WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
South St. Paul, March 27.
CATTLE—Receipts have been unusu
ally heavy this week the first four days
running 4,500 head, against about 3,600
for the entire six days a week ago. The
butcher market has been steady to strong
at all times. Demand has been good,
and packers are taking everything in
the killing line at prices that could
hardly be bettered at any other point.
The stoeker and feeder trade, taken as
a whole, has not been satisfactory. Feed
ers have been in good demand at steady
to strong prices, but only the best stock
steers and those showing weight have
been selling anywhere near as good as
last week. Heifers have been slow and
weak. Light weisht cattle and the
common ends have been dragging badly,
and the trade in this stuff is practically
at a standstill today. A considerable
amount of common stuff was moved
the first of the week at $2. Today there
was very little sold even at this price.
Bulis are steady. Good ntilch cows,
especially those showing weight, are
steady and active. Others sell as can
ners.
THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, KJKIDAY, MARCH 28, 1903,
STOCKS, BONDS
* AND MONEY.
NEW YORK. March 27.—The feverish
and erratic speculation in Colorado Fuel
occupied the largest share of attention on
the stock exchange today. The violent
drop ol 5% in the price of this stock was
alleged to be due to the desires of the
members of the pool to shake off a weak
following preliminary to a renewed ad
vance in the stock. A more logical ex
planation was found in the admission to
the stock exchange list for the first time
today of the convertible bonds of the
company. There has been a very active
market on arbitrage for these bends on
the curb for some time, due to Ihe fact
that they were considerably lower in
price than the stock was quoted on the
exchange. The operation consisted in
buying of the bonds on the curb and sell
ing- the stock on the exchange.
It was necessary to borrow stock for
delivery until today when the convertible
bonds became a good delivery against the
sale of the stock under the ruling of the
exchange. The bonds also declined sharp
ly from last night's price on the curt),
but it was noticed they were held treH
above the price of the stock, a.s though
to discourage the conversion of the bonds
Into stocks. Next to Colorado Fuel, the
principal activity was in Amalgamated
Copper, for which there was an active
demand in which brokers usually employ,
ed by inside interests were conspicuous.
The movement was believed to be direct
ed against the short interest. The stock
lost most of its gain and Colorado l'liel
recovered a good part of its loss, al
though it was on the downward grade at
the clO3e.
An active demand for Sugar sprang up
late in the day, apparently based on the
advance in the price of some grades of
refined sugar. The amicable course of
negotiations between the Anthracite min
ers' representatives and the operators in
duced a covering movement in the
coalers and caused general advances in
the group. Reading was also helped by
its good earnings statement for February.
The continued calmness in the money
market while the demand was being satis
fied to carry over until Monday, relieved
an apprehension of a flurry which has
been present in the minds <>f
all week and induced not a little covering
of short contracts. Some of the promi
nent railroad stocks had the advantage of
this movement, but the general market
was extremely dull and sluggish all 'lay,
as is usual on the eve of a prolonged holi
day.
Tho widest movements were among a
few specialities. The upward movement
was renewed in the Colorado & Southern
stocks. Green Bay & Western jumped
sVfc, Ke,okuk & Dcs Moines S l*. tho pre
ferred 3Vi. Lackawanna 4: Twin City
Rapid Transit 3^ and American Cable 2.
The late rally In the market caused a re
covery in the stocks which had oven
heavy early in the day and wiped out
most of the losses.
The feature of the bond market was the
active demand for Green Bay & Western
debenture li's from widely scattered
sources They rose 1 1 4 net and the «le.
benture A's rose 3 on a few transactions.
Total sales, par value, $4,610,000.
The recent restriction of operations in
stocks to the professionals has been ac
centuated this week by the fact that it
was to be a short week, followed by sn
interim in the tradirtg of three days hero
and four day abroad. So long a period
without an open market in which to close
accounts in the event of some develop
ments of importance in the financial
world always induces caution and a clos
inff of acounts.
Many of the brokers have anticipated
the coming holiday by Ftartln^ away on
trips, but some of the larfire capitalists,
whose actions are watched closely for
guidance, have returned from early va
cation jaunts, giving rise to the hope
that important operations in the stock
market would be entered upon. This in
fluence induced some of the buying on
Monday which was short lived. There
has been a general acquiesenee in the
waiting attitude of the market in view
of the several doubtful factors hanging
over it.
