CMirAOO, March 31. Speculation In
a-rnlns was active and nervous tmlay, fol
lowing the Irregular antics of the corn pit.
Trade was largely of a manipulative char
acter which puzzled the public. At the
clone May wheat was unchanged. May corn
'1r'tr. higher and May oat, c higher.
Provisions were weak for a time, but closed
unchanged to 2'c higher.
There waa good strength In corn at the
outset, due to the Influence of the cold
weather west and southwest. This waa
h good excuse to start covering and buy
ing, but the crowd, which has been active
of late. In a bull dial In July options
Jumped into the pit and sold I,ii0,fl00 bush
el, of that delivery in about ten minutes.
Speculators were staggered for a time and
all prices lost In consequence; July lost 1c
straight to WV,c and May. which opened
kfi'dC to fjSc higher at WUVic. slipped
down to (,:r. It was thought that the
bull crowd had Intentionally bid up the
opening prices preparatory to the heavy
pelllng. After this break corn seemed to
absorb In a quiet manner, and It was sup
posed the cereal was finding Its way bark
to enrlv holders. There whh a disposition
to cover on the bull deal; talk and prices
advanced gradually. The close was firm.
Alav MiViC higher at ftrtcr"ilccclpts were
117 cars. . ,
A natural reaction from Saturday s de
cline and the effect of the corn strength
caused wheat to open a shade to Vll "e
higher at 711,'f71c. Statistics, except the
Increase on passage, were bullish. Cold
weather. though lightly spoken of, hnd Its
effect through corn. The early mirkj't
waB strong and was aided materially by
commission house buying. All this show of
a reviving market went glimmering, how
ever, when corn broke lc. The market
was very unsettled. Th southwest was
brarloh at times and sold heavily here.
Stop-loss orders were received and May
prices reached a new low mark for tne
'season 7o'c. The Increase of 2,i9.oiO
bushels In breadstuffs on passage was con
strued bearlshly by the crowd. Late In
the day there was some talk of crop dam
age In the southwest, but most of lh
speculators were Inclined to treat the ar
gument lightly. Crop experts expect the
next government report to show a condition
of 60 to 70 per cent for Kansas. As corn
recovered scalpers took advantage of the
absence of a selling pressure In wheat to
botst prices again and May, rallying, closed
unchanged at 71yii71Uc. Local receipts
were seventy-nine cars; none of contract
grade: Minneapolis and Duluth reported
391 cars, making a total for the three points
of ;o cars, against 611 cars last week and
W2 cars a year ago. Primary receipts were
679.000 bushels, compared with 867,000 bush-Is
a year ago. Seaboard clearances In wheat
end flour equalled 510u0 bushels.
Oats were dull and featureless. There
was very little selling pressure, but also
no demand. The market was easy at times
In the absence of demand, and on tne
weakness In other grnlns. Changes were
, only fractional. When corn rallied oats
closed highest of the pits. May sold to
42M.C and closed Arm He up at 42c. Receipts
were 133 cars.
Provisions were active and Irregular.
There was an early strong feeling in tne
face of a weaker ho? market, but It did
not last long. Commission liquidated for
outside longs liberally, especially In May
and July pork. This depressed prices and
showed that the bulge of the last week or
so was mainly caused by short covering.
Packers came to the rescue of the market
bv buying through broker, and even s-nt
prices above Saturday's closing figures.
Realizing sales toward the end of the ses
sion brought dips again and May pork
closed unchanged at $16.56; May lard un
changed at lil.77, and May ribs 2V,c higher
at $i HO.
There will be no session of the board to
morrow because of municipal elections.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
V5 cars: corn, 173 cars; oats, 130 cars; hogs,
29,000 head.

