The market for "grain bans Is rather

jThe condition of the market depends en-
I tlrely upon thu outlook for the grain

At the present time the outlook-is-rrot

the pHtrt tiioutu. This amount is ample
to take care of any ordinary crop. In
asmuch a California is again becoming
very dry. Jn spite of the moisture of 10
days ago, and considering the height of
the present, prices, they.are no't an at
tractive speculation. ' 'fcihlpment - are

There Is-a slightly firmer feeling In
the gn an trade. ' For export club bids
have been advanced, to 85o a bushel, or
a cent better than tortnet .Quotation.
In." a very limited way as high- as ?7c
is being offered for best milling grade.".-
Efforts to purchase bluestem wheat
below 99c or $1 a bushel have failed
completely so far as the best quality
Is concerned. The shortage of this va
riety and grade 1:. daily becoming more
apparent and for that reason leading
milling interests aVe quietly trying to
secure supplies" without unduly excit
ing oouhtry holders. ' . "
There Is nothing doing tn the cargo
market at present forwhea. The recent-sale
by an exporting firm at a
lower price rather spoiled the market
for the time being, as other holders will
not offer at tha priee recently sold at
by the one firm. . . 1 ,

New York. April l.-lt was April
fool for those timid speculators who
always, get on the wrong side of the
market." There w-ai general expectation
for the' market to drop but a sharp ad
vance resulted, Shorts were nervous and
covered quite freely after the start?
All of the specialties were good movers
during the day.
London and the Continent were good
puVehasers of stocks on the report that
Turkeys had accepted the peace terms
of the powers. , 1
