CHICAGO. April 20.-Tho hnivy Arson

wheat today. Hip close IioIiik a shade to
l.c lower. Corn cloxed UllLc down Hli'l
oats a shade to 'it- depresMd. itomimoiis
nt the close were 1fil5c down. I
Wheal traders cllnrbcd Into the pit at i
tho opening of the session with their views
toncc ruing tne value of wheat lowered from
V lie- This was due to the fact that
Argentina last week shipped 3,700,001 bu..
that cables were lower and the weather
auditions remained the fast friend of the
the crop. llavliiK Riven this exhibition of
beliiR awake the speculative trade pro
ceeded to slumber. Kor hours-ln fait
nearly the whole setflon-the IIik tuatlons
were narrow as a cable slot. On the fair
fa. e of the crop i.ro-pect there of .oiirse
remained a wart in the shape of a lather
poor outlook In Michigan. Ohio and Indiana
ami the consideration of this matter of
run history so iilTcld one speculator that
lie covered n short line of IW.UW) bit. Hut
the others only smiled and cheerfully sold
11 to him. The cash business ns falr--160,f)
bit. here, fiO.fJUO bll. of It for direct
export. New York put the export business
at 30 loads and Philadelphia reported :!
lo.ids. This had a sleadylllR Inlliience.
which h"ld to the end. The spread between
Mnv and July wldrncd to Pic during the
arternoon and there was oiislderable
' rhaiiRliiR." Tho local crowd sold May and
took Julv. while the elevators In a mod
el ate way reversed the action. Primary re--clpts
were 37i!,OPO tin., compared with art.
i bu. last year. .Minneapolis and Duluth
reported 2 cars, iiRiilnst 271 a year ago.
l,o. al receipts were 12 cars, none of con
tract Riade. Clearances III wheat and Hour
wotc eiuul to 177,10 tin. May opened Vd'jc
lower at OS'fcftiiS'ii- to 6.1c. advanced to ilj'i'f
i'".i and closed i4e down at liG'ic. July b
gan the session 'S,c lowir at i.ft liic to
t,6'V. touched and closed a shade
down in 66V-
In corn the market largely belonged to
tho scalpers. Trade was unlet and the
runRe narrow. Thr opening was from 'jc
to 'sc under yesterday's cIosIiir tlRiires. but
Hie close mowed a pari in mis riTuvnru.
The Argentine shipments were larRer and
Ibis. together with the Rood weather and
lower cables, was a factor. Local receipts
were 201 cars, The country movement was
reported still IIrIH. May solo between 3s?j
italic nnd llSi.ic, cloning yc down at ;MV;
July between ilMlf.i-'V, closlnR Ml lie tle
prcesed at 3:'11(BV-.
The provisions market was weak and
lower. afTecled by weaker Iiors, the lower
Rrnln market and lliUldatlon. Outside sell
ing was a feature. May pork sold from
S12S0 to S12.WU,, i IosIiir 10c down at SI2.W;
Jul), from S13.10 to IVIM and closed 15c
lowrr nt S11. May lard raiiRcd between

It fid Sf.lC'yi.OS, with the close 10ftl2'c re
duced at S7 05.
Oats were weak, a matter of sympathy
with corn and wheat. The volume of trado
was augmented somewhat by the decline,
but not h 1 1 1 1 c 1 1 i ) 1 1 to create anything like
eX'ltement. Heeelpls were 131 cars. May

NEW YORK, April 20,-Tliu stock morket
continued unsettled nnd hesltntlng today
under tho Inllttence of the uncertainty sur
rounding the Iron and sleel Issues. The
undertone was distinctly llrm and the early
period of weakness gave way to n slow and

that the short Interest was iiultp large.
The comparative quiet of the Iron and steel
stocks nnd positive strength at 11 number
of points prompted the covering of shorts
and encoiirnged what slight buying for
general account there was. Eager atten

Wire nil day In view or the seslon of tho
company's executive committee. The move

trary directions, ns though to cause a feel
ing of uncertainty over developments In the
company.
Aside from this confusing manipulation
dealings In the stock were apparentlv
largply In thp hands of the room trnders,
who circulated many rumors concerning the
txecutlvo committee meeting. The com
mittee's action was kept secret until after

With this disturbing factor kept In tho
background n number of favorable lnllii

trade reports, the 'bituminous coal 11s well

manner and Texas . Paclllc. Canadian

good crop weather was a sustaining In
fluence with the grnln-cnrrylng roads.

CATTLE For a Trlday there was n lib
ernl run of cnttle, making It tho largest
week of the month so far. The market an
n whole was slow nnd mean. Buyers
seemed to be more Indifferent than they
have been any day before this weeK aim
fellers complained that It wna hnrd work
to soil at satisfactory prices. The esrly
market was slow nnd It was late before
any business of consequence was trans
acted. The fat cattle market was unevenly
lower, ranging all the way from weak to
10c lower. The least decline was on the
cholco fat llttlo cnttle. The market dragged
all the morning and closed weak nnd slow
at the decline.
Cows and heifers seemed to be In fair
demand, but still cockers were determined
to take off a little,, nnd succeeded. Some
of the best heifers and cows did not show
much change, while on the other hnnd
there wrro sales fr&'IOc lower. The best fat
bulls sold quite well, but the medium
grades were very slow nnd lower.
Thero were not stockers and feeders
enoiiEh In the vnrds to make a test of the
market. The few loads here sold at about
steady prices and there were no new
features to the trade. Representative sales:
BEEF STEERS.
