March notwithstanding. $50; shipments small.
The marketing Of cattle this week has been Of
only fair volume, showing decrease of $50
compared with last week. 500 compared with the
same week year ago and an increase of $50
over the corresponding week two years ago.
Thus far this year the receipts are over 300
smaller than the same period last year and for
the month thus far there is an increase of nearly
1900 over the same period last year. The con-
ditions in the market this week have made
any great change compared with the close of
last week. At the beginning of the week the
tendency in all departments rather easier.
but barely enough butcher cattle were coming
to meet the demand and they showed more
strength than steers. The first half of the week
with little or no inquiry from outside sources
the fat steers. especially those weighing around
1900 lbs and upward. suffered a decline of 1OG15c
compared with the close of last week. but with
all buyers in the field later in the week sales
men succeeded in regaining practically all of
the early loss. At current prices. however, 1t
was very difficult to consummate sales and the
market for the good heavy steers continues very
unsatisfactory and disappointing to the trade.
There was an unusually brisk demand for stock
and feeding cattle most of the week and
strong prices prevailed generally. while frequent
ly there no doubt some advance The mar
ket for butcher cattle was also all that could
have been expected. The supplies were barely
large enough to accommodate local killers and
there was active request at all times. which kept
values In high position they have been
at any time recently; in fact. ii was not un-
common to hear of sales of hefers 25c higher
than last week. The strong demand for feeders
was responsible for better market for the
fairly fat cattle weighing from 900 to LOO lbs

have paid had there been no urgent competition
The highest prices reported this week were
$50 for steers S. for heifers. $4.25 for cows
A.25 for bulls and IS for calves. The receipts
to-day fully as large expected at this
time in the week, but of course there not a
complete variety. Most Of the arrivals were
butcher stock and they were taken promptly by
local dealers at steady prices compared with
those current yesterday. Heifers sold high

GRAINS ARE VERY WEAK
MORE THAN CENT KNOCKED OFF
THE PRICE OF WHEAT.
Corn Down Nearly N Cent and Oats
More Than a HaIf-LOsses in Pro-
visions I'm sympathy with Cereals.

CHICAGO. March 2.-The grain markets
were decidedly weak to-day. and lower
prices were realized. May wheat closing IA
disc lower. corn of zq1c and oats down
sc. Provisions closed easy from to 121kc
lower.
Dizziness prevailed in wheat and the sem
timent was extremely bearish, the price OF
May declining at one time nearly 1Izc and
closing near the bottom. May was of &c
to l49asc at the start. opening at 73s4q737sc
to 1850. under the influence of favorable
weather. the predicted cold wave not hav-
ing materialized TO the extent of doing any
damage to the growing crop. A good deal
of wheat bought yesterday under the ex-
pectations of colder weather was offered
for sale at the opening, but the demand
was limited and the market rapidly de-
clined. Considerable long wheat came out
on the decline, which added to the weak
ness, and the closing hour of the session
was exceedingly weak. Final figures on
May were 1hQ1ssc lower. at 72%4Q727sc, after
the price had touched 72%c. Clearances of
wheat and flour were equal to $4,000 blu.
Primary receipts were $4,000 Blu. against
447.3Oo a year ago. Minneapolis and Du-
luth reported receipts of 179 cars, which,
with local receipts of Is cars-one of con-
tract grade-made a total of 1877 cars,
against 81 last week and 2S5 a year ago.
Corn was weak, influenced by improved
weather conditions and sharp break in
wheat Local traders who carried long
lines over night were anxious sellers and
there was also considerable commission
house selling on outside account The vol
ume OF business was light. The close was
at the lowest, with May at 437sc, loss of
HQlc, after selling between 437sc and 44Ac.
Receipts were 146 cars, two of contract
grade.
There was only a light trade in oats and
no features of Importance developed The
local sentiment was bullish, but the severe
declines In wheat prevented any buying of
account and lower prices ruled. The close
was weak, with May Sac lower, at 33%c,
after ranging between 33ssc and 34Ac. Re-
ceipts were 25I cars.
Provisions were strong early on smaller
receipts OF hogs and an advance of &c to 10c
In prices at the yards, but selling by COM
mission houses caused a reaction Later In
the day a hrmer feeling was manifested on
good foreign demand for lard, but the
weakness In grains had a depressing infu-
ence and the close was easy, with May pork
on &c, at $3.50; lard down 121zc, at S10.0215,
and ribs 10q121kc lower. at $9S21k.
Estimated receipts on Monday-Wheat, 40
cars; corn, 1S5; oats, 235; hogs, $1,000 head.

Elk. United States deposits, increase 2167, l5O
The banks now hold &c. $50. 400 in excess of
reserve requirements under the 25 per cent
rule; ex. United States deposits, $13,327 1900
The Financier says: THE striking fea-
ture of the official statement of the New
York Associated Banks last week was q
further important loan contraction, follow
ing that which has been in progress since
the maximum on record was reached on
Feb. q. and as the result of such contrac-
ton a decided decrease in deposits, through
which reserve requirements were lessened
thereby enabling the banks, notwithstand-
ing the loss Of cash during the week, to
augment the surplus reserve. The loans
were decreased last week s12, 953, 900, making
$3S, 661 300 since Feb. q. There was a re-
duction in cash of $1,713,5O0, or $1,133, 800
more than was estimated from the trace
able movements of money during the week
The deposits were decreased $15,4 AIS, 600
making So, $50. 800 since Feb. 81. The re-
quired reserve was reduced $3.50, 900, and
deducting from this sum the 81, 500 loss
cr c~~h. left s2,156.400 the increase in
surplus reserve, carrying this item to
$50 .uJ. computations made on the basis
of deposits less $40. 22S, 400 of those of public
funds, show surplus of 49, 500 1t is
noteworthy that the loans of the banks
were $40. $4,000 in excess of deposits, against
IS 37S 400 in the previous week. and twenty
three individual banks, among which num-
Der are those having the largest capital
and surplus, are loaning amounts exceed
ing their deposits; this simply shows con-
ditions peculiar to the situation, and IL
does not indicate impairment in any sense
Though the clearing house does not recog-
nze in it's statements, except incidentally,
the permissible elimination of reserve re-
uuirements against government deposits, it
seems clear that some of the individual
banks are taking advantage of the per-
mission given by the secretary of the trea s.
ury and take no account of reserve against
public deposits"

prices this week than for some time past but.
Notwithstanding this there has been very little
net gain or loss. The quality at all times cut
outside sources. usual, a good influence.
The early part of the week statesmen had to de-
supplies and there was a gradual but decided
reduction in values. On "Wednesday aggre-
gate loss of 10c to 15c had been sustained, but
from that time until the close of the week the
market rallied rapidly and with a better outlet
regained and the average at the close OF
this week is fully as high as the close of last
hogs have been marketed. but there was also a
scarcity of prime heavy grades. so that the aver
age weight was not great deal If any heavier.
On account of the presence of a few loads of
certain class of hogs that usually come TO mar
ket at this season of the year the range in
was s765. and throughout the week there was
15c to zoe difference between the top price for
heavy hogs and light. The receipts to-day were
larger than recently on Saturday and show an
increase of nearly LOCO over week ago and
1.5O0 over year ago. In a general way the
quality not quite good yesterday.
but there was no change to note in the best
fair demand from all buyers and with reason
ably active competition between packers and
shippers the trading from the beginning was
active and prices were generally reported steady
