A good deal of long wheat was sold between that and 8Sc that rather over- loaded the capacity of the market, and just then New York flung a bomb Into the pit in the shape of a dispatch giving a rumor cur- rent there to the effect that the Rothschilds had refused to advance more money to Spain and consequently that Spain would be un- able to go to war. The market had a sudden collapse of 1c a bushel on that. running down in ten minutes from $3%c to $Skc, and then after a short fight around the latter figures It had a fresh tumble to ST4/@ST%c. and was bringing S$T%c at the close. May sold between $110a1 11, closing at $1 10%. Corn was helped by export sales of over a million bushels. Shorts bought freely, but the collapse in wheat depressed corn and most of the advance was lost. July closed a shade higher than vesterda: Oats were firm early on the advances abroad and in sympathy with wheat. The advance was lost near the close. July closed Yc lower. Provisions were strong throughout on war prospects. The trade was largely professional, although some outside buying was noted. Pro- fessional shorts were liberal buyers, and pack- ers gave up their attempts to check the rise. July pork closed with a net gain of 62%c. July lard and ribs gained 12tc each.

FASTERN MARKETS, NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK, April 20.—The New York stock | market offered a firm resistance ail day to the @epression which was reflected upon it from | every other exchange in the world, its declines &t no time reaching more than a fraction overa | point for active stocks. In the final hour, after | trading on the forefgn hourses had been sus- pended for the da lively movement to buy developed on the New York Exchange, which wiped out practically all the earlier losses and 1ifted the level of prices sharply wbove that of.| last night. The final recovery was brought about by the dissemination of & rumor that the period allowed Spain for a reply to the ultima- | tum had been extended to Monday, with a chence of a settlement being effected before that time. There were some evidences of ma- nipulation for the purpose of making last prices show striking gains. For instance, Burlington #0ld at 50%, and on the last sale jumped to $1%. A broad view of the financlal world shows that New York was less affected by the crisis than any other financial center. At no time were prices depressed to the London par- ity. As a consequence there was large arbi- trage selling here of international stocks, New York prices showing a fair profit over London uotations. The depression in London and on “ontinental bourses was more due to the panic in Spanish fours than to any other one cause. These securities fell 1% in London and 3% in | Paris on forced liquidation, due to financial | difficulties in France and Spain. Whatever de- | pression there was on the New York Exchange seemed to be due to sympathy with the d pr n in forelgn markets. New York ab- &0 the offerings of its own securities for foreign account at prices above those prevall. ing abroad, and there was no heavy liquida- tion for local account. It is to be observed that American securities have held falrly steady as compared with the marked weakness | of Spanish securities. It is also to be observed | that weakness In foreign markets is due In | part to the dearness of money, and this in | turn ie caused by pressure for gold_to reinforce | the American money market. The United States | is still a heavy creditor to, the world, and the continued withdrawing of* these credits, while | ecrving to fortify the financial fabric at hom is a factor in the weakness of forelgn mar- kets. Doubtles a part of the selling in New | York for forelgn account is due to an effort to equalize exchange conditions. That these of ferings should be so well absorbed Js a demo; stration of the sound financial conditions exis ing in thls country. Evidence to the same ef- fect i3 given in the case of call money, which | loaned to-day at 2 per cent. although time | money continues to be firmly held at 6 per cent. It is still further significant of the same conli- tion that the stringency of money abroad €hould have resulted in declines in_the Britisn !nd French Government bonds, while pited Btates fours of 1925 showed a gain to-day Df 1l Jer cont for the registered and 1% per camt for | he coupons. Considering the contrast in money market cond'ticurs between New York.and B Topean centers, it is not strange tnat the day’ eugugcriuts Of gold for import were very Do Currency 9 Line 6s tr. us Atchison 48 . % |0 S Line &s tr 7 Do adj 4s ...... 57%|0 Imp lsts tr.... 105 Can So 2ds ... 104 | Do o8 tr .. 53 Chi Term 4s .... $0%|Reading 4s 9% C & Ohlo 5s. . 13% /R G W 1sts. 80 CH&D44s.... 145(S L & I M C 8s.. 8% D&RGIsts.... 108 |SL&SF G 6s.. 114 D &RG s s lst P Con .. 9 | East Tenn 1 St P C & P 1= Crie Gen 45 Do s F W & D 1sts {So Ry 58 . sen Electric [Stand R & 3.

NEW YORK, April 20.—Tne Evening Post's | London financial cablegram say: The feature in the stock markets here to-day was the flat- ness In foreign stocks, the Paris Bourse being utterly demorulized by the continued fall in| Spanish 4's, which closed at the lowest, 34. The weakness In consols caused the notion of | a rize of Bank of England rate to-morrow, and in this belief discount houses drained to work and all such business was done at the bank itself, which had the effect of making loan rates easier. Americans were almost unsalable, but there was no great pressure to sell, and a bear posi- tion, at least in St. Paul and Loulsville, now undoubtedly exists. The manner in which New | York absorbs the stocks i{s much marveled at. ‘ The markets here are now thoroughly close. reefed and prepared for war, but the Parls | Bourse will feel the blow severely. As In- stancing how the market here is now looking | ahead, it is common talk that war means the | final defeat of the sliver party in the United | States. Argentines were flat. Uneasiness was felt | by some over a telegram received by some large banks and firms assoclated with Argen- tina from General Roquoa, urging the impor- tance of thefr joining in subscriptions to the “internal” loan which was announced in these dispatches on Monday last. The telegram ad- vocating this loan says that it is required for urgent indispensable expenses, and 'which will form the best guarantee of peace.’” The Paris Bourse {s borderinz on a panic, and heavy realizations on tintos and every- thing salable.

The war news from Washington gave shorts a further scare, and first trades in July | here were made at $3%@SS%c, an advance of 1%@1%c. September was also remarkably strong. Profit-taking caused a brief reaction, during which July touched $8%c, but the market arain stiffened and rose steadily to 89%c. Heavy selling against “calls” stopped the advance and the market quieted down. The announcement of the actual signing of the Cuban resolutions dld not affect the course of prices, quotations remaining about stationary for mome time. The strength of the English markets continued to be the chief influence, Leiter reported free acceptances of cable offers. One carzo was sold to London at $126 per bushel, an advance of over yesterday's prices.” Domestic crop news of a reassuring nature and heavy receipts had little effect.

The asking coal freights from Newcastle have been marked up to 16s several engagements were recently made at 165 per ton. As the demand for steamers and sailers for the Alaska trade is slackening off, it is very probable that a number of these will drift back into the coast coal trade, so that the anticipated scarcity of coal tonnage later on will not be realized. ““There is no perceptible change of values for a month past, as the requirements of the market are fully supplied from Washington and British Columbia, and freight rates from there have returned to their normal condition.
