10 WHEAT TURNED QUIET AND LACKED FEATURE Traders Inclined to Hesitate on the , : Indifferent Tone of European Markets. VISIBLE DECREASE OF 778,000 BU. Scarcity of Important News on Kith- -1 er Bide-CMA Wheat Lc» Ac- tive—General Oo»«lp. .-Minneapolis.Chamber of Commerce, Marcn 19.—Wheat opened %@&c higher this morn- ing, but met with selling pressure from i the start. It was impossible to maintain It on a higher level, yet no material break followed. The market sagged to yesterday's close, held there and fell into dullness.\ May opened at 75H@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 period of activity to follow the late upturn. 'At noon to-day the market, although' on a higher rang*, was back into lines as narrow and had a general tone almost as dull as before the rise last week. One thing calculated to dis- courage the trade, and especially the bulls from more aggressive efforts, is the tone of indifference shown in Liverpool. That mar- shows more than the usual degree of Independence at, present, and takes its changes more from its local. conditions' or from other world factors, ignoring in good part 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 ,' last year. At northwestern points receipts were *»7 oars against 714 last year. St. Louis had C3.000 bushels, against 14,000, Kansas City «u,ih)o bushels against 35,000 last year. The weather came in for a good share of atten- tion, - partly because of the absence of other news of influence. ' From the southwest much moisture was reported. Minnesota and the 1 >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's figures 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 . received BK cars and Duluth 64, against 274 and 440 last 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 at 74?%@75c; July, 76% c; March, 74% c; May corn closed at 37%c. The cash, market showed decided change from yesterday and taken all through busi- ness was unsatisfactory. Sellers of . top grades 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 hard to move the wheat. Prices were shaded all around, and at noon, there was a sprinkling of lots as. yet unsold. No. 1 northern sold at May price to %o over with a number of sales at 75c and 75%c. No. 2 northern ranged from 70c to 72c, with the bulk of business around 71c. No. 3 wheat ' ranged from 65c to 680. ' Rejected ~ sold from 540 to 58c, no grade, from 52c up, some no grade selling as ; high as'E6@s7c. ' ' THE CASH TRADE Mai Steady—Flour Trade Good— Corn Higher—Oat* Active.

RALLIES FOLLOW REACTIONS Excited Speculation on the Curb In United State* Steel . Stocks. New York, March 19.—Buying for the lon* account was resumed at the opening,of busi- ness this morning and resulting gains were ponounced in :•. various 'specialties and rail- roads. Missouri Pacific displayed exceptional strength, rising to 88*6, and Burlington was 1% higher, at 164%. St. Paul, Brooklyn Tran- sit, Tobacco, Federal Steel, Rock Island and Louisville were about a point higher. Erie was bought at 33@34, compared with 33% last night. \u25a0 : Large purchases were made of all the prom- inent; stock* and some of the/ issues which were under pressure at times yesterday'were bought confidently. This was notably true of \u25a0the coalers and some of the \u25a0 southwesterns. Louisville crossed par, and the Vanderbilts, steel stocks and other market leaders showed buoyancy. Gains in the; strong atocks were between 1 and 3%, the prefrered stock of the steel companies leading. . Profit-taking in Burlington and Missouri Pacific , followed the opening bulge, but they rallied strongly. "The New York public f utilities suffered from profit-taking, Manhattan, falling below ; last night. Great Northern preferred fell 2Vi un- der, last night. . Where there was a . sudden advance, profit-taking caused a quick reac- tion, but support was met before the decline had ; extended far. V-..''; Sales to realize outweighed \u25a0 the new de- mand for most of the active stocks, and there were some distinct points of heaviness which affected the market. Persistent offers of the local group depressed. them I@2. points, and Burlington, the coalers, Vanderbilts and To- bacco were also sold. 'Delaware & Hudson ran up 3% and reacted 2*4. New stocks were advanced aggressively to keep alive the spec-, ulative interest. The Atahisonsrose 1% and 1% respectively for the common and pre- ferred and some of the steel stocks made fur- ther gains. Buying of Canadian - Pacific, United States Express and the Pittsburg, Cin- cinnati, Chicago & St. Louis stocks benefited them 2@5% points. Burlington rose to the highest at noon. There was excited specula- tion on. the curb in United States steel stocks, i the common selling 2% higher than last night at 44»4, and the preferred 3% higher, at 90&. There were reactions of over a point in each, j Bonds were moderately active "and irrega-; Jar. •There was very heavy selling. to liquidate speculative profits during the last hour, which carried prices of the \u25a0„ strong active stocks down." from 1 to 2%, the latter Burlington.- Some of the stocks which did not move up vigorously , to-day were carried below last night's level. Manhattan sold 4% under yes- terday and Chicago & Eastern Illinois 5%. : The grangers, ; Pacifies, New York Central, ; the Erics, the Southern' Railways, Illinois ' Central and Louisville were all prominent in j the selling. The steel stocks held , compara- ,\ tively .firm. \ Room traders sold short on the ' decline where, buying to cover rallied the market, the Erics recovering strongly." Profit taking was renewed on the advices ; and the closing was weak except for the steel stocks, many stocks selling at the lowest on the reaction. ;. _ , '.'

