RECOVERY FOLLOWS
WEAKENING PRICES
Small Primary Receipts and Decreasing* Supplies
the Chief Influences?Corn Moves Mainly
in Sympathy.
Neu- York April 0.?There was n
further temporary decline in domestic
wheat markets .it the beginning of the
week, but the weakness whs of short
duration, as almost immediately a
radical change occurred- in the tciripei
of the market, depression being iol
lowed by buoyancy. The initial heavi?
ness was without particular slgnlti
car.ee. being almost wholly attrib?
utable to the preponderance of bear?
ish sentiment. Apparently nearly every
scalper and small room trader had
become intensely bearish; The more
prices declined the mot e numerous and
confident the bears become, and the
same applies in equal degree to the .
bull element when the reverse take?
place Needless to say. these opportun*
ties are generally taken advantage of
by the big operators who 'are siiftt
clehtiy unbiased and broad-minded to
et., matters in the right light;
Shifting View?.
It is a reasonable presumption that
the men who were selling short freely
during the past week or two tvere
probably buying just as freely a few
weeks ago, before the big decline oc?
curred Selling or. Monday was prompt?
ed largely by the more favorable i
weather in both spring and whiter!
wheat territory, fairly widespread]
snow or rainfall having taken place j
In the ? biet wheat-growing States. |
Fortunately; the precipitation was pur
Ocularly heavy in the Southwest,
which was gratifying, as moist tire
was badly heeded there. Selling was
tiso partly accelerated by the favor?
able Missouri State report, which made
the condition '.'1 against 07 last April,
*nd 7 ?3 last July, when the crop was
22,000,000 bushels. The subsequent
strength, and especially in the May
deliveries, were mainly ascribed to
?-horts covering, prompted partly by
unexpected firmer cable advices, Euro?
pean markets being Influenced In part
by the unexpected decrease in the
European visible Eiipply, smaller offer?
ings at firmer figures for forward
shipment from Argentina and Aus?
tralia, and the improvement In the
cash demand, both In United Kingdom
and Continental markets. This latter
was chiefly brought about by un?
seasonable weather in Great Britain
and on the Continent.
Light Primary Receipts.
Buying in our markets was also
quickened by continued light primary
receipts; notably li. the Northwest, and
particularly at Dtiluth, where they
have been running 5>o to po per cent
los? than a year ago. which suggest.d
to many tracers thai reserves |n that
quarter were down to n low level
Cover n? was also stimulated by the
fairly big decrease in the worlds
available supply, 1,171,000 hushels.
whereas there was an Increase a year
ago of 1.202.0(>0 bushels.
Another gratifying and encouraging
feat uro was the purchase of fifteen
I loads of No. 2 ted fo? shipment to
I Antwerp, suggesting ?hat we wcro
! about down lo an export parity on j
soft varieties.
There was much unsettlcment late in
the week. Temporarily, there was a ;
further slight decline in the remoto
or new crop contracts, but the May
deliveries were comparatively strung;, :
especially during tin- late trading, part
of the early loss being recovered, an'. ;
a- a result, the May was at a premium
over July, instead of a discount us ob
tallied early in"the week. This created;
no surprise, as it was clear that such
tin outcome was fully warranted. For j
one thing, there had been entirely too i
much unanimity on the boar side, as ;
far as May was concerned. It WOfl j
agreed that only a comparatively i
small inceht've was needed to cause,
nervousness among short sellers. .Such
Incentives wore soon forthcoming.
Buying was stimulated in part by j
the continued meagre primary recetpts.
and especially in the Northwest, while
an Improvement was noted In the de?
mand for spring wheat tlour, In part
for export, a somewhat unusual feature
recently, the bulk of the export pur- I
chases borotoforo being of winter. In
addition, there Was further buying of
.No. j red for export. It was alleged
also that shorts had been made tier- I
vous by the possibility of political I
complications between France and
Spain. While this was not taken se?
riously by the majority of traders. It j
was, nevertheless, realized that when i
the market is oversold the so-called |
impulse may pot necessarily bo well- i
founded. Tito comparative heaviness !
in the remote deliveries was largely j
attributed to favorable weather in
winter wheat territory, and satisfac?
tory crop reports. According to the
Modern Miller, conditions in nearly
all the chief winter wheat States are
better than a year ago. In Ohio, there
is a gain of 7 per cent., in Indiana, 6
per cent., in Illino's 4 In Missouri 21,
and In Kansas and Nebraska 10 per
cent. each. This was offset partly by
a loss of L'l per cent. In Oklahoma, and '
1 In Texas The comparatively high
condition. S3, in Kansas, was exceed?
ingly gratifying, as the many reports
of damage by drought in the South
i western part of the State created ap
; prehension.
Irregular Movement In Corn.
Inactivity and narrowness were fea?
tures in corn markets. Early in the
week there was a small decline, large?
ly in sympathy with wheat. After?
wards, there was more firmness, which
was partly traceable to strong ca.?h
, markets and a falling off in the mbve
j meat from the West, consequent upon
! light deliveries by farmers at country
stations. Export trade has been llfc
? less, as prices are held above shippers'
I limits.
? port S?le?.
PENDING DECISIONS
DOMINATING MARKET
Now York. April ?.? Day 'o day in?
cidents governed prices of stocks last1
week. Much of the so-called news I
was purely conjectural and had to
do with dividend declarations, read?
justed relations and financing. Tris
quick passing of these Inlluencea
und the lapse into neglect of tho spe?
cial stocks affected showed the
strained nature of the market move?
ments. The outcome of the standard
Oil and American Tobacco cases is still
ihe dominant market factor, and it is
not altogether certain that decisions
will unlock speculation.
Considerable attention Is given, nev?
ertheless, to governmental and politi?
cal affairs in their bearing on finance.
Nervous fluctuations in the market last
Monday, while the Chi ted states su?
preme Court was in session, evinced
the importance attached tu these de?
cisions. The profound dullness which
followed pointed to a similar conclu?
sion. The1*-shapijjg of the legislative
program";' espeeially as it hears on
tariff revision, was watched with some
solicitude.
Some of the week's movements, nota?
bly the strength of the Northwestern'!
gro'ip of railway stocks, were directly
traceable to the promise of Canadian
reciprocity.
Railroad returns were scanned with
particular interest in the degree in
which the problem of economies to
offset diminished traffic was being mot.
Companies whoso reports showed sun
cess in this direction derived benetti
in the relative strength of their shares.
The subject gained In importance from
the evidence of further shrinkage in i
the freight movement in the latter re?
turns. Conclusions regarding th ? ex?
hibit were modified by the belief that
measures of economy were not yet
fully in force in February operations.
Reduction of railroad traffic ts ac?
cepted as a belated manifestation of
the same forces of reaction and ecu?
traction in general trade that wert
operative in stocks and bonds through
most of last year The decline In the
commodity markets is taken as evi?
dence that liquidation has been going
further there also.
The March increase in pig iron pro?
duction, the reduction in furnace stocks
, and the growth in daily capacity of
j furnaces hi blast on April 1 over March
1 gave a hopeful augury for that
trade. T.he settling tendency lit -<-n
eral is regarded as an assurance tor
later stability and progress.

