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.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
cars; corn, 110 cars; oats. 75 cars; hogs,

one-third of the Kansas wheat crop of last
year has been marketed," said B. J. North
rup, state grain Inspector, today. "The
farmers have led some of the remaining
two-thirds to their stock and they are
holding the rest for a better price. This
month will tell the story whether we are
to raise a crop this year, and the old wheat
will begin to move next month. If, pros
pects for a good crop continue as favorable
as they are now the move of wheat next
month win do large."

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.

grade and very satisfactory prices paid.
Th.r were oulta a tew beef steers on
ale this morning and the quality as a
whols was better than it has been for some
time past. Quite a few cattle were offered
that were good enough to sell right around
$6 00 and a high a $6.60 was paid for
prime cattle. iney were extra gooa in
.,,,oiitv however, and were better than
anything mat nas oeen seen nere in aoine
time. AS a general ining ine nmraei couia
safely b quoted strong to a dime higher
than yesterday. The advance waa not con
nH to the rood cattle, but was fully as
great cn the medium Kinds, common stun,
nt course, did not show aa much change.
Th cow traae was aiso very nveiy loaay
and strong to lOo higher than yesterday.
The demand was especially good for the
choicer grades and as will be seen from the
ale below mere were a goou many cows
that were good enough to sell from 34.60
up. The medium graaes, ucn as sen irom
$3.75 to $4.26 also Improved In price today
to some extent, out wiien 11 came 10 can
ners. and particularly to the commoner
kinds, the market was slow and no more
than steady, the same as it has been for
some time past.
Bulls, veal caives ana stags an com
manded good steady prices today and
where the quality waa good they looked a
little stronger.
There were not many stockers and feed

SHEEP Sheep receipts this morning
were not heavy and as local packers had
quit liberal orders the market ruled ac
tive and steady to strong. 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.
The feeder market continues active snd
steady, with offerings very light and ths
demand liberal.
