At New York yesterday money on call was steady at 2tfiZ per cent. Irlmf mercantile paper, 34 per cent. Sterling1 exchange was firm, with actual business In bankers bills at ll.ST&gl.SS for demand and $!.S4a'g4.S4:; for sixty days; posted rates, $4.S5 and $4.89; commercial bills, U.WUMlb. Silver ; certificates were 61HöC3c; bar silver, COc; Mexican dollars, '4c. Bar silver closed at 2Sd an ounce in London. The heavy selling by speculators to realize, which carried the whole market down Wednesday, was checked yesterday and there were general recoveries and a showing of net gains for the day in a majority of cases. There was continued pressure on the market at the opening, and it was emphasized by the depression in the London market on account of uneasiness over the Tien-Tsin afTalrs and fears of harder money there. But there was renewed buying of some stocks of such proportions and conducted with such confidence as to discourage the selling, and the subsequent rally was helped by the demand from quite an extended short interest left uncovered after Wednesday's operations for the decline. The speculative leaders were very active in their efforts to cause a resumption of the strong bull market which has recently prevailed. They were only partly successful, though they had the assistance of a report that the AngloRussian difficulty had been settled. A number of stocks were fairly buoyant during the day and others were markedly strong, but tho advances were not all well held and there were frequent reactions after the recovery had set in. The Erles were the conspicuous feature of the later market and rose 2 to 7 points, the latter the second preferred, on enormous buying. Recently current reports of early dividend action were all revived. The Wabash securities were in good demand, tht preferred rising l?i over Wednesday night. The movement in the Knes helped all the coalers. Sugar shot up ZVz points and Pecple's Gas and Tobacco had their periods of strength. The International Paper stocks were very strong, rising 2Viv!j4Vi for the common and preferred. National Salt gained 4Vt and the preferred 7. There was quite a long lidt of minor railroad stocks which moved up from 1 to 4r8, including Chicago Great Western vand the preferred A, the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville stocks, the Iowa Central stocks, the Minneapolis & St. Louis Stocka, Lake Erie & Western, Peoria & Kastern and the New York, Chicago & St. Louis stocks. North American advanced 61i- Amalgamated Copper was strong on the regular dividend declaration. The steel stocks were decidedly quiet and moved narrowly, but recovered to some extent from early heaviness. Notwithstanding this quite Impre.lve showing of strength there was no renewal of the universal upward movement which affected the whole market at times during the last few days. That there Is some latent uneasiness over the money outlook is shown by the eager discussion of the possibility that the secretary of the treasury will redeem government bonds. ' 1 The railroad bond market continues very active, many new issues coming Into prominence. The price movement was Irregular. Total sales at par value were $9.l55,0u. United States refunding twos advanced J,8 and the old fours declined H per cent, on the last call. Following are the day's share sales and the closing bid prices: Closing Stocks.

Trad Improving, bnt Still DUaiM'ointIng: in Some Linen. ' I Some of the wholesale merchants, while not complaining', speak of their business as hardly up to expectations, but the last few days has shown some improvement. That Is the case with the dry goods houses, the leather v dealers, hat and cap houses and milliners', all of which will be rushed when the sun appears and the temperature becomes more seasonable. Druggists, grocers, hardware and Iron merchants all report their trade active and prices Arm, but goods are selling close. The provisions market Is quite active, with prices steady. Eggs are weak at price quoted, but are In good demand. Receipt are large, but receipts of poultry are hardly up to to the usual average of March in paK years. Choice butter, as well, meets with ready sale at the best quotations. Stocks carried on Commission row of fruits and vegetables are large and prices are becoming somewhat unycttled, unless it be on really choice stock. Seed merchants are very busy, with prices lirm at quotations. Tne local grain market is still dull on light receipts. Corn la in active request and firm at the present hisch range of prices. Muddy roads and the car shortage are said to be the reason for existing conditions. Track bids, as reported by the secretary of the Board of 'Trade, ruled as follows: Wheat No. 2 red, 76',ic; No. 2 red, on milling freight, 7Cc; No. 3 red, 721i374'2c; wagon wheat, 77c.

Horm Very Active at Decidedly Higher Figures 3hecp 1 1 lshcr Condition of Markets Elsewhere, UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS, March 21. Cattle Receipts, TOO; shipments, 2.7). The receipts of cattle were comparatively large for a Thursday market, but there was a good attendance of buyers, In fact, more than usual at this time In the week, and It was evident from the start that orders were plentiful. Consequently, salesmen were asking higher prices, but It soon developed that buyers were not in a position to pay any advance. Soon, however, at strong prices, compared with yesterday's average for,' all kinds, the trading was active and It did not take long to exhaust the supply. Better quality was represented in some Instances, but there was about the usual proportion of. ordinary stock. Sales included 1,450-pound steers at $3.40, and quite a number of loads averaging 1,300 to 1,350 pounds sold at $3.2056.25. Several loads averaging 1,250 pounds sold at $4.90, with 950 to 1,000-pound kinds at $4.154.35, and stockers and feeders at $.173 CT4.35.

The marketing of hogs shows a good increase over last week and some improvement over the corresponding time a year ago. There is a corresponding improvement In the demand, .however, and with very strong competition from all buyers the movement In prices continues upward and a very healthy condition exists. The Inquiry was especially good from shippers to-day, and with all other buyers In the Held there was an uneven advance in values over yesterday. The market seemed to gain some strength toward the close, and some of the last arrivals brought the highest prices of the day. Sales generally were considered fully 10c higher, and the extreme price was 12V2C above yesterday. Tho range for ordinary light to choice medium hogs was from $5.90 to $i.07Vz, and a very large proportion of the supply cold above $3.ü7.

