view fork. March 30.-There was q dis
unct!y better tone to the market for Sc
eurltles to-day. The apprehension in re-
safo 20 the recent decision Of the SUI
Pfeme Court disappeared in q measure
because Of the announcement that lead
Ing officials of Western railroad associa-
ions had given orders to the freight
agents to maintain rates, and also be-
cause or statements, which were after
wards confirmed, that the counsel for
Inc Joint Traffic Association would ad-
wise the continuance Of the association
until the Supreme Court had an oppor-
tunity to pass upon its legality. Only
one reaction OF Importance occurred
during the session, and that was in SYM
pathy with the sudden break in Jersey
Central from S5;s to So on a revival Of
the rumors recently current that the d.
vidend Will be reduced 1t is to be said
that even this failed to disodge long
stocks In any considerable amount. and
the decline from the highest Of the
morning was only Il to IL per cent. out
SIDE OF Leather Preferred, which broke
2k to 55A.
Near the close speculation developed
renewed strength on the announcement
from Washington that an amended
railway pooling bill had been introduced
IN the Senate by Senator Foraker, and
that strong efforts were making to have
the Dill become Il law. On this there
was q fresh movement to cover shorts
ana the market closed strong III tone.

Chicago 7Inrk cts.

Chicago. March 3o.-To- days business
IN wheat consisted OF liquidation from
start to finish. with prices constantly
dragging downward. The weakness set
IN at the opening and continued with
scarcely an interruption to the close.
Various reasons for the decline were
given, but tho most prominent was {,
preak or one penny ut Liverpool. This
was IN direct opposition TO the action Of
american markets yesterday, and was
explained by the statement that Russia
was Offering what freely.
Inc corn market was more inclined TO
nold firm than that for wheat: Light
receipts and an advance OF AGp3i penny
IN Liverpool communicated a. steady
tone and trade was light Prices showed
only moderate fluctuations. Yesterdays
good shipping demand helped to inrbre
holders with tirmness. which was retain-
ed to-day.
Oats-Oats exhibited something Of
rrmnesS, yesterdays advance being
fairly we'll sustained
Provlslons-As a whole the business in