Brisk Opening" on L, change Develops
Into Seml-Staanatlon.
NEW YORK. March 31-The professlrn.il
element on the Stock exchange had Nome
hopes that the favorable bank statement
published Saturday during the holldaj In
terval In the trading would Induce some
speculative activity and they marked up
prices at opening today with a show of
recovery. The market, however, almost
Immediately developed the special character
which has been the rule of late and fell
Into heaviness and semi-stagnation. There
was another upward movement toward the
end of the day, based on the assumption
that the quarterly and monthly disburse
ments to be made tomorrow and the com
pletion of the preparation for them would
result In a relaxation of the money mar
ket. But the last upward movement
showed signs of being abortive like that
st the opening and did not extend to a
large number of stocks.
St. Paul was about the only stock which
Is usually prominent to show an advance
of over a point, despite the decrease In net
earnings for February, reported today,
while Union Pacific, which reported a
handsome Increase In February net earn
ings, fell short of the one point advance
and reacted again before the close. Rock
Island's 4-puli.t advance and the gains by
the Chicago Northwestern stock were
not very convincing, while the rise of all
the way from one to over six points In a
group of less conspicuous stocks was quite
effective to Induce speculative following.
The Canadian Pacific group. Including the
Minneapolis, St. Paul fc Sault Ste. Marie
stocks, and the Duluth, South Shore t
Atlantic, were most conspicuous In this
category. Hocking Valley also forged up
ward 24.
The activity In these was dwarfed by the
overwhelming preponderance of Colorado
Fuel. Amalgamated Copper and Sugar In
the dealings. All of these stocks were de
pressed after the opening, but recovered
sharply, Sugar rising a point above last
week on account of the report from the
committee on ways and means of the
Cuban reciprocity bill. All three stocks
reacted again at the close, which was ir
regular. Although the completion of the prepara
tion for the April 1 settlement seems to
Insure the money market against any pres
ent flurry, there Is no expectation in well
informed circles of an early relaxation In
money rates.- Foreign demands are too
large to permit the money rate here to
rjn down without drawing gold.
Today's advance In spirits despite the
closed markets In money and Paris Indi
cates that gold may go out anyhow. The
British chancellor of exchequer will un
doubtedly take effect of the position to
place the new loan, which Is expected to
amount to $250,0ofl,oil0 the monthly Install
ments on which will hold the market Arm
In the future.
Government Interest payments here In
New York of about $3,000,000 will be promi
nently offset by deposits of lawful money
to retire bank circulation to the $3,000,000
monthly limit allowed, applications for
which are on file In Washington. Other
uncertainties which have overhung the
market for some time past and relief which
does not appear In sight promise to keep
a restraining Influence on speculation for
the Immediate future.
Some of the speculative bonds were In
clined to advance, but there was no general
activity In the market. Total sales, par
value, $1,466,000. United States bonds were
unchanged on the lust call.

The market ojiened strong with prices 4
to 12 points higher, and continued to ad
vance during the next half hour on fever
ish demand frem thoroughly frightened
shorts who had looked for little or no
.l.a.ige on the call. But tne supprt was
not a feature of early trading, In tact, the
more timid longs sold eagerlv for profits,
believing the market would later react In
the absence of general speculative support.
Light receipts over the holiday season,
very bullish visible supply figures lor the
week Just ended, bullish spot market re
pcrts from the south, more cheering ad
vices from spinning centers and light cell
mates for this week's "In sight" were the
leading features of the day. Toward mid
day there was a slight reaction under Sell
ing for both accounts by room operators,
but later the entire list stiffened up slgniti
cantly. The "in sight'' figures of Superin
tendent King of the Cotton exchange for
tho last week were several thousand bales
smaller than predicted and the Increase in
the New York stock was barely worthy of
notice. Larger estimates of spot cotton In
the south were reported and the trade as
a whole waa Inclined to the belief that Liv
erpool will tomorrow come the full 6 to 64
points higher due. Instead of the expected
reaction near the close under profit-taking
the market held at the top to the last,
closing steady and net 11 to 17 points
higher. The south and Europe bought here
from time to time during the day. Wall
street trading was not a factor.

CATTLE There was not a heavy supply
of cattle here today, and as the local de
mand was of liberal proportions the mar
ket ruled active and steady to strong on
desirable grades. It only took a short time
for practically everything at all good to
change hands, but, of course, the common
stuff was somewhat neglected.
There were quite a lew beef steers in
cluded In the receipts this morning, but
none too many to meet the requirements
of the local trade. Buyers were all out
early and the market could safely be quoted
steady to strong, and a good many sales
looked 6&10c higher than last week. The
medlumwelghts continued lu the best de
mand, and It was on cattle answering to
that description that the strength of the
market was most noticeable. As high as
$6.65 was paid for a bunch of steers that
weighed only 1,298 pounds, but they were
In good condition.
The cow market was In about the same
condition It haa been for some little time
past. That is, the good to choice grades
sold freely at firm prices, while the medium
and common grades were neglected and
hard to dispose of. As a general thing,
however, that was not much change from
Friday in the prices paid for either the
good or the common kinds. The pens were
cleared In good season.
Bulls, veal calvea and stags were In ac
tive demand this morning, where the qual
ity was satisfactory, at steady prices.
Stock cattle showing weight and quality
commanded steady prices, and buyers took
hold of that claas ot cattle In good shape.
The light and common grades, though,
were hard to move, and sellers had to al
most drag buyers Into the pens. There Is
almost no demand from the country for
light, common cattle, and as at result specu
lators do not want to buy that kind unless
they can get It at a low figure. Representa
tive sales:

