Feat area of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Hoard of Trade.
CHICAGO, March 3. Heavy realizing
sales caused a weak finish In the IochI
wheat market' today, the May d'Mlvery
snowing a net decline of 1SW1N. May
- corn waa up fee. Oala were oil 14 and
Vc. Provlalona were 6 cents lower o i
tioc higher.
' The wheat market waa nervous all day,
the range of prices being about 2 cents 011
all deliveries. Notwithstanding stmip nd-
' vancea at all tha principal European grain
"centers, the opening here waa weak. Dur
ing the first tea minutes prices declined
. neatly cine cent on general selling which
appeared to be mostly for tha account of
longs. Good aupport however, developed
and quick recovery followed, prlcea ml
lanclnj about two sents. The upturn
brought Out liberal offerings from several
lading vommlnslon houses and another re-
, action followed. , Newa of the day was
generally bullish. Primary receipts were
' again srrtall, total arrival elng l,XtO
1' bushels, compared with 1,138,000 bushels, on
tho -eorrerpondtng day a year ago. The
visible supply decreaaod l,Ei2,ono bushel,
and -local stocks showed a conHlderable de
crease for tho week. The market cloned
. weak at almost the loweat point of the day.
May opened unchanged to o lower ct
699V4c, sold between &1Wu9;c, and
Closed at 97S97c. Clearances of wheat
and flour were equal to 366.CKX1 bushnls.
The anount on pnxsage Increased 4,7S4,Q)0
bushel. Minneapolis, lHiluth and Chicago
reported receipts of 80 cars against 48
. cars last week and 89R cars one year ago.
The corn market displayed considerable
firmness throughout. Trade, however, was
rather light. Firm rablua and small cal
receipt! Tiad " a strengthening effect early
In the session but an estimate of Increased
receipts for tomorrow offset these In
fluences later. The lata slump In wheat
also Induced some profit-taking. The close
waa firm. May opened unchanged' to 'o
lower at efeftlHc sold down to HiC, and
then advanced to 61 He. The close was at
614C Local receipts were 19H cars with
none of contract grade.
Trade In oata waa very quiet and tho
market waa steady. Bmall farm reserves
had ' a strengthening Influence but were
offset by developements In wheat. May
opened unchanged at 6MMHp., sold off to
6-'tc, and closed there. Local receipts
Were 29H cara.
Provisions were firm early In the day be
cause of moderate buying by shorts but
lost most of the strength later. A decline
In live hogs had a depresiring effect. At
the close May pork was off 6c at (11.70.
J.ard waa a shade higher at- l7.ya'7-6;-4.
Hlbs were 3WtiUs higher at SA.62H.

NEW YORK. March 3.-Th slender se
gregate of business In stocks today was
movtlv completed during the first hour s
sess,on of the Stock exchange; The princi
pal operators tho.ight they saw a chance
of extending the decline which wae In proR
re.s when the market left off on Saturday,
.ivulllng- themselves of the complexion of
reports of conditions from various branches
of business. F.vents disproved the assump
tion and again disclosed the Insignificant
proportions of the market - When operators
short of stocks attempted to cover on what
thry conceived to be unfavorable develop
ment thpy found no offerings coming out.
llnrlnff operations consequently, advanced
prices..
The dividend on American- Smelter wa
announced as cut from 8 per cent to 4 and
that stock went to a level of- Saturday,
tending to show the energy of practiced
traders In anticipating the event. The re
sumption of operations In the Montana
mining camp was a factor of positive
strength and came as confirmation of as
sertions last week regarding which there
was more or less scepticism. The effect
on stocks affected was, however, moderate.
This "was partly duo to sentiment on tha
fall In tho price of copier today here and
In Ixmdon. The resumption of operations
In the llutte region was avowedly based
on the expectation of future renewal of
demand for the metal rather than on any
actual absorptive power of the present de
mnnd. Railroad traffic officials, however,
spoke In less hopeful strain over future
Indications for business than has been the
rule with them, even through the worst
depression. 'Railroad earnings reports
showed the heavy Inroads resulting from
depressions. The gross decreases of Penn
syivanlas lines directly operated of $2,00,
0"0 for January was held down to a de
crease of $"ti6.800 in the net. Even the
Southern Railway system, considered to
be at a disadvantage In Its opportunities
for retrenchment, shows a net decrease for
January of only $230,634, where the decline
In gross earnings ran to $it9.024. This ten
dency was regarded as favorable augury
for security holders. Reports of drastic
measures of curtailment of expenses on the
Gould system, however, did not prevent
evidences of weaknesses In some of that
group.
The report that the railroads generally
had agreed with the Interstate Commerce
commission without further delay to abide
by the nine-hour law for the telegraphers
was received with Interest In the same
connection. The disallowance of 'the Issu
ance of Erie scrip dividend had evidently
been discounted. The time money market
here showed an easier tendency and showed
that money had declined. Attention was
attracted by the compilation made by the
Journal of Commerce of new corporate
Issues for February, the total of less than
$SO.0O0,C00 showing a decrease of nearly $00.
000,000 from the new Issues of February of
last year. Nevertheless the Issue of short
time notes for the month Increased $5,941,
700. The Inference Is that corporations have
had no opportunity to float projected new
Issues and are atlll resorting to temporary
expodlents for necessary financing.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sates, par
value, $1,760,000. United States 8s declined

