OATS ALONE ARE BUOYANT ON FAIR SALES tirif'doi Supplies at Lower Prices Defers Provision Temporarily, bat Good Demand Bring Rally aad Fairly tltadf Close. CHICAGO. March 13-There was a repe tition of yesterday's dullness In the grain piia today and with the exception of uaii prices ruled easier, May wheat closing i4'( Sc lower and corn a shade lower, but oa's were .c higher. Provisions rinsed steady, with tne May products from lower to 2c higher. Tran.ng In wheat was dull and the mar ket lacked any features of Interest. May opened a shade lower to a shade higher at 74T4r75r, the lower cables having a de pressing effect. Soon after the start little belter demand developed on the small Argentine shipments and some talk of colder weather In the northwest, which re sulted In a firmer feeling. May selling tip to 7B'75Hc. Late In the day general realising set In and May sold off to 7t'c and the close was at 74Nc, a loss of VtfiV. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to a&l.oiio bu. Primary receipts were 4U,0"0 bu., against 3M,00o a year ago. Exports of wheat and flour for the week, as reported by Bradstreefs, were equal to 3,366.( bu., against 2,9n6.'K last year. Minneapolis and Duiuth reported receipts of 24 cars, which, with local receipts of nine cars, none of contract grade, made totul re.eipts for the three points of 293 cars, against 291 last week and 296 n year ago. Corn was Influenced more or less by the action of wheat but the strength In oats overbalanced this factor and the market held about steady. The weather was much more favorable for the movement and grad ing, but the receipts were still light, 210 cars being received, none of which were or contract grade. '1 he close was about un changed from last night's figures. May being a shade lower at 47c, after selling Between i"c and 4iC. There was a fair trade In oats, with the Interest of many traders from the other pits centered In this market. The senti ment was decidedly bullish, due largely to a private report discrediting the large esti mate on fat.n reserves as shown by the recent government report. Shorts were active buvers and there was alao consider able stuff taken for long account. The close was strong and c higher for May at 36V,c. after ranging between 34Ho and JoHc. Local receipts were moderate at 222 cars. . , . Provisions were easier early on liberal receipts of hogs and lower prices at the yarns, and on quite general liquidation the market declined still further but a fair de mand for lard from foreign houses brought about a rally and prices held about steady the remainder of the day. May pork closed 2Hc lower at $18.1., May lard XViC higher at $in.l7S and ribs off 2Vic at $9.9o. Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 20 cars; corn, 260 cars; oats, 170 cars; hogs, Kono head.

NEW YORK, March 13.-S?nUment lit Wall street took on a more cheerful tone egaln todn:- and an upward tendency of prices was In force. The movement did not display much vitality and was mostly cen tered In a few stocks, especially the AVabashes. It had for Its principal basis th ) fact that professional traders found that they could bid up prices above th? existing level without being overwhelmed wlih the offerings brought out In com equenee This evidence of the cessation of the pressure to liquidate, which has been a burden on the market for several days, led to the Indul gence of a hope that the bank statement tomorrow would be more favorable than has been expected In view of the continued heavy drain this week upon caah resources. The quietness of the money market fos tered this hope. It Is unusual for the spe cial demand for loans Incident to the carry ing over of stocks from Friday until Mon day to cause a flurry In the call loan mar ket on Friday. It was feared that ths preparation for the payment of the $20,000, 000 of Standard Oil dividends on Monday would aggravate this ttndcncy. On the contrary, the money market waa notably calm until 7 was paid In the last Ave minutes. Traders were dleposed to reason that the position of the banks must be bet ter than supposed. It was considered pos sible also that the proceeds from the Stan dard Oil dividend might be coming Into the market by anticipation. Rumors were re newed of intended measures of money market relief by the Treasury department, and It was alleged that the presence In Washington of J. P. Morgan Wat, for the purpose of urging such measures. The pro posed measure took form In the rumors of the redemption prior to maturity of the outstanding 6 per cent bonds of the govern ment. This Issue, of which there is $19, 886,060 still outstanding, matures on Feb ruary 1, 1904. The rumor met with den'als In Washington. Much discussion was given B.I80 to a report that both houses of con- firess would be called In extra cession early n the fall to ratify the Cuban reciprocity treaty and also to act on the Aldrlch finan cial bill or some similar measure. The up ward bound in Sugar was In respons? to this rumor. The effect of these rumors, which were all without verification, was evidence of the primary Importance still at tached to the money situation In the spec ulative outlook. A sharp reaction In the London market after the recent violent ad vance was the occasion of some profit-taking In Amalgamated Copper. This was supported and did not cause more than 1 decline In the stock at any time. The bringing of suit by the Southern Pacific pool interests to enjoin tte Union Pacific from voting Its holdings of Southern Pa cific and the granting of the injunction had tittle effect on the prices of those stocks, iut rather quieted the speculation In them. The reaction In the last hour seemed due to profit-taking on the day's advance by room traders, although the rise In the call money rate to 6 per cent after noon waa an added Influence. The bidding up of the rati to 7 per cent by belated borrowers Juet before the close was not given much sig nificance. The loss In cash tt the subtreas ury for the week of M.oti.OOO wu offset by the receipt of only a few hundred thousand dollars of balance from the Interior. If to morrow's bank statement accurately re flects these movements In the cash Item there must be a loan contraction of up ward of $12,000,000 to have prevented Inroad i upon the legal reserve required of the banks. The bond market was dull and Irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,305,000. United States were Lll unchanged on the last call.

NEW YORK, March IS COTTON Opened steady, 1 point higher to 1 lower and Immediately following the call ruled Irregular, prices fluctuating within a nar row limit, showing corslderable ateadlness, particularly on the ne"r crop propositions, under less favorable weather forecasts, which were regarded as offsetting the rather d sappolntlng ruling of the Liverpool market. I nder some covering by shorts, which wqs encouraaed bv the small esti mate for tomorrow's receipts at Houston, hfld for a time around last night's close, but the market soon gave way under liqui dations and Pacifies were forced ranld v uonward, though trading was by no means as active as the recent average. May led the decline under sties said to be for the account of certain spot Interests, while th old crop months continued relatively flfm. The estimates for Galveston and New Or leans tomorrow were liberal, and there vat out little support In the market. Shortly aftrr mid-day the bulls attempted to rally Pacifies on the week-end figures, but these hnd been expected and but little outside support was forthcoming, so that after momertary Improvement of a few points the market resumed Its downward course and at the close was barely steady, net 217 points lower, that being the lowest level of the season. Total sales of futures esti mated at 3n,000 bales. Port receipts footed up 18,700 bales, agslnst 18,600 last year, and the exports reached 26.321 bales. ST. LOriS."

On the other hand, medium grades are easy, cross-breda 6 per cent lower at London. Three thousand sheep carcasses will be shipped from St. Paul via Seattle to Australia, owing to heavy losses of sheep there by drouth and consequent shortage In mutton.

The fact that the end of the week Is close at hand probably had a good deal to do with the rather In different attitude of the fat cattle buyers. The steer market was a little slow and rather uneven. Some sales were made that were about steady, but others were weak to a dime lower. The good heavy cattle suffered the most, and In fact buyers did not seem to be at all anxious for the better grades, and as a result sellers had a rather hard time to dispose of that class. Owing to the moderate offerings, however, a fairly early clearance was made. The cow market did not show much change from yesterday. Trading was not exactly brisk, but still the cattle Kept going to the scales and by the middle of the forenoon practically all the early arrivals were disposed of. Some salesmen thought they had a hard time to get fully as good prices as were paid yesterday, but still there was not enough change In the prices paid to be worthy of mention. Bulls, veal calves and stags all sold In yesterday's notches. The stocker and feeder market he'.d steady with yesterday on all desirable grades in spite of the fact that the end of the week Is so close at hand. Tho speculators all seemed to be anxious for cattle owing to the fact that they carried over very few from the day before, and as a result sell ers had little trouble In getting very satis factory prices for what they had to offer.

The decline at this point amounted to about 6ijl0e. Trading was not very active at any time, as it seemed to be hard for buyers and sellers to agree on prices. The light weight hogs sold largely from $7.20 down. Medium weights went from $7.20 to $7.25, gond heavy hog from 87.25 to $7.30 and prime heavies sold mostly from $7.30 to $7.35. A good many trains were late In arriving and be sides that neveral car that came in late esterday were carried ovor until today. Owing to the large s-.ipply on sale and to the late arrival of trains the day was well advanced before a clearance was made.
