Corn was up lc. Oats were lo higher. Provisions were 12V41?35a higher. The wheat market was strong all day, with the exception of a brief period fol lowing the opening1. The feeling was somewhat nervous at the start an a re sult of the sharp decline yesterday, but after the first few minutes an actlce de mand from 'elevator Interests soon stirred prices upward. The advancing tendency continued throughout the remainder of the session. The market received vigorous support In the" last half of the day from short and null leaders, the demand from these sources being based to a large ex tent on reports to the effect that stocks of wheat ,4, thenorth wet are new e trejnely small. Continued srnaj) receipts at all primary markets' In this country also helped to stimulate demand. The marknt closed strong, with prices almost at the top.

Persistent buying on the part of leading longs stampeded bears In the corn pit and forced prices up more than c from the low point of the day. Local receipts were more than 100 cars In excess of what had been estimated, and this caused moderate weakness early In the day, but bearlahness soon gave place to a tone of decided strength.

NETT YORRSTOCRS AND BMDS Market 1$ WWpped Into a Semblance of Animation for a Time. REACTION FOLLOWS ADVANCE Ilepharn BUI, That Wilt Prevent Tradlagr In Maralna, Haa F, fleet of Cnsettllna- "entlmeat Bonds Heavy, NEW TORK, March 8. The stock market was whipped Into a semblance of animation for a time today, but soon the proceedings dropped back Into a letharglo state with a reaction from the advance. Covering operations by shorts were as signed as a chief source of the demand, which was Invited by a succession of Inci dents in the last day or two serving to make the shorts uneasy. Today there was printed In the financial district a specific statement attributed to Attorney General Bonaparte that there was no Intention on the part of the government authorities to move an Injunction against the payment of the Southern Pacific dividend on shares held In the V nion Pacific control. The bear element In the speculation has been making much of this supposed Intention to help In depressing Btocks and they bought to cover with this development. Support was still evident In National Iead and the resumption of mining operations In the Montana copper camps continued under discussion with some stimulating effect on the copper Industrials. The extension of the rise today after a considerable advance yesterday drove In shorts which were not affected yesterday. The dying out of the demand after these operations wore af fected was pronounced. The element that prospers from hft-bltnal activity In stock operations was much Impressed with the progress of attempts to secure legislation looking to the limitation of such operations to the actual transfer of holdings fully paid for. The Introduction of a bill In congress to tax stock transfers at the rate of 60 cents for every $100 share Of stock makes a penalty that would be rrohlnltlve of the ordinary marginal opera Ions In stocks. Reports that this bill had the approval of the administration were current about the Stock exchange and added to the feeling of gloom for some time prevailing there over any change of revival of stock market activity. Fears were expressed of a similar measure from Albany. The animation of favor of re striction of dealings In future privileges In commodities added to the Importance of the subject In the estimation of the stock Albany. The animation In favor of ra tions annnunced on behalf of the govern ment against railroad companies for non compliance with the safety device require ments of the law kept alive the subject of governmental activities against corpora tions. The publication of the annual report of the Pennsylvania road, although It dealt with conditions of the past, was made the occasion for support of the stock, owing to the record achievements of the year In earnings, as well as In outlay. The reports supplied by the railroads to the Interstate Commerce Commission of monthly net earnings are read with growing attention, atlhough the changes In accounting prevent accurate comparisons with previous re ports. The legal requirements for the methods of accounting give these reports added authority and the ratio of operating expenses affords a clue to the effects niw being felt from economies. These are be coming more effective as the return to the owning companies of Idle freight cars Is perfected, which made a heavy and expen sive movement or empty cars while it was at Its height. Copper was marked down again today both in London and at the New York Metal exchange and this "had an Influence on the reaction In prices from the advance. Money and exchange markets were dull and featureless. The rise in last week's reports from New Tork to a value of over $2O,000.0n0 Is explanatory of the restraint on any advancing tendency in the foreign exchange market. Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value, $2,292,000. United States 2a declined H per cent on call. Number of sale and quotations on stocks were as follows: Bales. High. Low.

East ern markets were reported moderutely sup piled and generally steady, and as there was a good demand from local packers as well as quite an extensive demand from shippers and export buyers the local trade was reasonably active throughout, with prices fully steady at yesterday's advance. As lias been the ca--m for some time past the inquiry was best for the desirable light and medium weight steers and these sold to the best advantage, while aa usual tho heavier grades were Inclined to drag and where the quality was not very good prices were perhups a trifle easier. Tho general market, however, was quotably steudy all around. The market for cows and heifers pre sented no new features. The supplies were not very extensive and with the usual good general demand It did not take dealers long to get down to business on the basis of fully steady prices, with some of the more desirable grades perhaps a little stronger than yesterday. The outlet for common and canning gradea Is small and stuff ot this kind is usually rather slow sale. Veal calves, bulls, stags, etc., were In good demand and quotably strong. There was not a great deal of activity In rtockers and feeatrs, but for the most part prices held about steady. Choice steers of all weights were free sellers at fully steady prices, but rough and low grade stuff was In Indifferent demand and in some cases a trifle easier.

ISO 4 20 HOOS Receipts of hogi were very lib eral this morning and with markets both cast and west heavily supplied and re ported lower It took prices to move the stuff here. Buyers for the packers were generally rather bearish In their views and started out bidding fully loo lower than yesterday. As a matter of course salesmen were slow to grant the conces sion and trading was rather dull right from the start. After a trading basis had been reached, about 6ul0c lower than yes terday, the trade became slightly more ac tive and by noun a very good clearance had been made. Owing to the fact that heavy and butcher weight hogs are becom ing scarce all classes of buyers are taking the good light weight stuff more freely and the range of prices has narrowed down Somewhat. The top today waa $4.3u, as sgatnxt $4 40 yesterdsy and the bulk of tho offerings went at $4.U(j4.20 as against $4 SV'it.aj yesterday. Representative sales: Ko. . !. Pr. Ne.

The situation In the sheep division remains about the same as It has been for the last several weeks, that Is, with no appreciable change for mutton grade of lamb, except possibly a rather easier reeling on loads carrying muoh weight. Handy weight kinds were practically steady today at current quotations. The supply of mutton sheep has hardly been up to packers' expectations this weak and aa a result a gradual Improvement In prices appeared, so that It Is safe to quote mutton grades of ewes, yearlings and wethers strong to 10c higher than a week ago. There was again little doing In the feeder division, both the demand and supply being limited. Occasional loads are going to the feed lots, but there Is no very regular or extended Inquiry, so that soles are few and far between. Nominally the market shows no material change from the last week.
