NERVOUS SHARE MARKET imii:s i:cit.LLY t pwaiid after TUE ITHST PKW .MI.MTES. 3Iany Ilrlef HenctlonH Hue to Taking of Profit L'jiMettled Tone Marks the Local Trudlng. At New York yesterday money on call was firmer at 23 per cent.; last loan, per cent. Prime mercantile paper, SUU Pr cent. Sterling exchange was firm at a decline, with actual business in bankers' bills at KSS'sfJ-f.U for demand and Ji.Si for sixty days; posted rates, J4.S5 and $i.t0; commercial bills, $4.81. Silver certificates were ClVic; bar silver, W.ic; Mexican dollars, 4Dc. Bar silver closed at 27 0-lÜd an ounce in London. The movement of yesterday's stock market was confusing and irregular to the last degree. The dealings were highly professional, and there seemed to be a contest waging between a bull following and a bear following, each side commanding the services of some of the oldest and most skillful professional operators In the street. "While such was the current belief among room traders and the outside speculative contingent, whether the bulls were all really bulls or the bears really desired to see lower prices It would be difficult to say. Hie market opened with the influence of Tuesday night's upward rush still manifest, but the selling to take profits caused a decline to set in almost immediately, which fcrced prices very gently below Tuesday night's level. In Burlington and Northern Pacific the profit-taking was especially heavy, owing to the meager details which accompanied the allegations that an agreement had been reported for the absorption of Burlington by the Hill-Morgan interests In the Northwest. The announcement of an export of gold to France. 1,250,0)0 francs, by to-day's steamer, also had a depressing influence. The announcement gave ground for the usual wrangle among exchange experts as to whether the movement was a special one or a regular exchange operation. The general teeling is that it is the prelude to a regular outward movement of gold. Bankers professed to have no fear that such a movement will affect the money market unfavorably. The feeling of depression was practically overcome uuring the first hour, and during the rest of the day there was a succession of advances of different stocks, each development of new strengt causing but a slight response In the general market ani being Invariably succeeded by a realizing movement which carried prices back all the way from a fraction to 2 points. Practically each hour during the day had its pulsation of this sort. Burlington and Northern Pacific were conspicuous In the recovery, and both made new record prices. The extreme rise in Northern Pacific was 4 points and In Burlington 2i. The belief that the coal miners' strike will be averted affected the coalers, and the Morgan stock3 generally moved in sympathy. In this movement the Eres, the Headings and the Southern Railway stocks all moved strongly upward. The movement in Burllngto'i affected the other grangers by sympathy. Missouri Pacific rose to a new high level on the favorable statement of January net earnings, and the South westerns were generally strong on the belief in the approaching merger, tne Colorado members of the group being conspicuous. The Atchisons were also affected on reports of an early dividend on the common. The resulting gains exceeded 2 points in many cases, and reached as high as 4 points. Among the specialties Sugar, General Electric, Colorado Fuel and the Rubber stocks were conspicuous, Rubber preferred rising The close was irregular on profit-taking. N The bond market was strong and continued active. Total sales at par value were $3.035.000. United States threes advanced U and old fours, registered, 4 per cent, on the last call.

The receipts of cattle were comparatively large with respect to the past few days and the different grades were very well represented, although there were no top export steers. The demand was not really urgent, and with no strong competition between buyers the bidding lacke 1 energy, and in the steer line salesmen in not a few instances were forced to make some concessions in prices. Female cattle, however, sold at fully steady prices, and a ciearanco of all kinds was finally made. Steers weighing 1.2S6 to pounds sold at $5.30, with 1,225 to 1,315-pound kinds at 55C3.10, and 1.0S1 to 1,371-pound cattle at HO r4.$5.

It Is possible, however, that the proportion of common light mixed stock is smaller. The request from Eastern points continues limited oti account of the narrow margin between prices here and there, and with no really urgent competition there was naturally a weakness In the market from the start this morning. The tirst sales, however, of strictly good hogs were at about yesterday's prices. Iater there was evidence of decline, and before the close all kinds were selling fully 5c lower than yesterday.

