| COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Speculators Hold Aloof, Waiting for Gov- ernment Orop Report. CORN ALONE HOLDS GRASP ON PRICES Diher Two Cereals, at Mercy of Bear- Jah News, Suffer Depre n—Bul Loyal to Provisions and Valaes Increane. CHICAGO, April 10.—Grain speculation hun Inu |m|-yu while traders waited for the government crop report and tried to liscount it. Conditions on wheat favored sears all the day, but corn more than made Its losses it met with early in sympathy Mth wheat. At the close May wheat was and May fats %e down. Provisions c 5aT%e to 0 higher. Toverything early in wheat was bearish. Cables were lower, clearances small, the weather warmer and the cash situation poor. Added to these was the opinion of many that the government report of the ARl orop condition would be bearish also. Receipts, while #till small, were not o sonspicuously light as yesterday. Under these Influences May opened 4@hc to % lower _at 72@71%c and gradually worke: own to Ti%ke. The crowd showed little in- slination to do Anything one way or the ther. There was some fatr early buying, but it had only a temporary effect. Late there were some bad reports on crops and 3 better business reported from the sea- voard. Corn atrength which developed late alded in_steadying the market. May ral- Wled_to 73c, but closed weak, %@%e lower, Ti%e. Receipts 27 cars, none contract. Minneapolls and Duluih reported 15 cars, & total for the three points of 184 cars, nst 224 last week and 26 a year ago. Tecelpts were 342,000 bu., compared with 416,000 bu. a year ago. Seaboard clear- ances equaled $78,000 bu., against 792,000 bu. iast year. The meaboard reported 22 loads taken for export. Corn had the same sort of depressing aews to start with as did wheat, but the southwestern cash markets o me the bearish Influences and a net gain was re- Sorded. Cables were lower, the weather was warmer and the bulls early seemed indisposed to support the market, St Louls and the southwest were bullish and reported liberal covering of short accounts. Commission houses took most of the of- ferings, much of it for the southwest. The movement of corn was still small. Late in the day interests_came Into the market rices up. Forelgn bids had improved and New York reported sales of Australian shipments. May slumped early to o8 c_and sold back to G9%c and closed firm, W@%e up, at @H%e. Re- celpts, 30 cars. Oats were dull and weak. Falr selling un _crop reports of good seeding conditions and the early corn weakness easily de- ressed prices. May was much weaker han the other options. Advices of better country movements hurt prices, but a late ¢ u ose: 140 lower, May corn ! large local nd bid ceport of good cash sales brought a par- tial rally. May sold down to 41%c and closed % lower at 41 Recelpts, 124 cars, Provisions were active for a short tim but lapsed Into duliness with the wait for the government report. H vanced In price and packers supported lard and ribs. re was a fair cash demand for the former. Bcattered selling for the outside depressed values for a time, but late buying sent them up again and brought & firm close all along the list.

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS, Flurry in Money Market Agitates Disposition to Sell Stocks, NEW YORK, April 10.—There was a very wild market for Loulsville & Nashville to- day and the ominous jumps made by the price in its convulsive ‘advange to 120 this morning aroused unpleasant ‘memories of May 9 last year, when Northern Pacific was cornered, precipitating the severest panic in the history of the Stock exchange. Many of the active operators in Loulsviile & Nashville on the rise have fostered the supposition that a distressed short interest was almed at by the campalgn, This dis- position to buy stocks was suddenly cooled and a preference for the selling side de- veloped. The disposition to sell was Increased by gnother furry in the money market dur: ing the afternoon and the selling movement spread throughout the list, carrying pric of the active stocks very generally between 1 and 2 points under last night. Stocks hich had been conspicuous for strength, notably Southern Rallway and Missour] Pa- cific, did not escape damage to this extent. In some cases the losses conslderably ex- ceeded the limits. Loulsville alone of the prominent stocks continued to show fever- ish strength, rebounding from each succes- sive reaction. There was some covering by professional shorts before the close, but the selling was actively renewed and the closing was irregular and not far from the lowest. The action of Loulsville seemed to indl- cate that a short interest in the stocks was fecling considerable distress to maintain Its position. | The Wall street supposition 18 plausible that the disposition of the $5,000,000 new stock authorized involved a short posi- tion in the market technically necessitating the borrowing of the stock sold until the Stock exchange authorities admit the new stock to the Iist. Reports of buying for control by competing companies or of in- tended consolidations have all met with official denfals. As a tactical speculative measure for inclting speculation elsewhere in the market, the wild movement in_Louis- ville is demonstratably a fallure. Durin the first hour today over one-quarter o the total capital stock of the comp.ny changed hands and dealings for the day amounted to over half the capitalization. Within three days the number of shares sold has been many thousand In excess of the total capitalization of the company. ‘The highly speculative character of the movement 18 therefore clear. The dealings in Southern rallway cone tinued very large today, in accordance with the hypothesls of a contest for control be- tween the two companies, but it made no {reat progress upward and shared in the ate reaction. The rise in Missourl Pacific was ascribed to pool operations based on the evident working out of extensions for the Gould system. The sensitive condition of the money market was emphasized by today's announcements of a huge combination in the hardware trade, the undertaking by American capital to finance the London traction improvement and the purchase by New York capitalists of the Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf railway, all promising syndicate requirements for credits. For- eign _exchange declined further, indicatin further borrowing of foreign capital, an obvlating the cholce of further immediate gold exports. Probably some of the late Selling was due to a desire to close up accounts fn expectation of the government crop report, after the closing. e bond market ylelded to realizing in sympathy with stocks and became irregular after notable strength in the recently ac- tive speculative dealings. Total sales, par value, $4,975,000. United States 6s advanced % per cent on the last call. 'Re following are the closing prices on the New York Btock exchange: i So. Rallway . do ptd.

The qualit, was not quite as goo yesterday, so that. the of the offerings on the whole as more desirable grades sold readlly at very satlsfactory prices. Recelpts Included about the usual portion of beef steers, pro- and the market started out steady to strong and actlve. It was noticeable, however, that buyers were picking out’ the better grades and leaving the commoner kinds until the last. That made the last end of the market seem a little slow and weak, but still cattle sold_for about as much on the close as time. There were fewer cholce cattle on sale today than for some little time past. There was not much life to the cow trade this morning, and the tendency of prices was undoubtedly downward, the same as they would have brought at yesterday. any Packers complained of the fact that the cow market is too high here, as compared with other points, and for that the prices they have been for the last several weeks. The medium grades and canners were also neglected today and were hard to sell at any price, but that has veen the case for %0 long that that is no longer a feature reason they are. slow to pay of the trade. Bulls, veal calves and stags sold at right close to steady prices where the quality was at all good. The stocker and feeder trade was very slow today owing to the rain, which specu- Jators thought would keep biyers at home. uality of the offerin, that pric round.

After the first round trading was very active and it only took a short time for everything in the yards to change hands. The quality was only fair and light hogs advanced fully as much as the heavy- welghts. Good heavy hogs sold largely from $6.85 to $6.9 and as high as $7 was paid. The mediumweights went mostly from $6.75 to_$6.8 and the lighter loads sold from $6.75 down. Today's advance carrled the market to | the highest point reached since last Sep- tember. The high day of last year was September 23, when the average cost was a fraction over $6.89. The top price of the year was also §i, so that the market is w just about back to the high point of | last year.
