CHICAGO. March 2S.-Trsdlng In the
grain pita was on a amall scale today and
after an easier opening all grains closed
higher. May wheat being e higher. May
corn up Vc and oats Hfi c bettor,
provisions closed strong, with tha May
prod art a from IHc to 16c higher.
There, wae a reaction In aentlment In
tha wheat pit and during the latter part of
tha session tha market exhibited consid
erable atrength, although the trading wna
only moderate. The opening waa weak.
with an apparent pressure 10 sen on "i
jart of outside noiners, innuencea oy inn
ower cables and the favorable weather.
Mi hein shade to Vifa-c lower at 71
72c Covering by ahorta on the amall local
receipt caused a rally early In the day,
after which the market held fairly ateady
until late, when buying of May by com
mission housea lent additional atrength and
May aold up to 724e. The close waa He
higher at 72ir72TAc. Clearances of wheat
and flour were small at 412.000 bushels.
Primary receipts were 146,000 bushels,

cars, which, wrth local receipts of 17 cars
none of contract grade made total receipts
for the three polnta or 206 cars, againnt am
cars laat week and 187 cars a year ago.
There was no feature to the trading In
eorn and the volume of business waa rather
light. Lower cables and favorable weather
caused weakness at the start and the early
trading waa dull and an easier tone waa
manifested until late In the day, when
tha strength In wheat and covering by
ahorta caused an advance. The close waa
strong and AW4c higher for May at 434c.
after selling between 46-o and 43V4C Local
receipta were amall at ba cars, one ot con'
tract grade.
Continued llauldatlon of May oats by out
aide holders waa the feature of the early
trading and the market waa decidedly
weak. The strength In wheat caused the
early sellers to turn buyers, and with some
covering by shorts the sentiment became
quite strong and the close waa at tha top.
May being HtTV- higher at 32V4o, after
' ranging between 31Vifr31So and 32Vc. Local
receipts were lf cars.
Provisions were dull, with trading con
fined largely to local Interests. Openlni
prices were lower on increased receipts o
hogs and a decline. In Drlces at the varda.
but the market received good support from
packers and prices Boon rallied. The late
atrength in gralna added to the advance
and closing prlcea were strong, with May
pork 15c higher at $17.46, May lord waa 10c
higher at jlO.10 and rlba were up 2Vc at

NEW YORK STOCKS A.D BOlfDS.
Market Stands Insteadlly Acalnst Ht-
aetlon, bat Breaks Sharply.
NEW YORK, March 26,-The stock mar
ket made an unsteady stand against reac
tion for a time today, but before the clos
ing discouragement had apparently over
come the speculative mind again and prlcej
broke sharply to the lowest of the oay.
There were Indications of well organised
bear leadership on the decline. The early
resistance to reaction was sustained, prin
cipally by Pennsylvania and New York
Central. No other cause was apparent for
this but the publication of revived asser
tions that the control of New York Central
was virtually lodged in hands friendly to
the Pennsylvania. This assertion was met
with official denials of varying emphasis,
but nevertheless the price ot these two
stocks rose about a point over last night.
This was after the pressure o the London
selling was over for the day. The persis
tent weakness of the London market Is
having a strong sympathetic effect here
and the late upward reaction in consols
was considered a reassuring factor. But
this was not until the price had broken
through 9) earlier in the day. As many
British financial transactions are based
upon a theoretical possible minimum of 9)
as the price for consoU, the fall below
that level today was regarded as deeply
significant. In our own money market the
feature ot the day'was a shipment of 8500,
000 in gold to Buenos Ayres. Usual ex
planations were forthcoming as to the
special character of this transaction, but
the fact was not altered that New York
bankers are reduced by that much. W'lt.i
the renewed demand from the Interior for
currency and the continued drain to the
subtreasury. this la the dominant factor
la the aituatlon that confronts the financial
world, wh.ch is finding continually new re
quirements for credits at every turn., A
subtreasury credit balance at the clearing
house this morning for 3377,477 foreshad
owed another heavy withdrawal by iht
Institution to be figured In tomorrow's
statement of operations. The decision of
the Pennsylvania directors to issue addi
tional 83,000,000 of new stock at once at
860 per share was the occasion of the late
drive against the market. The provision
for payment in three installments running
from June IS over to October 26 did not
seem to al'evlate the uneaa.ness caused by
the prospect of this heavy requirement on
the money market. The rather severe
liquidation In Amalgamated Conner was
another unsettling Influence. This stock
was carried down an extreme 34 In tbe
late dealings on the selling Induced by thj
violent break in the London copper mar
ket. An incident of the day was tha relllni
on the curb market of United States Steel
6s at 86, which was on a parity with ths
low price of the day for the preferred
stock on the exchange. The demand)
formulated by the employes of the Manhat
tan Elevated railway kept alive the dis
turbance of sentiment over the labor out
look. The bond market was Irregular. Total

