OfTerlnss were not enough to sup' ply the demand. Trade was guesswork all around. After the early advance there was a patise and the market quieted down. Liquidation at top prlcea brought good profits. There was a good demand for cash articles, which, together with strong tables, helped In putting a bullish Inter pretation on every bit, of newa. Traders In all pits were talking of the remarkabls outlook for speculation and manipulation In com. News continues to arrive of farm ers proceeding with seeding. The visible supply deereawed 1,000,000 bu.-now 7.500,(100 bu., against 22.0W.O0O bu. a year ago. The country traders Saturday must have corn, and there Is little of that. After the ad vance May corn sold off to OlHc, but raW lied again and closed strong, c up, at 82'c. Receipts were qnly 56 cars. Wheat started out steady on unrespon sive cables and rains In the southwestern wheat country May opened He to He lower at 72S''ai3c, but at once felt the In fluence of the soaring corn market. In a very short time covering and an Invest ment demand sent May to T3SiC. As corn began itr decline after the opening bulge whuut eased off. Then a big line was sold '-for a leading bull professional and as the "tallers" filed In to sell, the market slumped off below Saturday's close. The southwest aold here and those markets were lower. Commission houses were on . both sides of the market, but principally sold. Liquidation for profits was very pop ular. The visible decrease of 1,800,000 bu. was a little more than expected, but had no effect. Trade was active. May cloned weak at Its lowest point, c oft, at 72 V. Local receipts were 25 cars, 2 of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 1X3 cars, making a total for the three points of 208 cars, against 27 last week and 400 a year ago. Primary receipts were 308,000 bu., against 6(i3,or last year. Beabonrd clearances In wheat and flour equaled 271, 000 bu. The llrlllHh budget today Imposing an Import duty equal to about c a bushel on wheat and an equivalent duty on flour was a weakening Influence. World's ship ments were 8,062,000 bu., compared to 10. lbti.OiiO bu. last year. On passage, bread stuffs decreased 507,000 bu. Trade In oats waa fair and on the corn Influence prices advanced. May and July were bought liberally by receivers. Offer ings were small. The crowd usually In oats devoted much of Its time to corn. The prospect of more llberul. receipts caused some selling. May started unchanged to Sc up at 42W42',ic, sold to 43c and closed Vsc up at 42V,c. Receipts were 151 cars. Provisions had a fair general trade. Hogs were stead y, but the demand for products was good and packers supported. Commission houses were good buyers. The tone was stronger all day, but realizing on the advance produced In some of the grains. May iwirk closed Be up at I18.82H, May lard a shade lower at 13.724 and May ribs 5c higher at $9.1214J.

