THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL.
OPEN AT AN ADVANCE
Several of the Railroad Stocks Are
Conspicuous Features.
PRICES RUN OFF IN SELLING
Then There la a Rally and the Mar
ket (inins in Strength Daring:
the Forenoon.
New York, April 24.—Union Pacific, North
ern Pacific, St. Paul and Burlington were
conspicuous features at the opening at ad
vances of 1 to i? 4. The opening in Union
Pacific was' wide on the purchase of 8,000
shares. Amalgamated Copper was lifted IV4-
Aside from these stocks the opening was
rather quiet and fractional net gains were
the rule; but among the few declines there
were losses of 1 to l'£ in New York Central,
Northwestern and American Tobacco. The
higher prices for Americans in London helped
the opening here and there were supporting
orders by local operators.
Selling was very large for a time after tbe
opening and prices ran off to some extent,
but determined support was offered by bulls,
who absorbed some very large blocks, and
the bears finally bought to cover shorts and
prices advanced all around. Room traders
helped the rally by bidding for large amounts
of St. Paul, Atchison, Union Pacific, North
ern Pacific and United States Steel. Stocks
which had opened off recovered their losses,
and Northwest rose 2 points above yester
day's close. Sugar, People's Gas, Consoli
dated Gas and the Tractions made substan
tial gains and were unusualiy active. Busi
ness was very animated at intervals, but be
came quieter after the selling was checked.
St. Paul, Union and Northern Pacific were
the most actively dealt in, and rose above
the opening level on the rebound.
The market gained in strength during the
forenoon, speculative buying of the active
stocks being induced by the heavy purchases
of Union Pacific, which carried it up 5%, to
103%, the record price. The preferred stock
gained 3 and the convertible bonds 1%. South
ern Pacific rose concurrently to 52, St. Paul
was 4 points above yesterday and Northern
Pacific 2%. Minor railroads and miscella
neous stocks showed strength. Lake Erie &
Western, Colorado Fuel, National Biscuit,
American Linseed and Wisconsin Central
improved 1 to 4 points, but business was
much congested in the four most active
stocks.
Bonds were firm.
The determined manipulation of Union Pa
cific proved unavailing to check the selling,
and when that stock gave way, prices broke
violently all around. The reaction in the
leading active stocks ran from 2 to 4 points.
Consolidated Gas lost 4% and Northwest 5.
Declines generally ran from 1 to 2 points
all through the list, and the market showed
the greatest activity of the day. After fall
ing back to 103%, Union Pacific was once
more aggressively lifted to 107%, and cover
ing by room shorts caused some feverish ral
lies elsewhere, but there were renewed breaks
at other points and the closing was very
feverish and erratic.

SPECULATIVE GOSSIP
Logan, Chicago, to Jolley: Liverpool's de- ]
cline is not equal to the decline here yester
day. The German crop situation will con- |
tinue a feature of interest for the immediate |
future, but a very serious shortage there
would be necessary to make any material
difference with the world's prices for wheat.
Crop conditions in this country are fine and
are generally so everywhere. The demand is
hardly as good as ot late, and there is May
liquidation ahead. With these considerations
we see nothing urgently bullish in the situa
tion. Corn is still subject to local manipula
tion movement, and stocks are light. We
think the big end of the May shorts, however,
have covered. _
Kansas City receipts: Wheat, 38 cars,
against 28 last year; corn 26 cars, against 19
last year; oats, 18 cars, against 9 last year.
St Louis receipts: W'neat, 12,000 bu,
against 12,000 bu last year; corn, 21,000 bu,
against 29,000 last year; oats, 38,000, against
32,000 last year**
Chicago to Watson: Seaboard reports the
continent a good buyer of wheat futures.
They have also bought here. Our market
very firm and good cash demand for ship-
Total clearances equal 226,000 bu wheat and
flour; corn, 161,000 bu; oats, 116,000.
Broomhall cables: "The stock of wheat in
the United Kingdom is not at all plentiful,
which is causing more or less nervousness."
Broomhall cabled: 'Affected by the Ameri
can declines yesterday and by the brilliant
weather in this country quotations at the
opening were *& to «sd lower. The tone was
steady, however, and in sympathy with the
very firm German markets and with very
light pit offerings part of this decline was re
cove,red, prices at 1:30 being 'Ad to %d below
last night's close. Corn opened at 3,& d de
cline in sympathy with the lower wheat mar
ket. Later In the morning a sharp advance
of *£d took place, due to the scarcity of
spot corn and shorts covering."
Mcßeynolfls to .lohnson: Over half million
cash wheat sold here to-day, mostly to con
tinent, foreigners buying options in this mar
ket
Bradatreet's figures on the available supply
are: East of Rockies, decrease, 3,732,000 bu;
Europe and afloat, increase, 100,000 bu; total
decrease, 3,632,000 bu. Corn, decrease 294,000
tou. Oats, decrease 580,000 bu.
Verhoeff, from Milniine: Wheat strong on
good demand for May and some further talk
of insect damage in southwest. Some good
buying of July.
European visible wheat increased 100,000 bu
for the week, against an Increase of 800,000
bu last we«k and an increase of 700,000 a year !

