After the final pong, corn was Su V to H net lower, oats off Sifr'.c and provisions showing; oc to 16c decline. , There waa a decided disposition among wheat traders to Ignore the weakness of th stock market, It was equally apparent that the absence of rash demand here had cwased for the time being to have power to close down prices. What proved to be the determining Influence came in the ahape of July buying on the part of the local elevator men and others who pro fessed a belief that May delivery would go to a discount as compared with th later months. Primary receipts were light and there was a decrease on the stock In hand at Minneapolis. However, all price bulges brought out enough offertnga to satisfy demand, leaving the tone at the close Just steady. May ranged from wix&Wic and In the end waa unalterwd at K97ti0c, Corn displayed weakneas nearly from the start.

Feb. 24 The most violent decline lu stocks which hss taken place In msnv month ocrurred today a a result of ths decision of the Interstate Commerce commission SKalnat the railroads In the proposed freight Increase. The financial district was entirely unprepared for so complete a rejection of the claim of the transportation companies, and the early session on the stock exchange waa char acterized by extensive liquidHtion. wnlcn al most verged upon demoralization.. Prices of all the active lasues declined 1 to 7 points at the opening on enormous liquidation, coupled with a series of bear assaults. This wss followed by a concerted siipimrting movement, presumably on the part of most powerful factors In the finan cial world, which was effective In bringing about partial recoveries before the end of th first hour. In the final hour the market grew atoadily stronger and recoveries ranging from 1 to 3 point were registered, operations for th day were the heaviest In many weeks, aggregating W7.0"0 shares, as compared with 2.,8.(ilO yesterday. The first effect of the decision was felt In th ' London market, where American securities fell from 2 to 8 points on heavy selling, much of which doubtless resulted from orders sent from this city over night. This movement Is said to have aggregated over 400.000 shares. The heavy selling of Amerlcansan l,ondon was responsible fo a sharp advance In foreign exchange here on purchases of bills for remittance to the other side. At lh opening her the features of great est Interest were t'nlted States Steel. Read ing, and I'nlon Pacific, which opened In blocks of SO.Ono shares, lO.flOO and S.000. 1. spectlvely, at losse ranging from 6H to 44 point. The most cheerful note sojinded during th day wss the declaration' of an Initial dividend of 2 per cent by th Chicago. Milwaukee tt Puget Sound Railwav. This l the Pacific extension of the St. Paul road. Forecasts of tomorrow's bank statement Indicate that another cash gain may be expected.

It was fortunate, however, that such was the case as the demand has not been very active any day this week, while the tendency haa been steadily lower on all kinds of killing cattle. With lighter re ceipts today the market was given a sort of breathing spell and as a result the few cattle here generally sold in about the same notches aa yesterday. In other words all kinds of cattle were Just about steady. It would be well for the country to under stand thoroughly the situation prevailing In practically all the live stock markets of the country. The beginning of Lent being near at hand always has a more or less depressing effect upon the cattle market. At the same- time unseasonable weather haa contributed to decrease the consuming demand, and this fact, together with the near aDDroach of Lent, has made packers more anxious to clean up the surplus beef already In their coolers than to add any great quantity to the supply. Thus, as al ready noted, the demand for cattle this week has been extremely slow and dull and the market has steadily declined for the want of a srood buying support.

SO. PIGS. KHEKP Supplies of sheep and lambs were light this morning and a ready de mand for anything fit to kill was evident from the opening of the market. All of the regular buyers helped toward making an early clearance, bulk of offerings soiling at prices steady to possibly a shade higher. In most respects, the general trade was little different from that of yesterday, barring a greater degree of activity due to scsnt receipt s. fc,wes that proved a drug on the market at 13.76 yesterday, sold at 14. Indicating a quotable top of 14.25. This comparison is not a fair one, however, as inuulry for ewes yesterday was decidedly slack with prices more or less erratic. Wethers mid aa high as 34.26 and strictly choice handy grades were wanted around 14.40. Oood Iambs were not very plentiful, but the few sales that were made In this branch of the trade held firm, quality considered. nonie Inquiry was made for toppy kinds at I5.9O04S.OO. and the high limit may safely be placed at the latter figure. Volume or feeder business has been very small lately. aa neither the demand nor the supply has been large enough to put the market on a working basis. For the week total receipts are moderate, bulk of the run consisting of fed western stock. Demand from packers has been rather uncertain, viewing the week as a whole, but little permanent change In val ues has resulted. Present prices ate Just about steady with those of a week ago.
