CHICAGO, April 30,-iloard of Trade markets wero quiet today, ns many traders fi ck to bo even over the holiday tomor row. Corn was strong, helped by cables, ni d closed Vic to -HUHo Improved. Wheat clised He to Uf&cj down and oats n shndo to '4c depressed. Provisions cloned 2i1te to lTVSc under Saturday. Corn opened firm, fractionally over Sat urday's close, Cables were- strong and cc 'intry offerings small. There was a fair, though rather scattered demand and no rtleular selling pressure. There was some i ket for motal. Tin, however, In sympathy I wan Elt.MX). Gold premiums are quoted as liquidation of .May, with purchases of July In exchange at lHOHic difference. During the session a spurt of liberal offerings from nn Influential trader caused a dip, but this was recovered, helped by the visible decrease, of 2,190,000 bit. Local receipts were 164 cars. May ranged from 3DV5c to lfc mill closed VB'c up at 40c. July sold from i0c to 41',(,c and closed tic higher nt 41c. The trade In wheat was quiet and con si ,(cd mostly In exchanging May for July ni a spread of l?4c. As a result, May was relatively weaker than July, tho latter rinsing with an appearance, of steadiness. Traders generally were Inclined to play rven over tho holiday tomorrow, a fact which contributed much to tho quietude, of tho session. Cables were weak and the v wither favorable, but an nn offset, to t' ese Influences wns the vlslblo decreaso i ' 2,3I2,00 bu larger than had been nn tl'lpated. Tho decrease and tho strength of corn caused a rally following tho early r ilness, but It was lost. Now York re- rted threo loads taken for export.

Liquidation of May was the featuro In oats and tho discount between that option ntid July during tho day widened to ?ic. Tho market was dull and easy nil clay. Tim fine weather ns much as anything was the factor. Receipts were 175 cars, May sold between 22?c and 22!tfi22Vic and closed lower nt 22-lic. July ranged from 23Uc 1'i 23!ic, closing a ghado lower at ST'ie. The provisions market, under the In fluence of a weak hog market, was quiet n-'d easy nil day, but closed fairly Bteady. Tho featuro was changing. Thero was a moderate amount of liquidation through rnmmlsslgrt houses.

I NEW YORK, April 30. -The day on the stock market started off with another at I tempt to rush up prices by speculative manipulation with the purpose' of attract ; Ing an outside following, but the- ghost j Interest had been so far eliminated by the events of the latter part of hiHt weel: that thero was not sulllclent demand from that , source to keep up prices. Neither was 1 thero nny nwakeued Interest developed j through thu commission houses. The mar ! ket, therefore, fell back and becnm! dull and heavy, but without positive weakness , untill some of the later developments, when the bears showed renewed vigor mid sold prices to tho lowest of the day. i no violent lireak in sugar was ttie principal element In the docllno. That stock sold up to 121ii In the early denllligs nnd recovered to thnt llgure utter n re action nnd then fell away with occasional spasmodic rallies to Ul'i, closing only slightly above thnt. Tho news bearing on the stock consisted of n story from Bo'ton giving clnborato details of alleged terms of settlement of the trade war and tho expressed opinion of a prominent specu lator Just before sailing for Europe that tho war was settled. Several of tho principals In the trado conflict denied the allegations during tho day. Tho threatened strike on the New York Central caused a fall of 214 points In that stock and had a sympathetic effect else whero In tho list, Missouri Pacific was pushed up to 60 on rumors that a, dlvldond would bq declared nt today's meeting of directors and that John D. Rockefeller would bo admitted to tho directory. Both rumors failed to bo confirmed by tho event and tho stock fell back, but saved a small net gain. Tho steel Industrials, nftcr some show of wenkness, also becama llrm and closed generally with n small net gnln. Tho only developments bearing on tho group wero rumors rt'ardlng tho threatened legal process ngnlnst officials of the Steel and Wlro company. United States Leather made n considerable show of strength. Otherwise tho market genernlly yielded to the reactionary tendency and closed very near tho lowest and easy In tone. Thero wero no developments of Importance In thb money or exchange market, though both were scanned with eager Interest. Discounts in Loudon and sterling ex chango here wero slightly easier, but Lou don has to prepare for a 10 per cent In stallment of the government loan, which will bo taken up this week. Tho tighten ing of the London money market nnd the demand for exchango In Now York to pay the Installment of American aubscrlp Hon will both tend townrtl gold exports. Tho money market here continues easy nnd shows no sign of hardening, notwithstanding- tho diminished supply of cash for tho market on subtreasury operations, It Is worthy of remark In this connection that Saturday's treasury statement at Wash ington showed an excess of receipts over expenditures for the day of 331.321.6S1. thus materially raising tho figure of tho month's surplus, Railroad bonds were weak in sympathy with stocks, but tho dealings were rather light. Total salos, par value, $1,470,000. United States 2s nlvancel ti and new 4s declined ti In tho bid price. ' Commercial Advertiser's Loudon financial cable: Tho markets hero today were dull, ostensibly on dear money, but really because of the persistent pressure, realizing sales and tho general disinclination to buy. Funds relapsed fractionally. Ameri cans opened slightly above parltv. but thero was absolute stagnation In them until 3 o'clock, when n futile nttempt was nindo to Improve prices. New York camo heavy und sngged till tho closo. Tlntos fell 7-16 In connection with the Paris set tlement and on sales. Call inonei- wns In good demand, heavy Installments of West, rallun copper loans falling duo. Bills were steady, but had a slightly easier tendency. The bank renewed small sums hero und did n good business In discounts. The following nro tho closing prices on tho New York Stock exchange today: oral fund, exclusive of the $150,000,000 gold reserve In tho division of redemption, shows: Avallablo cash balance, $148,018,096: gold, $79,493,269.

At nil the selling points there was a good run with prospects or llDcrai receipts for trio wcck. in con soquence there was a general break In values all along the line. Buyers nt this point aimed to take off Just about 10c and thev succeeded In getting tho cattlo 6ifl0c lower, mostly 10a lower, than Die close of last ween, xno marKet was very siow, aci sellers hung on to tho last minute In an endeavor to wring out every cent possible, ajirt it was ute Derore a clearance wns or fectfd, Cows nnd heifers wero in as rood de. mand as usual at this point, which means tn.t buyers nad use ror an mat were on sale. For that reason the market on cow stuft was eteady anc reasonably active In spite of the docllno of fat steers. Bulls also fold about steady and voal calves the same as last week. Thore, appeared to he a very good de mand for stock cattlo and feeders. Specu lators dlaposed of all their cattlo last week and accordingly were all wanting more to start out the week with. Tho result was tha.t speculators were out early and soon picked up the few loads to bo had at good, stronr prices. Both thin cattle and warmed up or half-fat sold readily.
