NEW YORK, April 14.—There was a feverish £nd exeited close in to-day’s stock market after & day of varying sentiment. The early strength was Dot maintained, in spite of wide advances in & few stocks, and the course was graduaily ard under the late dealings, when there | 150 a general break all around. Prices had | B & fier the sageing tendency under | Do {mulug of the extraordinary advances tn | Do some of the grangers and northwesterns, But | Can Bou s, ihe perception of realizing under cover of this | Cnt of Ga Ss. strength and the sensational advance to 133 | D0 lst inc isville and Nashville unsettled senti- * again and led to the general unloading the final dealinge. There were some fever- and spasmodic rallies, but the market closed feverish and irregular with a weak un- @ertone. Much attention and surmise were the Loulsville and Nashville situa- the disposition to be made of its con- tro ch is mow without dissent understood to have escaped its long-time holdere. bope is entertained that a community of in- terest among the Southern trunk lines will be worked out as & result of the mew comtrol, which seems to have been acquired withoui large rafiroad policy in view, but ‘simply for speculative profits. It is patent that great financial and railroad interests are now striving to readjust the situation from the standpoint of railroad policy, which necessitates a settle- definite prospect of settiement, the fever- ight of the stock Indicating rather pro- found unsettiement and speculative mind. The remarkable rise in Northwestern grangers was without explana- tion, unless it was the result of pure manipu- lation o further profit-taking at other points. The Chicago and Paul and Omaha and the St. Paul stocks were marked up in & short period of trading from | 3as 1sts .. 2% to 13 points. St. Paul relapsed as sud- @eniy to below Saturday and fluctuated at the | N E Gas & Coke. . 56 The | as a | Atchison last almost as wildly as Loulsville itself. money market was appreciably lower, result of the stronger condition of the banks as revesled by Saturday’s statement. exte which outstanding credits are iBg on in factory to the copservative minds and was the | Fitchburg pfd subject of much comment and some criticism to-da; orts of rain in the winter wheat beit were predictive of some buying of stocks | &nd reporis were received of a heavy mer- changise movement on western railroads in #pite of the sh-unken proportions of the grain movemen he February statemeni of Mis- souri Pacific did not serve to corroborate this view. The pesce rumors from London helped the early strength in the market, although the buying from that source seemed to be in the nature of reinvestment of the proceeds of Loulevilie and Nashville stock sold. The bud- get statement came t0o late for digestion and influence on this market The bond market was unsettied and irregu- lar. Total sales, $5,955,000.

At the start there was an Inclination to sell stuff because of the easy feeling in Wwheat. It took only a few spurts of the St. Louis market, however, to create a strong de- mand by the unfortunate early sellers, The raturally bullish situation in the corn trade, with continued reports of depletions of stocks at all prominent centers and an improving de- mand, scared the shorts badly. Thé rumor that was started in March of a possible corner was renewed again and a hot start resulted. Great buying force was under the cereal and prices rushed up 2c almost before the market was well under way. May opened i4c higher to 3c lower at 61%c to 61%c and jumped to 65%c. This was an advance of about 66 over the low price on the decline of a week or ten days ago and of almost 4c since Saturday morning. St. Louls was buying here, sup- posedly to finish the covering of the big short line begun Baturday. Offerings were not Everybody in the pit was nervous. Trade was guesswork all around. After the early excitement there was considerable selling by people who thought corn had all the twist needed for the present. Business quieted down and as wheat reacted from its-sympathetic higher prices corn eased. Liquidation at top prices brought gaod profits, There was a good demand for the cash article, which, together with strong cables, helped in |, putting a bullish inter) of news. Traders in al the remarkable outlook manipulation in corn. Fnuuon on every bit 1 Pits were talking of or speculation and News continues to ar- rive of farmers feeding corn to stock because the advenced prices in cattle and hogs make g00d profits. May corn at Southwestern mar- kets is lc to 1%c over Chicago pric country, traders say, must have Chicago corn —and there is little of that. After high prices May corn sold off to 61%c, but rallied aj and closed strong, %c¢ up, at 62%ec. g Wheat started out with a sickly aspect on unresponsive cables and rains in the South- western wheat country. May opened ¢ to e lower at 72%c to 7dc, but at once feft the influence of the soaring corn market. In a very short time covering and an investment demand sent May to 73%c. As cgrn began its decline after the opening bulge ‘wheat eased off. Then a big line was sold for a leading bull professional and as the ‘“‘tailers” filed in to sell the market slumped off below Satur- day’s close. The Southwest sold here and those markets were lower. Commission houses were on both sides of the market, but princi- pally sold. Liquidation for profits was very pular. The visible decrease of 1,800,000 ushels was a little more than expected, but no effect. Trade was active. May closed weak at its lowest price, %c pff, at 72%e.
