NEW YORK, April 28.— Effective support today checked the demoralized tone which threatened the market and quieted the speculative excitement with the result of a subsidence of ac tivity and a steady tone until sudden extreme -weakness again set in In the last fifteen minutes. During the progress of recovery the average of prices was lifted above last night and some considerable gains were established, especially in the northwestern railroad group and the trunk lines. After yesterday's downward plunge there was a fear that the further prices declined the more pressure there would be to sell stocks. This appre hension was sufficiently justified by the heavy liquidation which was caused' by the uneasiness throughout the country, resulting from the heavy declines o£ yesterday. With ■ margins materially impaired and the fear of still larger losses to be faced, the ur gent desire to sell Is easily understood. Support was attempted at the opening and the more cheerful tone of foreign markets today aided the effort. Prices of American stocks in Lon don were lifted considerably above last night and there was liberal buying In New York' for foreign account, after the trading began, but these gains quickly disappeared under the flood of liquidation which came into the market from all quarters. It was only by the most vigorous measures of support that the market was saved from demoralization again during the first hour. Enormous amounts of stocks passed through the market In that period in the course of the contest between opposing forces. The trading in the first hour, in fact, made up the bulk of the transactions for the whole day. The chief fear of speculative holders evidently was the instability of the market, rather than any actual developments affecting val ues, and when the support had demon strated its effectiveness, sufficient as surance was imparted to dissipate the urgent desire to sell. There was evi dently a large short interest left open also. The failure of confirmation of some Of the alarmist rumors which circu lated yesterday impressed the sellers of stocks with the idea that there had not been good grounds for their ac tion and Increased the disposition to buy. While the resignation of the head of the Missouri Pacific system from the Union Pacific board was dis cussed with seriousness, the effect on the market was lessened by the relative firmness of Missouri Pacific and the good support of Union Pacific. The forecast of the currency movement for the week gave promise of a consider able increase in the cash holdings of the banks to be shown In tomorrow's bank statement. The market continued to show a nervous and uncertain un dertone In spite of the marked falling oft In transactions and there seemed to be a disinclination on the part of the buyers to follow the advance In prices. The persistent strength of the for eign exchange market, supposed to be due to preparation for remittances of Japanese loan subscriptions, Is not liked. . " Discounts were firm In London to day and the price of sterling at Paris declined. ■ Next week is payable one-half of the subscriptions to the $100,000,000 of Pennsylvania convertible bonds, with the privilege to subscribers to pay In the full amount. The nervousness of the market was easily seen from the quick response to the late break in .Jtoulsville & Nashville to 144%. Loco motive and General Electric also made disconcerting plunges. In a very few minutes most of the gains melted away and the closing was very weak again. Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value, 12,790,000. ■ United States bonds were all un changed on call.

LOS ANGELES HERALD i SATURDAY MORNINO, APRIL' as, 190$. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET Renewed Confidence In Steadiness of Wheat— Corn and Oats Firm By Aaaoclated Press. CHICAGO, April 28.—Notwithstand ing a continuation of excellent weather condition*:, a degree of confidence on the buying aide of the wheat market that had been felt for some time past wai In evidence. A part of tha bullish sentiment was fttfrlhuted to the seeming Indifference of holders of May, the volume ot trad ing In that option being very light throughout the session. Another factor was the strength nt Minneapolis, reuniting from a good cash demand. Higher prices nt I^lver pool formed a clincher In decisively es tablishing the dominion of bullish .sentiment. On the other hand weather conditions were decidedly unfavorable to a bull ish campaign. Reports by a St. Louis trade paper, furnished encouragement to the beam, the claim being made that the yield of winter wheat this year will be unusually large. The market was firm from the start. Initial quotations on May were up % @lc, at 88*i$r89c. July wrh a shnde lower to %c higher, at 82M/83C to 83V6c. A little profit taking In May soon car ried the price of May down to 88% c, but a quick recovery soon followed. After touching 82 a i@82%c, July grad ually advanced and for the remainder of the day held within 83c and 83M>c One of the leading bulls was credited with moderate purchases of the July option. The market closed firm, with July at 83%@83V<ic. Kinul quotations on May were at 88% c. Corn was firm. July opened a shade lower at 46% c, sold between 46H'?? 46%e and closed at 46V&@46%c. The oats market was Influenced by the firm tone of corn. July opened unchanged to %c lower at 28%<a28%c, sold up to 29c and closed at 28%(?J 1 29 c.

All const In In jtood de mand at 37V6<R'4O rents n roll and la reported well rloaed out. Receipts of valley have been large all week and storing of this was enforced. Local dealers say the butter bonrd Is trying to hold the market at 45 cents, their own price, but that the retail trade will not take It. Another factor Is that butter from the kite track coun try nnd other interior sections is pom- Ing In and this adds to the Rlut in stocks. All non-botird dealers and creameries do not pretend to meet the butter board price of 4a cents, as the stocks on hand do not permit. Some reports go further and declare that the board people themselves are making concessions to move the stocks. Stor ing has been heavy and this at prices that are not attractive, owlns to the enormous shrinkage thnt occurs. Cheese iH up 1 cent a pound all around for local makes. Eastern is re ported scarce and northern In ample supply. Demand steady. EGGS UNCHANGED— An improve ment is noted In the ess situation, which caused the egg quotation com mittee of the produce exchange yes terday to fix the sellins price of Cali fornia ranch eggs at 20 cents and northern at IS cents. Demand is bet ter and more shipping inquiry Is noted. It Is said that the northern egg has passed the zenith of its qual ity and that dealers lincl the egg now hardly up to the standard. From in dications, a number of dealers say, the possibility of an advance exists and that in next week a firmer market may obtain. GOOSKBEimiKS TO COME—Ad vices say that new crop gooseberries will come on the market Monday. This will be the English variety and at they are .lobbing In the north at 20 cents a pound, the same price Is ex pected here. "','■- Yesterday four carloads of bananas arrived.

Blackberries came freely and are firm at lfic a bas ket and raspberries are limited at 30 <S>3sc a basket. OLD SPUDS SCARCE— Bringing old crop potatoes to Los Angeles from Wisconsin Indicates their scarcity on the coast. Three carloads of these are reported on the way. These will be Burbanks and may reach $1.75 a hun dred. Aa it Is, Colorado is supplying the greatest quantity of potatoes In this market. ' New potatoes are beginning to cut a figure, as they are more matured and larger. Demand for these also is good and they Job at 2?i<H>3e a pound. The few remaining Hemets have reached $2.50 a hundred. Onions are still scarce for old stock, the new crop of silverskins arriving not filling: the conditions. These, however, are maturing fast, and with in ten days will be In large supply.