Day of Varying; Sentiment, with Fe verish and Eielted Close. NEW TORK. Aorll 14. There was a feverish and exited close In today's stock market, after a day of varying sentiment. The early strength was not maintained In spite of wide advances In a few stocks and the course was gradually downward until the late dealings, when there was a sRneml break all around. Prices had arisen again after the sagging tendency under the stimulus of the extraordinary advancea In some of the grangers and north westerns. But the perception or real ising under cover of this strength, and he sensational advance to 133 In Louis ville & Nashville unsettled sentiment again and led to the general unloading in the Anal dealtnga. There were some feverish and spasmodic rallies, but the market closed feverish and Irregular with a weak undertone. Much attention and surmise were given to the Louisville A Nashville situation, and the disposition to be made of its control, whloh Is now without dissent understood to have escaped Its long-time holders. Rome hope Is entertained that a community of Interests among the southern trunk lines will be worked out as a result of the new control whicn seems to have been acquired without any large railroad policy In view. but simply for speculative profits. It Is patent that financial and railroad Inter ests are now striving to readjust the situa tion from the standpoint or railroad policy, which necessitates a settlement to the sat isfaction of the Interest which have se cured the control almost by chance. The action of the stock today did not Indicate any very definite prospect pf settlement, the feverish flight of the stock Indicating rather profound unsettlement and uncer tainty of the speculative mind. The remarkable rise in northwestern grangers waa without explanation, unless it was the result 01 pure manipulation to further proflt-taklng at other points. The Chicago et Northwestern stocks. St. Paul Ac Omaha and the St. Paul stocks were marked up In a short period of trad ing from 24 to 13 points. St. Paul relapsed as suddenly to below Saturday and fluctuated at the last al most as wildly as Louisville itself. The money market was appreciably eas ier aa a result of the stronger condition of the banks as revealed by Saturday's statement. But the extent to which out standing credits are Involved In the great speculative operations going on In the stock market is not entirely satisfactory to the conservative minds and was the sub ject of much comment and some criticism today. Reports of rain In the winter wheat belt were productive of much buying of stocks and reports were received ot a heavy merchandise movement on western rail roads, in spite of . the shrunken propor tions of the grain movement. The February statement of the Missouri PaclAc did not serve to corroborate this view, the net earnings for the month de clining $436,926 and for the two . months $9o8.226, comoared with the corresponding penoa ot last year. The peace rumors from London helped the early strength In the market, although the buying from that source seemed to be in the nature of reinvestment of the proceeds of Louisville & Nashville stock sold.

Contrary to expectations, tht English market started out quite steady In tone, with prices about a point better than anticipated. Again fur ther talk of peace In South Africa helped to alarm bears here Nevertheless, soon after the call, heavy Wall street and com mission house selling, chiefly of July and Augustrweakened the whole market.

The big bulk of the offerings this morn ing consisted of beef steers, and while the quality was not as good as on some previous days, there were, nevertheless, tin He a few good to choice cattle on sale. The general market was Just about steady, with the close of last week, but the trade was not very active. Owing to the mode rate receipts practically everything was sold In good season, but In some cases sellers thought they had to sell their com mon kinds a shade lower. A string of Montana hayfed cattle sold as high as tti.lo, but they were good. Taking quality Into consideration, t.iat was considered just a good, steady price. The iw market was fully steady on the good 40 choice kinds and buyers took hold of the cattle anawerlng to that descrip tion In fairly good shape. The commoner kinds, though did not move very freely, the same aa has been the case all along, and prices on such kinds were 'certainly no more than steady. Bulls, veal calves and stags all sold In just about the same notches, they did last week. There were not many atockers and feed ers on sale today and the good heavy weight cattle brought steady prices with out difficulty. A slow market, though was experienced on the common light weight cattle, and while prices were not much different from the close of last week, still it was very evident that no one wanted the common light weight cattle. , Repre sentative sales: ' BEEF STEERS.

Packers did not take hold with mnrh life, as there was not enough to make a good killing for any one house. The general market was slow, but about utendv elth Saturday. The light hogs were very hard to dispose of. the same as they have been all along, and In some rases sellers could not even get a bid on their light hogs.' The range of prices was Just about the same as on Saturday. The bulk of thp good weights sold from 8 9i) to a7.on. Tho medium weights went largely from 16.80 to $fi9n and the light stuff from $6.0 down. Hcprenentatlve sales: No. A. Sh. Pr No. 1 Av. Bh. Pr. 2 171 4 f5 75 127 ... 13 ... t S Tt tl ...

Pnckers took hold In fairly good shape and owing to the light receipts of sheep the market on ewes and wethers could be quoted steadv to strong, as compared with last week. There were no choice yearlings offered, but some clipped wethers sold as high as 8.V4.V The lamb market was not atilte as brlsk. but especially on the start the market was fully steaay. Toward the close the feeling was not quite as good, but still the general market could be quoted about steady. As high as 86 86 and 86.90 was paid for some choice Mexicans. Clipped lambs sold up to I6((0. There were not enough feeders In the yards to make a test of the market, but It Is safe to say that anything at all good would have brought steady prices.