CATTLE—Receipts of cattle here were mod
erate. Eastern receipts were liberal and
prices steady. The demand here for both beef
steers and butcher cows and heifers was very
keen. Prices ruled firm. Some fairly choice
beef steers sold at $5.
The stock and feeding cattle trade was not
very brisk, although anything that had qual
ity found ready buyers at full steady prices.

INVESTMENT GOSSIP
Waldorf Gossip to Watson: There was a
theory In trading circles this evening that
strong interests in the market have begun
to buy leading railroad stocks on a s;ale.
Many pyramids and overbought accounts have
been liquidated and the ' short interest is
rapidly attaining large proportions. A close
observer of the loan market says the borrow
ing demand for stocks is more urgent than
at any time for weeks. This is true both of
the railway list and the steel stocks. Rep
resentative houses say that the speculative
situation has been materially improved by
tne liquidation that has taken place sin.;e
jesierday, and, while they look for a weak
opeisirg, they generally believe the upward
movement will soon be resumed. Favorite
stocks with these houses are United otatds
St«A'l common and preferred, Southern Pa
cific, Southern Railway, the Reading issues
and Union Pacific.
New York to Andrews: "Trading will be
more in tvidence since the- epeculation now
has two distinct sides. Rallies should be
takep advantage of to reduce lines of rail
way stocks. Buy Tractions on any further
dip. Specialties will be tbe order of the day.
Take on some United States Steel preferred.
There is most excellent buying of this stocK.
All the Steels, with the Tennessee Coal &
Iron and Colorado Fuel & Iron will do better.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy deal is
an accomplished fact. The Harriman crowd
is preparing to boost Chicago Terminal. Hold
Evansville & Terre Haute,"
St. Paul gross earnings for the third week
of April increased, $21,000.
New York, to Lewis: "They say the buy
ing of Wisconsin Central common is for
large railroad interests."
Chicago to I. G. Andrews & Co.: Xew York
market strong, with May wheat up a full
cent. There is some talk of a May shortage
there and possibly the demand for cash there
may be hinged upon the future needs down
there.

N. DAKOTA CROP SITUATION
The First Crop Bulletin of the
Seaaon.
The first number of the North Dakota
Climate and Crop Service Bulletin was issued
Monday by Section Director B. H. Bronson at
Bismarck. The Bulletin summarizes the crop
situation in that state as follows:
The past week, as well as the first part of
the month, has been generally unfavorable
for farm work, especially in the eastern and
northern portions of the state. Previous to
the past week some small amount of wheat
had been sown in especially favorable loca
tions, and preparations for seeding were
becoming general, when a series of rain
storms, followed by snow, set In, closely
followed by heavy frosts, which froze the
surface of the ground, so that next to no
work could be done in the forenoon In most
localities, and in some places, none In tho
afternoon.
In the southern part of the state some
wheat that was sown the latter part of March
has come up, but has been frozen down. In
the eastern counties the soil is very wet,
and considerable sunshine is needed to dry It
out and warm it so that seed will germi
nate.
