SOUTHWEST GETS THOROUGH DRENCHING Com la Allecled In gympntbr with Wheat, and as a Resnlt the Market ttrts Oversold Provisions Rale Firm. CHICAGO. March 12 Strong bearish irnumenl In the shape of new of copious howera all over the southwestern he fields Influenced liberal sales In 'h wheat and com today, but beara went to extremes and oversold the markets. A a result a few hit of otherwise unimportant news started covering and May wheat sed only a shade under, May corn Mc higher and May oats Ho up. Provisions gained 21jei?s' Marled to sell wheat liberally at the opening on the rain reports. The ouh west, which has been reported as suffering badly for moisture, seemed to have re ceived a good drenching. At any rate, the bear argument wa strong and as op pressing as traders expect any news to be for some time. In' the speculative mind the danger from damaged cropa U past. This started May wheat &c to tfc down at 76c to 76c, and Influenced a fur ther dip to 5i76Tc. News apart from that of the passing of the drouth was g tve n J1U tle attention. Cables were slightly lower but receipts were small and the coarse grains seemed to have an abundance of latent strength. Trade was only moderate, but it was nearly all on the selling side until covering set In. Two days ago May wheat was selling at 78c At the low price today short sales made at the high figures made good profits and the crowd Loon saw that the market was vers"ld On top of this came news of a disposition toward better business at the seaboard. May sold up sharply to 7640 and closed almost firm, a shade lower, at 6'c. Throughout the day shorts were nerous. The corn strength also developed an ef fective Influence late, local receipts were receipts were 603.000 bu., compared to 6,0. bu. the same day last year. Seaboard clearances In wheat and flour equaled 8x3, 000 bu. The seaboard reported 66 loads taken for export, of which 60 were said to be of Manitoba wheat. . . Corn opened a little easier on the wheat weakness and bears did some short selling. The rain, however, started the bulla to talking of a further hindrance of the movement to market. Trade was not etlve, but receipts were small, as usual. As the wheat weakness began to disappear corn piled up marked strength. Shorts were nervous, the market got oversold and cover ing was the order of the day. This sent May up from 6TSe to 62c and hrought a Arm close, o higher, at 6282c. Re ceipts were 108 cars. Oats were fairly active and nervous at the opening. The tone was strong on a further withdrawal of 48,750 bu. of No. 3 oats from stocks, making a reduction of one-third of the total Chicago stocks since Monday. May opened unchanged at 4440 and advanced quickly to 4fic. Trade then turned dull and was a scalping affair. The lAte corn strength and short covering gave the closing Impetus and May ended the eesslon strong, o up, at 46c. Receipts were only 64 cars. ... ... Provisions were dull, but ruled firm, with coarse grains and higher prices for hogs May pork closed 10c up at 116.45, May lard 2o higher at $9.42 nd May ribs 2c higher at 38.42.

EW YORK STOCKS AD BONDS. , pward Raaste of Prices Resalts In Some Show of Animation. NEW YORK. March 12. There was some show of animation In today's stock mar ket on an upward range of prices. The strengtn did no' permeate tne wnoie mar ket, but there were more of the usually prominent stocks concerned In the move ment man nus Deen tne rui recently. The most conspicuous of these a was Amalgamated Copper, in which theref was evidence of liquidation, only occasional in termissions during which the fall received momentary check, me extreme aecnne reached 4fc points. The selling of the stock was accompanied by rumors that the next dividend will be reduced or passed. No authoritative Information was to be had on the subject, nor on the many re ports that the marketing of the company's surplus stock had Involved heavy losses. The weakness of this stock gave an occa- lonal check to the advance at other points, but did not materially affect the stronger tendency of the market. Cover ing by alarmed shorts seemed to play a part In the advance, especially. In the coal ers, which have been freely sold on ru mors that the Anthracite miners were de termined to rush demands that would not be granted. Today equally assured predic tions were neara mat mere wouia De no labor tCoubles in the coal trade and that there was no room for dissatisfaction. There was no authoritative Information on this subject, either. Another case where speculative - Interest was reversed from that of yesterday was on the outlook for the winter wheat crop. n reports of copious rains In Texas ana the southwest. Bjylng to cover short con tracts was particularly enective in Mis souri Pacific, which had the advantage of reported Increase in gross earnings lor the first week of March. The calmness of the money market was the final factor of a general character on the strength in stocks. The rate for money Is nrm and nobody is found to predict an early relaxation of rates, but feeling was reassured today that there Is no Immedi ate danger of forcing a condition of string ency. It la supposed that the trust com panies are putting out loans at tne nignest rates ana mus relieving some 01 tne pres ure moon tne Danks. This shifting of loans from the banks to the trust companies does not affect any real fltrr:nfi-thenina' of the monev situation. as the cash reserves of the trust companies are on deposit with the banks, and the ultimate reserve agalnBt the loans Is thus unchanged, but the legal limitation upon the banks to keep up the cash reserves to 2o per cent of the deposits makes this re' ductlon of their loan and deposit account desirable for its shifting of deposit liabili ties upon tne trust companies which are not compelled to maintain any fixed re serve. The foreign exchange market Indi cates also that loans are still being re newed and extended from foreign lenders. Special strength was shown today by Gen eral Electric, Westlnghouse Electric, Northern Pacific, the Virginia Chemical stocks, the Cotton Oil stocks, the Readings and Peoria & Eastern. There were gains of a point or over for a large number of stocks which were moainea by a late re Using movement. The bond market continues rather irreg ular and more active. Total sales, par value, $2,340,oou; united mates Donas were unchanged on the last call. The commercial Advertisers London financial cablegram says: The stock mar ket was extremely quiet. The shock over the capture of General Metbuen is al ready forgotten. but the markets are waiting for some fresh lead. In the meantime the tone Is nrm. American shares were featureless until New York bid up Union Paclflc, St. Paul, Southern Pacific and Erie. In the street stocks were easier, with a dull finish save Canadian Paclflc, which was firm on New York orders. Rio tlntos closed at 46 after touching 4tH. ana uopper aavancea to 54 the ton. Gold to the amount of 5.000 has gone out to South Africa.

The quality of the offerings was fairly good, but still nothing strictly choice was offered. The prices at which th different bunches sold will be found below, and, considering qual ity, the market was fully as good as It was yesterday, and everything was sold In good season. The lamb market did not show much change from yesterday and could be quoted just about steady. In some cases It looked a little weak, and In others fully steady, so there was not enough change to be worthy of mention.
