CricAco, Mareh ¥1.—|Special Telezram to the Be The wheat market held very steady to-day. Scalpers still had the wheat Pit to themselves this morning, very much to their own surprise, The talk and thought of manipnlation is so persistent that gossipers are unhappy unless the clique houses are doing something on one or the other side of the market continually, The price was steady at exactly the price of the late session Baturday night, although a little under the regular close of last week.

Cicaco, March 21.—[Special Telegram to the BEE.] -CATTLE.~TLe live stock markets to-day were on the down grade, that is in the eattle and hog departments. Supplies were considerably larger than last Monday, cattle showing about 3,000 increase, hogs 2,000, and sheep fully 4,000 increase, Cattle buyers were naturally anxious to get back a larie slice of the recent advance, and hog buyers were also decidedly bearish. The sheep trade, however, was strong. Receipts to- day were comparatively heavy. Buyers ‘wanted cattle, but they wanted them at con- siderably reduced prices. Buyers held off, bidding very low, and salesmen were also rather deliberate, knowing that nothing ‘would be gained by unseemly haste to sell. Prices were 15@25¢ lower than Friday last, and were 25@30c lower than the prices of ‘Wednesday last, when the market was most excited and prices were the highest. Of course sales were made above and below these rates, but these figures fairly represent the average decline. At Kansas City the run was small to-day, but prices were 10@15¢ lower.

New Yonk, March 21—[Special ‘Telo- gram tothe BEE.|-Stocks.—The week be- gan quietly in the stock market, the opening to-day being tame but strong at about Satur- day’s closing figures. The talk yesterday ‘was that before the end of the week prices would be up considerably, although there 'was nothing new to indicate any great im- mediate advance. It was said that Cammaek had covered his shorts and that there was not going to be any great stringency in money, and as Gould has numerous schemes and securities to float this spring he s a bull and there will be no locking up of money resorted to in order to shake anybody out of stocks. Gould was at the Windsor yesterday afternoon a long time in consulta- tion with Cable, Porter and Price. They took & very cheerful view of thesituation and believed in an advance of 15@20 per cent In stocks this spring and sumwmer, but would Dot like to see any great activity or big rise #ight away or until the money market becone safer for big opernlmq. Cable, it was uld. believes the main western roads will earn more net money this year than last. The feeling at the opening was quite bullish and prices did not change much. Ladenburg, Thalman & Co. were again sellers of Read- ing and it eased off about a point. early, but London came in and sold a good many stocks, Commission houses picked up some stocks in small lots, but trade was dull and during the forenoon gradually worked a lit- tle Jower. Northwestern earnings for Feb- ruary decreased $144,320, For the second week in March ansville & Terre Haute earnings were 15304, an increase of $1,577, During the afternoon there were no new features of importance developed. Texas Pacitic earnings for January and February increased 818,315 and for the second week of March the Wisconsin Central's carnings gained £13,191. Trading was light all day, the total sales to noon being but 87,000 shares.

The following prices are for round ots of prodiee,as sold on the markel to~ey.- 1he quotations on fruits represent the prices at which outside orders are filled. Burter—There has been a very noticeable falling off in the recepts of choice butter dur- ing the past week, There is hardly any country butter coming in that can be graded a8 strictly choice. The receipts of the poorer grades are liberal and the market well sup- plied. The demand is for choice butter and poor butter will not sell very readily and only when the petter grades cannot be ob- tained. The warm waather has a tendency lo bring out the poor qualities in the butter and on that account poor butter does not sell as well now as when the weather is cold. An occasional package of fancy butter sells at better prices than those quoted below : country, l;‘fil'!c; fair to good, 12@14¢ mon, b@ Egus—The egg market is lower than a week ago on account of the decline in the eastern and western markets.
