Wheat Became Suddenly Excited During
the Final Hour of Trading.
CORN WEAK GREATER PART OF THE DAY
Speculative Interest Hnt All Transferred
to the 1Vlicitt Murkot In the
doling Ilniir * of tlio
Jloiuil'a Session.
CHICAGO , April 17-Tho wheat innrlcct
Xot suddenly cxcltod during the last fifteen
minutes ot 'change on the cash business
which developed here nnd nt New York.
Mny sold to 57He against 50'to ' Inst night.
The following were given as reasons for
the spurt : Sales of 2W.OGO bu. hern for
fhlpnient enst nt the equivalent to Mny
prices ; sales of a round number uf car
loads from twenty-five to fifty In addition
to tlio nbove , to GO to Michigan miller ! )
cxnd other smaller lots for country millers ,
jind fales reported from Now York , thirty-
four bout load ? , Including twelve at out-
ports , with cash selling to miller * at Uc
over Mny. The big feature of the slttia
tlon wan the claims that outside of Chicago
cage there la practically no available wheat
for export or for Interior domestic millers.
Traders In wheat appeared to bo much In
doubt this morning. There wag not enough
outside buying to greatly encourage local
buyers. On the other hand the boars were
timid , because the past two tlayn the ex
port sales were getting risky. There was
no Influence In the cables. Houtlnc news
was somewhat bullish. Northwestern cars
were 191 , compared with 2G2 ti year ago.
Western markets all told had 172,000 bu.
receipts , against 272,000 bu. last year.
OwlriK to the opening ot lake navigation ,
the forward movement of wheat was
liberal. Olllclnl reports on the Baltic nnd
Bundry shipments gave 3,3IS.CKJ < ) 1m. , where
the New Yolk dispatches yesterday claimed
4,600,000 bu. from lliii-gla nnd the Argen
tine. . MlnnenjjollH and Toledo dispatches
were bullish in tone regarding cash whcal
nnd Hour. The four leading ports and
New Orleans cleared for the clay 457,000
bu. In wheat nnd Hour. On this the mar
ket made Us best rally of the morning.
The rains over the southwest nnd favorable
crowing conditions over most of the coun
try gave the bears encouragement. At
llrst prices were little changed with sales
for May at from EG',4c to Gfic , followed
by a clip tn from CCUc to GGc , and a fair
rally to GGc. Before 12 o'clock there wns
a second dip to WJ'ic and a second bulge
to D6c. Later the market held quiet nt
G6'.4c ' , where May closed for two days
showing % c Improvement from Saturday
There was n surprise In wheat the lasl
hour. Doltlc and sundry shipments were
corrected to read 6,076,000 bu. On this the
crowd broke May price to Cfllic. When
New York reported eighteen boat loads
Bold for export and round lots sold here
amounting to 2GO.OOO bu. No. 2 red nt May
price , there was an attempt to buy. Then
May went up l'&c to S7'ic In a few minutes
Last prices were from G7Hc to 67V4c for
May nnd GSJic for July. Sculpingshor
holders were punished.
The corn market was weak during the
greater part of the day , but closed nbou
1-lCo over the closing figures of the day
previous. Speculative Interest was nl
transferred to the wheat market. May
opened nt from 45c to 45 > Jc , nnd thei
worked down to 45Hc , with a recovery Inter
to from 45' , c to 45 % , In sympathy with the
advance In wheat.
There was a big business doing In oats
and the market closed at from He to % c
lower than yesterday. Liberal selling
caused the decline , although the buying
wns urgent , nnd nt times pencrnl. Brokers
principally were taking stuff In , while Ream
nnd Bnrtlelt-I'Ynzler wore offering freely
Other selling was good , but not confined to
nny one party. May started at 28 c , de
dined to 2o. Fold up to from ZS'.Jc ' to 2S'/ii
nnd dropped off to 27T&C , nnd rallied to SSVic
nt which price It closed , with July fron
2KYta to 2Gc , nnd closed nt 27Vdc.
