WHEAT RECORDS A GAIN. The Belief Prevalent That the Clique Has 8old More Than It Bought. CORN RULES DULL BUT STEADY. The Dullness in Short Ribs Relieved By an Increased Movement— Cattle and Hogs Weak and Lower. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. CH1cAGO, Mareh 80.--| Special Telezram 10 the Bge.]—Wheat closed to-night ¢ higher than yesterday, yet there is very hittle doubt but that the cligue sold a ereat deal wore wheat to-day than it bought. There was all sorts of news to-day from all quarters, but it bavpened that it was all bullisn. New York s ighting and the bears are waking a great aao over the weakness of options, Initial trades here were at about T9ic for May and #0%c for June. A disposition to sell was manifested at the beginning of busivess, but this was not sufficient to cause more than a momentary weakness. Spirited buying by Hutchinson and Keshaw started the crowd. The secalpers, who had been working the short side of the deal, took the alarm, but when they tried to lay in wheat they made the unpleasant discovery that there was less for sale thau there might be. This only in- creased their anxiety, and under the influ- ence of the demand from that source very largely values hardened appreciably, May going to3 #2i¢c and June to Slize. Hutchin- 80D was a very strong buyer all the forenoon, but after the start upward was made, so- called, the clique houses dropped out. Toward the top they appeared as sellers. The crowd absorbed the offerings readily fora time. but values were softened some- Later, however, was injected into climbed to $3¢. The in a measure by the overy that a clique house had been buying of the brokers while openly selliug. and the word was passed around that a_combination was picking up two or three bushels for every bushel sold Kershaw and privately intormed parties that wo-called clique brokers had_sold five bushels for every bushel bought. This confusion of information only served to increase the per- plexity of the siination without in any ner producing weakness, gnd quotat P. m. were close to the top. The w news cut something of a figure in regulating values to-day. Reports from every section ‘werr to the effect that the meteorlogical con- ditions -\emnrmrnlnrh uying to winter wheat. A further advance in San Francisco ve color to the statements that the pros- pets in - the interior of the wheat growing district ot California are very baa. Corn ruled dull_and sieady. Very little was done in oats. In the provision ‘market the late dullness was relieved a little by the - creased movement in_short ribs. 1In pork there was no public trading whatever and in lard the interest exhibited was restricted 1f avything more than yesterday. CHICAGO LIVE 8TOCK. Cu1cAGO, March 30.—[Special Telegram to were ample. The gen- eral market to-day was very dull and weak. Prices were 10c lower on the sales made and there were many lots of good choice to heavy cattle which couldn’t be sold at 15¢ decline. The demand for fat Texansis fairly good. Some 719 1b steers sold to-day at $a. There was a considerable volume of busines done at $4.00@4.40 for poor stockers to fancy steers. The general cow market was clow but stead. Hocs—Rough and mixed were 5c lower and in many cases 10¢c off and the market closed weak. The prices are about the same as one week ago and about $1.25 higher than one year ago. The market for packing and sbipping was a slow one and prices on an S e fully 5c lower. Sales ranged at 95 for ordinary to fancy.

NEW YORK, March 30.—[Special Telegram fo the BEE.|—Stocks.—The stock market ovened moderately active this morning at prices fractionally lower than last night's close. Oneof the features of the day was the ratification of the Oregon Railway & Navigation company’s lease by the Union Pacific directors, which had a beueficial effect on the former's stock, The lease is for ninty-nine years from the date of execution upon a basis of 6 per cent. The full details are withheld for the present. The stoch ad- vanced 2 points during the morning, and then eased off a little. Texas Pacific was active and there was no more bull talk about it. Itis now reported that Gould has bought 50,000 shares of this stock in the last few ‘weeks and has turned 30,000 shares over to the Missouri Pacific, keeping the rest for him- self, Mr. Gould tells his friends that the Missouri will go to 116 or 120 in April. 8. P. ‘White does not believe there is any serious danger from a strinzgency in the momey marvet now, and he is an out and out bull ‘The day as a whole did not develope any especially important feature, and the after- noon was guiet and dull. After g advance 1n Oregon Navigation there was an improve- ment of a point in Oregon Transcontinental, ‘which waf not fully maintaived. There was buying of this latter stock by Boston, and Landon was said to be buying some small lots of Wabash, and the Gould crowd was bulling It. ‘Lhe preferred stock showed a eain of half apoint at the finish, and Oregon Navigation an advance of 1% points. The total sales for the day were 301,557 shares. GOVERNMENTS—Government bonds were dull but stead.
