CHICAGO MARKETS.

CHICAGO March 5.-The opening in wheat was steady, July starting unchanged at sol4g 90%c, and bringing 901ac a moment after. May showed an opening l4c advance at S1 05. The Ohio State crop report, which made the condi- tion of winter wheat 8 per cent below the average, was surprise to the trade, as pre- vious reports were to the effect that condi- tions were promising. and this caused momen- tary strength. Then prices commenced to drop. It was reported that Armour had ordered 900 cars to load with wheat at Minneapolis for shipment to Duluth. This was taken by many traders as indicating repetition of the great run Of wheat to Chicago which took place last December and resulted not only in the with drawing of support but also in heavily in creasing offerings Prices slid off in conse- quenee, July getting down to S9%4qS95sc The fluctuations in May were irregular and good deal of nervousness shown. From the opening the market dropped quickly to sl 041s. This followed by quick recovery to Then the market both for May and July began to recover. On the first decline in May buy 'the first hours trading probably million bushels changed han ds. This was supposed sion houses were all large buyers, getting some of the May from the Letter people. This sudden increase in the demand for May brought local shorts in July into the market and With the additional help of some bullish news prices slowly advanced There were rumors current that the Letter holdings in the Northwest had been sold to millers. They were confirmed but nevertheless had effect Near the close the market became quite strong. Buying be- quite liberal and general and May. which had advanced to S1 O5&, advanced quickly to $1 06, but had reacted by closing time to sl O5&. July got up to the best prices of the day 9024 69G7sc and closed firm at 905sc.
 Liquidation of long corn was the feature in that market, a prominent elevator concern dis posing of heavy line. The improvement in wheat late in the session resulted in better support being given. and the decline was re- covered. May closed a shade lower.
 The market for oats was very dull. May closed unchanged.

This is partially attributable to a change of the weather, and partially from a fear of short supplies, which would naturally lead to advanced prices, besides the Southern Pacific Company made very low rates on Rocky Mountain Coal, enabling it to come in as a competitor for domestic trade. Lower prices are now ruling for Seattle and Coos Bay prod ucts; Wellington is unchanged F1fty-three vessels named the chartered list from Australia for San Francisco with a carrying capacity of LOGO tons-over so per cent of this will not arrive here for six months. If we should have seasonable rains within the next thirty days this Australian list will be ma terially swelled. as grain cliartererS would be freely engaging vessels for future loading at advanced rates, whereas at present this line of business is completely at a standstill.

NEW YORK March 5.-The Financier says: The statement of the Associated Banks of New York reflects in full the disturbing causes which have been making for nearly three weeks past. The heavy decreases, how ever. cover a period longer than the seven days which the totals supposed to repre-
 sent. As outlined in this analysis last week, the averages did not include the losses which the banks were then sustaining through the shipment to the interior. The latest state ments reveal very clearly the extent of this drain The decrease of s23 193. 300 in deposits can be traced through list of twelve of the larger banks ranging from one to four mill lions of dollars in each instance. The only inference is that this money has gone to other Institutions and this is further borne out in the fact that New York exchange at all i'm portant centers has advanced from heavy discount to par, and in some instances to a substantial premium. The amount shipped has been more than sufficient to meet legitimate trade demands. At the present time the movements seem to have ceased. Future de- velopnents of political character must de eide whether it is. to be resumed or whether the tide will turn and the money again flow to New York. In view of the revelations made public in the current statement the heavy gold imports do not appear at all strange. In fact, the wonder is that the engagements were not larger. As might have been expected, there has been a corresponding reduction in loans and the decrease of SIS 622 GOO is account ed for by the liquidation in speculative circles and the calls made in order to strengthen re- serves. The heavy sales of accumulated ster- ling exchange at this center also to be considered in this connection. But for all that the banks lost nearly sS, GOO, 900 cash. the serve reduction is only S2135,S25. and the cess is still over s20. .000 000 The gold coming from Europe will more than make up the loss in reserves for two weeks The Treasury did not call the usual Union Pacific transfers from depository banks last week and while Kansas Pacific payments will require within the next thirty or forty days nearly S6. 000000 in
 banks, it cannot be said that the outlook fla vors anything more than moderate firmness in rates. The exchange situation Is sens- tive that sudden advances are bound to bring additional imports and thus restore the equiIf- brium. If the development of the next days are such that a peaceable conclusion of our foreign complications Is assured, the money market will probably weaken. As 1t is rates have gradually declined from the high point
