Market Wnn Professional and Highly Specula tl ve .Monetary Con II tlona Local Trndc Situation. At New York Saturday money on call uas nominally 2 per cent. Prime mercantile paper. 2VaK per cent. Sterling exchange was nominal, with actual business In bankers bills at Si.SSU'O-' 4 KSU for demand, and $I.S4?i for sixty days; posted rates. Jl.fcjU and 51.SJ; commercial tills. Si-S Iff 4.81. Bar silver was 3Dc; silver certificates, UuClc; Mexican dollars, 43c. Silver bars closed at ST&d an ounce on the London market. Imports of specie for the week at the port of New York were JUG.OOS In gold and $07.743 In silver. Exports of cold and silver from the port to all countries for the week aggregate $706,220 In silver bars and coin end $3S3,500 in gold. Imports of dry goods end merchandise to the port of New York Xor the week were valued at $13,S74,4H. The weekly statement of the associated Kew York banks. Issued Saturday, shows the following changes: Loans, increase $(5,110,800 leposlts. increase 3,S240 Circulation, increase 100.MJ Legal tenders, increase 471, SUt) Bpecie, decrease I,!fl7,u0 Total reserve, decrease 1,445.700 Iteserve required. Increase ;56,22o Surplus reserve, decrease 2,401,923 The banks now hold $7.870..ViO in excess of reserve requirements under the 23 per cent, rule. The Financier, in its Issue of Saturday, rays; "The bank statement for the wetk contains several surprising features, it had been tlgured that the interior had forwarded but little money to this center, and the subtreasy statements showed a Joss by the clearing house institutions cf about four millions. The inference was that the cash reserves of the banks by r-ason of the two operations had been reduced several millions, but the weekly exhibit reveals a loss of only $l,443,70u, which, of course, puts a more favorable aspect on the situation. For all that, however, the position of the banks has not teen strengthened, since the expansion of fo.HO.M in loans brought about a corresponding rise in deposits, necessitating xrore reserve, and th effect is Fhown ta a decrease of S2.401.H23, which brings the present excess to JT.STO.frOO, the lowest average reported since Dec. 15 of last ye nr. Ihe expansion of KHö.ie in loans can be traced to changes in one or two larsc; banks, and represents special transactions. As a matter of fact the leading items were all inlluences in this way. so, aside from a few institutions, the portion cr individual Institutions dots not vary much from ih- preceding week. The statement, on Its face, forecasts a firmer condition in the money market, but to what extent of it I difficult to determine. The export of a small amount of gold on a special ordering during the week has rtven rise to many conjectures of an impenilns movement, but It is to he said that normal conditions do not warrant this belief." WALL STUKKT RKV1KW. There was a feverish tone in the stock market throughout Saturday's two hours' ECSidon and violent manipulation was In evidence from time to tirru to check a reactionary tendency. Heavy realizing was manifest hi the opening dealings, especially in I.uriir.gton, Northern Pacific and the United Slates steel stocks.- These stocks maintained their recent prominence In the trading, so that their downward course had a correspondingly large effect on the general market, liurllngton was bid up to lVi over Friday nlxht, about midway of thv session, touching a lecord price at 17C'-7. but it qukkly fell back under the hood of reaiiiiiiif offerings, and closed with only a fractional net gain. There was a Violent rise at the tame time in the local traction stocks. Lake Erle Western and lenr.csee Coal. Realizing had already affected these advances before the appearance of th bank statement. The bears told in the large inroads made on the surplus reserve and caused decllr.es, running to a point in seme case. Supporting orders were met and the rally was made eftective by a sudden and violent rise In ltoek Island to an advance over Friday Mght of or points. Atchison was marked Up 1; ul the same tim.-. A revival of old rumors of a combination between the two systems accompanied the advance. Rock Island fell back sharply on realizing, and the closlr,? of the market was feverish and irregular with profit taking in force at fcorne pUnls in the lust The United States flteel Muck did not fluctuate more than a Jtactlon, but the dealings In them wore very large. There were wide advances in a number of high grade and usually inactive ttocKS. including Leka wanna. Morris Küsex. Fullman and Colorado Fuel, preferred, running from 3l to li points, the latter In the last named stock. Another eventful week has passed in the ttocl: market with a very unk.nted and varied speculation in full swing. The dally average of transactions ha run well over a BiilUoa share stgcK. and over 5,Ouo,Qvu

