Prices ranged hizher than yesterday, but the closing range at 1 o'clock does not ghow an import- ant gain on the day. Half a dozen strong houses that have been conspicuously buying wheat every little while for the mounth, were in the market again to-day, and they were trading on a large secale eculative offer ings were heavy, and a good many who saw achance to get out of the agonized deals without loss took advantage of the bulge to sell out their holdings. The faint-hearted contingent only contribvted a very small faction of the day’s business, however. Gen- erally speaking the sentiment was one of confidence, T he selling was by a few stal- wart bears who haye unbounded faith in Jower prices for the remainder of the erop vear.

CHICAGO LIVE STOCK. CuicaGo, March 3.—[Special ‘I'elezram to the BrE.|—CA —The Wednesday re- ceips proved to onsl derably less than the early estimates and the market was dull and lowsr. ‘To-day receipts were considerably heavier than the early estimates and the market was stronger.

Tocks—Sentiment was not quite so bullish to-day in regardj to stocks. It was thought that the market was not yet 1o a position to advance materially, and traders who took this view sold stocks on the bulge, in the belief that prices would sag off alittle. The success of the Reading and Nickel Plate reorganization schemes and the prospective adjournment of congress Friday were the main bull arguments. It was noticed, too, that exchange was rather weak, and conservative houses predicted a decline, Western Union was the bull card atthe open- ing. Itadvanced about 1 per cent, and the old story of a settlement with the Baltimore £ Ohio company was received. The Bateman following were talking very bullish on St. Paul, and quite an upturn in it was scored. Union Pacific made a galn of 1 per cent, and the story was thatthesqueeze was engineered against speculating congressmen at Wash- ington, who had sold the stock In anticipa- tion of unfavorable legislation. St. Paul earnings for the month of February de- creased 859,000, and after the early bulge few orders were received, the result being a drop in the whole list. There was a general stiffening of prices during the slosing hour, ‘The Vanderbilts were up on the improved condition of business east from Chicago. New gland was especially active and strong. ‘The talk was that the pool in it had been picking up the stock for several days, and that a sharp bulge might be expected very soon. ‘The temper of speculation ap- peared to be In favor of higher prices toward the close of the session, last quotations being about the highest for the day.
