McADIE, Forecast Official. s LD e * -8 EASTERN MARKETS. fl"- * New York Stock Market. b, YORK, April 21.—This was another day very active and varied speculation in stocks, but campaign for the advance re- ceived a rather severe check. The day started off with indications of & repetition of the suc- cusetul tactice adopted last week, of heavy ome new points to offset realizing 50 happened, however, that the h realizing was attempted— the Western and Pacific stocks—were namely acutely depressed by the threat of harm to the crops and by the leave granted to the State f Washington to file a suit in the United States Supreme Court againet the Northern Securities Company. The leaders of the campaign for the advance recovered their po- sition to some extent late in the day by a vigorous buying movement in Southwrn Py cific up to 9%, and in Reading and Manhat- which were lifted, respectively, 4% and % over Saturday. This jnduced a general overing movement in the whole market and ctarted substantial rallies, which materially reduced the losse, erally below Saturday. The setback came in the face of promising auspices for the ad- vance. The Louisville incident seemed to have convinced some of the large Bastern bank- ing interests that the time was ripe for an advance, although they Geprecate the movement inaugurated by West- ern capitalists ae premature, on account of the unformed prospects for the crop. The steamship merger was accepted as additional indication of the confidence of large capital in continued prosperous conditions. The resuits of the day's operations in the market showed the importance of the outcome of the crop situation. The reports of hot winds in the winter wheat belt 4id mot seem to affect the grain market, perhaps owing to the large long interest in the merket, but the simpie recital of the temperatures touched at points in Ne- brasks, Missouri and Kansas was sufficient to cause 2 reflection of anxiety in the stocks of ihe roads running through that region. THe weekly statistics of railroad traffic reporting | & decline in the merchandise movement to ihe Southwest was regarced as corroboration of the threat of harm to the crops. Scattered reports of showers may have had something 1o 4o with the late rally in the market. The Jeave granted to the State of Washington to file suit against the Northern Securities Com- pany is what was refused to the State of Minnesota in the previous attempt. The ques- tion of the legality of the company is now felt to be started toward a judicial decision, There is enough doubt over tiie outcome of the sult to serve as an unsettiing influence, the more s0 in view of the additional projects now known to be on foot and dependent upon the settlement of this questica. An incident of the day was the demoraliza- tion in the silver market, which carried siiver bullion to B0%e an ounce, compared with the previous low record of 51%c on September 1, 1897, when Japan adopted the gold standard. The siump s said to be due to selling by China as a necessary incident to the payment of the indemnity Lo the powers. The market closod active and about steady. The heavy selling of Union Pacific convert- ible bonds was the feature of the bond mar- - — tal sales, £6,585,000. tes bunds were all unchanged on NEW YORK STOCK LIST. - Low. Close. Atchison ..

NEW YORK, April 21.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The stock market was inactive to-day and the tone was confident on the prospects for peace, which {8 regarded ag a foregone conglu- sion. The mew consol issue opened weak on realizing by those who have obtained their al- lotments. The premium fell to 134, then rose to 15 and closed at 1%. The old issue was finally unchanged at 94%. American stocks were very lively, but dealers on this side were cautious. They were hanging | on to the coattails of New York, ready to drop off at any sign of danger. The relapses were as_follows: Union Pacific from 112 to 1083, Atchison | from 86 to 8314 and St. Paul from 177% to | 17 Reading issues, on the other hand, were notably steady, being absorbed all day, and closing at the fop. The close was irreg- ular. Money rates were strong on the consols’ ap- plication. The returns were mopped out by the debt to the Bank of England. The market repaid £4,000,000 of the £5,000,000 due that institution. Gold to' the amount of £22,000 in bars has Dbeen bought and £40,000 has been received from Holland. Siver slumped %d to 28 5-16d per ounce, the lowest on record in the history of the metal, the previous record being 23%d per ounce in September, 1897. The present fall is due less { to a selling movement than to a complete ab- sence of a demand. India has been merely looking on, and China, instead of buying, as usual, this season is selling freely to provide for the gold war indemnity. The bottom seems touched provided speculative buying gives an impetus. Financial agents in London explain that the fall in the price of silver to the lowest point on record to-day was caused by the fact that China, instead of buying silver, as usual at this | time of the year, is selling, in order to pay the war indemnity in gold. It is generally believed that the fall in the price of silver would not have occurred had London supported the mar- ket This, coupled with the fact that the United States is selling, caused the decline, | which is now belleved to have reached the minimum price.

