riUCAt.O GRAIN A D PHO ISIO.fS
i-'ea tares af the Trading: aait t losing
Prices an Hoard of Trade.
CHICAGO, April 3. Ati official forecast
of rain for Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri
caused weakness tortsy In t lie? local wheat
market, the May delivery closing at u net
loas of ViC. Corn and oats were each un
changed. Provisions were KxgU'io to 2ic
lower.
The wheat market was Inclined to be
weak must of the day. There was a little
show of strength at the start, owing to
11 advance at Liverpool, but the predic
tion of wet weather tor the souihwec
brought out quite free offerings soon after
the opening, and prices declined more than
ic before the end of the first half hour.
Sentiment continued bearish throughout
the remainder of the day, although prleta
rallied a trifle late In the session because
of moderate buying by shorts, which was
based chiefly on reports of moderately
actlvo demand for cash wheat lure. Crop
news from the southwest waa conflicting,
reports from Nebraska claiming damage
by drouth, while advices from Oklahoma
told of the excellent condition of the naw
crop. The market closed easy. May
opened c to c higher at 93c to -'le,
aold off to 92H0 and closed at ic. Clear,
ancea of wheat and flour were equnl to
279.100 bushels. Kxporta for the week, as
shown by Bradstreet's, were equal to 2.90I,.
tH) bushels. Primary receipts were 314.00)
bushals, compared with 672,OuO bushels f.rr
the corresponding day one year ago. Min
neapolis, lluluth and Chicago reported r.-
. celpts of 214 cara. against 195 cara last week
and tttO cars one year ago.
The. decline In wheat, favorable weather
for the movement and a slack demand for
the cash grain had a depressing effect on
the corn market, aentlment In the pit being
bearish all day. The volume of trade
was small. Demand came largely from
cash Interests. The market rlosed steady.
May opened unchanged to 4c lower at
i',c to 664c, sold off to 6-r4C ana closed
at c. Ixical recelpta were 188 cars, with
Rf. eura of contract grade.
The feature of the trade In oats was the
elllna of the Julv and September deliver
ies, because of the favorable outlook for
iim new rrrm In the southwest. As a re
suit of this selling pressure, those options
displayed considerable weakness. Elevator
liii ..real a were moderate buyers of May,
which caused that month to hold fairly
ateady all day. May opened c higher at
K!V-, "old off to 53',4C and closed at 63c,
I.ncul receinta were 169 cars.
Provisions were weak throughout the
esslon, owing to liberal realising by hold
era and selling by commission houses on
stop-loss orderi. A lOWl.lc decline In the
price of live hogs was-chiefly responsible
for tha Belling pressure. At the close May
iwrk waa off 2fic at $13.26. Iard was down
L
1W12SO at $$.30. Ribs were 12Vi4jUc lower
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat:

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Market Continues to Be Dominated by
Influence of Erie Problems.
RUMOR OF HARRIMAN DEAL
Report that la lea Taelae laterrsts
Arc After Line Are Discredited
Wheal Latter Issue Bealna
ta ell Oil.
NKW YORK", April 3. The siock market
continued to be dominated by the Influence
of the Krle problem today, the disposition
being emphasized to refrain from large
operations, until the uncertainty overhang
ing the situation Is cleared up. An Impres
sion lis grown up In the financial district
that a contest of some sort between finan
cing power of the first magnitude Is In
volved In the settlement of the fate of the
Krle. The assumption that th assertion
of the Harriman influence In the property
Is an Issue was the cause of the importance
attached to the movements In fnlon Pacific
as a possible Irilrx of the course of events
regarding the l.ria. It hns Ix'conie known
that a large pa., of the Krle floating In
debtedness Is due 10 Mr. Hurrtmnn or to
allied Interests. The stand attributed to
these Interests against a receivership or
reorganization of the finances of the com
pany is believed to be intluenced not only
by the purpose to safeguard these immedi
ate interests, but by the desire to avoid
thn shock to general confidence that wouhl
result In case of 1111 Idle receivership. The
fact that a t'nlon Pacific bond Issuu Is al
ready dct-rmlncii upon, subject to ratifica
tion by tli stockholders, Is one of the
reasons supposed to influence the Harriman
party In Its solicitude for tne preservation
of the Investment situation as far as possi
ble. That there Is a contention In favor
of a receivership for Krle among the own
era is generally assumed and the uncertain
weakness of the securities of the company
Is pointed to as corroboration. Prices In
the Krle securities. In the opinion of many,
have approached n receivership basis be
fore this. The decision to bu arrived at
for meeting the company's financial crisis
will be regarded more for the general
policies to he Indicated on the part of the
large finunclal powers concerned In the
contest over methods of procedure than for
the immediate results to the company.
When I'nlon Pacific was rising a prospect
was Inferred for avoiding a receivership
for Krle. When I'nion Puclfie yielded an
Erie settlement was considered doubtful.
The heavy tone of I'nited States steel
was of marked sentimental Influence on
the whole market. The reports In circu
lation of the tono of comment at a din
ner In New York of steel men brought
out an informal statement from Chairman
Uary of the 1'nlted States Steel corpora
tion, who was host of the dinner, assert
ing the hopeful confidence of the vlws
expressed at the dinner. Judge Gary's
assertion "that so far as I know, there
has not been of late any disposition on
the part of any steel makers to change
prices." was addressed to the persistent
reports In circulation of a coming general
1 ut in steel prices and of the lethargic de
mand for iron at present prices. An
other reduction in copper here and In
London had Its influence on the esti
mates of the iron and steel situation. The
market received no benefit from the fore
casts of the bank statement, which Indi
cated a gain of some $10,000,000 In cash fur
the week. Foreign money markets were
affected by the unexpectedly large offer
ings of Herman and Prussian government
louns. Further withdrawals of gold from
London stiffened tho discount rate there
and foreign exchange here was Inclined to
advance. A recovery In Ixindon exchange
at Paris, however, served to .widen the
margin from the tpoint of profit on gold
exports from New York. The closing de
pression of the stock market was due to
the further postponement without action
of the Krlo directors' meeting.
Honda were steady, but the market was
narrow and dull. Total sales, par value,
12,094,900. Cnlted States bonds were un

