much influenced oy ir.ese tiulliali reports,
but the outsiders have nut shown much
Interest, and the market is on today, not
so mum on the liquidation a on the lack
ot buying orders. The news from the

Kaneaa state report. Just out, says the
general average, taking the good with the
bad. In U lor winter wheat as against W.s
for lliUB, "4 for 1I2 and ). for unl. The
reDort hvi nlma in manv sections the
plant has not advanced as lar as usual, It
Is of good quality and responds to Improved
conditions loiiowlng the rains. This Is due
to the saturated condition of the soli, in
most counties the soil and weather are
propitious. r)t. Louis wires a prominent
uian of Kansas City, and Buys Johnson
county win laiae twice as mu n wheat as
last year and the stale will have ft
big crop. 1 here were killing frosts
at Concordia and Dodge City, Kan., and
at Kansas City and Hprlnneld, Mo. From
Newcastle, ind., a merchant writing to his
brother says there are no prospects for a
crop In Henry county one-fourth being
more than Is expected. An nsietsor In
Noble county says the fields are bare
ground and the farmers In that part of the
slate will not get their seed bark, One
balf the farmers will sow oats if It ever
f i'is dry enough. Spring plowing and seid

LEGISLATION AFftCTS GAS SECURITIES
Bank Statement Shoni Imaller lyoaa
Eipnnnlnn and the Cash Increase
Enhances Surplus of Reserves.
NEW TORK, April 14. There waa only a
sluggish drift In today's stock market and
tn trading was without Interest. The day
ended vsHli prices generally a fraction
lower, after having been at one time higher.
The only considerable movements were In
specialties on Individual causes. The local
gas stocks were aected by the surmises
regarding the fste of legislation front
which they would benefit. The weakness
of the Virginia Carolina chemical atocks
was caused by a proposition to Issue pre
ferred stock for repayment of a large float
ing debt The bank statement showed a
smaller loan expansion than expected, so
that the cash Increase went further to en
hance the surplus of reserves, but the mar
ket sold oft after the publication of the
bank statement and closed easy at the
lowest.
The Kansas state report on wheat eon
dltlona weakened th wheat market by In
dicating a more favorable condition than
that reported by the government. A pub
lished report of a determination to stop
improvement work" on tne rennsyivania
system attracted attention, as did a state
ment that steel orders booked by the
United States Steel corporation for 19i4
amounted to but l.OOO.dOO tons. The bond
market was relatively firmer than stocks,
but was dull. Total bond sales, par value,
3975,000.
The Impression conveyed by the action
of the week's stock market has been one
of depression, but the Irregular movement
of prices carried the level of the market
but a small distance from last week's
closing level, either above or below, and
the volume of dealings has been much con
tracted from that recently prevailing. The
general public has obtained no satisfactory
clue to the recent enormous accumulation
of Union Pacific, and Insiders profess to
be equally In the dark, as nsserted by J.
11. Schlff In a published interview In Ger
many. Public utterances by President 11111
of the Great Northern have confirmed the
belief that the Union Pacific has entered
upon a determined contest for the control
of the Northern Pacific and of the Bur
lington. The prospect has chilled specu
lative enthusiasm. Another cause of dis
appointment was the further Issued dur
ing the week of short-time notes by rail
roads and th American Telephone com
pany at high Interest rates. The hope has
been aroused that the market waa Improv
ing for railroad bonds and the sale of

some uujs there waa Utile else than steurd
on sate. Tha demand, though, iroin boih
packers and shippers was aoout euual to
me occasion,' as is snown by the tuci thai
trading waa quit active on most days and
practically everything offered here was
aold, and that prices did not suffer a loss
of more than I0114.I00. vith the Sirungih on
Friday the general market ia not inure than
a alma lower, only aomelhinc common and
undesirable bemg more than that, choice
handy weight cattle are very iltila lower
for the week. The good to cholca cattle
are quotable frcm 4.o .to $b.0o, with
strictly prima from $0.00 to $6.25. Fair to
good cattle sell from $4.00 to $4.60 and tha
common to fair from $3.50 to $3.90.
The cow market haa not been heavily
supplied this week, and In fact on aome
days there were not euougr to till packers
requirements. Buyers, though, made use
of the heavy receipts of aleera to pound the
market on cows about the same amount as
on steers. At the close of the week he
market showa a losa of about a dime, aome
heavy and undesirable arades belt. a aa
much aa 15c lower, with choice light weight
cows and nelfers scarcely sny lower man
a week ago. Onod to choice grades are
Quotable from $3.40 to $4.00. with strictly

