CHICAGO, March 27. More favorable
weather for the growing crop had a de
pressing effect today on the local wheat
market, but because of the covering by
shorts the tone at the cloae was steady,
the final quotations on the May delivery
being unchanged from yesterday. Corn
waa a ahadc lower. Oata were up H
Provisions were iH2Hc lower.
Monument In tne wheat Pit wai bearish
all day. It waa baaed upon reports from
private -ources that light showers had
fallen at different localities In Kansas and
that the teitiDerature tnere was conainer
ably below that of the last ten days. Other
factors making for lower prlcea were a
decline at various European markets and
a contlnuanoe of good seeding weather In
the northwest. The market made a mild
show of firmness early in the day because
of "green bug" reports, but this soon gave
way and the tone was moderately weak
until the last half hour, when prices be
came steadier on covering by shorts. The
merket closed steady. May wheat opened
tafiohangedr to Ho higher, at 76Vaf6Ho, b""'
.i.twett ?BHf46c and closed t,7MLO. Clear-'
jj ires of w heat and - flour ware equal to
"bushels. ' Primary receipts were 380,
j'xD bushels, against 440. Oft) bushel for the
and Chicago reported receipta of $34 cara,
against tuM cars last week and 362 ears
one year ago.
Trading In corn was dull and prices were
Inclined to sag. Receipts, which were
larger than expected, and a slack demand
from shippers tended to lower prices.
The close was steady. May corn opened
a shade higher, at SHHc, old at 44c
and then declined at 4Mo. The cloae was
at 4U-t6Ho- Local receipts were 2fi0 cars,
with none of contract grade.
Oats for May delivery were strong, but
other months were Inclined to be weak.
The firmness of the May option was caused
by the buying of a leading bull, which led
to considerable covering by shorts, w
oellent weather for farm work was' re
sponsible for the easier tone of the more
distant features. May oats opened un
changed to Ho higher, at 4l'4tf42o, sold up
to KStf42H0 and cloeed at 42c. Local re
ceipts were 147 cars.
A Sharp advance in tne price or May
and July pork was the feature of the pro
visions market. Shorts and local paok
ara ware eaa-er biddera for oork. because
Jk,'of a 6W10e advanoe In the price -of live
" hogs. At the close May pork was up 62Hc.
i at I18.27H- Lard was up 20c, at $8.20. Ribs
were up 20c, at $8.70.

NEW YORK, March 27 The action of
today's stock market served aa an admoni
tion to many too exuberant fancies about
the unreality of the recent severe experi
ences which the market has undergone. The
early spurt In prices which added 3 to S
points to the recoveries of 3 to over 7
points In yeaterday's market had the de
cided effect of cutting down the buying
demand. Without this sustaining force at
the higher level there was a backward
drift, which did not leave much of the
fairly sensational advances of the early
part of the day.
There was nothing In the day's news to
discredit the Information which had helped
yesterday a Improvement In sentiment, i he
Improved conditions were recognized as
still existent and the convictions still held
that the extensive decline In prices had
gone far to make sure the unfavorable
tactor In curbing the precipitancy In the
But the violence of the recovery was re-
farded as taking prlcea too rapidly away
rom the proper adjustment, though the
process of adjustment had been somewhat
overdone In the decline. The positive weak
ness of several securities waa an active
factor In curbing the preclpancy In the
early advance. The unsupported condition
of the Erles and the wide decline to a
level materially lower than was touched In
the weaker period of the recent selling
gave clear evidence of further liquidation.
I he usual sympathetic effect was produced
on other Morgan stocks, especially South
ern Railway, for which conditions of credit
and capital needs are moat ni-nrly analog
ous to those of Erie. The United States
Steel stocks were also afTected, seemingly
In sympathy. The companion weakness of
Pennsylvania was not ao clearly sympa
thetic, unless the liquidation was prompted
by the drastlo provisions of the proposed
railroad rate law pending In the New
Jersey legislature. Reports of measures for
railroad regulation by other state legisla
tures alao served to keep alive the sensi.
tivenesa of the financial district to this fea
ture of the activities of the times. The
money market showed palpable relief,
which waa attributed to the measures
adopted by the United States Treasury do
partment. The exient of the relief which
was expressed In the decline In Interest
rates left some rather disquieting deduc
tions of what the situation must have been
without the effective relief thus afforded.
The treasury's action was much dwelt
upon us an earnest determination of the
new head of the department to afford any
relief actually called for by the situation.
Not only In the disposal of the accumu
lated surplus, but also in the supervisory
activities of the comptroller's office has
there been subject for supposed solicitude
by banking authorities over possible adop
tion of new policies by the Treasury de
partment The question was discussed In
some quarters of the market today how
far the recent developments in the credit
situation might have been prompted by ar
rangements to conform to a stricter In
terpretation of requirements of the na
tional banking act than has been Insisted

SHEEP There was another fair run of
sheep this morning. In addition to which
there were a doiett loads th;t came In too
late to he sold yesterday. The demand for
some reason or other waa not verv uracnt
and the trade was slow and decidedly
iHcklng In snap during the whoie session.
Buyers' orders were appsrently small and
were limited to the better kinds of both
sheep and lambs, which were none too
plentiful, a considerable proportion con
sisting of the medium kinds. Such stuff
as buyers wanted generally commanded
steady prices and salesmen aa a whole
were describing the market ns steady on
the strictly good killers, but very alow and
weak on the medium grades. Among the
receipts were eight cars of lambs which
were weighed up lo a feeder buyer at $7.tl0.

' CATTLE Receipts of cattle this morn
ing were very light for a Wednesday: In
fact the receipts for the week so far have
been small compaieu wltn last week, at,
though fully as large or larger than 1
year aao.-
Packers all seemed to want beef cattle
this morning and there was more life and
snap to the trade than has been seen ln
the yards for some days. Buyers' were all
out ln good season and riding rapidly, so
that the comparatively few loada of beef
steers ln sight changed hands ln very good
season In the morning. The prlcea paid
were generally 10c higher than yesterday.
In other words the cattle today sold about
where they aid a week ago..
Cows and heifers were also free sellers
and they, too, were generally 10c higher
than yesterday. The receipts being light,
buyers soon had everything ln sight cleaned
up and the yards were deserted at an
early hour for the want of more cattle
to sell.
Only a few stockers and feeders were of.
feted and they sold very readily at strong
prices. r eeaera nave commanaea nrm
prices all this week and as receipts have
been moderate the supply has been kept
wen cteanea up.
