NEW YORK, March 15.--Accordng to the
alternating movement of the stock market
which has become noticeable this week,
prices should nave advanced today in re-
versal OF the late decline Of yesterday; AS
a matter of fact, a tendency toward re-
coVery became family perceptible N tne
market after some early extension Of yes
tCrday's decline. There was not suficient
motive power in the volume OF transaess
lions however, to give the movement OF
prices much Roadway. The recovery was
also impedcd by the continued liquidation
n some of the public utilities stock. The
dizziness of the market was SO extreme
that for long periods not single transac-
ton was recorded on the tape; Inc con-
timed collapse in the Chicago Union lIac-
ton shares caused some anxiety as to pos
sible consequences where these securities
might figure as basis for credits. The re-
lapse In Peoples Gas was regarded as sym
pathetic partly on account of liquidation
induced by the fall in the traction shares
and partly by the sentimental effect of the
evidence offered Of the disastrous conse-
quences possible from hostile municipal ac-
ton. Along the same lines was the report
that railroad officials both of western and
eastern lines are discussing the advisability
of voluntary rate reduction as a conces-
sion to public opinion and a possible means
Of averting some of the proposed measures
of restriction or regulation OF corporations

CHICAGO March 15.-Improved demand
for -four and cash wheat at outside grain
centers, together with an estimate of de-
tina, caused strength today in the local
wheat market. At the close the May OPP

were 71kq121sc higher.
Despite the continuance of favorable
States the market was strong all day. At
the opening the market was strengthened
by Arm cables and small receipts in the
northwest, AS the session advanced prices
acquired trmness through reports from out
side markets. Late in the day bulls were
given additional encouragement by an es-
innate which showed a decrease of more
than 100000 bu. in the exports from Argcn-
tina, as compared with the total movement
The May option opened &C higher at 77sSc,
sold up to 7Slsc and closed at 77%qUIsc
July ranged between 77@c and &c, and
77Ac. Clearances Of wheat and flour were
equal to $4,000 Blu. Primary receipts were
$4,000 hu., compared with $4,000 bu year
ported receipts Of 256 cars, against 3l5 cars
last week and 2lS cars year ago.
Active covering by shorts resulted in a
hrm tone in the corn market. An advance
of 1kGI1c in the price of cash corn and the
small movement from the country were the
principal causes Of the demand. The mar,
ket closed strong. The May option opened
nc higher at 4sAc sold up to 4ssSc and
closed ls at tSgS 81 receipts
Oats were firm on an active demand by
commission houses and cash buyers. The
strength of wheat and corn also influenced
prices May opened a shade TO h6kc higher
at 29sk6l29kc, advanced to 293s@30c and
closed at 297sc Local receipts were small,
numbering but 80 cars.
Provisions were firm for the greater part
of the day, but the volume of trading was
not large. Early IN the day prices were
inclined to sag because OF an easier market
for live hogs. Later, however, the market
became firmer on a fair demand by local
packers Al the close May pork was NJ
i2lkc at SISSY. Lard was up 567hc az
S7.S5d7S714. Ribs were Thq10c higher AZ

Estimated receipts for tomorrow are as
follows: Wheat 4 cars; corn, l47 cars; oats

SHEEP-The market this morning was
in about the same condition that 1t has
been in all this week and there is very
little to be added to what has already
been said in these columns regarding the
trade: Packers every day select out
few loads of sheep and lambs, such as
they need TO fill their orders and leave
the rest. II goes without saying that they
select the very best and for these they
pay prices that show little change from
day to day. Thus $500 was paid this morn
ing for the same lambs that brought S6.6
on Monday and Tuesday. Some OF the hes:
ewes sold up to S5.25, which was very little
different from the first OF the week. At
the same time 1t would hardly be correct
TO say that good to choice sheep and lambs
are about steady because orders are limited
to such an extent that stun Just AS good
as that which sold had hard work TO find
buyer. Medium to pretty decent kinds
OF both sheep and lambs are very much
neglected and with them 1t Is not 80 much
a matter of price as of finding a buyer.
while the tendency on the best kinds IL
downward, the actual decline for the week
Is not very heavy, but the medium or plain
KINDS are in many cases as much as ESQ
4Oc lower than Monday.
