The September delivery joined company with the -December option below the doi- lar mark for a brief period at the start, when it sold at $9%c. e seyere slump at Liverpool was sald to be due to greatly in- creased offerings of Argentina and Indlan wheat at lower prices, and to continued favorable reports regarding the Buropean crop, The selling furore subsided to some extent er tHe first few nilnutes and a much calmer feellng was manifested. With the exception of the May and December de- lvery gflct‘l held within the opening range. Toward the middle of the day May de- clined stfil further to $L18, while the De- cember option rallled to $1.00. A number of rallles were experienced during the day, but t) were unimportant and were occa- sidned by covering by shorts and by buy- ing by owners of ‘dowriward indemnities. Crop advices were of an optimistic char- acter, There was scarcely enough cash wheat on sale to make a market, but de- mand was excellent and prices held firm. The market closed heavy, with May at g.lm. July at $L.07% and September at L0014 Corn was subjected to heavy liquidation early and prices broke sharply, but later much of the loss was regained on the free buying of May.

PRICES ARE GENERALLY HIGHER Traders Refased with News from NEW YORK, April 24—The activity of large part to covering operations by bear speculators, who sold stocks freely yester- day. The news from Constantinople was sufficiently sensational and the forelgn se- curities market sufficlently indifferent to it to suggest to the bear party that they were in a hazardous position, with obliga- tions to dellver stocks of which prices re- fused to decline. They bought to cover, therefore, and the advance was pushed by the bidding up of prices by their opponents. The securities markets abroad seemed to take a favorable rather than an apprehen- sive view of the course of events in Tur- key, indicating the preference of the finan- clal powers for the ascendancy of the lib- era] clement in Turkish affairs. While the immediate view of the situation was one of approval it was' felt that so inflamma- tory a condition at a sensitive point in European politics contained seeds of danger anw new commitments In stocks were un- dertaken wtih conservatism. The future course of the money market, also, is con- sidered with some caution. The uninter- Tupted succession of new bond lssues sug- gests a rate of absorption of banking facilities which will requife free replen- {shment to avold a closer working of in- terest rates. The announcement late yes- terday of a $2,000000 gold shipment to France opens up a fresh factor of deple- tion of banking reserves and the extent to which it may go will influence the do- mestic money situation materially, Lenders of money are not showing anything like the latd prevaliling eagerness to place funds and any marked revival of mercantile de- mand for credits would be bound to alter materfally the tone of the money market. The money outlook did net prevent an- other broad and active bond market today. The newly floated issues figure overwhelm- ingly in the bond dealings. Tho fresh break in the price of wheat was & sustain- ing Influence on stocks. The bank state- ment showed an_expansion in the daily loan avergges of $11,79,200, although the actual loan Increases on Friday night had reached only $1,672,400. The increase of $17513,000 in the loan account of the trust companies seems to have been taken over from the banks during the week, in connection with bond flotations. The relief afforded to the banking position finds reflection in the rise of $1,25,30 in the actual surplus on Friday night compared with $1.840,000 in that item shown by the computation by averages.

Savi¢ge, pastor of Peo- ple's chiweh, belleves he has found in the Bible precise prophecy of the situation in Turkey, especlally with reference to the abdication of the sultan.

His end has come. He asked Germany to help him and God wouldn't let Germany, thus fulfilling the words of the prophet, ‘and none shall | help him.' “I shall preach on that to my people Sunday morning."

The total for the week has also been very small as compared with last week’s heavy receipts, but at the same time it has been about on 8 per with previous weeks and consider- ably in'excess of the record made & year ago. The, market on beef steers attracted most attention during the week. Receipts of that kind of cattle were large in proportion to the total receipts and the quality was gen- erally pretty good, that is there were a many loads’ of very well finished welghty beeves. The market was not at all to the liking of sellers. On Tuesday and Wednesday it slumped badly, being quoted on the latter day right around 2%c¢ lower. Heavy beeves suffered the most decline, bearing out the statement already made in these columns that business conditions in the east are such that the consuming de- mand calls for cheap rather than expensive meats. Naturally enough the fair to me- dlum light welght cattle were in better request than the heavy cattle and suffered the least decline. On Thursday and Friday recelpts both here and at other market points were very light, with the result that prices recovered very rapidly a good share of the decline. Still the feeling at the close is far from good, the opinion being that the advance of the last two days was due entirely to the very light runs rather than to any improved condition in the de- mand. Operators on the market are afraid of the results of continued heavy runs and are generally advising their friends to go slow in marketing cattle, Cows and. heifers were in good .demand @l the week and they gemerally com- manded steady prices, being at the close of the week fully as high as they. were one week ago. This agaln bears out the assertion that it is the cheap meat that buyers are clamoring for rather than the expensive. | Stockers and feeders commanded steady to stronger prices, the market reaching the highest point of the season this week. As high as $575 was paid for good hay fed Wyomings. Quotations on cattle: Good to cholce cornfed steers, $6.00@6,60; fair to good corn- fed steers, %.00@6.00; common to fair corn- fed steers, $4.5006.50; good to choice cows and helfers, $4.75@5.! falr to good cows and heifers, $3.85@4.75; common to fair cows and heifers, $2.25@8.85; stock helfers, $3.0094.25; veal calves, $3.25@6. bulls, stags, etc., $3.0004.90; good to cholce stock- ers and feeders, $4.50G6.75; falr to good stockers and feeders, $4.00g4.6C; common to tair stocksrs and feade 25@4.00. HOGS—Hogs sold 6c higher this morning, and what was almost equully satisfactory was the fact that the trade was reasonably active at the advance. Buyers all seemed to want a few hogs, both shippers and packers, with the result that an early clear- ance was effected, in fact, practically everything in the yards was sold by 10 o'clock in the morning or soon after. A very considerable proportion of all the hogs sold at $6.95@7.20 and on up as high| as §1.90 for the best heavy hogs. Yesteérday the bulk brought only $6.90G7.15, with the best price at $7.25. Today's advance makes a new high rec- crd for this year, which also means that the hogs sold today at the highest point louched during the month of April since 1008, Receipts of hogs this week have been very liberal, showing a galn of close to 10,000 head, as compared with last week. and of almest 14,00 as compared with two weeks ago. As ccmpared with a year ago, there is nn increase in the receipts for the week amounting to 15,600 head. In spite of the very iarge runs, the market has been in_satisfactory condition. During the first half cf the week prices were a little easier, but during the last three days there was a_ sharp movement upward, which leaves the market today 10@12gc higher than it was at the close of last week No..

At times supplies appeared to create a demand that savored of urgency. Sheep and lamb valueg on this market are now only 109 15c below Chicago, and it Is generally con- ceded that this level 18 too high.
