COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL NEWS
Wheat and "wool are not moving very
actively at the present time, although
there is considerable amount of the for
mer, and a record-breaking amount of
the latter for sale if prices reacru the
ideJ3 of holders. The salmon season is
now 10 days old, but the catch has hardly
"been up to expectations, although there
Is so much gear in the -water, and so
many engaged In the business, that the
output In the aggregate Is of consider
able proportions, and, as prices are much
better than In some of the past seasons,
the Industry Is placing In circulation a.
large amount of money.
The mohair clip Is moving out at a
much more rapid rate than it did last
year, when prices werematerlally higher.
Oats are selling at the highest prices
of the season, with a prospect for the
bins to be pretty well scraped before an
other crop is available. Barley Is also
very Arm, with an upward tendency.
Potatoes hav,e taken an upward spurt
and are selling at the best prices of the
season. The butter market is very soft
and prices are approaching bedrock.tEggs
are firm and poultry is weaker under
heavy receipts and a light demand. Veal
and pork are firm at full prices. Gro
ceries are firm, with a good business
reported.
"Wheat There has been decided strength
In the American wheat market for the
past two days and the European market
has followed to a certain extent. Dam
age or alleged damage to the American
crop is the principal cause of the
strength, and according to reports the
California crop Is In a serious condition
in 'some sections, and unless there is
rain very soon, will result in a much
stronger market than that of yesterday.
Iiocally there Is not much wheat selling,
and that which, is "dribbling" out is
changing hands at pretty mil values.
As high as 59 cents was paid for Walla
Walla yesterday, and there were the
usual reports that even higher limits
were out in the Interior. Despite these
prices, some of the exporters, are still
rustling for ships, and everything that
comes along is taken up at pretty fair
rates, considering the rates paid in other
ports. There is considerable farm work
still under way, and this has a tendency
to retard any activity in wheat In the
Interior, although a continuation of "yes
terday's market would probably result
In bringing out more liberal offerings.
The freight situation continues very
perplexing, and as a result there are but
few ships being taken, exporters fearing
the advent of steamers, and refusing to
pay the price demanded for sailers. One
or two have been taken up during the
past week at rates slightly under those
which prevailed at the opening of the
'season for new crop chartering, but for
ear-by tonnage there seems to be a
rather firm market, SSs 3d being paid for
a ship for May loading on Monday. The
Cincinnati Price Current, reviewing crop
conditions throughout the territory of
the Rockies for the week ending last Sat
urday, says:
The Winter wheat crop Is holding xtp
Its previous very favorable condition.
The temperature over moat of the area
has been too cool and cloudy for rapid
growth, and there has really not been
much change In the situation during the
past week. The Hessian fly has not made
much Impression; wet weather is unfa
vorable for fly development. However,
the wheat louse appears to be spreading
la Northern TeStas antTarts of Okla
homa. According to a statement of a
Government entomologist this Insect
thrives In wet -weather. In a general way
it may be 6ald that adverse reports re
garding the wheat outlook are the ex
ception. A week or two of warm, sun
shiny weather would brobably determine
definitely the outlook of the crop In re
gard to injury by insects.
Oats seeding has made some progress
during the week, though it Is stll back
ward, especially in the principal oats re
gion west of the Mississippi River. It
Is probable that the acreage will be mod
erately less than last year, when It
amounted to 27,363,000 acres. Corn plant
ing has advanced as far north as Ohio
and Southern Missouri; where it is al
ready up the stand is not very good.
Last year the corn acreage was excep
tionally large, 83,321,000 acres, and It Is
not likely that the acreage this year will
fall short much If any below last year.
The Interior movement of grain shows
no particular change, being apparently
about the same as last week. Wheat Is
moving moderately and corn compara
tively slowly, the holding sentiment con
tinuing firm, as the feeding value of corn
remains above the shipping basis.
Oats and Barley Both of these cereals
continue to show considerable strength.
and prices are steadily advancing. Best
white oats are selling up to $1 35 per cen
tal, and gray sell around $1 25 and $1 30
per cental. Receipts arc very light, and
stocks have been pretty well cleaned up
in the country. Feed barley has advanced
to $17 50 per ton, and Is steady at that
figure for the best stock. Brewing Is nom
inally the same figure, with but little de-
mand for brewing" purposes.
Potatoes Best Burbanks have shown
quite an advance within the past week,
and sales of choice upland stock have
been made as high as 80 and 85 cents.
The bulk of the receipts, however, sell
for less money, the ruling figures being
around G5 and 75 cents per sack. The
demand from California is quite heavy.
Butter The butter market is becom
ing very soft, and stocks are accumulat
ing in spite of the decline in prices. Best
creamery does not move any too "freely
at 17 cents, and dairy sells down as low
as 12 cents, with store plentiful at 1011
cents per pound. There is but little out
side demand for butter at this time, and
as it has not yet commenced going into
storage, the market Is in bad condition.
Eggs Receipts are smaller this week,
and there Is a firmer feeling, but sales
are still being made at 14 cents per dozen.
There is very little outside demand and
the local demand takes up all that are
offering.
Poultry Old chickens are much weak
er, and ?4 50 per dozen is an outside fig
ure for them, with the bulk of the sales
made at 50 cents to ?1 per dozen less.
Springs are a little better, and rl2ge, well
conditioned birds will bring $5 per dozen.
Geese and ducks are In poor demand ex
cept for young stock, which sells fairly
well at quotations. Turkeys are nominal,
with very light demand.

