THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. BSeaboard Advices Tuned to Funeral Music, YET WHEAT CLOSES HIGHER. Corn Seems to be Getting Bearish— Oats Dull—-Provisions Command Considerable Attention—Oat- tle Fairly Active. CHICAGOIPRODUCE MARKET, Cnicaco, March 20,—[Special Telegram to Tae Bre.|—Wheat was not especially in- teresting to-day in & news way, or on ac- gount of the magnitude or significanee of the speculative operations. The advices from the seaboard were tuned to funeral music. They reflected weakness, gloom and dis- couragement at the prospects. Cables were dull and sick as a rule, yet, singularly enough, foreigners continue to take a little American wheat. It has been noticed in the past that sometimes when the foreigners are beginning to think of going actively into the market as buyers they send out the sickest reports of demoralization abroad. This may be a case of genuine sickness, however. “As for the news nearer home, it may be stated that it is cold and “‘snow-showery,” as gifted Amelie Rives wowd put it, in the immediate lake region, and mild and cloudy over the winter wheat districts, ! with occasional spitting of rain, but not enough to count. St. Louis wires that 70,000 bushels of 100,000 bushels bought a tow weeks ago for Aprll shipment to Galveston are ~ being loaded on barges to-day, and that the remuinder is certain to follow soon. Toledo wireg that 25,000 bushels was taken there by the millers to-day, and the western markets very generally rule fairly active on a ship- ing pusis. There is nothing boisterovsly E\Illlnh observhble anywhere outside of Mny whoat in Chicago, just at this writing, A for May wheat it seems to be ‘‘corked.” ’llm high prices ruling are serving to increase the receipts to u moderate extent, 68 cars being received to-day and 61 estimated for to-mor- row. May was not much traded in to-day, ) though the transactions were of sufficient nitude to remove the fears of stag- nnlf The bulk of the trading was in Juiy. May, howover, started off at $1.0134, advanced to $1.02, s0ld off_to §1.01%¢, advanced to $1.02¢, dropped back to $1.02, hung around that_point for an hour aud a half or more, and a few minutes bofore the close shot up to $1.041¢ on the bidding by Boyd, Baldwin, Poolé and others, .The close’ was $1.04, or-23¢c above yesterday. The tip was out ‘‘on the curb” last evening that the price wuuld be $1.10 to-day or to- morrow. July began at 88c, sold down to 873¢c, gradually crawled up to 883:@SSig. ranging most of the day at 88i¢@ssisc, an then when May spu it nscended 10 $dc. The closing quotation was 83%c, or ¢ bet- ter than yesterday. There was very free selling on all the hard s) '{mt! by the strong Jocal professionals, and excellent support from I,E merality of the commission mer- | chants and by Hutchinson's brokers, ¥ The local temper 1n corn seems to be once more getting bearish on the late futures, but there are evidences of no little nervousness among the shorts on the smallest provoca- 4 tion. One of the things that alarmed them ! to-day was the signal service prediction of the upproach of a cold wave. Choico No. 3 corn, such as is being received from Ne- [ braska points, is working very close to the ! price of No, 2 The speculative market was o ‘without animation and the price changes for the different futures so narrow as to create but little interest among the local specula- tors, and from the outside points orders for the future months were scarce. The Eng- \ lish markets were steady to firm, and ' there is every appearance of a con- tinuance of the presert active export . trade, with prices around the present level. 1In addition to the heavy clearances from %, the Atlantic ports yesterday, as noted above, > k';w Orleans parties shipped out 150,000 ,oushels to Rouen. The range of price was » confined to 1{c, und was }¢c to }{c lower on 4 ‘futures at the close than at the corresponding | time the previous day. ! ' Oats were exceedingly dull and feature- less, with the speculative branch of the market qnn.e neglected during the greater [> partof the day. There was almost an entire absence of any outside trading orders, and the light local business was confined within 1.8 Jc range. The general tone was one of ' ¢asiness, with rather more sellers than buy- L * ors, May ranged ut ,.’ugl @26c, with June at 1 1¢c discount, and tho other months next to )\ nominal. Out of 100 cars inspected in, twen- ty-five were contract grade. No, 2 Oats, to 80 to store, were dull at 25¢, and sales were y chiefly by sample. Provisions commanded considerable atten- | . tion, though the active interost was largely concentrated in pork. Short ribs and lard {,, wero strong and well supported, but in both sveculation dragged more or less. In pork, however, thero was more