Tne downward course of wheat was unchecked yesterday ami another new level was reached by the May option. A feature In the Chicago market wan that many or those, who were rampant bulls around the dollar level were to be seen ?n thJ? bear s,de ftnd they now talk ing 80c for the May future during the Wo of the option. Thcio was a Brcat leal of news received yesterday that was decidedly bearish In character, and t his news had more or less to do with the absenco of a cash demand, coupled with the continued largo movement from the farms and the country elevators of the United States. An accepted author ity at Kansas City, In a .message to a firm here In Omaha,' Said that receipts of wheat ot Kunsas City between now and July 1 are likely to total 13,000,000 bushels, outside tho Kansas milling re quirements. While those of a year ago showed that wheat holders throughout the greater crop producing sections of land wero letting g6 of 'their grain be cause of the crop promise in the south west, which was never excelled at that season of the year, Ono. largo "trader said: "Everything In tho way of news and conditions seems to be against tho price of wheat, and It wilt take a better class of buying than now lh evidence to keep tho market out of new low levels." An exporting firm said yesterday that their advices from abroad were unfavor able for the wheat holders In tho United States and that In their opinion prices wero likely to sell mucli lower In the absence of a big demand. It has been said all along that with lower prices for wheat, millers of this country, as well as exporters, would enter the market for the cash article on a large scale. Cash wheat was Uc lower. Holders of May corn at Chicago wero more or less encouraged by tho advance In tho cash In the western markets yes terday. The claim was made that this is u forerunner of further and more pronounced price gains later on. Tho bulls expect that with tho advent ot spring work on the farms of the west farmers will give the marketing of grain very little attention. Cash corn was unchanged to-ic higher. Shorts were tho best buyers of oats yesterday because of firmer feeling In corn. There was only a small increaso In the visible supply yesterday. ! Cash oats wero &c higher.

CHICAGO, March 18. Buying of wheat on tho theory that a rally was duo after a long period of depremlon served to advanco prices today. A firm tone was manifest at the cl6se, with prices HHc to above last night's figures. Corn was firm. Uc to iffHc up at the close, oats Uo to tt?o net higher and provi sions ranging from 5c lower to 10c ad vance. The view that a buying rally In wheat nin dun. was aided, by the unexpected firmness of cables. The trade looked' for! n WcaK uvcrpooi marnci, uui uuvices from there told ,of nctlve. buying on In creased continental demand and more in quiry for wheat by millers. Export sales here, In Minneapolis and at Buffalo, in creased bullish sentiment, as did ulro Ught receipts In the northwest. Seaboard .clearances of whrat and flour equalled 327,000' bushels. Primary re ceipts Of wheat were 567,900 bushels, against- 254,000 a year ago. . , Expectation of lighter receipt, because ot tho approach of milder weather, pro moting spring operations on the farms, gave strength to corn.. The trade also had reports that the country had largely stopped sellintr. Oats proved relatively stronger than other grains, the imiln rea son being' influential buying of . data against sales of corn. . ' Light receipts of hogs carried provisions hlgher. Packers, however, presumably for effect at the yards, did considerable selling and largely offset the advance. Leading futures ranged as follows. Article! Open. I Hlgh.l Low. Cloae.l les y.

NEW YORK, March 1$.-Untll tho last half hour of trading today movements of the Important spoculatatlve stocks wero confined to fractions, Hnd mtich of the time the market was nearly at a stand still. The list was under pressure In the closing trading, with selling heaviest In Union Pacific, Reading, Steel and Amalgamated. Net losses on tho day were small In most cases, Union Pacific sold down to 146!, a new low figure. Liquidation of New Haven and some of the specialties continued. New Haven dropped to 1134, a new low price. Among tho Industrials, Rumcly fell 714 and Oood- ncli and Caliromla Petroleum sold at new low figures for the decline. The general list was not affected, however, until the final drive was made. Tho apprbach of the Easter holidays, International money conditions, uncertain ties regarding the Harrlman dissolution proceedings and tariff legislation nil tended' to reduco operations. The late selling may have been Influenced by the assassination of tlio king at Greece and the resignation of the French cabinet. Another bearish factor was tho engage ment of J4.00O.000 mora gold for France, making a total of J23,O0O.O0O to that coun try this year. In sptte ot these additional engagements, the money market here was slightly easier. No decided relaxation tn rates la looked for, however, at this time.

