NEW YORK, April 17.—Southern Railway fell comparatively into the background to-day, taking & place well down in the list of mctive stocks. The stock was under pressure of real- izing ell day, although it made some recovery witer the official statement late in the day of the absolute control exercised over Lousville and Nashville by J. P. Morgan. The somewhat equivocal terms in which the Information has been given to the public regarding the -me- ment of the Louleville dispute and the atbhl'-h disclatmer by Southern Raflway offictals of luterest on the part of that road ih the settic ment had left room for all sorts of rumors of possible further complications which it was thought desirable, apparently, to check. Louis- ville and Nashville stock also rallied strongly 1o 2% over last night after the statement bad appeared. As & omatter of fact, ex- treme animation and a broadening show of strength were the features of the market, bear- ing every resemblance to r!\'infll great bull markets. The irregularity due to active profit- Taking going on side by side with new bu was also in evidence, the diversion o speculative profits from one group of stocks to another. The coalers were the most co ously strong stock to-day, led by which was dealt in on an enormous scale even after allowing for the reckoning in half shares or the par value of $50. Reports were circu- lated that a secret agreement had been reachet averting the possibility of s strike. Heavy buying orders for the Ralhn end Eries came from London and the & sion was conveyed that these were dué to Mr. Morgan's presence there. The coulers il su- fered from profit-taking toward the last, and the leadership of the marke: Atchison, which rose suddenly to 84, followed by Colorago Fuel and Louisville, The tion of the buying of Atchison was not forth- coming. but the stock has not shared fn the recent advances among the grangerd and South- et i e A e what affected by Tealizing to-day. * Intertwined with thess domy nant movements Were Many _Cross-currents among minor stocks, eome declining. but all to some individual causes or to Sperations epeculative pools.

Interest centers in the new consol It is understood that the issue has been applied for twen! times over. Amerfcan stocks were brisk and cheerful. Southern Railway and Louisville and Nash- ville were flat and the interest shifted to the coalers, with Erie, Ontario and Western and Reading strony. 'New York sold the last- named stock at the opening and then turned and bought. In the street the close was buoy ant, notably Atchison and United States Steel. Canadian Pacific was very strong.

G. Dun & Co.. the outlook Is encouraging for a large yield of winter wheat. At most points the acreage is equal to or larger than last year and even in the few re- ports of a decreased area the loss is put at only 10 per cent, while the most hopeful state- ments make the increase 50 per cent. On the whole there appears to have been little loss during the winter from weather conditions, although at few points the snow protection ee NEht 'Damage by inseots is aiso Jose serious than a year ago. The least satl Teature thus far is the lack of moisture, which i€ causinz anxiety in a number of Statee. With average weather during the rest of the season, however, there is every reason to an- ticipate a yleld above the average and prob- ably fully equal to last year's crop, The lib- eral demand and good prices of the previous | season would naturally tend to stimulate and 8 revorts of large acreage were to be ex- pected but estimates of condition are more sanguine than the Government report on Aptil 1, which may be due to favorable weather dur- ing the last few weeks. #* New York Grain and Produce. #- | NEW YORK, April 17.—FLOUR—Receipts, 7 barrels; exports, 1204.

There were more sellers than buyers at the advance. The demand was active and offerings were quickly absorbed. The recent selling on the rains turned to buying, as the rains, which were general, turned out to'be light and scattering showers and the country Is found to be altogether too dry for the good of the erop. The decline was caused by St. Louis selling freely on both long and short account. The Southwest_bulls also dumpea a lot of long. Wheat.
