STEADY FALL in PRICES
STOCK SPECULATION HATS AND
HOLDINGS ARE CLOSED OUT.
Decline Is Persistent, with Few
Pauses Only, but No Rallfes-Money
Conditions the Cause.

NEW YORK. March A-The stock mar
ket made no Roadway to-day against the
encouragement of holders Of securities,
and was weak from start to finish, with
Only a difference in the degree of weak
ness from time to time. There was sharp
break in prices at the opening due to the
unloading Of stocks in blocks as result
of selling orders accumulated over night.
After that there was some pause In the
downward movement, but at the close the
selling movement had become very active
again and prices ended the lowest and on
a rapidly descending scale.
The principal cause of the feeling Of dis
enlargement was the lack of promise OF
an ameioration Of money conditions. APP
parently the interior is making renewed
demand on New York for funds, now that
the attractive high money rates are not
fully maintained here. New York exchange
at Chicago has slipped back to par. Bank
ers in New York express the opinion that
the West has its own uses for money and
is likely to continue to have. Very active
business, enormous holdings of grain, due
TIC the delayed movement, an active specu-
lation in the corn market and the Western
land speculations are all cited elements
of this demand. The hope Of a spring re-
hux OF funds to New York is not so con-
fidently held as 1t was last week and the
light speculation based on this hope is be-
ing closed out. The subtreasury Is renew
ing its drain on the money market and
has taken from the banks since Friday
$69S, 900. compared with sl2S,000 in the cor
responding period of last week. The April
1 settlements in New England are expect
ed to cause some demand on New York.
The new low record made to-day for Brit
ish ccnsols was affected also by selling
Of these securities for American account.
At the time of the last issue of consols
1t was urged in their behalf by the Ameri-
can subscribers that their holdings would
constitute ready means Of control of the
exchange market. This would explain the
drop in Sterling Exchange this week, COM
pared with the strength last week.
A break in the copper market helped to
weaken Amalgamated. A temporary adj
vance Of a point in Southern Pacific was
attributed to a demand for election pur-
poses.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales. at
par value were sl,54O,OO0. United States
bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

For the week thus far the receipts of cattle
show decrease OF over 100 from the same time
last week and over 500 compared with the corre-

were quite small showing decrease of over
200 compared with week ago and 500 compared
with year ago. All grades were not repre-
scented. and usual for some time past butcher
stock and light to medium steers predominated
In the consignments. The quality generally was
good the average recently, but not ex-
fraordinary. The market opened with a very
good request especially from local killers. for
butcher cattle and lightweight steers, and In
these departments the trading quite active
at strong prices. Occasionally sales appeared
to be q trife higher. but while the supply seemed
TO be hardly enough to accommodate the demand
buyers were not inclined to pay advance over
the comparatively high prices prevailing for
this class of stock. II any difference the cows
showed little more strength than heifers to-
day. but 1t will be remembered that they have
not gained as much recently as heifers, and
therefore there was some occasion for more

provement to quote for that class. Those that
were here. however. sold usually at last weeks

were usually at last weeks closing prices. A

Persistent Selling from Unknown
Sources-Bad Monetary Conditions.

Meyer & Kiser's telegram
NEW YORK, March A.-Nothing oc-
CURED over night, or, for that matter, to-
day, of any alarming nature to disturb con-
fidence, yet there was persistent selling Of
the general market from start to finish to-
day. The selling was difficult to trace, but
a number of well-informed persons believe
it emanated largely from Mr.. Keene's or
ders. Southern Pacific was the best sup
ported stock and shows but fractional
loss, while the active list shows losses Of
one to two points. The new stock issue of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, which was ex-
pected to be authorized to-day, was sup
posed to have been the cause of the selling
in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia houses were
the heaviest sellers. New Haven directors
met to-day to discuss the demands of the
employees, and the answer will be presented
to the men tomorrow. 1t was reported
that the employees of the Manhattan Ele-
waited lines had sent their final ultimatum
asking for increased pay and a cut in their
working hours. This threatening attitude
of labor caused feeling of disquietude
among the holders of securities and some
selling was noticeable through commission
houses. The banks lost through subtreas-
ury operations since last Friday 100000
and the high rates of money still continue
to have a deterrent influence on the mar
ket Sterling exchange declined quite
sharply but did not help to check the SELL
ing movement.

LOSSES ON ALL GRAINS
LIQUIDATION AND SHIFTING OF &C.
COUNTS INDUCE DECLINES.
Wheat Down 3-4c, Corn 5-Sc and 3-4c
and Oats More Than a Cent-Hos
Products Also Down.

CHICAGO, March 24.-Quite general liqui-
dation in the grain pits caused weakness
in all the markets, and May wheat closed
&c lower, corn down %q%c and oats 1ssc
lower. Provisions were weak and closed
5Q71kc to 221zc down.
There was liberal liquidation of May
wheat and that option ruled weak, while
July was quite firm, with fair demand for
the latter. Opening prices were firm on
steady cables and on covering by shorts,
who were somewhat alarmed on account of
the colder weather. May being hQAc to
AQ%c higher, at 73Q7shc. After the first
half hour the news became bearish, ad-
vices from abroad being discouraging, and
there was general disposition to sell May,
with some changing from May to July,
which resulted in a gradual decline in the
nearby month. The small decrease In the
worlds visible supply and weakness in the
outside markets added to the depression,
and with no show Of support May sold of
to 717sc. Covering by shorts caused a slight
rally late In the day, but May closed &c
lower, at 72Q72hc. Clearances of wheat
and -four were equal to $4,000 bushels. Pri-
mary receipts were $4,000 bushels, against
AL 600 a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported receipts of 145 cars, which with
local receipts of thirty-seven cars, none of
contract grade, made a total of 1S2 cars,
against 270 last week and 374 year ago.
Corn was quite active all day, but after a
little f1rmness at the start the market de-
veloped weakness and lower prices ruled.
The opening was firm on higher cables and
in sympathy with wheat, but May longs
were disposed to liquidate, and with only a
moderate demand that delivery became
weak July held relatively firm. being at a
premium over May at one time. There was
considerable changing from May to July.
which was largely responsible for the better
tone of the more distant option. May closed
&c lower, at 427sG43c. after ranging between
csc and 437sc. Receipts were 24s cars none
of contract grade.
There was heavy liquidation In Nav oats
by tired holders, while there was also con
siderable changing to the July delivery. AS
a result Of this selling movement the near
by month was extremely weak, but July
held fairly steady. Offerings were taken
mainly by shorts and there was little efforf
made to support the market. May closed
lac lower, at 31%Qs17sc, after selling he
tween 31ssc and 32hc. Receipts were 329
cars.
In spite OF strong hog market provisions
opened barely steady, and the early weak
ness was augmented later by selling by
brokers and in sympathy with Rrains
Trading was fairly large. but mostly local.
