CHICAGO, April 26.-Corn was the lead
ing deal on tho Hoard of Trade today.
Helped by higher cublc and a large gen
eral demand tho market was broad und
buoyant early, but lost It Inter, closing
weak. Ufl4o under yesterday. Wheat closed
weak, 'ti4o to fio down. Oats closed Wp
Uo depressed and provisions it shade to 22'ti
6a lower.
Tho corn market opened erratically be
cause many had expected u rush of selling
orders In ploco of which some of tho In
fluential people wcro buyers. The Influences
wero the strength of Liverpool, particularly
for spot, and tho reports of delay In seed
ing, due to the rains. A broad general de
mand developed at the bturt and tho price
went up on the Jump, longs, shorts and
traders huylnir ns If there was nothing in
the world worth having cuve corn. At the
top tho demand slackened and In proportion
thn onerlngs Increased. The cash huslnc.M
was poor and New York reported only ten
loads taken for cxport-a poor showing In
comparison with recent export business.
Under theso conditions the market pro
ceeded to relinquish Its early gains and tho
result was a weak close. May ranged from
40,o to 39c and closed V.c down at 39'Ac:
July from 4U4c to 40ic closing Ufi-V de
pressed at WAQWiv. Receipts hero wcro
14$ cars. Trade early was characterized by
great activity, hut tho latter part of tho
pension tho animation was much less
marked. . , ,.
In tho wheat pit at the opening disap
pointment was felt at the cables, which
did not reflect the advance hero yesterday.
In addition this the weather was reported
perfect and tho crop prospects excellent.
With theso facts In mind tho beginning of
trade saw tho market easy and depressed.
Tho corn strength, however, was felt al
most Immediately and tinder that Influenco
wheat milled, shorts covering freely. Tho
cash biiMness was very slack ond the ' trade
In futures most of the time quiet. Ith tho
talent bearish tho break In corn was readily
followed, early buyers selling out. Dip
clno was woak. May ranged from 6i,'io to
fiVo anil closed W&v down nt 7W.V4';
July opened nt 07e to 67'fce, advanced to
67o and declined to 67e. closing at that fig
ure, -o under yesterday. New ork re
ported JO loads taken for export anil 2t.000
bushels wcro sold here to go to the other
side. Atlantlo port clearances In wheat and
flour wero equal to 331.000 bushels. Primary
receipts wero 11,000 bushels, compared with
ir.,oniUiUKhols last year. Minneapolis and
Dululh reported 370 cars, against 2j7 ast
week and 331 a year ago. Ixk-uI receipts
wero 37 cars, none of contract grade.
Oata wero steady at ono time, but finished
weak In sympathy with the wind-up In
corn mid wheat. Kven at tho periods of tho
greatest strength in corn and wheat this
market responded very heavily. Tho cash
demand was reported poor and the gooil
weather had a depressing effect generally.
T,oc,il recclids were 132 cars. May ranged
from 23V4" to 23'.Vi23Vio and closed 'kfiV.c
under yesterday at 2.1'Mt23Vic; July sold
from StTio to s.WMjSSVio and closed '.ifl'.ic
down nt 23Hfi23V4c.
Lard was tho main Item In the pro
visions market. There was a big trade and
tho tono was firm. The range, however,
was narrow. Commission houses wero
good buyers and tho general demand was
good. Iard was the most sought-after
nrtlele. July pork sold from J12.97V4 to
J12.S0, closing 24fBc lower at JI2.S5; July
lard from J7.37!4 to $7.2fi. closing a shado
lower at J7.251i 7.27(4, and July ribs from
$7.15 to $7.0.,. with the closo a shado de
pressed at $7.07'4. ,,,, .

