The receipts of cattle this wtek show an increase of about 400 over last week, TOO over the fame week a year ago and 1.SS0 over the corresponding week two years ago. Thus far this year the receipts are nearly 9.000 larger than the same period last year. With comparatively liberal receipts at the beginning of the wer k here ani cl.-e where, th market opened with a slow demand and a reaction in rrices resulted. This was followed by a further weakening tendency 011 Tuesday, but from that time to the close of the week there was a gradual upward movement, and at thv extreme close of the week prices for all fat stock were generally considered 2."c higher than the close of laft week. The market was characterized by the continued active demand for good cows and heifers and with barely enough to meet the requirements of buyers the trading at all times was active. The market for feeding cattle was a little irregular but generally steady prices were maintained on the better grades, while ordinary rockers were rather difficult to sell at hoi.ie lower prices. There was more discrimination against the unfinished butcher tattle thi-s week than last, but salesmen Mierfcdcd in transferring their consignments at turn nt prices. There has been a scarcity of strictly choice cattle In their class, and consequently there were not many extreme prices reported. During the week, however, steers sold as high as $t.75, hcirVrs iö.i. cows $ö, bullä 51. and calves iT.D. The rc ipl:-to-day were small, but iij birg as expected at this time in the week. Sotno of the offerings were better than any represented in this market heretofore ihis season and higher prices were realized on that account, but as usual at this time in the week, it was more or less difficult to make sales and there was no quotable improvement in the market yesterday. Choice steers, averaging 1,613 lbs, sold at 50.7."), or 15c higher than the highest prices paid heretofore this season, and probably the highest price paid at this time in about twenty years. Other sales included iU to l.IXCS-lb steers at 54.50 (10.23, heifers at $3.i5.2G, and cows at 523.00.

Combined receipts of hogs this week exhibit an increase of nearly 2.1MJ over last week, little change compared with the same week a yer ago and an increase of about 2"0 over the corresponding week two years ago Thus far this y-ar the receipts are over l.eou smaller than the same period last year. For the week ending yesterday local packers bought a total of 13,o07, against 12.ti.3l last week and 14.7b2 the same week a yar ago. During the same period the shipments were 5.2,0, against G.lvJ the preceding week and the corresponding week a year ago. At the beginning of the week there was a slight reaction in prices, which was followed by a rally in the market for heavy hogs. Later, however, values declined sharply and on Thursday were about 20: lower tlun the average on Tuesday At the extreme close of the week the market ralli.-d again and fully loc of the los3 was regained. The demand has been better for the good, heavy grades than others throughout the week, and consequently they have shown the most strength. It has been very dittleult to dispose of the liht mixed hogs at satisfactory prices compared with the way other grades were selling, and there has bet n a wide range in prices all week. More of the best iunvy hogs marketed this season were offered, and among the arrivals were several loads that averaged over 3"o poun.U. which of coure rs unusual. Local packers bought a 1 irger proportion of the hogs than last week There was very little or no change in the quality compared with the average last week. Nearly every day orders were Completed before the supply had been exhausted, and several loads had to be carried over, but this had little or no effect on th- market the succeeding da v. The highest price pal 1 this wek was J.;.52V and the lowest top prire was $5.35. The receipts today were not half as lare as a week i-o or a year au. und were the smallest foVu Saturday market Fine- last September and probably since March 1. 17.

There were probably very few salts that iil not show at 1-ast 7VsC gain, and some dealers were sure that the average was nearly 10c above yesterday. A good clearance was made at currnt prices.

The marketing of sheep and lambs this week shows an increase of about 600 over Jast week, over the same week a year a;;o and 1,1.) over the corresponding week two years ago. Thus far thiä year receipts are nearly l.lv) larger than for the same period last year. Quite a falling off in the request from local butchers was the principal reason for a reaction in prices the early part of the week, especially in the lamb department, and sales were reported as much as 25c lower than the close of last week. Later in the week, however, the market rallied a little and sales were reported within 20c of the extreme top last week. There was a sympathetic weakness in the sheep market, but not enough to warrant a reduction In quotations. Shippers have been the leading buyers all week and good clearances were made each day. The receipts to-day were small, but about as large as expected at this time in the week. The demand, of course, was of no great importance, but about equal to the supply, and sales, for the most part, were at about steady prices. Lambs were reported at jr.70?i6.1o and culls to good sheep sold at 51.757 : 1.75.

INTERSTATE STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS, March 1. Cattle Receipts none; shipments none. The week ending to-day has been a fairly satisfactory one in the cattle market. While business was comparatively light, there was no let-up in the demand from any source. 1 'rices on choice fat stock are fully 25c higher than at the close a week ago. The best demand is for fat cows and heifers, with the highest quotations for such at $1.55.

