Chicago, Saturday Commission Ikouaes had liberal offerings of wheat but demand was light. In consequence the tone or the market was decidedly easier. The fact that the wheat market at Liverpool failed to respond to the firmness shown here yesterday partly accounted for the moderate weakness. Another bearish influence was an Increased movement in the Northwest. The May option opened Vc to ,4c lower, sold off to 7878'2C, and then rallied to 78 c. ... Cor Ha an Easy Tone. Increased local receipts and weak cables caused an easier tone in the corn market.. May opened Vr(i1Ac lower, and, for a time, held within tho opening range. The easier tone of wheat and corn had a depressing effect on the oats market.

Provisions were easier.

Cincinnati, Saturday The trade In cattle this week opened with a strengthening and upward tendency under just fair receipts, and tho more desirable grades of butchers sold readily and strong to a dipe highar and, in some instances, as much its 15c higher, but heavy steer c..Uie were not much more than steady and slow. Proces subsequently eased off, and Under Thursday's liberal rece-Dts the above advance was fully lost, and again on Friday, under pressure of quite liberal receipts, the average was reported from 10c to 15o lower and the week's market closed quiet with the average of sales fully 25c per 100 lbs lower than at the high time this week. Receipts this week have been fair aiid amounted to 3.S49, against 3,161 the preceding week, 3, 703 two weeks ago and 5,282 a year ago the same week. Stocker and feeding cattle have been active and firm under good demand and scant and inadequate supply.

Indianapolis, Saturday. Receipts today 2,000 hogs, 400 cattle and 300 sheep against 2,522 hogs, 298 cattle and 65 sheep a week ago, and 1,552 hogs, 299 cattle and 8 sheep a year ago. Fresh arrivals of hogs were not large, but with those carried over the supply was gcod. The market opened with a satisfactory demand from outside sources, which, with the demand from local packers, created an active market, at prices that were strong to 5e higher than yesterday There were few late arrivals, and no

change Indicated in closing sales compared with the opening. The range was from $6:306.50, and the bulk of the supply sold at $6.40 6.45. Hog receipts this week were of good volume, even though early runs were small. At the start packers were favored by lower prices elsewhere and pushed values to a low level, the average on Friday being 25c lower than the close of last week. At the close, however, there was an improvement in demand from outside sources and a rally in prices made the average about 5c higher than the low for the week, but 20c lower than the close of last week. There is more or less speculation as to future developments, but as usual at this time in the year, it is generaly believed that there will soon be an increase in receipts. Cattle receipts were fair for the closing day of the week and there were few in nearly every department The market opened with good demand from local sources, and all offerings fat enough to kill found an easy outlet at steady to strong prices. The cattle situation at the beginning of the week was by no means encouraging to the selling side. Local packers were indifferent, and there was only a fair outside demand. Early in the week there was a decline cf 10 15c on nearly all grades except cows, but subsequently, with an increase in requirements of order buyers, there was a good active trade in alj departments and much of the early loss was regained. Sow stuff of all kinds sold to good advantage. Bulls were not as high as last week and there was a decline of $1 in prices of calves during the week. There was not much business in stocker and feeder lines," but sales did not indicate any material change in prices. There were few sheep or lambs arrived and the situation was no different from preceding days. Such as were here sold at about sieady prices to locate butchers, but there were no offerings good enough to test the full strength of the marKet. The big end of receipts of sheep and lambs this week was stock billed through and supplies were below normal, although not much smaller than heretofore this month. There were not enough sheep here to establish prices by actual sales and there was no time in the week that there were enough in any line to establish a range. Under the circumstances it was difficult to make an accurate report of the market based upon sales. Prices generally were maintained steady as compared with last week. If the market is steady in the next few days, good lambs should sell as high as $0.50 and sheep as high as $4.50.

The Money Market Displays Improved Tendencies Rates Have Been Lower Yet They Are Net in the Range of Possibility Undercurrent of Mistrust is a Great Obstacle to Legitimate Stock Market Activity.

Pallx.liuri Special. 1 New York, March 25. The stock market has been iu a state of comparative lethargy. Many favorable conditions appear to have been fully discounted; some of the big traders are out of the market for the time being, and large holders seem inclined to await developments in both the industrial and the political worlds, which are more or less uncertain. Monetary conditions were also unfavorable to Stock Exchange activity, although visible relief is observable in that quarter. These are the influences at present dominating the market. A turn for the better now seems in sight which should continue to progress if nothing intervenes as the approach of spring becomes piore evident. Bear . campalgs generally meet with slight success when the sap is rising. The stock market is thus under the influence of very conflicting conditions. A considerable decline has taken place in many stocks which entitles the mto a fair recovery, especially in view of the increasing short interest. Both railroads and industrial corporations are still enjoying an active trade, of which there are yet no important signs of cessation. Business conditions of themselves are essentially satisfactory and sound, the threats of disturbance coming mainly from the outside. The large increase in supplies of new securities has somewhat interfered with the upward movement, but these for the most part have been absorbed with surprising ease, which simply Illustrates the rapidity with which the country is accumulating wealth.

Excessive speculation in coppers is

not a wholesome feature; but so far

this movement seems to have been backed by powerful interests and has not yet reached the stage where It is

a menace to the market. Bq-and-bye when the stocks have passed from strong holders into the public's hands, developments may be expect

ed of a more interesting character

Present conditions favor a trading market in which sales should be

made on all good raillies and pur

chases on pronounced breaks. For the next few days much will depend up

on the prospects of a coal striks and the course of the money market.

The money marketdisplays an Improving tendency. Somewhat at eas

ier rates have prevailed, although low

rates are not yet within the range of

possibility. The greatest obstacle to stock market activity at the present time is the undercurent of mistrust, which began with the Insurance investigations and has been steadily growing

owing to the persistent campaign against corporate and other abuses.

This agitation, together with the hostile attitude of labor, is creating an undercurent of uneasiness which un

less checked may easily assume more serious proportions. Not only the heads of great corporations but our leading politicians are feeling the ef

fects of excessive and very frequently unjust criticism, and the need is

apparent of a saner and less radical movement to counteract these excesses. There is danger of criticism going to the extreme and creating an entirely unjust and uncaled for de

gree of pessimism.