The money situation was the most im
mediate of these doubtful factors. Call
loans with which stocks are held, are
made in the day preceding a holiday to
carry over until the day of the resump
tion of trading, and for this reason alono.
the rate is likely to be run up somewhat
in placing loans at such a time. At this
time the forces of depletion of bank re
serves at work and the small .suryhis on
hand have kept the traders in dread all
the week that there would be a Hurry In
money on Thursday an.l has betn a re
pressive influence.
The varying phases of the negotiations
for n settlement between tho anthracite
miners and operators have been followed
with attention and have had a greater in
fluence on the market than was indicated
in the movement of the stocks of the
anthracite carriers themselves. Confi
dent assurances have been expressed in
Wall street that there would be no strike,
but the strong opinions to the Contrary
expressed from the miners' side, had
some ultimate effect on sentiment. The
development of a strike at L^owoH among
textile workers and drmf>nds for lncreas •
of wages among New Fngland shoe op
erativea havp helped to keep attention
on the labor question.
Tho beginning of additional suits :n vho
State courts against the North.-rri S curl
ties company has kept alive the appre
hension surrounding that important prob
lem, and the testimony given in a law
suit by the principals In tho great North
western railroad contest has not had a
reassuring effect as to the actual results
achieved by that combat or the present
relations which are the outcome. The
acti\ ity of the interstate commerce com
mission in securing Injunctions against
rebates and rate cutting by railroads,
and the announced intention to Investi
gate the subject further have awakened
fears that this course may be a hamper
ing influence upon railroad policies. The
announcement of the. United States Steel
bond conversion plan has been awaited
from day to day and has been the sub
ject of some perplexity and mixed sentt
Blent. Reports from the iron trade that
there has been some reselling at high
prices of material that was" urgently
bought on contract give point to the ap
prehension expressed that there may be
undue urgency in the recent buying- in
the iron market not warranted by the
assurance of future production.
Judicial proceedings against some of
the financial readjustment projects re
cently undertaken by large corporations
and the dispute over methods of account
ing tn the case of thp Evansville & Terre
Haute have had a disquieting effect on
sentiment. There has been some influ
ence exerted by superior crop conditions
in some of the winter wheat states.whijh
is a reminder of the sensitiveness of the
market to that influence at this season.
The resources of the money market mett
the requirements of an interior currency
demand, the collection of government's
surplus revenues and foreign demand for
repayment of obligations is still an open
question.
Further gold exports are Indicated by
the week's rise in foreign exchange. A
number of special stocks have moved
widely and feverishly during the week,
but not as a reflex of any general condi
tion or with any marked influence on the
general market.
The principal activity of the bond mar-
HOGS—The week opened with a decline
of 10 cents, which was regained on
Tuesday with a 10-cent advance. On
AYednesday the market was fully
steady. and today was a big
5 ctnts higher. Prices are now higher
than at any time since the first of the
year. We had a fair run of hog» to
day, but the quality was generally only
fair. The best hogs on sale were good
butchers, which sold at $6.55. Choice
butchers would easily have sold at $6.60,
and buyers stated that they would pay at
least $6.05 for choice heavy. See market
report for the actual transactions of the
day.
SJTKKF—The market continues to be a
very strong one, with not nearly enough
stuff cnnung in to supply *the demand.
Whits receipts wore fairly heavy today

MINNEAPOLIS, March 27. — Wheat
made another upturn this morning, fol
lowing yesterday's advance, and May
sold to 71%&71 12C. This was in the early
trading. The little bull turn was short
lived, and after a bit the market fell I
back. At noon, on sharp decline, May
sold down to 70% c.
Higher cables, considerable of a squeeze
In corn, further opening prices in coarse
grain, and the feeling that something of
an advance was about due, were the in
centives for the early strength. There
was the further help of light receipts In
the Northwest and a very small showing
for primary receipt?. Liverpool was up
'oil at the close for both May and July,
and %d up on May and July corn. Broom
hall cabled, in explanation of this, that
the 'unfavorable reports from America,
particularly the sensational statement of
the secretary of the Grain Growers as.
sociation, respecting Kansas, caused
shorts in Liverpool to cover. The Price
Current says the week bo far has been
very favorable for crops; that wheat is
averaging fairly good, and that the.
promise is developing fully eQual to and
even exceeding previous expectations.
