BAD DAY IN THE STREET KOT ENOUGH Dt'SI.ESS TO KEEP THE Theoretical Speculation as to. Effect of ISew Finance Bill Holds the BoardsLocal Trade Better. At New York, yesterday, money on call wan steady at ZfiZft per cent.; last loan, per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 4'g'5 per cent. Sterling exchange was weak, with actual business In bankers' bills at tl.$S3i.8o for demand and $4.82 for sixty days; post ed rates, St.S3ttlH.8l and 94.8?i.67; com mercial bills. S4.8l&4irj4.82tt. Silver certificates were Kr7l60; bar sil ver, K)Hc; Mexican dollars. 47 c. Bar sil ver t at London was 27&d per ounce. Professional bear operators suspended their campaign for a decline In the stock market yesterday. The bull contingent, on the other hand, were hampered by the continually increasing closer conditions In the money market and by the deter mined Indifference of the outside public. In consequence dealings on the exchange arproached the point of stagnation, and the movement of prices was entirely with out significance. Attention among money lenders and capitalists, as well as among stock operators. Is devoted to the probable effects of the currency bill when It shall become operative. As to the volume of the expansion of the currency opinion Is agreed that additional note issues will be at once up to the par value of bonds at present on deposit to secure circulation, which Is slightly over I240.00O.0O0. The. 10 per cent, increase thus indicated will be 124.000,000. As to the extent beyond this to which the expansion is likely to proceed all Is conjecture, and opinion is exceed ingly varied. On the present. national bank capitalization, which amounts to $606.000,000, a. further note issue Is permissible under the law of J3ee.000.000, but the total amount of the bonds to be converted and which are available to secure circulation Is nearly $$10,000.000, apd the additional capital, which may be embarked In national banks In small cities under the law makes pos sible a further extension of circulation as fast as national bank capital is increased, but this possibility Is purely theoretical. The more the question Is canvassed of the possible effects of the operation of the law, the more It is ierceived that hindrances may arise to taking out additional circulat ion. In the first place, the constant ad vance in the price of government bonds nay cat up the margin which would leave a profit In circulation. There is a question nlso of the ability of the banks to keep their notes In circulation. They cannot be counted in the lawful money reserve re quired by law. and at the same time they fwcII the deposit liabilities of the banks. In consequence, unless an active demand exUts for the use of currency in hand-to-band transactions, the banks would derive no advantage from keeping the notes in their vaults and would fend them in for redemption as fast as received. On the other hand, even if the notes keep In cir culation, there is the question of how far they would serve to displace legal tenders, thus facilitating gold exports. Lastly, there is the question of delay In the prepa ration of the new oonds from purely mechanical difficulties, a delay which may last several months, since thtre is no power In the Treasury Department to an ticipate the operation of the law by pre paring bonds in advance. . With the doubt thus involved of the amount of relief to be afforded to the money market by the op eration of the new law and of the time when the relief will be available transac tions on the Stock Exchange are much curtailed. Some of the buying of bonds yesterday wa attributed .to capital made available for reinvestment by the recent large sell ing of government bonds. Prices were gen erally well sustained. Total sales at par value were $1,733.000. United States old fours and fives advanced H and the threes 4 in the bid price. The new fours de clined U.

Trade Wi More Actlre and Price Were Steady and Firm. The bright weather, after two days of heavy rain, gave more life to trade yesterday, and at the dry goods houses, druggists, grocers, and, in fact, in all lines of trade, there was a percepti ble improvement. On Commission row more business was transacted than on any day of the last week or more. In prices there is little new to note, fluctuations In values being few and unimportant. The seed market Is a little firmer in tone, as la the flour - market. The leather and hide markets are more active at unchanged prices. Poultry, eggs and butter are steady at quotations. Receipts are light for March. Pro visions are In good request and prices are firm. The easier tone to the sugar market was re flected somewhat in the coffee market yester day. Canned goods and salt fish are in active demand. The local grain market continues dull on light receipts, all cereals being in active request at tho following range of prices on track, as fur nished by the secretary of the Board of Trade: Wheat No. 2 red. 69ic; track. 634c. on milling freight; No. 3 red. 654f?tsyic; January, 6J4c, track: wagon wheat. 69c.

