NEW YORK, April 5.—Money near the close of the stock market to-day reached 16 per cent for call loans. Then J. W. Seligman & Co. supplied the demand and offered money down to 6 per cent. The exceptional demand was due to the early rise of $8,000,000 due on ac- count of the American Smerting and Refining Company’s subscriptions. THE LONDON MARKET. NEW YORK, April 5.—The Commercial Ad- vertisers London financial cablegram says: The markets here were idle and were expected to continue slack all week.

CHICAGO, April 5—The filling of buying orders which were sent in on account of the weakness on the curb yesterday, together with | better cables abroad, gave wheat a fairly good | start. The Ohlon State crop report, however, | knocked the bull feeling out of the crowd. The report showed a condition of 85 compared with 80 the year before and with 2 per cent of last year's crop still in farmers' hands. Ma opened Yc higher at T24@7%c, sold sparing at 72%c, then declined quickly to T0%c. Liqu dation was heavy on the way down, and a re- covery did not set in until a general exchange | of erop news from country correspondents | among commission men established the uni- versality of crop damage of a serious character in all Western winter States outside of Ohfo. As the session neared the end these crop dam- age complaints became sensational and were backed up by heavy buying orders from the country. Shorts became nervous, and when an attempt was made to cover offerings were found | to be very scarce. The competition became so | great for what little was for sale that May, hesitating at 7lic, jumped quickly to T3%e and closed at 7. The fluctuations in July | were almost {dentical to that of May, and both months kept closely in unison May' still kept | changes to July could be made on éven terms | there was a disposition evinced by longs to | 3 | transfer trades to the more deferred future Liquidation of long property depressed corn early.
