Stock Market Is Able to Resist
Bear Pressure.
LAST PRICES ARE HIGHER
Harrlinans ATfccted at tlte Opening
by Oregon Land Case Rating,
but QolCetlj-"ltecoverxnd
Close Strong.
KSW YORK, April ST.. Some progress
was rnsde In the direction of higher prices
OB tho atock exchange, deerplts the fact that
th pressur which hss bsen directed against
stocks In tha last few days waa not re
laxed. Ths msrket displayed strong powers
of resistance sad after a period of weakness,
which followed th opening, rallied and held
firm.
A Isrrs part of tho day's buslneas again
centered around United Slates Steel. Trading
In tha .hares constituted nearly ana-third
of the total, many fair-used blocks chsnu
Ing hands. Th heaviness of tha stock
early In ths day wss ascribed to a report
of Chairmen Gary's resignation. Tha re
port, however, waa quickly denied by tbs
chairman, and ths stuck recovered.
Th quarterly statement. Issued sfter th
close of the market, wss disappointing, es
timates of ths esmings having been In th
neighborhood of gliS.OOO.OOO, as compared
with K3.M9.0oo shown In th report. Th
unexpectedly small nsuras for tho quarter
were explained largely by th January
sarnlngs. which were less thsa I4.000.0H0.
Activity and strength of the copper share
daring ths last two days and reports of
hug salea of the metal wer followed today
by th ststenfvnt that oas of tb largest
agencies had reduced Its selling price of
copper from 12 S to 12 S cents. It Is an
dersiood that large sales wer made at tha
latter rate.
The Harrlman shsre mer effected ad
versely at the opening by the ruling against
Doulharn Pacific In ths Oregon land rase,
but Southsrn Pacific, which lost a point,
quickly recovert-d and Vnloa Pacific was ons
of the strongest stocks at the close.
High-grsde bonds continued In good de
man.!. Total sales, psr value, I3.1.000.
United Stales bonds unchanged on call.

today. Rallies proved brief in every care,
much long grain and more or less of tha
short variety -being for sale at all the hard
spota in th market. Besides the bear gentl
tnent, due to moisture where needed, ad
vlres were at hand showing that Spring
wheat seeding Northwest should be largely
completed on both sides of the International
tins this week, and that the Canadian plant
ing would reach th huge total of 11.000.000
acres. Momentary sources of encoursge
ment for-the bulls were fully offset by news
that foreign markets had become depressed,
owing largely to Improved conditions for
European cropa Furthermore, cash demand
turned out poor In all directions. Trading
In July delivery ranged from 80e to b7
trS7Sc. with th clus at 7c, a net loss
of Sc. -
Lightness of offerings late In tha session
gsv a show of firmness to corn. High and

cisely the same as last night. Cash grades
were slow. No. 2 yellow finished at 62

tended to make oats sasy. July fluctuated
between 81 Sc and 31c, closing c net

New potatoes arriving on today's boat from j
California were quotea iu ' .

In price was due to heavier D'
potatoes were In good demand. The famine
prices of old potatoes are forcing many con
sumers to purchase new stock. '
Two carloads of Florida tomatoes arrived.
The supply of asparagus was so heavy that
prices were demoralized. Long green did
not sell above $2 and flat sold as low as 40
Llve poultry was much more plentiful to
dsy. Dealers believe that shipments will in
crease from now on. and that the market
will be well supplied for several months.
Orders were so large today that prices wore
not affected.
Eggs sold at 24 cents In most Quarters.
Dealers have hard work getting the price
of cheese up. The tor) price remains at
atiout 15 ' cents. Butter waa weak at 28
cents.
' The feature of the day'l operations on the
groin exchange, was the advance of 50
cents per ton on barley. Barley Is now
quoted at $28, one of the highest quota
tions seen on this market In several years.
Wheat waa dull and nominally unchanged.
The Government has decided not to call
for bids for hay and oats for use in the
Philippines until July or August, In order
to tske advantage of the new crop prices.
