 The decline probably resulted from a combination of profit taking and sell ing, shorts putting out new lines on for eign advices which suggested a fresh Teutonic offensive on the western front Moderate strength was manifested by few issues of relative unimportance, including minor metals, but the more general reversal of u close left the market decidedly heavyS
 Domestic developments embraced the February statement of the United States Steel corporation, showing a decrease IT thrilled tonnage of noEssAte 100000 tons, against the moderate Ease of the pre- ceding month.

were inclined to look for a more gen. eral domestic shipping call next week. In addition, receipts here showed some falling off in quantity, and there was a scarcity of cars. Under such circum- stances bears were handicapped through out the day and no reaction took place.
 Weekend evening up of trades strengthened oats. Receipts were meager and shorts seemed to have overexerted themselves selling in anticipation of the government crop report.
 Notice taken of the huge supply of cured meats in the west had bearish influence on provisions. The effect, how ever, soon wore off, largely as a result of increasing strength of quotations on hogs.

BAD WEATHER SENT
 UP PRICE OF CORN Oats Strengthen on Even ing Up of Traders, With

Chicago, March Slowing to unfavor- able weather and to the comparative scarcity of merchanta ble grades. the corn market today ga1ned i'll strength. Prices closed steady, 1sc higher, with March 1 2S and May, $.27ss. Oats finished Ac up. In provisions the outcome ranged from 2c decline to rise of 12c.
 As prevailing moisture and warmth ap- peared likely to diminish the available supply of corn suited for commercial purposes, the relative smallness of the total amount of such grain shown by the government crop report received good deal of attention. Besides traders

There was no change in the general character of the news and the diminishing volume of business is supposed to reflect the re- cent reduction in outstanding interest.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, March 9.-(Special )-Reai- izing orders have been the feature of the day, with the usual rally at the close on the near positions. This movement appeared to be based on the increas- ing inability to export and the rumors that the government did actually fix prices on many million yards of cotton gauge during the past 10 days. Those in the trade who have been identified with the recent advance did not give the market the support they did of late. Rain did not fall in Texas and through out the remainder of the cotton belt the weather is good for the preparation for the next crop.-Hubbard Bros. M

renewed confidence to traders who ia. vored lower prices. v
 Demand for trade account is met on a scale down, but market for the pres ent lacks sufficient support from that source to sustain prices. With existing reactionary feeling a somewhat further setback may occur, but unless the actual follows, still believe the decline will be only temporary.-E. F. Hutton & Co.,
 New York, March 9.-There was mod crate overnight selling on the opening which was taken by scattered buyers. The feature during the balance of the session was free selling by houses with Chicago connections, apparently on a re- port that a western congressman was about to introduce a cotton price fixing bill. These western contracts were taken by the spot people, Liverpool, new longs and shorts covering for the weekend, Locally, there is little fear of the price fixing bill getting through Congress on raw cotton though they might fix prices later on cotton goods.-Clevenburg.
