According to the private advices Of Mitchell,

pects ofwthe country are. rapidly deteriorating,
and some sections are: sending In.- sensational
reports. Tho States \ from „ which the , severest
complaints come are Indiana, Illinois, Michi
gan and Ohio, the reports from the latter State
being especially bad. - ; Reports from . North
Dakota aro ' also discouraging. Seeding there
Is very backward, not ¦ only , in the Red River
Valley, but alonz the Soo, and it Is said that
the farmers cannot get on to their fleldf, which
have 1 a foot of mud . under ' the snow.- before
May 1,' and -a large acreage win go Into Bar
ley. Flax and Oats. The; Wheat acreage, will
consequently be reduced from 30 to 40 per cent

Harrison's. circular says: "Since the steam
ship Sonoma left this port there has been no
cargo cf Australian Coal delivered here." This
Is very exceptional, now nearly one month since
the last ship f rosn ; Newcastle arrived. There
are four. vessels now en route to this port which
are fully due; several new names have been
added this week- to > the chartered list' of 'coal
carriers, which now figures up In all thirty-one
vessels, with a carrying capacity of about 80.000
tons. ' Some ¦ of these vessels . will not load
before July or ? August next. The Australian
Coal now her* In y»rd amounts to very little
and is almost entirely held by . one wholesale
dealer, hence price* are well , sustained. As
spring weather has put In an appearance,- the
sales of household coals will materially dimin
ish. 1 " Freight rates, on Coal from Newcastle are
reported - much * firmer, • caused , presumably by
the freight rates on grain to Europe from colo
nial ports. There is but -little demand here
for all grades of. foreign fuel,, which are only
suitable. for steam" purposes, as the prices de
manded here : for British Columbia and Wash
ington : steam ¦ Coals \ makes If impossible ¦ for
outside Coals to compete. An accurate report
of the California output, of crude oil for 1903
has Just been Issued, showing 23,000.000 barrels
have been sent to the surface. . This in round
figures signifies - the displacement of fully

The Potato market Is controlled by a few
firms who own the bulk of the available sup
plies, and as there is very little competition
between dealers prices , are easily maintained
and the ' :nr.rket cleans up well from day to
day. Small sales : of river Burbanks were re
ported yesterday- at $1 55 per cental. Yellow
Onions were quoted steady at unchanged rates,
while green were In better demand and higher.
Receipts of Asparagus continued too heavy
for the regular i trade to absorb, being over
1800 boxes, but the market was held steady by
canners, who were purchasing freely, paying
3@3%o for No.. 2 and 4c for No. 1. Old and
poor lots were still selllnj below the quota

and trashy . lots were offering at ; 85c@$l per

Quicksilver Trade.
A standard New York authority thus Ftates
the current conditions In trade: "A« a result
of i^cent stock market advances a much better
Idling exists in financial circles, notwith
.-•ai; !i:.c many unsatisfactory features. It Is
<juit*; evident that the country i* going through
a reriod of business reaction, which began in
th> East and it tlowly traveling westward.
Its grtaUft severity seems to have been felt
• in this side of the Mississippi, and there are
«!rcady .-.-¦:.- of recovery which are more or
l'-ss encouraging. 'At^the West depression has
bwn much less severe, hut se^ms .destined to
run tit courst until it disappears on the Pa-
GiBc foast. Both railroad earnings and clear
ing house returnt. as well as business reports,
testify to this ivartion, and the great wonder
is that it has not been more severe, consider
ing the upheavals that have taken place In
'he financial and in the labor markets. The
latter arc fortunately abating, and the quick
r. sumption of revival tendencies Is satisfactory
j roof of the soundness of business affairs in
Mntral. The cost of living is very high and
e good many men are thrown out of employ
ment l>y labor troubles or other difficulties:
but the r«-aCJustment 1 rocess is fairly under
way, and Is likely to continue until the basis
of a new forward movement is laid. The

