NEW YORK, March 29. (Special.)
Henry Clews In hli weekly market letter
says: i
Secretary Rhaw's nnr to refund 8100,000,

fair rally. In chief value, however, will bo
In facilitating the bank taking nut lii
crenred circulation. This must take time
and prol:ably will afford partial protection
against autumn stringency. The Immediate
effect upon the money market Is therefore
not important. At the most net more than
$?.non,fljo cash will be released from the
treasury, and the prnmnlness with which
this Hum will be available depends entirely
upon the rapidity with which bonds art- of
fered for redemption. Secretary Shiw has
acted wisely In counteracting a far as he
can the 111 effects of treasury absorptions;
but hi resource In this respect are now
limited, so the money market difficulties
must necessarily be very largely left to
self-correction.
For the next two weeks firm ratps for
money are likely to prevail. Afterward
there should be some Improvement by the
return of currency fnim the Interior,
though It would be an error to look for real
ease for some time to come. Aside from
the April 1 demands there Is a piMtlve In
adequacy In the supply of loanable funds;
because legitimate demands are heavy
owing to high prices and the'large volume
of business, while Ijr.Te sums are still
locked ud In Important financial operation:

course, while these conditions lust thfre it
little money to stare for stock mark t
rpeculation, ami the onl natural means of
relief Is through either further liquidation
or borrowing abroad. On the othes hand
Iktuldatlnn Is always unwelcome and meet
with atrong resistance when carried beyon I
certain limits, white the late declines, the
gradual strengthening of credit and the
large volume of business a!l tend to render
operations on the short eld1 hTeafter mor
or less dangerous. It should not be for
gotten al.'o that the present situation has
beep tj a considerable extent discounted by
the shrewder class of leaders and that, tin
satisfactory as many factors seem to be,
they have already caused a heavy decline
In the general market.
Ileserve llelow Average.
In aplte of a decrease of about $40,000,00)
in loans the surplus reserve is ttlll very
much below the. average usual at thl sea
son. Funds are plentiful In the forelsn
markets, especially at Berlin and Paris, but
Important Issues of new secrritles are
pending over there, particularly th-- Trnps
vattl loan In London, which will, ten-
rorsrtly at least, absorb all surplus funds,
t is quite reasonable to suppose that in
cae of emergency good American boi row
ers would huve no difficulty In securing all
necessary accommodation abroad, but
there is little prospect of any general ex
tension of our credit in Europe for some
time to come. Fortunately, we are sending
our produce to Europe In very large quan
tities, and so creating a good supply of ex
change. Much surprise has been exel ed at
the very low prices to which Britlph con
sols have fallen, which In the opinion of
pome experts rank the hlghret of all eecurl
ties. A variety of causes have contributed
to this result. liquidation in behalf of
those needing money Is one reason; the
coming reduction to a 2'.$ interest rate is
another, and again some holders have un
doubtedly sold to facilitate handling of th"
Transvaal lain, to bo mllnwed by heavy
borrowings on account of the Irish Icn I
bill. In any case, the present exceelve de
gression In consols is pun ly temporary.

One of the most unsatisfactory feature,
of the market is tho large Issues of nv
securities either recently issued or pending
It is true most of these Issues are made by
corporations of unquestioned strength; but
the supply of securities added to that al

of Investors to absorb at present prices.
These companies arc forced to make such
issues to provlle facilities Imperatively

render any efforts for a buli campaign all

certainty Is the Southern-Union Paclti-5
controversy, which as long as It Issts must
be reckoned with as a disturbing factor.

LONDON, - March 29. The stock market
last week suffered from a severe nervoui
attack. Responding to the reduction of In

CATTLE There wtre
bunches of cait.e in the yards this morn
ing, but tor the week receipts have been
very iloerai, as there is a tauin uoih ovri-
last wttK and a. so ovr ihu currtsponulng
week of last year. Other mar kern n.e
also had iloerai . receipts, so thit prices
have aurtered more or less.
The big end of the receipts all the week
conBisteu of beef aieers, so that prices on
unm suffered worse than on other kinds
of cattle. There, was not, however, any
f great number of the hanayweight cattle,
and witn yesterday s aavance mo maraei
on that class of cattle is not more than
luloc lowtr than the close of last weea
1 i.e heavy ''cattle, however, have been in
greater suppiy and are fu.ly 15c lower than
a ween ugo and some salesmen thought
they had -to take off 20c. The bulk of the
lair to good steers are now selling from
$4-6- to' 84.60, with the choice cattle going
argely rrom 4.w lo o.uu. Bomeming
strictly prime would, of course, sell higher
ing to killers goes largely trom $4,00 to 84.26.
Mhe supply of cow stuff this week has
not been vry excessive, and as the demand
was In pretty good shape the better grades
have held fully steady. On some days they
looked a little lower, but the week closed
about the same ar the close of last week.
Canners,-however, have been slow sale all
the week and are generally 26c lower. Cut
ters have been rather uneven and are from
steady to a little .uwcr. Canners are now
selling mostly from $2.00 to $2.50. cutters
around iil.uO, fair to good cows from $3.25
to $3.75, and the choice grades from $8.75
to $4.25. " Good handywelght heifers have
been in good demand all the week and are
fully steady. .
Bulls veal calves and stags have shown
very little change during the week under
review. The buik of the bulls are selling
from $3.00 to $3.60, with choice grades from
83 GO to $4.00. Good veal calvts are selling
from $6.00 to $6.50. . .
The stocker and feeder market has been
more or less affected by the decline on fat
stuff. Strictly choice thin feeders are not
much lower for the week, but anything
but the best and the warmed-up feeders
are lower, the decline being about the same
as on the steers that sold to killers.
Strictly choice feeders are selling from
$4 00 to $4.60, fair o good $3.75 to $4.00, and

