The heavy liguidation and & violent break in prices In this morning’s grain markets sent prices of the grangers upward with a rush, Union Pa- cific leading with an extreme advance of 2 The movement spent its force when it was seen that good buying had developed in the graln market at the decline and that prices were railying there from the slump caused by reports of last night's rains.

This movement seemed designed to check the de- cline elsewhere in the market and when it was_seen to be without effect the Southern stock reacted. There was some bidding up of the grangers again at the close, which was active and steady. There was large buying of the United States Steel during the morning by ‘brokers usually employed by the syndicate. Thiz buying seemed to be in conmection with the issue of the bond-iasue circular. The stocks reacted and became dull with the rest of the market. The circular disclosed that $35,000,- 000 of the proceeds of the bond issue is de- signed to capltalize expenditures already made for improvements and for properties purchased. The executive committee estlmated that the expenditure of 825,000,000 for praposed Improve ments will add from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 to the yearly profits.

Bradstreet’s on Trade. * NEW _YORK, April 25.—Bradstreet’s. to- morrow will say: Despite marked irregularities in weather con- aitions. and extreme temperatures, accompa- nied by deterioration in the winter wheat crop of the Southwest, general business and specu- lation have been of a very-full volume for this season of the year. Talk of crop damage put a-check upon demand in the Central West and Southwest and wholesale trade reports from these sections are not good, as earlier looked a year ago. In the Northwest snow and rains checked retail trade and distribution, but the general effect has been to rather improve the ultimate crop and business outlook than other- wise. Some notable movements have occurred this week, and taken as a whole the number has been very large. The cereals, and, to a lesser degree, hog products generally ‘responded promptly to the Southwestern wheat damage reports, which, coupléd with véry heavy decreases in the vis- ible supplies, particularly in. Manitoba' and the Northwest, resuited in the highest prices of the crop season belng reached for cash wheat. Corn, too, almost broke the. season record. Crop reports indicate beyond doubt {hat the Kansas wheat crop has drouth and hot winds.
