Domestically the situation is bullish, and particularly in the southwest. The corn market is gradually working nto a stronger position, backed by the light receipts and the refusal of the coun- trw»* to gontract future shipments. eat was a little groggy shortly after the opening, but strengthened later and a new high price for the crop.

CHICAGO, April 8.—The new high record for the season fof all deliveries was estab- lished in the wheat market today when the May option sold up to $LA and July to $1.08%. The new high point for May was within 1o of the best price touched during the celebrated Gates deal in 1%5. The market closed strong with prices %@bc lower to %@%c higher compared with the previous close. Corn, oats and provisions also closed firm. Rallying from a rather weak tone at the start, the wheat market became exceed- ingly strong and prices were easily forced beyond the high point of the season re- corded on the previous session. The ma- Jority of traders In the pit expected a reaction from the high price which pre- vailed yesterday and in this respect their expectations were realized, as the market opened at declines of ¥@Yc to %G%e. The ‘weakness at the start was due t) the heavy tone of European markets, particularly that at Liverpool, which was bearishly affected by unexpectedly liberal exports for the week from Argentina and Australia. Lead- ing bulls gave the market good support early in the day and a firm tone soon de- veloped which becamo strong as the sses- sion advanced. More damage crop reports were recelved, which helped to strengthen the market, but the chief reason for the buoyancy was the strongly increasing de- mand for the cash grain. Cash sales of 106,000 bu. wero closed here and a charter as closed to ship 1000 bu. more at the opeéning of Iauon. 8t. Louls and .Ka) sas o Feportea” brisk bld‘ln‘Kn’ur the cmsh graln.

There was some reaction {ater in the day, owing to profit-taking, but the markel, with the exception of the December delivery, In which month there waa very little trading, closed firm. Final quotations on May were at $1.208% and on July $1.0591,084. The corn market was helped materially by the buyige In wheat and by the popular bullish sentiment prevalent in the grain markets generally.

SUPPORT SEEMINGLY WITHDRAWN Widening Declines Bring Ont Stop Orders and Uncover Margin: —Met Trades Prospects Have Backset. NEW YORK, April 2.—The bears got the upper hand today in the contest which has waged on each successive day this week in the stock market. ‘'he professional trading element on the floor of the Stock exchange has been distrustful of the rise [in prices and has “felt for the top stantly by putting out short contrac Previous to today they have been forced to cover shorts at & loss, driven in by substantial resistance of the market to depression. ¢ The trend of the market was not deter- mined until after the first hour, the ab- sorption power being still manifest at that time when the large selling orders seemed to be met by almost equally heavy buy- ing. After a period of quietude the mar- ket began then to recede on comparatively withdrawal not urgent ot of support. While liquidati the beginning of this the widening of the declines began lodge stop l0ss orders and to uncoyer margins, which brought out large addi tional selling orders. The reaction w much lacking in definiteness to account for it as has been the week's advance The most effective argument of the bears was that the rise had proceeded far enough to call for reactlon In the normal prog- ress of a speculative movement, the re- duction of the long account by realizing sales, the passing of stocks from to weak hands, the vulnerability of the market attack with the bulling of a weak following and the improvement to res from shaking off the weak bulls by a dip in prices were all heard as arguments in the technical discussion of the market. The Interview of E. H. Harriman with the newspaper men yesterday deprived the bulls of some of the ammunition they have relied on by the frankness of some of his admissions. Rather definite _assertions wer circulation yesterday, which sisted in London this morning, that an advance in the Union Pacific dividend to 2 per cent had been determined on and in Southern Pacific to 7 per cent. Mr man's flat assertion that no dividend in creases were in contemplation in eithe: case took away this motive for_buying th stocks at advancing prices. ~Some infiu- ence was felt also from a rumor of a se- rlous attack of the King of England, which had caused some weakness of securities before it was authoritatively contradicted by the advices to the Associated Press. Sentiment regarding the steel trade un- | derwent ‘some packsct with the considera- tion that the statement of earnings for the first quarter of the year, due to appear during the month, must make a poor sho ing, while for the current quarter, owing to the cut in prices and tee comparatively light orders even at the reduced prices, the earnings may bo still less satistactory There a reduction in the price of cop- per also at the New York Metal exchange and in London, which served to dampen the confidence in reviving demand in that trade. Importance attaches, from a spec- ulative standpoint, to the reconvening of the supreme court on Monday nexi, in view of the pending decision on the Hepburn law commodities clause test case. Profes sions of confidence heard in the neighbor- hood of the Stock exchange for several days that this decision would not affect stocks, whatever it might be, subsided to- day with the approach of the sesslon of the court. Large influence was accorded {his factor in the later break in the mar- ot. Bonds_were irregular. Total sales, value, $5,33,000. United States bonds unchanged on call.

Good | grades were possibly a little better sellers | than yesterday, but there was no very | marked advance to talk about. On the other hand, common and inferior light loads were rather slow sellers, especially on the close. The movement was not par- ticularly active, and still the hogs kept changing hands a few loads at a_time, until pretty much everything was disposed of in very fair season. A considerable pro- portion of all the hogs sold at $6.86@8.5 and on up to $6.95 for good heavy hogs. The receipts today were not very heavy, cars belng reported in This made the total for the week 45,216, as against 49,905 for the same days lasi week {and 5,24 head for the same days two weeks ago.
