Jn spite of a generally bullish sentiment In the corn pit the market was a little easier. Influenced by the break In wheat. The ojnlng was strong on higher cables and on the unfavorable weather, but when wheat started on It downward course the selling In corn became quite pronounced and the market was unable to resist the train and prices eased off, but steadied at a little under yesterday's final fla-nr ih close being easy, with May 4c lower at 7c, after selling between 47c and 477e. lxoal recelpta were 278 cara, with 2 of con tract grade.

March 7.-The Mock mar ket was tlwown Into a condition of de moralisation today by the disclosure of the fact that the surplus reserve of the clear ing house banks was practically wiped out. Excluding government deposits, this Item Is now $Hrt.975, compared with $.1,958,458 at this time last year and $10,717,275 two yesrs ago. ,The severe loss In cash reserves was about as much above the preliminary estimates as lost wee-.t s loss was below it. The $10,000,000 loan contraction fulfilled the expectations that the stock market liquida tion of the week and the shifting of loans to foreign money markets would be re flected In that Item, but the loan contrac tion must have been near $40,000,000 to keep puce with the rate of depletion of cash re serves. No reader of the bank statement could be left In doubt that further calling of loans would have to be resorted to by the banks next week, and operators threw over stocks in all directions to prepare for this emergency. Some futile efforts were made to check the decline by supporting orders, but these proved too flimsy for the purpose and prices broke violently to the lowest of the week. Prices were crumbling dangerously when the market closed at about the lowest and on very active deal ings. Fierce raiding tactics by the bears were a factor In the slump. The specu lative contest In Union Pacific- was made evident by the extreme break of 3 in thit stock. Ixsees In St. Paul. Canadian Pa cific, Manhattan, New York Central and St. Louis & San Francisco ran from 3 to 34. -The hank statement appeared to be the sole factor In the market and before Its appearance the trading was languid and sluggish. The assignment of Dresser A Co, . was not announced until after the close of the market. Bonds have suffered In common with stocks In the week's selling movement. I'nlted States 2s, coiipon, and 3s, coupon, advanced 4 and the 2s, registered, declined 4 per cent as compared with the closing call of last week.

For the week supplies have been falriv liberal, but still there is a decrease as compared' with last week. When comparisons are made wltb the same week of last year, however,' It will be seen that there Is a good substan tial Increase. The table above will show the exact figures. The beef steer market has been In very satisfactory condition all the week. Pack ers have apparently had liberal orders, so that each day's receipts have been dis posed' of In good season. As compared with the close of last week. It Is safe to quote the market strong to a dime higher. All gradea have sold to better advantage this week than last and shippers have been better satisfied with the prices they received than for some little time past. The bulk of the fair to good cattle have sold from $4.15 to $4.50. Oood to choice $4.60 to $5.00 and strictly prime cattle may be quoted from $6.00 to $6.60. The cow market has also been In pretty good shape all the week. There has beer, some unevenness to the trade, so that some bunches sold to betiar advantage than others, but as a general thing cutters and the better grades of beef cows are about steady for the week, fanners have been somewhat neglected and are, perhaps, a shade lower. Good lightweight heifers have been In strong demand and the prices paid show an advance for the week amountlnir to 1520c. Canferb have sold from $1.75 to $2.75. Fair tu good cows from $2.75 to $3.50, and choice grades from $3.60 to $4 26. Bulls have sold to better advantage this week than last, and are. If anything, a little higher. Veal calves are selling In Just about the same notches they have for some time past. The supply of stockera and feeders has been moderate and as there was quite a brisk demand from the country the market ruled active and strong. Fair to good stock cattle sold from $3.50 to $3.75. Oood to choice, $3.75fi4.50, and common stuff from $3.50 down. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS. No. At. Pr. No. At.

HOGS There was not a heavy run of hogs today for a Saturday, and as other markets were a little higher prices here advanced generally about a dime. Trading was fairly active, so that the bulk of the offerings was disposed of In good season. Oood heavy hogs sold largely from $7.15 to $7.26 and a little bunch brought $7,274. The medium weights sold from $7.10 to $7.15, and the light stuff from $7. to dewn. The heavy weights were in the nest demand today, the same as has been the case for some time past; and salesmen occasionally thought they did not sell the lighter loads quite a dime higher. Receipts of hogs this week have been rather light, as there is a decrease both as compared with last week and with the corresponding week of last year. As a re sult prices nave moved steadily upward and have reached the highest point since last October. Representative sales: No. AT lu 116 to to 213 Sh. Pr. No. At. 8a.

For the year to date the Increase amounts to about 75,000 head. The sheep market has been in very sat isfactory condition all the week. The qual ity of the offerings has been the beat of the season, and as a result the prices paid have been the highest. As compared with the close of last week the market may safely be quoted fully steady on desirable grades of ewes, wethers and yearlings, and the demand has been fully equal to the supply. The, lamb market, however, has suffered at all points, as receipts have been very liberal The decline here has been fully iMUtuu, and la sum cases as much as 60c. MAIICI1 8, J903. All kinds have suffered, the better grades as well as the common kinds, but the greatest decline has been on the part fst kinds. Half-fat sheep are also a little weak, but still the prices paid have not shown much change. Feeder have been In very light supply all the week, and the demand has been sufficient to hold the market steady.

NEW YORK, March 7 COTTON-The market opened steady, with prices 3 points lower to S points higher. Following the first call the bull pool bid quite freely, causing the room shorts to cover until it became apparent that southern orders were going to the selling side of the account, with a large Philadelphia spot house also in evidence as a seller. There was but little bear pressure from Wall street. A feature of the early trading was the sale of a large block of May by a German house. Trading in general was only mod erately active, with the weather still bad In the south, which led to caution in mak ing ventures on the short side of the ac count. On the other hand receipts were heavier than expected, with Houston show ing up particularly full. Cables were a trifle better than expected. Futures closed very steady. The spot market closed dull, with prices S points lower on the basis of 9.95c for middling uplands and 10.2oc for middling gulf. NEW ORLEANS. March 7.
