Two ships, tha Port Caledonia an! the Inveresr. and the steamr K-nlra are en ronte to- PorUand for eld crop load Ins and the Celtlcburn haa been chartered to load on the Sound. Any further ihlp-m-nt made will probably have to go In parcels by the steamer lines to Europe. The trade coold not assume lance proportions in any event, owlns to bs difficulty of accu mulating cargoes at this time. Wheat Is so srarcc and scattend that efforts to buy ex tensively now would put the market above the esport level. No orders from the Orient for wheat or Pour have been booked yet. but the frequent lniulrls indicate that the Japanese are In a buying mood and when they llnd they cannot purchase at their prices it Is be lieved they will raise their bids. There Is iardly a possibility of either wheat or flour vaiurs being shaded during the remainder of the season. The California demand continues, but It hi largely for feed wheat.

NEW YORK. April 24. Influenced by a number of unfavorable factors, the slock market today turned downward rather sharp ly. Sentiment has been predominantly bear ish for some time and It required only the additional weight of the latest developments to turn the market from the narrow groove which it has followed recently and bring about substantial declines. Trading was not heavy, however, and pressure was not severe, except at Intervals . While selling was mainly professional. It was apparent that liquidation was In prog ress in some parts of the market. This was Indicated by the heaviness of standard In vestment stocks and seasoned bonds, which declined as readily as the speculative Issues. Many new low records for the movement were made and In the list were such stocks as New York Central. Northwestern. Illinois Central and American Tobacco. Losses of one to two points were numerous, with de clines among the less stable Industrials run ning as high aa eight points. Chief among the day'a bearish Influences was 'the substantial victory of the firemen on Eastern railroads in their contest for higher wages. While It had been assumed that an increase would be granted, the award drew attention to the higher" operat ing expenses which the railroads will be called upon to meet, as well as the proba bility of further demands from other claases of employes. The concern felt in Europe over the Bal kan situation was reflected In the foreign markets and In some selling here for Lon don account. ' Reports of further extensive applications for capital, the New Haven Inquiry In Bos ton and the decision of tho National Ad ministration to despatch the Secretary of State to California were other items which the bears found useful in pulling the market their way. , Bonds were again under pressure.
