EACH DAY'S MARKET
LISTLESS AFFAIR.
A
Sentiment Still Easily Affected
by News of Future Require
ments on Money Resources.
New York. April 28-The listless drifting
to which the stock market Is becoming
accustomed was again notably In evidence
to-day. The boardroom was practically
idle during the latter part of the day and
brokers were driven to while the time
away with auch pranks as brokers are
prone to. With money to be had on al
most nominal terms, there Is no pressure
on anybody to sell stocks to realize cash,
and no one not forced to do so would at
tempt to market holdings in such a nar
row and apathetic market as that exist
ing. On the other hand, there seems to bo
nothing In the current conditions or the
prospect that can Induce the buying of
stocks. In splto of the abundant facili
ties to be had In the way of borrowed
money, the consequence is the deadlock
and the lethargy of investing capital
which the market Is waiting.
EXPORTS TO CONTINUE.
Indications are plain that the outgo of
gold will continue on a heavy scale, as
supplies here are redundant and Paris is
calling homo her capital from all avail
able quarters. The sterling rate at Paris
sank to 25 francs 10 centimes to-day, thus
widening the margin of pront on gold
shipments from New York, In spite of an
easier tendency of sterling here.
The payment of the MO.000,000 to the
Panama Government was also announced
from ashington, but no effect was pro
duced in the local money market, and
practically all apprehension has passed
that the conclusion of the Panama Canal
payments will cause any disturbance to
the money market. Yet the market Is
obviously sensitive to the offering of any
iresh claims on capital resources, such as
the Intended Issue -by the Norfolk and
estern of S&i.Ooo.oOO of bonds, reported
to-day. This announcement cost the
stock a point In price, although It was
stated that the present sale of the bonds
Is not contemplated.
PROSPECTIVE NEEDS.
Projected capital issues an Vnntn n
be large. Including the funding of much
or. me temporary note Issues now out
standing for railroad companies. It is
n r "-- ---. j m3 i-i ujciea issues
win nave claims on earnings ahead of
those now outstanding, and this Is one of
the influences repressing any demand for
present issues. The sympathetic effect of
declines was to check the hardening ten
dency elsewhere, due principally to early
sympathy with a revival of activity and
strength In the London stock market.
Amalgamated Copper, which sold er-div-Idend,
was lifted nearly a point, and Ana
conda Jumped 6 points. The weather news
was favorable to crop prospects, but was
of little effect on stocks. There was some
further pressure on United States Steel
preferred, but the stock recovered to a
shade above last night. The market
closed stagnant.
Bonds were neglected and about steady
Total sales, par value, $2,073,000. United
States bonds were unchanged on call.

NATIVE CATTLE-Beef Bteert-TSers was
but a light supply of cattle received Thursday,
and the larger portion were of natives. The
estimate for this division called for about
cars, which was a shade Uthter than the corre
sponding day last week, which places the four
day total at 6.S00 head, against 8.300 last week.
The five-point total was around 24.0X1, against
out is.vjo the same day a week ago. and for
the week thus far receipts are but 3.000 lighter
than the week before. While there was a slow
tendency prevailing and not a very brisk de
mand, the suddIv was lirht month in ,iMf. a
fu.l steady basis, and on such terms all early
supplies were sold, while some of ths common
and medium steers displayed strength.
There were no good to choice steers, a few
r"itv. fd lots of 1.200-lb. weights sold at

SOUTHERN CATTLEThe quarantine sup
ply was of very light proportions, with but 11
cars on sale that embraced 246 head, while
this day last week receipts were only 10 ears

thing was soon sold on a full steady basts. A

mon to fair bulls sold at S2.75g3.2S, with a
few good grade, at S3. 40. Ths balance of the
supply consisted of a common mixed lot of
stuff.
There is not a great deal to comment upon
for this side of the market for the week, as
there has been a moderate number of offer
ings. Receipts during the entire week were but
--. .
l.C head, against 2.434 last week, and 5.319
the cortesponillns week of 1303. The only thing
tliat can be claimed Is its high range of values

period, this end of the market has been in
a nourishing condition, and while a lower
level during the middle of the week resulted
elsewhere, prices here were held en a steady

