Improved weather conditions, fostering shipping and Int reaelng the volume of spring orders, are the developments to report this week in the local wholesale markets. Interest In the grocery line centers in the atreagth in the sugar market. Price were advanced another 5 points yesterday, the second advance this week Dry goods are firm, hardware is moving more rapidly, and boots and shoes are moving in nominal volume. Thf local trade journal says: The peat few days of good. "diJIBC Wit weather has caused a much more cheerful tone In trad circles. Delayed shipments have been going out liberally and orders received are In greatly increased volume. It is evident that consumers are willing and anxious to boy, lor they nets' the goods, but roada axle deep in mud and streams out over thetr banks was a depressing situation to Cads. The market Is entirely devoid of features. No remarkable ehanges In price lists have occurred or are likely to occur within the fortnight. Hardware men are very mu'-h pleased with the state of their trade. Builders' stock are Incr'aalng In demand daily, as are the cells for garden tools, hose, wire screen and poultry fencing Druggists report their trade satisfactory In every- Tine. Paints and oils, brushes and the like are especially active Dry goods present the same conditions reported a week ago and two weeks ro. All lines are Arm. in fact additional strength seems apparent aach week. Nearly all the mills ore on full time. The cotton workers are paying high pric for the raw. and. as all goods now being t'j-ned cut are selling at advances, as soon as present stocks in distributers' hands are exhausted we can count on further upward rhanees In the wholesalers" price lists. No change in grocery "doings" Is seen other than the Increased demands for canned goods and dried fruits in the last. ;erches and prunes sapeclally.

This makes Indiana oil $1.17 per brl. Oil men are looking gloomy over the frequent cuts in the price and are now watching the marketing as anxiously as when the price was going up at the rate of from 2c to 5c a jump. One producer says no one in the field can tell why the price is decreasing, unless It Is to fores the sale of storks, us the shipments average about 20.000 brls more than the runs. There Is strong talk of the larger producers co-operating Into a big company to buy and refine oil. This is thought to have something to do with the falling prices. It may be a scheme of the Standard to buck the proposed new company before It Is organized. Market quotations to-day are as follows: Tiona $1 8 Pennsylvania 1.71 New Castle 1.58 Corning 1.51 Cabell 1.46 North Lima 1.22 South Lima 1.17 Indiana 1.17 Somerset 1.18 Kagland 66 Another Cut in Oil. PITTSBURG, March 12. For tie third time In three weeks the Standard Oil Company to-day cut the price of high-grade petroleum :tc a barrel. Prices are quoted as follows: Pennsylvania, $1.71; Tiona, $1.86; Corning. $151; New Castle. $1.58; Cabell. $139; North Lima. $1.22; South Lima and Indiana. $1.17; Somerset, $l.lj; Bagland, 64c. THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK. Looking ahead through the year one can see nothing but borrowers, borrowers great and small. A mighty empire and a rising kingdom, both In need of funds for war, the very wealthiest and strongest railroads that America knows the owners of the destroyed property in Haitimore, corporations of all kinds, and individuals all are in the market for loans. Since the fall of 1902 such of these borrowers as are domiciled In America have stood back unwillingly while the New York bankers provided the money for moving the erop. The very- moment this work was done last year and this year, just so soon as cash began to flow back to the financial center, they pressed forward, clutching and scrambling, each trying to outbid or outwit some rival, to get possession of the limited amount of capital available for lending. It Is now nearly a year and half since the stringency in money precipitated the fail in stocks. Bxpsrt corporation managers, familiar with the motley markets and aided by the best counsel, have had recourse to short term notes under the impression that circumstances would surely be favorable for funding by the time these matured, only to be disappointed when that time arrived. At the maturity of the notes It Is found that funding ia as impracticable and 'as difficult as when they were issued, and so nothing la left but to issue more notes at higher rates of interest and with fat commissions attached : r syndicate and underwriters. It must be very aggravating, by the way. to those unfortunate underwriters who are still submerged because of the support they were obliged to give to undlgestlbie securities, to sec nowadays opportunities for participation In choice railroad -..in.- on profitable terms go past them to others who were wise enough to keep their affairs in liquid shaie during the heyday of underwritiugs and syndicates of 11W1-J902. fnited states Investor. I N I I VI I l l 's S'l'KHI.. A prominent manufacturer of finished steel products, who is well Informed as to steel mutters in general, says: "When United States Steel Corporation was formed. It controlled about 85 per cent, of the steel product of the United States; but a $15 per ton profit on steel was too tempting for capital to withstand and new steel plants have sprung up until to-day 1 am buying steel billets ' from twenty-two Independent concerns, and I figure that the United States Steal Corporation now controls less than 65 per cent, of the steel product of the country. "These independent concerns have been making money, many of them, because of their small fixed charges in comparison with Unit. -1 States Steel. I know of one outside plant, which is capitalised for nearly $10.000.000. which Increased Its business 100 per cent in January, compared with last year, principally In competition with the American Steel and Wire Company of the t nited States Steel Corporation. " hen the United States Steel Corjioration was formed, billets were selling at $33 per ton. and the trust made .1 profit of $15 per ton on Its capacity. Now as the company is selling only about one-half of Its full caimcitv at an average profit of $6 per ton. I figure t1Rt the company is m reality making a profit of but $3 per ton on Its full capacity, as compared with $1 at the time of its formation "The course of the iron and steel market indicates that the industry is still either a 'feast or a famine. I anticipate still more competition for the United States steel Cornomti ,n .bjst of the leading interests in the company who made -paper" fortunes out of Its formation and then severed thlr connection with the company, with the exception of Messrs Gates and Ms lmmediste ass-Mats and Moore brothers, who failed to sell their stock are no Innger mtlllonaircs. They will be looking around for an entrance Into the only business with which they ar familiar." Wall-street Journal. rum uii I- 1 1 1.1 it r.

