buslncrs and are prophesying even greater
gains In the volumo of trailo In the near
future, The cold wave tho latter part of
last week, of course, had a tendency to
curtail t)iu movement of spring and sum
mer noods, but It Is thought that tho loss
of last week will bo moro than made up
for at tho first nppearanco of warm
weather. Report received from the coun
try would lndlcato that retailers did nil

frozen up, so that farmers could drlvo Into
town with their produce, and If that Is
truo local Jobbers say they will recelvo

rillCAao, March IT. All gra'n and pro
vision markets rhowed strength today and
closed at advances, provision making a
now hlch mark for tho season. Wheat
was nffected by continued cold weather,
higher cables and heavy foreign engage
ments, closing at an advanco of '4fliic.
Corn advanced Me, oats UftUc and pro-
virions closed from &07!4c to lZ'.jc higher.
The opening In wheat was murked by
a good deal of activity nntl strength.
Liverpool showed n good ndvancc, follow
ing the gain In prices hero yesterday, but
tho chief factor for tho time being was tho
continued cold weather In tho winter wheat
belt and tho growing conviction umong
traders that next week would bo marked
by a flood of crop damuso reports and
a corresponding advanco In tho prlco of
wheut. May opened at C7Vfl07He and an
advanco of V4ftMc over yesterday's close.

?Y- later on kept ..shoppers home. The u.Vc;p .f-'- factor developed In the engagement tor
tween a conviction that the new bank cur
rency and government bond refunding law
was bound to result In an Invigorating flow
Into the veins of the circulating medium and
a doubt If tho effects would become
operative soon enough to counteract the
factors constricting the money supply In
New York nnd threatening a pinch In the
Immediate future.
The continued dullness of the demand for
stocks during tho latter part of the week
has prompted some throwing over of
stocks by tired holders, who had boueht to
discount the effect of the new law and wer
disappointed at the tardlneis of tho effect
In manifesting Itself. There was some call
ing of loans on account of the diminishing
reserves of cash 'by tho banks and some
selling of stocks In consequence. JJut the
selling seemed to be confined to professional
traders In stocks and those of lesser Im
portance. Only part of the week's gains were lost
and the general level of prices remains
somewhat higher. While speculation has
been quiescent thero has been some Invest
ment buying, especially In the bond market,
nffordlng an effective support to confidence
In the Intrinsic valuo of securities, however
they may be affected by tho Immediate ex
igencies of the money mnrket.
Tho difficulty In the New York money
niarket was due to the continued drain
?f cash Into the United States stibtrearury.
This week It tins amounted to $1,300,000,
bringing the total for tho three weeks last
past to over $16,000,000. As tho total sur

offered from moro or less expert sources
regai-uins me extent to wnicn uank circu
lation will be expanded under tho new
law, and as to Its effect on prices and
business. The conviction Is general that
there will Iw a liberal expansion of bank
note Issues and that tho effect on the money
market will promptly be felt to the ex
tent of tho 10 per cent Increase In the cir
culation of bonds at present deposited to
sccuro outstanding circulation nnd of the
premium on the same bonds, payable upon
their conversion into the new 2 per cents.
Assurance ls felt that the payment of
this premium will be made out of the funds
In tho treasury If necessary to avoid dis
turbance In the money market, rather than
by draft on tho government's dcnoslts In
national banks. Hut even In the event
of drafts on theso deposits. It In evident
that the government bonds placed by the
banks with the United State.H treasury as
security for theso deposits will bo thereby
released and made available ns a basis
for nddltlonnl circulation. The circular
Issued by the Trpnsury department ex
plaining tho provisions of the New York
law clenrly demonstrates a margin of prollt
on circulation, nnd even at tho present
high prices ruling for government bonds,
which Is equivalent to upward of 106 for
the new 2s when Issnled.
When ruling prices for the bonds have
proved sufllelently attractive to bring large
nfTerlncs from Investment holders. Includ

the opening prices wero nil of 6iJ10c higher
and the early sales wero Inrgely at $I.92V4
T'4.07V4, with c few good loads at $5.00. Uo
foro salesmen could all let go Chicago
came lower and buyers hero seemed tn
come to tho conclusion thnt thoy did not
want tho hogs so badly after all. Tho
market weakened and closed with tho most
of the odvnnco lost.
The hog market has been nil right this
week ns regards the selling Interests. Tho
week opened with nn advance nnd on Tues
day tho market wns still higher. On
Wednesday It dropped back almost Cc, but
recovered on Thursday and went still
higher nn Friday. The week closed with
the mnrket ot the highest point touched
n far this year, and nt tho highest nolnt
touched during the month of March since
1893. The demnnd has been good ull tho
week and nrrlvals, though lnrger than
usual, have met with ready sale on most