Trierc was no material change to the trade, all
ralr to good mutton stock meeting with a ready
demand and sold quickly at steady to strong
prices, but thin and Inf-rirr stuff sold rather
slow and barely steady. Spring lambs that were

of any grade and were almost unsalable at any
?.IPRE.S-E'':-'S1 r-lns m the country,
with their concomitant of bad reads, swollen
streams and fears of delay In transportation
on account of Hoods, coupled with the inten
,,..n.i r m--ny .uu' to hold back shipments
until next week, the week of the special sale,
all had their influences toward conflnirg horse
receipts to a very small aggregate this week.
The week began with decreased supplies, and
each auction day had the eame sUry to tell,
the runs not being more than one-half the or-
uiuuij n-veipis ior mis period.
In consequence of this lighter supply the
market was quieter throughout the week buy
ers had fewer to select from and were not as
disposed to purchase actively as had there been
a more representative supply available. It
was also fcr the same reason nit a.s strong
a last week, for the decreased Interest in the
market likewise carried with it decreased com
petition for offerings, and as a general rule,
although there was no stated decline, the un
dertone was not as good a the preceding week.
This, however, was particularly the case on
the common and medium offering, for there
were ftlll plenty of buyers on hand who
wanted the choice, heavy chunks and drafters
and nice harness horses 10 pretty well subserve
a steady tcne on such desirable classes. The
supply, nevertheless, was composed largely of
plain and ordinary offerings, and as such they
showed the easiness of the market. Trade has
had fome strong periods in It when the move
ment and values rose to the basis of last week
but as a general proposition the shortness of
receipts and tre accompanying restrictions of
actlv tty were shown In the easier undertone al
ready quoted.

MULLS The supply has been small through
out the week, the total arrivals amounting u
not more than 4 or 5 loads. Thee have not
made up a supply sufficient to keen the roar
get busy for a day. and hence the trade has
been quiet during the greater part cf the week,
with little opportunity afforded to show the
true condition of the market. However, the
supply which did arrive was sold readily. Inas
much as It comprl-ed a uniformly good lot of
mules, and sellers said tho demand was gnua
for even a larger supply of good, big mules.
The trade from the East and other districts
for weighty mules of good quality has been
sufficient to more than offset the new arrivals,
although It has not been large by any means.
The market has displayed a good tone on all
good to Choice mules, with size anil welvltt
but. a. has been the case for several weeks, the
plain, thin, small and medium mules have
not been wanted, and nre net a Rood article on

New York. April 28 Live Poultry-Receipts
were confined to 1 car Western and 1 South
western, which winds up the supply for the
week. Weather was rainy and unfavorable,
and with fully 15 carloads of fowl, unsold on
Jobbers' hands the market was very slow, with
no possibility of a clearance this week. Fresh
receipts left first hands at unchanged prices,
but outlook for the Immediate future depends
entirely upon the volume of receipts: quota
tions unchanged. ' M
, Dressed roultry Receipts 1,734 pkgs. There
was no change of note in the market for fresh
killed fowls. Receipts were not heavy from
northerly sections, and the market was pretty
well sustained at 134c on Indiana and Illinois
while those marks that came closely graded
brought the usual premium, but heavy fowls
were very difficult to place at over 13c. South
western fowls were plenty enough and worked
out slowly at lS4c for the best, but many ot
those arriving were very Irregular and had to
'TO at 13C. The bulk of the TeAtn. a... In

that the market will clean up at about present
prices. Squabs not In heavy supply, but de

SUMMARY 0F8T. LOUIS MARKETS

tors which caused a ble advance in grain futures in yesterday's market. Though there
were indications that the more prominent bulls were trying to break the market for
the purpose of adding to their lines on the downturn, the outside buying demand was
so good that this sort of manipulative tactics was without rcrult. foreigners were not
Inclined to follow the lead of domestic t.-aders und cables were only fairly stead). As
an offset It was estimated that the world's shipments for the week would be below
tho recent average. Argentine weather was said to be unfavorable. Domestic weath
er, so far as overhead conditions went, was ideal, but the rrivate wires were laden
with stories of flooded fields in the Mississippi and Ohio valleys, and the threat of
high-w-i-ter damage was so close to home that it could not be ignored. The crippling
of the railroad service because of the overflow on both sid;s of the river was an im
portant figure in the advance, as it operati d to check the movement to market and to
cut down the immediately available supply. E.irly weakness was quickly offset by
the outside buying Interest, which was larger than It had tcf 11 for several weeks.
Corn was strong in line with wheat. While weather conditions were generally
favorable, tho backwardness of the season and the scarcity of contract grades at all
reciiving points were bullish influences.

GRAIN VALUES ADVANCE
ON OUTSIDE SPECULATION.
MAY WHEAT IS THE STRONG
SPOT.
Flood Seme and General Crop
Conditions Appeal to Non
professional Traders.
After a short season of selling: by
manipulators the outside trading element
took charge of the local grain market and
forced an advance for both wheat and
corn futures. May wheat wa3 the strong
spot. Koreisn markets were barely
steady, but domestic conditions seemed
favorable for an upward movement. Flood
conditions were an Important factor In
the local advance. Receipts at all points
were lhrht and there was a continued
scarcity of contract Roods.