WHEATGOESSTILL HIGHER

TIC Jl LY 6iHI -4l TO 7-v M) THE 31 W l-at i Ml I I I TO 1 1-M , Larsr Flour Sales in Northwest and Better Fort-Ian Inquiry nused the Mrt-iiRth iu U lirat. CHICAGO, March 12 Improved demand for flour in the Northwest, together with better foreign Inquiry, caused a strong wheat market today. Compared with last night the May delivery closed 'fcc higher. July was up 474,c. May corn showed a gain of ltjl-c, oats 4sc and provisions 7,Jfi30c. The unresponsive character of the Liverpool cables had a depressing effect on wheat the first hour. The English markets failed to reflect the strength shown In Chicago yesterday, and as a result opening quotations here were easier, May being U'&tC lower, at 95fc95c. July was Ö c lower, at 90tjt0c. Another factor of almost equal Importance, however, was -the probability of relief from drought in Kansas and Oklahoma. The weather bureau predicted rain or snow throughout the West and Southwest. Under these influences there was quite general selling early in the day. May declined to 95c, while July was carried down to 8$c. Some information received from the Northwest at this juncture made traders forget about rain and caused sufficient buying to advance prices above yesterday's closing figures. LARGE SALES OF FLOUR. Irge sales of flour 50,000 brls were reported from Minneapolis, and 100,000 bu of wheat were reported taken at Duiuth. The figures indicated a revived demand for Hour and a better inquiry for wheat for export purposes. A sharp rally in corn proxed a bull factor In wheat, starting shorts to cover. A dispatch from Odessa claimed considerable anxiety is being felt in regard to the condition of the growing crops. The market held strong during the last halfhour, the close being at the top. with May at v,c. Final figures on July were at 'JIH&91H-'-'learanees of wheat and flour were equal to 73.000 bu. 1'rlmary reeeipts were 464.000 bu compared with 363.000 bu a year ago. Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 300 cars, against 344 cars last week and 371 cars a year ago. CORN WEAK. THEN STRONG. An easier tone was displayed in the corn market early in the day. owing to lower cables and the weakness In wheat. It soon became apparent, however, that some of the bull leaders were giving the market active support. On liberal purchases of May by several prominent commission houses the May delivery became congMfcStL the price rising rapidly. There was also a good demand for the July option. Unfavorable weather, which will retard the free movement of the crop, was the principal bull factor. The demand continued good the last part of the session, and the market held strong until the close. May opened a shade higher to uHc lower, at Va'iSVkc. After selling between lta i. I 54UC the close was at 54sc. July ranged betwesn o0c and Ulc and closed with a gain of V . at öc. Local receipts were 148 cars, one of contract grade. OATS CLOSED HIGHER. Absence of any selling pressure from Patten and a fair demand from shorts contrlt "ted to cause firmness In oats. Prices, however, showed onlv slight gains, the large volume of trading being against any decided change in values. The strength In wheat and corn was a bull fact... The market closed steady. May opened unchanged to fcc lower, at 41tf41lc. After ranging between 4oTc and 41c the closa was at 4lSc. July closed c higher, at 39c, after selling between 3!?c andSJ'.ic. Local receipts were 141 cars. LIGHT TRADE IN PROVISIONS. Provisions made moderate gains on a light trade. There was a firm oening. in sympathy with a better tone In hogs, but the market soon eased a trifle on selling by pit traders. A rally occurred later, due to the strength In corn. There was a good demand for May pork and that commodity closed 27Ia3c higher, at $14.25. May lard was up 7l2c. at $.37s, and ribs 10c. at $7 3.V Estimated receipts Monday: Wheat. 20 cars; corn, 235 cars; oats. 220 cars; hogs, 44,000 head. The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles.