MOVKMU.VrS OF STOCKS AXI BONDS.
1, niter Pnrl ml .Session Mnrkcil by n
Oetennlneil Mine,
NEW YORK. April 2.-The stock mar
ket developed on Impressive show of
strength during the latter part of today.
Tho principal Influence In tho rise was a
resumption of the upward movement In
Pennsylvania and Baltimore i Ohio stock,
Tho recent reaction In these stocks has
been accompanied by rumors that Im
portant speculative Interests, which had
been prominent In the advance, had sold
out and taken their profits. Toe news of
the very heavy outlays In prospect for
permanent betterment and Increased ship
ments awakened some apprehension of divi
dend Increases being Indefinitely post
poned not only on Pennsylvania stock, but
on Baltimore & Ohio and many others
which have been subject to rumors of In
creased dividends, but today the report of
a probable Increase In the Pennsylvania
dividend rate took form again and was
circulated with great expllcltness.
Bids were made on tho board for tho
next semi-annual dividend on Pennsylvania
on thousands of shares of stock, 2i per
cent, compared with 21 per cent, the Inst
rate. The meeting of the directors for tho
purpose of fixing the dividend rate is fixed
lor 'luesday next. Ttiese reports In regard 1
to Pennsylvania Hind the most Indirect In- '
fluenco In Baltimore ft Ohio stocks, next to
Pennsylvania Itself, but the whole railroad
list responded In varying degree to the In- I
fluenco of this movement. Thee pools,
whoso operations for n rise were Inter- '
riltnH hv' Ihn etstAl nn,l nl,n nnlimla rn.
sumed their operations to some extent.
This wns notnbly true of the Oould South
western group, which nre subjects of teem
ing rumors of prospective combination! or
consolidations. The determined firmness of
Sugar and Its buoyant upturn later had a
sympathetic effect on the market. Tho
movement Is still attributed to the demand
from tho shorts, but tho many assertions
of favorable developments In the trade war
muy havo had their effect.
A number of unusually favorable railroad
statements also had a strengthening effect
on tho market. Increases In net earnings
ror .Maren wero reported by the Atchison, ,
Topekn, R- Santa Fe of 63 per cent: by tho
Hocking Valley railway of 105 per cent, and ,
by the Central of Georgia of 30 per cent. 1
Returns of gross earnings for the third
week of April were nlso uniformly favor
able. Theso factors of strength caused
growing uneasiness among the rather un- 1
wielily snopt interest and the demnnd from
that clement nnd no small part In the rally
In the market. Tho unsteadiness of the
sterling exchange market today gavo
srouiul for renewed doubt as to the con
tinuance for the present of the gold export
movement. The strong return of the Bank
of England for tho week, as well as that of
tho Imperial Bank of Germany, had somo
effect on tho exchange market. The sub
treasury's debit balance at the clearing
house showed a further decline today, fall

Tho Commercial Advertiser's London

fractional harder and loans touched 1 pre
mium on strong buying, closing nt 1 3-16.

senco of continental support. New York
responded nnd the close wns near the top.
Tho features wero Baltimore & Ohio and
Wabash bonds, tho latter on New York In
quiry. Coppers were again wanted nt a
quarter rlso on bear closing. Tho bank lost
70,000 sold to South America and bought
30.000 in German coin. The fall In sterling
exchange reduced the talk of American
exports, but It Is reported that gold Is
going out soon from Iondon to Paris. Call
money was firm nt unchanged rates nnd
bills wero harder and fewer were offering.
The bank renewed the few sums due. nnd
also lent slightly, besides doing a moderato
business In discounts. Tho bank return

Indicates Sunday.
The ofllclal number of cars of stock
brought In today by each road was:
Cattle. Hogs. Sh'p. H'r's.
HOGS Today's mnrket wns n shade
higher than yesterday and fairly nctlve nt
the advance, so thnt all of the hogs sold
early In the morning. The general run of
mixed loads went at J5.37'iff5.l0, while the
bulk yesterday sold nt J5.35M5.37K. Somo
1 of tho lightweights, as n matter of course,
sold below J5.37h, while a few loads of
tho best henvs sold nhovn 35.40 nnd as
high ns J5.47H.
The demand for hogs nt this point seems
to be In excess of the receipts. Home of
the largest packers, If appearances ure to
bo taken as any guide, have sold their
product and must havo tho hogs to lilt
their orders. The result Is that for some
time past this market has been higher In
comparison than any other market In tho
country. For example, the average prlco
paid for hogs at St. Joseph yesterday was
J5.31 und at South Omaha J5.36, KansaH
City hns been completely outclassed, tho
hogs having sold there yesterday largely
at J5.25ff5.30. ns against J5.35f5.37',i at
South Omaha. Out of 16,953 hogs reported
received nt Kansas City yesterday tho
Drovers Telegram reports only twenty
three loads us selling at J5.35 or abovo
whllo at South Omaha out of only 7,310
hogs received thirteen loads brought J5. 10,
twenty-five loads J3.37'.4 and fifty-seven
loads J5.35, or a total of ninety-live loads
at J3.35 or above, as against twenty-threo
loads at J5.35 or abovo for Kansas City.

CATTLE There were about 100 cars of
cattle of all kinds In the yards today, of
which somo slxty-tlvo cars wero cornfed
beef steers. There -were ten cars of cheap
cattle bought on tho Kansas City market
and consigned direct to packing house
here, not being offered for sale. The mar
ket, as a whole, was not much different
from what Is was yesterday.
The market on cornfed cattle was n little
slow about opening nnd sellers reported in
somo cases tho llrst bids wero lower. There
was, howevw, a pretty fair demand and
the market soon became reasonably active
at Just about steady prices. Sellers in
somo cases reported the market as a little
stronger on desirable kinds than yester
day, whllo there were others who did not
think that they had as good luck ns yes
terday. Tho most of the cattle sold In good
season, but ns was tho case yesterday it
wits tho handy weights' that sold first and
tho heavy cattle that hung fire to the last.
Cows and heifers sold early at Just about
steady prices nnd tho trade was fairly
active so that tho most of tho receipts
changed hands In good season. Townrd tho
close the market "was not quite so brisk
and tho feeling was easier on the late sales.
Bulls, stags, etc., did not show any ma
terial chango as compared with yesterday.
Fat bulls are not selling any too well at tho
best.
Stockers and feeder were In fair de
mnnd nnd as there were not many on salo
tho supply was soon exhausted. Represent
ative sales:
