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.

EW YORK STUC K S BOXDS.
Market Becomes Mhtly More Active,
W ith Prices Inclined I pvrards.
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.

Prices are about steady on these, but large

That prices wete maintained at the Ixin

encourages the local and holders of fine
wools. 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 east Boston ware
house Is expected to be released from quar
antine next week. The shipments of wool

CATTLE There was only a fair run of
cattle here today, but the market did not
seem to have the snap that characterized
the trade yesterday. 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.

HOGS There was a liberal supply of hogs
this morning at all points and as a result
prices took a tumble. 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.

ing, but a little bunch of spring lambs sold
for $7.00. Practically everything that ar
rived sold as soon as offered, so that the
market was brisk from start to finish.
There was no noticeable change in the
feeder situation, as there were not enough
on sale to make a test of the market.
