There was short covering and mixed with It was a fair scattering of straight orders to buy wheat. The general contrariness of the market following a government re port was again illust:atecl. Liverpool was off in resp.onse thereto, and the report in _ Its estimate of 91.7 for general conditions waa more bearish than any year since ISSI. Against this the market gained over a cent. Support came from a consider able element who see 70c* as the point around which the market will hold for a time. The late decline was amply re t nSive to the :un of bearish news to date. If the remarkably favorable reports • continue, wheat must sink even lower.-but some are inclined to take hold now, be lieving the best that has been learned hag been fully discounted, and in view "of one or two other things t!vU are working into prominence, such as the improving cash sitralion and the possibility of crop dam ace. "While general conditions are nearly perfect, the presence of the Hessian fly is reported from s. large number of states. Texas especially has "the fly over a wide urea, and if the advices sent out are not exaggerated there is possibility of serious rievclor.mer.t.

Bar silver, New York .5!% 59^ Call money. New York 4-6 4%-/ NEW YORK, April Speculative liquidation was very clearly at work again in today's stock" market. It was offset .during the early part 06 the day by the aggressive strength shown by a handful of stocks. The advance in these was helped by violent manipulation, but it served to sustain the rest of the mar ket in the face of heavy selling until the call money fate ran up again, when the pressure to sell became greater than the absorptive power, and the market turned weak. Even.the notably strong stocks lost all of their gains as a rule, and the market closed dull and at about the lowest, and at considerable net loss except in a very few stocks. The arrival in London of J. P. Morgan, the New York financier, who has been the moving spir it in most of the recent vast financial projects In this country, aroused some expectation that the- London market would reflect his presence there and that action would be taken on some of the projects which have been supposed to bo waiting upon his coucseL The rumored Burlington deal was the most Important 'of these and the failure of official con firmation of the very positive assertions which have been current that this trans action was completed, had a good deal to do with the depression which perme ated the whole market as the day pro gressed. It is evident from the persist ence of disclaimers of the deal that an important minority of the stockholders is still opposed to it, even if It be true that actual control has passed to the ■Hill- Morgan inteiest. . The widespread belief in impending consolidations of import ance in the copper world made Amalga mated Copper very active and buoyant, but here . again , the failure of i expected official continuation aroused some feel ing of distrust among the speculators who had bought most largely and with least information, and the protit-taking cost the stock practically all of its—B^l point rise. The Chicago & North-Western stocks continued their remarkable rise, with the common advancing 13 points and the preferred 11 points, each of them showing £• points advance between sale 3. Denials from official s.-,..v, of the ru mored consolidation of this road ...:i Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha and with Union Pacific, caused a re action in the stock of 7%.. There were denials of the rumored sale of Consolidat ed Gas' real estate, causing a reaction oi 4 points from the stock's 5%-point rise. The advance of UV 4 in Rock Island on ru mors of buying fcr . control by Pennsyl vania was more than lost. Sugar rose an extreme 3*4 and saved more of its gain than other stocks. "The United States Steel stocks showed a not able relapse from their early strength, closing at net declines .of a fraction to a point. The selling pressure was most marked in Burlington and in Northern Pacific, and it was only for a brief period that they were lifted .at all over last night. The reaction in Burlington reached 5% and in Northern Pacific 2*;. The requirements of, the subtreasury and the demand from the interior con tinued to make inroad en banking re serves, and the refusal by the secretary of the treasury of bonds offered to him at the market price discourages the hope of relief from that source. The "harden ing of the money rate In London also causes, apprehension of a renewal of pressure for gold from that point, al though the higher mor.^y here was suf ficient to cause a yielding in the sterling exchange rate today. The weekly return of the. Bank of England shov. s that it has made heavy demands upon, the open market for repayment or loans and the coming, needs of t&e money market there give promise that » the : outside market must resort to the bank again which would make an advance in the bank rate effective in influencing the private count rate as well as the exchanges. The bond market was moderately active and yielded in sympathy with the late re action in stocks. Total sales, par value, $4,3±a,000. United States old 4s advanced ~-4 per cent on the last call.

Veals are selling strong to 25 centa higher than last week. Bulls steady and active. In the stock and feeuing divi sion the good cattle nave all been raovci quickly at price 3 averaging struitg to 15 cents higher. This applies to all weights from stock calves up to feeders. To sum it up in a few words it has bees as good a week as we have had in months o:i the good cattle and just as bad on the common cattle as at any time in the past. We sold feeders today at $4.25, while black Poles and Galloways (sto"ker3 weighing around SCO pounds) sold at $5.v0. Oil the otner hand we have sold scrubs as low as $2.

Very many large holders of stocks will avail themselves of the present op portunity to reduce their responsibilities and it would rather stand to* reason that stocks sold now can be replaced at a low er price during the approaching period of comparative crv.iet. While we do not wish, to be understood as expressing strictly bearish views, by any means, we wish to call the attention of those who are extensively operating in purely spec-_ ulative shares that a profit taken at this time may be a wise thing. Without wish ing to urge upon our friends liquid:ton which will be distasteful to them, we wish distinctly to be understood as say ing that it would be a wise thing, in many - cases, at all events, to give the matter careful consideration."