Made by A. V. CLELAND, 81-83 Western Aye., Minneapolis, ninn. The United States Investor says of the \u25a0wool outlook: , "The market for this com- modity is in a depressed condition, and there ie no conclusive reason to believe that any material advance in prices is to be looked for In the immediate future. The stock of wool in this country and, in the markets of the .world is large, and the demand, for man- ufacturing purposes is, on the whole, > very much reduced. . The stock in . the United States will soon be greatly augmented by a new domestic clip, but, while the demand for the manufactured product may improve as time goes on, quite a little over the very slow opening of the present goods season, it may be qestioned if there will be an increase sufficiently large to admit of the expectation that , quotations on the raw material will be favorably affected in the near future. In short, the entire wool industry, from the grower to the manufacturer, Is in a condi- tion which compares very unfavorably with that witnessed in recent years." ".' N0.1.N0.2.

Lewis & Co.: About 90 per cent of all the steel stocks have been deposited with the trust companies. The only exceptions are Steel and Wire and National Tube, but enough of each has been deposited to make-success certain. The American Bridge company may be taken in. Other companies '\u25a0 have expresesd) willingness 'to go in, but Morgan said to oppose further addi- tions on the ground of the tendency to un- wieldineas. Banking firms are pleased -at the acquisition of the Rockefeller . Mining company, as indicating a stronger bond of sympathy between Morgan and Rockefeller interests. . Morgan declined to ' say to-day that the increase In capital may be $100,000,- --000. He said that very : much less may be required. None of the $200,000,000 underwrit- ing fund has even been called for. \u25a0\u25a0 SPECULATIVE GOSSIP Counselman & Day to Pettit: More mois- ture in the winter wheat country and weather colder.

Burial of a Civil War Vet. Special to The Journal. Black River Falls, Wia., March 19.—Wash- ington Roberts, a member of Company H, Forty-fifth Wisconsin infantry during tha civil war, was buried here to-day by hia comrades. He died of consumption.—Tha past three days have made quick work of fourteen inches of snow. The small streams are full and there is now every indication of a general break-up of the river. Logging camps have all been abandoned, as no work can be done.—The trial of Patrick Yeon of Merrillan for selling liquor without a license was begun before Judge Levin yesterday. It is being fought hard, as It is a second of- fense, and the law prescribes & jail sen- tence.—E. Melyman, a farmer, was nearly killed 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. Flaherty presiding. The calendar consists of thirty-six civil and four criminal cases, the latter all against John Eriokson, Jr., of Hancock. Judge Powers of Oranite Falls is present to sit on criminal cases in which Judge Flaherty is 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 held in the Congregational church on Sun, day night in honor of ex-Presrdent Benjamin Harrison. Addresses were mad* by Attorneys George E. Darling. R. A. Stone and William C. Bicknell. Verhoeff, from Milmine: "Londou stocks higher and strong. Buy Atchison common. Hold all good stocks for further advance. Don't be afraid but what United States Steel stock will sell much higher." New York, to Watson: "We have to re- port continued strength in our market and a distinct broadening in the speculatiove con- ditions. Chieage, Burlington & Quincy has continued to be vefy active, and the heavy purchases by houses directly connected with Mr. Hill have gone far to confirm the belief in the acquisition by Mr. Hill of this prop- erty. Rock Island has sympathized with the advance in Chicago, Burlington & Quiacy, and we think it will go higher. Among the lower priced speculative shares, Erie may be, perhaps, regarded as the mo«t noticeable," and a change iv administration points directly to the Great Northern affiliation. Doubtless a vast amount of new business will be thrown over the Erie road, which will contribute greatly to its revenue, making the first and second preferred stocks especially desirable. Tobacco has taken another upward turn, and at the risk of being considered too enthusi- astic, we are disposed to look for at least 150 for Tobacco common before midsummer. The earnings of the Continental common stock ought also to be very much increased by the tax condittcns, and at 47 it ia a good specula- tion. We should be greatly disappointed if it does not sell above 60 by July. At present, we see nothing to discounrage holders of stocks."' Missouri Pacific earnings for the second week increased $59,000; from Jan. 1 the irf- crease was $832,537. Louisville & Nashville earnings for the sec- ond week of March increased $49,730; from July 1, increase $677,393. Earnings St. Paul, second week March $813,023; increase. $46,310.

.-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

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.

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."

Burial of a Civil War Vet.Special to The Journal.

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."'
