CHICAGO. April 9.—Weakness :n
Wheat, due apparently to the expectation
of a bearish government report, influ
enced the other cereals today, but th«y
•were less than their leader. May wheat
closed ] 14(..l 4 (.. May corn %c. May oats %c,
and provisions 2%@10c lower.
In wheat the decline began a week ago
continued unchecked. Lower cables were
offset by light Northwest receipts and
the opening, therefore was without any
material change in prices. May started
at 71 %c to 71% c, compared with yester
day's close at 71% c Moderate buying
early, chiefly in the hope of a turn of
the tide, caused a rally to TlVic. No
support developed, however, and wheat
bought at the start came out again. Stop
loss orders were uncovered and the com
bined pressure forced May down to 69% c.
Excellent weather for the crop, and the
expectation of a bearish government re
port tomorrow were factors in weaken
irg the market. Scattered shorts took
profits under 70c, and a recovery to 7<>VsC
•was registered in consequence, but : the
close was weak, May l' /4 c depressed at
70c. Exporters reported 29 loads taken
lor export. Seaboard clearances in
■wheat and flour were equal to 578,000 bit,
while primary receipts were but 436,000
bu. compared with 557.000 bu. last year.
Local .receipts were ISS cars, one of con
tract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported a total of 171 cars, against 352
last week and SSS a year ago. Brad
-Btr«&'s. statement of the world's visible
showed a : decrease of 442,000 i>u. Trade
in corn was moderately active. „.,L Prices

1 avt- considerable strength, despite bear-!
ish -news :- a"nd the weakness • in- wheat,
eipta were liberal, £75 cars, 71 of
contract, grade, and the weather favora-.
bie.: - May opened %c to %c lower at 44% c
to 44c, and sold early to 14%a44M;C, en
couraged by higher cables. Long corn,
however, began to come out in gradually
increasing quantities. May was forced
back to 43c. . Profit-taking by shorts and
buying by the bull leader caused a sharp
rally to 44c, and the close was steady,
May %c lower at 43"/fe^"44c. Southwestern
farmers, owing to the retarded growth of
gross, were reported to be feeding corn
in '"heavy quantities.
Heavy selling of May and July onts
characterized the business in that cereal.
Excellent seeding weather was a weaken
ing influence, as was the course of wheat
prices,. Receipts were 322 curs. May
sold between 25%(g25%c and 2t%c, closing
%c lower at 24T^@25c. Considerable
changing tcok place in the pit, July rul

Provisions^ were, quiet and easier In
sympathy with a decline at the yards.
May perk sold between $14.45 and $14.30,
and closed 20c lower at 514.30; May lard
between $5.20@5.15, closing . 10c down at
55.15. and May ribs between $8.10 and
$5.02%, with, the close 2%c depressed at
?5.07%.
The estimated receipts for tomorrow
arc: Wheat, 40 cars; corn* 115 cars; oats,

to 5 points higher, and for a time showed
no intimation of special leaning. For

demand was slack, buying orders failed
to appear and professional interest was
dormant. In the early afternoon the
market steadied on light foreign buying
and some room support, but did not be

At London the close was £115 7s 6d for

abroad to £16 2s 6d, exhibited a firmer
undertone here on a good local inquiry,
and closed 2*4 points above the close of
yesterday to $3.92>£@3.97%. Lead remains
unchanged.
"WOOL—Boston, April 9.—The wool mar
ket hesv, though not so active as last
week, is very steady. Dealers are hope
ful and entertain the impression that the
depiession which has held the market for
the past two years has at length ceased
and are looking forward to better busi
ness and they now think a market value
has been established. The situation, how
ever, is hardly such that a raise in values
will be immediately forthcoming. The
bulk of the business transacted has been
in the territory grades. For fine medium
and fine the scoured basis is about 4Q@43c,
while th-» strictly staple calls for 44g/4nc.

NEW YORK. April c.—An astonishing
mutation of speculative sentiment was
demonstrated by the action of the stock
market today. There was not a sign of
the distress and acute, anxiety under
which the market laboied all day yester
day. It is the almost invariable rule
that such a violent, break in prices as
that of yesterday brings, in over night
an accumulation of selling orders from
alarmed holders of stocks, who wait for
daily reports for their information on
the stock market, but' the : opening this
morning was quiet and unruffled, and
with no .important pressure to sell f and
. with many notable advances i caused by
the demand of shorts. When tho day was
over the bull leaders had recovered their
full control of the situation, and were
marking up prices and attracting a large
following with ; all the facility which has
characterized j tneir operations | for many
weeks past. There was very palpable
manipulation," and there were carefully
organized operations to support the mar
ket. Commission houses which were
prominent in bidding up stocks and which
have stood for large speculative interests
all through the recent bull .campaign,
made free; tenders ;of ; money below the
rate offered by the banks at the same
time that they were buying stocks. The
rumors of the Burlington deal was reha
bilitated, and had apparently not lost
any of its pristine force,'Although > offi
cial confirmation; was still conspicuously
lacking. .:r There, was revived "- credulity
in many other rumors which have already
done good service,, including- that of the
supposed readjustment of General Elec
trics capital and the Southwestern rail
road merger. The settlement of the in
ternal dissension in the American Smelt
ing company, the advance in the price of
lined sugars, .arid ; absenGe of any
engagement of gold for export by to
morrow's steamer,' wer^ all r used with
effect by tht-. bulls. ''"ASlvances reached
six points in Burlington. Rock Island and
Northwestern, 3% in Northern Pacific.
4 in. Texas & Pacific, -4.»in_Ghicago <& Eas
tern Illinois,. ZV2 • in. ("Metropolitan, 3 in

