The following grain and stock letters v yesterday wired to St. Paul brokers heir Xew York and Chicago corre ■ tits: 3d, Doran & Co.'s Chicago grain letter Buys: Wheat —Wheat was nervous during the U g but the trend was upward and before the close most of Monday's de cline was recovered. The selling of the pa si few clays was evidently overdone and think liquidation has been pretty thorough. The market is still a local one, li is chief drawback to a sustained advance. We feel friendly, however, to old July and think It will do to buy for pr« s. nt. The old bull interest took an active part in the trading, buying old July openly and selling at times through commission houses. It is generally ?ht the day's purchases exceeded the reports from Indiana. Ohio and Michigan suggest 25 to 30 per cent of a crop.-*. n—The weakness in May and the (~ ; ins by some of larger .shorts were x features in the trade. The discount of the May under deferred futures was further widened. The strength in wheat ■w !s a sympathetic help. The statistical news was largely bearish. Only eight Cars were transferred from private houses, tie- decline in May checking the move ment. The demand is still limited, and such as there is is chiefly for yellow for domestic consumption. Export bids from Liverpool "were 1% under Monday's fig ttres. The cash market was easier, rul frona l%c to 2c lower. Oats —Oats were strong on shorts cover- Ing »nd in sympathy with wheat. Cash bouses were buyers of May. presumably taking in hedges. Trade on the wheat -mall. Receipts were one-half what they were a year ago. The demand for shipment East was slow, but the South Is a fair buyer. O'Connor 6c Van Bergen's stock letter i About the only matter discussed or af fecting sentiment was the probable ex tent of gold export movement and appre ciation of fact that greater part of it Is In the Panama canal payment. Money do not give slightest indication of discounting any probable adverse result of the outflow. Nevertheless the loss of g-oid in this way always has sentimental depressing influence on the street, and this time it is no exception. The stock mar ket, as we have recently several times repeated, resolved itself into a traders' affair pure and simple, with probably a downward tendency. While a greater part of the recent selling has been for short Becoant. there has also been more or less liuuidation from discouraged holders, who have become disappointed at the with drawal of the large interests who were a few weeks ago so active in advancing prices, but now are apparently letting the market shift for itself. Another reason perhaps for the absence of buying power Btay be found in the advice some con servative houses a"re giving their cus tomers to await results of the presidential conventions. We see no reason at the Inoim-nt to change our views on the gen eial status of the market and would sug gest the taking of quick profits until something occurs to infuse more con fidence into the situation. J. C. Geraghty <fc Co.'s correspondents I f stocks: Logan & Bryan—Traders sold stocks Monday on the dullness, and as heretofore bought them back on the small OfOrings. There seems to be nothing else In the market at the moment. It is whol ly a waiting market with the owners of Stocks evidently well satisfied with their property. The large exports of gold are not considered of importance, and there is Nothing in sight to disturb the easy money Situation. With an indifferent public any thing in the way TJf a continued advance not seem likely, but on the other band, the bears have not much to go on. and when they are disposed to sell stocks Cheap they may be bought for moderate profits. Walker Bros.—The market at the open- Ing was very dull and trading light. This stale of affairs continued until afternoon. When traders began to buy up some of the active stocks. Shorts covered and the market became quite strong. There was little stock for sale. Dick Bios. —The market has been very 'dull, but the tone was considerably firm er than Monday. The closing showed slight recessions, but most stocks made Blight net advances. Late in the day it ■wis rumored that the Panama payments had been made in Paris, and that drafts wiil 'in made direct upon the United States treasury. Atchison made a very lV."rnble march report, but .the figures did nqt help the stock much. Coffee and Sugar. NEW YORK, April 26.—The market for coffee futures opened steady at un changed prices, a decline of 5 points un dn- moderate liquidation, following rather disappointing European cables and con d fully p'imary receipts. Trading was fairly active, following call, but was mostly of a switching character, with .trade interests taking May from smaller long against late selling positions. Dur ing the session prices lost a little more beii.g at one time 5 to 10 points net low r, but toward the close steadied up oi!e or two positions and the market was finally steady at net unchanged prices to a decline of in points.

