Prices as Beard Trade.
CHTCACK March 8. Wheat prices on

mand by shorts and bull leaders. At the
clqse the May delivery showed a net gain
of,2Hfc2c. 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. May opened VWo lower to ?c

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. The smallneas of farm reserves
and the strength of wheat were the prin
cipal factors. The market closed strong.
May opened unchanged to Mo lower at 61o
to aic. advanced to 3o and closed at
62o. Local receipts were 607 cars, none
of contract grade.

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,

CATTLE Receipts today were of very
reuaonable- proportions and made up of a
very decent class of cattle as a rule. 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.

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.

SHEER Receipts of sheep this morning
consisted of quite a few losds, with the
greater part of the offerings made up of
lambs. 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.

ment Goes lo Probate With
eat Objection.
Prosp4scts for a contest of the will of the
late Dr. Andrew W. Riley, who died leav
ing an estate of $75,000, failed to mater
ialise, and Tuesday the will was admitted
to probate by County Judge Leslie with
out objection on the part of the relatives.
Joseph Hayden was appointed administra

not qualify Tuesday, but will do so later.
After the will was opened It wns ru
mored that J. E. Riley, brother of Dr.
Riley, would contest the validity of the
will. It Is known he consulted attorneys
bout It, but the fact that the will was
probated without objection Indicates he has
given up tho propoHed contest. He was
allowed $1,000, while the bulk of the estate
was left to other brothers and a sister.
