was manifested, May wheat closing hdAc
lower, corn down 1sc and oats off 1ac. Pro-
visions ruled about steady and closed from
sc to 1Od1219c higher.
The trading in wheat was exceedingly
dull. many operators being disposed to
wait for the government report of grain in
farmers hands. Expectations that this re-
port would be of a bearish character caused
selling throughout the day. The opening
was firm steady cables, and May was
unchanged to 1sc higher at 741aQ745sc, but
the early firmness was soon lost, there be-
ing little support of any Importance. Evil
dences of worlds shipments for the week
of 100000 bu and an Increase of 100000 blu
in the amount on passage caused added
weakness. and May sold down to 74c.
Buying by commission houses late in the
day caused a rally, but the close was 80
Ac lower at 74lAQ7issc. Clearances of
wheat and flour were equal TO 2S5,000 bu.
Primary receipts were $4,000 blu, against
437, 600 a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported receipts of 36S cars. which. with
local receipts of 81 cars, none of contract
grade,- made a total of 392 cars, against 297
last week and 37S year ago.
Strong cables and unfavorable weather
for the movement caused strength in corn
at the opening. but the early advance was
not maintained, the same influence that
affected wheat being responsible for the
decline. Estimates tndt the government re-
port would show a farmers reserve of
nearly billion bushels resulted in con-
siderable selling by local traders. Outside
of this feature the market dull. The
close was easier. with May off &c at 4736
471hc, after selling between 47Ac and 47sI8
477sc. Receipts were 1874 cars. of contract
grade.
There was fair trade in oats and early
prices were firm in sympathy with wheat
and corn but later the market reacted
under the influence OF the depression in
other grains and the close was weak May
closed nc lower at 34ssG34;zc, after rang
ing between 1850 and 35c. Receipts were

Provisions were firm, though there was
not the bulish enthusiasm manifested in
the market that would naturally be ex-
pected in view of the small run of hogs
and from 10a15c advance in prices at the
yards Commission houses were fair buy
ers at the outset, but the big holders were
disposed to take profits. and this selling
had tendency to depress prices. The
close was steady, with May pork 7Izc

NEW YORK, March 10.-The movements
in to-day's market were more irregular and
feverish than have been noted for some
time IT opened lower and was influenced
particularly by London quotations for
Americans. and the apprehension which was
still felt as To the outcome of the bad feel
ing between Union Pacific and the Southern
Pacific pool. The first hour showed a con-
tinuation of the selling pressure and the
market weakened. The bad feature was
the selling OF the standard stocks, such as
New York Central. Pennsylvania and the
like. and the sharpest breaks in the recent
downward movement We're noticeable New
York Central declined three points South
ern Pacific two. Union Pacific two and the
rest of the list lost all the advance of yes

and the continued attacks on standard is

the list. On every decline they seemed 10

excellent support on the declines The
break of ten points i'm Ice preferred and the

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
TOO MUCH RAIN OPERATES AS A
CHECK TO BUSINESS.
Muddy Country Roads Also a Deter
rent InAuence-Produce Markets
Are Easier, Grain Markets Light.

Too much rain is affecting the local mar
kets and business is disappointing in sew
eral lines. Dry-goods houses feel 1t the
retail dry-goods merchant should begin to
stock up, and as prices are advancing on
certain lines it is surprising that business
is not more active. The wholesale mer-
chants say that all that is needed to make
business good is some clear weather and
the drying up of the mud in the country
roads Retail merchants all carry light
stocks wishing to get the latest styles in
the way of prints and other lines. On Com
mission row the weather does not cut so
much figure. Prices of apples have been
reduced to such an extent that they are
free movers, and the accumulated stocks
are being cut down. Irish potatoes are in
abundant supply, but the demand being
good prices are well held. The same re-
mark will apply to sweet potatoes. Onions
and cabbage are easy at quotations. The
produce markets are weaker. For
the first time in several months poultry
is declining. Arrivals are increasing and
prices are weak. Eggs are coming In more
freely and prices are weak at the reduc-
ton of Monday. Choice butter is In good
request, but receipts are increasing, and
lower prices are likely to follow. Cheese
is i'm good request and prices are firm.
Flour carries an easy tone, being affected
by the weaker tone in wheat Cerealine
products rule steady and firm at the quo
tations of some weeks past. The sugar
situation has been partly righted by the
recent advances Coffees are steady at
former figures. Navy beans are easier and
in better supply. The drug market con-
paints are large and linseed oil has taken
on a steadier tone. Other articles In the
drug line are firm and moving freely. The
iron and steel market is more active. Trav-
cling statesmen are sending in good orders.
