CHICAGO, April 8-An advance of 3tc in i he price oi may option itave stienaiii to tne entile wneat maraet here louaiy. An iiigent ouituiia from snorts was i npiihi.il, ic for mo sharp upiuin in May. ai itiu cios May was up an even c. ju,y is up 'mic. ju.y o.ru aik.i snows ii oi :iilc. oats uie up -i'c anu provisiona oirength In May wheat was In evidence al tne start, that option opening 'tuo Higher at 1 I4H- Olsiant dtiiveiies, uow vvrr, aere weua, juiy uelng on mi).; to VV'V at Si'aj.'jSifce. Because ot the kiiiugth of Mny ti.cie was an active Ue nianu irom snot is in anticipation ot a bull laid. weakness ot the ju.y and Septem ber deliveries was due to lower cuomv and to continued favoraniu weatner loi.uiilons. rusi was leported as far south aa iexas. but temperatures recorded were not low enough to suggest any injury to the grow ing wheat ciop. Conditions In tne north west uiso were most lavuraole lor seed ing. Mtate leports irom onlo, Kentucsy and Missouri were received and ail w. it exiremuiy tjearlsn, showing a marked Im provement in thu condition ot tan sown wheat. I noer ordinary circumstances the Influences would have been suttlclent to create extreme weakness in t lie market. Manipulation of May by tne null clique, however, was enough ot a lactor to coun terbalance all these beurish Influences. As the session progressed the price of May mounted higher and higher, until It had reached Jl.l, V Onerttigs were light and the entire volume or- trading in that option was comparatively small, btreugth ot May gradually starteu a covering movement la July, which later developed to quite an active demand. The only item of bullish teuor In the day's news was an estimate of tho amount of wheat slid iu farmers' bands in Ohio. Official figures place the amount at 2,i5O,OU0 bushels compared with 4,6.,uw bushels a year ago. A bulge in corn was a late bull factor In wheat. Realising In May caused some reaction Just before tne close, but the July option closed at the highest point at HSc. Final quota tions on .M iy were 11.17. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to ina.bju bush els. Primary receipts were 27,taO bushels compared with t&3,3ou bushels a year ago. Minneapolis, Oulutli and Chicago reported receipts of lbH cars against 240 cars lust week and 241 cars a year ago. The feature of trading In the corn mar ket was an active covering of May and a consequent advance of IV in the price of that delivery. There was little in the way ot news that had any Immediate hear ing on the action of the market, although en bits were a trifle higher. Trading In May corn revealed a congested condition, offerings being wholly Inadequate to supply tho wants of some of the larger shorts. Strength of May had a bullish effect on the more distant deliveries. July opened unchanged at 47Hc, sold off to 47Vi7'c and then steadily advanced to 48V4V where It closed. May ranged between 47'4U' 4Ho and closed at 4V a net gain of lic. Local receipts were 1X6 cars. Oats were firm. The volume of trading waa light and the market was governed almost solely by the strength in corn. July opened a shade lower to a shade higher at 29H&29V:. sold up to 40Viu and closed at 8oc. Local receipts were 1N6 cars. Provisions showed considerable strength and business aws of liberal proportions. An advance of liftlac in the price of live bogs caused a scramble by shorts to cover at the outset and, as packers also were supporting- the market, the bulls bad their own way. Local , longs sold moderately. The market closed at the highest point of the day with July pork up 20c at $13.17. Lard was up 10c at $7.46, and ribs were 16c higher at 3..40. Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 29 cars; corn. 450 cars; outs, 160 cars; hogs, 2710 head. The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles. I Open. Hlgh.l Low. Close.! Yesy.

CAUSES SLUMP IN COMMON SHARES Market Is Vla-oroaely Sanpnrten and erlooa Uerllae Is Prereated More R amors of Traasroa tlaeatal Merger. NEW YORK. April 6 The Intention to Increase the preferred atock of t.'nlon Pa cing by $ioomi,i00 was not knowsi to the Wall street public until this morning and was a general surprise. This Incident formed the central Hlnt of interest In the day's stock market. Union Pacific has been the subject of gossip and surmise for many months during the course of Its remarkable rise, but none of the numerous conjectures regarding It pointed to the measure an nounced this morning. This fact In Itself caused a doubt that a large part of the re ports which have circulated regarding this stock were III Informed. The effect on the common stock was unfavorable, as was not unnatural In view of the prior privilege of the preferred stock, now to be doubled In amount to dividends to the extent of 4 per cent. The common stock was offered heavily both for domestic and foreign ac count. It was vigorously supported, how ever, all day. Brokers before the opening were making offers to take all the stock that any one would sell and the same brok ers were diligent buyers up to the level of last night. The support was then relaxed ugaln, but renewed at any periods of acute weakness. Officials of the company de clined to add anything to the official cir cular ns to the specific purposes for which the proceeds nf the stocks are to bo used or as to the proposed time for Issuing it. As sertions were freely made, however, among the speculators In the stock that the project had to do with the proposed combination of Union Pacific with New York Central and Chicago & Northwestern. It was pointed out that President Harrlman In maintain ing the wisdom of seeking financing capital requirements through the issue of stock rather than through the creation of fixed Interest bearing obligations had Injected Into the official circular the remark "espe cially such ns arise In connection with the acquisition of stocks of other companies. This was adduced to Indicate that a merger project was In view, but Wall street had formed the opinion that the supposed mer ger was to Ik? accomplished by the ex change of bonds of a holding company for existing securities, which would not in volve a great outlay of cash. The prospect of a $100,000,000 block of new stock, there fore, came ns a shock to sentiment and emphaslied the effect of the huge volume of Issues which Is being added to con stantly from many sources. The determined support of Union Pacific was supplemented by notable upward movements In a number of special stocks, so that the depressing effect of the Union Pacific announcement waa modified to a considerable extent. Tho railroad list, the southern group and Canadian Pacific were very strong. The only news to account for the movement was the suggestion, based on earnings and reports of possible dividend Increases. American Smelting headed an other strong group. Including the Lead stocks und some others in affiliated metal trades. 'Hie United States Steel stocks were sluggish most of the day, but they moved up late to higher prices than were touched yesterday und helped to sustain the general list by sympathy. A miscel laneous list of Industrial specialties showed considerable strength. The railroad list as a whole, however, was held buck. Sterling exchange was strong again In spite of the great ease of money in foreign centers. This was attributed to the selling Of stocks here for foreign account. In some of t he very active stocks the net changes for the day proved to be small and tne market closed Irregular. Bonds were easy. Total Sales, par value, $4,320,000. Untied States bonds were all Un changed on call. , The following were the quotations on the New York Stock exchange: Sales. Hlgn.ixiw. Close. 10.

At the opening of the market at this point trades were made on a basis of n 7c to loc advance. It was noticeable, however, that buyers were picking out the better grades, such as both packers und shippers were anxious for. and such kinds sold right around a dime higher. On the gen eral run of hogs they were only offering an advance of about 7c, and as salesmen thought they ought to have more money, the market came to a standstill and It was some time before much more business was transacted. The hulk of the early sales went from tR.27 to 6.30, with a top at 15.35. The situation did not improve any rs the morning advanced, and as a result most of the salesmen Anally cut loose at the prices offered. Quite a fea- hogs, hiiwevrr, were carried over until afternoon. The late sales were very largely at 15.27.
