ALEXANDER MCADIE, 1 Forecast Official. EASTERN MARKETS, NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK, March al of There was a com- :ntiment on the Stock Ex- change compared with that of the earlier part of the week and prices sagged al- most continuously. The losses averaged nearly 2 per cent In the standard shares and were more pronounced in the specialties, where in one case the decline exceeded 4 per cent. Trad- ing was dominated by the announced comple- tion of the Maine Board of Inquiry report, the fatlure of the Pacific roads to reachanamicable agreement upon passenger rates and the neavy selling by ho with Washington connec- tions. A favorable factor which had little in- .fluence was the continued influx of gold. The present movement, including to-day's engage- ments of §1,300,000 and the 5,500,000 en route from Australia, is in excess of $30,000,000. The continued ease of money likewise attracted lit- tle attention. The resumption of uneasiness as to the general Cuban situation seemed not to be shared on the forelgn bolirses, where Span- ish 4's advanced, although this may have been due to the announcement that the interest pay- nts which had been in doubt would be de. The bears offered round amounts of the Sugar, Manhattan, Metropolitan flway and other prominent securities. sence of support by leading operators as readily perceived by the advocates of lower values and utilized to the fullest extent. London was rather apathetic and early prices afforded little encouragement to either party, being slightly mixed. Subsequent cables re ported the London exchanges closing exceed. ingly weak in response to this side. Sugar absorbed the bulk of the traders’ attention during the da Josses of 2 poin etropolitan at receding prices. The net and over are as follows: treet Raflway, 43: Sugar, 3%; Consolidated Gas, 2%; Tobacco, 9%; Manhat- and Puliman, 2%. ions in bonds showed a further con- fon in_dealings, the aggregate reaching 000. ~The tendency of the market was downward throughout, as has been the case of late, a large preponderance of the dealings centering in a few of the speculative lines.

London financial cablegram say: sence of bad political news the stock markets here continued steady. The chief feature was the recovery in investment stocks on the pros- pects of temporarily cheap money. Prices, however, closed under the best, notably Ameri- cans and Grand Trunks. Canadian Pacific was strongly bought for Montreal. Foreign stocks were firm on Paris buying. A Greek loan is expected nmext month. It is to be between £5,000,000 and £6,000,000, of which 500,000 are for Turkish indemnity. The inter- est s to be 215 per cent, but the issue price s not yet known.

CHICAGO, March 17.—A good deal of strength was shown at the opening in wheat, although trading was not heavy. The action of the board of directors last night in refusing to fix a marginal price on May contracts, and the fact that testimony taken by the board show- ing ehipping values to be more than the bears cared to admit, caused a halt in the liquida- tion and short selling, which made the market s0 weak of late, and though it did not result in very much increased buying demand, yet the falling off in the selling pressure’ was o marked as to cause an immediate advance in prices. Besides the directors’ action some of the routine news was of a bullish nature. Kill- ing frosts were reported from California and freezing weather was reported in the North- west. Liverpool, in view of the decline here yesterday, showed an unexpected degree of steadiness. Opening trades in July were on an advance of 3c, $5@S5%c being bid. One T two sales were made as low as S4%c. Soon a_disposition among the scalpers to cover up their short lines was shown, which carried July up to £%c. Then the market turned weak on the variable weather West. At around 8436c Leiter's brokers gave July support. This started a buying movement again, and the strength was continued to the close, July ad- vancing to and closing at §i%c. May was very quiet all day. It showed some strength, seli- ing as high as $1 043, and never getting below the fixed price, §1 04 It closed at the latter price. The opening in corn was steady, but liguida- tion of May soon started and grew quite heavy as the session advanced. May closed %@%c lower. The market for oats was much the same as corn. May closed fairly steady, %e lower. Provisions were the firmest market on the floor, closing prices being_about the best of the day. May pork was isc higher, May lard loc_higher and May ribs Tic higher at the close. The leading futures ranged as follows: Open. High. Low.

The market was more ani- mated and there were further advances in | prices. Continental operators competed spirit- | edly for good scoured, which sold largely for | Germany, while Russia took a few choice lots. | There was a demand for faulty scoured and | pleces which were exceptionally strong at 7% | per cent ahove the prices paid at the last series of sales. This was also true of greasy me- rinos, except American sorts, which are firm | at unchanged prices. Finer cross-bred showed | the hardening tendency, while coarse sorts were irregular. Commercial operators com- | peted with the home trade for Cape of Good | Hope and_ Natal greasies, which were un- | changed. Thus far 34,300 bales have been sold. | FOREIGN MARKETS.
