UUAI1A, Marrh 1, lSoi. I neany lies the pead vl in mHii who owns a ilttie wheat. The market in scanda lous, ine opinion was pi city well gener ally formed mm morning mat the Jorni V. Oates crowd had gone out ft the May deal, but about tno timo this wan decided on tnu May uciiiin to snoot up hkhiii in m way tnai showed someone waa loosing alter 11. loo M&y option declined 'luesttay irom $1.104 lu l.U-j 'j'hu opening today was at I1.IJ14 ana there wss an cany break 10 1.i44, i.u. from there the May uecilned ateaoiiy until it reached li.Uiy i-ter it began to nnow a atronger undertone and advanced to l.i4 by noon. The July waa ill line witn the May. Liverpool closed with declines of Vi ', Antwerp went down 'fcj Heron uecliu-Hl 5i and Huoa Festh 14. lha maraet yesterday and at least part of today snowed a lieuvlness. which led to the nelief lu many quarter that the Wall street men are out of the wheat and liuva abandoned the deal. lips were scat tered Monday morning that the Oates crowd had glveh buying orders for u.uou.wuo bushel ana' some were caught. There is much talk of private settlements. It la said the Wrenn short Hue ia settling and ihnt the trades were settled up outside tho pit when the niHrkel was nround 81.20. It Is rumored D.vuo.uiM bushels were settled. Others say the eastern line is not being fettled and Outea Is not out of the deal. The more conservative speculators are steering clear of the May wheat. If the Hates crowd sold none of its wheat Tues day and today, and the long wheut cmnes Irom others, they must have had much company, for the trade is tremendous. There waa buying at tho bottom Tuesday by houses which might be operating lor Gates. There was a tendency this morning to overdo the short aide of the market and the reaction waa In part due to that. Rankin and Armour brokers bought Jul heat on the breaks. The cusli market went off with the sprtculntlvcs and the de mand was alow, in Chicago No. 2 hard was 4- under the May; at St. Louis the market declined 2V; Minneapolis. 2"-. and Duluth, 2Vc The northwestern receipts were sinau today, being 212 cats, against 4( last year. Complaints are coming In from the east of the poor quality of the corn going on from Chicago. It Is said the email ex port demand there' Is being ruined by the poor condition of the corn that ' arrives. This Is said to be due to lax oul-innpectlon at Chicago, as corn graded as No. 3 ar rives In New York No. 4 or 110 grade. The et would be glad to get the No. 3 corn which the nrt "Is pending Into Chi cago. The clearance -today were 404. 000 bushels. The May corn wna not as good as Tuesduy.

CHICAGO (,Rtl A!D PROVISION Features of the Trading and Closlag Prleea on Board of Trade. CHICAGO, Marrh l.-A sharp rally In the price of wheat today followed a de cline of an even cent under yesterday lowest figures. May wheiu closed with a net gaiu of l,c. July la up V"JV--. Prob abilities of decreased pumaiy receipts formed the principal cause 01 strength. Corn and provisions are about unchanged. Ohis are up ViS-" , In the face 01 lower prices at Liverpool the wheat market here opened strong with May up Wqi at $l.i:iVal-l'- Jmv wa" a shnoe to t!1V' higher at Ss'aWVic The initial strength was mainly one to active buying by commission houses. Pe-creasi-d nortnwest receipts furnished: the motive for tho excellent demand. Pit traders were the principal sellers. Toward the end of the first hour the market ex perienced a severe setback. May declin ing to $1.12'. July sold off to 97-c Oon eral liquidation ot May was the cause of the slump. A report that arrangements had been perfected for shipment ot wheat from Duluth to $hls mnrket to nil May contracts started the selling. At the same time weakness of com encouraged bear traders. On the break, shorts became active buyers. News from Minneapolis whs decidedly favorable to bulls, reports Indi cating that receipts from the Interior points would decrease materially within a short time. Primary receipts also gave indications of a general falling off, total arrivals today being only 3Kfi,00 bushels against 2,6m bushels a year ago. Lata In the day the buying was of a moat In fluential character, the market readily re sponding to the demand. May advanced 1 $1 1IH and July to Hsc The close waa decidedly strong with May at $1.1 a. Final quotations on July were at 987ic. Clear ances of wheat ami flour were equal to 9iuo bushels. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 212 cars, against' 4(6 cars a year ago. Eariv in the session the corn market waa weak as a result of liquidation by commission houses, larger receipts than expected had some Influence on '"fV trading. With the aharp advance in wheat an improved demand for corn developed. The market closed1 s'rong with prices near the highest of the day. May opened un changed to Vfcic lower at 47Mi4i'iP to 47-,c. sold between 47V&477iC and closed at 47Hc local receipts Were 2S2 cars with 1 of contract grade. An active demand for cash oats was tho chief reason for a strong undertone In the speculative market. Shorts and pit traders were good buyers. May opened unchanged to a shade lower at 31'(iJllc. sold up to SlHfrtSle and closed at 31V. Local receipts were 130 cars. At the suirt sentiment In the provision market was rather bearish, but later a. firmer tone developed on the strength or grains. Trading was quiet the entire day. At the close May pork wns a shade higher at $12.65. Ijird and ribs wera unchanged at $6.95 and $0.75. respectively. Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat. 7 cars; corn, 411 care; oats, 128 cars; hogs, 35,000 head. ,, The leading futures ranged as follows: Artlcles.l Open. I High. I Low. I Close. Yes'y.

