There is a Demand for Winter Caught Fish and Consumption Is Heavy.

Local fish dealers have arranged to keep on hand an unusually large supply during the Lenten season. Black bass, red snapper and halibut are arriving in every shipment, and the dealers say that the fish are much better than they have been getting hince the opening of the winter. Large shipments of Baltimore and New England oysters are arriving daily and the demand for this popular sea food is very brisk. A few clams are also to be found on the market. There is a growing demand for winter caught fish. This year dealers have been particularly fortunate in securing winter-caught fish and local consumption has been the heaviest on record. There are a few canvasback and mallard ducks on the market, but; prices are high. LOCAL MARKETS COUNTRY PRODUCE. .(Paid by the; Bee Hive Grocery.) ., . Butter..

1 1 CHICAGO MARKETS , i

Liverpool Was Bullish but Weather Bearish; Wheat Market Held Steady to Finn Corn Followed the Leader. Chicago, March 2. The failure of Liverpool to respond to yesterday's decline in the local wheat market caused prices to remain steady to firm. Although the price of wheat here bad declined 3Ac, Liverpool was only yd lower today. Shorts and commission houses were the chiei buyers, but offerings were light. The reports of rain throughout the South west were a bearish influence. May wheat opened unchanged to a shade higher. Corn Firm on Weather. The corn market was steady to firm, chiefly because of wet weather, which, according to traders here, will prevent the grain from drying out in crib and grading high. May corn opened a shade higher. There was little trading in oats, but the market was steady. May opened a shade to c higher. The provisions market opened a trifle easier because of a decline in the price of live hogs. The loss reg- j istered early was, however, soon re gained, shorts being the principal buyers. Chicago Grain and Provisions. (Furnished by O. G. Murray.) open close. Wheat.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS

Hog Receipts Larger; Prices I2V2 Cents Lower; Unfavorable Reports From Other Markets Cattle Steady. Indianapolis, Ind., March 2. Receipts 7,000 hogs, 1,250 cattle and 50 sheep against 5,2i0 hogs, 1,006 cattle and 98 sheep a week ago, and 4,347 hogs, 1,396 cattle and 154 sheep a year ago. Receipts of hogs were the largest for a single day since about the middle of last month, and this and unfavorable reports from other places wore factors that contributed to a sharp decline in prices. The market was fairly active, which resulted in a good clearance at the decline of I2V2C. Packers were more liberal buyers, but the demand from outside sources was not as good as heretofore this week. At the close of trade the demand from all sources had been well supplied and the tendency was weaker than at the opening. Cattle Rather Weak. Receipts of cattle were not large for Friday. There was about the usual number of buyers, but not much competition. The best grade of cows and heifers were about steady and steers steady in some instances, but, as a rule, cattle below top kinds in all departments sold weak to 10c lower. Trading was not active, but not many cattle remained in the pens unsold. There was only a fair demand for feeding cattle and calves 25c lower, making a decline of from 75c $1.50 thus far this week, according to quality. Few Sheep and Lambs. There were not enough sheep or lamb's to invite competition between buyers. The few small bunches on sale brought about steady prices compared with yesterday. Lambs sold at $6;757.00. There were no sheep good enogh to bring over $3.75, but they were not top kinds. Cattle.

Active Favorites Inclined Lower, in Spite of Advances in Some Less Prominent Issues.

New York, March 2. Opening prices in the stock market rose over last night with the conspicuous gains in the same stocks that have been prominent in the speculation for some time. Anaconda rose 34, Lead 2y2, Great Northern prefered 1, Northern Paeific 2, and Smelting 114. United States Steel and Southern Pacific were down small fractions. Bull operators were unable to carry the opening rise further owing to the unfavorable effect produced by the energetic selling of Consolidated Gas. That stock declined nearly 3 points and there was a general setback elsewhere which put Reading and the Hill stocks fractionally under yesterday's closing. . Several stocks of minor importance advanced later, but the general market became very quiet and featureless. Active Stocks Lower. , Trading was dull and fluctuations uncertain. Active stocks inclined lower, in spite of advances in some less prominent issues. Among the declines of a point were Reading, St: Louis Southwestern preferred, General Electric and Pressed Steel Car preferred. Bonds were firmer. Stocks in which the offerings were in any way considerable went off readily, especially U. S. Steel and Amalgamated Copper, which dropped a point each. Some of the prominent stocks also sold lower, and Delaware Hudson lost its advance of 2V&- On the other hand, Consolidated Gas recovered all of its morning decline. NEW YORK STOCKS. (Furnished by O.
