CHlCAdO. March 2r After beinn up and
then down the wheat market today closed
steady at middle figures, the same as last
iilKht. to c below. Varying news about
ttio weather bud a good deal to do with
the action of prices. Corn finished un
thaiiKed to c off. oats not altered at all
and provisions running from lOfuVfcC decline
to 2'0 advance. Evening up on the part
of shorts forfned the Influence which
linally steadied wheat. There was no con
tinuance of yesterday's Improved demand
lor the cash trraln. Flour trade also was
poor. Absence of rain both northwest and
southwest had a bullish effect early, how
ever, speculators showing a nervous feel
ing as a possible renewal of fear concern
ing drouth. An equally sensitive response,
though followed announcement of a bearish
forecast that the weather would become
generally unsettled and that rain mlpht bo
expected In 'n spring wheat territory.
HlKh and low limits for May were '8SV4
twc and WtV4c. with the closing at 8sS,o.
Jireclsely the figure current twenty-four
lours before.
Corn dropped In consecpience of liberal
receipts and on account of slow cash de
mand. May ransed between 47Hc and 47?c,
finishl steady at 47!(u47-v4C, a net loss of
c. No. 2 yellow corn closed at 4ti'Vii 17c.
Huylng for shorts led to a lute rullv In
eats. May fluctuated from JteViC to IMiC
and when business came to an end was
at'S.'ii::il4c. no different from last night. "

NEW YORK, Mare 23.-gpfcial Tele
gram.! While the stock market and trade
In general was not as active during the
week as the season of the year Would
demand for an active year in business,
there nre many factors that conspire to
make the future very bright. Among these
might be mentioned low interest rstes;
eight months trade balance of $tllnnt.ti;
low supplies -of merchandise; liquidated
condition of the stock market; more satis
factory condition of labor; large reserves
of farm products, and favorable crop
promises.
The Jobbing and wholesale trade has
been good and the retail trade has been
more of a prosperous season.
In a general way It mav be said that the
right-of-way must be given to the favor- 1
able elements in the situation because they
represent gradual Improvement in each
Instance over a condition that was very
much the reverse one and two years ago.
A difference In the kind of borrowers
undoubtedly makes an Important differ
ence in the position of stocks; but there
is no WHy of knowing If as large a
proportion of stocks as waa ever carried
on borrowed money la not so lodged at
the present time.

market has been definitely dragging along

average of representative prices, the stock
market decline ended lat year Just about
half way between the extreme high and
low points reached fn the various major
swings ot the last ten years. The im
portant bull movements of 1901-1W2 of
nm4-li)ii. and of Isos-IWIH were all made
from Uniting points much the same In
each of the three years, iwio, l;i3 and 1907.
Cutting of prices on cotton goods has
become more general, but these hRve not
led to any great activity and buying con
tinues on the same cautious lines as here
tofore. The fact of the matter is that the
textile Industry, or at least the cotton
branch of It. Is In poor Bhape. This Is re
flected In the action of certain New
England mills In selling thn high priced
cotton, Instead of converting It Into fabrics
at the going prices. Additional evidence
of the unfavorable situation In New
England la found In the fact that cor
porations there have begun to pass or
reduce dividends, after a continued policy
of sustaining them during the last previous
depression.
Retail Trade Improves.
The retail trade of the country shows
some Improvement In particular section and
special lines, but climatic conditions
have
been against anything like the customary
conditions at this season. Complaints about
the condition of winter wheat In some
portions of Kansas and Oklahoma have
It-en heard, and ry conditions in the north
west were regarded with some apprehen
sion until rain finally fell.
he crop situation In Texas was fine and
In the southern Atlantic states the outlook
for a big planting of crops generally Is
highly favorable, all of which is helping
sttiUment and trade conditions In the
south.
The most Interesting thing about today's
session of the stock market was Its un
relieved dullness. During the first hours
of trading but 6H.50O shares were traded in.
Of this total about 36.000 changed hands
during the first hour. This comes close to
the new record In the panic year of 1907.
when on Saturday. June 22. only 55.H00
shares were traded In. With this one ex
ception no Saturday half day has been as
ciuii since iw:t.
Prices Close Little Loner.
Price changes were Inconsequential. Rrok-
ers who some time net for Important bank
ing interests those who are commonly
rrfdited with having maintained the mar
ket's stability since the turn of the year
were supplied with sufficient buying orders,
an bear operations effected nothing ma
terial. At the close prices were fractionally
lower. The actual surplus of the clear
ing house banks decreased $1,354,000 to
$30,S2O.O0O, but this Is well above the sur
pluses for the corresponding week In re
cent years.
Deposits contlnueto expand In greater
volume than loans and the excess of de
posits over loans is close on to $40,000,000.
The American Railway association com
mission on relations between railroads to
day reports an Increase In the number of
idle cars In the country. The total for
today's report Is 2nX,627. an Increase over
the last report of 15.854 cars. This Increase
Is principally In the east and south, the.
western and northwestern and Pacific ter
ritory showing little change. The surplus
Is over four times as great as that reported
at the corrvsionding date in 1910.

