The crowd In the corn pit was murli
renter tlian It has been at any other time
for n year, not even excepting yesterday,
when the 2c bulge mnde the coarse cereal
th cynosuro of speculative eyes. The
Jirlce was controlled liy two Influences at
Various limes sales for prollt nnd covering
iy shorts. May opened ar over yesterday
lit 3SM)3SV Then the excitement began,
j.ongs who had gathered In the sheaves
months hbo came Into the pit and reaped
Ihelr reward or as much of It as they
deemed It advisable to take at present. It
was estimated that many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars were taken out of sales
today. Meanwhile May was shooting down
Trom first llgures to 37'ic, a drop of 11(l's'
Iroin the, opening. At the decline the e
rltemcnt abated to a degree and shorts.
Who had waited to avoid covering on the
liulge, began to protect themselves against
mother ascent, l'ndcr this Influence and
with the light country offerings und higher
cables In mind, May recovered gradually
to 37Mj38e. Later the market reacted to
fcT'iir, where It steadied and closed, 'Vc'1''
under yesterday. Liverpool was up Id t"r
ipnt and liil'id for futures. Primary re
relpts were 777,000 bushels, compared with
I23,(i00 n year ago. Atlantic port clearances

bushels and Philadelphia, reported foreign
ers bidding nt the advance. The statlotlcul
rdtuiitlnu remained practically unchanged
The wheat market was unlet and rather
lieavy, suliordlnate to corn all day. May
opened 'do over yesterday at MVitWiC In
fluenced by higher cables from Liverpool
anil from Paris, und with tho corn strength.
The break In corn, lower late cables and the
lieavy northwest receipts, together with
rroflt-tnklng by traders, caused a reaction,
following the opening. May declining from
r,r,ijp, which tho market touched shortly
lifter the opening, to iri(ffiiV,c. The close
was heavy. May .Vu',4c lower at 65'c. The
cash business was encouraging. "fta.Oifl

iipolls and Pulilth reported 932 cars, against
f,67 last week nnd 6S5 a. year ago. Local re
ceipts were S3 cars, 1 of contract grade.
The oats market furnished the unusual
spectacle for It of Home activity and
Htrengtb early, Influenced by wheat and
corn. The exhibition was nf short dura
tion, however, anil with the break In corn
the market declined nnd the wimlup was
rather weak. Local receipts were 52s cars.
May ranged from 21c to 21M(23'i,c and
closed Vnfi'ic under yesterday at 23f(237.,o.
The experience In provisions was much
r-lmllar to that In corn considerable prollt

Itedtli'tlon of Hie Mmrt Interest.
NHW YOHIC, March 13-The stock mar
ket today showed very plainly the effects of
tho reduction of the short Interest, vhlcl
accompanied yesterday's sharp advance In
prices. While yesterday's covering move
meiit was In part the c:iuo of the sham
ndvnnce It wn nlun tim riiiii c c,i.u n.
tlal buying, which was ntttibutcd to largo
i,,nclal Interests. This timing was not In
.evidence today. London alio was disposed
, ,ut0 rnts on the news of the nrrlval of
the Ilrltlsh forces before Hlocmfontelo.
Hut notwithstanding the lack of aggres
slve strength In the market the biurs
Hhowcd themselves timid about making
fresh ventures. There was some pressure
against the list nt time, especially Metro
politan, Miigar. I'eopies (las, stci Hoop
and the New York fity stocks generally.
Missouri Pacific suffered from disappoint
ment over the showing made In the annual
statement nnd Rubber was rnlded down an
extreme 3U, points. These nml other de.
cllnes were largely recovered before the
close nnd In the final transactions a sharp
I i,,m nil iiui in iii. nuj .
I Offerings of stocks on nil recessions were
In fact extremely light and there were
points of strength which acted as sustaining
factors for the whole market, notably
Third Avenue, the Atchison stocks, New
York Central and Norfolk & Western ore.

