WEAKNESS CHARACTERIZES THE MARKETS Utile Derisive Neve la Wheal, bat General Concession that Wheat State Hare Enoagh Rata for the Preaeat. CMICAOO. March l.l.-There ' a va riety of experiences In the grain pits to day. WrakiwM characterized the market, a good strength developed later, particu larly In the coarse grains, but In the end the ii dual eprlnctlme decline seemed to be In order and May wheat closed Tfc&'le lower, May corn HW"to lower and May oata c higher. Provision, after opening strong, cloned a ehade lower. There was little declalve news In wheat. Cabins were not responsive, northwestern receipts were Increased enough to be bear ish and It waa generally conceded that there was rain enough for the wheat states for the present. The weather waa seasonable and statistical Journal gave decidedly bearish advices, tinder these Influences Mar wheat opened 4c to o lower at 76Hc to 7t4c. Corn showed soma strength and helped wheat, back to Its yesterday's clos ing position. There seemed for a time to be an effort on the part of local leaders to bull the market, but the covering which advanced May gave way on heavy selling for Ht. Louis and It waa evident that It was bolstering that aided the tone. Spring wheat seeding has been started and there aeemed to be inclination to let wheat And a level for export advices from the east my that foreign markets are preferring WanUoba wheat to our exports. Farmers are reported plowing up their worst wheat fields and damage reports still came to hand. The selling, however, depressed prices of May down to 75lc and the close waa weak, with May &lc lower at 75H75Hc. Receipts, 40 cars, one of contract grade, and Minneapolis and tuluth reported 348 cars, a total for the three points of 422 cars, against 2fi6 last week and 2f4 a year ago. Primary receipts were 447.000 bu., compared to 461,000 last year. . Seaboard clearances In wheat and flour equaled 604,000 bu. The seaboard reported thirty loads taken for export. Corn made the best show of strength of any of the pits. Prices were at a little decline at the opening In sympathy with wheat. Good support, however, developed at once. Southwestern markets were higher and sent in buying orders. Cables were slightly tip, receipts were small, the In terior movement was alow and reports had It that there was a good feeding demand. There was also a fair Immediate shipping demand. Prices soon broke away from the depressing Influence of wheat and even helped that cereal to some extent. May corn early sold up to 62c. Then came the wheat break and liberal selling of corn on spring influences followed. May lost its nolo ana sua ore to oi'c, closing at that figure, weak, being o lower than yesterday's close. Receipts were 112 cars. There was some small action In May oats today and for a time It was thought the expected flurry waa at hand. Prices of other options were slightly lower, but May started unchanged. The heavy long hold ings In May still keep the shorts on tenter nooks, wnen corn ana wneat Drone May lost some of Its gain, but other options closed easy. May closed Vic higher at 45He. Receipts atlll continue small and were (6 cars. Provisions ruled steady. The opening was firm and higher on better prices for hogs and there was a further advance on buying of pork and some ribs. Brokers supplied the demand and the late grain weakness took the strength out of the market. May pork closed 5c lower at $15.40, May lard SHc down at 13-40 and May ribs a shade off at SS.4&8.424.

Receipts were: Official Monday Official Tuesday Official Wednesday omciai inursuay Labor Controverales Are a Depressing; Factor Generally. NEW YORK. March 13.-Todavs stock market was again an affair of specialties, and the movement In the active leaders of the market was exceedingly confused and Irregular, and presented many direct re versals of the recently prevailing move ment in special stocks. The stocks of the largely capitalized railroad systems of the country which as sume the leadership of the market in times of great general specufatlon were neg lected and almost Immovable. In such tocks as Union Pacific. Southern Pacific. Atchison, St. Paul and Missouri Pacific, as well as many other usually active stocks, the outside range for the day did not cover more than point and in some only V. Yet the large dealings In some of the largely capitalized industrials and In rail road specialties of small capitalization there was sufficient activity to give the market some appearance of animation. Amalgamated Copper continued the most active stock In the market and the acute weakness of yesterday was overcome bv vigorous support. After ruling a fraction below last night during the early part of tne aay it rose above in the afternoon and finished with a net gain of a point. Sugar took Amalgamated coppers place in the column and suffered an extreme decline of nearly S points, but recovered all but a fraction of It. The varying opinions on the chances of Cuban sugar for a tariff con cession were the speculative matter in this stock. Manhattan was very active and ad vanced strongly. An uncovered snort in terest was reported to be a factor In this advance, but reports were circulated of large earnings. Other strong points were North America, the International sliver stnnka And n. n , i mhpr nf mtnnr anAnlnlttM without any explanation. Strength in lhe Wetlnlh' Com. sort coalers was aue to tne tie er tnat I uranui agreements had been reached with the miners. The Anthracite roads, on the other hand, reflected a recurrence of un easiness over the labor question, due to re ports or a tnreatened strike in a Lacka wanna company's mines. Reports of labor controversies in various parts of the coun try were discussed with interest and were a somewhat depressing factor generally. The Anthracite roads In consequence were Interrupted In their advancing tendency of yesterday. The rise in St. Louis South western preferred was due to the an nounced success of the plan for the con version of the company s second income bonds. Trade reports from the iron and steel Industry were responsible for the ad vance In the stocks of companies In that trade. In which the United States Steel stocks participated only moderately, owing to the discussion of the proposition for a bond issue for retirement of part of the preferred stock and for acquiring addi tional properties. While special stocks were advancing others were affected by profit-taking sales, arter having enjoyed recent substantial ad vances. The deposit of $750,000 at the sub- treasury for transfer to San Francisco called renewed attention to the situation of the money market. Not counting this withdrawal the subtreasury operations and previous transrers and gold exports show losses by the banks since the last state ment of upward of $6,000,000. as aa-alnst a surplus last Saturday of only $.11,958,426, M. do 2s si's N.

The demand was In good shape, however, so that the mar ket opened lainy active and steady to strong, as compared with yesterday. Some sales in tact looked a Utile higher. Toward the close of the market, however, buyers seemed to have their more urgent orders tilled and were a little bearish. The ad vance or the morning was all but lost and more, too, and the close could best oe described by calling it slow and weak. Sell ers were holding ior the morning bids, so that it was rather late before anythij like a clerance wa made. The liglu- weignt stuff was neglected, the same as It has been lor some time paet. Heavyweight hogs sold largely from $6.20 to $6.35 and as high as $6.40 was paid. Medium welgHts went from $6.10 to 46.20 and light hogs sold uum D.u uuwn. xvepreseniaiive sales: C. M. ft St. P.