The trading In provisions was light am
fluctuations narrow. Pork ranged from
$12.321/4 to $12.25 , nnd closed nt $12.30 , or G <
decline for the day. Lard Is S'.AC lowe
for May nnd unchanged for Jnly. Hlb
showed no change In either the Mny o
July deliveries. The receipts for tomorro\
ore estimated : Wheat , 20 cars ; corn , 12C
cars ; oats , 1C5 cars ; hogs , 18,000 head.

KXOITKS1KN T IN OIL.
lirenk In the I'rlco of the Product Causes n
NEW YORK , April 17. While great excitement
was prevailing In the oil regions through a break
In the price of oil today the New York market
held a sinister temper , prices declining from
J2.70 bid to $2.15 nskixl , nnd closing at $2.17 bid ,
without sales. The weakness developed afler 2
o'clock , but resulted In no business at this point.
The Ofcllne has made the price of spot oil even
mre nominal than It has been , leaving quota
tions mere guesswork on the Utsls of about
$10.60 for renned In barrels nnd $11.60 for rase
oil. with crude In barrels worth $ S.50. Hut
nobody pretends to give close quotations In the
present feverish state of the market , nor Is nny
satisfactory explanation of the decline given nt
this point.

Market In Bccnrltloi Characterized bjr
Much Fltictiintlnni Yetterdnjr.
NEW YORK , April 17. There was no Indica
tion nt the opening ot business on the Slock ex
change today of the strength and buoynncy
which were subsequently Infused Into tha specu
lation , While the Initial dealings were active
Iho tone of the market was heavy , which wns
partly duo to the unsettled character of the
trading In Amerlcnn securities on the London
exchange and to the selling here for the foreign
account , General Eleclrlc wns nolnbly weak on
Bales Induced by the nctlon of the directors yes
terday In discharging the conference committee
with \Vestlnghousc company , thus abandon
ing the negotiations looking to a business com
bination , The shares broke Hi per cent , but
quickly rallied a fraction , nnd during the afternoon -
noon made a further recovery , leaching lit per
cent nbove the lowest , with a reaction of H per
cent at the close , making the loss on the day
only Vi per cent. Baltimore ft. Ohio was nlso
sold down on leports that the dividend would be
passed , nnd later , when the announcement wns
mndo tlint this should bo done , there wns a
further reaction , the totnl decline from yesler-
day's closing being 414 per cent , with a rally In
tha final sales of li per cent , restricting the
net decline to 2'4 per cent. The general market
became strong after 10:15 , nnd continued to move
upward until nlnut neon , when a reaction took
place In some of thp properties , llefore 1 o'clock
speculation hud again resumed Its tone , nnd
during Ihe rest uf the nay prices appreciated ,
the market closing buoyant nnd In a majority of
coses nbove the final sales of yesterday. Tim
trading In bonds continues on a very heavy
scnle , the totnl sales today aggregating $2,375,000. $
The tendency of prices was upward throughout
the day , nnd 115 bonds figured In the dealings.
The Evening Post's London cablegram says :
The stock markets today were lifeless nnd fea
tureless except iHlver stock , which wns very
strong on the reported signing of the treaty
between China nnd Japan. Americans wert- Ir
regular and dull , wllh no business. The India
council today allotted sixty lakhs of rupees nt
13d and 13',4d. ' Them Is much discussion ns to
how much China will endeavor to raise here to
pay tln > war Indemnity. The estimate nt piesent
generally favors a loan of about 10,000,001) .

The receipts today were 1,401 cattle , 4,002
ogs nnd no sheep , ns against 1,006 cattle ,
J.I78 hogs and no sheep yesterday , and 1,830
cattle , 6,013 hogs nnd 1,512 sheep on Wcdnes-
lay of Inst week ,
CATTLE There were fifty-nine loads of
cattle , nil told , In the yards nnd of that
number about sixteen or eighteen loads
, vcrc western beeves. In the way of native
jecf steers there were only seven or eight
oads and none of them very choice. The
market was slow and dull , as has been the
case all this week. The strength which ha
carried the market rapidly upward during
Ihe past few weeks has apparently spent
Itself for the time being. There was no
snap to the trade and It was slow work to
dispose of the offerings. The fact Is the
market Is In that unsatisfactory condition
In which buyers nnd sellers are widely at
variance In their Ideas. Salesmen after the
late advance are all Inclined to hold for
strong prices nnd Invariably price their
entile way up. On the other hand the
buyers are weak nnd seem to feel that
prices are already too high and that they
would just as soon dowithout the cattle.
