a steady opening. Bears were in control
and hart the rains In the south been gen
cral, coupled with the decided weakneKa
shown by all rash grains, the decline would
have been much broader.
Wheat opened fairly steady, with traders
waiting for something to decide on either
way. After minor shorts and some local
longs came In the market eased off, with
no demand on the decline, easier outsldo
markets and the weakness In corn being;
the feature for the decline. May wheat
opened at 82H" and closed at 92'4c.
Corn was weak and unsteady and sold
off 'aslly, with no sustaining power In evi
dence. The heavy country movement and
the fact that the corn Is of a much better
grade than expected caused the easier feel
ins; among those holding the long corn.
May corn opened at 8oic and closed at
69c.

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Market Shows the Strain of Attempt
to Keep Up Prices. 1
UNION PACIFIC IS LOWER
l nlted States Uteel Also Drops on
Hantors of Selling by Inside
Interests Bonds Are
Firm.
NEW YORK. March 28. The stock mar
ket today showed quite plainly the sir in
of the attempt to keep up prices wnicn nes
been persisted In during the last week In
face of some natural tendency towards
reaction growing out of the disposition to
take profits on the considerable advance
already achieved since the rise set in.
The suspicion ot tne cnaracter 01 me
nrket waa saaravated bv an extraor
dinary sneeiilstive demonstration In the
curb market, where a new mining stock
was Introduced after a preliminary uourisn
of the advertising trumpet which haa been
going on for several daye past. Accusa
tions of manipulative operations on the
inrb cirhnnip In the last few days with
the object of furthering the curb flotation
found voice in tne current oiscuneion
tho market and contributed appreciably to
the disposition of the professional element
to attack the market. The metal Industries,
especially those connected with the copper
Industry, were especially vuineraoie, owing
tn the avmnathetlc relation they were sup
posed to bear to the exploitation In the out
side market. There was a recurrence of
sharp pressure, also on Union Pacific,
owing to revived effect of the proposed
scheme of financing announced by the
company earlier tn the week. The nature
of the selling of the United 8tates Steel
stocks -made an appeal to the reactionary
sentiment, owing to the suspicions that the
selling came from Informed and Influential
sources. Moderate resistance was shown
to the depression at times, sume support
centering on Northern Pacific. The passage
of the Alrlch bill by the senate made a
good Impression, but the action had been
expected and led to some realising salos.
Mercantile agencies reported some revival
of spring trade on conservative lines, Ad
ditional curtailment in New ingiana nuns
waa a counteracting influence. Last prices
were not far from the lowest. The state
ment of banking averages for the week
was much more favorable than that of
the actual condition of the clearing house
Institutions on Friday night. The $37 642,000
loan Increase reported by the Institutions
outsldo the clearing house is connected
with the resumption during the week of the
Knickerbocker Trust company. An an
nouncement that caused, much gratification
was that the last clearing house certificates
outstanding Blnce the financial crisis which
developed on October 26 had ueen reiircu.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value,
$1,446,000. United Stages 4s registered have
declined per cent on call during tne
week.

CATTLE Receipts of cattle today as
usual on Saturday were very light. For the
week the receipts have been about on a par
with last week, but have shown a gain of
close to ,000 head aa compared wltn ttvi
corresponding week of a year ago. Taking
the week aa a whole, the market has been
very satisfactory to the selling interests,
In that the demand has been active, while
prices have made a very material gain.
During the first three days of the week
the market on beef steers advanced rapidly,
being higher every day. On Thursday It
was evident that the wire edge was off
the market, the trade becoming dull and In
spots lower. On Friday prices were pretty
generally lOJUbc lower. After allowing for
the weakness of the two days, the market
is still at the clone of the week 60c higher
than rt was at the close of last week. Good
beef steers during the week sold up to $1.00,
the highest price paid ' since last October.
This means a good deal, when it Is remem
bered that the high point touched In August
of last year was only $7.30 and that that
was the highest price paid on this market
since 1902, when cattle sold as high as $8.16
in July and August. A feature of the mar
ket at the present time la Its activity, the
demand being very brisk and tho cattle
Belling freely at current figures every day
during the week until Thursday.
The advance on the best grades of fed
cows and heifers was about the same as
on beef steers. The fair kinds did not show
very much Improvement, but still they are
right at 26c higher than one week ago.
Common canners have improved very little
If any.
Blockers and feedera sold freely all the
week, there being a good demand on the
part of local buyers, aa well as a good
shipping demand, which kept the supply
well cleaned up. Prices firmed up and at
the close of the week are safely loa'Ac
higher on good kinds than they were one
week ago. During the early part of the
week the market waa active and everything
at all desirable sold very readily at pre
vailing prices.
Wuotatiotis on cattle: Good to choice
corn-fed steers, $6.6oru7.00; fair to good corn
fed steers, $6.O0&4.60; common to fair corn

HOGS The phenomenal advance in the
price of hogs which haa characterized the
trade all this week was continued today.
The market opened early In the morning,
with both packers and shippers free buyers
at prleea that were a big 2ao higher, or
2ijJoc higher than yesterday. The trado
waa suffloiently active at the advance to
effect a clearance of everything in sight
before 10 o'clock In the morning. The hogs
sold largely at and right around $5.60,
whereas yesterday the bulk of the bugs
brought 46.15tca.26. Good hugs which sold
up to $5.35 yesterday brought $6.60 today.
The lecelpts of hogs this week have been
very light showing a falling off as com
pared with last week of HO.Ouu head. At the
same time the receipts have been just
about on a level wltn the corresponding
week, of last year. The week started out
with a good advance and continued higher
every day, the advance being extremely
rapid. In fact, It has been the most sensa
tional market experienced In a long time.
Prices have been advancing just about as
rspidly as they declined during the early
weeks of the panic and at the cloae of the
week the market Is 75ft0c higher than it
was one week ago and the highest that It
haa been any time since November 4. The
trade is at a loss to account for the ad
vance, there being aa many opinions aa
there are men. Whether it will be perma
nent or whether It Is a temporary bulge
brought about by some gigantic speculative
enterprise no one on the market can say.
One thing Is certain, thst hogs are bringing
good prices and a good many sellers seem
disposed to teke advantage of them with
out waiting for anything better.

SHEEP Receipts pf sheep this week
have shown a very large gain over last
week, but rlie total haa been a little short
of the corresponding week of last year.
The market as a whole has been very sat
isfactory to sellers, prices advancing stead
ily and so rapidly that It bus been hard
work to really keep up with It. At t-e
close of the week It will be a very conser
vative estimate to call the market 25a"c
higher than at the close of laat week. As
a matter of fact there have been sales fullv
sue higher than anything brought last
week. The market on most days haa been
active at the advanced prices.
Mexican iarebe aold as high as $8.10 on
