JHAY WHEAT AND OATS CLOSE DOWN r alls Feree Cora l aad Wtdt Feels Cora Strength at Flrat, hot He lapses with Favorable ' Statistical Reports. CHICAGO. March 14. Corn strength dominated grains for the grester part of the session today. There were fcearlh factors at work In wheat, which finally prevailed In that (rain, but the coarser clrclex retarded for some time the looked for decline and Itself held Arm. At the close May wheat was o down. May corn 44c higher and May oats Ho lower. Provisions closed a shade lower to to higher. Local bulls took corn In hand shortly after the opening and easily forced prices tip the better part of a cent. Many bears went home laat night with short lines, ex pecting a further decline today on yes terday's weakness. Cables, however, wore remarkably steady. There was fear of a general spread of the cold wave In the northwest and a leading bull started In early to ball out the ofteringa In the pit. Feeding demand west was good and the west had nothing to sell. Kansas City was reported bidding lo over Chicago and Iowa yesterday. Keoelpts here were very light, and shorts In order to get out of their tight place had to bid up for the scarce offerings. The cash situation was much ; Improved, New England was buying and 'the southwest was still bullish. The buy ing here was good, but mainly by local people. The sentiment for a time was 'mixed, but eventually sided with the bulls. The break In wheat naa naming out a temporarily easing effect. May started un changed to 4o up at eiTdHKMHC advanced to ttimc eased momentarily, but closed Arm, higher, at tB4'84c. KecelpU I were ninety-one cars, . Wheat at one time during the seaslon felt enough of the corn strength and the below sero weather In the northwest to ac quire a firm tone and sell above yesterday's 'closing price. After the slump of yesier ,day the cables had a very steady tone. Commission houses were executing fair buying orders early; shorts became uneasy land covered. The Illinois crop report, in- rilcatlng a condition of 78, compared to 92 In April a year ago. was not considered bulllshly, ss the authorities stated there was no complaint of winter killing, and the mo In seemed strong and the plant In good color. The market was fairly active and showed a fair amount of strength up to noon. The strength of coarse grains aided materially In the situation, but later when statistical Journals announced the western conditions favorable the extreme heavy selling set in. St. Louis and the crowd were very bearish and prices suf fered a serious relapse. May, which opened a shade to HfiVc to 754c and sold up to 754c, dropped quickly to a weak close, 4fic lower at 744c Ix cal receipts were thirty-five cars, none of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth I reported 260 cars, making a total for tne ' three points of 206 cars, against 278 Inst week and 416 a year ago. Primary receipts were 417,000 bushels, compared to 577.000 bushels a year ago. Seaboard clearances "in wheat and flour equalled 137,000 bushels The seaboard reported thirty-five loads taken for export. Oats were dull and ruled fairly steady. The cash business was reported somewhat Improved and the corn strength aided toward better prices. The late break In wheat, however, caused some selling and a decline. Gossip has It that the leading bull professional, who has been credited with holding almost 10,000.000 bushels of May, has gradually been tranaferrlng hla holdings to July. Traders were predicting that the later option would go even higher than May has been selling at. Today Mav was dealt In very sparingly, opening lower, selling to 46c, anil closing He. down at 454c. Receipts were seventy-two cars. Provisions early were lower. In sym pathy with a lower hog market. Similar lair buying waa done through brokers for packers, but the late trade was dull. For a time prices advanced well, but the close was steady. May pork closed Be higher at $15.45. May lard a shade lower at 9.ft 0.42 and May ribs unchanged at $8.40f8.424. Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, SO cars; corn, 96 cars; oats, 66 cars; hogs, 26.000 head. The leading futures ranged as follows: Artlolee, Open, 1 High. I .Low.l Close, lYes'y.

There were some remarkable movements today among the obscure specialties, but the Important rep resentative stocks were neglected and practically Immovable. Some important de velopments In the money market ultuatlon helped the stock market to face with equlnamlty the forecast of a movement of currency of the week, which on Its face promised to wipe out entirely the slender surplus reserves of the banks. The rise in the call loan rate, about 4 per cent, the highest of the year, Indicated the pressure upon the money supplies. The settlement of the Boston strike was favorably Interpreted, although some un easiness prevails concerning the settlement of the yearly terms with the anthracite miners. The Increase In Southern railway preferred dividend had been expected with great confidence, but the stocks of that company advanced on the announcement, which also served as a checking movement on the general list. There were some sharp re.apses among minor stocks. Wabash debentures were active and strong, otherwise the bond market was Irregular. Total sales, par value, 83,995,000.

Hobblck Wolff ft M Other buyers Totals . 2,923 12.511 809 CATTLE There was a liberal run of cattle here today for this time of the week, which makes the supply for the five days this week considerably In excess of the same days of last week, and also of the corresponding days of last year. Packers did not seem to have very liberal orders, and as a result they tried to pound the market. Receipts Included quite a few beef steers, and while some sales were made that looked about steady, the bulk of the cattle sold a little lower. The better grades, if anything, were harder to dispose of than the medium kinds that sell from 16.50 to $6.80. Cattle above $6.00 do not seem to be In as good demand at present as the medium grades. Sales today wers made all the way from steady to a dime lower and trading was extremely slow all the morning. All but the very best grades of cows and heifers took a drop today, amounting to about a dime. Buyers seemed to want the extra choice grades, and they sold freely at steady prices, but the medium kinds and canners were very slow and generally a dime lower than yesterday. Bulls, veal calves and stags sold steady to a shade lower In sympathy with the easier feeling on steers snd cows. It took something very choice In the way of stockers snd feeders to bring steady prices. Speculators have about all the cattle on hand that they care for, and as a result they wanted to buy their supplies lower today. Anything common was very hard to dispose of, and prices were un evenly lower.

M.-8 There waa a heavy supply ef hogs in the yards this morning, as will bs seen from the table of receipts above. Other markets were all quoted lower, and as a result prices here took a drop a. so. The general market was about a dime lower than yesterday. In some esses ths very best hogs dla not sell quite, that much lower, but as a general thing buyers suc ceeded In taking off right a round a dime. The market was slow trom start to finish, and the morning waa well advanced before anything like a clearance waa made. The good weight hogs sold largely from $6.1 to 86.26, and as high as i.36 wss paid. Medium weights went mostly from tt.uO to t6.16, and the light hogs sold from $6.00 down. The Isst end ot ths market was weak and very slow, particularly on the underweight hogs. Representative sales; No. Av. Sh. Pr.
