LIFELESS WEEK ON BOURSE tVoIome of Transactions Diminishes and Coal Shares Weaken with Releases of Labor. GERUN, March 28 During the 1at reek the stagnation on the bourse grew more pronounced, no department showed any life, and transactions continued to shrink In volume. The professionals at tempted to realize, but outsiders were con- tpicuouBly holding aloof. Domestic loans iave held their own fairly well and some arge Investors have been buying In all the departments. Industrials were weak. The conviction ruins force that the quotations on Indus trials have Iwen driven too high, hence, riotwlthatanding the further price advances n Iron, Iron shares dropped several points. Ooa.1 shares also weakened upon the an nouncement that many operatives had been discharged In Westphalia, thirty-five mines having dismissed l.WO men. Wage reduc tions have also been announced for April. fThe coal syndicate has Just decided to rale Ihe restriction on the output to 24 per cent. This restriction has hitherto been 2d per cent. The American purchases of Iron at tract Increased attention. Two cargoes of 1.809 tons of spelgeielxen will leave soon for Klaltlmore. Two banks failed to respond to the an nouncement of Russian and other loans. Itrhe Dlsconto Oeesellchaft has announced n Inereaee of capital of 20.000,000 marks, which Is offered to stockholders at ISO. The market regards this price as too high and the quotation has consequently dropped. The Increase of 20.000,000 marks in the capi tal of the Hamburg-American Steam Packet company will be offered to stock holders at 104. Quotations on the shares of ocean trans- fiortatlon companies fell further on the ncrease In the capital of the Hamburg American Bteam Packet company and the report that the dividend of the North Oerman LJoyd company would not realize expectations. - CLOTHS CONTINUE STRONG Bring; Good Prices and Probably Will Maintain Them While Yarns ' Harden. MANCHESTER. March 23. The refusal Of the outlets abroad to respond to the firmness abroad caused an unsatisfactory return on the cloth market last week. Nevertheless, the market continues strong and the buyers had to pay stiffly for any thing required. There is a general feeling that the prices of cloth "are too low In comparison with the prices of cotton. If the latter prices are maintained, as seems probable, and ;wlth the further curtailment In the pro duction of yarns and the strengthening of values, there Is no prospect of lower cloth prices. . Some business In light goods and special ties was transacted with India, and the eventual outlook is fairly hopeful, the satisfactory tenor of the recently published Indian budget Justifying that view. The low level of the present offerings Is at tributed largely to distrust of the stability of cotton va-lues. During the last week a moderate trade In the standard makes was transacted with China at comparatively reasonable figures. There was some Inquiry from South America, with occasional re cults, and there was some extensive buying from Chile and Peru. Yarns have a tendency to harden and fcuyers hesitate to operate largely. Spinners complain of- the unremuneratlve margin and that the cost of production Is rarely realised. CALM ON STOCK EXCHANGE tioory Is Scarce, with No Prospect of Increase, and Mines Ars , , ttscsant, I3NDON, Marrh 23. The movement of t'.ie last week on the Stock exchange la hardly worth recording. Money was scarce and there Is a prospect of its becoming scarcer with the approaching quarter day, while the selling of continental securities on the Iondon market, probably In view of the new Kusslan loan, further restricted the rash supply and generally affected In ternationals adversely. - The uncertainty of the form to be taken by the new British loan was also a dis turbing factor of the week. The .public seems to have shaken off its speculative fervor entirely. Home rails declined con siderably In. spite of favorable trnffla re turns. American securities rallied somewhat toward the end of the week In response to the improvement in New lorn. Mines were absolutely stagnant. Report of Bank of Spain. MADRID, March 23.