CATTLE There was another very heavy
run of cattle here today, wntch makes the
receipts for the three days this week con
siderably In excess of the same days of
last week; and also of the same days of
last year, either markets also had liberal
receipts, so the tendency of prices was de
cidedly downward. '
The beef steer market opened very slow,
as packers were very bearish, while sales
men were trying to prevent a break in
prices. As a result It waa late before much
trading was done. The general market,
though, was fully 10916c lower and In some
spots it looked even worse than that. All
kind suffered, but the good handy weights
egaln sold to the best advantage. It was
a very slow market from start to finish,
and, as many of the trains were late in
arriving, the day was well advanced before
anyth.ng like a clearance was made.
The cow market was also slow and lower.
The break in prices, however, waa hardly
as serious as on beef steers and a dime
would cover the decline In most cases.
Some of the prime light weight cows and
heifers scld at prlcea that did not look
quite a'dlma lower, but aside from a lim
ited number of sales of that character tht
market was loc lower than yesterday. Ths
number of cowa and heifers on sale as
compared with the total receipts was again
rather small.
Bulls were a little lower today, In sym
pathy with the break on cows and steers,
but veal calves did not show much change.
There was quite a sprinkling of stock, rj
and feeders lu the yards and unksj the
cattle showed considerable quality they
were a little slow and lower. Strictly
choice stockers and feeders that had not
Kn fell eorn sold readilv at steady nrlrea
The kind of warmed up cattle that have I
been selling for teeaers were weak to a
dime lower. If the cattle were lacking In
quality they were slow and fully 10c 'lower,
no matter whether they had been fed corn
or not. There waa quite a demand from
the country yesterday, but aali the buyers
seemed co be looking for cattle ot good
quality. , Representative sales. - -f

THE ALASKA CKNTRAI. RAILWAT COMPANY,
By U. W, Dickinson., i'lo.iuent.
TO THE PUBLIC:
In offering Its bonds to subscribers direct, the Alaska Central Rnllway Company has adopted
ths course recommended by the azperlenoa of the bast managed railroad companies. The Al.m
ka Central has mad Its own survey snd Is doing Its own construction. By thla method the
targe profits that usually go to construction companies snd financial underwriters sre eliminat
ed, to tbe corresponding advantage of everv bondholder and stockholder, for the bond lsue will
thus be kept down to ths limit of the artualfoat of construction snd equipment. Not ojily will
all construction be dona by tho Railroad Company, but all the town rites belong to It ana will ba
disposed ot for tha mutual benefit of all Internets. In addition to gold snd copper In abundance,
the country tributary to the Alaska Central Railway contains practically Inexhaustible fields
of coal, much of which Is semi-snthraclts. snd will command the tinde of ths Psclflc; has
msny millions of seres of merchantable timber which can ba cheaply thinned to the markets of
tha world, and offers a rich soil for the cultivation of all kinds of sgrlculttiral products In a cli
mate mors agrssabh. than that In ths correasond Ing latltudea of Rurppe. where lit non.ono of tho
mos civilised and prosperous people of tha world reside. The A larks C entral's southern terminus
la st Pewsrd. on a harbor open the rear round, where ths thermumeler has never been known
to fall below sera In the severest winter weather. Seward Is but a few degrees north of Ixmrton.
ths mstropolis of tha world. The Japan current, carrying a stream of warm water l.noo ml'ea
wide from ths tropica, tempers ths climate of Southern snd Centre! Ai-i-Vn similar! ns 'h
Oulf Stream tampers ths climate of Oreat Britain and Norway. I hare been for twenty years
engaged In railroad work. From my knowledre of every phaee of laihcan btulnes, 1 nv ii
as my best Judgment that the Alaaka Central Railway Is an enterpiise of merit not excelled
by any in America, with all the busrnesa It can handls waiting for It at libers I prlcea.