XEW YORK STOCK MARKETS.
Speculation Wni Largely to Impress
tlie Public Mind.
NEW YORK, April 24. Among the
many broken precedents which have
been recorded In the present great Wall
street speculation must be Included the
scale and character of the professional
manipulation for purely sentimental ef
fect on the speculative public at large.
No such fight against prevailing tendency
In the market was ever before witnessed
on the New York stock exchange as that
of today. Some operators in the recent
speculation are credited with the asser
tion that there is no amount of stock
which they will not buy In order' to sus
tain the market for the protection of their
favorite stocks.
Such a statement in Wall street is al
ways accepted with the allowances due
to assertions palpably made for effect. Yet
todays market gave evidence of astonish
ing boldness and aggressiveness in sup
porting prices by the expedient of sim
ply buying everything that was offered.
Prices were also boldly bid up In spite of
the increasing weght of the selling on the
advance. The burden of support seemed
to grow too heavy toward the latter part
of the day, although the market had been
fairly brought to a standstill after the
opening. In the latter part of the day,
however, the bull pool seemed to con
centrate attention more on the stocks

which had been selected for the most ag
gressive manipulation for sustaining ef
fect on prices geperally and to impress
the public mind.
Union Pacific was the most conspicu
ous of these, but the speculation also was
very heavy in St. Paul, Northern Pacific.
Southern Pacific and Burlington, though
not largely dealt in, was very jealously
supported. The total dealings in Union
Pacific reached an aggregate of 662,800
shares. As the total Issue of the com
pany's capital amounts to less than 960,000
shares of common stock, It Is evident that
today's sales would have been sufficient to
transfer the control of the company, had
It represented actual transfer of stock In
any large proportion. Add the sales of
Monday and Tuesday with those of today
and we have a total of 971,000 shares,
which Is much more than he total com
mon stobk issue. Yet no hint Is heard
from any source that Union Pacific Is
changing hands. In fact, there was no
fresh news at all to account for today's
violent rise In the stock, which had
reached an extreme 8, closing practi
cally at the top. This case is typical of
the intensely speculative character of the
recent enormous dealings In the stock
market, although today's business was
even more congested In a few stocks than
at any time hitherto.
In fact, the general market did not at
any time fully respond to the manipula
tion of the leaders. Union Pacific at the
beginning of the last hour of the day was
'left alone In Its upward course the sell
ing having embraced practically every
other stock in the list. When Union Pa
cific itself gave way the slump of prices
became general throughout the list. In
the principal active stocks, it amounted
to from 2 to 5 points and' from 2 to 12
points all through the general list. This
decline offered attractive profits to the
room traders, and when Union Pacific
made Its final spurt the covering by the
bears caused some feverish rallies, but the
closlug was erratic, with new points of
weakness developing. The action of the
market Is difficult to explain from any
news of the day, an'd seemed to be wholly
due to technical causes. There are those
who believe that a very widespread feel
ing exists that the speculation and the
advance in prices have been overdone,
and that there is danger of a' tight money
market, which would force liquidation on
an overstrained market. The disposition
to draw in speculative lines and reduce
commitments is trie outcome of this feel
ing, but it is evident that It is contested
by a very powerful combination of specu
lative interests, who hope to renew the
speculative activity and advance.
Union Pacific convertible bonds were the
leaders of the bond market at an extreme
advance of 2. The market otherwise was
fairly active, but the movement of prices
was Irregular. Total sales, par value,
$6,325,000.
United States bonds were all unchanged

CORN AT CHICAGO.
Market Had -an Upvirard Tendency
and There Were Few Snlew. '
CHICAGO, April 24. The concentrated
condition of May corn In the hands of
Phillips and his following of bulls was
fully apparent In the course of the mar
ket. Bids on an ascending scale which
set a fresh high record for the crop at
every fractional spot brought out only
meager sales, and this was In the face
of the assertion by elevator interests that
country acceptances last night were con
siderably larger than for some time.
On the other hand, however, was a
firm foundation for bull sentiment. The
day's receipts, 80 carloads, wltH only 10
of contract grade, were the smallest In
18 months. Crop bulletins reported that
no corn had been planted nprth of the
Ohio River, and for the first time In some
days there was a cash Inquiry. It is
doubtful if any actual transactions took
place for shipment, however, as Phillips
bid 50 in the open piarket for No. 3
and got none. May opened unchanged to
c higher, at 46c to 47c, and In a few
minutes shot up to 48c. The short Inter
est apparently has been pretty well elim
inated as the bidding was mostly by
bulls led by Phillips. He Wanted May all
the way Up, but. got only 400,000 bushels.
At the top this support was withdrawn
for a" time and the market reacted sud
denly to 47c, where It steadied on re
newed bull support and reacted to 48c
and advanced further to 48c, weakened
to 47c and closed lc higher at 48c
The July option was but little affected by
the course of May.

