NEW YORK’;’VK'O(VIVKV MARKET. NEW YORK, April 12.—There was a wild rush to buy at the opening, and the speclalties made large galns, part of which they retained, while the raflways, which had improved smart- ly, left off at about yusterday's figures. The rise of Americans in London before the open- ing and the momentum of yesterday was re- sponsible for the early excitement in the mar- ket. Call money ranged from 4 to 5, closing at the lower figure, and sterling exchange was strong throughout, demand sterling rising %, | The rapidity of the early advance induced heavy reallzations, but a general tone of strength’ prevailed until the afternoon, when gome sharp recessjons occurred. The Killing of American d 'English navy officers in Samoa seemed to arouse apprehension In some quarters of further complications. Among the gpecialties strong features were Brooklyn Transit, Consolidated Gas, People's Gas, Sugar and the iron and_steel shares. Baitl more and Ohlo issues, Norfolk and Western referred and Northern Pacific were strong. Forefgn houses were early purchasers but re- gold about half as much on the local rise. Bome of the forelgn purchases were connected with Londo fortnightly _settlement. A number of shorts were driven to cover early, owing to the commission house demand, es pecially for industrials, because of a more lib- eral position takeh by a number of banks toward such stocks. The market closed steady. There was more activity in rallroad bonds to- day, and while a few issues were shaded, the ‘general average slightly better on the Total sales, $3,750,000.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. CHICAGO, April 12.—Reports of crop condi- tions were the chief considerations again with wheat speculators at the opening, and those being of unvarying tone of badness the mar- ket opened strong. Recelpts here and in the Northwest were small, Chicago getting only thirty-five cars, of which two were graded con- tract, and Minneapolis and Duluth 188 cars, compared with 142 a year ago. The Missouri Weather Bureau report of wheat conditions in that State sald many correspondents reported half the wheat killed, and the Iowa State re- port claimed late sown wheat was about all dead and early sown serfously damaged. Private reports were almost unanimously of a most discouraging character with regard to the injury done. Those were not repetitions of previous reports, but from fresh sources. May opened %@Yc higher at TI%@T1%e, and dur- ing the first two hours rose to 72%c. At that point, however, realizing commenced and forced the price back again to T1%@71%c. Damage claims again became popular, how- ever, and were given the most consideration. There were several ups and downs as the ses- ston progressed, with trade very light. On one of the downward reactions about forty minutes from the close some heavy shorts at- tempted to cover. Immediately the price shot up a%;’;; touching 72%c, closing with sellers at c. There were a number of considerations In corn and the market ruled firm. May closed i4c_higher. ‘There was little doing in the oats market and outside of an occasional spurt with wheat it was very slow. May oats closed %c higher. Provisions were very heavy.

Reports from the coming crop are coming in every day now, and while it s too early for any definite statement it may be said that from indications up to date Peaches will be the only heavy crop, Apricots will be slim, Pears are not showing up well on the river and Cherries and Prunes are dropping more or less, owing to the dryness of the ground last year. This is the state of the crop at present, but it is liable to change any day. Receipts were 22 boxes Cherries and 37 chests Strawberries.

Total holdings | on the coast will scarcely exceed 200 cars, and | one firm is said to control the bulk of them. The same condition exists here, consequently advances are expected on all sizes and quali- ties. At present demand appears to be re- etricted, though there is strong inquiry, and some out-of-towp dealers are seeking supplies to carry them ver the spring activity before there is another advance.