The steady decline in prices during the first half of the week was followed by a. reaction, and, as a result, closing prices were only about 5c lower than at this time last week. Receipts were Just about the same, and there was little difference in the quality. A straight advance of 5c per hundred was made to-day in all quotations from yesterday's figures. Choice heavy hogs were worth 56.30fi6.40, with the best lights at 56W 6.10.

STAGNANT STOCK MARKET

SII.N'UR STOCKS SHOW Tili: ONLY CO.VSI'ICLOIS .MOVKMKMS. The L"nsintIfHctnry Condition of the Jloney 3Inrket Ik n liar to Anjr Speculative Activity NEW YORK. March l.-Thc stock market was very listless and Idle to-day and reflected declining Interest even on the part of the professional traders. Many of these have taken advantage of the dull business on the exchange to go away for spring vacation trips, and the abscence from the street of many of the bankers and railroad proprietors who arc usually concerned in large doings shows the general acquiescence in the present state of things. The small traders, whose dealings made up the market, devoted their attention to the less important stocks, which have occupied them for some time past. With the exception of a rise of 2"; in American Cotton Oil, said to be due to favorable trade conditions, there was no movement of sufficient importance to chronicle. The bank statement showed a smaller decline In cash reserves than expected, but thi3 was attributed to the working of the the average system of computation, by which the gold shipments on Thursday figure for only three days in the statement. The loan item also was a relief In the modest proportions of expansion, as a large increase had been feared. The room shorts therefore covered on the publication and imparted some slight strength to the market. With both the loan and deposit items of the banks at figures never before reached in the history of the clearing house, and with the surplus down to the small sum of P.97ö.,j:ö, the desirability of caution in incurring obligations In the call loan market is clearly recognized, and there is no apparent prospect of awakened speculation In the stock market. The distinctive feature of the dealings in the stock market this week has been the prominence of the less prominent stocks which are not Immediately connected with the great railway systems, and the Industrials of small capitalization, and which are affected only by individual causes and are not a barometer of general conditions. , Interest has shifted from one to another of these during the week. Usually somo ostensible reason was advanced for the buying of the particular stocks affected, but they were for the most part vague rumors, and there were often sudden relapses in prices when rumors failed of conlirmatlon and the speculative pools responsible for the movements had taken their profits. The sum of thes movements helped out the appearance of activity in the market for much cf the time, but they were in reality a symptom of the underlying neglect and indifference of capital. As for the general market as a whole, It has maintained a fairly firm undertone, notwithstanding the tendency towards stagnation. That Is to say, holders are not seeking to market stocks while the demand is so slight that sales could be effected only at concessions in price. This agrees with the widely-held theory that a very large volume of securities, representing the proceeds of consolidations, is in strong hands, and that the complete success of the consolidations cannot be said to be assured until the securities find ownership with the investing public. Much weight has been attached by speculators to the expected developments of plans for further consolidations as they may be affected by the Northern Securities Company's fate. The proposed suit against this company by the government necessarily brings into question not only its future, but that of many other projects designed on the same lines. The settlement of the government's suit is recognized to be a matter of months and perhaps years, and no one supposes that the stock market will lie stagnant all that time. There are factors of more immediate application which promise uncertainty in the speculative sentiment. The money outlook is by no means clear and the resumption of gold exports on a large soale is a complicating factor. It is clear that the gold has gone out in payment of maturing obligations abroad, and the growing demands on foreign credits indicate that further calls will be made by this country's foreign creditors. The speculation in Kaffirs apparently has culminated for the time and the taking up of contracts in these has required resort for loans to the Hank of England on an enormous scale. The weekly statement of the Bank of Trance reflects the same tendency there. The supply of exchange bills in our market is very scanty, owing to the small outward movement of grain and cotton, and the alternative for American debtors is to shin gold. A considerable outward movement is expected during the coming month. The interior is showing evidene of spring requirements for currency. With New York surplus reserves of modest dimensions, such a simultaneous demand from both directions is likely to result in straitened circumstances for those dependent on call loans, as the majority of speculators are. The period of crop uncertainties is also at hand. On Wednesday of this week reports of damage to the winter wheat crop made an effective instrument in the hands of the bears in the stock market. There is some apprehension likewise that labor troubles may develop during the spring, especially In the coalmining field. Wall street awaits some further light on these questions. There has been a good demand for bonds, mostly for some of the speculative issues.