HOGS There was a very iignt run of
hogs here today for even a Saturday, and,
as packers all wanted a few, the market
opened active and a shsrie higher. As
there were only about thirty-six load on
sale. It only took a few minutes for every
thing to change hands and there was no
particular change In the market from start
to finish. There were ni choice hogs on
sale so that, although the market aver
ages' higher than yesterday, th top Is
lower. The long string toll at $7.3j and
the extreme range of prices was $7.36 to
$7 35
For the week receipts have been larger
than at any time since the week ending
February 28. As compared with the corre
sponding week of laet year, however, there
is a decrease of about 600 head. Tho marke
has fluctuated up and down to some ex.tent,
but owing to the more liberal receipts at
11 nolnts the general tendency has been
downward. The week closed with the aver
age cost iwgac lower 111n.11 m mo tiuse Ul
last week. Representative sales:

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
Qiiet Day on the Board of Trade, with
Blight Price Ohanges.
PORK CLOSES A NICKEL HIGHER
drains Are All Fractionally Lower,
Favorable Weather Assisting the
Bears Oatslde Markets
Strong;.
CHICAGO, March 28.-Buslmgs on the
Board of Trade was quiet today and closing
prices were eaHer, May wheat being oft
W. May corn down W',ic and oats 's4fV4e
lower. May provisions closed from
lower to 6c higher.
There was a small trade In wheat, with
operations confined largely to local Inter
ests, and a nervous sentiment pervaded th
Pit. The opening was firm on good loial
buying, Influenced by the higher cables and
the big export clearances of yesterday,
May be.ng unchanged to a shade higher at
7o'V'f! 7f,c to i2c. The favorable weather
was an early bear factor and there was
considerable selling on that account, which
carried May down to "Zc, but covering by
fhorts on the strength of outside markets
soon brought about a rallv and the price
advanced to TMaTi'c. Offering. becami
more liberal as the seesion advanced and
there was a lessened demand on the mar
ket. The close on May was near the bot
tom at 72Hl72v4c, a loss of c.. Clearances
of wheat and flour were equal to ,i00
bushels. Primary receipts were 26,303
bushels, compared with 697,100 bushels a
year ago. Minneapolis and D-iIuth report!
receipts of I80 cara, whlcT, with local re
ceipts of 19 cars none of contract grade
made total receipts for the three points of
199 cars, against 1? cars last week and 675
cars a year ago.
Corn ruled extremely dull throughout the
session and the sentiment favored the
bears. Favorable weather for the move
ment caused a little easiness at the start
and there was considerable selling by pro
vlalon Interests and commission houses.
The early firmness in wheat was a support
ing feature and held prices fairly we,l, but
late In the aay the market became weaker
and the close was at about the bottom
prices. May being 'v$V4c lower at VA'g
4ac, after ranging between 43c and 43Vtf
43-sc. Local receipts were 157 cars, with
none of contract grade.
There was a fair trade In oats and the
market exhibited a moderate amount of
strength at times under a covering of the
may delivery. The sentiment was silll
bullish on the crop situation, but the break
in wheat had a depressing influence and
caued liberal selling late in the day. The
ciose was easier, with May off Vo'ic at
327tiig'3.'!c, after .selling betaeen 32t,(u32e
and 33sc. Local receipts were 221 cars.
Trading In provisions lacked any markel
features. In spite of smaller receipts of
lTbgs and higher prices at the yards the
market was barely steady, although a fair
demand for pork caused that product t-i
rule firm, the closing price being 6c higher
at S10.8i..tay lard wis unchanged at $10.(17'
and ribs down 2tyc at $9.85.
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat,
20 cars; corn, 120 cars; oats, 200 cars; hogs,
28,000 head.
