WHEAT TURNED QUIET AND LACKED FEATURETraders Inclined to Hesitate on the

VISIBLE DECREASE OF 778,000 BU.

.-Minneapolis.Chamber of Commerce, Marcn19.—Wheat opened %@&c higher this morn-ing, but met with selling pressure from ithestart. It was impossible to maintain It on ahigher level, yet no material break followed.The market sagged to yesterday's close, heldthere and fell into dullness.\ May opened at75H@75»«i
1 sold to 74%@75c, and held at 75®75%c. This relapse , into dullness was dis-appointing to traders who looked for a periodof activity to follow the late upturn. 'At noonto-day the market, although' on a higherrang*, was back into lines as narrow and hada general tone almost as dull as before therise last week. One thing calculated to dis-courage the trade, and especially the bullsfrom more aggressive efforts, is the tone ofindifference shown in Liverpool. That mar-
shows more than the usual degree ofIndependence at, present, and takes itschanges more from its local. conditions' orfrom other world factors, ignoring in goodpart the American price changes. On Sat-urday's advance Liverpool followed very re-luctantly and only in part, and our sub-sequent decline had about the same effect,bringing: at the best but a feeble response.Liverpool was *4 to %d lower this morning.
Continental markets were weak, Paris 5 to
10 centimes lower,. Berlin M and Budapest
%c lower. Primary receipts ran above ,' lastyear. At northwestern points receipts were*»7 oars against 714 last year. St. Louis hadC3.000 bushels, against 14,000, Kansas City«u,ih)o bushels against 35,000 last year. Theweather came in for a good share of atten-tion, -partly because of the absence of othernews of influence. ' From the southwest muchmoisture was reported. Minnesota and the1>akotas had snows and very cold weather is
reported in the extreme northwest. Predic-tions at this time are for heavy snows, fol-lowed :by lower temperatures. Bradstreet'sfigures for the world's visible show a de-crease of 773,000 bushels. Primary receipts\u25a0were 781,000 bushels against 509,000 last year.Clearances wheat and flour 558,000 bushels,corn 498,000 bushels. Minneapolis . receivedBK cars and Duluth 64, against 274 and 440last year.
May corn opened firm at S7%c and sold to;@37%c, holding steady at 37% cat noon.
1he market closed quiet and weak. May at74?%@75c; July, 76%c; March, 74%c; May cornclosed at 37%c.
The cash, market showed decided changefrom yesterday and taken all through busi-ness was unsatisfactory. Sellers of . topgrades were able to clean up promptly al-though even here slight concessions were oc-casionally made. Others with offerings com-prising principally low grades found it hardto move the wheat. Prices were shaded allaround, and at noon, there was a sprinklingof lots as. yet unsold. No. 1 northern sold atMay price to %o over with a number of salesat 75c and 75%c. No. 2 northern rangedfrom 70c to 72c, with the bulk of businessaround 71c. No. 3 wheat ' ranged from 65cto 680.

The United States Investor says of the\u25a0wool outlook: , "The market for this com-modity is in a depressed condition, and thereie no conclusive reason to believe that anymaterial advance in prices is to be lookedfor In the immediate future. The stock ofwool in this country and, in the markets ofthe .world is large, and the demand, for man-ufacturing purposes is, on the whole, > verymuch reduced. . The stock in . the UnitedStates will soon be greatly augmented by •anew domestic clip, but, while the demandfor the manufactured product may improve astime goes on, quite a little over the veryslow opening of the present goods season, itmay be qestioned if there will be an increasesufficiently large to admit of the expectationthat , quotations on the raw material will befavorably affected in the near future. Inshort, the entire wool industry, from thegrower to the manufacturer, Is in a condi-tion which compares very unfavorably withthat witnessed in recent years."

Banking firms are pleased -atthe acquisition of the Rockefeller . Miningcompany, as indicating a stronger bond ofsympathy between Morgan and Rockefellerinterests. .

He died of consumption.—Thapast three days have made quick work offourteen inches of snow. The small streamsare full and there is now every indication ofa general break-up of the river. Loggingcamps have all been abandoned, as no workcan be done.—The trial of Patrick Yeon ofMerrillan for selling liquor without a licensewas begun before Judge Levin yesterday. Itis being fought hard, as It is a second of-fense, and the law prescribes & jail sen-tence.—E. Melyman, a farmer, was nearlykilled yesterday by being kicked la the fac«by one of his horses.
Stevens County* Term,
Special to The Journal.Morris, Mian., March. IS.—District court
opened yesterday, with Judge S. A. Flahertypresiding. The calendar consists of thirty-sixcivil and four criminal cases, the latter allagainst John Eriokson, Jr., of Hancock.Judge Powers of Oranite Falls is present tosit on criminal cases in which Judge Flahertyis an attorney. Attorneys Xeelaud, Meade,Rinehart and Fr/berger of Minneapolis,Shelly of Graceville. Van Sant of Wlnona,and Champlain of Benson are in attendance.—A union memorial service was heldin the Congregational church on Sun,day night in honor of ex-Presrdent BenjaminHarrison. Addresses were mad* by AttorneysGeorge E. Darling. R. A. Stone and WilliamC. Bicknell.
Verhoeff, from Milmine: "Londou stockshigher and strong. Buy Atchison common.Hold all good stocks for further advance.Don't be afraid but what United States Steelstock will sell much higher."
New York, to Watson: "We have to re-port continued strength in our market and adistinct broadening in the speculatiove con-ditions. Chieage, Burlington & Quincy hascontinued to be vefy active, and the heavypurchases by houses directly connected withMr. Hill have gone far to confirm the beliefin the acquisition by Mr. Hill of this prop-erty. Rock Island has sympathized with theadvance in Chicago, Burlington & Quiacy,and we think it will go higher. Among thelower priced speculative shares, Erie may be,perhaps, regarded as the mo«t noticeable," anda change iv administration points directlyto the Great Northern affiliation. Doubtlessa vast amount of new business will be thrownover the Erie road, which will contributegreatly to its revenue, making the first andsecond preferred stocks especially desirable.Tobacco has taken another upward turn, andat the risk of being considered too enthusi-astic, we are disposed to look for at least 150for Tobacco common before midsummer. Theearnings of the Continental common stockought also to be very much increased by thetax condittcns, and at 47 it ia a good specula-tion. We should be greatly disappointed ifit does not sell above 60 by July. At present,we see nothing to discounrage holders ofstocks."'
