THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Cereals Fall of in Price Under
Pressure of the Bears.

CHICAGO, March 20.-Wheat was duh
today but steady. Shorts were disposed TO
cover. There was very little outside trade.
The market closed a trife higher on re-
ports of a better cash demand here and at
the seaboard. Liverpool was SD lower.
Paris was 1-2c lower Primary receipts
were about 600 bushels larger than last
year Clearances were 400, 600 bushels.
BradstTeet reported a decrease OF 1925, 600
bushels in the worlds visible. Cash sales
amounted TO 40 600 bushels New York re-
ported thirty lone loads
Corn lost 1-3c today and closed at the
bottom. May 81 IA, and July 81 IS. The
assumption was throughout the day that
the selling was from that interest which
has been credited with being the active
one on the bull side for so long There
was not so good a shipping demand sales
here possibly 200, 900 bushels but Just be-
fore the close the seaboard was reporting
65 loads for export. Liverpool was SD TO
I'D lower. Receivers quite generally re-
ported Nebraska offerings freer. The in
spection was 609 cars. with $50 for tomor-
row. The seaboaTd clearances were ga 900
bushels The liquidation has been on so
large a scale, and the selling side 70 popu-
lar. the bulls show some Encouragement
Oats closed barely 1sc under Monday.
There is an element that feels that the oats
discount under corn is as large as it will
be. and there is more or less talk of the
very small stocks East-only 1870 900 bush
els at New York Receipts here were 80
ears with 125 for tomorrow. Exports con
tinue light, only 5000 bushels today.
Provisions were very active ard unset
tied. May pork took a sharp jump on de-
mand from shorts. This bulge was lost On
realizing sales and heavy long liquidation
OF ribs and lard by the same interest that
bought pork. which caused a sharp decline
from which there was a slight recovery
the market closing quiet Packers were the
principal buyers OF ribs and lard. The cash
demand was fair.

NEW YORK March 20.-Operations in
Third Avenue street railway stock absorb
ed attention in Wall Street today. The an
nouncement made public this morning of
the acquisition Of the Third Avenue prop
erty by the Metropolitan Street Railway
was. Of course. the cause underlying the
sensational movements in the stock. In
addition. it goes almost without saying.
that the dealings reflected something ap-
preaching bear panic. Specifically con-
sidered, it has been a reasonable and safe
speculative proposition to be short of Third
Avenue stock, and there were abundant
evidences today. there have been for
some time that this view of the case had
appealed 10 an undue proportion of the
speculative public. The constant purchases
of the stock, which have really been in the
interest of the Metropolitan Street Rail
way Company. were, up TO this morning,
generally regarded as simple manipulation
against the short account. This view OF
the matter was not only not discouraged,
but industriously fostered
Furthermore. operations for the short
account in the stock have been more or
less encouraged by the facility with which
it could be borrowed. and, up TO this
morning there were few persons who sup
posed that the Metropolitan Street Rail-
way would purchase the control Of the
property under any circumstances The
definite issue Of the matter resulted. as al
ready noted in sensational price move
ments in Third Avenue. The companys
affairs undoubtedly assumed an entirely
different aspect by reason Of the change OF
ownership. Great economies in operation
are made possible through the Metropoli-
tan's control. while the great resources of
the purchasing company will undoubtedly
simplify the reorganization of the Third
Avenue system.
The advance in Third Avenue started
covering movement in the rest OF the
market. through which number of ex-
ceedingly rapid advances were scored,
particularly in those stocks in which the
bearish commitments were the most ex-
teDsive. In this movement Brooklyn Rapid
Transit advanced over seven points. while
Metropolitan rose over eleven points
There were also noteworthy movements in
other stocks: Peoples Gas. American To-
bacco. Continental Tobacco, and Baltimore
and Ohio. With the elimination OF the
more urgent buying for the short account,
the trading fell away, in respect to ac-
tivity. but the market retained firm tone
throughout the day. Aside from the de-
velopments in Third Avenue affairs, there
was very little OF particular or general
Importance to engage attention.

a point or two below the level Of such
established dividend payers as Union Pa
cific preferred, Northern Pacific preferred.
and Norfolk and Western preferred. AS
yet II has received no dividend whatever.
and although the earnings of the COM
pany are immense and the prospect of a
dividend excellent, there are many other
securities that are more attractive to con-
sentative spectators. The advance is due
largely to clique buying, and 1t cannot be
said how far 1t may go, but many look
for an important reaction in the near
future