recover its former holdings of Northern Pa
cific. But the action of the stock yesterday
on that supposition caused a deeply grounded
impret*-lon that the recent mysterious accumu
lation of Union Pacific Is based on the hope of
¦ advantage to the stock from the ends sought
in the fult. The speculative basis thus im
plied for the recent movement in Union Pa
cific and the problematical outcome of the
factors in the speculation caused misgivings.
The uncertainty thus caused ard reflected in
the hesitating fluctuations in Union Pacific un
eettJed the whole market. To add to the hesi
tation reiiorts were circulated of the I forma
tion or a formidable i>arty for a bear cam
paign which had been selling Us holdings and
putting out fhert line* at the high level In
I preparation for an onslaught upon values. The
effect of th?*e rei>orts was to intimidate trad
er* from attempting to advance prices or from
buying stock?. The influence- of foreign mar
kets wan also on the Fide of reaction, and there
were ferrs that the Russian naval disaster
might result In further depression in the Paris
market. The cancellation of- an option of
C7.000 tor.s of plglron by the United States
Su-el »*orporation and the reason given, that It
vas fiared thai the purchase would Invite the
resumption of blast furnaces, was not of re
aK!<uring «-ffect on sentiment regarding the
ir<m and Eteel trade. Renewed strength In the
wheat market pointed to yesterday's weak
ness as due to profit taking on the Government
report, wtth the ultimate effect still to be
counted with. On the other hand reports
were current of a large export of steel prod
ucts for March, and the very cheerful view
of the trade outlook expressed by the Iron Age
and published near the close, had an important
Influence in rallying the market. The closing
was firm.

NEW YORK, April in.— The dull and un
certain stock rr.?.rket of to-day was the natural
outcome ot the course of the previous market.
The rather violent break In Union Pacific with
which the market closed yesterday was re
garded to-day as due to a raid. A more care
ful consideration of the part taken by the At
torney Oeneral in the Northern t>ruriUe* pro
cecding* at i=t. Paul modified the first impres
sion that the Government was opposing • Itself
en principle to the Union Pacific's effort to

priors seem destined for a higher level: stili.
tuyers must now exercise greater prudence, ar
the advance renders reactions more probable."
Henry Clews pa>s In his New York circular:
*"Th* unusual *-asp of the money market i*
portly Out to lessened business* requirements.
«»ur April usually a period of dis
turbance, were jiassrd without a flurry. An
othrr rvason for present «a«e is the great and
«ontinun1 expansion of our currency. Usually
f-uch conditions stimulate « xce^Five speculation;
hut public lomjwT ar.d the public pocketbook
¦ re in no condition for extremes of this sort.
Uoth Investors and yprculutors are in an fl
• ¦»tdinc!y conservative- frame of mind, and this
I* a eafefruard for the future. Gold exports
liave commenced, and ceem likely to continue
lor a r^riod. This is the reason for such
movement*, and. in view of our large surplus
rrffn'fti, they are not likely to cause any con
•¦••rn. Our exports have been Interrupted by
the recent tjx-culation in cotton and wheat:
t it s* these influences have been broken, and
as our imports are declining under dimlnishcil
trad* activity here, the chances are not in
favor of any extensive outflow under rrc>ent
condition*. London has shown more disposi
tion to invest in Americans lately, and this is
a favorable element. The international move
ments, however, will probably be largely in
fluenced by the war. Very soon Fome decisive
*np«gemtnts are likely to take place and hos
tilities will l>e more actively pushed. . Japan
b likely to soon place a loan, and will prob
ably raise fund* in this way more easily th-an
Russia, which ha* already drained France of
«;i Khc is willing- to part with. A decisive
.laparu-se victory would probably be promptly
followed by a Japanese loan, while the effect
u;.on Russian credit would be severe, especially
in Trance, where the loana to holders of Rup-
F:an l>ord> would not strengthen the Franco-
Ku^sian alliance. Should Rugsia score the n'i>'t
importcnt victory the results mljrht be exactly
the reverse of the above, but hardly In the
tafflf degree.

Bran and Middlings continue firm at the ad
vance noted yesterday and offerings are light.
Hay continues more or less easy, though - the
leading holders are not pressing' the market to
Bell. ¦.-« •¦..¦.¦.-¦.¦ • ' - . " .¦ ¦_-..•
The circular ¦ of Somers & Co. says:
"The surprisingly large quantity of 3300 tons
of Hay has arrived during the week ending
to-day, an increase of 500 tons over the week
preceding. It is several months since we have
had any such . arrivals , as this. It is an un
deniable fact that the country cannot stand a
continuance . of such heavy drains very long
and we are* of the decided opinion • that from
this time on shipments will be much lighter.
Some sample . shipments have been made from
•outside' districts, but the style of bale and
quality of Hay^gent has not been very satis
factory to this market, with the result that
shippers have been considerably disappointed
and are now seeking other markets for their
Hay. Both in the extreme northern. and the"
extreme southern parts of the State, as well
as very generally throughout .the San Joaquln
Valley, the three-wire bale Is used almost, ex- ]
cluslvely. - This does • not take well here, ' the
three-quarter bale with five bands selling best
on the San Francisco . market. -Quite a bit of
what Is being shipped trom the above-mention
ed outside districts is in this three-wire bale,
and at. least ?1 wr ton is lost as a result of
marketing the Hay in what is here considered
an undesirable package.
"In spite of the large amount of rain which
we had last month, conditions are now rapidly
changing owing to continuous hot weather. The
top of the ground. is becoming baked aftd we
must have more showers soon to Insure the
splendid crop which was promised a few weeks
ago. . ¦ •
"As to the immediate future of the market,
everything will depend on receipts. On Friday
next the Government will receive bids for about
*J5(X> tona of Hay, and It is expected that this
will have quite an effect on the market here, it
being generally believed that San Francisco
will receive the order."'

CHICAGO. April 13. — Pessimistic reports on
the condition of the winter crop caused- sharp
advances in wheat to-day. Compared with
yesterday's close, final figures to-day. showed a
net gain or l%c for the July delivery. Corn is
up %k. Oats are v %@%c higher. Provisions
closed 10<&15c up.- . : •• ¦
Extremely light receipts here and in the
Northwest caused a firm tone in wheat at the
opening, the July option being a shade to
Vi?«%c higher, at 85%<g85%c. There was -an
Active demand from the start, covering; by
shorts being a noticeable . feature during the
first hour of trading. • Numerous crop damage
reports from all sections of the country were
received. Indiana particularly, sending , in -a.
great many messages regarding- ruined wheat
fields. The Southwest also, continued to keep
the ' trade Informed of the poor prospects in
that quarter. As the session advanced, re
ports from the Northwest became equally bull
ish An urgent Investment demand developed. !
The long interests had apparently been quite
thoroughly cleaned up on recent declines.
Furthermore the domestic news was of such,
a bullish tenor that comparative^* little wheat
was for sale except on decided advances. Both
the Northwest and Southwest were good
buyers here, contributing materially to the
strength of the situation. All outside markets
wer» strong, and this also helped in the ad
vance A feature In trading was an increased
Interest In the September delivery, that option
leading all others in strength. After July had
touched 87%c. prices made some recession on
profit-taking, but the market held strong. July
closing at KP/4«i!>7ftc.. May sold between
92%c andi)4c and closed at 03%c.
Strength in wheat was the main influence In
the com irarkct. The close was near the high
point, with July at 00>ic and May at 5.1c. .
Oats were affected by the strength in wheat
and corn, Jirty closing at 37%c. •_ ¦
Provisions were strong, in sympathy with
grain.% and on lighter receipts of hogs, with
higher prices at the yards. July pork closed