in par value of bonds There nas been a constant digestion of speculative protits or a verv l;ircc Kea'e. and this has 01:i touraged the bear party to go short of th-i market occasionally in the commence mat the culminMion of the rise had been reached and that they would have good opportunity to cover short contracts lattr on In the expected period of active specI tilntlve liquidation, but the continued large uemand for stocks ana me recurrence or rumors regarding" plans for the betterment or individual properties have as often oriven the bears to cover. The admission tor trading In the unlisted department ef the exchange of the United States Steel stock when issued, proved an excitement to the gpneral speculation. The pricca to which these stocks had risen !n tho narrow trading on the cuib offered handpome profits on the stocks of the constituent company '.vhich were exchanged, compared with the prices of those stocks bofore the merger. There was an apprehension that with the greater facilities for trading "in the new stocks as to force them downward very promptly that these stocks were not to be left without support. There was organized and skillful sunnort j from the outset and the realizing was largely adorned ana prices advanced. This pave renewed confidence to the whole speculation and the trading in the steel stockj formed an Important element in the market during the latter part of the week. The belief that plans were working out for a general combination of Southwestern railroads made another center . of speculative activity. Missouri Pacific continued the leading figure in this movement, and the Colorado roads were very conspicuous and strong. LARGELY PROFESSIONAL. The market was highly professional and speculative during the whole week, as shown by the volume of transactions in individual stocks, which were sufficient to have affected a change of control in many stocks, had they represented any proportion of actual transfers. The good reports J of business in most lines, all through the country, and the continued high level of railroad earnings, formed an effective underlying support for the whole speculation. The only threatening prospect was in the money market. Great contidence was professed by high authorities that there was no danger of stringency, but the continued discussion of the possibilities of replenishment in case of need indicated some disquiet. These discussions have not developed promising prospects. Suggestions that the secretary of the treasury might afford relief by a purchase of government bonds have been met by the objection that the available issues are held unreasonably high. Nor has any official countenance been accorded to the suggestion that the government interest, due on May 1, might be paid In advance. Rut the drain oh the money market of the subtreasury operations continues large. The export of a small amount of gold, this week, in the coin of the country to which it went, was not in itself of large importance, but it is the general feeling that it is the prelude of a general outward movement of the metal. The rising tendency in foreign money markets and the known future needs of those markets point to such a result. Of course, the scarcity of exchange bills in New York is artificial, as the exports of merchandise continue very large, but the commercial bills of exchange are withheld from the New York market and sent forward to the credit of the holders who are placing loans in foreign markets. It Is ejuite likely that an advance in the exchange rate to the gold export point will bring additional offerings of these bills upon the market, but a further advance in foreign Interest rates would secure gold If the foreign markets needed it, unless domestic interest rates should show a greater profit at home. It is a well known result of the operations of natural forces that an extensive enlargement of the circulating medium, such as has occurred in the United States during the past year, and the resulting low interest rates, attract such a large demand for credits as to result in a rebound of interest rates. The enormous financial transactions of the past few months have been the direct outgrowth of the early perception by far-seeing capitalists of the increased credit facilities which would result in the growth of the circulation. The great industrial and business activity, the tremendous new enterprises embarked in and the resort to our money maiket, in increasing degree, ot foreign governments and otner borrowers, show the operation of the law. The higher prices of securities which resuit Iroin tnls activity afford increased basis for borrowing money. The strength of the bond market has not been so conspicuous and so general this week, but points oi atrength have continued to develop.

The volume ot trade in the month a March fell considerably below expectations in many lines, owlnp chiefly to unfavorable conditions as to temperature and much stormy weather. Despite this, however, in a few lines business was very satisfactory, tho wholesale grocers, the iron and hardware merchants, the drug'gL'ts and the produce men doing more business than usual. On Commission row, during the last two weeks of the month, a good trade was enjoyed. Steady, strong prices, as a rule, through the entire month, helped matters considerably. Especially was this true In produce un 1 provisions. Salos of apples and oranges for March were laige, and the fruit usually choice, which enabled the commission mutuants to realize good prices. It was an off month with the- hide and leather markets, and the dry goods houses Old not do the busin ss they had looked for. In no line. of articles were there any sharp fluctuations during the month. Prices of coffee were weak, but no material decline was noted. The month closed with eggs showing an unusual firmness for the season. Canned goods and dried fruits moved we-U during the latter part of the month. There is a weaker tone in prices of aples. Irish potatoes and. in fact, in all vegetables. The local grain market was the dullest of any March in many years, notwithstanding tho fact that better prices were paid for most cereals than In the corresponding season of any recent year. The month closed with track bids firm at the following range, of prfce, as furnished by the secretary of the Hoard of Trade: Wheat No. 2 red, li'c; No. 2 red, on milling freight, 75'2c; No. 3 red, 7ll2''73,sc; wagen wheat, 75c.

