THE SPECULATIVE, MARKETS, Hutchinson and Fairbank in Their Famous Roles of Dairymaids, HOW THEY MILKED THE BEARS Corn Closed at a Slight Advance— Oats Steadier—Provisions Ke- stricted—-Cattle About the Same—Hogs Higher. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. CnioaGo, March 21.—[Special Telegram to Mur Ber.|—The May wheat shorts were “‘milked” to-day. Hutchinson and Fairbank were seen at their best in their famous roles of dairy maids. The labor of milking the bears was to them a pleasure, and it seemed to be attended by no risks. In their hurry to get through the unpleasant performance a8 quickly as possible, the bears neglected to give expression to their customary notes of sorrow for ‘‘poor Fairbank.” They even neglected to figure on what his losses ought 10 be up to date, May wheat closed yester- day afterncon at 963¢c. It opened to-day at bout 979;@Ise. By 11 o'clock, an hour and @ half after the opening, the price was about $1. Tho extreme outside was $1.001¢, or 8}{c better than yesterday’s final quotations. On this bulge, which was a strictly local affair, there was very liberal rcalizing, and the price workea back to 98!je. The market, however, failed to go to pieces, and there was some recovery from the decline. The other markets and the late futures in this market reflected only in a minor key the strength in Chicago May. To-day’s boom may be described truthfully as “shorts’ bulge.” The bears have been gettirg very reckless recentif, and they ““sold themsclves in the hole.” The concentrated buying by, the Fairbank-Hutchinson party has been heavy for several days, and it evidently ab. sorbed all the wheat for sale, To use a com- mon phrase, “the crowd was baled out.” Anything was likely to turn the market up. TLe publication in the Daily Business of yesterday of a summary of the figures of the London Miller on the question of the sup- plies of wheat for Europe for the remainder of the crop year, and the reproduction in the Tribune this morning of the same conclu- ons, was one of the things that caused the rong opening. 'The many evidonces that have n accumulating of late of the re- newed activity in the consumption and ex- trade was another factor, and actual oversold state of the market ‘was another, The appearance of Lyon and other stalwart bulls in the pit bidding for large blocks was the only additional force needed to start the ball rolling, and that was supplied. This in brief explains the origin and cause of to- day’s bulge. Undoubtedly the great amount of long wheat bought at cheaper figures came out on the advance, but the short interest ‘was 80 large and the chnmfo of sentiment so eneral that the market did not stay down. ay worked back to 981¢c, but rallied to 9937c, and_held steady at about 00c during “m last end of the session. Right at the last the market advanced to 993{c and closed there. The trading in May was very heavy, and in July a fair volume of business was done, but the excitement was less. The opening was at Bi}gc, Or 3¢ better than yes- terday. The highest point touched on the first flurry was 87c. The market settled back nearly to 80c, and on the subsequent &‘llmu only advanced to 863¢c, closing at c. e corn market opened firmer, and ata shight advance, partly in sympathy witn the strength in the whegt market. There was again some evening up in the matter of some shorts taking profits and longs sub- mh.tlnf to moderate losses, but on the whole the volume of business was of a light order and mainly local 1n character. The closiug prices show an improvement of }¢c over those ruling at the corresponding time yes- terlay. Oats were firmer though rather quiet aside from May, in which there was fair trading. One or two of the prominent operators bought considerable of the month named at 259 @2b)c, chiefly to cover shorts, with tho receiving houses the principal sellers, There ‘was a moderate call for June around 25}{c, ‘vivx{,t. 253¢c barely touched, while July was ul Receipts and estimates for to-morrow were fair, while nothing of consequence was with- drawn from store and little disposition was shown to purchase No, 2 regular, with prices much the same as recently, around 25?‘@‘."5}{0 to go to store. 0 provisions the business transacted was disappointingly restricted. The opening showed a continuation of yesterday’s bull movement, ana for pork the prices indicated an advanceé on the early transactions of 173c, for lard of 23¢c and for short ribs of 7i¢c. In the morniug trade, in fact, the feeling was decidedly strong, and for a time the outlook romised all that the holders could desire. efore the session had progressed far, how- ever, it became apparent that the buyers had no inteution to follow - another rise in the market. They limited their demand or withdrew altogether, and when parties anxious to realize offered their property they found it hard to sell. The buyers only pur- chased when the prices asked by the sellers suited them, and with the excessive offer- ings the prices J:uruuud the only course open for them, that was to drop to a lower level. Durlng the better portion of the day the tendency was bearish, and from the best quotations established pork sold off 27igc, lard 7}¢c and short ribs 12}¢c. The closin, s however, were the samo as yesterday to 214 1owar fot 1ard, and only S3¢0 Off for poFk and short ribs, —_—— COHICAGO LIVE STOOX. Cnicaco, March 81.—|Special Telogram to Tue Bee. |—CATTLE—Prices to-ddy were firm for good and weak for common cattie, The receipts were laxger than on any other day of the week and some of the buyers were inclined to hold off and wait for lower prices.

