James Wilson contributes a strong bull
argument, which.- however, does not affect
,tlie present situation He Ih quoted as
saying dollar wheat Is neceasary to en

Illinois and Kansas to raise hirge crops of
wheat. He says the great northern fields
are now refusing to riilee wh-at. and the
averager per acre hr only twelve bushels,
Hgalnst thirty for Kurope. He says the
plaji of letting the land lie fallow every
other year will not do and that there must
be rotation of crops. He believes the
wheat area will be badly decreased.

of rorn whs the feature of the day on
the Chicago Poafd of Trade today. On
thia profit taking prices dropped mterlsllv.
the Mav option nosing wlch a !u of u
c. hem whs Influenced by the break In
corn, the July delivery closing at a derllne
of "nfc'i'-. May outs are down Uc Provi
sions are pracHOHFly unchanged.
Interest of traders today centered In
the corn till. The market was a big affair,
with profit taking by a prominent long,
the leading ffature. Sale by .this one
trilrr are aald to have exceeded 3.'K".,s'
hiishrK Influenced by this heavy liquida
tion, pit trading became short soiling, thus
adding to an already weak market. One
of the thief reitsous for the unusual soil
ing pressure. It Is clnlmed. was the ex
ceptionally good weather conditions and the
prospects of extremely early corn planting,
one house claimed t lint planting will begin
In central Missouri In two weeks. Another
factor that Is said to be a powerful Influ
ence In the corn market at the present
time Is the probability of a heavy move
ment from Argentina In the Immediate
future. Ijtrgo primary receipts bellied to
create the bearish sentiment. The market
opened steady, with May unchanged to a
shade higher, at 47V to 47Tl'4sc. For a
time a comparatively firm tone prevailed.
May advancing to 43c on covering by
shorts. One of the prlnclpjj longs then
started to sell out part nf his holding!",
but demand was not sufficient to absorb
the offerings, and In consequence prices
steadily declined. After May hsd sold off
to 4Mrc. the market rallied on renewed
covering by shorts, part of the loss being
regained. The close, however, was rather
weak, with May off Nc, at 4'i 'ya 47 So.
Iocnl receipts were 2r5 cars, with 2 of
contract grade.
The wheat market was'afTected to a large
extent by the slump In corn. A secondary
factor was the continued excellent weather
conditions and additional reports of the
favorable progress of the growing crop.
An optimistic report from Kentucky was
that more wheat will be raised In that
section than ever. While the acreage Is
not as large It was asserted that the con
dition of the crop Is Close to 100 and that
the weather la perfect. This report was
supplemented by one from Kansas assert
ing that the total acreage sowed to wheat
in that state Is 5 per cent greater than
ever before and the condition of the new
crop could not be excelled. July opened
s lower to Vc higher, at SrtViciywiftc. Dur
ing the first part of the session the market
held comparatively steady, but with the
break In corn prices gradually yielded.
July declining to 87Sc The market rallied
materially late In the day on covering by
shorts: There was also some disposition
manifested to take on long wheat In view
of the decline In the value of future deliv
eries during the past few days. Final quo
tations on July were at KSWaSJtV- May
opened unchanged to Vtc lower, at $1.U4W
1.12, sold between tl.llSe and $1.12H and
closed at $l.lHc. Clearances of wheat and
flour were equal to 148,000 bu. Prlmnry re
ceipts were S2S.5O0 bu., compared with 334.
$00 bu. a year ago. Minneapolis, Dtilutli and
Chicago reported receipts- of 240 car",
against 164 cars last week, and 274 cars a
year ago.
Trading in oats was active, liquidation
by local and outside holders being of con
siderable volume. The market was In
fluenced to a hirge extent by the weakness
of other grains. May .opened unchanged
to Ho lower, at iWttii'Xr, sold between 29c
and 20c and closed at 2c. Local recelpta
were 119 cars.
The feature of trading In provisions was
moderate realisation In pork, resulting In
some declines. Covering by shorts caused a
rally, the market closing steady. May
pork closed a shade lower at $12.t7'i. Lard
was up a shade at $7,124. Ribs were un
changed at $6.92H''s.96.

Bonds la a Dlatnrhlng
Factor.
NEW YORK. March 19-Prtces moved up
wards again today on the 8:01k exchange
and the advance was notable in view of
tht downward swing which has been iu
pr gress s.nce March 1. Tb". average level
at the low point, was not lowrr than be
fore the ncovery set In last week. Such
renewed resistance at such a price level
has such significance ascribed 10 It as a
demonstration of a fixed level where ie
slstance becomes effective. If a downward
movement breaks through the level of a
previous decline made shortly before. It In
volves the impairment of margins and tha
closing of stop margins In addition to those
which were reached on the Immediately
preceding decline, and Is therefore likely to
be shnrpiy extended. With the power of re
sistance developed anew, the professional
fiarty Is likely to conclude that their ef
orts at depression have been defeated and
to desist. The recovery did not extend very
fsr at first, and the animation died out of
the market to a marked degree.
The speculative demand was restrained
by the Immediate outlook in the money
market, which Is such as to threaten In
convenience to borrowers unduly extended
and dependent on call loans. The Imme
diate Influence on the call money matket
waa the placing of subscriptions for the
$75.ono,Oiio installment of the Japanese loan.
These precautions may have been taken,
to avoid placing too large subscriptions and
it Is obvious that with the books held open
for several days there will be necessary
tying up of funds temporarily, the subscrip
tion requiring s deposit to be held until the
awards are made. It was believed In tha
banking world that at least $7,O00,0no or 8.
Ouo.ono would thus be involved. The call
loan market today showed the effect of this
preparation In the 4 per cent rate at which
money wna loaned even early In the day.
It Is reported that large subscriptions are
being offered here for this loan for Euro
pean account and the transfers of credit
in anticipation may help to explain the re-,
cent large decline In the exenange market

Peace rumors were again a decided Influ
ence in the world's security market and
London was a buyer as a reflection of this
market. The same influence served to
check business. The question is canvassed
whether the subscriptions to the Japanese
loan will involve the withdrawal of gold on
the demand of the Japanese government.
The successful Ixtndon Stock exchange set
tlement was an additional Incentive to buy
ing for London. The Canadian Pacific
group made another strong demonstration,
although the only news bearing on them
was the very favorable statement of net
earnings for February by the parent com-
fany. Reports from the coal trade Indicate
arge orders placed for anthracite at the
reduced prices to go into effect in April,
owing, It waa said, to the desire to secure
ample reserves against possible mining
troubles. The announcement of the Penn
sylvania bond issue was according to ex
pectation and the co-operation In the un
derwriting of the two great banking houses
which are most representative of the rival
linen of division In the railroad world was
of decided effect on sentiment as a sign of
harmonising Interests. This consideration
gave renewed force to the late suppositions
as to the Northern Securities settlement
and Its consequences. Union Pacific re
bounded strongly as a result and this had
a notable sympathetic effect on the whole
market. It had been feared that there
would be a flurry in call money late In the
day and when this failed to develop the
market took on new strength and anima
tion and went to the best prices of the day.
The closing,, however, was irregular and
rather dull.
The striking advance In the Wabash de
benture bonds on the contention of a com
mittee of bondholders for an exchange Into
a fixed Interest bond was the feature of the
bond market. Total sales, par value, $3,090,
000. United States coupon 3s advanced 4
and the new 4s 4 per cent on call.i

CATTLE There was a smaller run of
cattle here today than was generally ex?
pected, and as a result packers were out at
an early hour and the market ruled active
and stronger on all desirable grades. Re
ports from other points were also favor
able to the selling Interests, so that a
very satisfactory market was experienced.
The market on beef steers could safely be
quoted 6-ijlOo higher than yesterduy. Any
thing at all desirable wus mostly a dime
higher, while the common and medium
grades were strong, and in some cases even
that class sold as much as a dime higher.
Trading was active on all kinds, and with
the moderate offerings In siaht it took only
a short time for everything to change
hands. As will be seen from the sales
below, there were nulte a few pretty good
cattle included In the receipts.
There was also an active demand for cow
stuff, aid particularly for the better grades,
which sold generally &6Wc higher. Can
ners and common cutters, however, did
not Join In the advance to any extent, as
packers are still rather Indifferent on that
class, which prevents any material Im
provement In prices. But while the com
mon kinds were not any higher today, It
was not a difficult matter to sell them at
steady prices, so that practlcnlly everything
was disposed of by the middle of the fore
noon. Bulls also commanded good, strong prices
and veal calves sold to fully as good ad
vantage as they did yesterday. ,
The demand for the better grades of
Blockers and feeders whs fully equal 'to
the supply and the market on such kinds
could safely be quoted steady. Common
and particularly common cattle, though,
were hard to din nose of. and In some cases
had to sell for less money than the same
kinds brought yesterday. Representative

HOGS Receipts were quite moderate her
this morning, but reports from ottW points
were rather bearish and as a result pack
ers started In to pound the market, and
the esrly sales were a shade lower than
yesterday. It soon became evident, how
ever, packers all had liberal orders to nil,
and as a result the market soon strength
ened and trading became active. In fuel,
practically everything In the yards sold In
a very few minutes sfter the market
strengthened, and tha close waa about
steady .lth yesterday. The quality and
weight of the hogs was hardly as good as
yesterday. The bulk of the sales went
from I6.07H to 5 10. with the choicer loads
largely from lo.n1 to $6.15. Representa

SHEEP There was unite a liberal run
this morning, and as Chicago was quoted
Weak to a dime lower packers at this point
were Inclined to be rather bearish. An
other unfavorable condition was the fact
that the receipts were made up almost en
tirely ot ewes and lambs, practj.-ally no
desirable wethers or yearlings being of
fered. The market, though, could be
quoted about steady on the better grades
of shep, with common kinds slow and a
trifle lower. The kinds that suited buyer
changed hands in good season, but It was
late before the common stuff was all dis
posed of. '
The lamh market was slow with tho
feeling weak on all kinds. As high as 37.35
wa paid, but they were sold to arrive.
Packers did not seem to care much
whether they got any lambs or not. and
as a result it was late in the day before
much business was transacted.
