May wheat being a shade lower. May corn down 'o ami oats off a fraction, provisions rinsed steady, with May prod ucts from fc lower to 12V4-C higher.

May opened a shade higher at nV, and the market berame stronger aa the session advanced, May selling up to 7i7c on a better export demand and a decrease of j,9nft,l bushels In the world's visible eup jly, as reported ry Hradstreet'a. whlie prospects of colder weather In the north west also added to the bullish sentiment. Considerable liquidation occurred on the advance, but the market held fairly well until late In the day, when the break In corn caused a flump to 77c. The close was about steady, with May a shade lower at Tic. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 421.000 bushels. Primary re ceipts were 301,000 bushels, against 470.000 bushels a year ago.

Local recelpta were 172 cars. Some excitement was caused In the pro vision pit by the strong feeling displayed In lard e.trlv in the day. and active cover ing by shorts resulted In an advance of &'.o In the price of that commodity, hut part of the gain was lost on realizing SHlea. Pork opened at a sharp advance, hut heavy realizing caused a decline. Smaller receipts of hogs and higher prices at the yards, together with the light stock, were the bull factors.

Early the feature was buying of May and selling of July by commission houses. Ths pro vision crowd, who recently have been sell ers of May, have been buyers of July. Offerings have been email most of the time, and the market has been under the spell of fear of keeping short the May. Tho May-July difference narrowed slightly toward the cloBe. The cash market was easy and the eastern demand poor. New York reports 8 loads taken for export, Lo ral sales are put at 50,000 bushels. Local receipts, 488 cars, with 2 of contract.

Wabash Strike Situation Affects Rail. road Stocks. NEW YORK, March 8 Active liquidation set In on the stock market todav resulting In price losses at one time of from 1 to 3 points for the principal active stocks. There were one or two abortive rallies on occa sional profit-taking by hears, but they were not well held and the lowest prices of the day were touched during the Anal hour. There was a very substantial rally then, reaching from 1 to 2 points for many mar ket leaders, due to the general covering of shorts to take profits on the day's decline, but the market became unsettled again and closed eaay. The practical abandonment of the Aldrlch financial bill affected sentiment even at the opening, but vigorous support ing orders were distributed In the market and the decline was effectually checked. The vigorous upward movement In Manhat tan neiped to this end. At this point the effect of the money situation became con crete by the calling of loans to a large ex tent by the banks. This forced considerable liquidation and the bears made successive drives against the market. The buying de mand was so Insignificant that the bear tactics were very effective and uncovered large stop orders. The day's subtreasury statement showed withdrawals from the market by that in stitution yesterday of $1,851,000, bringing Its absorption since Friday up to $3,993,000. There seems to have been an awakening to the fact that last Saturday's bank state ment understated the decline In .cash by about half, so that the effect of last week's decrease on this week's bank statement will be correspondingly aggravated. The new Increase In the loans shown by the bank statement la also doubted, as the showing of the week's operations and yesterday's sale of $10,000,000 St. Louis Mountain bonds announced, with another $10,000,000 sup posedly taken by other Interests, Is an In dication of the continued heavy demand for credits. It was believed that strong inter ests were liquidating In the stock market today and presumably taking losses, owing to the hopelessness of advancing prices at Present and ths Immediate requirement for unds to protect more Important Interests elsewhere. The report of a stock brokerage failure In Boston was given a somewhat exaggerated significance by the con nivance of the bears and was a material factor for- a time In the weakness. The showing made by the railroads In the Janu uary reports of net earnings Is proving a heavy disappointment, as confident hopes have been Indulged that the Increase In freight rates In January would result In largely offsetting the growth In operating expenses. Manhattan was well supported throughout and the declaration of the usual dividends caused a show of strength In Sugar. Reports) of a strike on Its lines east of St. Louis made the Wabash stocks conspicu ously weak, but the news of the injunction against the labor men caused a partial rally In these stocks, -mere were wine aecnnes In a number of high grade seldom active stocks and the closing bid prices showed some still more notable recessions In stocks which were not dealt In. Bonds were weak In sympathy with the stock market. Total sales, par Yalue, $2 750, 000.

The local demand by Its self was In good shape, and there were also some outside buyers on the market who did a good deal to Im prove the situation. A fair proportion of the receipts consisted of cornfed steers and the quality of the offerings was about the same as for some time past. The market opened early and buying was brisk from start to finish. The market could safely be quoted strong to a dime higher. The handy weight cattle continued to be in the greatest demand, but still the heavy weights sold to better advantage than they have for the lost uvnral tiavs. Everything In the yards was disposed of In good season, although several trains were late in arriving, wmcu uiu the market to some extent. The cow maraer was aiso acuve anu stronger, There was some unevenness to the trade, for while some sales were not much better than yesterday, others were undoubtedly 6tS10c higher. The greatest Improvement was on ths better grades. While tne cannrn ewiu mwiii ww,o ,wv much more than steady to strong as com pared with yesterday. It Is ths better trades ot cornfede thst packers seem to be anxious wr m. w, ... n,,n. .old to better advantage today and the market could be quoted strong. Good stock bulls were a little higher. Veal calves were In active demand at fully steady prices. The demand for stockers and feeders was again brisk and the market ruled active and stronger on all desirable grades. Com mon stuff did not show any groat lm nrovement. Quits a good many warmed-up cattle sold for feeders. Representative ale: No. 1 1 1 t II 26 1 1 4 17 I 1 14.....