CATTLE There were no cattle of any
consequence on sale todav and the total
for the week foots up 19.ti.i7 head. This Is
a decrease of about 1,000 head as compared
with lout week and Is the smallest since
three weeks ago. It is also smaller than a
year ago by over 3.000 head.
At the beginning of the week receipts
of beef cattle were large at all points and
the market broke sharply on Monday, be
ing quoted loft 16c lower. During the re
mainder of the week thero was a strong
tendency to prices as receipts became
lighter until at the close good, handy
weight steers are considerably stronger
than they were at the close of last week.
On the other hand heavy cattle are a lit
tle easier, the demand for that kind not
having been so brisk as for the lighter
grades. Still taking the market as a whole
there is at the close of the week compara
tively little change In values from what
they were at the close of last week.
Cows and heifers did not brtak as did
beef steers at the beginning of the week
nor have they shown so much strength
since then. To put It another way the
market on both cows and heifers has been
without any noteworthy change from day
to day, and the market Is now practically
In the same notches as one week ago. The
demand has been good all the week and
the trade In a good healthy condition.
The market on stockers and feeders has
been none too active this week but with
moderate supplies the better grades of
cattle were reasonably active and they
commanded steady prices throughout the
week. The common to med.um grades
have been more or less neglected and have
been hard to move but still prices are not
very different. Country buyers appeared
to be looking foe. the better grades.

HOGS Hog trade settled on much the
eame sliding scale that featured yester
day's market. From high spot to low
Bpot It was a weak to 10c lower affair.
Various loads of selected bacon animals
sold early at figures very nearly steady to
possibly a little lower. Prices gradually
weakened to a 10c decline as the morning
progressed, closing at the full reduction.
As viewed by bulk of sales the general
trade was 54ilOc lower than yesterday's
cost.
Receipts, while limited, had no appreci
able Influence upon the tone to demand.
Inquiry was lacking in life from start to
finish and movement was decidedly quiet.
Ltght offerings, suitable for bacon pur
poses, attracted better competition than
lard grades, of course, and usually marred
with a lesser degree of selling effort.
Spreads were seasonably narrow, but
weight discrimination was possibly a little
more severe than on previous days this
utek. Choice light animals sold as high
as $4150 and ordinary butcher stock moved
around $6.35. Extra heavies dropped to
lb. 10 and less.
Since last week's close the hog market
has held a fairly even keel. From Tuesday
to Thursday, Inclusive, the average cost
was practically unchanged. . Monday's
prices were lower, however, and reaction
on the three days following was only par
tial. Weakness yesterday and today
leaves values at 15c declines as compared
with those of a week ago.

SHEEP Nothing new developed In live
mutton or lamb trade today, as there was
not enough stock on sala to afford any
thing like a test of values. The market,
audi as It was, remained nominally steady
During the week, demand from packers
for all kinds of offerings has been ths
liveliest thus far this year ami prices have
been tha highest. Mutton sheep ars closing
U4-2&C higher than a week ago, this ad
vance applying to ewes and wethers of
handy weight more readily than to animals
with extra long finish. Top vn western
ewes, 104-pound average, waa made yester
day at $4.96. Mexicans, t-pound average,
reached $5.00 on the previous day, this fig
ure being week's high price. Sitraight
strings of wethers were hard to find on
most days. $5.10 buying best 113-pound offer
ings on yesterday, when trade had plenty
of high spots, fihom ewes closed with a
very creditable top of $4.35, but no shorn
wttheis were axuilable.
A small bunch of Mexican yearlings went
at $7,75 yesterday with bulk of ordinary
yearlings around $5.10n6.40 on previous days.
Choice western yearlings of light weight
are quotable at $." 5oi6.uO.
The lamb market Is closing In excellent
condition, some Improvement being due to
vigolous demand for high dressers. Pres
ent values are strong to a dime hUher
than those In force at last Week's close

SAN FTtANCIS(T). March 25. The court
of appeals in caurornia nag rendered a
decision sustaining the right of the Postal
Telegraph Cable company to condemn
right-of-way on the Southern Pacific rail
road and has denied the application of -the
Western Union Telegraph company for a
writ of prohibition against such condemna
tion. This probably will terminate the
litigation which has bee nstrenuously con

three years last psst. The decision Is con
