th!hrio,.,JutH?.a Jln ,he whJt market at
the close yesterday was a weak one In
Th.wc.e.i?f fractlona 'or the day.
II.? tweakn"s may be attributed to the
whv ,n o Mattered short. Interests!
, w-h.Letit..tofi mar.ket In Position where
there is little buying power to speak of
fiT prsont' TTie Principal longs in
the May future continued to pour out as
much wheat aa the trade cared to absorb,
and In addition to this selling at Chicago
the May option was sold freely at Mln
neapo Is by there same people. The fact
was clearly demonstrated yesterday that
an export demand of any Importance
would prove a great help to tho bull side
of the market. BuHh In wheat were quite
busily engaged In circulating rumors of
doubtful character, which told of a big
taking of cash wheat for export at
Omaha, and ono or two other points.
Though thero was no business tran
sacted hero on foreign account yesterday
and bids were somewhat out of line, with
no trade possible under present condi
tions. James Carruthers. the Canadian
exporter, reported a better demand for
Manitoba wheat yesterday with some
bids Sc higher. Mr. Carruthers, who has
been on the bear side of the market for
a long time, expressed the belief that
wheat Is worth the present price. The
present cold snap haa found the wheat
plant well covered with snow In most
sections and this la forcing a great deal
of old grain off the farms, as primary
receipts were 594,000 bushels compared
with 332,000 a year ago. Advices received
from many points In the spring wheat
country say aa long aa It Is possible for
fanners to haul wheat to the railroad
stations they will DUt In all their time
disposing of their surplus grain and for
two reasons the first one being tha out
look In the southwest, which Is likely to
lower wheat values all around, and the
second one that the assessor Is securing
the amount of wheat now held by each
farmer, as on every bushel of this there
will be a tax collected. Cash wheat was
unchanged to &c higher.
Shorts In corn arc showing uneasiness
because of large charters made In Chi
cago for the outward movement of a
goodly portion of stocks at the -opening
of navigation. The buying by these In
terests caused prices to rally, aa the
offerings were only moderate. A large
Chicago elevator concern continued to
add to Its lino and It was believed In
some quarters that the cotton crowd
bought corn on the weak, spots. The
cash market at Kansas City and St.
Louts was also stronger. Cash corn was
unchanged to c higher.
Usually at this time No. 3 white oats
aro selling In the sample markets and
In Chicago at the price of the May
option to a premium. This year they
are at a discount of lc. In tho last ten
years there have been only two times
when the cash oats were at a discount
under the May option this year and In
190O. In the latter year May was con
gested, Cash oats were unchanged.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Fentnres of the Trndlnsr nml Cloalnsf
Prices on Hoard of Trade.
CHICAGO. March 7. Receipts In such
volume as to look more suitable for Sep
tember than for March halted an advance
toduy In wheat. Prices, though steady
at the close, were c lower to a sixteenth
up. The outcome for corn was the same
as last night to a shade higher and for
oats Unchanged to a rise of He. Pork
wound up 2V4c to 16c dearer, but no
material difference was maintained In
lard or ribs.
Rig reserves of wheat on the farms "-P-rai'cil
to be evident and one authority
estimated the total as high as 163,000,000
bushels. Stocks In millers' hands were
also declared to be larger than a year
ago. News of this character, however,
did not Influence the market until aftet
there had been considerable hardening
of prices becauso of freight room en
gaged for twenty-ono boat loads by way
of the gulf. Assistance for the bulls de
veloped too from reports of an active
milling demand at IJverpool.
Fine prospects for winter wheat seemed
kss of a factor than has recently been
the case. There was a disposition In come
iiuarters to regard the situation in that
respect as having been discounted in full.
Arrivals of wheat at primary points
were 836.C00 bushels against 365,000 busheli,
a year ago; seaboard clearances of wheat
and flour equaled 3H5.000 bushels. Smallei
receipts of corn tended to make that
cereal advance. The market reacted,
though when wheat turned downward,
Paucity of offerings gave oats an appear
ance of strength.
New high prices for hogs lifted provi,
slons and gave pork a fresh top record
for the session, $21.05 a barrel, May de
livery. Lively realizing of profits led
afterward to some setback,