CLOSING FIGURES MIXED CHICAGO GRAINS F IX CTX AT E ALONG LINES OF DIVERGENCE. Wheat Dovrn, Corn Hlßher and Oats A Fraction Lower Provision ln- T changed to a Shade Decline. CHICAGO, March 7. Wheat, during the first half of the session to-day, was steady, helped largely by higher cables, but yielded later to the lack of speculative demand, and closed barely steady. May c under yesterday. May corn closed a shade higher and May oats He lower. Provisions, at the close, were easy and practically unchanged. Wheat formed a moderately active mar ket at times, but generally both the specu lative and the cash prospect were bare, resulting In a very narrow range. May opened unchanged at 66c and, supported by St. Louis buying and higher cables ad vanced to 66H36CUC An unfavorable re port of crop conditions in Ohio, conjur ing up visions of damages in other States as well, received some consideration also. Till nearly noon tho market clung steadily around C6c. Then, influences in the shape of a break at St. Louis, liberal receipts and the light demand made themselves felt, bearing May to 65-c. The close was barely steady. May Sic down at 65QC5c. The unusually heavy receipts of flour, 175,000 brls, excited considerable interest here, but it is said that most of the stuff was In transit from Minneapolis. New York re ported fifteen loads of wheat taken for export. Atlantic port clearances, in wheat and flour, swere equal to 231.000 bu. Primary receipts were 577,000 bu. compared with ESO.0O0 bu last year. Minneapolis and Du luth reported 622 cars, against 532 last week and 399 a year ago. Receipts here were thirty-four cars, none of contract grad?. The corn market was strong nearly the whole session, yielding a bit at the end on profit-taking, but closing firm. The main support was the assertion that a Balti more exporter had taken 1,500,000 bu from here within the last two days. Cables were higher, country acceptances over night were small, and on good authority it was said there was an export rate of lOic on ccrn to Boston. The pit was moderately active and a big business was done. The weakness in wheat near the end caused t-ome timorous ones to take their profits while the chance existed. Local receipts were 277 cars, twenty-seven cars over the estimate. May ranged from 35c to 34Uc, and closed a shade up at 3335VbC. Oats were -very dull, steady most of the time with corn, but yielding finally with the wheat break. Traders were rather bearish, because under fair conditions seed ing will be under way soon in the South west and increased country offerings are looked for. Local receipts were 165 cars, twenty-five cars over the estimate. May sold from 23c to 23ftc, and closed c un der yesterday at 23c. The provisions pit was remarkable for its dullness. It was half deserted at times and trades were small and far between. There was. however. Just enough cash de mand to keep stocks from accumulating, and this, combined with the strength of corn, held the market steady after a fash ion. May pork ranged from $10.67H to $10.60 and closed 2c under yesterday at $10.60; May lard from $5.90 to S5.S7H. closing un changed at $5.87, and May ribs from $5.85 to $5.S2i, with the close unchanged at $5.82.

The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-morrow: The wool market baa been almost lneless since our last report. There has been but little inquiry for any kind of stock, as most manufacturers have been practically out of the market, being pretty well supplied for the time being and will not be tempted to buy. Those who are not plentifully supplied have been holding off. pending the opening of the London wool sales, and the fact that these sales opened on Tuesday at a decline of 74 to 10 per ctnt. has not been calculated to Induce them to hasten their purchases of the raw material. In such a dull condition of affairs the market is naturally a little weak, although at this writing owners of wool have not mani fested any marked disposition to press sales, as they we41 know that many manufacturers are so well stocked with wool that it would require considerable concession to induce them to take hold. The Bales of the week in Boston amounted to 1.800.000 lbs domestic and 85.000 lbs foreign, making a total of 1.8S5.000 lbs, against a total of 2.3:11,000 lbs for the previous week, and a total of 3.332.000 lbs for the corresponding week last year. The sales since Jan. 1 amount to 32,501.000 lbs, against 36,802,500 lbs for the corresponding time last year. LONDON. March 7. There was a full attend ance at the second day's session of the present series of wool auction. Trading was keener all around, the contlenet securing the most medium gTeasy wools. The home trade took principally scoureds. and cross-breds were well competed for by the home and American representatives.

' WASHINGTON, March 7. When James R. Sovereign, former general master work man of the Knights of Labor, resumed his testimony to-day at the Coeur d'Alene in vestigation before the House committee on military affairs, Representative Lentz asked him if there was any law, written or unwritten, requiring the members of a labor organization to conceal the names of criminals. Mr. Sovereign answered in the negative. Speaking of the general condition in the mining country, while the men were im prisoned. Sovereign said he had seen moth ers weeping for their sons, wives for their husbands, and sisters for their brothers. denouncing the military officers, for "the reign of bread and water," and describing It as a repetition of the horrors of Ander- sonville. The members of the committee cross-ex amined Mr. Sovereign several times. Mr. Hull asked him about the assembling of the miners on the morning the mill was blown up. The witness said there was some preconcerted action. At Mr. Hull s request. Mr. Sovereign read an article in the paper edited by him, as to "Bunker Mill De stroyed: One Thousand Men Wreak Venge ance on the Scab Mine." The article said that half of the one thousand men were masked and armed with Winchesters." and described the awe-inspiring scenes as three thousand pounds of dynamite were placed under the mine concentrator, one of the largest in the world, and It was completely wrecked alter tnree ternnc explosions.

UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS. March 7. Nearly 200 head of horses were offered In the regular auction sale, against 3o0 the same time last week, and an equal number the corresponding time a year ago. As usual recently, there were not many strictly choice harness horses represented in the arrivals, but quite a number of good drafters and chunks were offered, and the quality generally was satisfactory to buy ers. More favorable weather had a ten dency to stimulate the bidding at the start, and the early market was active. but dealers claimed there was no quotable advance in values. There is still quite a good inquiry for strong horses for farm use, and the demand for good mares for breeding purposes is of some importance. Most of the harness horses are being taken at private sale, and among those reported was a brown gelding five years old, 13 hands high, that was considered about the best horse offered here since the beginning of the year. He was owned and raised by Andy Schicketanz, of Plalnfleld. and sold to R. L. Kinney for G. W. Crawford, of Antwerp. Belgium, at $550. Mr. Kinney also paid $250 for a trotting mare with a trial record of 2:27. Inquiry among shippers In dicates that a great many good coach horses are held In tha country waiting for the export demand to open, and when this shall have happened It Is safe to say the Indianapolis market will be the scene of some extraordinary sales. New buyers are locating here from time to time, and It does not seem unwise to predict that be fore the close of the year this market will rank with the most Important in the coun try. Elsewhere.