CONTRACTS ACTIVE;
-
Market Stronger and Shows More Life Than in|
Month Past?Renewed Buying by Old
Bull Interests.
New York, April S.?Trading in cot?
ton contracts was more active and the
market stronger than at any time for
a month. A hotter class of buying be?
gan to develop Saturday. It broaden?
ed with the resumption of business on
Monday, and continued to Increase in
proportion almost daily throughout the
week. This has been tlie result of
renewed buying by the o.ld bull inter?
ests on a sufficiently large scale to
Induce a fresh following among local
operators and commission houses that
were still inclined to follow the bull
side of the market on the statistics
and the necessity of the South raising
a big crop tlie coining season to make
tip for the last two comparatively short
crops.
Market Influence* and Price Changes.
Moreover, the Liverpool markets for
both spots and futures have been show?
ing constant strength, with private re?
ports of a much more encouraging
character with regard to the trade
situation and outlook at Manchester
and in the Lancashire district. These
influences, with the much lighter
movement of the last of the crop from
plantations, have offset the bearish
effects of the continued poor trade
conditions in the milling centres In
this country, and pessimistic reports
which have been coming from spinners
and the local dry goods districts.
Where general sentiment throughout
the cotton trade was very much de?
pressed last week, these events have
caused many shorts to cover lately,
'('hey induced a good many others to
take the long side of the market In
anticipation of 15-cont cotton again
being reached for the May und July
options. As a consequence what looked
at one time last week as though a
readjustment between the high cost of
cotton and values for staplo cotton
cloths and yards was at hand, It now
appears that this process must neces?
sarily be delayed until later In the
season.
On the week, however, the general
cotton option list In this market shows
an advance from last Saturday's clos?
ing prices up to the close of the mar
tke yesterday of thirty points for the
One Refused, and West Side of
Ninth Street Will Be Free

[Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.]
Lynch burg. Va., April 9.?Judge
Christian, in the Corporation Court, '

Weather and Crop Condition*.
Weather has been unsettled through?
out the cotton belt the past trn days.
There has been too much rain in some
localities, especially in Southwestern
Texas and the Memphis district and In
Southern Alabama. While it is too
early to talk abc it such conditions
checking the favorable start of the
new crop, this feature should be
watched, as too much rain and cold
weather during April has in former
years upset calculations by causing
replanting and delaying operations
along the northern portion of the belt.
Such would be the case In the event
of the past week's rains continuing
for any length of time. There has
been ample surface and sub-soli moist?
ure, all through the Mississippi Valley
and most parts of Texas for present
needs. On the other hand, there has
been a deficiency in such conditions in
most sections of Georgia and tho Caro?
linas and Northern Alabama for two
I months. In portions of the Mississippi
Valley States and the southern half of
Texas a week or two of dry and warm
weather, with only light occasional
showers, is what Is needed. In some
sections of Tennessee this week there
has been extreme precipitation of 3
to 5 inches, with cloud-bursts In South?
ern Alabama, and unusually heavy rain
and hail storms In parts of Southwest
Texas.
The Novr Crop Situation.
A fair estimate on the amount of
cotton planted so far would be about
40 per cent. It may be 50 per cent, as
there has been every Inducement for
farmers to push their work of clear?
ing the fields and planting much earlier
this season than last. The first gov?
ernment crop report on the estimated
acreage and condition of the plants
is not due until June 3. In tho mean?
time, there will bo nothing but pri?
vate estimates on the acreage. No one
attempts to estimate the condition of
the plants until about the 1st of June,
as all the crop Is not planted in tho
Northern section of the bcli until
about the first or second week in May.
There have been seasons in which
planting has been rushed to completion
in Northern Texas and tlie Mississippi
Valley States as early as the middle of
April. But second and third plantings
in such cases have been made neces?
sary by torrential rains and cold wea?
ther, either washing out tlie fields or
preventing proper germination of the
seed. Consequently, while, there is
now every Indication of the crop get?
ting the best and earliest start In
1 years, with a record-breaking acreage,
nothing definite can be said on this
point for another month to come.
Therefore, the weather conditions dur
; ing the next, two or three weeks wilt
i continue a big factor on general mar
! ket and trade sentiment, affecting the
future course of prices, especially With
, regard to all options beyond the July
! deliveries.
