opened with both shippers and packer In the field, but there seemed to be nf really urgent demand from any source, and the bidding was rot aggressive; In fact, it eeemed to be the Inclination to reduce trices again, but salesmen Mere very reluctant In accepting such terms. The trading Anally progressed slowly, with hogs for whirh there was some competition selling at nearly steady prices, but occasionally sales, no doubt, were lower, and at the close of the day

practically all dealers reported me marxei rim iy in lower than the close of last week. About

Sheep Receipts small; shipments light As usual at the beginning of the week, the marketing of sheep and lambs Is of no Importance, the supply; in fact, being too small to establish a rang In prices for any gTade. Therefore the true conditions existing cannot be established by representative sales, but, in harmony with reports from other places, which generally govern the opinions of dealers here at this time, there seemed to be good reasons to expect that steady prices will prevail in the near future, and. in fact, with better quality represented than list week It should be possible to advance prices.

NEW YORK. March 30. Hopes of a rise

In price in stocks to-day as a result of the favorable bank statement of Saturday were disappointed. The opening dealings proved that the Sunday Interval had resulted in an accumulation of selling orders from various

points. Apparently the banks were not calling loans, but many brokers sent out calls to their customers for additional mar

gins and the Increased demand in call money which resulted ran the rate up to 8 per cent. The hope that the corner in the money market had been turned was seen to

be without warrant and disappointed holders threw over stocks all through the list. The decline In the first hour was not acute.

except In a few stocks, and there was a very general recovery by midday, but the

demand fell into almost complete stagna

agement for the bidding up of stocks. Some observers professed to detect some buying

for investment account at the lower levels.

especially of Pennsylvania. There was alleged also to be some demand of this char

acter for foreign account, but the effect on

prices was not perceptible. The break in Southern Pacific to the lowest point on the

present movement aroused uneasiness as to

the position of the pool in that stock, and this had a depressing effect on the whole

list. The supposition that the leader of this

pool has embarked on a very extensive

campaign for the short account in the general market to recuperate losses believed to

have been suffered on the bull side in

Southern Pacific, while at the same time attempting to maintain the pool holdings of

Southern Pacific, offers a speculative anomfllv: th nncislhlA fTrts of which Wall

. UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS. March 30. Cattle Receipts, 430; shipments light, rhe receipts of cattle to-day were considerably (arger than the average at this time in the week, out a very large percentage of the supply were stockers and feeders. There were not many tmtcber grades fat enough for killers, and they old promptly, as might have been expected, at steady prioea compared with those current at the cloic of last week. There was practically no competition for a tew loads of fat steers, and talesmen considered bids from lOo to 15c lower than the same class of cattle sold at the close of last week. Owners were not inclined to accept iny reduction in prices, but a few that sold wer reported 10c lower and the others did not change sands. There was some Inquiry from professional buyers for feeding cattle and sales were eonsldired steady, but the demand was not equal to the supply acd a few loads were carried over. Salesmen generally rather expect a steady market for suitable kinds of cattle the ensuing week, but no on believes that there will be an opportunity to advance values. It la not expected there will be any material Improvement in the lemand. and therefore there la no occasion for any considerable Increase In receipts. Should the receipts Income heavy there are good reasons to expect that prices will be lower.

CHICAGO, March 30. The grain markets ruled steady, wheat leading with a net gain of c. Corn closed HÖftc up, and oats "lc improved. Provisions staggered early under a heavy run of hogs, but closed steady, unchanged to 5c higher. Seasonable weather was reflected in the opeing trade In wheat. May being He to CTUc lower at 72Hc to 7272c. The market

quickly stiffened on comparatively firm cables and prospects of a liberal decrease in the visible supply, St. Louis leading an active buying movement. Later further impetus toward higher prices was given by the large export clearances, confirmation of early expectations of the visible decrease and open buying by an influential house. May touched 73H73tyc during the afternoon and closed firm, iTsc over Saturday at 73Uc Strong Southwestern markets, small receipts and a decrease in the quantity afloat were minor factors In the strength. Primary receipts were 646,000 bu, compared with 675,000 last year. Local receipts were 11 cars, none of contract grade; Minneaoplis and Duluth reported 4S7 cars, making a total of 49$ cars, against 419 last week and 470 a year ago. Seaboard, clearances in wheat and flour were ' equal to 506,000 bu. World's shipments were 8,712,000 bu. . The amount on passage decreased 1,176,000 bu. . With the news on both the bear and bull side of about qual weight the wheat strength was sufficient to give corn bulls the better of the argument. On one sjde were small receipts and large clearances; on the other a slack cash and export demand, favorable weather for the movement and lower cables. Trade was quiet and general in character. May sold between c and 43c, closing öc up at 43c. Receipts were 91 cars. Complaints of wet weather In Iowa and Illinois and the wheat strength Influenced the oats market In a sharp advance. Covering short contracts formed the chief part of the buying, which at no time was conspicuous. At the top there was some liquidation, but not sufficient to cause more than a slight check. Cash demand was fair. May sold between 227,n'S3Zc and 34c and closed Ti'Ölc higher at 33?ic. Receipts were '180 cars. Provisions were quiet. The market opened weak on heavy heg receipts, but recovered, shorts covering in sympathy with wheat. May pork closed 5c up nt $18.124; lard and ribs unchanged at I10.07H and I3.S5 respectively. Estimateu receipts for to-morrow: Wheat, 25 cars; corn, 10; oats, 2C0; hogs, la.OoO head. M Leading futures ranged as follows:

Dry GooUs.

The week opens with an active trade.

Most of the country roads are now In

passable condition and .while farmers are very busy preparing ground for spring

crops they find time to go to town and trade. Consequently, the dry goods houses.

grocers and agricultural Implement dealers

are very busy. On Commission row busi

ness is large, but profits are limited. Never

before were there such large quantities of

apples, cabbage and onions on the produce market and never before were they sold at

such low prices at this season of the year.

Apples are beginning to rot badly. Potatoes are. in large supply, but are sound and

move quite freely. Small fruits, such as strawberries, begin to arrlvs freely. Reports from producing sections of the South

are generally of a favorable character.

The egg market is still unsettled, but as

soon as the Etorage buyers begin to pur

chase it will become steadier. The trade generally doas not expect to see eggs much lower than at the present time. Iron and

steel markets are active and prices are

very firm. The poultry market continues

firm. Receipts are increasing, but with a good demand there seems to be but little accumulation .of stock. Choice butter sells well at quotations. Cheese continues firm

in tone and the supply Is light. The dry

goods houses report trade excellent, with

prices hardening In tendency. Flour is weak, but not sufficiently so to make a break In prices. Concessions are made of

5 cents a barrel to effect large sales. Indianapolis Grain Market.

The week opened with moderate receipts.

The supply of hay has been comparatively light for several days In succession, and this gives a firmer tone to the market. Oats

and corn are In active demand at compara

tively steady prices. Bidding was active

yesterday at the following range of prices.