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS Market it Reliered of Much of the Urgent Pressure to Realize. ATTEMPT TO LIFT PRICES FAILS Each Hlah Level Brlnas Ont n l-arge Batch of Helllns: Orders that t Sends Valaes Dowi-ward. NEW YORK. March l.-The stock mar ket was relieved today from urgent pres sure to realir.e, such as charactej-lxed it yes terd:iv, and showed evidence of revived strength. Attempts to lift prices, however, were constantly frustrated by an outpour ing of selling order at the high levels, which turned the course of prh-es down ward a number ot times during the day after considerable advances had been ef fected. There was a decided falling off also In the buying demand at the higher level, Indica ting that confidence was not fully re-established In the stahlltry of the market. There was a party In the speculation holding a pronounced view In faror of a further re action in prices as being Justified by the ex tent of the previous advance and also by the lack of confirmation of tho many rcmors upon which It had been accom plished. But th bear party showed no signs of the aggressive disposition mani fested In the fierce raids upon prices In yes terday's trading. On nccount of this mod eration In the tartlca ttf the bears and the hesitation of the opposing party In follow ing the advance with 'buying; orders, the trading waa much quieter than for several days pant and there waa a decided shrink age In the volume of the day's dealings. The demand from the shorts to cover was a considerable factor in rallying prices when the resisting power of ihe market was de veloped. New York was conspicuously af fected by this factor. The recovery was stimulated by several new points of strength. The most conspicuous of these was the southern group of railroad stocks, which rose quite easily without any new announcement In explanation. The move ment In them was commonly attributed to one of the strong speculative parties which has been prominent in that group of stocks on previous occasions. There waa more substantial basis for the buying of the Eries found In the excellent showing of net earn ings contained In the January report. Other anthracite carriers reporting for January liore out the evidence offered by the Erie and the Reading reports of the strong con dition In the . anthracite trade. Amalga mated Copper was a figure of strength In spite of the reduced exports of copper for February. Other reports hearing on tho movement were vague. So were the asso ciations of Improved trade conditions upon, which Sugar was advanced. The move ment In the New York public utilities was supposed to be due to the views of opera tors on the outlook for legislation affecting these corporations. Rcjxirts of large orders for steel rails to the United State's Steel corporation were of moderate effect on these stocks. Money was easier and the rate for call loans was lower. The speculative liquida tion was uaslgned as the cause of the easier tone of money In part, and the passing of the temporary effect of the Southern Pa cific bond transaction waa also a factor. Foreign exchange hardened to some extent In response to the money conditions. As tho day progressed without the dreaded re newal of pressure of speculative liquidation sentiment showed a growth of confidence and the whole tone of the market gained In strength. Belated shorts added to the volume of the buying and the closing was strong at the best of the day and at sub stantial gains over last night. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value. $3,425,000. United States 2s, coupon, advanced c. the 3s c and the new. 4s per cent on call. The quotations on the New York Stock exchange ranged as follows: Bales. High. Low.

Traders aa a ruiu were look ing lor liberal receipts today and when they tailed to materiHii-eo buyers started out car- nnd competition waa keen. About the usual proportion ot the receipts consisted of eorn-ted steers and the market could safely be quoted wrong and active and a g.-od many sales were around a dime higher than the same kinds sold for yes terday. The demand was of course greatest for the more desirable grades, but in the absence of many good cattle even the com mon kinds sold freely at better prices than were paid yesterday. Everything In sight was (Msposed of at an early hour. The cow market was also active and prices showed an advance of 5510c. For the three days this week the market Is right around 15fli25o higher on all grades. The supply so far this week has apparently been Inadequate to the needs of packers and as a result prices have Improved rapidly. The same as with steers the choicer grades are in the greatest demand, but still the common to medium grades have Joined In the advance. Bulls, veal ealvea and stags are also aell lr" nt pood strong prices. There were very few Blockers snd feeders on snlc, nnd with a falrlv good demand the market wns active with prices a liltle stronger all around. Of course catt'e of common quality are not very ready sellers, but cattle at all desirable, no mittr whether thev nre lieht or heavy sold freely this morning at strong prices.

Salesmen 011 the other hand thought they ought to get steady prices and o nsequently it ws lather late before much business was transacted. Home of the shipper wanted a few choice butcher weights and for the kinds that suited them they paid Just about yesterday prices. Aalde from the purchases made by shippers there wss lit tle buMnois transacted before the mldole of the forenoon. The situaiton, however, did not Improve as the dav advanced and -salesmen finally had to cut loosei at prices ranging mostly from 2Vjc lo 5c lower. The close of the market In fact waa mostly 6c lowar. Th lightweights sold from U.ii down: butch er and mixed. I4.77-4 to 84.85, nnd heavies mostly at l4.85tfM.S6. Moat everything was sold by noon.

The same as yesterday, the demand for sheep was fully equal to the supply and the market ruled active and steady. West ern ewes sold for V5.40 and Mexican ewes $5.50. Kwes and wethers, mixed, brought $5.76. There were no choice yearlings of fered. The lamb market was again low and weak. None of the packers seemed to be very anxious for supplies, but, on the other hand, nothing choice was offered. Most of the lambs on sale were only In fair flesh and feeder buyers took the major portion of them. It was rather late before a clearance was made.