Oats seeding is in progress, and the pre
liminary work is starting well.
Receipts at primary points were very
light, showing only 71.000 bu, against 748,
--000 bu last year, and shipments 165,000
bu, against 310,000 bu. Wheat and flour
clearances amounted to 37,300 bu. Re
ceipts here were 170 cars, against 277
last year, and at Duluth Ctj cars, against
87 cars. _
The market turned very weak after
noon, and on stop-loss orders broke
quickly for another cent. May going as
low as G9 1/^c. July sold down to 70% c.
At the close May was 69%(569%c; July.
70% c, and September, 7OV4c. Chicago May
closed at 71%©71' 1; c.
Cash wheat "was in good sale, and be
sides cleaning up the tables of the good
milling lots, millers drew to some extent
on terminals. A little No. 1 hard was
sold at 73% c. Most of the trades were
on the early firm option. No. 1 northern,
from 70% cto 723. 4 No. 2 northern, from
70% cto 71c for the average, and No. 3
wheat from 69% cto 70% c. No. 2 northern
out of elevator brought 70Vac, and No. 3
out of elevator 69c. Rejected and no
grade were salable at relatively firm
prices.

CHICAGO CHANGE.
CHICAGO, March 27.—Grains experi
enced another day of heavy trading, and
lor a time sold at good advances. 1' air
•weather, however, dissipated fears of
crop damage, and corn ,shorts had com
forting assurance against the gossip <>£
a corner in July corn. May wheat clos
ed l%^fl^c depressed; May corn, %c low
er, an i May oats '•_..■ down. Provisions
again acted independently strong ana
closed at jyiT^c to 55c higher.
Traders who ran to cover yesterday on
the reports of crop damage in winter
wheat had their fears allayed soon alter
the opening hour. Cables were higher
on the damage reports and there was a
fair number of buying orders. Small
Northwestern receipts also were bullish
in their influence. But only so long as
corn held firm did wheat keep its open
ing strength. Rains were reported over
the whole wheat belt and the tempera
ture was mild. Statisticians reported the
growing crop as good as, if not better
than, at first expected. Corn had been
expected to take a decided up turn but
was soon being sold liberally and weak
ened. This gave the weather an opportu
nity to be felt to its full extent, and
wheat staggered downward. Liquidation
and stop-loss orders added to the control
and bears took control.
May wheat opened %®%c higher, at
t3%Cw,3c. and held there for some time
The depression took May to 71% c and
in spite of liberal covering of snort ac
counts late in the day, the close was very
weak. May, l%^tiy 2 c depressed, at 71%@
ii'n'- Some of the early buying was of
very good character, but the heavy selling
which broke price* was by more prominent
professionals. Crop damage reports con
tinued to arrive, but were overbalanced
by other reports which made bears
hopeful. Some of the weakness was due
to closing up deals over tomorrows hol
iday.
Local receipts were 19 cars, none of con
tract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth re
ported 236 cars, making a total for the
three points of 255 cars, against 306 last
week and 430 a year ago. Argentine ship
ments were 810,000 bu, compared to 384,1^0
bu last week and 1,368.000 bu last year
primary receipts were 34G.0C0 bj. against
514,008 bu a year ago. Seaboard clear
ances In wheat and flour were 373.000 bu
he seaboard reported nothing taken for
export. This point sold seven loads
Considerable strength was manifested
all day in corn, despite the marked weak
ness that developed in wheat. There
was also persistent selling of corn by
big traders—especially by the crowd that
was supposed to be cornering July op
tions. he heavy selling for profits
eased prices somewhat and gave wheat
a chance to break. The wheat pit in turn
affected corn, and May corn, after sell
ing as high as 60% c early in the day, lost
all its gain and dropped to B»%@s^4c The
weather had something of a bearish ef

Country offerings were moderate. i;e

Oats had some strength at the open- 1
ing under the influence of corn They
soon broke away from this lead how
ever, and on liberal offerings turned easy
There was a good early demand in July
which was easily accommodated, and May
options, which were quiet declined in
«nmi fhy, The late weakness in wheat
and the loss of the early corn advance