Amalgamated Copper 4, "Sugar 2%, Ur,:.<~l
States Express 5%, Robber .4%, the pre
ferred and the macjamty of the prin
cipal active stocks fronv one to two
points. Only in one" or two cases were
the gains fully maintained, : reactions
-running from 1 to 2sUotnit the market
was vigorously supported: again, and the
closing was irregular. /fE'he pressure ;of
profit-taking was not notably heavy,
even at the advance^'-- Apparently the
speculative holders. qJL, stocks were de
termined to held for. to further-rise, un
less they were forced-into liquidation !>y
calling of loans, or^fcyitcwiping. out of
margins. There wa§-,much less palling
for losns today than yesterday and this
called attention to several I caused' 1 for
special pressure in yesterday's -money
market. Today's clearing house state
ment disclosed the enormous total of ex
change of $437,551:,980, which is over $12.
--000,000 ihr excess "of the largest* previous
day's ' record in the history of the- clear
ing fc/ouse. "*■" The" general ' activity of 'the
stock -market Yesterday 'had -seme-thing
to do. with this, but the settlement arrow
ing. out i:o€r*he~diftererices .litTtneycbntraptd
to deliver the,_.Uflse4. States,^j^eel -"stoclis ;
when issued was a special feature. This
involved the adjustmenV of transactions
,in over '^0O,0n(): shares, ; being the -total of
all the transactions since these^r^^tracts'
to deliver ; had r 'beeii dealt in. 3 Tne prep
aration of • the- certificates of -the- United
States Steel, stocks made possible, actual
deliveries, ao that the.op^ra^tors whom'the
clearings showed to"be'loii'g df the stock
found - themselves c&lle-d aipan yesterday
for r a settlement. tTht-.easier, money in
London today lessened , the demand .for
exchange and the rate for sterling yield
;ed a fraction. —The subtreasury; was a
debtor at the clearing house today to the'
amount of $1,&Q9,r>37, ;on account of pay
ment by the postoff.ee department to rail
way;? for the transportation ♦ of'»-malls
" Yesterday's heavy liquidation^ also claused
seme" natural relief to the money market:'
There,was 430t lacking a suspicion tUat
yesterday's violent relapse was winked
at, if not coriniv'ed' at. "by sbltt-OUt bull
leaders, - either- to-eiiafcle them., to get .in
at lower prices or to -shako .out a "weak

~ FOREIGN FINANCIAL—New York,
April 3.-r-Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram: Business generally
was cramped on the stock market here
today by the impending settlement which
comes tomorrow. The tone, however,
was firm. The.chief interest was in the
American department which was moder
ately busy.. The American shares
opened cautiously but it soon was realiz
ed that the drop was infinitesimal when
compared with the recent advance, and a
general quiet buying movement set in.
'Shis was encouraged by the opening in
New York, and the appearance of Ameri
can support. The close was cheerful,
and at the top prices today; The Nor
thern Pacific issues were the leading
feature here. Berlin neglected them,
fairing Erics. The call loan rate was
3 per cent. Time loans for settlement
3Vi per cent, bills 2 9-16. It is expected
■that £5.000,000 of government divi
dends will soon be mopped up by repay
' ments to the bank which will probably
resume its strong grip on money within
a few days. £25,000 in gold has
been imported from the continent. Silver
spurted today on speculative buying.
WALL STREET GOSSlP.—Strong.
Sturgis & Co. wire Holbert & Son:
"Steel stocks are neglected, but this is
due very largely to the fact that heavy
deliveries are being made and operators
are disturbed and waiting to find out
exactly what their real position Is. be
fore embarking in further speculation
in these securities. The earnings, how
ever, are in such an unusually flattering
condition that we feel confident a further
advance of from 5 to 10 points will come
to both of these stocks. There is but
li*lte bearish element in the market and
although the rapidly approaching sum
mer period may bring with it a certain
amount of dullness, there Is no evidence
that it will bring any unfavorable ele
ments. For that reason, although there
will be liquidation on part of operators
■who are leaving the city, on the other
hand, at any concession in price, ample
buying orders seem to be always ready."