As a result the market Is a drag and far
from satisfactory to either buyers or
sellers.
There were seven or eight loads of cows
and heifers In the yards today. The market
on this kind of cattle was fulrly active and
the offerings were all taken early In the
day. The prices paid were fully steady
with yesterday. A load of heifers and
steers sold nt { 5.25 , nnd a bunch ot heifers
it $1.70. The bulk of the cow stuff was on
the commonlsh order.
The stacker nnd feeder market did not
show any great activity , though there was
lulto a sprinkling of that kind of cattle In
the yards. Among the offerings were ten
oads of Montana feeders. The prices paid
did not show nny material change from
yesterday. Representative sales :

HOSTON , April 17. The American Wool nnd
Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow : If It were
not for the trunsactlcna In foreign wool the
volume of business done this week would foot
up a light total. Free- purchases of Australian ,
however , combined with a fair-sized trade In
South American wools , brings the aggregate of
the week's transactions up to quite a respectable
figure , nearly 3,600,000 Ibs. Prices In domestic
wools still fall to respond to the Improvement
previously quoted abroad. A very steady feeling
prevails , however , and we know of no conces
sions whatever that have been made In selling
prices. Transactions have been effected nt pre
cisely the same figures as were quoted two
weeks ag : > for exactly the name wools. Some of
the newly shorn wools are on the way to this
market , and some , notably California , have been
sold here nt prices which certainly show no
further casing off. The sales of the week amount
to 2,373,000 Ibs. domestic and 1,471CUO Ibs. for
eign , making a total of 3,741COO Ibs. , against a
total of 3,393.000 Ibs. for the previous week nnd n
total of 2,147,000 Ibs. for the corresponding week
last year. The sales since January 1 , 1&95 ,
amount to 45,9G3G50 Ibs. , against 39,198,400 Ibs.
n year ago. The Philadelphia sales aggregated
1,109,100 Iba.

Much Information and many valuable hints
'or writers may be Bothered In the April
number of the Author's Journal. Among the
iractlcal articles arc "The Qualities That
Sell Manuscripts , " by Tudor Jenks ; " 15x-
perlenccs With Publishers , " 'by Mary J ,
Holmes , the popular author , and "A Con-
: rlbutor's Trials , " by Lcander S. Keyser.
There Is a sketch with portrait of Richard
Watson Ollder In the scries "American Maga
zine Editors. The Author's Journal , 1 Wil
liam Street , New York.
Overland Monthly for April Is filled with
an abundance of light articles , sketches and
stories. "Daboo's IMrates" Is a tale breath
ing the tropical spirit of the Malay jungle ,
from the hand ot the editor , uounsevelle
Wlldman. Verncr Z. Ileed contributes "Lo-To-
Kali and the Golden Woman , " another of his
close studies of the better side of Indian na-
lure. These Utes and Navajos are as far
from Cooper's noble red man as they are
from the degraded loafer about western rail
way stations. The more solid articles ot the
number are "The Jew In San Francisco , " by
Habbl G. A. Danzlger , from the Hebrew's
point of view , and by Mrs. K. M. Nesfleld ,
from the Gentile standpoint , a long and fully
Illustrated article. It Is curious to BCD where
the two views agree and disagree. Overland
Monthly Publishing Company , San Francisco.
At a time when there Is such general
Interest In all matters pertaining to the
stage , the article on Joseph Jefferson In the
April New England Magazine will have a
: harm few can withstand. Mr. Jefferson
himself , his family , his home and his art
are treated In a most vivid way by one who
speaks with authority , the author , Mr , Wil
liam E. Bryant of the Boston Journal , being
a personal friend of the favorite actor. The
Illustrations enhance the value of the sketch ,
while reproductions of paintings from the
actor's own brush ore among the number.

