(COMMERCIAL AND. FINANCIAL Little Animation in Grain Pits and Orowd Boems in Doubt. JWHEAT AND CORN MAKE SLIGHT GAINS Oats, However, Recelve Little Support Limp Down, but Upheld by Pork Clo) and Prie vistons Thou Packers, Lower, CAGO, April 20.—Grain traders seemed Choubt today what side of the market to Had there been anything worth the outside buying the bullish in- pushed prices ®00d advance. ‘was the pro- speculator was too prominent to Proad market and July wheat closed only 4@c July corn K@% higher and Jul lower o"!ui)' Provisions ed 2%e higher to ¢ lower. R heat was firm and higher at the open- . Liverpool cables did not show a d o0 Teaponse o the break hers yeste day, recelpts were still small and Kansas was still sending in woeful reports of her crop condition. Both the northwest and southwest contradicted the report that farmers' deliveries were more liberal and sald wheat was as hard to buy from first hands as at any time. Reports from North Dakota sald_ponds covered many of the fields and that acreage will be reduced and_that the ground would not be in fit condition to plow untll the middle of May. On the other hand, rains were coplous in most of the Ohio valley. There was a little wpurt of buying at the start, but as yes- terday this turned to a selling pressure later and early gains were lost. Profes- #lonals, however, continued to buy in the dull market and prices reacted slightly, July opened ke higher to unchanged at T34 @Tie, advanced to T5%@T%e and closed firm, %@%c up, at Tok@iblc. Receipts were 1§ cars, 1 contract: Minneapolls and Duluth reported 1% cars, a total for the three points of 208, against 236 last week and 320 a year ago. Primary receipts were 000 bu., compared to 407,000 bu. last ear. aboard clearances equalled 436,000 u. The seaboard reported five loads taken for export to France. Falr buying by the bull interests sup- jorted corn again today. Trade was dull, owever, the outsiders kept out of the market and the close showed only a slight {mprovement. Cables were firm, consider- ing our position terday, but this influ- ence was offset by liberal rains in the corn_country. Offerings were expected to increase in ‘the interior and receipts here were slightly better. Offerings in futures, however, were readily taken up at any d cline. Dullness of the trade Kept prices from good advances. July sold at G44@ 6i4c and closed firm, %@%c up, at Gi%a | 64%c. Recelpts, 128 cars. Oats received no assistance from corn or wheat. The recent heavy rains were deemed beneficial to the sown oats and re- ceipts _were much more llberal than of late. The cash demand was fair, but coun- try offerings were axpected to easily sup- ply the demand. Some small offerings on the dull ‘market caused recessions and July, after opening steady at sic, closed wenk, %c lower at . Receipts, 266 cars. A good demand for lard, especially by packers, and the hog and grain situation upheld ‘provisions. There was almost an entire absence of outside profit-taking, though scattered selling of pork took off much of the gain. July pork closed e lower at $17, July lard 2ic higher at $10.12 and July ribs a shade up at $9.50. Estimated receipts tomorrow: Wheat, % cars; corn, 76 cars; oats, 130 cars; hogs, 27,000 head!

Speculative Intere: Drops Prices Irregular and Con NEW YORK, April 20—The movement of prices was confused and irregular all of today arid there was evidence of a dimin- ishing speculative interest. The wide move- nients in high priced stocks continued a feature, but the Influence of the advances was impaired by some equally notable re- lapses in stocks where attempts were made to take profits. A case in point was that of New York, New Haven & Hartford, which fell violently 9 points on an attempt to market a small amount of the stock be- cause of the emphatic disclaimers from both Pennsylvania and New York Central authorities of the rumors of purchase of control, The decrease reported In Reading sur earnings for March was an uniavor Influence. The very heavy decreases in net earnings ot the Southern Rajlway for March was certainly not a stimulating In- tluence, ~although it was accounted for largely by the notable increase in operating expense: he western rallroads, on the other hand, were_benefited by the crop news and by the weckly crop bulletin of the weather bureau which was considered very favor- able, not only regarding the condition of winter wheat, but as to the progress mads in_seeding corn and spring wheat. The grain carrying railronds also were helped by the speclal strength of the Northwestern stocks, which rose 104 and 5%, respectively, Rock Island galned an extreme 5%, but lost over 2 of it. The strength of the Wabash stocks and of the Wheellng & Lake Erie stocks was evidently due to the apparent certainty that the bid of the syn- dlcate representing the Gould interest for the Western Maryland will be accepted The industrinle were marked by quite as great Irreguiarity as the rafiroads and changes there were constant and variable. A _further advance in the forelgn ex- change market and a drop in the rate of sterling at Paris both contributed to nar- row the margin still remaining from the gold export point. The money market, undisturbed. Much however, attention tracted by action of the clearing house au- thorities Tequirlng that institutions which snall br wdmitted hereatter to the privilege of ciearing through :aembers must first be established for a ?'v»\r, uand must maintain in thelr own vaults the same percentage of cash reserves as required of the mem- bers themselves. They will be required also to furnish weekly statements of aver- ages for publication. 'This action is calcu- lated to )’nn a restraint upon the multipli- cation of trust companies. It Is carefully explained that the requirements are not retroactive, which is to say that they do not at all apply to the condition of the trust companies which at present enjoy the privileges of the clearing house, ai- though that condition has been the 'sub- ject lately of much comment and criticlsm, owing to the freedom of the trust com: panies from any requirement of publicity as to their loans and reserves. The bond market maintained a firm_tone today. Total sales, par value, $3,770,000, United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

In view of the liberal offerings the tendency was of course to pound the market wherever possible The big bulk of the receipts this morning was made up of beef steers and the quality was fully as good as it has been of late. Packers were all rather bearish in their views, 50 that it was late before many cattle had changed hands. In many cases buyers were bidding a good deal lower than they were yesterday, but as a gen- eral thing that was one the less desirable grades. The very best cattle, such as sold Tfrom 3$8.75 to $6.90, were very little If any lower than they were yesterday, but when it came to such kinds as sell from $6.75 down the market was undoubtedly lower. The commoner the quality the greater the decline, but in most cases it would be cov- ered by about a dime. The market was rather uneven from start to finish, and it was late before anything like a clearance was effected. There were not very many cows and helfers in the vards this morning, so that the market did not show much change from yesterday. Trading was none too active, but as a rule sellers succeeded in etting just about yesterday's quotations for anything that was at all desirable. There was also very little change in the prices paid for bulls, ‘veal calves and stags Where the quality was satisfactory, but of course the common stuff was weak and more or less neglected. Stockers and feeders were scarce this morning, and as the demand was in falrly good shape fully as good prices were pald today as were in force yesterday. Common and light stuff wi course, as hard to Mmove as ever, but desirable grades of heavywelght cattle sold at very satisfactor prices. As high as $.00 was paid for stocl cattle of good quality. About 16 cars of cattle were shipped to the country yester- day. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS. Pr.