CATTLE The week opened out with a
very moderate run and there was more or
less complaint of the general indifferent
character of the offerings. Fairly satisfac
tory advices from eastern markets, to
gether with the limited offerings en sale
were responsible for a fairly active trade
and prices ranged from strong to frjjloo
higher than the close of last week. There
was a good general demund, both local
dressed beef men and eastern buyers show
ing a preference for the light handy weight
steers, while the heavier grades were not
so much sought after and common light
stuff waa a little sluggish.
The market for cows and heifers was not
very heavily supplied and with an Inquiry
from both local and outside buyers, the
trade ruled active and prices were 6loo
higher than last week on anything at all
useful In the way of butcher stock. On
common and canning grades the trade wa
slow and dull, with prices unchanged.
Fresh receipts of stockers and feeders
were comparatively light and there was not
a good deal of stale stock on hand. Yard
traders (licked up what fow desirable cattle
were offered at ruther better prices than
toward the close of last week, but on tin
general run of stuff the market was slow
and about steady.

HOOS Iteceipta were rather liberal for a
Monday and there waa Uttle change In the
ganoral character of the offerings a com
pared with last week. Reports from east
ern markets were not particularly encour
aging, but the local demand was ot fair
firoportlons and it did not take dealers
ong to get down to business on the basis
of prices that were steady to just a shade
lower than Saturday. Heavyweights had
the preference, but good lightweights ar
selling well up with the heavier grades, so
that the range of prices Is narrowing down
slightly. The top today was $4.40, the same
as on Saturday, and the bulk of the offer
ings went at e4.2wa-4.ao, as against $4.2019
4.36 on Saturday.

bHEL,r Receipts this morning numbered
twenty-six cars, of which number about
three-fourths consisted of lambs. The gen
eral conditions surrounding the trade were,
if anything, in sellers' tavor, and while
there waa no quotable change In price on
lambs, th trend of the market waa fairly
favorable and a clearance waa made in
good sesson at prices that were steady on
all desirable grade.
The supply of mutton grades of ewes,
yearlings and wethers waa hardly up to
the demand, and while prices, considering
the quality of tha offerings, could not be
quoted very much higher, still ther wa a
good, strong tone to the market, with the
supply Inadequate for the demand. A
bunch of Mexican ewes sold up to $6.10 thla
morning, a good, strong figure a compared
with recent quotations.
In the feeder division the supply was
limited, but as the Inquiry from the coun
try waa also small, the market In that di
rection was rather quiet. Some lambs sold
to go back to the feed Iota at reasonably
satisfactory figure, so that In the main
the market could be quoted steady at cur
rent quotation on the few needed to fill
country orders.
