CHICAGO , April 23.-Wheat today closed unstcmly at a decline of 2Q V4c on the Chicago cage exchange In response to n Do break nt Liverpool. At ono time the Chicago market - ket showed a loss ot 3c. Corn closd ! 4c lower. Oats wns strong , especially May , which closed lV4c hlg'ncr , while July gained ' . c. Fears of n squeeze In May caused the bulije. Only 600,000 bu. are In store , against nn estimated ahort Interest of 6,000,000 bu. Provisions were Irregular , but closed strong , with lard , which ruled Independently , firm on cubic ndvlccs anil gnlned lOc per tierce. 1'ork lost 22c ; ribs gnlned 2 c. For the drat tlmo In four days the Liver pool market today showed signs of weaken ing. It started at declines averaging 2Jc ! a bushel , except for spot grain , w'nlch was quoted l'/4o ' higher. This was Iho llrst set back In the foreign market after 2',4c ad vance. The bears were Jubilant , thinking as they did that the so-called speculative bubble abroad had exploded. Quotations I' ftSu a bUH'nel higher from London , 44c } at Mark Lane and 2'/4c nt I'arls were quietly Ignored , nnd July , which closed here ycster- dny worth OSHc , started at from M'/ic to OT&c. A little covering carried It up to Ulc. This demand was soon filled rind bottom was not reached until July had sold at 82l4c. Western receipts showed considerable Increase 077,000 bu. at primary points , against 3M.OOO bu. last year. Northwestern receipts were 522 cars , against 578 last year. Atlantic ports cleared 403,000 bu. of wheat nnd Hour. Closing Liverpool cables brought t'ne bulls no relief , that market winding up nt the bottom of a 5c decline for July. But the local crowd , which hail apparently sold short almost to a man , tried to cover half an hour before the close , and had to com pete with 'neavy New Yorklbuylng. The re- suit was a bulge of 2V&C In July , which touched 9l > ic. Heallzlng carried It back to 93 ! c at the close , u net loss of 2c. May , which opened at 3t.20K91.21 , sold off to I1.17H. closing at (1.20 , a net loss of 2Hc. Corn was fairly active but heavy for the moat part , and closed atjc decline. The country acceptances were heavy , export ac ceptances comparatively llg'nt , and elevator pcoplo and others sold against corn to ar IJ rive for the country. The lowest prices were made nt the start , but the heavy feelIng - Ing prevented any material recovery. He- cclpts were tKi cars and 833,000 bu. were In spected out of store. Atlantic ports cleared 67,000 bu. Liverpool spot cotton was quoteii % d lower. July opened H@c lower at 3lfi 31V4c , so'd between 33c nnd 34VfriT31c , nnc closing lie net lower at 3l',4c. Oats opened weak , but heavy purchases against cash acceptances caused a rally especially In May. The short Interest Ir t'ne latter month Is supposed to be nboul 6,000.000 bu. , and 600,000 bu. arc stored here , Atlantic ports cleared C2I.OOO bu. Chlcagc received 371 cars.

