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 OH - AND PROVISIONS
Fcntnrra of tin- Trading- nnil Cloalnx
Prices on Honrd of Trade.
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.

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.

CATTLE Cattle receipts wore still
light this morning although the run was
more nearly normal than was tho case
yesterday. 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.

HOUS The market opened In fairly
good shape this morning, the first bldt
being made at figures that were strong
to 6 cents higher. 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.

SlIBEP-As a matter of fact offerings
of both sheep and lambs were too limited
again this morning to afford anythtnr
like an adequate test ot values. 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 ! . Vt " " th'refore.
that a legal tight will be made on the In
creased tariff rata f0r full recovery of
vaiues on- injured stock.
