April 29.—Realizing caused a severe break in wheat today and May closed -I%@%c lower. July corn closed %c down, May unchanged. Oats closed \, :<TV lower, and provisions" uii changed to 7%@10c depressed. While world's statistics \ver3 bullish, ■wheat traders were more impressed by Liverpool's failure to follow the aggres sive advance here Saturday and heavy lines of long stuff were offered. May at the opening being quoted DtV4c to .' 3s@%c lower, at 70% cto 74c. Outside buy ing orders' cared for the _offerings early, but the marke showed no rally ing power. This demand soon died out and longs, discouraged further by tho -fall. of ..rain in California, the lack, of export inquiry, the liberality and re ceipts and the fact that bug reports . failed to show any spread of the pest, ; continued to liquidate the remainder of the session. May was gradually forced oft to 72% c and the close was weak, 1% @%c lower, at 72%®72%c. The visible de creased 1,516,000 bu.

July •was hit by the wheat slump by freer country offerings, liberal receipts, easy cables and a vast improvement in the weather which is now regarded as high ly favorable for germination. July sold between 45% c and 45% c. and closed %c down, at 45% c. May ranged between 4S%C and 47-^c, and closed unchanged, at 48% c. Receipts were 17!) cars, nine of contract grade. Oats were active, and despite a moder ate price recession, seemed firm at the bottom. The cash inquiry remained :In its previous satisfactory condition. The •vvheat weakness, however, was too pro nounced to be ignored, and the market -eased off in the end. May sold between 27%e and 26% c, and closed %@?|c lower, ;at 26% c. July ranged between 26% c and 25% c, and closed %c down at 260.

April 29.—if 'there were any doubts entertained that the,., 1 specu lative advance might. be interrupted after the holiday intervals, they were dispelled within live - minutes : after . the trading opened in the new temporary quarters of the stock exchange. • The | first trans actions ♦ demonstrated the leading posi tion of I the j United .-; States Steel stocks,' Union Pacific and Northern Pacific in the speculative situation, and. that leadership was unaffected during the : whole of the day. There was great activity and some striking :strength shown by a number of other stocks, but they paled into in significance In. comparison with the, fu rious activity, and extraordinary. ; price changes in the leaders. Often during tho day there were strips of several feet -of ticker tape which recorded : successive transactions in one or the other: of these stocks, with not a - single : block of. less' i than 1,000 shares in the series, and : run i ning .up to 8,000 shares. The extreme I advance in Union Pacific extended to -12Vi ! in the later afternoon and in Northern ! Pacific> to■;■-•. 10%. i; United States Steel ; stocks 1 did not show such wide fluctua-. j tions as is natural from the much great | er volume of the company's total capital- I ization. ! Nevertheless the; common stock I achieved an extreme advance of 3%,; and the preferred of 2%, and held more firm-: i ly than almost any other stock in the i list. There were some very striking ga ns among the -grangers. Pacifies and trunk i lines, but these seemed to be asociated •in the minds .of the buyers with j the j movement in Union Pacific. Rock Isl : and was at one time 6% over Pslday, ' St." i Paul 4%. New York Central 5, Pennsyl- I vania 3&, Illinois Cent. 3%, St. •L. & S. F. i second preferred ._3%, and a number of j other related stocks from 2: to 3 points. i Colorado Fuel rose 8 points, J and Amal | gamated Copper 3%. If these stocks are ! set apart it will be found t\s£t the deal j ings elsewhere and the "w6vement of I prices otherwise were not^sensational. ; But hv contemplating thesp uspecial price I movements and the volume., of dealings in. ] the stock enumerated, one has compassed the salient facts of • the' Extraordinary i i market of the day. There no specific i j news to account for the runArecedented dealings, which lifted the * days record !to 2,760,000 shares. As the vital point of j the speculation is the nwjney supply, the increase in surplus ' reserves sh';wn j by Saturday's bank statement was a fa- : vorable factor. The gain in . cash was: ! noted with special satisfaction as reflect- I ing the continued inflow of funds to New j York. Much store is placed also in the j government international disbursements i to be made on May 1, and l§Tg<e corpora j tion dividend payments are also counted j upon for to help the . money- situation. .; The reliance placed on these factors was | made l evident «. by the •■> sma-Il i monetary ' i effect of the ; engagement of $1,750,000 in j gold for export, and the opinion of ex- ' i change experts that ■ probably $5,000,000 ' might go out during the week.: There was some doubt as to the destination of the' i gold, but that it would go to the con | tinent, and not to London," seemed cvi- I dent. The additional , engagement .of ■ ,000,000 for London was unknown until J after the close. The decline of the con ! tinental exchange on London, in : spite i of the rather plethoric condition of the j continental money market ! and the rela i tive stiffness of the London money mar ket, is ' beginning to arouse .surmise in financial circles, : : whether . preparations are not making by the continental gov ernment banks to provide for floating a Russian loan, in addition to the re quirements of the British loan. The . strength of : the steel stocks was accom panied by rumors of coming .statement which will show extraordinary earnings by the United . States Steel corporation. j The belief is widespread- in '■' speculative i circles that extensive readjustments in j the relations of the various granger and Pacific railroad systems are necessitated- In compensation for the Burlington deal. This belief gives- rise to almost infinitely varied rumors, . almost all of which are received with a certain amount of cre dulity, The action of the whole market shows clearly that the demand from i stocks from all classes of buyers retains j its veracious force and needs only the leadership of an upward movement in J price to bring in such buying from all I quarters as eclipses all previous experi j ence in the history of speculative markets !in Isew York. The final volatile outburst . in Union Pacific and Northern Pacific , today seemed to arouse misgivings.' and } there was free profit-taking through the ' p?st of the list. Rut this jsteiactly the I story of last week's similar movement in I Union Pacific, which caused widespread (apprehension lest the culmination of the j boom had arrived, and whlifc was, never- I theless, followed by. a renewal In full j force of the speculative advance.

We admit that although we ; have been offering these views for some time - past . many of out friends prefer to hold their stocks rather than to ac cept : the ruling quotations. ;, Of course ; such action on . their part has been for tunate and S their ventures have I proved -successful, but we feel It still our duty to - throw out 1 the word ;of _ caution whether it is indorsed by their action oi> . otherwise ; - Shipments of gold to Eu rope are imminent and to a very consid erable extent will \no doubt take place.
