CHICAGO, April 2.—Demoralization was again in_evidence in the grain pits on the Hoard of Trade for a brief period foday | during which time wheat for July dellvery | sold off to $1.08%, which was §c below the low point touched during yesterday's sen- | sational slump. At the same time corn | oz, ey Sk A ol of the loss in | I‘nrn share of that in corn | was subsequently regained, wheat closing firm' at net gains of a shade to ligc com- revious close. Corn closed at net losses %o to 1%@1%e. Oats and provisions closed easy. The fresh break In wheat prices occurred shortly after the opening, which was very lrr?u with prices igc lower to ke higher. ‘The advance at the start was due | chiefly to a sharp rally at Liverpool, fol- lowing considerable weaknesa there earller in the dy. Taking the advance in the English market as an indication of a rally here, shorts plunged in to cover on first trades and prices were given a quick upturn. July opened at $1.1 to $L11, and May at 8125 to $1.284. Three or four of the leading commission houses, which were the principsl sellers yesterday, then re- newed thelr selling operations and the market soon became extremely weak. Early buyers switched to the selling side, and as prices declined fresh stop loss or- ders were reached which accelerated the downward movement. Before the decilno was checked July had sold off to $1.08%, May to $1.20% and September to 51014, while December dropped below the dollar rk to ®%c. Coverlng by shorts then used another rally and during the re- mainder of -the day a much steadler fee ing was manifested. Delay to seeding in the northwest due to cold weather wa the chief bullish Influence of the day. News in general was favorable to the bears. Argentine shipments wore over the estimate at 2,006,000 bushels for the week and Australia shipped over 800,000 bush- els. Most of the orop reports which came in were less bullish, the planting in most states showing decided improvement com- with & week or so ago. The Kan- wsas report makes the condition of the Crop in that state 85 as againsi 8, tho| government's April figure, and the acreago | now left 6,082, acres versus 6,424,000 acres seeded last fall.

MARKET GENERALLY LOWER Faverable Clost Market Tome Is Weaki-Wheat Closely Watched— Are Irregular. NEW 'YORK, April #.—Thert was some calling of loans going on today by the banks and the “search for renewed ac- commodation, while without violent effect on the call joan rate, apparently had the effect of Inducing some speculative liquida- tion. The call loan rate touched i per cent, which is higher than since the first week in January. The sales for foreign account overbalanced the purchases and some renewed anxiety over the situation | in Turkey was inferred (rom this and from the special weakness of Turkish bonds in the European markets. These were the only peroeptible faclors duce weakness in the stock market Revised estimates of crop prospects con- tinued to come in, indicating greatly en- larged yleid, as compared with the se- verely impalred crop which was held In, while wheat prices were mounting by leaps and bounds, An atientive eye w kept on the wheat quotations in Chicago, however, with the idea that the revulsion of sentient resulting from the slump in wheat might lead to too sanguine opinions of the real crop situation. The opening bulge in wheat caused some chill to the speculative sentiment in the stock market | and the subséquent reaction was only partly effective in quieting apprehension The calling of loans by the banks evi- dently wak for the purpose of meeting the demands on their resources incident 10 the successive issues of new bonde. Raliroad corporations o figured con- fidently in these new fssues, but the an- nouncement today of the sale of $5,000,000 | bonds by the Corn Products company brought ~the industrials into the repre- sentation. Reports continue of the readi- ness with which these bond issues are passed from the hands of the under- writers into those of secondary invesiors. Estimates of the weck's currency move- ment indicate that there has been a sub- stantial idition to the holdings of the banks, in spite of the $2,500,00 of gold shi) d _abroad. Subtreasury operations yielded $9,163.000, so that the net receipts on the interior movement went to all the advantage of the banks. Tt s believed the interior receipts exceed the shipments to the neighbarhood of $4.000,000. Withdrawals of $250000 gold from the subtreasury for export was announced late in the da There was a marked subsidence in il rate of absorption of bonds at the Stoc! exchange today, and this also might be fairly attributed to the changed outlook in the money market. Bankers are begin- nng to consider possible advances in in- | terest rates. Favorable Incidents were ignored by to- day's stock market, although there were some stocks here and there which made a show of strength. ‘The belief is un- changed that an agreesment is Imminent between anthracite miners and operators for a wage settlement. The more hogeful rumors of the complexion of the forthcom- ing quarterly report of the earnings of the United States Steel corporation were heard still, but with impaired influence. The ghorts showed some urgency (o cover in the late market, but the closing tone of the market was generally weak and showed losses for the day Bonds were irregular.

CATTLE—Receipts of cattle this morning were _extremely _light, there not belng enough of any one kind to reailly make & market. Recelpta for the week have also been light as compared with the week be- fore, but very liberal as compared with a year ago. The quality of the cattle hero loday was nothing very extra, there being very few desirab e of kind. 1t was evident buyers afl wanted a few beet steers and accordingly they were out in the yards early, and anything that would answer thelr ~purposes Soid quite veadily at prices that looked a littie stronger than yesterday. The cattle market Lnis week, ‘as already noted in these columns, very severe break on Tuesday , the general market on the latter day being quoted right around 2c lower than the previous week. A noticeable feature was that the good heavy cattle suffered the most decline, while the fair o medium lighter gradeés suffered the Jgast. In other words, the cheaper cattle ere in better demand than the high-priced Kkinds, Yesterday and today, owing to the very light runs and to the fact that a few loads were wanted, prices have shown quite a little improvement, but still the feelin fs Weak and liad (here been 100 cars instea of, elghteen the condition of the market would have been very ditferent. The few scattering bunches of cows and heifers in sight this morning commanded 00d, firm prices and were all disposed of an early hour, Cows and helfers have been goud sellers all the week, the trade being reasonably ctive on most days, and they are fully igh as they were a week ago. #here were no stockers or feaders of any consequence in sight this morning, but the feellng was firm. Cattle of that descrip- ton have mold this wesk at the highest point for the year, notwithstanding the sharp break in beef catcle. " Thia has becn due, however, entirely to the extremely Jight receipts, as the demand has been very moderate. Had there been anything like fair or liberal receipts of feeders the mar- ket undoubtediy would have broken down as _rapidly as beef steers.
