There were about 100 calves on sale, and demand was slow at about last week's prices.

WHEAT MUCH DEPRESSED. Prices Bale Weak and, Lower Throcgfaont the Day Only One "or Two Bailies, but They Were-Temporary News or a Gen erally Discouraging Nature. CHICAGO Tbe wheat market showed much depression throughout most of the session, and prices were generally weak and lower. There were one or two rallies,, but the strength was only temporary, and the close was within He of the lowest point touched during the session, and shows a lost of lo 'compared with Saturday's closing figures. Tho news was generally discourag ing. Weather conditions were an Import ant factor, as they were reported favorable almost everywhere, not only for the winter wheat, but for the early commencement of spring seeding operations. There was no coia weatner reporieu aujruo, m even in the extreme northern part or North Dakota the temperature was said to be S6 above zero. Another bear factor was the weak cables; Liverpool was -reported 'Jd lower and London from 3d tO"9d lower, while all domestic markets were very much depressed, New Tork. falling off 1c" and Duluth and Jllnneapolis abont as much. Re ceipts continued liberal everywhere, with a rally In the Northwest and the indica tions irom the start were there -would be a very considerable increase in the .visible supply. Many discouraged holders started to sell at tbe tap of the bell, and for a time the pressure was heavy and May starting at Eo and touching 88c, sold off to 8S$c, with only a slight de mand. When the price got down to 8c, however, tho shorts began to take advan tage of the drop to cover and there was a gradual rally to 8SJc. A report that the weather in France continued very cold, tbat there was some export buying In New Tork and that 150 000 bushels had been worked at Detroit nas also some help In bringing about the Improvement. When the increase of 445,000 bushels in the visible supply was reported the market lost a little But this was subsequently recovered. Among the dispatches received from abroad was one that" the Liverpool Corn Trade Sews had reduced Its estimate' of the weekly European requirements from 7.6S0, 000 bushels to less than 7.000,000 bushels. This, In effect, is reducing the estimate of the needs of Europe this year over 35,000,000. or, in other words, that much less American wheat will be required. During most of the last hour, the market held steady at 88S8Jc, but, grew very weak during the last ten minutes and touched the lowest point of the ' day, SSc, closing weak at &c. The break near tue close was attributed to a cessation of the demand by sboits and w eak cables. The clearances of wheat from the seaboard Si turdav were 711,000 bushels of wheat and 11,000 barrels of fl our. Latecables quoted fans lower, with Berlin higher on spot, but lower on futures. Pardrtdge made a pretense of selling some wheat, but was generally believed to be buying heavily through brokers to cover his short line and secure nis profits. New Tork houses were heavy buyers on the break. Corn was quiet and weak, but held its own much better than wheat, the decline being only about c. The receipts were In excess of the estimate by some 50 cars, and in cluded 19 cars of contract. Trade was slow and the offerlngsi were fair. The shipping demand was slow. The close was at a loss or V,c, compared with Saturday's. t Oats were quiet and weak during most of the session, but closed with a g-ilu of Jc Hog products were stronger, especially for pork. Live hog receipts were below the estimate and prices at the yards 510s higher. After marking an advance of 20c pork closed with a gain of 15c. Lard and ribs 2c higher.

A MATBIKOHIAL BUREAU. j - An Apparently Necessary Adjunct to Sec retary Bosk's Department. Washington, March ' A. Special.' Secretary Busk is -thinking seriously of establishing a matrimonial bureau in con nection with the Agricultural Department. The idea was suggested by a letter he re cently received from a man out West who experimented with some of the cucumber seed sent him by the department at the in stance of his representative in Congress. It appears the former planted the cucumber seed, and his wife afterward died from eat ing some of the cucumbers. The farmer, in his letter to Secretary Busk, said: "Your blamed cucumbers robbed me of my wife, so instead of sending me cucumber seed this spring, send me an other wife.- I hear there are a number of likely women in your department." In "reply Secretary Busk said be bad no appropriation from which he could draw money to send a wife to the widower, but suggested that the latter come to Washing ton and pick ont one for himself. Tbe Sec retary informed his correspondent that he has in the department "some beautiful maidens, many spriehtly widows, and sev eral well-seasoned old maids."

WHAT THE ARCHITECTS AEE DOING Speculation Drops Off, but Values Show So Signs of Weakening. OFFICE AND STREET SEWS AND GOSSIP The announcement that Alles Bros. & Co. have closed the preliminaries for the purchase of several hundred acres of unim proved land it of value, as showing that the suburban districts are filling up so fast that additional subdivisions are necessary to keep up a supply of lots. The outskirts are being compactly built up. New plans in many cases are continuations of former , i!Jt ..J Jlj ones, xney are not wiueiy separavcu twu at unreasonable distances from the business center, as in Chicago and some other cities. Rapid transit has or soon will penetrate every nook and corner, annihilating dis tance( and making residence almost any where convenient and comfortable. This is substantial development, and while it con tinues there need be no fear on the part of either owners or buyers of surfeiting the market. It will take years to oversell or overbuild Pittsburg. What Architects Are Doin-r. Pittsburg architects, while not rushed with work, are comfortably busy. Several of them called on yesterday- reported con siderable business on hand, consisting mostly of plans for rural homes, of which a -large number are under way or in contemplation. ' Mr. Edward Stotz said, while business was scarcely up to expectations, it was bet ter than a year ago, with a very encourag ing outlook. In his, opinion labor trouble is the only thing' that 'will prevent a large amount of building this year, and he has not much fear' oi' that. J. W. Offerman is making plans for several high-class resi dences. Mr.' Steen and Mr. Brickie have a number of business houses on hand, among which may be' mentioned those 'oi Keech, Wade, Ewart, Bennett and Vandergrift. It is worthy df remark that Pittsburg architects are covering more territory thau uuaL Their services are in demand in rll the Im portant towns in Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and West Virginia. .

