.HICAOO. March 24 Quite general liqui
dation In the grain pits causej weiknea,. In
all the markets and May wheat cl eed Sc
lower. May corn wu down SfrXe and ojH
were ISc lower. Provisions were wjhIi
nd May products being off from bti"io to
224jC
There- was liberal liquidation of May
wheat and that option ruled weak, whlie
the. July delivery was quite firm. Opening
prices were firm on steady cables and on
covering by ahorta, who wore somewhat
alarmed on account of the colder weathfr,
May being to'ijSic to Kc higher at TMct
73c. After the first half hour the nev.s
became bearish, advices irom abroad being
discouraging, and there wss a general dis
position to aell May, with some changing
from May to July, which resulted In a
gradual oecllne In the nearby month. Th?
email decrease la th? world's vlelble and
the weskness In the outride markets added
to the depression, and with no show ot sup
port May sold off to 71 -de. coveilng y
shorts caused a slight rally late In th? day,
but May closed c lower at 7i7JVc
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal
lo 18j,0) bushels. Primary receipts werj
M.OOu bushels, against 441.1)00 a year ago.
Minneapolis . and Duluth reported receipts
of 14S cars, which with local receipts o, 37
esra. made total receipts 1KI cars, against
170 last week and 374 last year.
Corn was quite active throughout the
day, but after a little flrmnee at the start
the market developed weakness and lower
prices ruled. The opening was (lrm on
higher cables and In sympathy with the
strength In wheat, but longs in the May
option were disposed to liquidate and with
only moderate demand that de'.lvery be
came weak. July, however, held relatively
firm, being at a premium over May at one
time. There was considerable changing
from May to July, which was largely re
sponsible for the better tone of the more
distant option. May closed Srac lower
ml 4274'643c, after ranging between 42.c anl
43'c. Local receipts wrre 243 cars.
There was heavv liquidation ot May oat?
by tlre'd holders, while there was also con
siderable changing to the July delivery.
a result of this selling movr mnt lh
nearby month was exceedingly weak, but
July held fairly steady. The offerings
were taken mainly ' by shorts and tnere
was little effort made to support the mar
ket. Mav closed IV lower at 31Sl'e,
after selling between 31c and S3'4c I,ocal
receipts were 329 cars.
In spite of a strong holding market hog
market provisions opened barely steady
and the early weakness was augmented
later by selling by trokers and In sym
pathy wfth the decline In grains. Trading
waa fairly large, but mostly local. The
close waa weak, with May pork down 224e
at $17.80. May lard off 12Hc at $10 and ribs
t43'7Vic lower at $9.80tff9.82H.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
15 cars; corn, 70 cars; oats, 185 cars; hogs,
22.000 head.

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS.
Market Remains Weak All Day, Only
Varying: In Degree.
NEW YORK. March 24. The stock mar
ket made no headway today against the
discouragement of holders of securities, and
was weak from start to finish, with only
a difference In the degree of weakness from
time to time, mere was a snarp Dreax in
prices at the opening due to the unloading
of stocks in blocks as a result of selling
orders accumulated over night. Aftr that
there waa some pause in the downward
movement, but at the close the selling
movement had become very active again
and prices ended the day at the lowest and
on a rapidly descending scale. The prin
cipal cause of the feeling of discourage
ment was tne ibck of promise or an amel
ioration of money conditions. Apparently
the Interior Is making renewed demsnd
upon New York for funds now that the
attractive high money rates are now fully
maintained here. New York exchange at
Chicago has slipped back to par. Bankers
In New York express the opinion that the
west has Its own uses for money and Is
likely to continue to have. Very active
business, enormous holdings of grain due
to the delayed movement, an active spec
ulation In the corn market and the west
ern land speculations are all cited as ele
ments of this demand. The hope of spring
reflux of funds to New York Is not so con
fidently held as It was last week and the
light speculation based on this hope Is be
ing closed out. The subtreasury la renew
ing Its drain on the money market and hns
taken from the banks since Friday $tiS.0OO,
compared with $12,000 in the corresponding
period of last week. The April 1 settle
ments In New England are looked to to
cause some demand upon New York. By
shifting the view to foreign centers no bet
ter prospect Is met, the Impending demand
upon foreign money markets for govern
ment loans promising to absorb all their
resources. The new low record made to
day for British consols was affected also
by selling of these securities for American
account. At the time of the last Issue of
consols it was urged In their behalf by the
American subscribers that their holdings
here would constitute a ready means of
control, of the exchange market. This
would explain the drop In sterling exchange
this week, compared with the strength last
week. A break In the copper market helped
to weaken Amalgamated. A temporary ad
vance of a point I11 Southern. Pacific was
attributed to a demand for election pur
poses. Bonds were Irregular. Total salea, par
value, $1,540,000.
United States bonds were all unchanged
on the last call.

CATTLE There was a very heavy run of
cattle here today, and In fact receipts were
the heaviest for some time past. The local
demand, though, was sufficient to prevent
much or a break In prices.
The big end of the receipts this morning
was made up of cornfed steers and the
quality was about the same as It has been
for the last week or more. Packers were
a little slow about taking hold owing to
the big run In sight, but at the same time
It wss evident that they wanted the cattle,
so sellers were holding for steady prices.
The market could probably best be de
scribed by calling It steady to a little lower.
The good handy weight cattle aold at prac
tically ateady prices, but the heavy cattle
and those that did not Just suit the buyers
were a little slow, and II anything a trifle
lower than yesterday.
There were not very many cows In the
yards this morning, and as a result the
market ruled active and steady to strong.
Buyers were all out early and the cows
and heifers changed hands about as fast
as offered. Each week It becomes more
evident that the big run of cows Is over
with, so that packers seem to be anxious
for all that class of cattle that they can
get.
Bulls, veal calves and stags all aold in
Just about yesterday's notchea.
There were a good many stockers and
feeders 4n the yards, but the snore desirable
grades sold readily at steady prices.
Warmed-up cattle of good quality were
bought freely for feeders, but unless they
were extra good they sold to packers. Com
mon stockers and teeders were slow sale,
and If anything a little lower than yester
day. Representative sales:
BEEP STEERS.

HOGS There wss the heaviest run ef
hogs here this morning that has arrived
since February 24. Packers took advan
tage of the big receipts lo break the mar
ket, and they started In from the first bid
ding generally a dime lower. In a few
places rales were made that did not lo..k
over 60 lower, but that kind of sales were
so scarce that It Is safe to call the general
market right around a dime lower than
yesterday. The bulk of the hogs sold from
87.30 to 87.40 Prime heavy hogs sold mostly
from 17.40 to $7.45, medium weights from
37.30 to $7.40, and the light weights from
$7.30 down. Trading was not very active at
any time, and as a good many trains were
late in arriving the day was well ad
vanced before anything like a clearance
was made. The close of the market was
rather slow and

oncer- mere waa quite a liberal run
of sheep and lambs on the market this
morning, but the demand continued very
active, so that a brisk and strong market
was experienced. The same as was the
case yesterday, everything at all desirable
cnangea nands as rapidly as. unloaded and
the prices paid ranged strona- to a dime
higher than yesterday. The quality of the
duik or me onenngs was naraiy up to yea
irruay 0 sianuara. so mac tne market nn
paper aoes not iook as nigh as it really was.
Ewes of fair quality, though, sold as high
as to.ou, alio, some wetners Drought $6.00.
A good many trains were late In arriving,
nut trading continued brisk from start to
nntsn,
There wss no change In the feeder situa
tion. Very few were offered and the de
mand waa eufllcient to hold prices fully
