The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-03-10

Dizziness again was the feature of
the session in Wall street and the close
was without tendency. Early advances
were lost and closing prices showed
small and unimportant changes. Wheat
displayed a tendency to do better.
What the Brokers Say.
NJ. Doran & Co.'s Chicago grain let
ter says:
The markets were irregular. The
weakness was pronounced in coarse
grains and this depressed provisions.
Wheat. on the other hand, displayed a
strong tendency to do better. The ur-
gent liquidation appears to be over,
while in large grains it seems to be
only fairly started
Wheat-The weakness in corn and
oats and the forecast for some preeipi-
tation in the Southwest lost wheat an
other 1c near the opening. On decline
the buying was good and cash news
helped maintain a stronger tone. Ca
bIes were firm on light Argentine Of
feringS. Early cables reported the
strike situation unchanged, but late
ones claimed a settlement. Buffalo
millerS are paying the best premiums
of season for cash wheat, and Duluth
wheat for shipment at the opening of
navigation is lie higher than a week
ago. Duluth reports 10 loads and sea-
board II loads worked for export. The
map showed precipitation through the
Southwest. High winds and dust
storms reported by ST. Louis and Kan
sas City. The receipts of wheat in the
Southwest were $4,000 bu against
1000 a year ago, but increase is offset
by shipment of $4,000 blu.
CONTEMPLATION appeared in corn
shortly after opening and carried
prices off with a rush which lost May
and July about sc a bushel in very
few minutes of furious trading. While
prices braced up for a time and trade
became normal, the tone was weak
throughout. Liverpool was I'd high
er. The local cash market was u ole
a buShel lower for the better grades,
while the low grades ruled steady; o.
600 bushels of the contract quality
were transferred from private houses.
OatS-The market was quiet on the
whole but weak, with long stuff COM
ing out all day on firm spot The cash
market was lie a bushe1 lower: 100,-
600 bushels of the standard oats were
transferred from private houses
]. C. Geraghty & Cos correspondents
say of stocks:
Logan & Bryan-With the exeep-
ton of Peoples Gas, which sold off
on rumors that the supreme court de-
cision would be against the company,
there was not much doing anywhere
and not much change in prices. 1t is
just as dull and just as much waiting
market as heretofore. Nobody in Wall
street is advising operations on either
side of the market very confidently.
Dick 'Bros.-The market has been
very dull and narrow today. Early adj
vances were lost later and closing
prices showed very small and unim-
portant changes There was no news.
Some rather good selling was noted
in New York Central The market
closed dull and barely firm.
OConnor & Van Bergen's CORE
spondents say of stocks:
The market today has been exceed
ingly dull and narrow with periods OF
utter stagnation. Prices changed with
In small fractions, Influenced unfavor-
ably by continued pressure in Penn
sylvania and in Peoples Gas. Pro-
nounced heaviness in the grain mar
kets was ignored as factor affecting
our speculation and no news of i'm
pertance marketwise was Forthcoming.
The close was dull and feature1eSs .
