COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Hot Windy Weather Incites Grains to Brisk Ruptore at Opening. PROVISIONS DRAGGED IN DOWN HILL RUT ker Than for Many Days but Close W nd Corn and Onats Also Wheat Qaits with 81 in. one, nt CHICAGO, Aprll 21.—Weather ruled the rain pits again today. windy conditions in the winter wheat couniry started grains with a smart up- gurn, but predictions of relief by showers worked against the bulls and May wheat closed only a shade higher, May corn W@ 5o lower and May oats o down. Pro- visions closed 10@17c depressed. Trade in wheat had a nervous strain, t the opening there was a rush toward {hio ‘Weather map, and when only ‘o few scanty shiowers were shown to have fallen since Saturday there was an opening bul- lish spurt. Yet most of the professionals ihesitated about planging in on the bull side for fear that some small showers might be magnified in the minds of the bears into & big rain and a break of sev- eval cents ensue. Considering the fact that the entire wheat belt was dry—even dryer than before—the early trade was tame. May opened R@c higher at T6@74%c; then came predictions that the hot and un- seasonable blasts would have some small rellef by showers, and !»IHI)T set in. Gos- elp had it also that the Wall street erowd was selling heavily in order to create an Tmpreasion on the Btock exchange that the wheat crop was in no danger. May wheat tell oft c before the decrease of 2,370,- 00 bushols In the visible supply came to the relief of the bulls and started cover- ing. Weather reports, as of late, were confiicting_and favored both sides of the market. This kept the talent guessing and held business down. The feeling was mixed; May late in the day had a rally and closed steady, a shade up at UHRG Wyc. Local recelpts were twenty-elght cars, three of contract grade; Minneapolis nd Duluth reported 200 cars, making a fin1 Yor the ihree points of 231 cars, against 257 last week and 300 a year ago. @rimary receipts were 205,000 bushels, com- ared to 348,000 bushels last year. Sea- S()lnl clearances in wheat and flour iqualed_589,000 bushels. World's shipments avere 7,470,000 bushels, ~against 5,060,000 bushels ‘last week and 8,286,000 bushels ‘a year ago. Breadstuffs on passage In- treased 264000 bushels. Corn_trade wag smail and had no prom- nent features. The market was inclined o follow wheat and prices advanced at the opening. Stocks continued to decrease, but the prospects of an easier wheat mar- ket Irduced selling. Cables were unex- K;‘('lenil)‘ firm, but soon lost their influence. ay corn opened %X@%e to a shade up at §214@62c and sold off to 6l4c; later there #vas some covering as wheat rallied and some of the loAs was recovered. Near the end of the session, however, the market turned heavy and selling ascribed to the " Bouthwest brought an easy close; May, L@%e lower at 61%c. Receipts were 106 cars. o There was a fair-sized flurry In oats at ‘.he opening, based on the fear of damage 0 sown oats by the dry weather. There avas a good commission house demand, but later selling by recelvers eased prices'con: plderably. When the hopes that the drouth storles would create a strong demand were not realized there was a further rush to unload and the market siffered. May sold from 43%c down to 425 and closed easy, dsc down at 42%c. Recelpts were 147 cars Provisions suffered a further decline and tlosed weaker than for many days. Hogs arrived in larger numbers than estimated and stock yards prices were weaker. Added to this bearish factor was the fear that newspaper comment of excessively high prices for meat would retard consumption. elling in all products was liberal, both by packers and the scalping trade. May pork closed 17%c lower at 316.42%, May lard 10c gdown st .6 and May ribs 1ic lower at Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 35 cars; corn, 140 cars; oats, 285 cars; hogs, 24.000 head.

YORK STOCKS NEW AND BONDS, Marked Activity in Stock and Silver Slamp Minimom NEAV YORK, April 21.—This was another day of very active and varled speculation in stocks, but ‘he campaign for the ad- vance recelved a rather severe check. The day started off with indications of a vepeti- tion of the successful tactics adopted last weck of heavy buying at some new points to_oftset realizing at others. It 80 happened that the stocks in which realizing was attempted, namely, the west- ern_and Pacific stocks, were acutely de- pressed by threat of harm to the crops and by the leave granted to the state of Washington to file a suit in the supreme court against the Northern Securities com- pany. The leaders of the campaign for the ad- vance recovered their position to some ¢ tent late in the day by a vigorous borrow- ing movement in Southern Pacific up to 6% and in Reading and Manhattan, which were lifted 24 and 3% over Saturday. This induced a general covering movement in the whole market and in substantial ralli which materially reduced the losses, but still prices were generally below Saturday. The steamship merger was accepted o8 additional indication of the confidence uf large capital in continued prosperous con- ditions. The results of the day's operations in the market showed the importance of the outcome of the crop situation. ‘An incident of the day was the demorali- zation in the silver market, which carried silver bullion to an ounce, compared with the previous fow record of sic cn September, 1897, when Japan adopted the gold standard, ' The slump is sald to be ue to selling by China as a necessary in- cldent to the payment of the indemnity to the powers. The strength of Reading and Manhattan was due to buying by the same brokers who were heavy sellers of Union Pacitle and St. Paul. There were rumors of al scrption of Reading in Pennsylvania inta ests. The market closed active and about steady. New York Afrbrake, International Power, the Electric stocks, Keokuk & Des Molnes and Nashville, Chattanooga & St, Louis made sensational and unexplained advances. The heavy selling of Union Pacific con- vertible bonds was the feature of the bond market. Total sales, par value, 36,685,000, United Btates bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

Totals A 7,008 CATTLE—There was not a heavy run of ttle here today, as recelpts were just out the same as they were a week ago, d as compared with the same day of last year there is a decre All ‘markets were quoted lower, so that the general ten- dercy of prices ‘was downward at this point in spite of the moderate offerings. There were a good many beef steers in- cluded {n the receipts this morning, and the quality was good on the average. As Chicago was quoted a dime lower packers tried to take off that much here, and suc- ceeded to quite an extent. Sellers did not like to take off very much from last week's prices, and a slow, weak market was the result’ The general market was right around a dime lower, though some sales looked worse than that, while others were better. It was rather late before anything like a clearance was made. The cow market was not very active, but still packers did not take off much. A good many salesmen succeeded in getiing just about steady prices for desirable stuff, but in_some cases it was impossible to get quite last week's quotations. The situa- tlon could, perhaps, best be described by calling the market steady to a shade lower. Bulls, veal calves and atags sold at about steady prices, where the quality was sat- isfactory, but where the quality was poor the market was slow and weak. The stocker and feeder trade was rather slow and weak. The hot, dry weather of today and Sunday it was feared would interfere with the demand from the coun- try, and as & result speculators were a little cautions about getting too many cattle on hand. Anything on the common order was extremely slow and lower, but the best grades sold at right close to steady prices. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS. , Av. Pr.

The demand was of liberal proportions and an actiye and stronger market was experienced. The general mar- ket could safely be quoted strong to a dime higher, and everything good was out of first hands fn good season. It was notice- able, however, that packers were not par- ticularly anxious for the commoner grades and sellers, in some cases, found It hard to move their common stuft at what they considered — satigfactory prices. — Wooled lambs sold as high as $.9 and clipped wethers brought $.90.