The quality was hard1 as satisfactory aa the high average represented lart weds, and notwithstanding the attendance of buyers was good and the demand comparatively liberal. It required a little more force to consummate sales, and pome of the less desirable grades were inclined to weakness. The best horses In their chs. however, sold as high 'as they have at any time recently. Extra high going coach hors sold as high as $3o0, but, of course, this was far above the average for a good kind in that class. The best heavy horses sold around $2j0, with good chunks at $leo''!l50, and the more ordinary grades sold from $0"u:. About half the supply changed owners in the forenoon, and at a late hour It looked like a good clearance would be made on a basis of opening prices. Elsewhere. CHICAGO.

MARKET RULED BY CORN

STHi:C.TII OF Tili: COAHSi: GHAIN iihlps all Tin: ci:ki:als. GniiiN Hnnge from n Slinde In OoaU to Tliree-I'lKhtlist In AVIient l'riyIhIohn i:nM , l'ork 11 Little I p. CHICAGO, March 27. A firmer undertone in which routine news played its part, was observable In the grain markets today. Corn, which was the most active, closed Uft3sC higher for May. while wheat closed and oats a shade improved. Provisions were dull and Irregular, closing 2lc higher to a shade lower. Trade in corn was active the greater part of the session, but the volume of business was smaller than has been the average recently. The market, however, showed a resumption of the advancing tendency, which received something of a check yesterday. Profit-taking was still against the price, but the pressure was reduced. On the other hand, there seemed to be less outside interest in the market. High tables, light country offerings, almost Impassable roads, unsettled weather and a reduction In receipts, as well as a drop In the quality of fresh arrivals, were the factors to which the basic strength of the market was due. May opened a shade to Ul'c. higher, at 42U'42V2C, and under liberal realizing sales, which followed a further advance to A2Wj 42c, reacted to 42VcM-;;C. For a time, on this decline, the market ruled dull, but the light primary receipts 425,000 bu, against 1,086,000 last year created sufficient apprehension among shorts to cause a rally to 42c during the afternoon. Longs sold liberally on this advance, but were well met, and the market closed firm. May UsC. higher, at 42c. Local receipts were 132 cars, 11 of contract grade. Activity of short duration at the beginning of the session and again near the end is the best that can be said of the day's wheat trade. 15ut despite this dullness, which at times became stagnation, the market exhibited a firm undertone. Selling May and replacing it with July formed a considerable part of the day's operations. The firmness early was a result of steady cables, moderate receipts and unsettled weather, together with the corn strength. May opened unchanged to fa'ic higher, at 75,,s'ft75!c to 75c, and declined early, on selling: through brokers to 75!? 751c. The corn strength, renewed alarm over strained relations between Japan and Russia and somewhat alarming Southwestern reports of Hessian fly damage caused a rally near the end. Shorts covered liberally and May rallied sharply to 76c. and, despite prolit-taklng, closed firm, Sc over yesterday, at 75" 76c. Exporters reported 18 loads taken, while seaboard clearances were equal. In wheat and flour, to 522.1 ) bu. Primary receipts were 579,000 bu, compared with 590.000 last year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 306 cars, against 278 last week and 477 a year ago. Local receipts were 75 cars, 2 of contract grade. The market for oats was dull, narrow and unimportant during the forenoon, with the tone easier. Later, In sympathy with wheat and corn, a firmer tone gained a foothold, and with it the dullness took flight. May sold between 24"ic and 25Hc, and closed a shade nigher, at 25Q25VhC. Receipts were 115 cars. Provisions were dull and irregular. The tone early was easier on a drop In prices at the yards and the arrival of a greater number of hogs than had been expected, but prices hardened later. In sympathy with the leading grain markets.
