There weiv advices of crop damage , Htt-rllng exchange was strong at higher tig- urea nnd call iwnpy was at the legal rate 0 per cent In the afternoon , all of which combined to send prices off with a rush and the market closed weak under pressure. The demand for money was Incidental to Iho preparations of eori nratlons to meet May dlsbun-ements and th-n there was a dispo sition among traders to anticipate a po-.isl- b'.o squeeze in cull money tomorrow , when loans carry over to Monday. There was moderate arbitrage buying for London account early nnd the traders also Vivre prominent buyers , but the diminishing commission house bupiinss prompted them to switch their jvosltlon and sell for a turn. The trading , which reached half a mlllkm shares , was practically all for professional operators , bllver certlllcatrs representing 100,000 ounces chanird hands nt from 63U to 64U , the latter being the- highest HRUI > J In over two years. The bull snecu'atlon In silver , as well as dividend gossip , Imparted strength to Den ver & RioGrande. . Anaconda had ovr 3 points knocked off from Its recent ndvi.ico on liquidation Induced by the denial of a largo Interest that the proposed Copper trtu = t had control of the property. Man hattan Beach dropped 7 points , with llttU recovery on stop-lo.-s orders being reached. New York Airbrake Fold up It points , the creator nart > of which It .held on the approach preach of the Judicial decision , which friends of the property hope will bo favora ble. Delaware , Lackawanna & Western re covered from yesterday's depression , which was connected with rumors of Impending 'abw dllllcuMep. The heaviness of the mar ket was accentuated by free spiling of Brooklyn Rapid Transit nnd Sugar , al- thoush an earlier rise in Sugar was on an Intangible rumor that the company would offer rights to subscribe for a new Issue of stock at par to be used In oonnfctlon with the deal with rival Interests. Further Improvements were made. In all the standard railway mortgages today and some new flotations were also takt-n nt Im proved figures. Total sale.

The CommercialAdvortl'or's London financial cablegram says : The markets hero were brisk for a tlmo today , but the tend ency was dull. Silver was very active ; the olllclal price was 2Sd , but It has been dealt In at C9'/4d and H closed at 2STiid , The rise Is thought to IM over for the present. Amer icans wore hard here , but In the absence rf New York support they sagged In the after noon. Denver & Rio Grande and Norfolk & Western were exceptionally strong. There was considerable proflt-taldng In Mexican railways. A rally came later , with sliver and copper shares erratic. Coffee wan down a pound. Arbitrageurs are shy of buying here for fear of being called on to deliver in America. The Credit LyonnaJse is said to have effected last night a large tulo of Anacondas In New York nt the equivalent of 149-16.

The receipts of cornfed steeis were much smaller than on previous iiuytt this week , and for that reason tho. fueling on the market seemed to be a little bettor and the trade a little moro active , about everything changing handy early iu the tort-noon. Valuee , how ever , were not quotably changed. The cattle tlo were nothing extra in the matter of quality , and for that reason the sales do not show ui > very well on paper. Cows nnd heifers were In good demand and the market active at the same old prices. As noted yesterday , the market on that kind of cattle has notv-hanged In a week or more. Calves were in demand at firm prices , the best selling at $7.00. Bulls , stag ? , etc. , were steady. Stackers and fetders were In very light supply , but on the other hand very few W-TO wanted , so that It was just as well. Still there was some little country Inquiry and speculators were pretty well cleaned out. so that the market was In a gtmd , healthy condition and fully steady with yesterday. The stock-r nnd feeder market has * gene off in about the same proportion as fat cattle. Representative sales : BEEF STEEtia. HOGS On the ilrsl round bids and sales were only about steady , but.through the Inllucnco of Iho good demand thu market gained In strength and the bulk of the hogs old n shud > higher. The must of the IIIIJH sold nt the range of J..65f(3.70. ! There were a good many mure sales at $3.67' ' , { ! tndiiy and fowvr t J3.65. The tap wan ditto higher to day , a bunch of choice heavy bringing $3.40. Toward the floso afti-r the urgent orders were lll'ed the niarlut wa.- not quite f < > strnui : an It was at Ihn llest time , but the niark-t as a wholiavirage.1 a llttk- higher than it did yesti-rday , as will bo noted from th" table of average juices at In ad of ex. ' * ' ! nil. The trade as n whole was also fj'.rly ' aoilvo ami pracilrally everything iiold In good . -castm. Ono we Me ago mlay the market was high the hogs polling on that date within 2c of the highest point touclu-d this year , and the market IH now less than ti dime 'ow r than It was on that date. In other words , hogs are now selling fully up to the av-rage for thu month and tluinnrlul ns a whole l.s in a very healthy condition. The recc-lpls this w-cl ; have been liberal , but apparently none too largo to supply the demand , Represen tative salu-s ; ?

They show that control by a few largo corporations IB not only the destiny of the Iron tradn of the country , but Is practically Its condition to day. And that movements just ahead will mean further dominance by large corpora- ti'iiis. Greater certainty of profitable prices year In and year out , and of harmony among the few large Interests , Is to result from the deals now under way. The only clement of uncertainty Is Hint growing out of the J15.- 000,000 atcol works project at Huffiilo. While on the face of It this may promise conflict ltn final' turn may bring pence. Meantime , the trade Is even moro bewildered than at any stage of the consolidation campaign , ap preciating fully the fact that a single day's developments may 5io of far-reaching elgnlfl- cance. _ Opinion I'm or * Vat ( ioiiiltvln.