At the opening there was a rush toward the weather map and when, only | & few scanty showers were shown to have fall- en since Saturday there was an opening bull- | ish spurt. Considering the fact that the en- tire wheat belt was dry—even drier than be | fore—the early trade was tame. May opened H@%c higher at T6@74%c. Then came pra- dictions that the hot and unseasonable blasts in the West would have some small relief by showers, and selling set in. Gosstp had it also that the Wall-street crowd was selling heavily in order to keep prices down and cre- ate an impression on the stock exchange that the wheat crop was in no danger. May slid off to T44@idlc before the decrease " of 2,370,000 bushels in the visible supply came to the rellef of the bulls and started covering. Weather reports were conflicting and kept the talent guessinz. Late in the day May had a rally and closed steady, a shade up, at T4%@ Td¥e. Z‘or'l trade was small and had no prominent features. The market was inclined to follow ‘wheat until near the close, when the market tumned heavy. May close’ %@%c lower at 617%¢c. There was a fair-sized flurry in oats early. Near the close thcre was a rush to unload and May closed easy, }4c down, at 42%ec. Provisions suffered a further decline amdl closed weaker than for many ‘days. Large hog receints, lower prices at the yards amnd selling by packers and scalpers were the bear- ish facters. May vork closed 17%c lower, lard 10c lower and rits 15c lower.

Exchange and Bullion. Silver dropped sharply to 50%c, sald to be the lowest record point for this metal. The previously lowest quotation was 51}c in Sep- tember, 1897. The London price yesterday was 23 15-16d, against a lowest record quotation of 23%d in September, 1897. The causes of the present drop are dull times in India, the very small French and Russlan demand, the ‘un- scttled condition of the Chinese market and the discontinuance of the Spanish purchases for coinage, while the large production all over the world 15 going along Jjust the same. Exchange remains undisturbed. Sterling Exchange, 60 day: Sterling Cables, sight Sterling Cables .. New York Exchange, sight.....

The English visible supply decreased 1,820,000 bushels and the American decreased 2,382,000. Chicago bobbed about a good deal and was nervous and unsettled on predicted rain. There were light showers In the Ohlo Valley and Iilinots, but none anywhere else. All over the Southwest the weather was cloudy, with tem- peratures ranging from 90 to 100 degrees, with bigh winds, The trade was inclined to awalt the result of the extenslve area of low barom- eter covering the whole West. The undertone was firm on fresh reports of serious damage in the Southwest and considerable export business in hard winter and Duluth spring. Kansas re- jterated its previous assertions that it would not ralse over half a crop. The Southwest were good sellers, however. In this market futures were slightly lower, but spot quotations remained unchanged. wal 5255888 FFRR Grains. Spot _Wheat — Shipping, $1 11%; milling, $1 12%@1 15 per ctl.

Green were in Light supply and met with ready sale, Nevadas were cleaned up. Prices of new Vegatables stood about same. Offerings were liberal, but the local de- mand was good and there was considerable in- quiry for shipment on the northern steamer.

The third car was made up for the East, but it was thought to be the last for this account, as the New York market made a further decline of 3c. The local demand is not sufficient to have absorbed the current heavy receipts, and the recent shipments East have helped things out materially, Portland continues to undersell this market on the Sound, hence shipments to that outle are steadily Talling off.