CATTLE Receipts' of cattle were very
light this mornlntt. there being hardly
enough caltlo In the yards of any kind to
really make a test of tho market. More
over, there were 110 very choieo cattlo to
attract very much attention. The few cat
tle here, however, sold as a rule in good
season In the morning. This was true or
all kinds of killers, both beef steers and
cow stuff. The prices paid did not show
any material change. There were no feed
ers of anv conseottence in first hands
1 tie market at the close ot ine ween in
2T$j)40c lower on beef steers, the medium
kinds showing tho most loap. Cows and
heifers are riuht around 2fc lower, with
tho fair and medium grades showing the
most severe loss. The choicest feeders are
lust about as high as any time, but the
common to medium grades ami all light
stockers are 264i40c lower. Light stockers
have been extremely hard to move even
at the decline.

HOGS The downward movement In hogs
Inaugurated yesterday waa continued to
day. The shippers were out of the mar
ket and witli Chicago Bending out re
ports of a large number carried over from
yesterday and lower prices today, packers
took advantage of the situation to deal the
market a hard blow. Hence It was that
the hogs sold lU15o lower than yester
day, that Is largely at $6.656.70 as against
e5.7ofi6.So yesterday. Some pretty good
hogs sold today up to $6.75, the top yester
day having been $6.K a dosen loads bring
ing trist price. While the market was not
exactly active, the hogs kept selling and
most everything waa cleaned up in good
season.
Today's decline leaves the market still
about lTVte higher than it was at tha close
of last week.

SHEEP Receipts or slteep this morn
ing were very light there being hardly
enough here to attract very much atten
tion. Most everything sold In good sea
son and the trade could hardly be sum
med up otherwise than a good steady and
reasonably active market. Mexican lambs
sold up to $8.00 with some fairish Mexican
ewes at $6.50. A bunch of the same lambs
that brought $1.06 on Monday sold up to
17.00 today.
While the market la ikx quite as strong
as it waa the first of the wek. the trade
is nevertheless in a good healthy condition
and sheep men as a rule have a good
deal ot confidence in the future of prices.

LONDON. April 3. Money continued In
good demand on the market today. Dis
counts were firmer. Trading on the stock
exchange was under tho weigiit of new
Issues and ruled dull and easy. The new
Oerman loan besides having a weakened
effect on the foreign section caused a
drooping tendency In consols and other
kindred securities. Japanese shares were
offered In the afternoon. Copper shares
started well, but declined later with the
price of the metal. American securities
were no exception to the general Idle
ness, the uncertainty regarding the posi
tion of tile Erie railroad and the irregular
tono In Wall street checking business.
Values went to over parity In the forunoon.

meager and on the receipt of the unin
teresting advice from New York stocks
scarcely moved. The market firmed unlet
with the exception of United States s'eel,
which was weak on New York selling.
