rillCAlK), March 1R Kxcept for a brief
dip during Initial trades wheat today ruled
strong. The reason luy chiefly In peaslmlnti:
crop reports from weaiern Kanmis by a
Chicago expert, who yesterday wont for
ward plowing dlapatches regarding the
east half of the atate. Closing prices were
Vo-Vj hiKher than.laat nlKht. In corn
there was a net Rain of Vuc to He, oata
were unchanged to c up, and provisions
down 6'u7Vc to 20c.
Attention to the telegrams concerning
the western part of Kanxas developed
acutely when It was noticed that the ex
pert's employers here were purchasing on
a large scale to cover short wheat. This
decided many other aborts to reduce their
commitments, and not hold the trades
open over Sunday. The weak start was on
favoring ralnx In a good portion of the
winter crop belt, and because of disap
pointing cablca. Besides receipts at the
primary centers were more liberal than
for the preceding seven days and there
was no trace left of the alleged Improve
ment la the demand for cash wheat. Such
factors, however, were lost sight of In
a hurry after Kansas took the center of
tho stage. Steadiness prevailed at the
close, which was almoat the top level
leached. May touched as high and low
limits, 91V: und 90V--, with lat sules Ho
up at 91'c.
Corn had special support from leading
longa and their followers. For the May
delivery, 'prices ranged between 4!' S and
4:i'n l!)7c, with closing figures at 4'JV
4:iV a gain of ViUfHc net. Cash corn was
steady. No. 2 yellow finiahed at 47Vn4Nc.
Oata displuyed a tendency to imitate
corn, but commission offerings wero free
on every bulgu. May ranged from 31V
' 31'V- to 31 V.- and In the end were a shade
up at Sl-VtiSiVsc.
Provisions weakened In view of a heavy
run of hogs. 'When the pit was closed pork
had sagged 17Vu20c, and lard and ribs
Isuweun a nickel und a dime.

NF.W YORK, March IR.-iSpecial Tele
i am.i Sla kenlng to a slight extent In the
strength of business developed during the
months of January and February was a
dlMippoltitlng feature during the week.
The course of trading was marked by a
conservatism that was not manifested in
the optimistic tendency during the early
weeks of the year. F.ven In the west, w here
optimism has frequently prevailed when
pessimism dominated the situation In the
east, trade rea'tlon Is plainly apparent.
This Is i leal ly show n In the piling up of
hank deposits to record figures, with the
financial Institutions of Chicago, the stead
ily Increasing number of Idle cars and the
decrease In hank clenrlngs. which this week
was nearly 16 per cent below those of last
jenr.
The monetary condition of the country
constitutes an excellent barometer for the
business status of the country. Just one
mr ago call loans renewed on the stock
exchange at 3 per tent; yesterday they re
newed at 2V iht cent. At this time In 110
time money loaned at 4 per cent for sixty
days. 4' per cent for ninety days and 4Vi
to 4'i per cent for six months; yesterday
these various maturities loaned at 2V4. -
and 3 per cent, respectively. These fig
ures represent III a striking manner the
great decline in Interest rates from 1010.
In this week of that year stocks were rul
ing anywhere from five to twenty points
above current quotations, and, daily tran
saction.'i were fully three times rreater than
at present.
During the year 1!1I0 business was active
In both the west and south.
flanka Expand I.onns.
The national banks In this city have ex
panded loans In two months by $1flo,ono,oio
and Chicago. Boston. St. Ixiuls, Pittsburg
ami Cincinnati added make the total ex
pansion for six cities alone $1 53.no0,0in.
It was stated last week that the steel In
dustry made the best exhibit of any branch
of trade. This Is true of the current one.
rilthuunh new orders thus far In March are
alout 10 per cent below those of the corre,
spondlng period In February. Still, the
steel mills are working on a larger per
(village- than tor months past, and some
Important rail orders are expected to be
booked In the near future. Further curtail
ment by the cotton mills, both north anil
south, took place this week, and its In
fluence was felt In the dry goods market
where business was on a conservative
"oasis. The cold weather of the week Inter
fered with the retail distribution of spring
ann summer rabrlcs throughout the east
and west. The shoe trade maintains its
previous improvement.
The local stock speculation requires very
little comment. The market received with
calmness tho decision of the supreme court
sustaining the constitutionality of the cor-
poration tax law and ' moved to a higher
level, with a temporary Increase in activity.
The cheapness of money and a large short
Interest were the moving factors In the
rise. Finally the market turned reactlonally
and drifted back to a rut of dullness, with
some apprehension that the supreme court
decisions might 'be handed down on Mon
day. Karly Losses Wiped Oat.
With a decidedly stronger tone the stock
market recovered admirably toward the
close today. 'A mixture of short covering
and buying orders operated to wipe out
practically all of the early losses and In
many Issues material gains were scored.
I'nlon Pacific, I'nited States Steel and
New York Central ail made gains of a
point or more, and Missouri Pacific, which
had been the distinctly weak issue of the
day, completely recovered. Substantial
gains were also made In National Biscuit,
American Agricultural Chemical. Ameri
can wool and the local traction stocks.
American woolen common advanced
sharply on today's vote of the directors
of the company to reduce the outstanding
capitalization by $10.m)0,000.
According to reports from Boston all
the stock to be retired has already been
acquired by the company, so that none of
the common stockholders will be called
upon to part with their holdings.
The actual week-end bank statement
showed a slightly stronger position. Cash
Increased $2,100,000, and since loans and de
posits expanded very little, surplus re
serves are left $1,300,000 larger. They ex
ceed the surplus at this date In all of the
dozen past years, except 1908. The state
ment by daily averages Is less favorable;
It shows larger loan expansion than the