STOCKS DEADER STILL EVEN A CHECK IN DECLINE DIS COURAGES ACTIVITY Most Active Stock Is Steel Preferred, Which Shows Recovery—More Gold Goes Out, In Connection With Panama Payment, Probably. NEW YORK. April 26.—Today"s stock market was even more listless and apa thetic than that of yesterday. The free declining tendency of yesterday was ar rested, but this discouraged rather than fostered activity. What the traders re quire is a movement of prices whether up or down. The arrest of the decline, there fore, prompted the retirement of the light contracts that had been put out on the short side. The movement had no news to account for it, and there was no symptom of any large demand in any quarter. United States Steel preferred was the most active stock, and its re covery was in face of the practical con firmation of the report prevalent yester day of the early dissolution of the pre ferred stock conversion syndicate, on which the stock declined then. The second mortgage bonds were sold down in the early market to the extent of a point. The selling was attributed to members of the syndicate to provide cash to meet the expected call to complete the payment for that portion of bonds for which the syndicate agreed to pay cash, or against the expected delivery of bonds which the syndicate is still to receive. The point was made that the light buy ing of steel for account of the railroads is due to their inability to place bond is sues as desired. But this view conflicts with the argument that the large tem porary borrowings by the railroad are to continue improvements to which they were already committed before the block ade in the bond market. Another note issue announced today by a subsidiary company of the Metropolitan Street Raif way was explained to be for the reim bursement of the parent company for im provements already made and for which the bonds provided could not be marketed. The Gold Shipments. An initial engagement of gold for Thursday's steamer was made today, and bills sold in the exchange market were supposed to be against other shipments in contemplation. The attorney general was quoted as saying that the formal transfer of the payment for the Panama canal would be made in two or three days, which strengthened the belief that the gold outgo is a provision against the coming remittance to Paris. The money market was entirely unaffected, the demand for time loans being little more than nominal. Weekly gross earn ings of railroads reporting were lower than last year, .and the net increase for March reported for the Atchison was without effect on that stock. The weekly bulletin of the weather bu reau on th£. crops was not a helpful factor, in spite of the improved condition re ported in the western part of the winter wheat belt, the large producing sec tion. The continued delay in the spring wheat planting and * the pros pect of its prolongation was regarded with solicitude over the dangers thus implied for the coming crop. The appearance of bets on nominations and election of pres idential candidates on the curb is a re minder of a repressive influence on the market destined to gain In influence. The recovery' of a large fraction in United States Steel preferred was the only move ment of any significance In the day's mar ket. The closing was heavy and stag nant. Bonds were irregular.

WHEAT ENDS STRONG LIKE THE OTHER GRAINS, IT SCORES AN ADVANCE Heavy Decrease in the Visible Supply and a Larger Export Demand Help the Bulls to an Inning—Market Very Bull ish in Closing Hour. < HRAGO, April 26.—A largely decreas ed visible supply coupled with a decidedly increased export demand caused a strong mush in the wheat pit today. The July delivery is up l%c. Corn made a net -,a,^ l °/ T*C' oats *»®%C and provisions In the face of lower cables there was an active general demand for wheat at the opening today. Initial quotations on !?L&wei^ c lower to '*c "««" ei. at 8-raS-'fse. The action of a big trad er, whose operations are closely watched by the pit crowd, had considerable to do with the day'a developments. During the first hour there was good bliying credited to him A C4uick advance followed in prices, the July option making a gain of about i.e. The market then declined as rapidly as it had risen. The cause of the break Mas a wild scramble o n the part of early buyers to secure profits the impression becoming general that the'bull leader had turned seller. The market re ceived little support on the way down. On the decline the price of July dropped to Sl3:,c. A resumption of purchases by the principal holder induced active cover ing by shorts, and prices again started upward. During the last hour of trading the market was extremely bullish, the news in genera] being decidedly favorable to buyers. One of the factors in the late situation was the showing in the world's available stocks of wheat as given out by Bradstreets. The statistics claimed a net increase of 878.000 bushels, but the increase was entirely by European addi tions, a decrease of 2,000,006 bushels being shown In the visible supply of wheat for America east of the Rocky mountains. Another influence was the big export busi ness transacted in Manitoba wheat. Strong cash markets, especially in tho, Northwest, were additional bull factory There was also a number of crop damage reports. The market closed at the high est point of the day. final figures on July being at 8314 c. after the price had touched S3 Ufa 80 %c. May sold between 85%e and S6%c. and closed at 86% c. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal.to 71.500 bushels. Primary receipts were 204.800 bushels, compared with 339, --500 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis' and Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 102 cars, against 161 cars last we< Jk and 172 cars a year ago. Corn Is Likewise Bullish. Notwithstanding a rather unsettled feel ing in the corn pit. sentiment, on the whole, was bullish. The start was com paratively steady on a fair commission house demand, but on general .selling, due to increased receipts, better grading and lower cables, the market became weak. The early break in wheat had a depressing inlluerice on corn prices. On the decline shorts covered freely and the situation turned strong, the July delivery selling up l%c in a very short time. Strength in wheat was the late bull factor. Al though the market did not maintain all the advance, the close was strong. July opened a shade lower to a shade higher, at 47Vi<k'47%e, sold between 46%e and 4814 c. and closed at 48%C>4&%c. May closed at 46% c. Local receipts were 308 cais, with 74 of contract grade. A bullish sentiment pervaded the oats pit. the market being independently strong. Shorts were active buyers through out the entire day and there was also a good demand from commission houses. The break in wheat and corn caused a slight recession in prices, but the reac tion was only temporary, the demand be ing sufficient to bring about a quick re covery. Weather and unfavorable crop advices were the principal bull factors. The market closed strong, with prices near the top. July opened %fl%c higher, at :'.6'</-">t> ls<'. ranged between M\~»c and 36% c, and closed at 363 5^/ OGV2C. Local receipts were 75 cars. Heavy buying in provisions by brokers caused firmness at the opening. There was some liquidation of May products through commission nouses, but offerings were "not excessive until the weakness in grains caused quite general realizing. Prices eased off in sympathy with the de cline in grains, but soon rallied again. The close was firm, with July pork up 7%@10c, at $12.30. July lard and ribs were each up 7%c, at $6.87% and $ti.65 re spectively. Range of Quotations. The leading futures ranged as follows: 1 Open. | High. 1 Low. 1 Close.
