CHICAOO, March 16. Weak cable and a
alump In corn had a depressing effect on
the wheat market today, price at the close
howlng net loaaca of compared with
Saturday' final quotatlona. Corn and oata
cloaed weak and provision steady.
Heaviness and Inactivity marked trading
In the wheat pit. There waa no great Bell
ing preaaure at any time, neither waa there
any demand of consequence. With the ex
ception of a material decreaae In primary
receipt, the news and statistic of the day
were of a bearish nature. At the atart the
market was weakened by a decline of H1
Hd at Liverpool, and throughout the day
the heaviness In the corn market tended to
Inspire additional gelling. Report of further
complication In ' political, -conditions In
aouthcaatern Europe induced some cover
ing by short during the laat half of the
day. Prlcea throughout the day moved
with a good range. May selling between
Sl.l4 and 61.17. The market cloaed weak
!? at almost the loweat point, with May at
li.ls-4 and July at 61.04V
Realizing sales by out-of-town holders
cauaed weaknesa In the corn market. Fs
' vorable weather for the movement and In
... creaae In local atocka and visible supply
' s were the principal factor responsible for
. . the selling pressure. The market cloaed
weak at almost the bottom price, Mav be-
lng off e at C74c; July closed Me lower
. at 47Hc.
Trade In oats waa quiet and price fol
lowed the trend of wheat and corn, senti
ment In the pit being bearish all day. The
, cloae was weak, with prices off from ic to
' No. May being at MV4'c and July at
4i4o.
Unexpectedly liberal receipts of live hogs
at western packing centera prompted con
siderable liquidation of provisions, result-
lng In moderate weakneaa. At the cloae
prices were unchanged to T4c lower.

NEW YORK. March 15.-Busines In j
s-.ocKS today reii anotner mgree in ine
scale toward Idleness. The assembling
congress had little effect in releasing the
market from Its bonds. The delay In report
ing the tariff snd in sending In the presi
dent's special message was the assigned
motive for the halt. Confidence is not great
that those events will end the season of
dullness in stocks. The changes In the
course of debate In the frame of the tariff
as reported, the breaking of party lines In
the house, the differences between the two
nouses of congress over Ita ultimate form
and the period of delay In arriving st a
conclusion of the subject offer too many
and too uncertain possibilities to rncour
sge any Immediate action based nit opin
ions of the outcome. Such Interest as
was tsken In nffalrs was not expressed by
any active steps In the stock market. The
troubled European situation was respon
sible for some of the heavy tone at the
outset. Selling orders were executed for
foreign account In various Internationally
listed stocks, with the result of carrying
them under the closing level of Saturday
here. The great financial centers on the
continent show a spirit of apprehension over
the outcome of the situation In the HaiKans
that may not end until definite settlements
sre embodied In international agreements.
This Is taken Into account as one of the
Influences likely to keep affairs unset
tled, and which are operating to deaden the
speculation In stocks. Speculators in Read
ing had another disappointment In the ab
sence of a decision by the supreme court
In the commodities clause test case. The
strengthening effect of this postponement
on the stock Is taken to Indicate that the
professional speculative element Is count
ing still on a decision adverse to the rail
roads. Prices of copper were msrked down
again, and quotations both of bid and
asked prices falling a full quarter of a
cent per pound at. the local metal exchange.
Reports from the trade were of Increasing
unfavorable conditions in the pressure of
sccumulations on the market and the un
relieved caution of consumers in their hand
to mouth buying. Some special strength
In Consolidated Gas waa accompanied by
reporte of a plan maturing to segregate
properties of the company other than gas
producers and the disbursement of profits
from them separately to stockholders. Such
an arrangement might be presumed to be
Intended to show the relatively low earn
ing power of gas sales with a view to a
new legal contest of the 80-cent gas law.
The free engagement of gold for shipment
to Argentina and the likelihood of Its
being supplemented by further outgo to
London left the money market unruffled.
Demand for mercantile loans remains at
a low stage and the current stock market
hows no prospect of any such active de
mand for funds as would alter the situa
tion In the money market. Buying of bonds
has fallen off and left that department
dull In agreement wtlh the stock market.
The day's price movement so nearly bal
anced In their contrary courses that net
changes are trivial.

CATTLE Receipts of cattle this morning
numbered 176 car loads, as against 197 one
week aao snd 162 cars two weeks sgo. The
aualltv of the offerings was not very good.
there being an unusually large proportion
of verv trashy stuff among the arrivals,
earteclallv lla-ht stock cattle.
The market of the better kinds of beef
steers did not show aa much change, but
till thav ware weak to a little lower, and
lla-ht snd Inferior araslea were both stow
and 10c lower. The market on light cattle
broke badly st Chloago last week, so that
buyers nsturaily felt that tney were en
titled to some concession here and were
disposed to Insist upon It. It took pretty
good cattle to sell up ss nign as sn.au.
The market on cows and heifers was
verv dull throughout and generally lOjMoc
lower than last week's close. Buyers were
indifferent, being dhvposed to force the de
cline, Hemanrleit or leave the cattle unsold
Kor this reason the morning wss very well
advanced before very much business had
been transacted.
The feeder market was overstocked with
common sn Inferior grades of cattle,
there being a large number of northern cat
tie among the srrlvsls. The msrket was
generally slow and holders, especially of
Inferior kinds, found It rather hard worg
effecting a clearance. Prices were around
10ri6o lower than last week. ,

SHEEP Receipts were very liberal this
morning for the first of the week, about
thirty cars being reported tn, which was
not far from the number here one week
ago. The arrivals consisted very largely
of ewes and In-between kinds of lambs.
It will be remembered that at the close
of last week eastern conditions as regards
the mutton and sheep market was decidedly
unfavorable. Reports this morning did not
show any Improvement In the situation,
on the contrary Chicago was reported esrly
ss lower snd all other markets came dull
and weak. The market at this point did
not furnish any exception to the general
rule. The trade opened slow and prices
looked snywhere from wesk to 10c lower
than last week'a close. There seemed to be
a pretty fair demand for the better grsdes
of killers, but anything that was strictly
good was more or less neglected and hard
to sell. This was especially true of the
medium kind of lambs whicn buyers either
did. not want at all or else wanted them
considerable lower. Thus It hsppened that
the trade was more or less of a drag all
the morning.
A pretty good kind of ewes sold up as
high as $6.30, with the bulk of the sales
ranging all the way from 14. 75 up to $6.10.
There were no old wethers of any conse
quence and no choice light yearlings. One
bunch of rather weighty yearlings sold up
as high as M.S6. Pretty decent western
lambs brought 17.16.
