THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS, The Volume of Wheat Fusiness Oontinues Large. MODERATE DEALINGS IN CORN. A Somewhat Easier Feeling in Oats ~Provisiors Practieally Undis- turbed—A General Advance in Cattle Values, [ CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Cnicaco, March 21,—|Special Telegram to Tne Bee.)—Chicago bad o big speculative wheat murket again today. The trading possessed some very interesting features and the volume of business was 5o large that in- dividual transactions were largely lost sight of. The three most conspicuous operators hero wero all buyers. They were Hutchin- son, Pardridge and Cudahy. Hutchinson was buying to get the market up or keep it up temporarily rather than accumulate a Inrger line of wheat. Pardridge was cover- ing at a hoavy loss. As a short soller he has been stanaing out for some days with the mar- ket against him. His purchases tolay were estimated at from 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 bushers. Cudahy was buying becauso he thinks he sces the bandwriting on the wall, None of his buying was to cover and perhaps he got long wheat. It must not be thought that the market was one-sided because of these three buyers. There was tho usual selling fof the proverbial F'riday break. There was heavy realizing by houges, With profits rangine from !4 to 1!Jc in May wheat there was selling by bears to short the market for a down turn after the curly advance., The advance of the day was made the first hall hour. May opencd Mo lower at S0%c and went st tup to S1'ge or e over all pre- vious figures on the present move- ment, At 1 velock May was at Sl'e, the top price. The fight from 11 a. m. t012:30 p. m. in the pit was 7¢c to SU@S0ke. Within this nar- row range millions of bushels changed ds. Sellers thought with the Pardridge short in- terest wiped out the market would weakan. Buyers thought that with a fresh short in- terest made today any bull news wouid cause a sharp advance and s scare among the shorts. Thus it stood at 1 o’clock. Tho feature of the market was a premium of 23c for May over July, whereas two days ugo there was but 13{c difference. June sales today were at 805, @s0%c and July was at i8cto T8i@7Sige. The excellent weather offset the firmer feeling abroad. Crop nows was a8 conflicting as for the week past. Shortly before the close wheat went up 814c, or lyc over the morning figure for May. There was a good dea] of calling on “calls” at 80@S0'¢c and then the market closed at #1.00. June closed at 80}gc and July at 81 @7Sige. ‘Ihere wus no large *individual trading in corn, but the market was fairly active, with considerable strength early and prices steady atthe close. 7There wero 770 cars of No. 2 stuff. May sold at 30@30!ge. On the large estimate for tomorrow, 833 cars,and selling by a Chicugo elevator company against country purchases, the price weot back o 2)7¢c but the close was at 30¢. Other closing figures March 28!gc nominal, April 20ige, 31i{c, August 3li{c, Sep! The nuls murkat. although fairly active, failed to exhibit the life ard the hlrgt) volume of trading noted yesterday. ‘There was good buying by several large opeators, but offerings were liberal and their wants were subplied. The feeling at the opening was rather easy and prices re- cedea slightly, rallied ¢ for May, but later receded {c, and the market closed steady at about the same prices as yesterday. June and July were steady, with fairtrading. No. 2 white for May met with fair sdemand and sold at 2350 early, but later at 28% @23lgc, June was rather guiet at 227! The demand for car lots in storo was light. No. 2 was quotable at 21:¢@?213{c. ‘The provision market wi un undisturbed ex- cept for a little activity in lard. Pararidge bought freely of this product and the price of May went from £6.10 to $6.15. Huthinson s0ld and the price went back to $6.123¢ at once. In short ribs there was livtle change except a slignt decline at the. opening. May pork sold av $10.45@10.47}¢ and back to $10.45 ;Ih‘lm: close, he cash’ trausactions were air. CH10AGO LIVE STOCK.

Il@l l"lN.‘\VU L ! NEw Yok, March 2L.—|Special Telegram to Tur Hek.|—Stocks—The stock market furnishes no surprises these days unless it o surprising that sales fall below 80,000 shares as they did yesterday. The public not only stands aloof from stocks but many professional traders are in a waiting atti- tude. Tho belief prevails that very little floating stock.of the Vanderbilt lines, the Coalers, Northwestern, Burlington or Rock Island, is on the masket. It is claimed that it 18 hield by parties who will not part with their shares on account of ordinary fluctuations either way. 1f this theory is correct it fur- nishes a foundation for a magnidcent ag- vauce when the rate troubles and the proba. bility of tight money are removed. There was a botter tone to foreign dispatches this morniug owing to the expressions of Em- peror William and this was plainly feit in the stock market. Early trading this morn- ing was much the samo as yester- day, while the fluctuations in no steck, with the single exception of Tennessce Coal exceeded '; per cent. Tho opening was steady to firm. Most of the list traded in during the first few min- utes showed fractional advances, The firm tone continued and changes in quotations after those of opening were generally up- ward, Tennesseo Coal, however, after open- ing up 1 per cont at 541y, lost all its improve- ment. Dealings were devoid of any other special feature, though Sugar, which with Teunesseo Coal was the only active stock, after a shght riso retired below the opening vrice, Before noon there was a further im- provement throughout the lLst. Sugar Trust was. up to 70, Oregon Transcontivontal to 573, Louisville & Nush ville to 84, Lake Shore to 1074, Western Union to 813, Tennossee Coal to 54 a second time, with Readig, Missourl Pucific and Rock Island small fractions higher. St Paul, Burlington and Nortnwestern were extrowely duil und steady, There was much improved feoling in all stocks before the close. ‘The announcemont of a dividend in Sugar Trusts caused that stock to close firm aud bigher. Chicago Gas, after a break to 413{ on the adverso Tllinois court decision, recovered to 42) at the close. Tennessce Coal moved up to b4l{, & net gain of 1% per cent. Lackawanos closed J¢ up and Readine % higher. Western raiiroad sticks were bioyant on better prospects and closed with fair advances. Atchison, Bur- lington and Western Union were up i§, Northwestern 1, St. Paul %, Missouri Pacifle 3, and Rock Island led with a 1 per cent gain at 04, Money continues ecasy The total salos of stocks wera 114,45 0 shares The following were the clising quotations: 0.8 43 roqular. . 1213 Noctiiarn Pacifo.. 23 (1o preferred 014 C. % N, W, o prorerts N entral.
