CHICAGO, March 23. There waa little of
Interest In the grain pit today and an
easier feeling prevailed, My wht clon
ing unchanged, May com oft r., and rail
down ViO'o. May provisions cloned from
7V4o lower to loc higher.
Trading In wheat wan moderate and the
undertone wan rather easlei. May opened
a ahade lower to a shad higher, at i2
to 7ZTc, the steady tone being due to bel
ter showing of the cables. Uverpnol being
only slightly lower, notwithstanding the
.evere decline here Saturday. There waa
an early advance to TAc on covering by
shorts, but the large world's shipments
and an Increase In the amount on passage
together with report, from Argentina,
eMlmatlng a large exportable surplus,
brought oJt considerable selling and the
market became easier, May selling off to
72Wo. The latter part of the session a
steady feeling prevailed, which was
helped by the decrease In the visible sup
ply of 1.011,000 bushels, and May closed
unchanged, at 72Vtf72T,c. Clearances of
wheat and flour were equal to 277,(K bush
els. Primary receipts were 601.0W) bush
els, against 685,mi bushels a year ago.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts
of 390 cars, which with local receipts of
19 cars, none of contract grade, made the
total receipts for the three points of
cars, against KS cars last week, and 461
cars a year ago.
There were no special features In the
trading In corn, and the sentiment was
lightly In favor of the bears. The opening
was firm on efTorts of local longs to bull
the market, but with no encouragement
from outside traders, who were sellers
rather than buyers, the suppot c from this
source soon lagging and prices eased oft.
The close was Vic lower for May, at 43Hc,
after selling between 4.Tie and 44Vic Local
receipts were still small at 122 cars, none
of which were of contract grade.
Oata were active at a lower level of
prices. Selling on stop orders and by local
longs caused a sharp break in May, but
covering by shorts checked the decline
and part of the loss was regained. May
closed VfcO'Hc lower, at 3&Wu'iV,ic., after
selling between 32c and 33Ve'337c. Local
receipts were 247 cars.
Provisions opened strong on a small run
of hogs and an advance of from 10c to loo
in prices at the yards, and there waa a
good demand early from outsiders. Local
traders, however, were disposed to sell and
the market became easier. Later there
waa a fair demand for lard and ribs from
exporters, which helped the price of those
products, and May lard closed 10c higher,
at tlO.lZHc, with ribs 6c higher, at pi-TiMc.
May pork was off Tftc at $18. 02 Vic.
Estimated receipts tor tomorrow: Wheat,
80 cars; corn, 236 cars; oats, 270 cars; hogs,
10 iioo head.

