Yestenliiy's decline In wheat ii'.ipcnrcu to
hnvo brought out all that was for sale lie-
low OCo nnd 'buyers had to puy something
o'verMdo' fl'K'iifc.f mtntloncd both for Mny
and July deliveries during the greater part
of today's session. Whatever reanon was
Bfvo.n as tha cause which Induced shorts
to cover wheat previously sold , purchases
of tha't sort constituted nine-tenths ot the
buying done In the forenoon. The. trading
was neither active nor of largo volume.

noon It rose and fell within the extremes of
CiiV'C and We , being mor Inclined
toward the' upper limn the lower
edge . of that range during the
time mentioned. Humors of some coun
try milling demand for unrlng whfut were
given n " one reason for the generally Im
proved tone which rallied wheat again after
Itii first 'drop from around Uti'.ic for May to

day before nnd had already recovered ' , id
of a Id decline before trading started hen- .

During the last few minutes enough reac
tion occurred to bring May down to Cfi ic
and July to C8'i ( CC-c , wftlch were the rlos-
Ing prices.
Corn was also somewhat stronger , Influ
enced partially by the better tone In wheat ,
but chiefly by the heavy rains In the corn
belt- which have raised the presumption of
light receipts. Shorts were good buyers.
ISxportH amounted to 710,000 bu. May

to 23ic and closed llrm at 23'ic. '
ShortH covered In the oatH mnrket nud

and continued unfavorable wet weather
were also factors In the advance. The ag-

NEW YORK , April 8. Thcie was an unmis
takable Improvement in the tone , of thei maiket
for Blocks todny over that which has prevailed
of late. The mnrlyt was not active , but there
was good buylnu/n many stocks nnd the gen
eral list wns W/n. the heavy liquidation In n
number of slot/s , which has been a depressing
Influence , having apparently come to nn end ,
for the time being lit least , There was a din-
position to feel various points In the market
nnd where reslslnnce of values was found theie
was a buying of the slock. The general average
price was higher at the close thnn at last
night's dote. Apparently no apprehension was
caused by the notlllcatlon of the roads In Ihe
Joint TrnMlc nKsoclallon by the railroad commis
sioners for Information concerning their con
tracts , agreements not reduced to writing and
rnle . It was rather felt that Ihls would nerve
to bring Inlo line the road * which ar not dis
posed lo mnlmaln rales and thus tervu ihu
same purpose In maintaining th association' *
rates as the western roads rcelt In agreeing lu
Inform the comi.ilcslon of any dlecrlmlnallon in
rales that may come to their knowledge. The
giangers hi'ld Him today , being favorably af
fected by Ihv rally In Ihe wheat market , All
showed gains , which leached 114 per cent In
llurllngton und 1 per cent In Hi. Paul. Thu
Kouthnffctern shores did not partake fully In the
general Improvement In the railway properties.
Hut the Industrial mid specialties must bu
looked to for Hie main actlvlly of the market ,
The coalers showed a recuKratlng | tendency.
New Jersey Central gained H4 per cent and
Lnckawanna 2 4 per ct-nt , Ihe Inlier on extreme
limited dealings. Hugnr was far In the lead In
tliu niailift , with a third of the total bales of
the day In ll credit. Tr.u ugeregalu of Hugar
sales numbered CO.OW shares. These enormous
Iranructluns had no other vlklble motive than
the conlllcttng gossip us lo whether cither biiycru
tind Ecllera did or did not act for Insldu Inter
ests In Ihelr operations. There was n steady ad-
vnmv under thin buying , reaching 24 ! points lo
11411 nt Ihe close. A large pnrl of tills buying
was said In be by short Inleresls and It had
Us effect In raUIng prlren In the general list.
The shorts were also In evidence In Chicago
( las , In which the dealings were heavy , dealers
who sold earlier In the week on professed ulnrm
over the municipal election In Chicago seeking
to co\cr. The ( lock rote 114 per cent. Local
eaa slocks wrrv also prominent. Consolidated
gained 3 points nnd llrooklvn Uunlon lf\i
per cent on prospective legislation. Tobacco
was lemporurlly depiesied on u report of u
cut price for plug tobacco by u comiutllor , but
Insldo support was forthcoming and the stock
rallied to u net gain. Leather preferred was
also heavy at Ihe start , but later rorr 14 per
cent with the general Improvement. Quite an
nctlve demand for the flould shares developed In
the last hour of trading and Manhattan gained
IV. per cenl nnd Western Union J J per cent.
Standard Oil today lunched SS5 on reports of nn
Intended Increare In Ihe capitalization. Cana
dian Paclllo showed un advance uf 2U per rcnl
und Pullman of n point. The closing wns slrong
and In nearly nil cases at the highest level of
the duy.
T.iu bond market developed a fair degree of
activity , but changes were unukunlly narrow , ex.

sixty-rive loads being reported In the yards
Tne feeling among buyers that bei-f cattle
have been selling too high here as compared
pared- with Chicago made bilyers n little
bearish , with the result that the trade wes
rather alow. The first bids WPTO esneralb
5Q lOc lower and the belt cattle sold a little
lower In most cases than yesterday.
Butchers' stock was In very moderate sup
ply and the market active on desirable
cows and heifers rit strong prices. Some
pretty decent heifers sold nt J4.05.
Par a couple of days past feeders have
been corning In most too fast for the- de
mand and there * h tH"bcpn some tendency
toward accumulation. Speculators In con
sequence were "iTbT'sMch" free buyers and
the feeling was litlle easier , llcshy cattle

the Joint Session.
PKA KKOUT , Ky. , April S. When the
roll was called In the Joint executive ses
sion today the silver democrats declined to
answer their names , hoping that with the
arslstanco of the bolting republicans thty
would be able 4o break a quorum , In thltj
they wore unsuecoasful , the gold democrats
uniting with the Hunterltea In order to
force the balloting and the roll call showed
seventy ono present , one more than neces
sary to constitute a ijuorum. Unable to pr -
vent a ballot , the silver men voted for
Dlackburn when the ballot was ordered ,
while the gold dcmocrata voted for the com
promise candidate , IJwiry L. Martin. All
but the paired members vtvted. They wore
no t'lgnlllcnnt chaiiRis and the votca stood :
Hunter , 01 ; Dlnckburn , 44 ; Martin , 13 ; Doyle.
7 ; Stone , 1 ; necessary to choice , C4.
On motion of Representative Howard , re
publican , no ono was allowed near the
clerk's desk during the ballot , not even
the wrgeaiil-iat-arms nor the doorkeeper , for
fear that something might be dnno In case
Hunter should bo elected that would cauae
trouble.
When President Worthlngton first an
nounce ! the vote he gave lloylo nine votcrj
when bo < hnd only received seven. This
occasioned a stampede , and for a time It
looktyj as If there might bo trouble. It was
finally found that it was purely a clerical
error , and a recapitulation of the vote was
had ,
The motion was made to adjourn and de
feated and the second ballot was ordered.
The exclteicent was Intense at all times
and when during the first ballot It looked
PS If one vote would elect Dr. Hunter , there
were a dozen men around Senator Stegen
endeavoring to got him to cant the deciding
vote , but he voted for Uoylo. There was
no change om the second ballot with the
exception that Hunter received sixty In
stead of sixty-six and Martin ten ir.atead
of cloven , owing to a pair. The general
assembly then adjourned without a dissent
ing vote.