SENSATIONAL DAY FOR SPECULATORS Over Tn-o Cent Drop In torn, nnl Other t.ralns Art In mpth Provisions Assnnie airons; ttirt. but Break Even. CHICAGO. March 22.-Graln markets were uemoiallzed today. Bears had a Unlit clutch on the situation and squeezed hold rs unmercifully. Weather conditions in wheat Blurted the drive, but when corn bcKHii to tumble speculators became almost punlc-strli ken. There seemed to be no end to the selling and at the end of the session May wheat had lost 1VJ1V May corn 2'c anu May oats 14c Provlnions were natur ally strong and fought off the grain ln lluence, closing 2c lower to 2lc higher. There wns nothing but bear talk from start to finish In the wheat pit. Tho open ing was very weak on confirmation ot tne rains In the southwest and additional showers fell west and northwest. Cables also were weak and turned weaker ns the day advanced. Receipts, both local and northwestern, were still small, but this In fluence, together with that of some fair early export trade, was lost sight of In the mad rush to throw stuff overboard. Bulls were nearly In a panic. There was a gen eral desire to sell both by the shorts and the longs. Trade was heavy and at times very exciting. Farmers were reported sell ing freely in the southwest. May opened S'Utto to Vtf'eo lower at 73(32Hc and be fore the early selling rush quieted down May touched 72c. Shorts here began tak ing some of their shorts and the market steadied, though there was still a marked oearisn leeiing prevalent. Then corn, which was very weak to start, turned still weaker. There was almost a panic In that pit and tne aemoraiixea conauion oi mat market was reflected in wheat. May wheat dropped to llc. Bears were selling short In great quantities and every holder of long wheat lost heavily. Stoo-loss orders also added a downward Impetus. it wan expected that a good export busi ness would spring up at the low prices and late in the day New York did report 113 loads taken. 1 here was also a sale of 110.- 000 bushels of No. 2 hard winter sold here for shipment, but shorts were not fright ened. For a time there was some buying by prominent houses, but this only brought a Biigni reaction. Traders tnougnt that had not this buying come out the slump might have been worse. May continued very weak and closed 1H1VC depressed at 72c. This price is the lowest for Mav since early in October. Receipts, 22 cars, none contract; Minneapolis and Duluth reported 267 cars, a total for the three points of 2R9, against ana last week ana ts a vear ago. Primary receipts were 447.000 bushels, com pared to 676,000 bushels last year. Austra lian shipments were 321,000 bushels, against 498,000 bushels last year. Seaboard clear ances in wheat and flour equaled 330,000 bushels. Corn took a headlong- tumble at the nnen. lng. Lower cables, warmer weather and general country selling, following hard upon tne wheat weakness, resulted In an opening for May Uc to ic lower at 69 E9Hc. Nearly every house on the floor had selling orders, mop-loss orders were soon reached and May sagged to 594o befote some fairly heavy purchases. stitiDosed to be for a heavy short line, steadied prices. but It was soon argued that farmers were more inclined to dispose of their holdings and the bears started hammering again. At times good covering was done at the declining prices. But In corn, as In other ? rains, tnere was always mors long stuff or sale than could be absorbed. May corn plunged down to 68e and hung very heavy, clostng weak. 2c lower at that figure. Receipts. 134 cars. Trade was verv large more so than in several weeks. From the start oats ruled weak. Advan tage was taken of the weakneas in corn and wheat to hammer May options, and they suffered much. July and September were weaa witn otner grains. Dut met with a fair support. Receipts were large and 40 per cent or tnem were contract grade. The warmer weather is doing much to encour age bears. There wns still much nervous ness in May, which started 3l4a lower at 42V4C to 42c and declined early to 414c. There was fair support at this low figure and May reacted to 42Sc, but on the second corn break oats flattened out and May closed weak, lHo lower at 41c Receipts were 149 cars. Provisions early developed a very strong tone in the face of such depression an was experienced in grains. Hogs were higher and receipts lighter. There was a mod demand In all products and offerings were very light at the advances that were made. Towara tne close, however, when the big brenk came In corn, provisions lost some or tnetr gains ana closed only sbout steady May pork, which sold as high aa $15.70. closed 2Hc lower at $15.60, May lard a shade higher at .4iftCa.oo ana May ribs 2V.c up at $8.67.

Instructions asked for not fairly within this rule should be re fused. ' ' 4.

