Stock Market Letters. James A Pollock .t Co . stock and grain brokers, 6 West Second South street, make public tho following letters on tho stock market Logon & Bryan, New York, say: ".Market Is closing lower and weak, with pressure qullu pronounced on high-priced lallroml issues. Rallies throughout tho session have bcon frequent, fre-quent, but wcro short lived .with market closing clos-ing but llttlo ubovo low point for the day Tho action of tho market hpoiiis to suggest liquidation, by no means violent, hut still a drlbbllnc out on nny show of strength. Sentiment Is not qulto so unanimous in favor of bolter prices right awny. Monoy shown 'homo tendency to hnrden On the wholo market mar-ket seemed to present a very tired nppur-ance. nppur-ance. It has cloarly lost Its snap nnd acts as It It wanjed to drag ponio lower." Mnrsliall Spader & So, Now York, pay: H Is not too much to Kay that tho discovery of largo holdings of slocks In London for New York lias been tho recent cuuso of tho oell-lng oell-lng of these share In their market and our own. Tho lead In this movoment was taken by tho Vandcrbllta and Union Pacific, and of course it Included United States Steeb and tho Internatlonol list. Tho hardening of oxchongo today nnd yesterday is significant In this connection, con-nection, though money rates continue practically prac-tically unchanged from tho recent paat, with a tendency toward a higher level. Tho main factor Is tho foreign situation should peace talk become moro positive." Ilutton, Now York, says: "Tho fcaturo today to-day was tho heavy soiling for foreign accounts, ac-counts, estimated betweon 60.000 and CO, 000 shares. This was caused by International anxloty In Russia aa regards Its futuro political po-litical situation. Securities wcro well taken on the decline. Commission Iiouhou helped tho selling movement, fearing higher money rates In tho next few days, nnd that this would afTecl security values. Wo aro of th belief thnt present mnrkot Is discounting tho worst features. It Is said by prominent bank-era bank-era that funds will be very' cheap ufier April 1 and remain no all summor, henco wo arts assured as-sured that present btock values havo practically prac-tically dlscountird nny technical jKirfltlon unfavorable un-favorable for 11 few da"3. Wo expect higher prices tomorrow." Dick, Now York, says: "Market has been heavy today, showing rather persistent pressure press-ure and not much nupiwrf except from spots. Buying of tho latter sort brought about several sev-eral rullles, but stocks seemed to coino out on tho strong PiotH. Thero was not much now. Monoy rales did not advance. Railroad returns, re-turns, particularly thoso by Beading for February, Feb-ruary, wcro disappointing. Slosa Shoflleld mado a very unfavorable annual report. Rumors Ru-mors of flnnnclal troubles nt St. Petersburg and Paris hud somo effect and worn given color by rather heavy foreign selling. Tho market closed heavy In tone." Grain and Provisions. CHICAGO, March 2S. IteportH from all sections of tho Southwest telling of tho vigorous condition of fall sown wheat had a decidedly weakening effect on tho market mar-ket hero today. Wheat for July delivery closed with a loss of UfcfilWc. May corn Is down )'3c. Oats uro off c. Provisions Provis-ions nro down 2J25'12MrC. Weakness was manifested in the wheat market from tho start, the July dcllvory opening ifc lower to a shndo higher, nt 6ttEKc May was unchanged to He higher at ?L12$S;aJ2ft. -Lo5Ver prices ata Liverpool and continued excellent weather conditions In the United States wcro the factors contributing to tho initial weakness weak-ness of tho July option. A fcoblo rally occurred shortly after tho opening, rcsull-i'IGiv, rcsull-i'IGiv, n Ma7 advancing to Jl.13 and July to 0014c Moderato receipts in tho North-" west wcro partly responsible for the upturn. up-turn. Tho show of strength, however, was only momentary, tho market soon easing off again on persistent selling of July Tho May option was comparatively compara-tively Inactlvo throughout the dav. Many additional reports regarding the excellent condition of tho new crop were received and theso added to tho weakness of the situation. Ono example of these bearish advices was a report estimating tho total yield of wheat In Kansas at 115.fXW.000 bushels, which Is -15,000,000 bushels In excess ex-cess of tho average crop. The market be-camo be-camo extremely weak lato In the liny on general selling by local traders. In addition addi-tion to selling by both Northwestern and southwestern houses. July declined to Sl'Sic, and May to 51.13?4. The close was almost at tho lowest point of the dny, flnnl quotations on July being at S33Ac May closed at $1 12, a net loss of V-c. Clearances of wheat and flour "wero equal to H.TOO bushels. Primary receipts woro K2,70O bushels, compared with 37fi.-SO0 37fi.-SO0 bushels n year ago World's visible Guppjy, as shown by Bradstreet's, decreased de-creased 3.000.000 bushels Minneapolis, D11-luth D11-luth and Chlcngo reported receipts of 230 cars, against 21G cars last week and 251 cars a year ago. Sentiment In tho corn pit was bearish, and prices showed a material decline. May opened a shndo lower nt 4Sc, sold up to -JSc. and then declined to .ic. Hie close was nt -iTc Local receipts wero 001 cars, with threo of contract grade. Good weather, the break In other grains, nnd the weakness of the cash article, caused heavy liquidation of oats, resulting In declines In all options. Mav opened unchanged at C0fcc. sold between MVo and Mic and closed nt 2DWc. Local receipts wore 23d cars. Provisions were weak.