compared .with last week's close. Some

Stockers and feeders have been in fair
demand, although the volume okbusiness
doing has not been very large. The so

HOGS Packers claimed an Innning in
the hog yards this morning, the market
ruling right around luc lower under pres
sure of combined bearish effort. Some
business was done early at figures no
worse than ltsijlot: lower, but values grad
ually weakened from these declines until
the late trade averged a flat 2uc lower
than bulk of sales yesterday. Buyers for
packing concerns were largely responsible
for a clearance, as the shipping and specu
lative demand was practically dead, the
sharp slump In general trade today Is
credited to heavy supplies at all the lead
ing slaughter points, South omana in
cluded. Long strings went at a narrow spread
of $6.50Xr(i.55, a large portion of butcher
weight offerings moving at these figures.
Heavies dropped to $6.46 and less, and best
bacon animals made a top of $6.65, as com
pared with yesterday's high price of $6.80.
t'ntil today, the trade this week has
acted very creditably under very heavy
receipts. Right around 71.000 head of ani
mals arrived in all, a supply that Is larger
by far than any weekly total since the
second week of March, 1900. About 74,000
head were credited to the six days ending
March 13. two years ago. This , week s
run. however, includes a dally record that
is even older. Tuesday's supply of 18.ti-.ti
iiead was tiie heaviest recorded on any
single day since May 22. 19u8, when over
19,tjo head were received.
Each day's clearance this week has been
reasonably early and practically complete,
the market changing slightly from time
to time. Today's severe break leavea
prices about l&aJOc lower than they were
a week ago.

What will the stock exchange governors
do now that New York City has thrown
down the gauntlet to them by awarding
the contract for engraving the new munici
pal bonds to a concern which has been
for years tubooed by the exchange? It
seems scarcely credible that the governors
will persist in their refusal to list these
bonus. No Incident has of late excited
more gossip as to what goes on under cover
In the financial district. Every one Is '
wondering .lust how the large profits made
by the American Bank Note company are
allocated. Who are the largest stockhold
ers? Are any of them represented on the
management of the New York Stock ex-
hange? The champions of the exchange
ontend that unconscionable confusion
would arise should every printing and en
graving establishment In the I'nited States
be permitted to turn out certificates ad
lib, and that the exchuiige Is merely act
ing In the ber.t interest of everyone con
cerned when it exercises the strictest super
vision over the securities prof feted for
listing.
No Cause for I'eaalnilsui.
One of the foremost financiers in Amer
ica, In course of conversation recently,
made the following statement, which la
likely to cause comment s'ince It Is so very
different from the pessimistic utterances
now prevalent:
No one of responsibility cares to make
predictions, and I am glad I am not called
upon to do so. If 1 were to express my
views, however, they would not be peslmls-
tlc. The greutest single factor In the whole,
situation Is the coming harvest, if and
this Is a big If nt, this stage If nature
does her duty satisfactorily, and If nothing
calamitous now entirely unfnrteen occurs
in anypart of the world. I think we should
have a boom, or perhaps I should rather
call It a boomlet, before the close of ths
year. Conditions are tending In that direc
tion. An adverse decision in the supreme
court cases would be extremely awkward,
but would not permanently affect economlo
conditions. 1 am not at all worried over
the extra session of congress. The Union
Pacific merger ruling, which may come at
any time, will lie appealed no matter which
way It goes. The railroad freight decisions
have not caused me to modify my atti
tude towards the future. 1 do not car
to venture an opinion as to how securities
may fluctuate during the next month or
two. but looking farther ahead, say four
or five months. 1 feel that trade will be
come very active and that security values
will Improve.