NEW YORK , April 29.-The bull campaign In- itiguratcd yejtcrtlay was continued with agsres Ivo vigor today In the stock market and price : ere lifted from 1 to nearly 4 points through' > ut the ncthc list. The rharp advance did in' ring out any largo amount of offers to realize tut there was some profit taking apparently bj he small traders In the late dealing , whlct illpped off the extreme gains for the day. 1 ras notable , houever , throughout the day , thai ny marked reaction In prices immediately leO o n cessation in offerings and a period of In. ense dullness. The rntier : unhesitating and un ettled tone of Americans In London was IK mrcd and prices were confidently advanced her < rom the opening. There was no Important op io ltlon to the bull campaign and prices mo\ei julte easily , the supply of stock * contlnulw athcr limited. The volume of business showei further Increase over > estcrday nnd furthci ddltlons to the list of active stocks. The rpec ulnllve leaders , which were bouKht by the Mil coterie , were followed by other clocks \\lion "rlendi desired to see them keep pace with tin cst of the matkct , There were n nc\v tlevcl ipments during the day beyond the contlnuci confidence In the general situation. The dvclara lion of neutrality by Portugal may have hac wine slight effect. Hut the main conslderatloi wail the i < utlsfiictlon felt over the excellent gun icry of United States chips at Matanzas nnd li mrsult of prizes nnd the Ineffective efforts o he Spanish gunncnt. The i-klll thus demon .itratcd imparts a strong conviction as. to th superiority ot the United States forces , llarl ; 'ntelllgence Is also confidently expected of i iaallctory o\er the Kpanlards cff the Phil .pplnes. The Ftrength of the market was quit wneral , but of the fpeclaltles , notably Sugar Manhattan nnd Metropolitan Street Railway moved more orderly than the njeneral list. Th grangers , 01 usual , led the railroad list. Forclgi ixctmnge was loner , demand sterling brcaklni iharply a half cent to tl 84. The discount rite li Condon also declined. Tills led to renewed tall if gold Imparts and the ttlftenlng came In tlv .oan rate und was a further factor to this end The abundant supply of money which has bee ; Available for call loans has been bused on th illslncllnatlon of lender * to put their fundi Int Ime loans nnd commercial paper. AccDmmoda Ions In these departments are now more eafll ; .lad. as the outlook Is believed to favor easle money conditions. This may lead to stlflenln in the cell loan rate , as tending somewhat t equalize the charges in the different department of the money market. There is Increased Inqulr ; for railroad bond * .

CATTL1C Cattle looked up today and II seemed quite like an old-time market , lie' celpts were llK'nt at all market points , carlj reports crediting Chicago with only 3,000 nnd Kansas City with 2,500 , so that seller ! had that much in their favor. As n s > tlll further bull intlucncc a vcrj active demand , both local and shipping was developed and t'ne market took a turn rncs favorable to the holders of fat cattle , lie pit-able beef steers were active sellers ni nn advance of ClilOc , and everything In tin yards was sold and weighed up at an earls hour. There were some pretty good cattle among the offerings , as high as $1.90 belm paid for n load of polled minus and $1.03 foi good westerns. The market on beef cattli 'nns shown considerable Improvement thU week and desirable llwht cattle such us an wanted bj' the buyers aru belling about as high as any time. Even heavy cattle , whlcl have been slow on most days , have gradu ally crawled upward und nro selling con slderably above the low time. Uutchers' stock , such as desirable cow ! and heifers , was active at about the sami advance as beef steers. The supply wai light , only ten or a dozen loads helm offered , nnd It did not take the buyers ver ; Ions to clear the pens. Quito a numlbcr o heifers sold right around 14.00 , some at $1.15 and a few head as high as $4.23. In , t'ne stacker and. feeder market then was not much change noticeable. Commoi Miockers , In fact , were rather slow sellers buyers being u llttlo backward about Uiklni hold of anything that was not really de slrable. Representative sales : . . . . I1OOS llecelpts of tiOfrB were muoh tmalle than jeslenlny , lesi than 100 cars being on Hal toilay , as against 120 yesterday. Still It was liberal run for a Friday. One week ago tti receipts numbered eighty-one cars , t\v week' ago eighty-one cars and tlirf weeks ago only ility-two ran. The bulge I price * has had the effect apparently of itlmulni Ing shipments and the very fact that more hex are romlnr with an advance of only 15W2C would seem to bear out the theory of packet that there are plenty of hogs In the countr and that urjwers are only waiting for a favorabl tlm to ship them. Today's trade In hofrs can be summed up 1 a very few word * It was a goal active an strong market. The shippers were not opera : Im ; to any extent , but the packers were Inrj buyers and the demand from that source we fully equal to Uttt-xeceJpts. The trade opcne early and everything was cold and weighed u Lefarn th middle of the forenoon. As was the caie yesterday , the most of I' : IIOKS nold at J3.75fi3.SO , with a few loads t Bond heavy and liutcher weight * nt S3 82yj@3 & but the proportion of nalt-s at 13.75 wan imalli than yesterday , -wlille-there were more at ll.ft The hops reid today about Re lower Ilian week HKO , but 5010 ? higher than the flrnt i the week.
