to own enough of the contract stocks
everywhere to make it Impossible to get
enough contract groin to deliver. The
commission housed have stopped all new
business In May wheat and are using every
effort to i lose out their open deals. The
Omaha branches have bean warned not to
take any new business. Some of tha
Louses demand 5- for buying and Ifac for
selling orders. This feature of the situa
tion made the business more acuta ed

CHICAOO. April 6. Reaction from fear
of an acute snneeie )n wheat weakened the
market today, following higher prices earlv
In the session. Th Julv option closed at
II net loss of Vitr -May. though -V , Is
ISc below the top figures of the ilav. ij.rn
Is off '!( ''.-. Oats are down S'"- 1'ro
vlslons show a loss ot V'Qlr.
Strength of the May option was the
main factor In the wheat market at the
opening. Initial quotations on that delivery
were up lc to pp, at ft 1T 1 1HV July
was unchanged to i,c higher, at m ,'ukh,i-.
Another f.ictor. however, that exerted con
siderable Influence was a substantial ad
vnnce In the price or wheat at Liverpool.
The sharp upturn in May was due to an
urgent demand from shorts. Owing to the
congestion in may. Commission houses
showed signs of increasing unwillingness
to take new trades In that delivery except
at unusual margins. A sharp call for ex
cessive margins is said to have forced sonic
of the covering purchases at the start. It
was reported that margins as high as 2'K:
a bushel had been asked. As the session
progressed the drertd of a sensational ad
vance In May resulting from a bull raid as
affecting lufpr deliveries began to wear off
and some prominent local operators who
had covered July wheat as a precautionary
measure commenced to resell. Offerings
were sufficiently heavy to start n decline,
which developed Into considerable weak
ness before the end of the dsy. Poor de
mand for cash wheat In all outside mnr
kets had a depressing effect on specula
tive trading here. Additional reports were
received telling of favorable growth of the
fall sown crop. Another bearish Influence
was an estimate of 3,o0.0OU bushels as the
amount of shipments from Argentina -for
the week, compared with 2.61t).m bushels
last week ljite In the du Mav wheat
sold off to fl.171 and Julv to S7sc. The mar
ket closed almost at the lowest point of
the day, with May at fl 17V Final uuota
tlons on July were at Kr.teSXr. Clearances
of wheat and flour were equal to 3ii,titi
bushels. Primary receipts wpre 320..V"! bush
els, compared with 374. 2u0 bushels a yejir
ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago re
fsirted recplpta of 2.(9 cars, against 23 cars
last week and ,'li2 ears a year ago.
Weakness of wheat and increased ship
ments from Argentina created bearish sen
timent In the corn market during the last
half of the session, l'.arly In the day the
market was quite strong as a result of
higher prices at Liverpool and smaller
local receipts than expected. Shorts were
flood buyers; prices declined o:i prollt tak
ng and the market closed practically at
the lowest point of the day. July opened
a shade to ;4a Ve higher, at 4S'4C(4)gc. sold
off to 477c and closed nt 4o. Ijocnl re
pplpts were 413 cars, with 25 of contract
grade.
Covering bv shorts and a fair general
demand caused moderate firmness in oats
early In tho dav. Later tha market weak
ened In sympathy with other grains. July
opened unchanged to a shade hlnher. at
80C to 30lc.. sold between 29M1W4C and
closed at 2flrc. Ixical receipts were cars.
Provisions were firm early !n the day
on falrlv active buying of lard by a prom
inent packer. Higher prices for hogs also
had a bullish effect. An easier tone de
veloped on tho decline In grains. At the
close July pork was off 12.4jc. at flH.OC. Lard
was down 2MiC at f7.42'. Ribs were oC(f7c
loiter, at f7.32i7.S5.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow. Wheat.