The market on bulla IS fully steady for
the week. Strictly choice grades sell from
$3.25 to $3.76. but the bulk of the fair bo
good ones from $2.76 to $3 26, with common
stuff from $2 75 down. Veal calvea are
ateady. choice grades selling up to $5.76,
The demand for stockers and feeders was
not very rushing last week and as a result
prices eased off a little. Choice stockers
are now selling to the greatest advantage
and are right close to steady for the week.
Heavy feeders, however, and tho commoner
grades of atockers have been rather neg
lected and are about lOfflSc lower for the
week. Good to choice grades are quotable
from $3.75 to $4.26, fair to good from $3.50 to
$3.75. and the commoner grades from $3.60

HOGS Thtre was a fair run of hoas hers
this morning for a Saturday, and with a
liberal demand the market waa brisk with
prices a little stronger than yesterday. At
tne opening 01 tne marsei, tnougn, packers
were bidding a little lower and a few loads
were aold that way. After the first round,
though, the market stiffened and became
more active, the close be Ins a shade
stronger than yesterday's prices. Every
thing was sold at an early Hour, tne mar
ket being the most active of any that has
been experienced In aome time past. The
long string want at $4 90. with the bulk
of all the aalea from $4.87 to $4.92. The
prime loads went rrom 14.92 to 40.1H), and
the common stuff from $4 85 down. Packers
are discriminating against the extreme
lleht welahts to quite an extent and that
class tells considerably below the bulk of
the good weight hogs. A load weighing
163 pounds aold at $4.70.
For the week receipts have been very
liberal, aa la ahown by the fact that there
Is an Increase over last week amounting
to about 14,000 head, and. aa compared with
the corresponding ween or last year the
gain amounts to about 9,000 head. There
was a slight advance in prices on Mon
day, but on Tuesday and Wednesday the
tendency was downwaru. tne loss lor tne
week amounting to nearly 15c. Since
Wednesday, though the movement hss been
unward. so that cloning prices are only
about 6c lower than tha close of last week.

SHEEP There were a few cars of lambs
reported thia morning, but not enough to
make a market. ror tha week receipts
are about the same as for last week, with
a slight Increase over the ssme weeR or
last year. The demand has been In good
healthy condition, with the tendency of
prices upward. Wethers and yearlings
nave advanced about ISiitTv while ewes
have nut gained more than a dime at
the outside. As mentioned yesterday, how
ever, ewes have been selling higher than
any other class of mutton, so that It Is
only natural to suppose that they will not
advance as rapld'y as other grades.
ins lanMi market wss also in very satis
factory condition all the week and prices
advanced even more thsn on wethers and
yearlings. The gain can safely be put st a
quarter, while nnny salesmen are calling
the market 26gx50 higher for the week.

PT. LOUIS. April I6.-N0 apprehension
of Incompleteness need be entertained con
cerning tl:3 opening day of the Louisiana
Purchase exposition, according fo Director
of Exhibits F. J. V. Pklff. He said:
At this time we are far ahead of any ex-
sitlon ever held. There are now 0,(o
workmen employed utvn the grounds an,i
woik is progressing in surn a way mat
we need not entertain the least thousht or
apprehenalon concerning the success of tha
opening day. Neither President Franrla
nor any of the department chiefs feel anx-
lors on tne matter. ir tne individual ex
hibitors do not get their places Into shape
by the end of next week, the exposition
management will then take matters Into
tneir own hands and do it for them.
Of course, there are some of the foreign
exhibits thst are not iet completed, but
everything else will be In such a state of
completeness that this will not be noticed.
Without wishing to make any sanguine as
sertion, I can safely say that even tha
ronds will be In tine order cn the opening
day. The recent rains have done conslder-
le damace to the roads, but that will all
have been repaired.
