NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Support Which is Still in Evidence
Shows Signs of Strain.
TENDENCY TOWARD REACTION
Values Yield on PrORt Taking, but
Recovery Ensues Later in
the Day-Bonds Are
Heavy.

NEW YORK. March 25-The support OF
prices which was still in evidence. tooay
showed signs of strain and liner there W,,rrsd was
without any change In the character OF tne
news, although there was the inevitaple
which always comes to those active in the
stock market when the course OF prices
Is altered T.
ference that the increase in the outside
demand for stocks yesterday, which was
beyond dispute, was taken arVantaBe OF 70
sell stocks on a large scale by those VINO
had accumulated holdings at previous lower
levels. The expansion In volume OF yes
terday's market was suggestive, also, OF
the carrying out Of measures TO secure
profits. Prices touched at the extreme OF
the advance yesterday were the hlghest
IN many INSTANCES since the 10 az
elimination of an advance made the pro-
fessional mood suspicious of the market
today and this feeling was added to by the
for the rise to the department OF low priced
stocks, especially In the industrial class.
The issuance of the presidents special mes
sage to congress marks the limits of influ-
ence of that event as purely speculatiYe
factor. large part OF the activity IN
stocks for over a week past has been con-
nected with the constant reports emanating
from Washington Of the preparations for
this document. The Washington reports
covering the preparation of the message
prove to have been so accurate and so well
informed that opportunity has been given
TO take action corresponding TO tne steps
reached in the consultations over the mes
sage as fast as they were taken. Some
aggravation of the reaotionary tendency
was caused by the report of the probable
calling of an extra session Of the Mime
sofa state legislature to attempt cor
rection of the faults found by the United
States supreme court In its railroad rate
law
In the industrial section of the stock list
there were some striking movements, the
further rise in Consolidated Gas being
based on the effects attributed to the su-
preme court decision on the company 8
contention against efforts to restrict Its
rates for gas. The maintenance of the
American Locomotive dividends helped an
other group of industrials. Statements of
earnings of the Vanderbilt railroads for
January are Of interest for the effects
shown from retrenchment of operating ex-
penses which was not sufficient, however,
to prevent continued shrinkage in the net
returns. hardening of money rates
abroad was an incident of the day. In
terest rates here, however, continued 10
yield and increasing difficulty is found in
placing large sums on time. The stock
market was relieved by the extent of the

CATTLE-The upward movement in
cattle values was continued again today
with moderate receipts reported at all
selling points. Locally the trade was in a
good, healthy condition, and anything in the
way Of good killers or feeders met with
very ready sale.
Representatives of packing houses as
buyers on shipping account, were all out in
the yards early this morning and by 8
o'clock cattle were moving over the scales.
The trade continued reasonably active until
pretty much everything had changed hands
which was by 10 o'clock in the morning.
Prices on medium to good beef steers were
generally 10c higher, some of the medium
kinds of cattle showing even more advance
than the best. The market was in very
satisfactory condition from start to finish
as viewed form q sellers standpoint.
What has been said regarding beef steers
would apply equally we'll to cows and heifers
which were fully 10c higher with some
statesmen quoting their sales as much as
15o higher. She advance was limited
largely to the fair TO choice grades OF
cattle, Common Gamers and inferior stuff
of all kinds was not much sought after.
Good feeders sold freely at strong prices.

SHEEP-From the report of the receipts
II might be inferred that there was a
large business doing in sheep at this point
today, but as a matter of fact, barring nine
cars, tho supply consisted entirely OF Colo
radios, all of them billed through to eastern
points and in charge of men who had no
Idea of offering them on the market at
ready sale at prices that were steady to a
little stronger than yesterday. Thus good
western lambs sold up to N.75, while a
feeder buyer paid $50 for lambs to be
shorn and finished for the market. As a
matter of course these lambs were carrying
a good amount OF flesh. AS showing the
rapidity with which the market has ad-
vanced Il might be mentioned that these
same lambs sold March IL at IS. On the
18th, that was on Wednesday of last week,
they brought 81 and on the 18th they sold
up to $40, as against t7.6o today. There
were no choice loads OF wooled sheer, or
few head of little yearlings thrown out
OF a load OF lambs sold UP to T.8. Shorn
yearlngs and wethers brought 1876, the
same as sold yesterday at $500 There
were no right good ewes, but some decent
kinds OF stuff sold at $610

Grain values, although narrow and some
what dull, are holding firm At the high
points. Higher Liverpool cables and re-
ports OF drOuth In Kansas and southern
wheat section become the sustaining
power.
Wheat opened steady and firm on highor
cables and made some advance later, influ-
enced by the bullish reports from the south
and higher Argentina shipments. The mar
ket was a dull affair throughout and prices
had little range. May wheat opened at
9Shc and closed at 92%c.
Corn opened steady to higher and held
firm, with firm cables and much more mod
crate receipts being the influence, May
corn opened at 6O5sc and closed at sic.
Oats opened very strong on general de-
mand, with no oats for sale, and the mar
ket soon became dull, with no interest
shown. May oats opened at bO9tc ana
closed at 5OAc.

CHICAGO, March 2S.--iWheat prices on

the new crop IN the sonthwes'i OUT es ~ AT orn or1

visions were unchanged to a shade higher:
The slump in the wheat market occurred
late in the day, following considerable firm
ness earlier in the session Pit traders were
bearishly inclined throughout the entire day.
owing to reports emanating in the SOUTH
west, which claimed that the fall-sown crop
was In good condition; but offerings from
this source were not sufficient TO cause
any decline until augmented during the final
hour by heavy sales by several leading COM
mission houses This combined selling pres
sure caused sharp decline when the mar
ket failed TO rally. The early strength was

OF demand for cash wheat here was an
additional depressing factor late In the DAY.

Chicago reported receipts OF 20 cars, against
sg7 cars last week and 334 cars one year ago.
The corn market was strong during the
greater part Of the session, but weakened
late In the day on heavy realizing safes.
THE slump In wheat was partly responsible
for the late declines. Firm cables ana con-
tInued small receipts were the CHIEF bulllsh
infiuences. Commission houses were the
principal buyers. The market closed weak

Hogs sold up to IS today, the highest price

A feature of the market is the evident
reluctance Of packers to see prices advance,
and they are without exception acting on
the bear side of the deal. In other words,
they are paying the prices under protest,
as Il were, and are very much inclined 10
hang back until forced to raise their bids.
Thus II is that the late market Is apt TO
be little easier than the early and late
arrivals are as a consequence very apt TO
suffer more or less neglect
