. CHICAGO, March 7. Trading In grain
Vni again a waiting came today until Just
before the end of the session, when the
development of fair export business aug
mented the Influences of the usual crop
damage report and gave all markets an
upturn. May wheat at the close registered
a net gain of Sc. May corn c and May
oats c ProvlMona closed 6jlnc higher.
Wheat was slow most of the day, be
"rause of the divergence of opinions on the
crop conditions. Weather conditions were
showers throughout the suffering country
today and even rumors of light showers
cam to hand. The damage reports, bow
ever, showed Kansas In a bad way and
bullish advices kept coming In from Okla
homa, Texas, Indiana and Ohio. Cables
were firm and Northwestern receipts were
very light These last two Influences
brought a firm .condition shortly after the
opening, which, because of rain predic
tions, started May c lower to unchanged.
For the greater part of the session fluctu
ations were narrow and the life was
greatly gone out of trade. The rain re
ports from Kansas eased May temporarily
to 7G.&-76c, after having sold at 7Gc, but
with the arrival of Information of a better
export trade there came a good bulge. This
market worked ten loads and New York
reported thirty loads taken for export.
Shorts began covering and soma fair buy
ing developed late. May sold up with a
spurt to 77So and closed very firm. He up
at 77c. Iocal receipts were eleven cars,
none of contract grade; Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 177 cars, making a total
for three points of 188 cars, against 406 last
week and 475 a year ago. Argentine ship
ments were 1,068,000 bushels for the week,
against 1 608,JU) bushels the corresponding
week last year. Primary receipts were
SftC.OW) bushels, compared with fiii2,() bush
els a year ago. Beaboard clearances In
whest and flour equaled 97.000 bushels.
Corn was dull and followed the lead of
wheat and waa Indifferent. . The firmness
of wheat was chiefly absence of selling
pressure. Trade lit general was a scalping
affair. Offerings were small and receivers
reported no acceptances of cash corn from
country. Traders were looking for a grad
ual falling off in receipts for some time to
come. The opening tone was firm and a
few commission house purchases advanced
prices. Fluctuations, however, were very
narrow until wheat spurted; then corn
followed wheat In a measure and May
touched 62M.O, closing Arm, Sc Up, at 6if
62V4C Receipts were 103 cars.
Oats were very dull but Prices firmed up
a bit on light offerings. Talk of an Im
proved cash demand helped the speculative
mood, though traders were fighting shy of
May options. Country offerings continued
small and receipts wAre only fair-at 101
cars. May sold as low as 44c, and, with
corn and wheat; rallied to 44c, closing: c
up at 44Hc
Provisions opened' with a good tone on
Improved hog market; trade was quiet, but
commission houses were fair buyers, tak
ing lard, mostly, and the market held well
and advanced. Offerings generally were
small and In demand. May pork closed
15c up at $15.40; May lard, 6c higher at $8.45,
and May ribs, MiTHb higher at $8.37ift'8.40.
Estimated receipt for tomorrow: Wheat,

