$9.20 at the close. The range In lards and
ribs was oC the narrowest kind ,
Estimated receipts for Friday : Wheat , CO
cars ; corn , 3io cars ; oats , ICO cars ; hogs ,
13,000 head.

NE\V YORK , March 9. The result of to
day's trading was Irregular , net changes ,
sonio of the specialties showing advances ,
while most of the standard shares were
fractionally lower.
The activity In the Initial and llnnl trad
ing. with dullness a larg < > part of the day ,
was a counterpart of the dealings yesterday
nnd the day before , except that today tradIng -
Ing was weak In the llnal dealings , whereas
on other days tho. closing activity WOM
tnnrkml by strength. Tin xpeclnltlcn and
the general market Improved considerably
In the early dealings In sympathy with the
coalers , which were strong on continued
talk of the proposed deal , but subsequently
worked lower. The Flower slocks were
lifted from time to time , particularly Pee
ple's Ons and Brookyn Transit , which made
net gains of about 2 points each. Metro
politan Street Railway and Third Avenue
gained GM ; and 7 | > olnts respectively. Much
interes : centered in the St. Paul dividend.
When It was announced that the regular
disbursements would be made sonv > who
had expected nn Increased return sold , nnd
the grangers generally eased off. Sugar
nnd Pacific Mall were strong features in
the list , the latter on talk of Improved
enmities. There seemed to be u disposi
tion for Boston banks to recall currency
from New York , the premium of Boston
exchnnxe on New York being lOTMoc. The
fact that the New York mibtreosury will
tomorrow draw on the clearing house for
$ (1,000.000 ( , n part of the Central Pncllle set
tlement money , some brokers considered ,
did not warrant any expectation of money
stringency nnd theiv was no appearance of
it In today's call money market.
There was a brisk demand In today s
bond market for the semi-speculative Is
sues , which generally ruled at Improved
prices. Offerings of the gilt < xlge Issues
were light , with transactions at marked
advance over previous figures. Total
sales were $3,350,000. United States 3s ad
vanced i < , In the bid price.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says : The markets lure
were dull on the danger of trouble with
Russia In China and the. prospects of si
.C5,000.000 budget dellclt owing to the addi
tion ot , C3,000.000 for naval estimates. At
the closp the feeling was less apprehensive ,
especially as regards Russia. Americans
opened rattier under par nnd promptly ad
vanced , expectllng a repetition of yester
day. Ontario * and Readings led and Bal
timore & Ohlos were In demand. Germany
bought Central Paclllc nnd St. Paul. New
York opened well , but very soon attempted
to sell a simill quantity , whereupon there
was a sharp drop , as London Is entirely de
pendent upon New York. There was a
slight rally In the street. Coppers \\vre
good early Tlnto * were MTifiSS'i , , Ana
condas Oi'&O 1-lfi. Money was In good de
mand and there was more borrowing at the
bank. Silver was hard on a little buying.
The following are the closing quotations
for the leading -stocks on the New 1ork
exchange today :
1st assessment paid.
The aggregate sales of stocks today were
519.000 shares , including : Atehlson preferred ,

CATTLE The market on beef steers was
iinythln- but to the. liking of sellers this
morninas It WHS slow at a decline of at
least lOe. Possibly right desirable steers
worn not that much off , but on the other
hand there were common cattle which had
to sell 15c lower. Sellers were Plow about
making the concession nnd it was late be-
lore the market opened and a peed deal
later before anything llko a , clearance was
effected. Some good westerns that had be-n
on feed live months sold at $5 25 , but the
most of the cattle in the yards were on the
common to medium ordr.
Cows and heifers were In liberal supply ,
and , In sympathy with the decline on fat
cattle , lOe lower as a general thing. The
market on that kind of cattle was also slow
but in the end It was all sold. Hulls , as
noted yesterday , were lower , nnd the mark t
today was slow at a decline since Monday
of 101i-0c. Veal calves were In good de
mand nt steady prices , right good ones sell
ing at $0.75.
There was not much here in the way of
stockers and feeders. Good light cattle
were good sellers the same ns on every
other ilay and prices were not materially
changed. On the lleshy cattle prices were
certainly no higher. Some very nice Polled
Angus yearlings that had been on feed sold
to a feeder at $5.00 , and some heifers that
wore yearlings and 2-year-olds brought
V * "
U will bo noted from the table of receipts
at head of column that there was a pre'tty
fair run of cattle for this time of the week ,
but of the cattle here , twenty-three cats
w-ero consigned direct to packers from
Kansaa City and were not offered for tale
on this market. Representative sales :