GOOD ADVANCES SCORED BT SOME OF THE SPECIALTIES. i i Philadelphia Gas smd Switch and Signal Conspicuously Strang Tbe Tractions Not Far Bhlnd, With a Strong Disposi tion to Conttnne the Forward Move ment. Stock trading yesterday was on a moder ate basis, bnt there wero some strong features which compensated in some sort for the shortage in business. Philadelphia Gas and Switch and Signal displayed great strength, advancing almost a point each, and closing at the tojiof'tDe day. Talk of a dividend'' and impioved anancial standing generally helped tbe "f former, while the latter waa boomed on large orders for work and the belief that the management will again fall Into local hands. i The street railways showed a stronger tone all round.

Very Little Dolrig tor Foreign Account, but Support in Coal Stock Proves a Factor In the Improved Tone Richmond Securi ties Comparatively Quiet. New York, March 7. The stock market to day was not so active as on Saturday, nor were the movements on so large a scale, eventhougb there were five hours of busi ness in place of two. There was on the whole a firm temper to thevtiealtngs, but. considerable irregularity existed, and while the Vandetbilts displayed tbe most pro nounced strength, the Coalers, Industrials and New England were specially .weak at times, especially during the forenoon. A furtber engagement of gold for export had some Influence in creating a bearish temper but there was no renewifl of the trade of Saturday and prices weie left more to their natural bent and with the removal of tbe pressure a firmer tone was developed. There was very littlo doing for foreign account but better support in the coal stock was a factor in the improved tone while tbe posi tive strength shown by Lake Shore and later by Northwestern brought the whole list along in tbe afternoon. Tbe Richmond and West Point securities were comparatively quiet during the forenoon but the stocks rallied sharply and the bonds later In the day more than recovered the loss of the last few days. The Grangers in general were well supported though St. Paul on a large business fluctuated within the narrowest limits and remained during the entire day in the neighborhood of 80, but as the day wore along the entire list showed less feverlshness and prices rose slowly in response to tbe more settled feel ing in the morning. Reading and New England were again the features, but while the latter rose slowly with the general list the former was in full supply around 55 and failed to legain.its early loss. Among the specialties, the New York, Susquehanna and Western stocks were again strong and Com paratively active; the preferred making a material improvement, wniie coraage dropped zy, per cent, only a small portion of which was regained during the afternoon. The stocks, however, remained feverish and unsettled to the end, and In the last hour there was tbe most determined raid of tbe day made on the list when Reading, Lake Shore, Northwestern and New England were materially depressed, Lake Shore losing al most all of its heavy gain of the forenoon. The opening of the general, list was In motcises fractionally better than Satur day's final figures, while Missouri 'Pacific, for no apparent reason, was un IU ner cent and Onuba and Delaware and 'Hudxon 6 per cent. . xnere was no setneu tonuency iu prices during the entire session and periods of weakness alternated with periods of strength throughout the entire day. The raid in the last hour, however, brought almost everything traded in down to tbe lowest points of the day, but especially in the lenders, -In the last few minutes, the market closing active and unset tled generally at fractional losses for the day. Reading, however, is down 2t, Jersey Central 2 and New England 1 per cent, while the low-priced specialties retained most of their gains, and the Richmond and West Point preferred closed at 67K, the highest price of the day and 2 better than Saturday. Railway bonds were rather quiet until the afternoon when the number of issues traded In became larger and Increased activity In the Richmond and West Point issues added character to a market which had lacked features. These bonds were again strong and while reacting in the last nour under pressure still stood the Important gains of the day, 5s being up 3 and the 6s, 2 at 63, and 96 respectively.

Tbe week started off In good shape at the banks, but there were no new features. The Inflow of funds was gieater than the output. There is scarcely a donty 'that these condi tions will be reversed when the spring trade sets In.- A seastfl of good greather Is all that is needed to release the pent-up energies of the country. Nearly all loans were on the basis of 6 per cent. Bank clearings were 12,301,5:8 63, and balances, $392,072 07. The current number of tbe Financial Chronicle says In regard to money: "While there Is no change In the market for call loans there Is a firmer tone for time con tracts and for commercial paper, occasioned to some extent by expectations of an im provement in business and also by the pros pect that, owing to continued gold ship ments, the supply will be drawn down. On call money repiesentlng bankers' balances has loaned at 2 and at 1 per cent, with the largest business at the higher figure, so that the uvciage has been close to 2 per cent, at which renewals have been made." At New York money on call was easy at 12 per cent; last loan 2 per cent, closed oueredat 2 per cent. Prime mercantile paper at 405 per cent Sterling exohange quiet and easier at $4 85 for CO days and $4 87 for demand. Closing; Bond Quotations. U. S. 4srrg 118X M.. K. ft T.
