WHEAT MARKET
 CLOSES STRONG Gains for the Day Are More
 Than One Cent DEMAND ESPECIALLY GOOD Wet Weather In the Corn Belt Causes an Advance In Corn, Which Closes
 Firm-Oats Are Steady.
 Provisions Weak.

Chicago, March 24.-Wheat prices ad- vanced from 1 to cents here today on account of active covering by shorts based on bullish foreign advces. The market closed strong at net gains for the day of s4d11kc Corn closed firm; oats steady; provisions weak.
 The wheat market was strong all day, although there were slight reactions at times owing to liberal realizing sales. The strength was due almost entirely to sharp advances at nearly all the leading grain centers of Europe, brought out by re- ported poor outlook for the French crop, the low grading of Argentine wheat arriv- ing at Liverpool, and by disquieting re- ports regarding the situation in the Bal kans. Shorts were lively bidders through out the entire session, and there was also active buying by commission houses for outsiders The May delivery was in es- pecialy good demand, and displayed the greatest strength the price shortly after the opening reaching $1.1SA only Ac below the high point established on the recent advance, and Pc above the previous close Domestic news was bearish, rains being reported over a large section of the win ter wheat belt. Demand for cash wheat and flour was also said to be at stand still, and primary receipts were liberal During the day May ranged between $1.165s and $1.1SA. The market closed steady and strong, with May at s1.17SsQ 117a4, and July S1.043s.
 Wet weather in the corn belt was large ly responsible for a strong market for corn. although the bulge in wheat and falling off in local receipts also had some bullish influence The market closed firm at a net gain for the day of as61ac, May being at 667kc and July at 66c.
 Trade in oats was quiet and the market displayed only moderate firmness, reports of favorable conditions for seeding in the southwest tending to offset strength of wheat and corn. Late advances indicated an immense acreage will be sown to oats this season.
 The market closed steady with prices shade lower to 1sQAc higher, compared with yesterdays close, May being at 54ss @54&c and July at 4S3sc.
 Increased receipts of live hogs at west ern packing centers prompted consider able realizing sales of provisions; at the close prices were 10@15 points below the previous close.

LIGHT ADVANCE / IN STOCK MARKET Operations Are Controlled By the Professional Element SOME STOCKS STRONGER Balkan Troubles Combined With An thracite Labor Question Prevent
 Any Great Advance In Any
 Leading Stocks.
SOME STOCKS STRONGER

New York, March 24.-In the absence of positive developments affecting property values in the news, operators in stocks today acted largely on deductions from the negative side The operations were almost wholly in the hands of the small professionals, and therefore were uninter- esting. The fact that the violent break in the local traction shares had not re- suited in bringing on the market any considerable quantity of other shares was accepted as indicative of the good resist ing power of the market. With this proof that prices were not ready to go down, the room traders took the alterna- tive and tried to make them go up. Foreigners also had a hand in causing the early heaviness, sales for London amount ing to several thousand shares.
 A renewal of uneasiness over the polit- ical situation in the Balkans was report ed from various financial cclters abroad. Aside from the immediate anxieties caused by the periodical crisis in the Bal kan question, tho prospect that hnal settlement is likely to be delayed discour- ages the taking of a definite speculative nosition in the markets. It is the belief in the continued unsettling influence of this, together with various other questions, which is keeping the stock market ac- tivity at a low stage
 The anthracite labor question was viewed today in rather cheerful frame of mind, and assertions were current that a way had been found for settlement which would appear in the course Of the day. Something was made also of the rumors of large sales of refined copper yesterday. Efforts to substantiate these rumors in any authoritative quarters met with failure, although some moderate in crease in demand for copper in the last few days was claimed. The price of the metal was marked down again in London today.
 The reported return of a capitalist lately active in the market of number or railroads was of some strengthening et- feet on a few stocks as his rumored Ill., ness yesterday was supposed to endanger the completing of some of the projects which he is credited with intending. The check to the gold export movement to Tondon which has resulted in a fall in foreign exchange rates, has>come earlier, and with less firmness in the local money market as one of the checking factors than was expected The supplies of funds in London seems grown so abundant that banking authorities find it difficult to keep money rates up to the point neces- sary to insure continuance of the ln- flow of gold. Gold bars bespoken at the assay office today were supposed to be for Argentina. Discounts were lower to- day in London, and aside from the tenn porary requirements for the April settle

COTTON MARKET
 CLOSES HIGHER Fluctuations Are Narrow and
 Tone Is Steady CLOSING FIGURES BEST Southern Spot Markets Are Reported Unchanged and Sales Are Rather Larger With Buying From
 Liverpool.

New York. March 24.-The cotton market was quiet today with nuctua- tions narrow and the tone generally steady. The close was very steady at net advance of to 4 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad vance of 1 to points in response to Liverpool buying and a continuation of yesterdays late covering movement but after showing a net advance of 3 to 1 points eased off to about the final ngures of yesterday, under local bear pressure and liquidation promoted by lower cables than expected, unfavorable advices from Manchester. reports of rain in Texas, and talk of freer spot offerings. There seemed to be con siderable support on the decline and With offerings light, the market held steady during the afternoon. while in the last hour renewal of demand from Liverpool houses imparted firmer tone 10 the market, the close being Just about the best prices of the day. The Liverpool buying Is still attributed to undoing of straddles between the two markets. Southern spot markets of hcially reported were unchanged, and according to private wires sales were rather larger, although it Is said that no important spot short interest Is be- ing uncovered for March shipment. The official weather bulletin from Calves ton reported rain, ranging from a trace to .5S-inch at IS stations in Texas and Oklahoma. The Texas forecast was for fair weather tonight, and tomorrow, While the eastern belt expects more rain.

Huhhard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, March Special. )-To- days market was a very narrow affair, with business much restricted and largely local in character. There was less demand for the May option which appears to be in fair supply from some of the larger spot houses. The mar ket had a rather heavy appearance in the early trading, but free buying of July apparently against sales in other markets afforded support whenever needed and prices remained within a narrow range. Later in the day the market was firmer on rumors of bet ter spot demand in New Orleans and some fair sales of actual cotton. Good rains were reported from northern Tex as. and these dispatches together with further cables from Manchester com blaming of a poor trade outlook, pre- vented any active outside buying. LAv- erpool should be a point or so better in the morning.