For tho two days the total foots up only 6.685 head, a falling oft of over 6,000 head as compared with the same davs Inst week. The market on beef steers was rather slow nnd dull throughout, largely because of the fact that prices were sharply higher yesterday and packers did not scent over anxious for the cattle at those figures. Still the market was not far rrom steady, In fact was generally quoted as stendy on desirable kinds. Cows and heifers sold moro freelv than beef steers, so that the big bulk of tho receipts changed hands In very fair sea son, ah Kinds or nutcher stock com manded about steady prices. Stockers and feeders were In good de mand and generally steady with yester day, there being little or no change In cltner direction.

Salesmen were, how. ever, Inclined to hold out for a full nickel advance, and while this made the open ing rounds a little draggy, In the end they got nearly all they asked for. Ship pers and speculators tiought freely all tho morning at figures that were fully 6 cents higher than Monday. Packers were apparently equally eager for hogs, but they were a title slower In making up their minds to pay the prices asked. Tha trade as a whole could he quoted as being about 6 cents higher than yes terday's average. On the close the move ment was possibly a Utile slower than at tha best time, but values were about Heady with the earlier ssles. Hulk ot the salrs landed at $8 70118.76 with a StfrlnhlltlB' nt iMd tlffhta a H t,ntrhr nt vi.mi, ami some ptime lights as nigli as 38.86. The qualltv of the offerings was as a rule) very good. Trade w jot-especially active at anv time, but a fair clearance had beea made by 11 o'clock. consioenng tne diancie.l condition ot traffic, a very fair run showed up this morning, some 150 cars or 10.600 head be ing yarded. This brings the total for the two days up to iz.su head, tielng almost 10.000 short ot the same two days last week, and 13.f00 smaller than for the same period i year ago. No. At. Sb. rr, Ne.

The re- celnts showed no material difference from those on Monday, there being no nioro than some 3,000 head received At the yards. As on yesterday, notwith standing the extremely light supply, moil an tiuyers were slow nnd indltrerent bid ders, and In several cases even refused to go and look at some of the offerings, aspet'lally at anything coarse or too heavy. As often Is the case with such a meager supply In sight trade on both sheep and lambs was very uneven, some sales showing a little decline from Mon day's prices, others being fully steady. and still others Having a utile siren inn. To all Intents and purposes the market was generally regarded by both buyers and sellers as being very little If any different from the close ot last week. It was plainly evident that a very weak undertone pervades the whole trade, And If the receipts were anything like nor. mal nothing apparently could prevent h substantial reduction In tha schedule) of prices. Mexican lambs were good enough to bring $8.50, and some less desirable kinds went to the scales at $8.35. Among the sales of matured muttons were a. couple, of cars of fed western ewes that chanwed hands at $8.20 and a bunch of aged weth. era which brought $4.20. A load ot year lings held over from yesterday moved t $0.75.

" ' Groundwork for another fight on tlie stock tariff was laid yesterday when the railroads served notice on the' shtppe;' at the Union stock yards that they would Increase the freight rates for th trans portation of stock and cattle updn which the shippers expected reimbursement based on the real valuo of the stock that should die or be Injured In transit Heretofore the roads have jiarf, a fixed rate of .remuneration for tff shipper whose stock of cattle was killed or In jured while In transit. The rale ot re muneration was not based upqrf the real valuation of the animal. . butf upon the valuation fixed arbitrarily, Ur Is said. This In effect meant' triat the shipper was compelled to pay a fixed tariff rate to the roads for-thn transportation and earn of his Mock. Jt meant also that If through tho fault of the railroad the said cattls or stock 'died or were Injured the road made a return to the owner far be low the real value of the dead animals. This meant a loss to the shipper. A number of conferences have been held at the t'nlon stock yards recently between the shippers. Secretary Traffic Manager F. A. Stryker. freight agents Mr tha railroads and representatives of thu Western Weighing association. Saturday after a long session It was decided to adopt a rule whereby the shipper must sign a contract electing to recover tin full value of his stock killed or Injured during the trip or the value based on the present freight tariff. Jf..he Pi.r.tBent ,relBnt Ur'ff ' accepted by the shipper It means that the value recovered for loss of stock In transit s accord ng to the old arbitrary scale, jf the fall valuation of hi. shipment, he will have to pay a higher freight rate, accord- nat ! .