NEW YORK, March 7 -Engagement uf
about $6,000,000 gold for export expressed
In concrete terms today the bearing ot
strained monetary conditions abroad upon
this market. The first engagement ot
gold for Germany since the soring of lsvs
was announced. The bulk of the gj'l,
however, goes to France and Argentina,
Berlin was again bidding ',4 per c. nt
In this mnrket todny for sixty and ntnjty
day loans In advance of the April settli
ment. Indications were that the exporu.
lion of gold, vli7ch has amounted to
nearly fSS.COO.OOO this year, would be car
ried further, this country having the
least protected supply of the metal. The
outlook for easy money rates was not
fsvorable, although tho call monev r.uc
here Is still tho lowest of any of th'
world's great financial centers. La. t
week's bank stntement showed that ihc
excess reserve had been 1 educed to a
slender margin, and forecasts or tomor
row's report, based on known movements
of currency. Indicated a further loss of
$3,000,000 or $4,030,000.
The disturbing Influence of monetary
conditions abroad was felt In this mar
ket. as well as on the European vx
changes. The list of stocks which de
clined from I to 2 points embraced most
of the Important Issues. Selling Was not
heavy, but traders were Inclined to tiliu
the short sloe of the market and no -f-fectlve
support was given.
For the first time since lat August a
lUcreaee In stocks of coppet metal n-a
reported, the February figures show nff
ft shrinkage of nearly 900,000 rounds, the
decrease was small and was legarded a.i
making for better conditions In the cop
pci Industry, especial significance be'ng
attached to tho gain of 12,000,000 pounds
In exports.
Standard Oil stocks declined on the
curb, being affected by much tho same
kind of rumors as were circulated yea
terday regarding American Tobacco ana
the attitude of the new attorney general.
Losses ran up to 100 points In one case.
Bonds were heavy, with further declines
in recent flotations. Total sales. Par
value, $1,785,000. United States bonds were

CATTLE Cattle receipts wore light
this morning even for a Krlduy, only COO
head being reported. This makes tho re
ceipts for the flvo days this week 17,85$
head and a falling off of almost 2,000 hoad
os compored with last week, and the
smallest ot any time since four weeks
ago. Still, receipts nre larger than for
the corresponding period a year ago by
1,800 head.
Offerings of beef steers were lighter
this morning and buyers nicked up such
stuff aa looked good to them at prices
not far from steady. Still, the market
wiib slow and dull ns usual nt this late
In tho week, and anything that did not
find favor In the buyers' eyes was
naturally a little lower. Among the offer
ings were cattle good enough to bring
$8.60 and a few yearlings at $8.75.
What has been said about beef steers
would nnnlv couallv well to cows and
heifers, as they sold anywhere from
steady on such stuff an buyors wanted
to a llttlo lower on other kinds. Among
the sales wero very good spaycu lienors
at $7.90. . , .
There were no stock cattle and feeders
of any consequence In sight this morn
ing, but tho feeling was steady on de
sirable kinds, the same as haa been the
case all the week, but castor on the light
kinds, , , , ,

hllKUP Notwithstanding a very conor
ous supply of lambs and sheep for a
Friday there was apparently n good de
mand from most all buyers and tho
market was fairly active at prices steady
to a little easier on lambs and fully
steady" on aged nheep and yearlings. As
on yesterday lambs niRde up a liberal
proportion of the receipts and as tho
bulk of them wrro of gooil quality, the
packers apparently hud a good .outlet for
the majority of the offerings. Trado was
n trifle, slow, however, on tho in-between
grades and If anything such kinds suf
fered n nllght reduotlon in prices. An
much 11s $S.S0 was paid for Mexican lambs
and Homo fed westerns changed hands at
$$.65, The bulk of tha lamb nales was
miidn around $S.nOQ6.70. There wero thir
teen loads of Idaho lambs offered that
went to a feeder buyer at $7.70.
In all there wero only about ten loads
of ewr on nlo, Trado was a llttlo mora
iictlvn than In the enso of lambs and ns
noted abovo Thursday's prices 'Were well
sustained, A halt dozen loads of ewes
wern good enough to bring $6.20.
Today'n receipts wero the largest for a
Friday nlnce tho first week In October
ot lout year and wern equal to th com
bined recclptri at other Missouri river
markets. All told some fifty-seven cars,
or 14,000 head, were reported In, this being
considerably larger than a week ago, two
weeks ago and a year ago.

HOGS The hog market started out In
the leisurely fashion that has been tho
uln of lato Shippers and speculators
bought quite a few loads during the curly
trade at figures that wore mostly 10 cents
higher than yesterday Packers on the
other hand did not seem to be In any
hurry to make their purchases, and their
first offers wero no better than strong to
flvo higher. This tended tp make trade
rather slow during the opening rounds
apd it was well along towards 10 o'clock
before anything of consequence had been
done. About this time, however, bids be
came decidedly stronger, and In tho end
practically everything changed hands at
prices that were nearly 10 cents higher
than Thursday, ti was largely an $8.46
market, with tho bulk at $S.4iy8.60, and
tha top price at $3.65, u flat dime higher
than yesterday. Trade waa more or less
draggy all the way through and it was
along towards midday before the last
hogs were sold. The quality of the of
ferings was very good and was. as a
rule, well up to the high standard that
has featured the trade the last few days
Today's supply was rather generous,
some 160 cars or 10,300 head being reported
n. This Is over 6,000 head larger than
lijst week, and 4,000 larger than two weeks
ago, hut over 3,000 smaller Omit the cor
responding day last year.