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS.
Maay Caaaea Combined Keep Market
Weak and Doll.
NEW YORK. March 2S.-A number of
causes 'contributed to the general weak
ness and dullness shown by tne stock mar
ket today. Chief among these was tfie be
lief that hlah Interest rates would disfavor
any move in the direction of higher prices.
This attitude appears to be based on tne
belief that monetary conditions aa a whole
are not such as to warrant even a mod
erate extension of speculative commit
ments. London's prices also were lower,
the all-around weakness In that market
being led by consols, which touched the
lowest point In thirty years. However,
there was one note of encouragement from
abroad.' The annual report of the Dres
dener bank said that fears of a collapse of
the Industrial development of this country
were rapidly diminishing. Advices from
the granger states reported normal March
conditions, with a restriction of the pri
mary grain movement, owing to bad coun
try roads. The trunk lines are still Unable
to meet the demands of shippers, nd th
situation in this regard Is little change.l
from ttrnt of a week ago. Relief Is hardly
looked for until the resumption of it':e
navigation.
Opening prices in the stock market were
lower for the most part, and reflected an
Irregular undertone, but tnere was little
pressure to sell save in the case of Union
Pacific. Recessions marked the early
course of Rock Island, Canadian Pacific,
Amalgamated Copper, Sugar and several
specialties, while Tennessee Coal, Metro
politan and Brooklyn Rapid Transit were
Arm. Before the end of the first hour the
market became more listless and price
drifted within a narrow range. The tone
became narrow and Drofesslonal and trad
ers used the lo-ver London quotations as an
excuse to sell. There was steadiness in tns
steel stocks and a few other Industrials In
the middle of the day. but the weakness of
Sugar seemed to come from unsettled trade
conditions. rne uecune in Amaigamaiea
CoDner followed a cessation of the recent
available manipulation. Southern Pacific
waa erratic throughout selling at an ad
vance of 214 points In the early dealings,
but declining later to the lower level. Aside
from the naming of a date April 3 for tha
closing of the books for the annual meet
ing, and additional allegations 01 oaa iaim
by the minority stockholders, no new
phase was Injected Into the controversy,
which Is still viewed with some degree of
apprehension. Following a slight harden
ing of prices In the early period of the
afternoon, when efforts were made to ad
vance St. Paul, another liquidating move
ment set in ana a numoet- or issues regis
tered sham declines, some stocks closing
at the lowest prices of the day. The drive
geemed to be directed chiefly against the
Paclflcs, some of tne grangers ana Head
ings and had the effect of unsettling the
general list. London sold upward of 10,000
thures and bought little.
Sterling exchange was 10 points lower,
but the demand was light. Further ease
waa shown in the rate for time loans and
the day's business In call money, which
was freely offered, was enly moderate.
Considerable thought Is being given to the
April money movement. A retrospect of
last year's movements shows gains from
the interior for the first two weeks of that
month. ...
The bond market waa dull and Irregular.
Total sales aggregated $2,040,000.
The government bonds were, unchanged
on the last call.

CATTLE Recelpta of cattle were fairly
liberal this morning, and aa packers toon
hold In fairly good shape there waa no great
cnange in tne prices paid trom those In
force at the close of last week. Cowa,
though, seemed to sell to better advantage
than the ateera. A reasonably early clear
ance waa made, and as a rule salesmen
were well satisfied with the prices they
received.
The market on beef ateera waa a little
alow and rather apotted. Some salesmen
were calling- their aalea ateady. -and others
thought they had to take a ahade lower
prices. There waa no one class of cattle
that Buffered more than other, said the
market could probably best be described
by calling It ateady to a little lower. Buy
era did Dot seem to be as anxious for sup
plies aa they were on most days laat week,
so they tried to pound the market a little.
The quality of the offerings, as a whole
today, was nothing extra, and there were
no choice cattle at all on sale.
Cow buyers seemed to have liberal orders
this morning, and they were out.early, and
(he market ruled active and steady to
strong on all gradea. Oood light cows and
heifera. in particular, were In good demand,
and a goodamany aales looked higher. The
proportion of cow stuff on sale to the total
receipts waa not large, so that a good
clearance waa made.
Bulls, veal calves and stags all aold In
just about last week's notches.
There were quite a few stockers and
feedera In the yards, and while the more
desirable grades held about ateady there
waa an evident tendency on the part of
buvera to get the cattle for a little less
money. Aaythlng at all decent, though.
did not sen mucn oi any lower, repre
sentative sales:

HOOS There
was
a light run of hogs
here today for even a Monday, and aa local
packers were anxious for supplies and ad
vices from other points were favorable to
the selling interests the market opened
right around a dime higher. Packers,
though, were alow about bidding the ad
vance, no that trading was not very active.
In some cases salesmen thought they were
unable to get quite- 10c higher than Satur
day, but the general market was right
around a dime higher. Good heavy hogs
sold mostly from $7.46 to $7.60, and as hinh
as $7.65 was paid, while the medium weights
went from $7.40 to $7.45, and the light stuff
from $7.40 down. Representative sales:

SHEEP There was a light run of sheep
and lamba here this morning and under
the Influence of a good local demand the
market ruled active and strong on ail de
sirable grades. As compared with the close
of last week It la safe to quote all de
sirable grades of both sheep and lamba
fully a dime higher and aome aales were aa
much aa 15c higher. Everything changed
hands aa rapidly ns offered, so that an
early clearance was made. Western lambs