A talk with the author of "Trilby , " Mr.
George Du Maurler , reported by Robert
Bhcrard In McClure's Magazine for April ,
tells a good story , with as charming1 a candor
and cordiality as "Trilby" Itself. The son
of a man of talent whose ready projects were
always disappointing the high hopes In which
they began , Du Maurler's youth was full of
wanderings and adventures. These he re
lates with the same humorous frankness
with which ho confesses his surprise at find
ing himself today a novelist on the "boom. "
Incidentally glimpses are given of his present
homo life and of his way of working , both
as artist and novelist. Miss Tarbcll's Life
of Napoleon covers an excellent account of
the retreat from Moscow , the exllo to Elba ,
the triumphant return , the defeat at Waterloo
lee and the death at St. Helena. Twenty-
four pictures from the collection of Mr. Hub
bard Illustrate these great and picturesque
evenls. There Is a humorous story by
Robert Darr , and a stbry by the author of
Resklo the Bonnie Brier Bush , " Ian
Maclaren , which In power of pathos can
scarcely be matched In all literature. Other
features of the number are a Plnkerton
story which tells of the stealing of $15,000
worth of diamonds off a man's person by open
assault In a crowded railway car under full
speed ; an account , with numerous pictures
of the frauds practiced on the Bank of Eng
land , and of the bank's manner of dealing
with financial panics ; and a study with portraits
traits and other pictures , of Pierre Loll as
he appears In private life writing his novels ,
administering his offlco of commander In the
French navy or taking his diversion. S. S.
McClure , Limited , 30 Lafayette Place , New
York.
Those who dc-slre to read the opposing side
of the discussion on socialism will find In
the April number of The Forum a strong
paper entitled "Tho Real 'Quintessence of
Socialism , ' " by Mr. W. H. Wallock. An ar
ticle on a kindred topic Is by Mr , Henry
Holt , who concludes his series of papers on
"Tho Social Discontent , " suggesting , among
other remedies for Its alleviation , better and
more universal education particularly civic
education and the cultivation of altruism.
Mr. Justin McCarthy , the Irish Journalist ,
politician , historian and novelist , contributes
an article of uncommon Interest on "Lord
Roscbery , " telling of the progress made by
women In England , France and Germany
toward securing admittance to the universi
ties on ttjual terms with men , the privileges
they have already obtained , and other valu
able Information , Mr. Alvan F. Sonborn con
tributes another Interesting sociological study
entitled "A Study of Beggars and Their LoJg-
Ings , " a companion piece to his article In
the January Forum , "The Anatomy of a
Tenement Street , " which attracted so much
comment. The Forum Publishing company.
New York.
Under the tltlfr "Paris In Mourning" Rich
ard Harding Davis gives In the April liar
pcr's a spirited description of the French cap
Ital during the week that followed the national
tragedy of last summer. The deicrlptlon In
eludes the election ot M. Caslmlr-Pcrler to the
presidency and the funeral of Carnot. Mr.
Alfred Parsons' series ol articles on Japan
Is continued with a paper on the Japanese
autumn , for which he has made twenty-one
beautiful and appropriate Illustrations. The
city of Washington Is perennially Interesting
to the people of the United States. Bcildcs
being the seat of national government , It Is
the show place of the country , and Is treated
aa such by Julian Ralph , The Illustrations
show the varied aspects of the city , from a
white house reception to the careless negro
population. The first chapters of the "Per
sonal Recollections of Joan of Arc" appear ,
with Illustrations by Frank V. Du Mond. The
authorship Is attributed to the historic Sleur
Lou la do Conic , but the real name of the
writer Is still a secret. The romance opens
with unusual attractiveness , and shows Joan
In her girlhood , marked among her peasant
playmates by her nobility of mind , her cour
age , and her acute sympathies. Harper &
Bros. , New York.