HOUS Liber. * . ! r.-celpta and reported de-
clliu ) of Co at Chicago rnusr-d a 6e decline
In the prlciAif hugu at this point , the mar
ket oiic'iilnjf that much lower. Salesmen
were backward about making tliu coni't-u.
* lon anil they fought every Inch of th *
ground stubbornly , f" that the hugg did not
go toward the scale * a fast as tliey natu
rally would under other circumstances.
Still everything was sold In good season.
Light and light mixed loads sold largely
nt W,50&3.00 , us against .i f(3C2V4 ( ; the
heavier mixed loads * old at * 1.G3.C2H. ! .
while that kind y sterday brought J3.C2W
B.G5. Some very prime heavy noun sola up
to J3.70 , which was the top yoMcrdny on thf i
Mme kind of htiKS. The finality of the hoc ?
was good today , a fart which helped out the
market very mnterlnlly.
It will be noted from thf table of avprngr
priors nt head of column that the market
lost all the advance that w.is inmlr
,
SHEEP There was quite a liberal run ol
sheep again today and also a liberal sprink
ling of lambs. Among the offerings was
some pretty good stuff. The market WIIP
very late In opening' and the trade was dull
even after It did open. As a rule holders
were asking pretty llrm prices , while liuy re
did not want to pay 'iny more , than steady
prices. Perhaps the whole situation could
be summed up best by calling it a slow but
about steady market.

REGULARS GET EXTRA PAY
.MitrrlNon lnervl < Mieil C
for Tito O inn Mil
WASHINGTON , March 0. ( Special Tclo
gram. ) The ptovlslon In the army appro
priation hill allowing nil enlisted men In the
regular army who enlisted subsequent to the
declaration of war for the war only and then
to bo mustered out of service , who BorveJ
beyond the limits of the United States , two
months' extra pay , nnd nil men of the panic
description who have served within the lim
its of the United States ono month's extra
pay , has been the subject of considerable.
discussion among regulars as to the meaning
of the provision * llnqulry was made nt the
AVnr department this morning on behalf of
members of the Sixteenth Infantry , stationed
nt Tort Crook , ns to whether they would be
entitled to extra pay.
Major Morrison , assistant judge nrtvocnto
general. In explaining the provisions of the
act , said : "Soon after the war began nu
order wns issued which was intended to
encourage enlistments 'n ' the regular army
nnJ was to the cnVot that any ono who un
listed In the regular army during the war
would be discharged from the service nt the
close of the war , If such was desired. This
\\as tantamount to a promise , which IB now
being faithfully kept. U will bo recalled
that at the breaking out of the war every
body wanted to go Into the volunteer scrvlco
and It was Impossible to secure cnlUtmeutn
In the regular army to bring the companies
to the maximum. After the. promise was
mniUi that the men would t > o discharged at
the close of the wir It was comparatively
easy to recruit the regular regiments to the
maximum.
No\v that the war Is virtually nt an eti'.l
the department Is discharging those men
p.nd the provision of the ninny appropriation
bill Is to the effect that those Individual *
who have served out of the country shall
get two months' extra pay when discharged
under this ptomlse and one mouth's extra
pay to those who served within the limits
of the United States. H is applicable to
all regular army organizations Into which
enlistments wcro made , nnd applies to the
men not only of the Sixteenth Infantry , butte
to all arms of the service. "
Senator Thurston has designated ns two
additional second lieutenants of 101 to bo
appointed under the reorganization bill by
the president Captain William II. Cowlu
and Wallace J. Uroatch , both of Omaha.