March 12 Hogs Receipts to-day were small, and with a few urgent orders in the hands of shippers the market opened with the bidding reasonably active, and the situation was again favorable to salesmen. 'Consequently they were asking higher prices, and rather early in the day the offerings were changing hands at an advance of 5c to 10c over yesterday. The transactions that were 10c higher were confined principally to the best heavy grades that were scarce and to the light hogs of strong average weight. Ordinary light hogs, as well as the fair mixed hogs, did not show as much strength as others, but were probably no loss than 5c higher. There were not enough of all kinds here to establish an extreme range in prices, but ordinary lieht hogs 'o best heavies can be quoted at 5.77,i, although there were very few here to-day good enough to bring over $ö.',5, and not many common enough to sell below aJv Quotations: Good to choice medium to heavy f5.6003.771 Mixed and heavy packing 5.3 ".'

This week's receipts of hogs show only a slight improvement over la$t week, but a gain of over 1.000 compared with the same week a year ago and a little change compared with the corresponding week two years agj. The receipts thus far this year are nearly 71,000 larger than the same time last year, and for the month thus far there Is a gain of nearly 6.000 over the same period a year ago. For the week ending yesterday the leading local packers bought a total of 7,803 hogs, against 11.358 the preceding week and 7,661 the same seek a year ago. During the same period the shipments were 5.724, against 3.908 the preceding week and 4.2S1 the eorresionding week a year ago. Both buyers and sellers have had their good and bad days in the hog market this week, but the final result was favorable to salesmen. The week opened with light receipts and a good demand, which resulted in a rax. id advance in prices, and on Wednesday values were as high as they had been at any time heretofore this year, and 25c to 30c higher than the close of last week. Later in the week the conditions In the n tal market gave buyers the advantage, and In two days they succeeded in forcing a decline of almost 25c In prices. At the extreme close of the week, however, there was a rally in the market, and at this time prices were 10c to 15c higher than the close of last week, but about 15c lower than the high time in the week. The quality of current offerings has been fairly satisfactory; in faFt, probablv as good as the average at this time In the year, but hardly equal to the standard or last "wtek on account of the more plentiful supply of Ordinary grades. L-cal packers have been opposed to the advance in values, but the market almost ail week was favored by a demand from outside sources that was large enough to be of great help to salesmen. The demand has probably been best for the choice medium to heavy grades, but the good, strong light weights ha sold relatively as well as others. THE CATTLE MARKET. The receipts to-day were small; in fact, there were not encugh fresh arrivals to affect the market in any way. A few weie carried over from yesterday, however, and altogether the supply on sale was a fair aerage for Saturday. Most of the offerings were butcher cattle, and with a steady demand for this class a satisfactory clearance was made on a basis of yesterday's prices. Sales to-day Included 1.000-lb steers at $4 25. heifers at $3.104.2:, cows at $l.753.85 and calves sold from $3 to $6.50, but $5.75 was virtually the top. Quotations: Steers.

DEVELOPMENTS OF THE WEEK. Ccmpared with last week the general cattle market this week has been satisfactory to the selling side. There Has not a general advance in values, hut the best cattle, especially in the steer department, sold some higher. The principal improvement In the market was the fact that salesmen were able to find an outlet for all of the supplies at current prices, while last week, or a greater part of this week, it was impossible to transfer all of the daily arrivals. If any different, the general market this week was stronger early In the wet4t than later, but the best steers sold at comparatively satisfactory prices all week. In isolated cases there, probably was an advance of 2rc. but In a general way the cattle good enough to sell an und $4.r-o and above probably sere not to exceed 10 15c higher. Less desirable steers, that ts. the Krade that had to sell below $4.50, occasionally awsstoasd a little more strength, but as a rule were no higher at the clone of this week than at the close of last week There has been a very good demand for the beet feeding cattle all week, sales generally have been at strong prices, and values continue relatively higher than for fat cattle. There was a scarcity of heifers early In the week and prices were advanced at least lil, but at the close cf the week the supplies were plentiful and all of the early gain was lost. While not considerably higher the good cows sold at strong prices all ueek, and In many cases at least 10c higher than t he close of last week In the bull department ths demand has not been reaMy urgent and prices remained about station-so-. The calf market has been very irregular, and It has been difficult to make an accurate comparison on account oj die decided changes ex1 ' need in a day. but It Is int ably af to say thst the market is st lesst Owe lower than the cloe of last week The highest prices paid tats