Chlcnjro Grain and Provisions.
CHICAGO, April 24. Traffic In wheat
futures was active. May opened to c
higher, at 70 tot 71, because cables'
.were steady and in sympathy with corn.
Country belief in gorgeous crop prospects
was reflected in selling orders and for
a few minutes there were Indications of
easiness, May, however, worked only to
7171c Outside sentiment turned bull
ish following this and ruled thus to the
end The aggressive corn strength' and
highly encouraging export talk were the
main factors, but a heavy world's visible
decrease was also influential. May rose
steadily to 72c, but worked back to
7272 on profit taking. The close was
strong, c higher, at 72c
Oats were strong In sympathy with
wheat and corn, an excellent market for
the cash article and unfavorable weather.
May closed c higher, at 26c
Provisions were dull and neglected, but
were strong In sympathy with the cereal
markets. July pork closed 7c higher,
lard 5c up and ribs 2c better.
The leading features ranged as follows:

Forelfrn Financial Xcttr.
NEW YORK, April 24. The Commercial
Advertiser's London financial cablegram
says:
The stock market here was engrossed
In the settlement today, after which the
tendency- to buy 'for speculative account
was generally small except In Americans,
where It was very large and required pro
longed arrangement.
Trading In the American department be
came heavy, and everybody was inclined
to sell on the break yesterday afternoon
and the day before In Now York. But
early purchases of Union Pacific hardened
the list; then New York opened strong,
and there was a great demand for Union
Pacifies, which advanced by leaps and
bounds. The Northern Pacific Issues and
St. Paul also were wanted, and the bid
ding for these hoisted the rest of the list.
London, however. Is rendered very appre
hensive by these sporadic movements.
Money was hard, owing to the large
sums locked up against the new Issue of
consols.
Silver was weak on profit-taking for
speculative accounts.

Chicago Grain Gossip.
F. G. Logan, Chicago, wires as follows
to n.. W. McKlnnon:
Liverpool was unchanged. Berlin lc
higher. The steadiness in foreign mar
kets In face of the sharp break here yes
terday gaVe a better tone' to the feeling,
and a strong market with fair general
speculative trade has resulted. Cash de
mand Is also good, 50 loads being re
ported at the seaboard, and quite a large
business being done here. The general
tone aftd tendency of the market, for the
time being, seems healthy. The Impres
sion Is y that the unfavorable crop pros
pects . In Germany have put buyers of
wheat In London. There are some fur
ther expressions of apprehension In re
gard tp the Hessian fly in the South
west, but nothing alarmingly definite so
far.

BOSTON. April 21 The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter tomorrow will say:
"Aside from the liberal purchases of
fine Australian and Ohio Delaine, made
at the very beginning of the week under
review by a well-known mill, which prac
tically cleans up the supply of such stock
In tho market, the usual trade has ruled
very dull and has presented locally few
features of Interest. The sales referred to
consisted of something like 1500 bales of
Australian, which were taken, it Is report
ed, at prices ranging from 32 to 34 cents,
equivalent to a clean cost of 6567 cents.
The Delaine wools amounted to about
150,000 pounds, and the prices paid are
understood to have been 2S29 cents.
"The sales reflect the tendency of the
demand towards fine wools, which are
relatively much stronger than medium
low wools and they Indicate the confi
dence of consumers In this class of stock
on which prices are firmly held. Taking
the market as a whole, the purchasing has
been mostly of a plecing-out character.
There Is no disposition to anticipate fu
ture requirements to any great extent,
and no speculative tendency Is noticeable.
While, trading may be very dull, the tone
of the market as far as prices are con
cerned Is very steady.
"The sales for the week In Boston
amounted to 2,591,000 pounds domestic and
690,000 pounds foreign, making a total of
3,281,000 pounds, against a total of 4.256.CO0
for the corresponding week last year.
The sales since January 1 amount to 76.
123,000 pounds, against 52,139,200 pounds
for the corresponding time last year."

The Metal Marlcetn.
NEW YORK, April 24. There was very
little interest manifested in the local
metal market today. The only change
was that of spelter, which was princi
pally due to a lack of sellers rather than
to any speculative move. That metal
ruled firm all day and closed 5 points
higher at 5404 05, while in London prices
were without change upon the basis of
17 2s 6d. Tin, both here and In London,
remained featureless and unchanged,
with trading very slow. The close was
quiet at $26, and In London spot was 117
Mlddlesboro 41s 6d.
Lead continues dull at $1 37 here, while
In London a loss of 10s was noted to
12 5s. Copper was a shade firmer abroad,
spot closing at 70 lis 3d and futures
71 2s 6d. The local situation, however,
was very tame, but steady upon the basis
of 517 for Lake, Superior and 16c for
casting and electrolytic. Iron markets
were without change. Pig Iron warrants.
