COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Htarj Oorn tales Again Roduoe May Prices on Board of Trad OTHER GRAINS BREAK AWAY AND SOAR Veakatii la Corn mni Low Yard Friers 9en prorUlons Tnmhlln, Which, la Spite of Partial Rallr, Close Weak. CHICAGO, March 17 The com pit was the scene of anothe. heavy selling move ment today and a lurther aecllne or over a cent wan made In the May delivery, but a rally occurred the latter part ot the day and final figures were oft S'aV- May wheat closed Slr'-fcc higher ami oats were up ''91c. Provisions closed weak, with the May products from 15c to 3T'4c lower. There was only a moderate trade in wheat, but In spite of the break In corn the market held up remarkably well May opened a shade to Wac higher at 737j 4c, the early firmness being due to the rela tively strornr cables, the Liverpool market falling to respond to the weakness here yesterday. The sharp break In corn, how ever, resulted In a bieaa to 7d7c, out with little for sale on the decline, and with shorts covering freely and some p.-attereti buying- for Ion account the market quickly raided and a llrm tone prevailed through OJt the remainder of the session. Brad streets report showing a decrease In the visible supply of 2.8"0,JO bushels, together with a better export demand, added to the strength, and May sold up to 74V8 i4c. The close was V'l'Sc higher at Mc Clearances o wheat and flour were equal to i7,Ono bushels. Primary receipts were 453.100 bushels, against 266.000 a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 246 cars, which, with local receipts of 27 cars, made total receipts lor the three points 270 cars, against bSW last week and 435 a year ago. There was a sensational opening' In corn and the range In May was tully lc at the start. The heavy liquidation started yes terday was continued when trading began today and a large volume ot long sunt was thrown on the market the first half hour, which resulted In May selling off to 43'4o after opening unchanged to lc lower at 44Vi'4i,e. A fairly good demand devel oped under 44c, bat the persistent heavy selling prevented any recovery until late In the day, when a rally occurred and an advance to 44nc was made. The close was Stic lower at 44:V44'c. Local receipts were 382 cars, with one of contract grade. The feature in trading in oats was the active demand for the July option, which served to rheck the spiling movement In May started early on the weakness in oorn, and with offerings rather light a better tone developed. A good cash demand and moderate receipts 227 cars aided in the upturn. The close was llrm and Vd'S'.c higher at 34V4C for May, after selling between 33c and 341(vMHc. There was a severe decline in provisions and st one time it was extremely difficult for brokers to execute selling orders. The weakness in corn, together with a decline in prices at the yards, started the selling and it was not long until everyone seemeu anxious to secure profits or to stop losses, and the price on all products took a sud den drop. At the lower level there was some covering by shorts, which caused a slight rally, but the close was weak. May pork closed, 35c lower at 117.52V,, after sein ing between I17.42V4 and 17.82V; May lard was down 16c at 19.8'), after ranging be tween I9.67V4 and $95; ribs were down 37V4c at $!).50, after selling between $.47Vi and so.

Southern raelfle Absorbs All Interest of Lethargic Brokers. NEW YORK. March 17. Today's stock market was entirely In the hands of the professional operators and these for the most part of the small class. The wh:le market was dominated by Southern Pacitic. The manifest support for that stock and the cessation of yesterday's pressure against I'nlon l'aclfic caused a check to the early selling here, and a gradual recov ery ensued. Late In the day southern t'aclfic, union Pacific, St. Paul and one or two other spec ulative stocks were a point above last night. The realizing at the last took the top oft prices and the closing was easy. During the unsettled period of the morning tnere was continued pressure to sen New Vork Central, carrvlnff that stock down almost a point.

It ha-4 been feared that the dissolution of the pool would lead to tne tnrowlng over or some other. On the other hand It will Involve further tying up of large credits. The ex tension also has the tendency to Increase the weight from a stock market standpoint of the litigation Instituted on behalf of th? pool against the Union Faclflu control of Southern Pacific. Some favorable effect was produced by the conference undertaken between the officials and employes ot tne rew Haven system ior an anjustment or the labor dinnute. Money was somewhat easier, with 6 per cent the maximum rate fir call loans, and a necineci soitening or the market after the principal demand hal been met. lh subtreasury established a guln of something over $inn,fta-i from thn banks on the operations since Friday, thu wiping out its contribution of yeuerday to the local money supply, but the rate of ab sorption by the government Is much less tnan it was iasi wees, on me oiner nana there was a very substantial rise in the foreign exchange rate.

Packers took hold in good shape and there wre no very radical changes In the prices paid. A good many trains were late in arriving, which delaved the market to some extent, but the bulk of the receipts was disposed of In good season. ' About the usual proportion of the offer ings consisted of beef steers and the quality was fairly good. The market was not par ticularly brink, but at the same time pack ers seemed to want the cattle and paid just about steady prices for anything at all decent. Handy weight cattle continued In the best demand and sellers found It an easy matter to dispose of that class at The cow 'market was quite active and' fully steady. In some cases salesmen thought they got a little stronger prices ior good stuff that Just sultcM the buyers. There was not n very large supply of cows on sale, so that a good clearance was made. Bulls were In fairly good demand today and there was no quotable change In the prices paid. Veal calves were ready sellers at steady prices. ,... Stockers and feeders were again In light supplv and good demand, so that values held firm. Speculators all seemed to want a few cattle and pougni a goou many oi tun warmed up cornfeds at higher prices than the packers would give. The cattle, how ever, had to be of good quality in order lo jell for feeders, as the demand from the country at present Is confined largely to the good cattle. The common stuff is more or les neglected and has not shown the Improvement In price that the good kinds have. Representative salesi BEEF STEERo. At.

The gen eral market here was ptolic lower. At the start some sales were made that were no more than a dune lower, but the market kept getting worse, ami on the close was a flat 15c lower tiian yesterday. Trading was very slow from start to finish, as sales men could not make up their minds to take olT as much as the buyers asked, but st the same time packers would not raise their bids, so salesmen finally had to cut loose, flood weight hegs sold mostly from S7.1U to $7.15. nnd some prime heavies sold eMrly from S7.15 to 37.25. The medium weights sold largely from S7.06 to $7.10, and the lighter weights trom 37.00 down. Repre sentative sales: calves, $3.0cfl-4 40: stockers ond fe-lers, Sl.$, ft 4 75. ll'OOS-Receipts.

Buyers were all out early and the market ruled active and strong from start to finish. The quality of the offerings was good, so that the market on paper makes a good showing. Colorado lambs sold as high as $7,110 and some fair Colorado ewes brought. $5,111 and $5.30. Some western ewes sold for $5.35 and yearlings brought 36.25.
