NEW YORK, March 17—The Commerecial Advertiser's London financlal cablegram sayes: Although Stock Exchange business did not increase to-day, there was a better tendency, forced sales In mines having ceased. There were symptoms of bear covering. Consols were weak, but apparently the only cause was a few cash sales in a quiet market. American shares were quiet, but business in this quar- ter was very small. London mul’ht a few shares in the street. Rio Tintos were down %. Copper statistics show increases of 731 tons, and of supplies of 1456 toi drop in Amalgamated Copper caused talk over here tkat it is the American policy to break copper, and New York sales of Rio Tintos con- firm this idea.

SRR STy Ut R s M P T e by 3 CHICAGO, March 17.—Good judges of trade influences declared at the opening of business that the wheat news should put 2 cents on the prices of futures to-day. World's statls- tics were bullish, Liverpool stocks were de- creased and Liverpool cables showed a guick rally to firmness in the English markets, But the chief bullish factor was the hard freeze over the Western States. The thermometer was down to zero in the winter wheat sec- tions, where the warm weather and rains had slarted growing. Coarse grains were higher, Minneapolis reported a good cash demand, with No. 2 Northern selling at May . prices, and No. 1 at 1@l%c premium. These in- fluenges did Induce a substantial advance at the opening, but the early prices were the best of the day. ‘May started %@%c_ higher at 75%e to 76 cents and haggled for the first hour. Shorts had evened up pretty well S urday, and consequently there was not suel a nervous tension as there would have been had the freeze come last week. The commis- slon houses had a good supply of buying or- ders to execute, but the big local professionals were callously indifferent to the situation and Jet the outsider attempt to bring the few re- maining heavy shorts to thelr knees, Trade grew light early, when prices eased fo 75%c. Here May rested for some time. Then bears thought they saw a latent weakness In the pit and started in to hammer out the small ry. A number of crop damage reports came to hand but had little effect.
