All the mar kets were quiet and the local pit reflected the general tone, nor was there anything in the news of the gossip of very great im portance. May touched 75% cm the early trades, dosing at 75c. July closed at 7:7.-i- and September 68% @6 Snow's review of crop conditions for the week is as follows: "weather conditions for th<' last week have been highly favor able for the prosecution of all faim work and satisfactory for the sturdy and not too rapid development of spring crops. The soil in most sections east of the Mis souri river is full of moisture, but the surface is drying out rapidly. Good progress is now being made in plowing for corn. Only fair progress was made this week in seeding spring wheat. In South Dakota the greater part of the acreage has been seeded. In North Da kota seeding operations are little if any more delayed than usual. Winter wheat maintains its exceptional promise and it has now reached a position where it may be assumed that the condition on May 1 will be almost if not quite as near per fectlon as it was on April 1. This means that the crop has reached a period when the beginning of harvest is only 30 days away, with a promise everywhere that seems little short of the full capacity of the soil." Minneapolis received 142 cars, against 134 last year. The cash market was quiet and steady, millers taking the bulk of the offerings. The following was the range of prices: Closing Wheat— Year Open.

Flour —The week was one of such unusu al conditions as to afford little opportunity to judge of the real merit of the market. As a result of the closing down of the mills in the week previous, the shipments on Monday and Tuesday fell to low points not before recalled, and amounted to prac tically nothing. Since then there has been some recovery, but nothing like a return to normal conditions. Millers say the situation is yet too indefinite to make predictions for this week. It is learned, however, that general demand for fiour shows some slight improvement and that foreign inquiry is better, while the re mission of the war tax by the British government is looked to to help the for eign demand later on.

PAUL GLOBE, SUNDAY, APRIL 2<J, 1903. STOCKS ACTIVE, WEAK THUS THEY CLOSE, AFTER A TEMPORARY ADVANCE Better Prices Prevail for a Time After the Appearance of a Favorable Bank Statement—Market Is a Waiting One. With Outside . Interest Still Lacking. NEW YORK, April 25.—Today's market gave abundant evidence that the professional traders had it entirely to themselves. The outside public con tinued profoundly indifferent to the market. The disposition of the pro fessional traders plainly was to set out of their holdings of long stock. Some stress was laid in the gossip O f the street upon a fear that the situation created by Russia's new demands in Manchuria might develop a crisis. But the government securities of the na tions most interested pave no intima tion that such a crisis might become acute over Sunday. Of more immediate effect was the renewed weakness caused in Metropol itan Street Railway by the veiled inti mations of matter for investigation by the district attorney's office in the af fairs of the corporation. Metropolitan Street Railway itself dr< -»d 3 points. Metropolitan Securities and the other local tractions a point or more in sym pathy. The market was mostly a wait ing- one until the appearance of the bank statement, which was regarded as favorable, although the cash in crease did not equal the maximum es timates of yesterday. The loan de crease of $4,582,200 contributed to raise the percentage of reserves to de posits, the surplus rising $4,977,825. to $10,1)85,475. Loan Decrease Significant. As there has been considerable liquidation during the week of local obligations to foreign lenders, which probably involved reborrowir.g from the local banks, the loan decrease sains additional significance. The strong weekly statement of the Imperial Bank of Germany today completed the rec ord for the great foreign banks of ef fective recuperation. Prices of stocks rose on the bank statement, but a rather eager desire to sell at the ad vance carried prices backward to the lowest, and the closing 1 was active and weak, with net losses of a point or over for the principal active stocks. Prices have moved in a halting and Inconclusive manner in the stock mar ket this week, although the level was at one time considerably above that of last Saturday. Bonds have fared rather better than stocks, in spite of a dull market. Some buying of new bond issues and of 4 per cent railroad bonds selling below par has not been noticed. United States 2s and old 4s coupon declined 1-4 per cent, the 3s registered and old 4s registered 1-2 per cent, and the 3s coupon 3-4 per cent. The new 4s ad vanced 1-2 as compared with the clos ing call of last week.

April 25.—Although of ficial confirmation is lacking, it is known that several large trust companies, fol lowing the lead of the Union Trust com pany, have practically decided to sever their clearing house connections. These later companies include the Mercantile Trust company and the Trust Company of America. The Mercantile Trust, which is closely identified with Kquitable inter ests, clears through th.. Western National bank, and the Trust Company of Amer ica, a comparatively new company, clears through the Hanover National bank. The action of the Mercantile Tru<;t company in Riving up its clearing privilege is reg arded as important, as the company has more than $50,000,000 on deposit. QUOTATIONS IN NEW YORK.

CHICAGO, April 25.—Trading in the grain and provision pits was rather dull today, and an easier tone pre vailed in wheat, May closing 5-Sc low er and July 3-8 c lower. May corn closed 3-B@l-2c higher, with July un changed, and May oats were a shade lower, with July down l-Bc. Provi sions closed steady, the July products being unchanged to 2 l-2c lower. There was little of conspicuous char acter in the trading in wheat, and the market on the whole was dull. Open ing prices were easier, due to the low er cables, and May was unchanged to l-8c lower, at 77 7-8 @77 3-4 c, but July was a shade to 1-Sc higher, at 72 1-2 ©72 5-Sc to 72 5-Bc. The strength in corn had a somewhat bullish effect early, and under this influence May sold up to 77 7-Sc and July to 72 3-4 c, but the improved feeling was only mo mentary, for with selling by pit traders and brokers the market gradually de clined. Later in the day quite a se vere break occurred on scattered liqui dation in the nearby months, and May slumped to 76 3-4 c, while July sold off to 72 1-S@72 l-4c. Active support was lacking, and weakness continued till the close, which showed a los 3 on May of 5-Bc, at 77 l-Bc. July closed 1-8(5) l-4c lower, at 72 1-4(5*72 3-Bc. Clear ances of wheat and flour were equal to 395.600 bushels. Primary receipts were 346,000 bushels, against 215.000 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 174 cars, which with local receipts of 20 cars, none of contract grade, made total receipts for the three points of 194 cars, against 190 cars last week and 186 cars a year ago. Firmness in Corn. A good commission house demand for both May and July corn was responsi ble for the strength which was mani fested in that pit, and with little on the market at any time, the firmness was well maintained. Higher cables had a strengthening influence at the opening, and with a good cash demand with small receipts, local shorts were considerably alarmed at the prospects and covered freely. The weakness in wheat had little effect on corn values and closing prices were firm, May be ing- 3-S@l-2c higher, at 45 l-4c, and July unchanged at 45 l-2c. Local re ceipts wore 49 cars, none of contract grade. Oats started strong, helped by the bullish tendency in corn and on small receipts, but at the higher figures in fluential selling by commission houses caused a reaction and the market broke quite badly, July declining l-2c. Prices were steady the latter part of the session, and July closed l-8c lower, at 31 5-Bc, with May a shade lower, at 34 l-4c. Local receipts were 106 cars. There was considerable realizing by local longs in provisions, but offerings were well taken by brokers, and prices held steady. July pork closed unchang ed at $17.47 1-2; July lard was 2 l-2o lower, at $9.62 l-2@9.65, and ribs were of a shade at $9.65<g>9.67 1-2. The estimated receipts for Monday are: Wheat, 40 cars; corn, 85 cars; oats, 155 cars, and 28,000 head of hogs. Range of Quotations.