than the ordinary animation as well as irregularity. It opened Be under yesterday’s closiugs, and in a few minutes sold up 7)¢c and back 12'gc. When the lowest price was touched tho bears reached the conclusion they were in the mi- ority and tho market subsequently sold up B2igc. The upward turn also brought out i od buying, and for May and July particu- i fsorlv, pork -sold quite freely. The resting quotations for the same article wero 200 above yvesterday’s final figures, Short ribs closed unchanged, snd lard unchauged to K 2:¢e highor. —_— CHIOAGO LIVE BIOOR. Cmioago, March 29. Telegram to Tug Beg. |—Carrie—Business was fairly active and prices about the same as yester- day. The export demand was fair, but the I buyers wanted*nlighter and cheaper grade of ‘cattle than they bought in the early part of the week or last week. The dressed beef snd shipping demand was up to the average, and the chances were that about everything useful would be sold. Cow stock is un- changed and in fair demand. There is also little or nothing new in the stocker and \foeder trade. A few common Texans are mmlm;‘n\ong from day to day, with salos at 00 for cows and bulls. Choice to extra ves, $4.25(@4.00; medium to good steers, 1860 to 1500 1bs, ‘8.50@4 00; 1200 to 1350 $3.50@3. 7 ‘BSOtolWO lhl 53 3.0 stoc! ors and feeders, §3, oaw- bulls and mixed, &1 111@‘ 107 Vi, $2.30663.60; Rexss turn of about b, bulk sclling at &4804.55, ARAIAL §4.85@4.00 yesterday.

NEw Yonk, March 20.—([Special Telegram to Tus Bee)—Sroc ‘When stock oper- ations were resumed to-day the professionnls ‘were bearish, while the usual amount of bull tali about earnings was circulated. London did little or nothing, while Boston soou was heavily on the selling side in a few stocks. ‘The trade realizes that the western situation 18 bad, the southwestern not hopeful, and dis- turbancos almost certain among the trunk lines. These and other influences led to heavy pressure on certain stocks befors the morning was half goue. At the opeuing there was no marked change from last night an the character of the market or the range of prices, Lake Shore started 3¢ higher, and Jersey Central J§ lower, with the list irregu- lar. Later iu the hour the warked weakness 1o three stocks, Union Pacific, Atchison and Missouri Pacitlo, became the feature. There was heayy pressure on Union Pacifie, with & decline of 1} per cent, followed by Atchi- #0n, which went off from 48 to 42, and this in turn by Missouri FPacifio. 'Chere was little #ign of reaction even when the market stead- ded, The selling of the three stocks named ‘Wwas remarked before 11 o'clock, and contin- ued after tuat hour, Large amounts changed bands, and prices yislded quickly, Union Paciflc retired 136 per cent further, to 59 ; Atehison nearly ¢ polnts, to 401, and Mis- sourl Pacific 13§ further, to 64)¢. Chicago 4 2 was foroced down wlso to 40}, & 13 loss theopening. The deslines did not ex- tend to tho geuoral list, and most of the Plooks were well maistolued. Just before noon there was a reaction of about a point in the stocks which suffered most, and the mar- ket on the whole was quiet, with prices at fractions under the opening. The slaughter of a few stocks continued to the close, while a number of others were dragged down a few fractions, There was a partial recovery in Missouri Pacific, which closed with a loss for the day of 13§, while Atchison lost 2 points, and Union Pacific most of all, 8% per cent. The other losses were Lackawanna, 1}43 Chi- cago Gas, 1173 Jersey Central and New Eng- land, 8{ each, and T.ake Shore }{ per cent. The total sales were the largest for some time, aggregating 308,118 shares, including Union Pacific, 6€9,500; Reading, 00400 Northwestern, 17,2007 St, Paul, 10,600; Mis- sourl, 47,400} Bur“ngton 17,800; New Eng« land, 10,100.

ELPaso, Tex., March 2).—Four Amer- icans from EI Paso shot and killed two Mexican policemen last night in Paso del Norte. The Americans were raising consid- erable disturbance by shooting off their pistols and overturning apple and meat stands, when the policemen attempted to arrést them, One of the Americans opened fire on an officer and shot him dead. A sec- ond shot brought a secoud policeman, who was also fatally wounded. The Americans then made a break for the river, closely pur- sued by Mexican soldlers, and escaped to the American side. Fully two hundred Mexi- cans came over to EI Paso to demand the arrest of the guilty parties. No clue to the discovery of the Americans who did the killing has been found. The ElPaso auth- orities have informed the Mexican authorities that they are helpless to render any aid in apprelending the murderers, The Mexi- cans_say they will hunt down the murderers and kill them whereover they find them, ity on i Schweinfurth's Queer Disciples.