NEW YORK. April 6 The tock market
broadened out today Into a much Is'lttr
distribution of strength mid there was a
decided growth in animation as well. The
tone uf the railroad list was not so nls
tinetly differential from that of the In
dustrials as was the case yesterday and
earlier In the week, but there peislsted a
rather spotty tendency amongst the rail
roads. II. e Inciting Influence to the notable re
vive! of speculative Intertst was the or
ganized movement in I nlted Slates. Steel
preferred, which stock was rushed up to a
iccord price by lapid steps on an enormous
accumulation. This movement was, of
courw. based on the extraordinary activ
ity and pruspetity in the iron und steel
tr.ide. Rut this Is not a new development,
nor Is there any Immediate new feature in
the situation in that trade. It was in
ferred, there fine, that the suddenly ag
gressive tone developed by the stock
due to the formation of a speculative party
for the conduct of the market operations
rsther than to a spontaneous spicad over
night through the country at laige of a de
Hire to buy the stock. The preliminary
rise In I-oiuluri and the Important buying
of the stock lure carried the impression
that the campaign has Its ramification
abroad as well as 111 thLs country. The ob
vious nature of the opciatlon did not have
a deterrent effect at all on the sympa
thetic influence of thp movement on the
rest of the list, it has lieen a matter of
discouragement amongst the speculative ele
ment tor some time tnat the I'nitud States
Steel ntocks were neglecturt and compara
tively unresponsive 10 the unprecptb nled
trade conditions in that Industry, the effect
being to suggest some unknown condition
back of tho superficial situation which
might prompt ultra-conservatism on the
part of the insldeis In the corporation.
Tho relief offered by today's developing nt
from the dampening; effect 011 the general
list of the sluggishness of Hip bulky and
unwieldy Steel issues was very quickly
manliest throughout the market. The pur
pose of the 91tai.tM,s Increase In l iilon Pa
cific pieferred stock was as much a mys
tery us when first announced and the wide
range of conjecture on this point was a
potent influence on the speculation In vari
ous stocks. The conviction is geueial that
the acquisition of control of nuother rail
road sj'Htem is in contemplation, but the
Identity of the railroad Intended shifts con
stantly In the surmises current In the mar
kit. St. Paul and Atchison wert both
pointed to nt different periods today, while
the New York Central hypothesis suffered
some decline in authority with drugging
iffect on that stock
The coming lead merger, which is now
generally accepted us 11 faot, was a con
tributing influence in the stock Immedi
ately affected. The inovtment In the south
ern group of railroads was helped by the
great growth in the cotton movement and
the encouraging reports from tne wJnttr
wheal crop were a supiiorting factor In the
general market. The gradual casing of the
money market encouraged the fulth of ttie
speculative element that there is plenty to
go around for all their purpose.". The an
nouncement of a call for 50 per cent of
government deposits In two Installments
011 May 15 and July 1 did not disturb this
confidence in the slightest, degree, uny more
than did the active demand for exchange,
which lifted tho price another liberal frac
tion. The extent of the duy's advance In
vited considerable realizing and the mar
ket dosed irregular und generally below
the best.

CATTLE Conditions on the cattle mar
ket were again very bullish, as Chicago
only had b,5i, Kansas City 4.ouo and
Omaha 3,mvi head. Vlth the demand of
normal proportion from both shippers ant!
puckers there was hi live competition and
prices responded 1 orrespondingly.
Thp market on oecf steers could be de
scribed as very active, with prices gen
erally a dime higher on anything at all
desirable. 'I he less desirable grades may
not have been that much higher in all
caaes. but still everything commanded good
strong prle'es und an early clearance was
made. Buyers were out at an early hout,
and as their bids looked good to salesmen
the cattle were soon on the roud to the
scales. As high us fb.OO was paid lor
steers this morning, und one bunch that
sold for that figure contained two head of
heifer.
The cow market could safely be quoted
strong to a dime higher, the advance being
confined largely to the better grades.
Canners and common cutters are selling
a little better than they were a week
ago, but still the improvement on that
kind has been slWht. owing to the fact
that the demand seems to be limited. The
beftr grades, or anything good enough to
sell from $2.75 up has ruled active all
the week and prices are fully 4oc to 50c
higher than they were last Friday. As
high as $5.23 was paid this morning for a
bunch of heifers weighing 1.041 pounds.
Bulls, veal calves and stags were all
strong and active, c wing to the higher
prices ruling on steers and cows.
There was no particular change In the
Blocker and feeder market this morning.
The demand for anything at all good was
brisk, and such Kinds could be quoted
strong, but cattle lucking In quality were
not very active and only about steady.

HOtlS The hog market here today was
In much the same condition It was yester
day. That Is some of the packers and
shippers started out and bouht a tew
of the lietter loads at stronger prices, sales
ranging from strong lo 2rc higher. 'I he
remaining buyers did not take hold and
Sftr the first orders w.mp filled the mar
ket cam" to a standstill with buyers of
fering about steady pilces with yesterday s
close, or. In other words, sll of the early
advance was lost. As salesmen could not
make up their minus to take the prices
offered the close was very slow, the same
as It was yesterday. The bulk of all the
hogs went from $6,274 to K.S2V,, with the
long string at 16.30. The choicer loads
sold largely at 15.32), and $5.M. while the
commoner kinds sold from $f.274, down.
The situation Frew worse Instead of let
ter aa the day advanced and at mam lf '
were a good many hogs unsold, for which
packers were onlv offerings 15.26. with some
of the choicer loads around $5 27'i- f1 '"."
men would not accept the prices, so that It
was late before anything like a clearance
was made. Representative sales:
No.

814 EEB There was a moderate
sheep and lambs here today, but owing to
the faot that Chicago was quoted weak to
a dime lower packers were Inclined to he
rather bparish. The market could prob
ably best be described by calling It slow,
with the feeling weak, hut sS a matter of
fact most of the deslruble grades of sheep
sold about steadv. Lambs In particular
were dull and buyers did not seem to care
whether thev bought anv or not. so that
salesmen found It difficult to dispose of
them at any price. As high as Je.iM wus
paid for ewes and some clipped ewes
hrought 14.75.
There was a brisk demand for feeder
lambs of good quality and steady prices
were paid. The best string offered sold
for W. 56.
