In the. aggregate, the trade of th wek 'ended ea March 23 was very satisfactory. Changes in value were few and on most lines of goods strong 1 rlcs were the chif feature. In dry goods there 1 hardly an article that la not higher than a year ago and prints and cotton cloths are higher than a m-nth a 50. There has been no marked advance, however, in the last week. The dry goods houses have had two months of very satisfactory trade and the last thirty days show m excess over the corresponding period of 1-ist ;tar. Wholesale grocers are enjoying an unusually good trade. .Prices of groceries for twelve, months past have, fluctuated but little, the chief fluctuation being In sugars, navy beans and canned goods, the latter having sold better the last few months than In any like period in many years. Fish of all kinds have been good sellers and very seldom are sale as large as for a few weeks past. Leather has bee-n iis.appolntlng aa to volume of business and a a to prices as well, owing partially to the weak con.ition of the hide market, which for months has been under a cloud. Handlers of hides ara discouraged over the continued dullness. on commission row business conditions are much cut or tnt ordinary. Prices on some lines art nign beyond precedent, apples and Irish potatoes b-ing of the number. Hlh prices for apples naa oeen looke.i ror. but it was supposed that wun spring-like weather receipts of Irish piior wouiu increase ana prices would break. out anticipations have nH been realized.

AV. frWhitney is largely interested In property there, and he was the cause of many Northernors coming. These temporary citi zens from the North are given to athletic sport and consider Sunday about the bet day In the week for golf playing. It is this habit that has roused the ire of the ministers and ultra strait-laced element in Aiken, and they are doinic their best tr make trouble for the fashionable folks who persist in pursuing their pleasures on the lord's day. The majority of the wonlc. particularly the merchants, who look at the matter from the commercial stand point, say that if the New Yorkers want to sport on Sunday it's their business, and that those who criticise are meddlers. They don"t want to drive the Northerners away, and lose the big revenue they bring the town every season. The) chances are that Sunday golt playing will continue to thrive in Aiken in spite of the rarsons and thr surr-orteri."

MAY WHEAT'S LOW POINT

LOW THIS LKVKL OF PKICES FOR YEAR'S TRADING. Corn Strong and Higher on the Cold "Weather "West Oat nntl PrnviIon Show Deelines. CHICAGO, March 23. Speculation In grains va3 mixed ami only fairly active today. Cold weather upheld corn, but wheat was offered so liberally that a new low price for JMay was recorded. At the close May wheat was Uc lower, corn higher and oats ?sc depressed. Provisions closed a shade to 15c down. Some slight strengLi was acquired by wheat from the cold weather reports west and from their effect on corn. There were no foreign markets open, however, and news apart from the weather was meager. The session also was short and the tendency in wheat was to clear up deals. Heports from the winter wheat belt continue to develop bearish sentiment. Rains and the warmer weather helped the growth of plants materially uuring the week. Some of the Chicago crop exptrts in Kansas reported To to 5 per cent, of a crop for that State. At the start there was fair Duying by a prominent professional to take in a long line of shorts and there was also some Eastern buying. This business did not last long, but the offerings continued in heavy surplus of the demand and prices collapsed temporarily. May started wa.c lower to a phaue higher at ilUc to iUt-c, advanced to ;?gc ana tnen dropped to the lowest pricii since May has been lor sale this year lOc. Ihis new level induced good short covering and pome investment purchases and a recovery to 71s&c followed. May closed easy, "ic down, at 71'ie. Local receipts for two days were iö cars, one of contract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth reported bJ cars, making a total for the two days of 55, against one day last week, 29 cars, and 4u0 a year ago. Primary receipts were t:7,o0V bu, compared with G73.0OJ last year. Seaboard clearances. In wheat and Hour equaled 432,000 bu for two days. Australian fchipments for the week were W2.0U0 bu, compared with 1.3S4.000 last year. Snowing In Kansas and below freezing in parts of the Southwest started corn shorts to cover hurriedly at the opening.. There could not, of course, be any growing of grass with that temperature, and traders argued a further need of corn for feeding. There was a good demand most of the day and only light offerings to meet it. The crowd that has been manipulating July did a little buying, but not enough to excite the pit. Many of the short speculators were nervous over the firm tone, and there was considerable covering, supposed to be for St. Louis. Trade was active at times, but the small amount put on the market restricted general business. The late weakness in wheat took off some of the gain corn had made, but longs were not inclined to let the market drop back far. May opened firm, sold to GuUc and closed firm, higher at 5T4'aC0c. Receipts for two days were 197 cars. Oats were weak. Offerings, especially of May, were liberal, and there was no apparent attempt by the bull faction to support prices. Shorts covered freely at times, but the demand was very slack. The provisions crowd sold in good quantities and the corn strength aided only temporarily. May started slightly under Thursday's close, sagged to 41a8c and closed weak, 7c down at 4120. Receipts for two days were 257 cars. Profit-taking ruled the day In provisions. The hog situation was still bullish, the highest rrlees for the year being reached pat the yards to-day. The chief buyers of last week who bulled the market, however, were content to take their share of proilts. Heaviest shorts had already covered, but there were enough shorts left to take the offerings without having to depress prices by any great break. The first hour in the pit was nervous and prices in pork roe and fell rapidly. At one time May pork sold as low as 16.472 The close was eaty, May pork 15c lower at $16.55, lard 5c down at $1.77M. and ribs a shade lower at $3.87. Estimated receipts for Monday Wheat, 05 cars; corn, 110; oats, 155; hogs, 42.000 head. There will be no session of the Board of Trade on Tuesday, April 1, owing to the election- a legal holiday.

