CHICAGO. March 26,-Thc corn market
was broad and aggressive today, lending
the other markets, closing strong, .May Hit
He over Saturday. Wet weather and email
stock wero factors. From tho top the
market yielded on the heavy receipts.
Whcut was influenced considerably by corn
and provisions, but succumbed llnally to
tho bearish stnllstlcs, closing weak, May ',4c
down. The provisions market went soaring
because a large demand met with scant of;
rorlngS, closing Ge higher for May Inrd to
20c up fur May pork. May oats at tho close
was unchanged.
Tho com market early assumed a com
manding nlr oil tho Moor of 'chanfie and held
It by virtue of Iti strength and activity,
from whkh the other pits were glad to bor
row Wet weather In the west and small
stocks were the only available reasons to
lucoiuit for the advance from a statistical
Htandpolnt. I'ndoubtedly, however, tho
liuyliiK by a coterie of bulls who were not
Hdvcrtfslng their rensons was an Influence
of Importance. There were plenty of men
whoso eyes are on the crop and supply situ
iitlon to aver that tho present stocks aro
final to tho demand. May opened a shado
over Saturday at 37iH.177fce and In a moment
of abstraction the market touched 37ic.
Then It gave a startled Jump and In tho
rnurse of an hour hail clambered to ."Mc.
The bulge met with heavy profit taking, but
the price was holding fairly well against
this when western reports, hnvlng dribbled
In, t.howed receipts aggregating 1,152,000 till,
mul this, mi top nf the dally reports which
have recently been hnrplng on the llRht
miiitry acceptances. An explanation of
this deluge of corn was that It was being
rushed In to take advantage of low rates
to the Missouri river, which expire April
0. May easeil off to SS'(,c and closed strong,
MV fiver Saturday, at 38ftfJ3S',ic. l)cal
receipts were 639 ears.
The strength of corn was sufficient to
pull the wheat market away from the bear
ish clutch of the big Increases olloat and In
world's shipment, but the downward ten
dency of the market took the fullest ad
vantage of the reaction In corn und closed
weak. Cables wero llrm, but the oxport de
mand wufl not very encouraging, l'rovlslons
ns well an corn wero some support. May
opened a shndo over Saturday at OSH'iJCWc,
touched 6,"c and then advanced with corn
nnd provisions as the guiding factors to
0Uc Primary receipts were large anil this
fact, with the reaction In corn, caused u
decline nnd the close was Ho under Satur
day at CTiWd. IJcal receipts wero 78 cars,
B of contract grade. Minneapolis ami Du
luth reported 731 cars, against S9S last week
und K! a year ago. Primary receipts wero
917,000 Im., compared with 729,000 bu, last
year. New- York reported 15 loads taken for
export and seuboaril clearances In wheat
anil (lour were oQtml to 233,000 bu.
The provisions market w-us strong nnd
nctlve, helped by tho corn strength to a
degree, but chlelly by tho light offerings
which greeted a largo genernl demand. Tho
opening was a shade to 2',4o under Saturday
In sympathy with weakor prices n the.
yards, but the depression was onlv tor a
moment. May pork ranged from $11.70 to
J12.no and closed 20c up at $ll.MV4; Muy lard,
from U7M5i.20 to l6.2JHTl6.30, closing Go
up at tt.25, and May ribs, from $C.27',i6.30
to $C.42VJ. with the close 7&Q10c Improved
nt $ti.40,
The trade In oats was not of Importance,
out the market held firm In sympathy with
com. The discount between oats and corn
nt one tlmo wan 14V4c, tho largest ho far.
Local receipts wero 321 cars. May ranged
from to 2JJc, closing unchanged from

NEW YORK, Marc'i 26.-Todny,s stork

enormous liquidation of proMls Sharp re
actions from best price? were made In
many stocks nnd others wil"ii have been
tho recent favorites
n rlsn wero heavy on realizing of profits
throughout the day, but tho general level
of prices wni decidedly higher on the. day
and n very heavy aggregatu of stocks was
marketed. Dealing." were more or less
congested In tho leaders of slock exchange
movements, but there was n very broad
market for. usually dormant stocks, somo
or whh h hnvi not made their almearaneo
In the records of trau.iai'ttons for nuinv
weeks pas:. Ixjndnn was an eager buyer
in tlils market und while there wero sties
mado for that uoroutit to take profits where
recent advances lmv been considerable, tho
disposition of tho foreigners seemed to bo
to reinvest their prnlltrt In other stocks.
They were Tree sellerB of Norfolk & West
ern and of Baltimore & Ohio, but the pur
chase! on Loudon account far outbalanced
the sales. It was estimated that London
bought fully 60,000 shares on balance, prin
cipally umong the low-priced common
stocks, with preferred HtockH ahead of
them. Tho commission houses had largo
ordcrn to buy, which had accumulated
over Sunday, and tho professionals took
ndvnntniTe of this demand to murkot their
holdings. This, coupled with tho weak
ness of tho local traction stocks, Sugar
nnd Pen;)lo's Oas, turned prices back be
fore tho end of the Urst hour, but the
buylns continued in unabated volume and
carried tho market upward again. Lnter
In tho day. when the buying orders had
been executed and realizing developed In
tho trunk llnef, the market went off URuIn.
Tho Unal rally did not bring prices back
to the best, but It made tho closing llrm.
Baltimore & Ohio common rose an cxtremo

There was very heavy realizing In tho
other trunk lines tinder cover of the rlie
In Baltlmoro .t Ohio. Special strength
nnd activity were shown by a number of
tho low-priced southern and southwest
erns, tho Paclllcp, some of the coalers,
both nnthracito und bituminous. The news
of tho day did not receive much atten
tion, the movement apparently being based
on confidence In tho general outlook for
business und values and In future ense in
tho money mnrkut.
All departments of tho local monoy mar
ket wero upprclably easier today. In splto
of tho largely Increased speculative ac
tivity and tho resulting demand for funds.
In splto of tho largo buying- of stocks for
London account sterling exchange advanced
a fraction, apparently In response to tho
hardening of money mte In London. A
marked fulllnc on was rcnorted In the
qunntlt:- of cotton bills offered in tho ex
change market.
Tho bond markot continued broad and
nctlvo and higher prices were made for
most bonds traded In. Total sales, par

Tho Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says: All business In
tho markets here today centered In Amer

London nnd lontlnental heavy profit-taking
vas overwhelmed by new buying, which
New York ns.ilstcd by very early buying
nf Baltlmoro & Ohio. New York realized
on tho advance nt tho opening, but offered
support in tho street, which boomed at
top prices. Baltimore & Ohio was tho
chief feature, but thoro was also big buy
