STOCK PRICES RECOVER IMPROVEMENT IX FOREIGN SIT UATION' THE CAUSE. Day's Transactions Very Small Ad vance in Amalgamated Copper. Railway Earnings Eall Off. NEW TORK. March 20. The demand for stock, with today's partial recover of yes terday's kiiw. waa not of an Important char acter. The dhriakage In the volume of the transactions Is Itself evidence of lhl fart. So also la the dlttributlon of the day's recover ies! on lines closely parallel with yesterday" decline. This Is pretty clear evidence always of the covering operation by nrofemionat beam. The responsibility of this element for somi part of yesterday's pressure on the market was evident from the character of come of the rumors circulated on the stock exchange and which were shown thin morr ing to be totally without foundation. Sudden failure of health and dtath for half a dozen prominent capltaHVtn were alleged, la the? rumors, which could only have been original ed In an attempt to deprrm prices. The de mand today to cover the short centracto put out during the circulation of tbeue rumors was a natural consequence, Foreign markets gave an impetus to the recover", owing to the encouragement felt over the proiect of a settlement of the dif ficulty over Morocco. News of actual de- velopmentst however, had little reflection In the market and offered no important changes from condition existing yesterday. The recovery in Amalgamated Copper gave rise to discussion of the growing foreign de mand for the metal, although the price In London yielded today after a sharp advance yesterday. Gross earnings of railroads reporting for tli second week In March shewed a decided shrinkage In the ratio of increase over laat year, compared with that rdnce the first of the year, which is attributed to the Increased difficulties of operation caused by the bad weather conditions. The last half hour of trading was the most active of the day. the demand from the short Interest shewing increased urgency. The closing tone wa firm and at about tho top level. Bonds were steady. Total alel, par value. $2.01-5.000. United States new- -Is advanced H per cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. Hlch. Low. Bid. Auums Express. Amal.

CLOSES AT LOWEST POINT Weather .Reports From Southwest JIaTC Depressing Effect on Val ues and No Support Is Given by Buyers. CHICAGO. Maren 20. Sentiment In the wheat pit throughout the day was bearish, and although prices at times were slightly above the ckxlng quotations of last night. there was a tendency toward lower values. There was no Influential buying In evidence and the market received Its principal support from shorts. Pit traders and commission houses were the chief sellers. The main en couragement of the bears was found In re ports from Kansas City that the prospects for a large crop of Winter wheat are dally growing brighter. Factor that etrengthened the market were Arm cables, and a decreased estimate of tho Argentine surplus available for export. The market closed easy with prices nt the lowest point of the day. The May option opened unchanged to 40 4c lower at 7SS07S to 784c sold between ,784c and 794c, and closed 4c lower at iS4c. Small local receipts and firm cables caused a steady corn market. May opened a shade lower to 4c higher, at 440444c to 444c, sold off to 41c and closed 4c lower at the low point. Oats were firm all day. May opened un changed at 304c sold up to 3048304c. and closed 4c higher at 304c. Provisions sold at prices which marked a, new high level for the season. Lard In par ticular was mrong. and had a bullish effect on the entire Hat. Shorts and local packers were active buyers. Later, however, the greater part of the gain wan lost on liberal profit-taking. A 5c to 10c advance In the price of live hogs and an excellent demand for cash, lard were the main bullish Influences. At the close. May pork wa up 74c. lard w a up 5c and rib, were a shade lower.