Impression that It Is "Die "Wacht Am Rhein" Is Corrected. Washington Star. It is remarkable how very few people in this country, even musicians, know the national song of Germany. There is a popular impression that it is Dic Wacht am Rhein." Such is not the case, however, as was learned one day by Professor MacLeod, leader of the band of the District National Guard, who applied to the German embassy for information on that point. He thought it was the "Watch on the Rhine." but wasn't sure. The National Guard Band was to take part In the ceremonlei attending- the welcome to Prince Henry of Prussia, and it was intended that his Hoyal Highness should- hear the national song of the Fatherland on that occasion. In response to his inquiry the band leader was informed by a representative of the Germany ambassador that the national song of the German empire is "Heil dir im Sieserkranz," the music of which Is precisely the same as that of "God Save the Queen. " the national song of Great Britain, and "America," or "My Country. 'Tis of Thee." one of the patriotic songs of the United States. The same information is contained in "National and Patriotic Airs of All Nations." a volume compiled by John Philip Sous when bandmaster of the United States Marine Band, which compilation is accepted as the official guide of the Navy Department and is followed in all naval functions. In addition to the cases already mentioned it further appears from ProL Sousa's compilation that the well-known music of "God Save the Queen" Is also the national air of Switzerland under the name of "Rufst du mein Vaterland" and the national song of Bavaria under the title "Heil unserm Konig. Heil." Professor Sou. -a denominates "The Starspangled Banner." "Hull Columbia" and "My Country. TU of Thee," as patriotic songs of the United States, and lot-s no" attempt to name the national song of this country. He shows, however, that the practice in the navy is to play "The Starspangled Bannerr" at morning colors and "Hail Columbia' at evening colors on all warships in commission and at naval stations where there are service bands.

SUDDEN BULGE IN OATS

it srnsiucs as quickly as tiik GAIN WAS MADE. After Ilislxit? 2c Oats Close nt hat Fraction Gain Other Cerenls autl Provisions Loner. CHICAGO, March 1. An excited oats market held the attention of speculators in grains to-day. Alarmed shorts covered so hurriedly that May oats jumped c and other grains strengthened on the influence. A sharp reaction followed and Maywheat closed ?ic lower. May corn s7c lower and May oats only U'.ic up. Provisions closed a shade to Tc lower. The flurry In oats was the outcome of a report that the heaviest holder of May oats was ordering No. 2 mixed out of regular elevators for the purpose of shipping as much as possible of contract- stock out of Chicago. Shorts regarded this as a challenge, and for the first hour there was a lively scramble to cover. There was some fear that an attempt was being made to force values before the government crop report, which is expected March 10. Receipts continued slow and there are no indications that point to an early increased movement. Storms are breaking up the roads. These Influences aided In the manipulation, which did not come entirely unexpected. Nervousness prevailed all morning and the trade was heavy. May opened Uc to up, at Uic, eased momentarily to 443443;c. and then went up with quick jumps to 46. One buyer got nearly 1,000.000 bu at the high figure. Later the market quieted, and on an absence of demand prices slid back. May touched 44c and closed still firm and ?lc higher, at 44!it45c. Receipts were 94 cars. Wheat was active at times but with a declining tendency that was checked by the strength early in the coarse grain markets. Damage reports continued to come in from the Southwest, but the crowd was slow to believe them, and on the heavy rains the feeling was Inclined to be bearish. English cables were rather firm and the shalrp bulge In oats and the corn strength helped an early firmness. Outsiders bought moderately, but the prevailing sentiment seemed to lack confidence. Sellers at the same time were cautious. There was no demand for cash wheat and there was nothing slgnlllcant in receipts. May opened a shade higher to a shade lower at 7707674c, held steady near those prices the first hour or so, and then, when corn broke, eased off to 76Vc, and closed easy, c lower, at itail'GgC. Local receipts were twenty-four cars, none of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 358 cars, a total of 2S2, against 361 last year. Primary receipts were 542,000 bu, compared with 5-6,000 bu a year ago. Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour equaled 328,000 bu. Corn was active and somewhat nervous. Early in the session small acceptances over night and higher Southwestern markets firmed the market. Cables were slightly higher, but were disappointing to bulls, as were the increased receipts. The upturn In oats held corn to its strength and May opened KtiKc to a shade lower at 628' i2'&c. Fluctuations were narrow, and May sold up to only 62c, when oats were at their highest. As soon as oats started to react, corn holders began to unload and the market turned decidedly weak. The cash demand was dull and although the weather west was still stormy, country offerings were liberal. May, broke jaggedly, offerings being taken mostly by shorts and holders of privileges. May seid as low as 61'i'a6138C, and closed heavy and weak, if c lower at 61-sC. Receipts were 201 cars. Provisions opened with a better tone on l!ght receipts and higher prices at the yards. Commission houses did some buying and further advanced prices. On the bulge packers offered freely, considerable ribs were sold and on the grain slump prices eased under yesterday. May pork closed 2c lower at $15.45, lard unchanged at $9.374 and ribs 5fi7Hc lower at $$.25S8.37H. Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat, 25 cars; corn, 125 cars; oats, 85 cars; hogs, 33.01 head.