There was a very limited supply of sheep and lambs, and most of the offerings consisted of a lot of extra good sheep that average 121 lbs, and sold to a local killer, at $4.00. This Is much higher than any price obtained heretofore this season, but the quality was extraordinary, and it was hard to tell just how much improvement there was in the market. It is safe to say, however, that a very much larger number of sheep and lambs could be sold here at entirely satisfactory prices to the owner. The demand continues good, and in the past week there has not been enough stock to meet the requirements of the trade.

PORK BREAKS HEAVILY

PARTIAL HECOVEIIY AFTER A LOSS Or MXETV CENTS FOR SI AY. Rib and Lard Sinke Small Gain Ul Grain Are Wenker, Closing at l'ractlonal Declines. CHICAGO, March 21. A break of M cents in May pork was the feature on 'Change to-day. This commodity closed 5Tc lower, while lard closed a shade and ribs 51j72 higher. Yesterday's serious war talk waa unconfirmed, and this had a depressing effect on wheat, which closed at a decline of c. Corn closed 8c and oats ic lower. The, provisions market opened strong on light hog receipts and hrgher prices at the stockyards. May pork 15t20c higher at $17.05 17.10. Selling by brokers, said to be acting for Armour, who is popularly believed to be In a position to control the market, started realizing by other longs, and May broke on an excited market to $16.20. The market raused for 10c and 15c recoveries on the way down, but those ralliers were mere Incidents. Meanwhile Armour was an open buyer of ribs, his purchases being approximated at 2,000,000 lbs. This, together with the readiness of the market to absorb pork at the decline, caused a gradual reduction in May pork to $16.45. The close was 55c under yesterday at $16.35. May lard sold between $7.S5 and $7.05, and closed a shade up at $7.87, while May ribs fluctuated between $7.70 and $7.&0 with the close Tc higher at $7.77. Wheat was only moderately active. At the opening yesterday's rumor of a clash between the Russians and the English at Tien-Tsin remained unconfirmed. Liverpool cables were in line with the supposition that the report was either unfounded cr exaggerated. Northwest receipts were liberal and in addition to this bearish array of facts the Price Current estimated the wheat in farmers' hands at 46.000,0u0 bu more than the government approximation, and the warehouse stocks at 47.0o0.000 bu more than appears at the points of which the visible supply statement takes cognizance. May opened 5c lower, at TöfiTöric. This was followed by a dip to 761i'(i76c and a further recovery to 76ic. Liberal primary receipts, small seaboard clearances and a report that the trouble between Russia and England had been settled amicably induced further selling, and May dropped to 768c, closing at 7ti,,76:kc. Seaboard clearances in wheat and Hour were equal to 1S3.000 bu. Primary receipts aggregated C37.000 bu, compared with 679.000 last year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 3.7 cars, against 256 last week and 70S a year ago. Local receipts were 112 cars, none of contract grade. Corn was moderately active, while the undertone of the market seemed easy. May made a small gain early with the pork strength, and broke later in sympathy with the latter commodity. Moderate buying by commission houses at the decline caused a slight recovery toward the end of the session. May sold between 41c and 4iyc, and closed c lower at 41Uc Receipts were 27D cars, 54 of contract grade. Oats were dull, fluctuating In sympathy with corn. May sold between 25VsC ana 2434ii 24c, and closed ,7c lower at 21"8c. Receipts were 182 cars. Estimated receipts to-morrow: Wheat, 70 cars; corn, 235 cars; oats, 170 cars; hogs, 22,000 head.

Dun's Review, on March 23, will say of the condition of the winter wheat crop: "Reports from the branches and a large number of correspondents in the winter wheat belt show the condition of th growing Rrain generally favorable. In Ohio. Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois the acreage la reduced, owing to partial failure last year, and the mild winter in some sections hat been unfavorable. Fears are expressed la some quarters that the ravages of tha Jlessian 11 y will be serious, especially if th present dry weather continues. In scattered sections of Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee the. grain was winter-killed and farmers are plowing It under. Dry weather during' th fall months did much damage In Kentucky, and in Tennessee the changeable weather of the early winter and lack of rain caused considerable Injury. Iu Illinois the wet weather Is helping grain. and It Is hoped that a continuation will enable it to outgrow the fly. In Michigan the r.creage is less than last year, but the grain wintered well and the damage by the fly will not materially reduce the croy. The best reports are coming from the Southwest." - REVOLT OF BROKERS. Deaertlni; the Chlrago Doard for th.9 Blllvrnnkee Chamber. CHICAGO. March 21. In an effort to break from restrictions to the working rules cf the Chicago Board of Trade, which they claim are irksome and unjust, nearly every prominent local Board of Trade firm has joined the Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce. The buying of Milwaukee memberships by Chicago brokers began yesterday and was continued to-day, and the price of membership tickets on the Cream Cltjr Exchange advanced from 178 to $150. It is believed that arrangements 111 be made whereby Chicago receipts can be delivered on Milwaukee contracts, and as an added inducement "puts and call" are not barred In the Wisconsin metropolis. A move to prohibit Chicago warehousemen from mixing grain and from otherwise "doctor in g" it to improve the grade and a proposition lo prohibit them from carrying their grain in their own elevators met opposition in many prominent traders. The fight with the telegraph companies over quotations and many other matters have combined to arouse elissatlsfactlon among brokers. The members who have transferred part of their interests to Milwaukee assert in common "that the Hoard of Trade is trying to legislate itself out of existence." VITAL STATISTICS MARCH 21. Dlrtha.