KCfcWc STILL LEAPING UPWARD COJtX JUMPS TlinilK-QUAUTKUS OF A C12.T A.D HOLDS IT. Oats .More Active Than "Vlent, Closing at n (Hood Gnln Provisions Higher and Wheat Declining. CHICAGO, rarch 30. Carried upward by the bullishness of almost the entire West, the corn market to-day continued on its record-breaking career. The volume of business was larger than any previous day this week. May closed '&ic over yefcteiday. Oats were also conspicuously active, May closing with a net advance of Wheat ruled dull, and at the close was V&c lower. Provisions advanced ESI-Oc. Trade in corn for May delivery became active at the tap of the opening gong. Within half an hour it had assumed va3t proportions. Half the wheat pit had inserted it, and many traders were crowded out of bounds at times. George II. Phillips, who stands for the country bullishness in many minds, and, if he has not already control of the market, is at least a potent factor in it. took profits on a scale approaching his operations of yesterday, yet so excited was the trade that he was not more conspicuous thin many others. In the face of his realizing sales and that of certain conservative longs the market fewept upward irresistibly. The usual reports that Phillips and his crowd were selling to their own brokers and still adding to their already large lln-ss were heard on the floor. May opened ViÖsC higher at 44l4c to Uc, and early touched 44c on selling said to have been for Phillips. The buying craze was on, however, and it struck this slight dip in full force. May corn was bought and sold in such quantities and with such rapidity by the whole pit that individual trades were lost to view. The market bounded to 44c in the next half hour, thereby again breaking the price record for the season's trade in May option. The remainder of the session it was give and take between the big demand and offerings from enriched longs. May was forced back to 44, but held strong and closed WR4.c over yesterday at 44V 410. Cables were higher, country acceptances small and the weather decidedly unfavorable to good reads. Primary receipts were 3s3,(Xhj bu, compared with 4S3,0'J0 last year. Local arrivals were 236 cars, 36 of contract grade. In activity and strength the oats market was second only to corn. This market, ordinarily neglected and without even a pit to call its own, made the wheat trade look dismal bv comparison. The hand of Phillips was "at work in the market, his purchases being approximated at 3.C0O.W0 bu. This buying was presumably on the theory that oats at present are cheap compared with corn and that an advance in the latter is bound to be reflected in oats. The recent heavy cash business and reports of diminishing stocks were contributory factors, although to-day's advance cut shipping sales down to about lOO.OnO bu. May opened at 2.7kff2Qc, touched 254c and later rallied to 2''lc, closing ?8c higher at 2ti:Sc. Receipts were 241 cars. The attenuated remnant of traders left in me wheat pit was bearish, and had it not been for the corn strength it is probable the market would have declined more than it did. Trade was light and the range narrow. Miy opened lie to HTi'ic lower at 7018C to 76761;c. and sold early to 76c on heavv Australian shipments and favorable weather. In sympathy with corn a reaction to TG'-bc followed, but despite late assurances ef export Inejulry the market eased off later and closed ;c under yesterday at TC'jc. Primary receipts were ;73,Oa bu, compared with .U0 last year. Seaboard clearances in wheat and Hour wero equal to COD.OOO bu. Local receipts were Sd oars, 4 of contract pradc. Minneapolis and Duluth reported CCS cars, against 3W last week and 437 a year ago. Australian shipments were 1.064. (00 bu. Llsht hog receipts, the corn strength and an advance in prices at the yarn were reflected in hlght-r prices for provisions-:. May pork sold between $l.".r3 anl $r.C2j and closed 2uc over yesterday at $15.30; May lard between $3.10 and $S.12ij. closing 12'iLf L'c higher at 5.22'.2. and May ribs between $S.0' and S$W2. with the close 124c improved at $$.12''.

There were not many fresh arrivals of cattle, but about the usual Saturday run. The arrivals consisted rrlnMrally of odd bunches of female butcher stock, and with a steady demand all were soon sold at yesterday's prices. The receipts this week ere 200 larger than lait week, unu thus far this year there is a gain of ls,it over the correspunoing period a jear ago. 'ihe steer market tnis wef-k has been disappointing, and sales hae not ben very satisiactory to fcalvf.nen, but the unsatisfactory conaiticn was nut, probably, us much to th scarcity of strictly prime stoclt as to any other cause. Tne opting prices of the wten were bout steady, but later tr.ete was a sracuAl weaker tenuency, ana toward the close of tne week a number of na;es were considered JOh 15c lower.

The wetk jned with 5c decline 1a prices, but this was repaired the following day. On Wednesday the market was steady to 5o lower, and cn Thursday the average was So below Tuesday. At the cluse of the week thers was a steadier tendency In values, and at ths extreme clofe the average was nearly 2V abovs tl.e low time. On acctunt of the narrow msrgin between prices here and Eastern markets shipping order have not teen a liberal as they would otherwise have been, and tney did rmt buy hardly the usual proportion of hogs. At cutrent prices packers have cirate.l rather freely, and lecelpts hsve not been excessive.

The receipts of sheep and lambs were the second largest of the week, but not liberal enough to Invite, competition from all buyers. There was a gool demand, however, from lfcal butchers, and tie supply was exhausted early at firm prices compared with the way equal kin Is have sold hentofcre this week. A double deck of lambs averaging W lbs rold at $5.W. and derent sheep wer reported at $4. The receipts this week are 3 smaller than last week, and that much largT than the sime week a year ago. and the marketing so far this year shows a gain of P.0 over the same period la?t year. Continued limited receipts and an absence of prime stock dll not give the market a chance to develop Its full ftrength. and representative sales have n t shown what might have been expected with larger supplies and better quality. The trade, however, has been quite satisfactory from thesellers' point of view, and most lealers claimed! that prices were the best thus far this season, firing lambs sold as high as fS, old lambs $5.7i, sheep $4.5"), and yearlings $4.65.