The Financier says: "The bank statement of last week showed a gain of fl.RU.oro in cash instead of the loss of $1.314,500 which was estimated from the traceable movements of money up to Wednesday night. The discrepancy may possibly be accounted for on the theory that the receipts by the banks on and after Thursday were in excess of the shipments, and that the outward movement for the April settlements did not begin to be important until the close of the bank week. The loans show a decrease of $S,87S,O00. making $31.027,600 for the three weeks since March 15, inclusive. The deposits were reduced last week $7.81.300. making $40.313,400 in the three weeks. It is noteworthy that in this interval the loss in cash was only $301, son. The statement is nearly harmonious, the net loss resultine from the riprrp.no nf loans, less the gain in cash, being only $5,. 00 below the amount of the reduction In deposits. The reserve requirements were lessened by $1,970.325. which, added to the gain In cash, made an increase in the surplus reserve of $3.431.325. This item now stands at $6.565.575. against $7,S70.500 at the corresponding date last year. The losses of cash by the banks which probably will result from the shipment of money in response to the demand for the April settlements Will, later in the current week, most likely be counterbalanced by the return of this money from near-by centers after such adjustments have been effected, so that the derangement to the monev mar ket caused by the outflow will be temporary."

THE LIVE STOCK MARKETS

PHIMi: FAT CATTLE STEADV; ALL OTiiuit Kins i i:vi:lv i.ovi:h. Hogs Active nnd Five Onti Higher Sheep Without Change Condition of Other Markets. UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS, March 23. Oat tie Receipts small; shipments nenc. The marketing of cattle this week has born fairly liberal, showing an increase of 7"J over last w ee k, 1.4'. o t r the same week a year ago and 2,5"J over the corresponding week two years ago. Thus far this year there is a gain of nearly 12,compaied with the same period last year. In some respects the market this week has been disappointing, but changes have not been radical so far as fat stock Is concerned. The early part of the week buyers took advantage of increased supplies and pounded the market to the extent of about luti 15c in prices of fat stock. The depression, however, was only temporary and at the close of the week desirable cattle of all kinds were selling in about the same position that they did at the close of last week. There was very little inquiry for ordinary stock throughout the week and prices were unevenly reduced. There was an accumulation of ordinary stock cattle and at the close of the week it was very difficult to move the supply at lower prices, but strictly fleshy feeders of good quality sold about as they have at any time recently. The extreme prices realized this week ere $3.60 for steers, $5.75 for cows and heifers, $5 for bulls and $7 for calves. As usual at this time in tho week a small number arrived for the market to-day and there was not much interest manifested in the business by buyers. Finally, however, most of the stock changed hands at yesterday's prices, but there was no outlet for quite a number of common stock cattle that had. been carried over from preceding days this week.