HOOS-There was no more than an ordi
nary run of hngp here today, but as oth-r
markets were all quoted a little lower, th
feeling at this point was also weak. The
situation could probah'y best be described
ny (ailing the market steady to a sha le
lower, anil In some cases sales were made
that looked a nickel lower. 'I he quality of
the offerings was hardly as good today us
on Saturday, and there were no prime hog-,
to make a top with, so that the h.gli pilcj
today Is 5c lower than on Saturday-. As a
general thing the best higs sold about
steady, while the commoner grades were
weak to a shade lower. AlthiuiRh the
market was not nctive at any time, and
the close was slow and weak. s 1 1 1 1 most
everything was sold in fairly good season.
The range of prices was about the same
ss at the close of last week. The best
heavy hoss sold mostly from $) 65 to fi 70.
Meiliumweights sold largely from $i.5-M
to $K60, whlK- the light hogs sold from $6 50
down. Representative sales:

SHEEP There was a light run of sheep
here today, and the market could be quoted
active and steadv all around, even though
the quality was far from being choice.
Colorado lambs sold as high as $6.5". but
they were not choice and considering the
quality, the price paid was fully steady
with the close of last week. The sheep on
sale were also of common qunllty, but they
sold without much trouble at steady prices.
It was evident from the way packers
acted that good stulT would have sold
readily at steadv to strong prices.

has passed the senate and Is now pending
In the house. The prefld. nt staled that h

It pass In Its present form. 11 ml he left the
Impression that he would do so. A veM

of the bill that he is Id hearty accord with
its general purposes, but his obieetlon to
this provision was so strong that it would
prompt him to reject It in Us entirely. The
president his told the Irrlga tlonlst's that
there are 11 number of other provisions to
which he Is opposed. These, nowevrr. are
of i minor nature, and could be easily
altered.
The provision as to state control, how
ever. Is one which the iri'lsatlonlsts fought
out among themselves and spent days In
considering. The hill wns prepared by a
committee of senators and repretentsllves
from the dlfTi-ri nt "tales h iving arid and
seml-tirid land. Some of ihese legislators
saw reasonable b.ecllon to piato control
and contended that it i-h uil I not be a pro.
vision In the bill. They caril -d 'he'r op
position to a point where It l.ecam- ap
parent that unless the yli Idi d no agree
ment could be reached among themselves
When the malter was jot 10 iinnl vote
among the lrrlgatlonlsts who iiad assem
bled In the commltt e room et Senator
Warren there was an overwhelming matur
ity in favor of stite control. It Is a knowl
cdae of these conditions which leads Sen
ators llanshnniKh. W'arrin and Repre
sentatives Metciilf. Moody and Rredcr to
believe that the president's nbj- ctlon to the
bill meant the abandonment of irrigation
legislation at the prei-cnt session of con
gress. While the advocates of lirlsa'lon lcgMa
tlon are greatly discouraged over :he po
sition taken by the president, they admit
that there Is much force in his argument
against the state control of waters to be
used for Irrigation purposes. The passage
of the bill In Its present form. It Is ndm't
tcd. would give Colo-a 10. for Instance,
practically complete control of wateis of
the Arkansas river and other streams that
flow through the state and Into other (.tales.
The attempted pre-emption of the waters of
the Arkansas by Colorado Is the cause nf
litigation now pending In the supreme
court of the I'nlted States between Arkan
sas and Colorado. The waters of the Plitte
would furnish a source fur slmllsr litiga
tion between Colorado and Nebraska. The
president's position Is a contention for an
equitable distribution to be decided upon
by officials of the government of the waters
of rivers that ore to be drawn upon for '
the reclamation of arid lands In the west
ern states.
