DEPRESSION IN STOCKS.
Every Market for Securities in the
World Is Affected.
PRICES LOWER THAN ARE WARRANTED
Bulls Think There Are n Number OF
short Contracts waiting to he
covered on slump.
THAN ARE WARRANTED

| Ns& rs 5r9s-
New York, March 2s--The doubt over tho
cu,,an controversy between the United States
and spain was a depressing influence in the
local stock market today, as 1t was in every
market for securities In the world. In Paris
the weakness OF Spanish Tours Affected all
other securities by sympathy, and the same
influence weakened the markets In London
aud Berlin. the heayiness of American rail-
road securities being an additional feature at
the latter two points.
On the local exchange there was a well de-
fined bull party whose operations were at
tended with more OF less success thus sub
tracing very materially from the sum of the
depression The motive publicly avowed by
this bun party for Its attitude is that prices
are lower than are warranted by intrinsic
values and by the political outlook But IL
is doubtless Influenced also blythe technical
condition of the market, which Is full OF
short contracts waiting TO be covered on tho
expected slump on anticipated decisive move
ments In the Cuban situation. There is a.
temptation for bull clique to mark up prices
In sech market and force the bears to cover.
The success of the bulls today was only
moderate in inducing covering but they did
discourage further short selling and twice
rallied prices from declines running to
point or over in many prominent stocks. The
market closed with one of these rallies in
force, so that the net changes are for the
mos: part insignificant and there is fair
sprnking of gains.
The industrial specialties continue to be
sufferers from depression, Manhattan and.
Sugar being especially marked out for selling
pressure. The railroads we're pretty well sus-
tained, and the Northern Pacific stocks and
UnioT Pacific preferred showed not a little
flrniness
The resistance to the threatening news de-
vel0rments of the day can only be attributed
to what is regarded by the bull faction as its
oyersold condition.

WHEAT FINISHED WEAK.
News at the Opening Mas All in
Favor Of the Bulls.
EARLY ADVANCES NOT MAINTAINED.
At the Close wheat. Corn, oats and
Provisions All Showed Losscs,
Particularly Pork.

Clio ago. March 23.-Noar the finish today
wheat became very weak and closed 1T about
1 V decline. Higher prices resulting from Sc
we're weather and bullish foreign news
brought out too much long stun for the mar
kct 10 absorb and prices dropped With re-
Variable swiftncss. Other markets were all
INJECTED by wheat. Corn declined Mgia; oats.
hMss, and provisions closed 5ul1is lower.
at the opening anG for a short time after
wheat showed strength. Low temperatures
werr reported from all parts of the winter
wheat country and California reported am
other hard frost last night with considerable
resulting injury. English cables showed
stcadness. Northwestern receipts were mod
crate, chicago receipts wero heavy weather
news was the factor and there was enough
demand from shorts NJ tho opening to start
July wheat ISL higher at st4stss, and May
" higher, at i.o6si. The latter delivery was
very aul ncat oil the session.
The OPENING prices in July proved TO be
tho highest oil the day. There was little en-
thusiasm 10 the buying and after the hrst lew
minutes OF trading prices began slowly slip
ping away.
Reports from tho winter wheat States said
that little or no damage had resulted from
last nights frest apprehensive OF the scare
being removed. buying by the shorts and for
Investment soon disappeared almost alto
gether. Tho decline was Glow, as much sell
ing pressure was apparent, ana up 10 ABOUT
noon the market was in state of duiiness
bordering on stagnation. Only a narrow
scalping trade was done I'm this time, and
traders were evidently still inclined to keep
out of the market until The Spanish question
was settled one way or another. Prices kept
within "A narrow range, with the general tend
eucy downward, July declining TO SOS and
May to Uik.
About noon English cables, reporting bet
ter continental demand for cargoes and heavy
reductions in the estimates OF inc Argentine
cxportable surplus gave the market stronger
undertcne for while after the noon hour
July advancing under moderate buying to
SIS rs. There 1t met lot OF selling against
calls with moro or less general realizing and
the price dropped to S5is. The decline was 40
dr,ck that I brought out 4 good many stop
loss orders and the market declined, with
scarcely any suppoft, to 81 for July. May
too. had to contend with lot of selling late
In the day and declined 10 i0i. slight
Improvement occurred just before the close
July getting to Sb and May 10 l.0rg. Those
were the final figures.
Corn was quiet and weak, with prices all
day under yesterdays figures There was
better demand ut the bottom
The market for oats WIS dull and weak
Tho market was weak late in the session
when wheat made its break
Provisions were exceptionally dull, ana
principally for this reason were easy to the
close
