NEW YORK, April 21.—Thers was an up- | ward movement of prices to-day. led by the Gould group and Baltimore and Ohio. As other | parts of the list came into the movement 2 dis- | position became manifest to take profits in the early leaders, which led to a moderate reaction all through the list, and the cloaing w and dull. The movement was attributed large- Iy to professional operations, and commission houses continued to complain of the light vol- ume of their orders. It was plain, however, that & speculative party had been organized to advance the market, and they made their oper- ations effective to-day. Their campalgn seems based on general conditions. They had the ad- vantage to-day of the cheering influence upon sentiment exercised by the modification of the decree against the Northern Securitles Company #0 far as it referred to the enjoining of the pay- ment of dividends. The Great Northern divi- dend came off that stock this morning and the assembling of the Northern Pacific directors during the session of the Stock Exchange gave assurance that that dividend aiso would be promptly distributed. Speculative operations were especially marked in the Gould group, led by Wabash preferred, and especial stress wae leid upon the April report of the Kansas State Board of Agricuiture confirming the very favor- able Government report as to the condition of winter wheat. The advance in Sugar was on account of the rise in prices of the refined prod- uct. Southern Pacific was lifted 2 points late in the day on an unconfirmed rumor that a set- tiement had been effected between the Harri- man and Keene interests. Some early heavi- ness in Amalgamated Copper was accounted for by the iliness of the president of the company, but the stock recovered. Colorado Fuel was wealk without explanation. Reading lagged in the advance on account of the opening of the Interstate Commerce hearing of the charge of | suppression of competition by the coal combine, | but this stock also became strong. An unusual- iy large number of industrial stocks were ad- vanced from 1 to 2 points, and Westinghouse | rose 6 and the preferred 8. The professional | contingent among the traders lald some stress upon to-morrow’s entry into the new axchange | quarters as proper sentimental ground for ad- vancing prices. During the last hour trading was considerably neglécted on account of diver- sions indulged In by the brokers as an incident to the closing of business in their temporary quarters on the Produce Exchange floor. Money continued to work easler, with every prospect of additional relaxation, and the recent upward course of exchange was also checked to- day. Prices of bonds moved upward in sympath; with stocks and on a fairly weil distributed d mand. Total sales (par value), $3,110,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. This was the last day on which the Stock Exchange transacted business on the Produce Exchange, where they have had quariers during the construction of thelr new buflding. To- morrow they will move into the new building, but no business will be transacted, the day be- ing given over to the dedication ceremonies. NEW YORK STOCK LIST. easy | | | Atchison ..

May opened a shade to %@ higher at 7815@78%c, and the early tone was one of firmness on the action of the Armours, who were.reported to have taken 220,000 bush- els of No. 1 Northern yesterday for shipment | ver, 28 7-16d; French rentes, 98f 40c; wheat large and dealers quote the market none and on the suspicion that a large part of the small stock in store was to be shipped out. ‘There seemed to be liftle doubt that the lead- ingelong bad complete control of the situation van e prices of May to Toke. Butmw.numw‘:.‘m ' signs of selling on the part of the leader the | Closing more favorable, and, with the Liverpool cable practically unchanged, a change in sentiment developed, and buying orders e quite scarce. The stampede began when the operator for the Armours began to sell, and at the first entire pit became flooded with selling orders -nf the price of May dropped to_75%c, while July slumped off in sympathy to 7114¢. When the selling was at its helght commission-house it operators received more stop-loss orders han they could execute, the price dropping so suddenly that they were unable to clear them- selves until the prices had declined one or two cents below the price at which they had been ordered to sell. The confusion was o great that at one time trading was xoing on in May in different parts of the pit at 751,@77i¢. When the leader realized the effects of his efforts to dispose of his holdings an effort was made to support the market, and as a result rices advanced again as rapidly as they had Sectined; May advancing to 77c two minutes after it had touched the lowest point, The last hour of the session was comparatively quiet and quite steady. After selling up to 78c May closed 12@%¢ lower at T7%c and July wn,,zd’f:wn H@¥Hc at T2R@T2%e, after rallying to c. Corn ruled dull and featureless and in spite of the weakness in wheat the market held eteady. The close was steady, with May lyc lower at 44c. - Oats were active, with prices unsettled.

Prices were lower and only a small por- tion of the offerings brought the top rates. Most of the Berries were green or otherwise in Poor condition, hence the lower prices. Trading in Oranges had less snap than on the preceding day, as most of the local dealers had bought freely’ ther and were still well sup- plied.

It is reported that in a number of districts in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys almonds have been badly damaged by cold and wet weather, and that in these sections there will be but a quarter or half crop. The re- port, howe has not been fully verified. A cable to a local house from Bordeaux, France, says that the Prune crop in several sections in France has been badly damaged by freezing weather, and will be a total failura. The affected area is so extensive that the French Prune crop this year may fall even be- low that of last year, when only 10 per cent of a crop was produced. The Bosnian_and Servian crops are also badly damaged. Press dispatches from Paris several days ago said that the cold was so intense that not only did the young fruit freeze on the trees, but that | the branches themselves were frozen. The damage in France has evidently been severe.