New Youk, March 21.—[Special Telegram to Tae Bee,)—8rooks—In the stock market this morning, as for several days past, Chi- cago Gas led the movement and showed u marked strength, advancing rapidly 1% per cent to 478, with Chicago buying. The rest of the activity,- what little there was, ‘was confined to the grangers and coaler and 90 per cent of all the trading was in less than a dozon stocks. Flirst prices were little changed from theclose yosterday. The mar- ket, though not active, was unsettled. There 'was a fractional advance in Wheeling and Lake Erie, and o loss of }¢ per cent in Kock Island. 'The slight fractional advance early was wiped out by the decline before 11 a. m., which left everything on the list below the opening figures. On the decline, Rock Island lost § and Atchison 3, leading the list downward. The active stocks of the morning were Chicago Gus, Atchison, St. Pau), Burlington, Roading, Lackawauna and Northwestern. Later in the forenoon the active list was reduced to Chicago Gas, Bur- lington and Atchison, when a firmer feeling prevailed aud the first named stock touched the highest point of the day, while the others sbowed but fractioual advances. Atnoon the market was dull and prices were barely up to the opening figures, with sales of 96,540 shares. Toward the close in stocks the mar- ket was not specially active, but there was generally a firm feeling. Chicago Gas con- tinued to lead the list and reached the high point of 48%, bt weakened before the close to 474, showing a 1% advance for the day. There was more than usual attention given to 8t. Paul preferred, because of the favor- able results expected from the meeting to- day. This stock was at 100 at the close, an advance of 3¢ per cent. The other advances for the day were Lackawanna, 1; Manhat- tan, 1l; Northwestern, i St. Paul, '} Reading, % per ceht. The total sales for the day were 217,988, including Burlington, 18,400; Lackawanna, 10,200; Northwestern, 15,500; St. Paul, 13,400, and Reading, 19,600 'l'hevollowlng were the closing quotations: £ 48 rogular... 1 Northern Pacific. . 2% 8 dscoupons.

Thursday, Murch 21, 1859, Those who huve been predicting hoavier receipts on account of the advance in prices of the .-.nv. few days, had their expectations realized to-day, although the receipts were not 8o heavy as many were afraid they might be. As it was, the offerings were sowe- what in excess of the demand but the trade opened fairly active and & nl mauy uuls changed huuds before midday., The pack- ers and shippers alike bought auite freely, but their = purchases ~consisted mosty of the medium weight and tidy little cattlo while the heavy cattle iwere negleed to a great extent. One bunch of good heavy cattle brought $3 but the bulk of the dressed beef and sh ping steers sold at $3.05@83.50. Some of the early sales were pernaps not much different from yesterday, but the gencral market was b@10c lower, and this decline was l‘qlll“\ true of butchiers' stock as well as of beef cattle. The supply of butchers’ stock was not heavy and desirable cows sold very freely, but bulls are not in as good demand as they were a week or ten days ago. There were no important changes in the feeder market. There were not many on sale aud what there were were not of very good quality, Hogs. For the first time this week the market was active and the hogs all sold early, The [rices paid were strong to Bo higher. A very arge proportion of tho hogs sold at $#4.50 re- gardless of whether they were heavy, light or mixed. One load of 2%-1b. hogs sold at £4.55, the top price. While the receipts of hngs were not heavy, they wero the heaviest of any day since Fridav of last week. Sheep. There were only two loads here and they were commonish and light Nebraskas which sold at & and $4.00. The market was steady, with desirable fat sheep in demard. Pipt v Horses, Prevailing Prices.

The Indians Likely to Accept the New Proposition. CHAMBERLAIN, So. Dak., March 21— |Special to Tue Bee.|—The Sioux bill, as it passed the late congress and was approved by President Cleveland, is more favorable to the Indians than the bill they refused to ac- cept last year. It gives them $1.25 per acre for 11,000,000 acres, which was the price they asked a year ago, and in addition gives Red Cloud and and his_tribe $28,000 to reimburse them for ponies taken away from them by the government troops in 1803. Your cor- respondent having interviewed a numoer of the leading chiefs atthe Crow Creek and Lower Brule agencies, finds thom all in favor of the bill. The Indians at these agencies were tho only ones who accepted the last bill. Reports received here from Standing Rock are to the effect that John Grass, Gall and other chiefs who opposed the last bill so bitterly, were eirculating petitions in favor of tho Vil R et probably be ap- mted 1 a few days, as reports from ashington stato that Secretary Noble is in favor of rushing the matter. The com- mission will be composed of Indian Rights, Indian Defense men und two Dakotian Hon. John H. King, of this city, and Dr. S, V. McGillicuddy, of the Hills, aré mentioned as probable members of the commission. S S Rives Marries Mrs. Belmont.