week were $.10 for fat rteers. $4.30 for feeders. 4 2 fcr heifers. $4 for cows, $6 50 for calves and $3.75 for bulls. THE SHEEP MARKET. As usual at the close of the week the receipts were quite small and. in fact, not lsrge enough to establish a range in prices for any grade. Consequently the market was quiet, but the few odd bunches offered finally changed hands and sales were reported steady as compared witn the way equal kinds sold yesterday.

Apaln there are very few, if any. important changes to report in the sheep and lamb market in the course of a week. The 8'ipplies this wct-s were again rather small, and. in fact there sere very few days that more than enough arrived to accommodate the urgent requirv-n. nts of butchers For this resson shippers were again practically out of the market all week and, therefore, there was lack of competition. One or two times during the week the market developed rather a weaker tendency, in sympathy with other places, but the supplies were not large enough U be of any advantage to buyers, and practically nil week they were forced to pay about stprices. There is no doubt, however, that a larger supply would hsve been sold lower. Most of the week the best iamns have been salable as high as f but there have been very few here good enough to bring over 15'.) and very good kinds have sold as low as $5.75. There has been quite a scarcity of sheep of all kinds, and eiecially good ones. Whenever anything choice was offered they sold as hish as $4. sen there were not many sales during the week above .15 an l culls to medium sheep sold from $2.50 to $3.5).

Old Knfcland Teacher Who I4t Ills Pnpils Vote on Punish merit. New York Sun. "Do I believe in spanking children?" an old teacher m New York repeated as he reflected over the question. "I do not wish to be quoted affirmatively, but your query recalls a system which one of the early pedagogues adopted when I was one of his pupils. I have often wished that Dickens could have knowu the man who taught me my a b abs. Whenever I sec Henry Irving walk across the et -ige I recall the gait of that New England man who was regarded with fear and veneration in the village where he taught. "His schoolroom was under the roof of his home. An outline map hung upon the wall, and on the table behind which he sat when he was not in motion waa an apparatus with which he demonstrated to the class in national philosophy. The majority of the school, however, knew about as much of that study as the natives in our far Eastern possessions know. "He was easily frustrated, and I may add, he was frequently in a perturbed condition When he was Interrupted in his lecture he called out the recalcitrant who was the occasion f the interruption and quizzed him with severity. "He always gave the boy a chance to justify himself, but if the boy failed, as was apt to be the case, he left it to the other pupils to say whether the boy should be punished. In other words, he polled the school. He called the roll and voted the ayes and noes. "If the ayes had it, the old pedagogue then submitted the question a, to wh it the punishment should be. As he tailed nrh boy's name he asked. 'How shall Master be punished, by switch on the Lack, spanking or by the ferule on the h.ind?' "When he footed up the count, he apoointed a mentor to keep tab on the school while he led the pupil out of the schoolroom into the dining room of the house. a4sd turned him over to his wife. She administered the punishment voted, the pedagogue remaining in the room while the chastise ment was administered. "If this mode of procedure had occurred but once a day it would have not retarded the course of study, btit as it was quite frequent, the wonder was that we ever made any progress. I think most of the time was taken up in calling the roll of the .school on the two pronosdtions. "It rarely happened that i bov i; 1 It was the opj. rt unity of tht other pu; ils to get even. "It kept up a continuous feud, as yei cm readily see. for the boy ujon whom punishment was voted naturally votd for any other boy wha was arraigned t- t the severest punlshnient in the eata4tOTJT. This led to frequent nullte after eOacasi. "ßtraiiRely enough, as it now seems to me. our pareuvs approved of this sv-i.ni of punishment. I ne r knew of but one father who QuaoftfcMM 1 the Wtagogoe, aud the hitter's explanation was s"! satisfactory that the complaining father acquiesced. "The pedagogue said that he handed the pupil over to his wife because he did not btlleve in whipping a child when h w.i laboring under excitement. The rasti. meut by his better half, he said, was not actuated by any personal feeliua perhaps not. Poor woman' When he rib-d the only one to mourn h r loss was hr husband. I remember how. on tie- day of her funeral, we had a hohn v. md that we hanged her in effigy dowu l th 14 swimmiug hol."