E.... 1 CATTLE There were not enough cattle here today to make a market, and for the week receipts have also been rather moderate. A decrease of about 2,000 head Is noted as compared with the previous week, and as compared with the same week of last year there is a still greater de crease. The demand on the part of local Dackers has been active all the week, ana as a result the market has been active and strong. A fair proportion or me onenngs mis week consisted of beef steers, and some of the cattle showed considerable quality. The bulk of the offerings, however, was made up of the medium grades, and the demand for that class of cattle was exceptionally good. In fuct, handyweight cattle of medium price are selling better than the choice heavyweights, though all kinds are higher than they were a week ago. As a general thing the market may be quoted Wn'2oc higher. The greatest advance has been on the medium kinds, flood to choice cattle are quotable from $6.00 to $6.75, me dium grades from $5.40 to $5.90, and the commoner gtao.es are selling irom a.jo down. The cow market is aiso very active so far as good stuff is concerned, and prices are now at the highest point reached so far this year. Packers are all very anxious for the better grades and are paying pro portionately higher prices for them than for steers. In view of the high prices ruling the market is, of course, rather uneven, but there Is no doubt but what the kinds that are selling from $4.75 to $"i 60 are higher than they were a week ago. Cattle that sell below $4.00 are neglected and no more than steady with last week, fanners. In particular, are hard to dispose of, as none or me pacaers seem to want, them and sellers have to take whatever they can get. Bulls, veal calves and stags are all fully as high aa they were a week ago. Good stuff sells readily, but common stuff Is There have been a good many stock cattle on sale, and prices on both steers and she stuff is 154j25c lower for the week except where the quality Is very choice. The best grades are fully steady. Strictly prime m-elirhlnir from 1.000 tO l.lllO DOUIldS would doubtless sell at $5.00 or better. The bulk of tne came ut-iua unr-iu, imwevri, are selling from $3.75 to $4.25, with most of the good to choice grades going from llK n Li HOGS There was not a very large rin of hogs here today and the tendency of prices continued upward, which carries the orU to the highest point of the month. The demand was active on the part of local packers and It only took a short time for the DU1S. Ul mo unt-i iiiro iu i iiniiKfl v,or.. The extreme close of the market was a Utile slow and weak, as packers seemed to have their more urgent orders filled. The general market, however, was a big nickel higher. In some cases sales were made that were a good deal more than a nickel higher, but hi, occurred more often with the lighter Hogs. From this it is seen that the market was rather uneven, but the awrage price shows an advance of more than 5c. The bulk of the hogs sold from $0.35 to $6.45. Choice heavy hogs sold largely from $6 35 to $6.45, m rii.im welKhts went from to 25 to $6.35 and the lighter loads from $6.25 down. The niinllm of the hoks as a whole was good. Receipts cf hogs for the week have been . tritl leva than for the last several weeks. but as compared with the same week of lat year mere ib an increase, i ne gen eral tendency of prices has been upward oil th week, the only setback having oc curred on Thursday. The total advance for the week amounts tu a nine over due. No. Av. 41 119 13 188 82 10 6i 1M 13 HO 26 1"2 97 176 94 196 96 177 Pr. No. Av. Bh.

For the week receipts have only been fair, as a slight decrease In noted as compared with last week and as compared with the same week of last year there Is a still greater decrease. The table at the head of the column shows the exact figures. The IochI demnnd has been of liberal proportions all the week and ns a result the market Is conslderabl v higher than It was a week ago. it Is noticeable, however, that packers all want the good stuff, while the commoner kinds are more or less neglected. The quality of the offerings this week has not been very good, which has had rather a bad effect upon the market. It is safe to say, however, that nnythlng good in the way of sheep la 15g2oc higher than at the close of last week. I.xmlis have also Im proved, but there has been nothing choice offered the last few days to make a fnlr test 01 tne market. The general opinion Is, however, that strlctlv choice lambs would sell 15c or 25c higher than the same kinds Diougnt last week. Feeders have been In light supply all the week, while the demand has been quite UDerai for desirable grades of both sheep ana tamos, as a result prices are strong and, If anything, a little higher than last weea.