crae af Conflict la a Emotion oa the
Part of Professional Specnlatoro
NEW YORK. March 7 The stork mar
ket today showed evidence of conflicting
emotions on the part of the professional
speculators who make up the present mar
ket. There was something of a struggle
during the early part of the day to keep
prices moving upward and a number of
specialties shot up In the way which has
become so familiar of late. Othens which
were violently advanced yesterday showed
a tendency to an abrupt relapse. The gen
eral active list took on Its recently somno
lent condition, suggesting that the demand
from the short interest which caused yes
terday's sharp rise had been satisfied. The
report that $1,000,000 sold engaged for to
morrows steamer had been withdrawn from
export had a mild, stimulating effect on
the market, but the later forecast of to
morrow's bank statement showed sufficient
ground for apprehension still remaining of
tne rate of depletion of the New York bank
reserves. The report that the government
had filed Its suit against the Northern Se
curities company with the United States
court at St. Paul caused a ripple of alarm,
although it had been abundantly foreseen
snd presented no new phase In the case.
The preliminary figures of money move
ment for the week Indicate that the banks
have lost cash to the extent of nearly
$5.ono,0ft0. Including the gold exported on
Thursday, but not Including the $2,300,OnO
which Is to go on tomorrow's steamer. It
Is argued that Thursday's gold .exports,
coming late In the week will not figure for
their full effect In the bank statement under
the average, but the same thing was true
of last week's statement, leaving the resi
due of last week's cash losses to be car.
ried over Into this week. The apprehension
Is therefore that the small surplus may be
cut in two. With the present dimensions
of the deposit and tash Items In the New
York banks the surplus is at Its present
figure almost nominal anyway, and a
variation of a few millions has little ef
fect on the proportion of the reserve. The
hardening tendency of the money market
Is a convincing evidence, however, that the
banks are not anxious at present to extend
their credits. Of the day'a special move
ments Colorado Fuel was most conspicuous.
with a feverish reaction which reached
points at one time. Chicago & Northwest

exceedingly quiet, tomorrow being. a holi
day and the settlement coming on Monday,
but sentiment was cheerful, particularly In
Kaffirs, where the bull account is much re
duced, and there are many temporary bear

gards as hopefully significant the stricter
censorship in the Transvaal of all messages
Easslng through Pretoria. Houses with
outk African connections aro buying con
sols. American shares merely reflect New
York price movements. Mexican National
rose a point The Speyers are reported as
huylng for New York account. The .mar
ket was again a borrow from the bank.
Silver Is flat on complete absence of sup
port. The; metal has the appearance of

CATTLE There waa a light supply Of
cattle here today for even a Friday, but
the receipt for th week to date compare
favorably with th corresponding period
of both last week and the same week of
last year.' The demand on the part of
local nackers was In aood shape, and aa
a result the market was active and stronger
all around.
The. re were comDaratlvelv few oornfed
steers in the yards and the market could
be quoted active ana strong 10 a mine
higher. Packers all seemed to be anxious
for supplies, and there were not enough
cattle to go around. Sale were made a
high a 36.15, so that soma of th cattle
showed considerable quality. A bunch of
western hayfed cattle attracted consid
erable attention and sold for 84.90, which
was considered a good, strong price as
compared with the way corn cattle are
elllng. , M ,
. The better graaes oe cuwe ana neurrs
sold at strong prices this morning, and aa
there were only a few here everything
was out of first hands In good season.
Price are now at the high point of the
season, and in fact some salesmen say
they ar at the highest points In several
years. It Is to be noticed, however, that
th high price apply only to the better
grades. The kinds that sell from 83.75 down
are rather neglected, and th commoner th
quality th harder they are to sell.
There waa very Utile change today In
the prices paid for bulls, veal calves and
''no many stock cattle arrived today, so
that sellers had very little trouble In dis
posing of everything they had , at good,
steady prices. The demand from th coun
try has been fairly liberal most of the
week, and speculators have not been
obliged to carry over from day to day
very many cattle. As a result there was
no slump In price today, aa Is apt to be
the case at the close of th week. Repre
sentative sales:

fhe downward course of prices, and the
general market could be quoted a dime
higher than yesterday. Oh the start th
market waa, perhaps, not over 6 loo
higher, but it soon became generally a
aline higher. The advance, however, was
"l"8'.! ""Unable on the better grades, as
the light hogs sold so unevenly and have
been ior sometime past, that It Is difficult
to tell whether they are higher or lower.
Common hogs of all weights were hard to
move and in sum cases sellers found it
almost impossible to get a bid on unde
sirable grades. Good weight hogs sold
mostly from 16.16 to 16.25. Medium weights
went from 36.WO to 86.15, and the light
weights sold mostly under 86.00. It waa
a fairly active market, so that most every
thing with weight and quality was disposed
of in good season. The light and common
stuff, however, was left until the last and
sold slowly. Representative aales:
