The flour trade was reported to be dull and the report demand for wheat poor. The outlook for the winter wheat crop has Im proved and the car situation Is reported to be worm, all news apparently being In favor of the bear side and prices adjusted themselves accordingly. May wheat opened firm at 69Ho asked, but the de.-llne to iJSc was rapid and nervous. May options closed strong at bo7o and a firmer lone was In vldence. Corn prices were well sustained In view of the extreme weakness In wheat, but the primary causes were light offering arid those of poor grades. Little contract Corn Is in the market and trnders were loath to ik-al In the grade offered. There was no pressure to sell oats and advices bearing on the situation were meager.

There was little or none of the urgent selling pressure today which has developed at one time or another during a session for many days past. The early market made some disquieting dips and there was more or less feverish feeling perceptible In the movement nf prices, but this was on a diminishing scale, and the tendency was towards a distinctly quieter market. The situation seemed to be that effective support was forthcoming at last for another hostile attack on prices The market was enabled to advance slowly as a consequence. The demand was not large, however, and the gradual harden ing tendency after the opening weakness was Interrupted by many halts and back sets and Intervening periods bordering on stagnation. The terrors of the bears have been dissipated to some extent by the fail ure of confirmation of any of the many alarming rumors of failures and embar rassments which were kept In constant circulation yesterday and the day before. There was a noticeable resumption today or tne buying In odd lots, which was sup posed to represent the presence In the market of the small Investors, attracted by the rate of Investment return on stocks offered at the resisting prices. Operations of a larger class on margin were almost entirely In the hands of the professional class, and their many shifts of position accounted for the constant backing and filling of the market. The Incident of the day to which most Importance was attached was the advance In the official discount rate of the Bank of France from 3 to 3K per cent, carrying the private discount rate up with it to 3 per cent. It was generally assumed that this movement was directed against the London market's pressure on Parts. The recent high ruling Vate of sterling ex change at Purls was attributed at first to remittances from Paris to take part In the Japanese loan conversion nt Ixindon. Some opinions also attributed the result to a process of remittances from Paris prompted by the "desire of French capital to escape the proposed Income tax. U was reported that the Bank of France was act ing In conjunction with the government in refusing to part with gold for export In order to oppose the movement of French capital away from the country. The ac tion of the French bank, however, broadly considered, Is accepted as confirmation of ine woria-wide tightness or money mar ket!. Today's Bank of England returns showed an expansion of fl4.7GO.OfK) In out standing credits, which was the decisive ractor In the decline In the condition of the hank, the reserve and bullion Items be ing little changed. The period of tax col lections In London Is now passed and It Is considered possible the Bank of England will control the money market as abso lutely as heretofore. With the Anrll set tlements out of the way. It is doubtful whether the tacit agreement which New York bankers are assumed to be under to take gold from the London market will oe longer observed. Official announce ment by the Erie railroad today of the postponement of sweeping plans for .new outlay marked another staire in the re trenchment policy of the railroads In order to relieve tne undue pressure of the Insuf ficient supplies of capital available. Some stocks ended the day at the best prices, but the closing tone was rather unsteady. Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value, t1.6f8.ono. United States bonds were un changed on call.

The remainder of the receipts came straggling In during the whole day. As a result of the nonarrlval of stock trains buyers were very alow about getting out Into the yards. At the same time reports from other selling points were discouraging, so that the general feeling right at the start was weak and lower. Among the receipts of cattle today was quite a showing of pretty decent beef steers, but even that tact was not sufficient to put any life Into the trade. The market at the oienlng was a dead one, and there was very little life at any time during the day. The market as a whole might be described us slow and lUU15c lower. Cows and heifers were in the same condi tion as were beef steers. Buyers asserted right at the outset that they must take their purchases at lower figures today. As the offerings were quite liberal they suc ceeded to a great extent In having things their own way, the market being slow and lot) 15c lower. There was no great change In the mar ket for stockers and feeders. The country demand this week, especially for heavy feeders, has been none too good and specu lators In consequence were not very hungry I for fresh supplies, no that the general mar ket was slow and dull.

The fact that the quality of the re ceipts waa also on the common order made the trado even duller than It would other wise have been. The result was that was well along toward midday before very much trudliuc had been done. When the sheep did sell It was generally on the basis or nc lowvr prices, or itxu'Jbc ioww umn Monday.

HOGS The market opened this morning with buyers bidding a flat 16c lower than yesterday's general market, or lOo lower than yesterday s close. In other words, they were offering So 25 for the general run of hogs and some of them declared that they would not pay a cent more for any thing regardless how good It might be. Sellers made a hard struggle to maintain the market, but conditions were so much against them that they were forced to cut loose at packers' prices. When the selling tiegan the hogs went with a rush and the great bulk of all the hogs in sight changed hands In a very few minutes. The first sales were almost entirely at 86 25. very little attention being raid to quality. A few minutes later, when buyers had on enough hogs so that they were no longer afraid nf getting left, the trade slowed up and 86 22j became the popular price. A good many of the late hogs sold at this latter figure. It being almost Impossible to get any more than that even for the best loads. It will be noted from the sales below fnat the bulk of all the hogs sold at S6.22Vy;r 6 26. whereas yesterday considerably over half of all the hogs brought 86.40. The top yesterday was 16.46 and today 86.80. Today's decline carries the market to a point that Is 26c lower than at the close of last week, or Q45c lower than on Thursday of last week. Packers have been very bearish all winter, a fart that has been commented upon a good many times In these columna Up until recently re ceipts have been so llfht that It was Im possible for packers to hammer prices down to any great extent, with the result that hogs sold high all winter. During the last few days the large Increase In receipts at 11 market points has given them an ad vantage which they have made the most of. with the result that they have suc ceeded In breaking the market as noted.