This week's receipts of hogs exhibit an increase of about 1. 500 over last week and a decrease of almost 6, compared with the same week a year ago and not quite 6.000 compared with the corresponding week two years ago. Thus far this year the receipts are nearly 27,000 smaller than the same period last year. For the week ending yesterday local packers bought a total of 10.65, against 9.L7 the preceding week and 12,620 the corresponding week a year ago. During the same period the shipments were 4.912 against 6,t2 the preceding-wet k and 7,906 the same week a year ago. There has been a gradual upward movement in values this week and at the close of the week the position was the highest in over five months. The advance was not due to any noticeable Improvement in the quallty from the fact that there were nearly as as many prime hogs marketed this week as last. The supplies, however, were only about large enough to meet the immediate requirements of buyers and this, toeethr-r with a sharp up-turn in the provision market, was mainly responsible for the higher prices. Shipping orders were not liberal, but rather urgent, and added considerable strength to the market. At the extreme close of the week the top price for heavy hogs was 35c higher than the opening and light hogs sold 27JyAc higher. The high price of the week was $7, which is the highest price paid since Oct. 4. 1301. The receipts to-day were barely as large as the average at this time in the week recently, and there were very few prime hogs represented. In harmony with favorable reports from othtr places the market opened with reasonably active competition between packers and shippers and there was a natural improvement of about 5c in the average compared with yesterday's prices. Unnatural conditions existing- were responsible for a sale 10c higher, but it was the opinion of most dealers that this transaction was a little above the usual market value of the offerings. There was a very healthy condition to the market, however, and It was possible that the extreme price reported world not have been extravagant for strictly fancy heavy hogs. Although there were a few urgent shipping orders packers were the principal buyers and the small supply was exhausted early. Sales ranged from J6.3587 and were largely above $G50 Quotations: Good to choice medium and heavy jr,: Mixed and heavy parking 6.3Trfz s5 Good to choice light weights.. 6..rKiG7CU Common to fair light weights.... 6.35'u;.'

The receipts of sheep and lambs this week have been Fmall, showing a decrease of over 1,000 compar:d with a week ago, hut an increase of 450 compared with the same week a year ago and nearly Sn) compared with the corresponding week two vears ago Thus far this year there Is a gain of 4.4:0 compared with the game period last year On account of the very moderate sunniies all buyers could not be greatly interested in tne marKet. ana there was very little change in values until the close of the week, when the receipts were large enough to invite competition from all sources, and the result was a little advance in value At the extreme close of the week the be?t sheep were selling possibly 25c higher than at the close of last week, and a very strong average was represented in prices of lambs Both shippers and local batchers were rep resented in the market throughout the week, and it was not difficult to exhaust the supplies at current prices. The extreme sales were $11 for spring Iambs. $j.50 for other kinds, $5.50 for yearling sheen and $5 for old sheep. A small number arrived for the market to-day, and, as usual at this time in tho week, the trading was nuirr and fully steady prices were realized compared with the high time heretofore this week, (juotaticns: Good to choice lambs .$5.73fi6.50 . 4.5v'i5.50 . 5.Vif3.50 . 4'jr.i0 . 2.&'!i3.75 . 2.0013 xj . 2.5m'3 50 Common to medium lambs.

This week has been the worst feature of the market, however, as the demand has not been affected in the least. The Inquiry centers in the choice fat butcher stock, but everything Is salable at quotations. The best cows and heifers are selllnc higher at present than thy have been for years.
