That apeculative giant is reported to have char tered a second steamer to convey 80,(i0 bushels mora of the contract corn to the eaatern seaboard. This, with the chartera of Baturday, allow for 840.KX1 bushela, more than one-lhird of the contract stock in Chicago. This shows that No. I Is to be hipped out of reach. Liverpool has re timed after the taster holidays ami corn there opened unchanged thla morning. A report that three cargoes of corn are re turning from Kngland la counted. I no Aiinenapona uour people are woraing or a lower wheat market. They are not 11 pleased with the flour situation and ope to , better tt by getting cheaper wheat.

NEW YORK. April 5 The perturbation reflected jesterday in the stock market, on account of the I nlon Pacific's legal fight to rcgnln Its former holdings of the .North ern Pacific In the Interest of the Sicurltfcs on-.pany, had largely subsided today. The result was a speculative movement of more breadth and more general Indication of Interest than for a long time. That the operators were largely those of profes sionals was sufficiently Indicated by the methodical manner in which they were conducted, first one and then another stock or group of stocks being taken in hand and advanced to a higher level of prices, th3 market showing a vast improvement In tone. I'nlon Pacific was conspicuously aloof from the day's upward movement, but it had no appearance of being in free supply or being pressed for sale. United States Steel prererred also failed to share fully In the day's strength. There was an enormous absorption of the second mortgage bonds on a strongly rising market, lhe day s news did not seem to lay much part In the general movement. Reports of ralna in the southwest may have Induced buying of the grain carriers In that section. The reports of railroad earnings for the fourth week in March which came to hand were distinctly better nam tne recent average, especially in tne southern and southwestern sections. Prices of copper rose strongly both here and abroad and the strong statistical position In the trnde Is much dwelt upon. The oral tractions as a group moved upward without news. The anthracite carriers wore Inclined to ag on account of the supreme court do clslon requiring the companies to produce their contracts netore tne interstate l:om meroe commission. Sterling exchange moved quite decisively away from the point of profit on the triangular gold ex port operation both here and In Paris. The market closed irregular and with the ef fects of realizing aulte evident. Bonds were active ann strong, except Tor pome realizing In Union Pacific convertibles. Total sales, par value, 4.io,0OO.

The demand lrom both lo cal packets and shippers wss heavy and as a result an active and strong market was experienced all around. The bulk ot tne aesirap.e cattle was sold in good sea son. Beef steers made un a larare share of tha offerings and -the market could safely bu alio ted strong. The same as is generally le case with a strong market, a good many sales were fully 6iuc higher than yesterday. Tidy, blockv cattle of arood quality were picked up in a hurry at prices safely a dime higher, while the general run of the steers sold at strong prices. Trading waa fairly active on most all kinds, with the exception of the warmed up stuff, ana considering the heavy re ceipts, the market was In very satisfactory i-uuuiuun. The cow market was also active and strong. Light-weight heifers continued to be the most popular line In the yards and .n many cases sold nigner tnan steers of the same quality and flesh. They could be quoted strong to a dime higher than yes terday and the same would apply to light weight cowa of good quality. Other cowa were steady to strong, but tho market wns quite active and a good clearance was made. Bulla sold fully as strong as thev did yes terday and If of light or medium weight they were a little higher. Veal calves sold In about the same old notches. There Were onlv a few bunches of stock cattle In the ynrds and, with a good de mand, the market ruled active, and strong. As high aa 84.60 wns paid for some year ling Gallowava, pnrt of which were year ling bulls. That Is the highest price paid for stock cattle In some ti-ne past, but the oatle were also the best ot nnv that have been here In many days.
