BRISK OPENING;
LISTLESS CLOSE
NEW YORK. April ;20.Prices
moved listlessly within a narrow
rang* on : the stock exchange to
day and the volume of. business
fell far below -that of * the two
preceding; days. During; the first
hour of the session • speculation
was broad and active, with an up
ward swing following moderate
declines at the opening. Trade
fell off thereafter and the market
was lifeless.
The affairs of the Gould rail
roads continued to hold the chief
place of Interest. Missouri Pacific
was feverish all day. moving back
and forth within a range of nearly
2 points. The uncertainty of the
situation was a drag on the stock,
which, after a slump late in the
day, rallied and closed unchanged.
The Harriman stocks also were
affected by the same influence.
Union Pacific, in particular, was
weak, closing with a loss of a
point. United States steel was
under pressure most of the day.
Reports of probable price cutting
of steel and iron products affected
the shares unfavorably, and there
was considerable short selling.
Even the Increased activity of
congress and the administrative
authorities at "Washington. In con
nection with the Mexican diffi
culty, failed to bring forward that
question as a disturbing factor in
the financial world.
Bonds were steady. Total sales
(par value), $2,098,000. *.v**::
United States bonds were un
changed on call.
NEW YORK. April 20.— E. F.
Hutton it Co.'a wire says: The
stock market was irregular today,
but the undertone was not weak,
despite the continued efforts of
traders to work prices down
again. There was no news of Im
portance and, while the profes
sional element is hoarlshly in
clined, important interests main
tain their passively bullish atti
tude toward the market, based on
the Improvement in | fundamental
conditions. It is probable that the
market will be rather dull until
the supreme court decisions are
announced, but there is believed
to be an overextended short Inter
est outstanding: which adds
strength to the technical condi
tion. "We look for higher prices
in the near future.

NEW YORK. April 20.— E. F. Hutton A Co.'s
wire says: '-Trading on the curb today ran
to very small totals. Prices tended toward
steadiness, but on the whole changes were
narrow. The report on Nipisslng for the year
ended December .11 shows nn Increase in gross
income of nearly $600,000. There was. however.
a deficit of $13,590 after dividends, which this
year amounted to 35 per cent, as against 25
per cent a year ago. The cost of production
was 14.72 cents. Ray Central and Holllnger
were moderately active, but there was little
doing elsewhere."

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Future Grain and Provisions .
CHICAGO. April 20.—Unpromising conditions
in Europe sent the wheat market soaring today.
There was a strong tone at the close, with a net
advance of 1%@1%C a bushel. Latest figures
showed a gain of %c to %c for corn and %c to
%c on oats. Provisions: finished unchanged to
10c above. ■
An official report on the winter wheat crop of
Prussia estimated the condition at 76 per cent, a
decline of 8 points, compared with a year ago.
Immediately the inference was drawn by traders
that the more extensive acreage adjoining. In
Russia might also turn out to have a much
smaller yield than 12 months back. - From Hun
gary, too, came disquieting statements concern
ing the outlook for the growing grain in that
country and telling of a squeeze in prices at
Budapest. Excitement at Liverpool, due in part
to scanty arrivals reported by Buenos Aires, had
a parallel in the pit here. The whirl upward be
gan at the outset of business and lasted through
out : the day. High and low levels for "day
proved to be 90% c and 89% c, with the closing
1%'q.l *>»c up at 90c. < .„....»?
Big shorts in corn took to the buying side In
earnest, one prominent house covering a line of
1.000.000 bushels. May ranged from 50% cto
60% c, . closing firm," %c net higher at the top
figures reached. Cash grades were strong. No.
2 yellow finished at 511g51%c,
Sympathy > with other grain lifted the oats
marker. The May option varied between 31 %c
and :;*:'..ic. . with last sales at 32@32%c, a net
gain of %<52%e. .-i&_mW&get&r..^.
- Provisions were irregular. When, the pit was
cleared pork had risen 7%c to 10e. lard 2%c to
5c and ribs were the same as last night to 6® I

market so far this week on account of th*
controversy , in the San Francisco market and

era claim prices are a little too high for stor-
Ing eggs. • since eastern markets are such . «
not to allow the prices in vogue last yeafW.*
this time. It: Is believed that before long tfbe
producer will obtain fair prices for eggs. Eggs
were today quoted at 22c for first grade in
Petaluma. The hatcheries expect to put in at
least two full months before abating their de
msnd for ece-s.
SANTA CRUZ, April 20.—Owing to the dis
turbed condition of the egg market in outside
centers the price of eggs continues to fluctuate
with the result that buyers are ' adhering to
prices that they deem fair.. Today the egg ex
change's best quotation was 19 cents , for flrst
grade produce, while Inferior eggs brought
from ■ 1 cent to 2 cents less a dozen. , The sup
ply continues strong. '