while the market waits on developments In
the money market for n rlso holders of
stocks are not prepared to make conces
sions to sell. Call money did not command
above 6 tier cent nnd fell to 3 per cent, but
mis was pronaiuv uue to tile cessation or
the stock market demand as much ns to any
new supply of funds. The losses bv the
banks to tho stibtrensury since last Friday
nlreildv fnnt mi 1.1!SlniV1 ii'litnli lu mtn
(hnn half the remaining surplus over the
PRni requirement held by the banks. It Is
fvldent therefore that relief from the opera.
tlon of tho currency Inw must come quickly
If It Is to prevent a nlncli In the money
market.
A feeling nf assurance was caused by an
Intimation from Washington that the first
payments on nccount of bond premiums In
tho refunding operation will be mnde from
the subtreasurles und not from the govern
ment deposits lu national batiks. The
money market Is expocted to show relief
from this source more quickly than from
tho putting out of new circulation. A strik
ing feature nf the day's events wns the
Bharp break In sterling exchange, demand
sterling yielding "s and cables '2c lu the
pound. Considering the advance In London
discounts the selling of stocks for London
nccount here nnd the reported lnrge sub
scriptions In New York to the Ilrltlsh loan,
the course nf sterling was the more re
markable. The explanation may be found
In the stntement of merchandise exports
from New York for the week, which wee
valued at J15.243.999. against $13,570,162 In tho
preceding week nnd J9.S7S.229 In the corre-
; spondlng period of last year. The move
ment 01 cotton nnil llie iiign price prevail
ing aro the principal causes of the high ex
port llgures.
Honds continued In good demnnd nnd
prices were firmly held. Total snles, par
value, $3,433,000. I'nlted States 2s declined
',4 and the old 4s 'i In the bid price.
The Commercial Advertiser's London

CATTLE Receipts were the largest for
some days and ns prices have been held up
pretty high as compared with other market
points, on account of tho light receipts that
have prevailed here for some little time
back. It was not surprising that buyers
should want to take off somethlnc when the
.opportunity of larger receipts was presented,
i The general mnrkel on killing cnttle wns
' lower all along the line In consequence of
inese comimons. or tho cnttle hero six
teen loads were from Knnsns City, con
signed direct to Cudnhy.
Something like fifty loads of beef steers
were on sale, but a good many of them
were only warmed up, so that the feeders
could use them. The market opened a little
slow on fat cattle, as buyers seemed to feel
that there were plenty of cattle for them nil
nnd that there was no use In being In a
hurry. The first bids were genernily con
siderably lower, but It finally settled down
to a market that would have to be quoted
ns weak to 19c lower. A good many of the
cattle were not overly desirable and the
market, too, was rather uneven, so that
operators were of somewhat different
opinions, hut they all agreed that It was n
little lower.
Cows and heifers. If right desirable, sold
pretty well, while some of the less desirable
stuff wns neglected a little, but the general
market would have to be quoted the same,
as the market on beef steers that Is. weak
to )0o lower. Hulls were rather slow and
weak. Veal calves sold at tlrm prices.
There seemed to be n pretty good demand
for good kinds of feeders and the market
wns strong. Feeder buyers took a good
many of the warmed-up cattle, being better
buyers In many Instances than the packers.
The most of the feeding cattle changed
bands early, but It was rather late before
killing cattle weie all disposed of. Reprc

nnd a number nf good heavy or he.iv

of the mixed hogs went at $1 77'iin.Sfl.
Yesterday a very large proportion of all
the mixed hogs In the yards sold at $1 75fl
4 77'4, and the top was only $4 871, Sellers
wero all determined Ibis morning to force
the market up at least 6c. and as buyers
were not willing to put on quite that much
the trade was a little backward nhnut
opening, but when the trado was once
under wny the market wns nctlve. ns
noted above, and the pons wcro cleared In
good season.
It will he noted from the table of aver
